One night stand!
While many of us are looking for that special someone to spend our lives with, the single life dictates that sometimes the opportunity for companionship presents itself in the form of a one-night stand. While a one-time roll in the hay is not exactly emotionally fulfilling, sex in any form can be relaxing, enjoyable, and fun.
So you are a swinging single and you have had a one-night stand. What is the etiquette for establishing boundaries, calling the day after and getting out without hurting feelings? Who should be responsible for establishing the boundaries the men or the women? Is spending the night off limits? What if you get invited? Is it easier to establish boundaries if you meet the person online?

Comments (469)When Do Work Functions go wrong?
I was out on a work function last Friday night and after one too many drinks I started talking to a guy that works in my industry. Soon enough, he was telling me how he wanted to jump into the harbour, next to Luna Park, and go for a swim. For a second I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol talking or if he really meant what he said (after all I had only met him once before this event). I wasn't doing all so well myself so I told him I had done it once a couple of years ago (something that I probably wouldn't have mentioned if I was sober) so he suggested that I go with him. I thought about it for a while, but then decided if I wanted to keep working for my company or get a job anywhere in my industry, that it was probably not a good idea. In the end, I didn't go and immediately stopped drinking. Even though I had done it once before, much to my embarrassment, it wasn't a work function. However, I know many people who have done some very embarrassing things on their work events, which brings me to my current question:
"Where do work functions go wrong?"
What is the most embarrassing thing you have done on a work function? What about an RSVP function? Did everyone remember it? Did you get in trouble for doing it?

Comments (72)Want a husband? Get a degree.
Women with degrees are more likely to marry than their less educated sisters, in a dramatic reversal of an established pattern according to the SMH and new analysis of the 2006 census.
In 1996 women without university degrees had higher marriage rates. But within a decade it was no longer the case. By 2006, 61 per cent of women aged 30 to 34 who had degrees were married, compared with 53 per cent of those without post-school qualifications.
Do you think that more educated women have more chances to get married or this is simply a coincidence? What about men? How important is a degree in a relationship? Is education more important the beauty or is it the other way around? Is education something that you pay attention when looking at a profile on RSVP?

Comments (427)Listen up guys and girls!
GUYS!
You have seen her online. Her profile attracts you. There is something very special about her that intrigues you. You would love to know more about her. An you are blown away by that photo! You would really like to build this relationship to the point of a first face-to-face encounter... and maybe beyond.
But does she want the same thing? How can you hold her interest, keep the dialog going, and encourage her to agree to a first date?
GIRLS!
So this profile is a perfect match with your! You have a lot in common, and you have exchanged some nice emails. You would like to take this to the next step - but what is the next step, and how do you move forward?

Comments (645)What Do Men and Women Want?
The famous battle of the sexes, will anyone ever understand what the opposite sex want... understanding and knowing are two different things. Both men and women are so different, yet when you have the head's up on what he's/ she's looking for, part of the battle will be just a little easier.
Even relationship experts can't pinpoint every facet of the needs or wants of the sexes. Members of RSVP grew up on different generations with different concepts of what they want or what they should want from a relationship.
So what do men and women are looking for in a new partner and in a relationship? Is it values, is it looks, is it love?
