I don't want to be rude but... Some Australians sound like they come from a farmhouse!

New Man Crush:  Mittal, Alex Mittal.

Listed on the Forbes 30 Under 30, Mittal seems super successful & has one of those lovely faces that  just makes you want to invest in whatever he's schilling. 

According to his website he's done all kindsa great stuff (like co-founding a VC platform, writing for Inc, etc) but as far as we're concerned, he's a super busy, hoverboard buyin', good lookin'  dude en route to London for Wired's Money Conference on 1 July.

Get in line, ladies.

I Tried The Tinder Dating App in India

This headline appeals not because Tindia is all new & exotic, but because the WSJ feels the need to modify it with 'dating app', just in case their readership aren't familiar the mystical 'Tinder'.

Even my sixty-something-year-old Dad knows it as 'Grindr for straight people'.

Two highlights:

1. The ‘quick lay app’ reputation seemed to work in Tinder’s favor, people are brutally honest about their intentions.

'Quick lay app'? I better update dad on his definition.

2. And blocking someone is really easy.

Otherwise it's all Tinder tinder tinder, arranged marriage, blah blah blah.

Best week ever. You too, right?

Cracking Tinder opener from a dude named Jon who I'm going to call Don as he works in advertising & I'm kinda hoping will be my Don Draper when we meet this week.

No pressure then.

At first I was all, 'eugh, actors be actor-ing', and then I saw JGL's hips and damn boy, you got my heartbeat runnin' away...

Beating like a drum and it's coming your way...

Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom boom, badoom, boom bass?

I can.

"Here's the craziest thing about last night... His body. It felt like home."

Ew. Today's video lol comes via Amy Schumer who has a one-night stand then spends the next day planning her life, while the guy sits naked with his helicopter. Take a look, ChitChatty Cathy thought it was LOL.

Otherwise head over to NPR Fresh Air & listen to Schumer talk sex with Terri Gross, where she questions "how slutty" she is. Says Lady Gross:

Sex as a subject for Schumer wasn't a conscious decision. She says she was always a sexual girl, but that as she grew older and came into her own, sex was simply the thing she was thinking about and talking about with her girlfriends.

Girl power,

My Big Fat TV Wedding to Some Guy I've Never Met Before

UK Reality TV sinks to a new low thanks to Channel 4's upcoming "Married at First Sight".

Three pairs of complete strangers will be chosen from a pool of more than 200 sad sacks, matched using big data slash 'scientific & sociological criteria', joined in a legally binding marriage and subsequently humiliated on national television. 

Camera crews will capture the couple's first six weeks of marital bliss, after which point they can either stay together, divorce, or re-assess their lives and question why they would ever agreed to a "groundbreaking social experiment" that is THEIR LIFE.  

Funnily enough: my uncle was involved in a similar social experiment back in the 70s. He & his wife were matched by a computer, wed in front of thousands of people and subsequently went on to have six children.

He was also IN A CULT. 

True story (that's not Unky Max, although he does look a little like the guy on the right).

Now... just how many more dates do I need to go on, before a wedding with a total stranger on reality tv sounds like a good idea?

Say! I like eggs & Jon Hamm!

I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!

And I would eat them in a boat.

And I would eat them with a goat.

Darren, 35.

Maybe make him watch Blackfish on a first date.

Left swipe.

ChitChatty Cathy recently uncovered Charlie Porter's brilliant blogpost rating what 100 men wear on Tinder. And what could've been a Snoopy-themed attempt at sartorial review is actually rather poetic:

90 odd swiped, and only three to the left.

We’re almost done.

Ah well.

But wait!

A nice lad in a nice sweater!

Martin, 32.

We <3 Rameet.

Our gal NerdCrush Nelly's not totally convinced by this look though, which saw him described by NY Mag as one of the 'Most Coachella-y People at Coachella'.

Says Nelly:

What a glorious beard. Althouuuuuugh... I'm not sure I'm feeling this look. Those pants are a little TOO cuffed.

It's like a man-capri.

Otherwise he's pretty awesome at giving business advice and looking good on streetstyle blogs (they still exist, right?). He's also speaking at Northside this summer on disruptive technologies & stuff at Fueled.

Brains, beard, [man] buns, bravo.
