Setting the smut straight
Hey folks. I know two posts on a lazy Friday has just got to blow your mind.
But I couldn't help responding when I heard that we aren't only being parodied - how fun! - but that Ruby and I are being cast as self-described man-magnets by a fellow blogger.
Chalk that one up to Ruby, whose stories would lead you to believe she's left a miles-long trail of dazed men in her wake.
I don't know that I'd be so confident, kids.
And as for Wingfella, well, that guy needs some serious help with the ladies ;).

Ginger - gosh, even your name sounds pretty.
Hey, is it true you went out on dates with men just for the meal? Man, I can only DREAM of something like that. The last guy I ... well, you know ... bought me breakfast the next morning. But I can only dream of a dinner date!!!

One of the reasons I like Unbuttoned is for the spectrum of experiences the trio has had:
We can call Ruby *Hurricane Ruby* — she's a man-bestin' powerhouse no force around can stand up to — but you've got a sense that, in the middle of it all, she's got a totally different M.O. deep down. She's one of the good ones. But still, reading about her various badass exploits kind of makes you want to step back and say "Daaaaaaaayum" like you were in You Got Served.
Ginger reps the Machiavellian side of the dating scene — from the time she went out with the dude for a free meal to the time psychoanalyzed someone's choice of shoes for 50 minutes before speaking to them. "My car was making this really weird noise," she'd say, "and then I remembered that a certain fella who'd been giving me eyes had said he knew how to change his own oil, so I ... [continue on to various automotive double entendres]. And it runs fine now." Classy.
And I like Wingfella's salt-of-the-earth dating sensibilities and grounded advice. Heck, I'm harboring a man-crush on him myself. And now that's he got a freshly-cleaned car ... well, you wouldn't have to twist my arm.
Olive's posts provide a good counterpart to Wingfella's xy insights – together the two blogs give people a good mix, sort of like Unbuttoned is US Weekly's "Stars, They're Just Like Us!" and Unsmutted is the book that teaches you how to make wallets outta Duct Tape.

If someone as unsuccessful in the dating department as I am wrote this blog, it would have no entries. QED.
