As some of you know, Bossy is recovering from open heart surgery. Luckily, time heals all wounds! What they fail to mention is: time heals all wounds, but it doesn’t heal anything else!
Which is why Bossy has been pondering dating websites. Namely, Bossy has been pondering how much she hates dating websites.
For those of you who don’t know about dating websites because you are happy, it goes like this:
Walks on the beach, Mozart, gentle rain, bah!
Which is when Bossy decided to dedicate her online efforts to finding a vacation house instead, so Bossy can travel at great expense in order not to recover there either.
So Bossy perused her favorite vacation rental site, Airbnb. And there Bossy discovered an interesting bonus to the real estate listing.
For instance Bossy discovered this cheerful studio flat:
This flat is tucked inside the heart of London, featuring a two plate induction hob, hydro jet shower, and this:
Or how about this:
This is an elegant three story house located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Rome within walking distance to an open air market, a public square fountain, and him:
Not to mention this:
It’s a light-filled artist’s apartment only a stone’s throw from the Louvre in Paris, featuring high ceilings, antique windows, and hmm:
Or finally, this modest room inside a four-apartment building in Berlin:
It features a private entrance, sun-soaked balcony, and yeah:

July 24, 2013 at 10:13 pmWhile separated from my first wife, I tried dating an apartment. She was cheap, fit, and a little mysterious, with just a hint of danger. I signed the papers, picked up the keys, and moved in. From the start, it was clear this was to be a stormy romance. She had been single awhile and was not eager to share what little space she had. And she had this habit of showing me things her exes had left behind. A comb, some pocket change.To be honest, I wasn’t at my best either. I was drinking heavily and sometimes stayed out all night. There were fights. Sometimes she locked me out. By the time the lease was up we were barely speaking. A year after I moved out, I heard there’d been a fire. She’d survived but half the building burned. I went to see her once after that, but the door was locked. I took it as a sign and never went back.

July 24, 2013 at 10:54 pmI’ve just saved Paolo to my Future Husband list. Thank you. Around my neck of the woods, all of the elongated and stretched out photos are of males holding up fish. If they aren’t holding up fish, they’re holding up a 7-11 and taking a photo of themselves with their cell phone as they’re doing it.
It’s just awful.
Bossy, please **please** keep passing on more sites that feature actual husband material such as Paolo. And thank you in advance.

July 25, 2013 at 11:45 pmFrankly, traveling is a great antidote to the day to day exhaustion of heart breaking recovery. Or Deeevorce or unemployment or extra cash and an empty passport. Men emotionally unavailable and ssssighhhh just travel Bossy!

July 26, 2013 at 2:27 pmSo a European vacation? Or maybe looking for a permanent move over there? Whichever, please no dating web sites. Even if the TV commercials say you’ll get married.

July 27, 2013 at 8:15 pmAny of those beats anything you’ll find in Arizona, where your only option is a shirtless guy, only capable of having his picture taken in the bathroom mirror of his stucco studio with popcorn ceilings.

July 29, 2013 at 1:18 pmI still ponder why a man thinks a wifebeater will attract that “quality woman”. Ugh.
