Ever wonder what dating is like in another part of the world? We asked global CMBers about different aspects of their love lives, with everything from their eligibility to how much they’re willing to pay on the first date. Responses varied across the board, but there’s one thing most CMBers can agree with — dating, regardless of where you live, is difficult. But don’t worry, that’s where we can help.
Take a look at what members said, from where the most eligible singles are to what characteristics they value most in a match.

Sunday Spotlight: Dick Talens

June 24, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

In this week’s New York’s Sunday Spotlight, we hit up Dick Talens – the co-founder of Fitocracy, the revolutionary fitness social network – for some fitness tips for the summer and for awesome date ideas in New York.

If you have not heard of Fitocracy by now, you don’t know what you are missing out.  Two pictures are worth a 1,000 words: Fitocracy transformed Dick from here to up there. He looks so good now, he makes Jared Fogle’s transformation laughable (OK, we exaggreate a bit).

Once a fat, video-game obessed geek (a cute one nevertheless), Dick says he used pure geekery to train himself – visualizing himself as a video game character while spending many hours nerding out on nutrition and exercise.  His experience training together with his fellow nerd and best friend from college, Brian Wang, was the basis for their company Fitocracy, which they founded together in 2010.

To keep up with his latest & greatest, follow Dick on twitter @DickTalens

———————————————————————————————————————-

1. It’s the summer & I need a quick way to get in shape! Any tangible advice/recommended routine? Please tell us it’s possible…

“When you say “get in shape for the summer”, I’m going to assume like 99% of people, you mean “look good naked”.  There is only one effective way to do that (and no, it does not involve running):

I. Focus on your diet.  If you’re trying to lose fat, figure out how many calories you need in a day and eat a few hundred calories below that.  Keep protein high to maximize satiety, increase your caloric expenditure, and build lean mass.

II. Focus on compound exercises, namely squats, bench presses, and deadlifts.  These exercises will make you build your ideal body faster than anything on the planet.  For the ladies, don’t worry, you won’t get bulky from lifting.  In fact, the opposite is true.  A beginners program like Starting Strength is pretty good.”

2. What is the best healthy yet yummy food spot you like to go to in NYC?

“One of my favorite restaurants is Mooncake Foods in Soho.  It’s a bit hole-in-the-wall-y, but that’s probably the reason that it’s the best bang for your buck.  It’s cheap, has a good amount of protein, delicious, and most of all it’s a healthy crapton of food in every order.

3.  Where is the best place to work out & also meet cool people? (OK you can say Fitocracy)

“Ummm, definitely Fitocracy.  Well, you can’t work out physically on Fitocracy, but you can meet the coolest, most inspirational people on there when it comes to fitness.  We’ve got guys who’ve lost hundreds of pounds, 70-year-olds who lift, an amputee who deadlifts twice his body weight, and even the reigning Miss New York (who used Fitocracy to get in shape for her pageant) is on there.”

4. What is your idea of the best Sunday date in NYC?

“Bottomless brunch on Arte Cafe on the Upper West Side. Going to Crumbs for cupcakes afterwards. Then, people watching in Central Park and counting how many dogs look eerily similar to their owners (if you haven’t tried this, you’re missing out). Finally, an intense lifting session at the gym finishing with post-workout sushi.”

Sunday Spotlight: Devo Springsteen

June 17, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

We are excited to kick-off New York’s Sunday Spotlight with Devo Springsteen, a Grammy Award winning producer and songwriter, and more importantly, a proud member of Coffee Meets Bagel :)

Why do we love Devo so much? Well, first and foremost, he is a super talented musician. He produced & wrote songs for many musicians, most notably for his college roommate John Legend & his cousin Kanye West. Devo won the Best Rap Song Grammy in 2006 for his production of “Diamonds (from Sierra Leone)” with Kanye West.

And guess what ladies? With a BS from University of Pennsylvania (Go Penn!) AND a MBA from Columbia Business School, Devo truly has it all. The guy is not only a genius musician but also amazingly smart & business savvy.

When we first learned of all this, our gut instinct was to instantly hate him (as we do all overachievers) for making us feel so…inadequate. But how could anyone hate this sweet smiling creature with such gentle disposition! We love you Devo and thanks for sharing your favorite spots in New York City with all our members!

To keep up with his latest & greatest, follow Devo on twitter @springsteezy.

Oh, lastly, Devo says: “If you get me as a “Bagel,” don’t PASS!”

Devo’s favorite date spots in NYC

1. What are some of the best hangout spots in NYC during the summer that are good for dates?

“I like Summit Bar on 9th & C in the East Village and Niagara on 7th & A (or any place with Big Buck Hunter). I like places with tasty drinks where there are other fun spots to hang out nearby.”

2. How about your favorite restaurants in NYC during the summer?

“I used to live in the village so I’m partial to it as you can see but Mogador on St. Marks between 1st and A has a great bastilla. Also the Fried Yard Bird at Red Rooster in Harlem. Both have outdoor seating.”

3. What is your idea of the best Sunday date in NYC?

“What would be cool is going to dinner at Spice Market or Pastis somewhere near the meatpacking district. Then strolling downtown from there, there is a super-fun Mexican dive bar – having some drinks there and continuing downwards to go to see comedy in the West Village.”

4. Lastly, of course we have to ask you a question on your favorite music spot in the city! Somewhere you can take your date to. 

“I really really like low-key places to big fancy places so my favorite place to listen to music to dance and whatnot is probably The Darby on 14th Street. To listen to people perform I like SOB’s because the crowd is usually lively and the bands are usually just at the point where they have a known repertoire but it’s still early enough in their career to be exciting for everyone.”

Mark your Calendar

May 3, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC, Uncategorized /by CMB

Hey when you hear something worth marking your calendar you just have to do it.

So here’s a heads up for this June!

brewyork:

If you enjoyed the NYC American Craft Beer Festival back in March, then chances are you’re going to enjoy an event coming up this June from the same organizers: the Brooklyn Waterfront Beer Festival. The festival of great craft beer will be held outdoors on the East River waterfront at North 11th Street in Williamsburg in two sessions on Saturday, June 16th.
