A new survey released by JDate.com and Christian Mingleanalyzes the patterns and behavior of the two major dating communities, including dating etiquette, social and familial influences on relationships and attitudes towards infidelity.

Forget “Real Housewives” or “The Bachelorette.” Joan Rivers is someone whose life we want to vicariously live every week on TV. After more than 15 years of single life, Rivers has announced she is ready to find love — and we can watch her do it. Starting in September, Rivers will star in a webseries…
‘So you’re Jewish, right?” Tobias asked while we were watching an episode of “Real Housewives” on his couch. “Yup,” I responded.
