It all started with a minor car accident. As you may have already heard, Tiger Woods, the highest paid athlete in America, crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant. However, that was just the start of his problems.

Over the last few days, tabloids from around the world reported that Woods had been having affairs with 3 different women from Las Vegas to LA, unbeknownst to his wife of 5 years. Despite his’ publicist’s best attempts to keep the story under wraps, it gets worse. Each of these alleged mistresses brought their voicemails and text messages from the golf pro to the press, some of which were overtly sexual or extremely nervous.

One of the most talented and celebrated athletes of our time is being dragged through the mud as nothing more than a cheater and it’s painful to watch. I’m not saying I know who is to blame in this situation but, it is true that marriage is the leading cause of infidelity and ultimately, divorce.

The bad press from all this could potentially lead to Woods being dropped by his huge sponsors and, not to mention, an expensive alimony payment if the couple do get divorced. What can I tell you, Tiger? Never promise marriage just to get a date.

Keeping up with BCU’s reputation for investigative journalism of the highest caliber, it has been brought to our attention that some online companies have been utilizing some less than honest business practices. Techcrunch.com recently released a list of companies that have been found to use post transaction marketing schemes to scam customers. We were shocked to find eHarmony on that list.

What is post transaction marketing? Essentially, it’s when a company pretends to offer a cash back offer after a purchase has been made. Without reading the fine print, a customer may sign up for what they believe is cash back on their purchase but, in reality they’ve signed up for an often useless service that bills them monthly. Many times, the customer won’t realize it until they’ve already been billed for a few months.

So what’s the moral of the story? Always read the fine print to protect yourself from online scams.

Students at UCLA went postal after it was announced that College fees would be increased by a whopping 32%. According to USnews.com, angry students completely occupied a campus building on protest. 14 students have reportedly been arrested while reports of students being tazered by riot police have been pouring in. The financial troubles of the Golden State have been widely publicized and these may not be the last of tuition hikes that we will see on college campuses all over California.

Here at OBC, we love cougars. So, of course we were excited when we heard about a Carnival cruise ship full of hot, single cougars. In case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what a cougar is, let the professor lay down some knowledge for you.

According to NBC San Diego, the 3-day cruise departs from San Diego on Dec. 4. You can be sure that we’ll be updating with more details regarding this “Cougar Cruise.”

Stay tuned!

Last week, I received this question from an OBC damsel in distress:

Dear Professor,

I met a studly guy here on OBC, but sadly, he is going away to Iraq next month. Do you have any tips to make this long distance booty call work?

Dear long distance BootyCall,

We all know that long distance relationships, whether they are between friends, lovers, or bootycallers, can be difficult to manage, but don’t trip! With OBC you can always keep things sexy, despite the distance. Be sure to support him by sending not only bootycall messages, but mix it up with some pictures as well. Soldiers appreciate having images, memories, they can fall back to during tough times. Plus, despite the distance, you’ll keep that booty attraction on slow burn, so when he gets back, you can turn up the heat and get that sizzle goin.

– The Professor –

One night I was leaving the club and some drunk guy walked up to me and said, “CSI Miami asshole” and then walked off. I just scratched my head in confusion and just kept going. The next day I find out that Adam Rodriguez from CSI Miami (see picture below) was at the same club on the same night I was there. Then it hit me that the drunk guy must have confused me for the CSI dude (he must have been really drunk cause I look nothing like him).

Anyway, the other night I was out with a friend for her company holiday party. She ran into some friends and introduced me. One of the guys said, “Hey you look familiar.” I thought to myself, “He better not say CSI Miami guy.” After a few moments of thinking he said, “I know! I know! You’re the guy from OBC!” I started laughing because that was the last thing I expected him to say.

I have to admit that it was nice being correctly identified and not confused with some celebrity. Now that I think of it, OBC does have 2 million members now so it was bound to happen sometime.

Well, just thought I’d share that with you. Feel free to comment or share your celebrity-look-alike stories if you’ve experienced anything similar. Maybe you’ve even had someone come up to you in the club and say “Hey you’re BIGBOOTYSUE from OBC huh?” LOL

One of the things I do at OBC is oversee our support department. I’ve noticed that a lot of the questions that our members ask are questions that have actually been answered in our Help section. This led me to believe that we needed to overhaul this part of the site–so that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Please take a look at the Help section whenever you’re confused or have a question about anything here on the site. The Help link is located near the top of the page on the right hand side. And of course, if you don’t find your answer there, you can always send us a support request. Check it out and let us know what you think.

As founder of Online Booty Call and active member of numerous dating services, I’ve come to learn a great deal about the Do’s and Don’ts of online dating. My experience has made me one of those unofficial yet reassuring “authorities” of dating, so pay close attention because this advice will improve your chances of meeting singles online.

First, don’t promise marriage just to get a date, women love passion, but they don’t want you quoting romance novels in your first conversation. A simple compliment will suffice for starters. At OBC we embrace the casual mentality, and by keeping it casual, we help people make that first connection without the pressure of planning for eternity.

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts of online dating:

• 10. DO keep it simple and casual on the first date.
• 9. DON’T act too interested; it makes you look desperate and gives away the upper hand.
• 8. DO compliment her on her appearance. Subtle flattery with a humorous twist will ease you into her good graces.
• 7. DON’T hesitate to ask her out. Chances are if you’re not asking her out, someone else is, so be assertive and initiate the conversation.
• 6. DO act confident. Walk into the room like you own the place; confidence is a turn-on. If she’s feeling your vibes she’ll take the cues.
• 5. DON’T be cocky. Cockiness is corny and makes you look like a jerk.
• 4. DO offer to pay for the date, guys. Chivalry is not dead. Plus, offering to pay for the date conveys financial stability and good manners.
• 3. DO use protection. Always come properly equipped if you’re making a move for the bedroom, or even if you’re not. Who knows, you could get lucky!
• 2. DON’T look for dates that are out of your league. If you’re 50, overweight, and make 25K a year, chances are you won’t land a 23 year-old supermodel. Be realistic, if it seems like it’s too good to be true then it probably is.
• 1. DO play the game. Too many people write in their profiles that they’re not into playing games. The reality is everyone does it, especially online, so stay sharp player.

Online dating is a great way to meet new people and have some fun. But, it does take common sense and effort to make it work! Feel free to leave a comment and share your advice with us.

OBC went to Lake Havasu for spring break a couple years ago. By the time we left everyone heard about us and were either wearing an OBC T-shirt or using an OBC Condom. If you haven’t tried doing a Keg Stand in awhile — you’re missing out! Here are a few pics from the trip.

It seems that many of the girls that I’ve encountered in the past have told me the same thing; “I’m usually not like this, but…” Now, I’d like to believe that I’ve got some hypnotic power that makes girls drop their drawers but unfortunately I don’t. If I did, I wouldn’t have a profile on OBC. I could just go to the store and find a cute girl and start hittin’ it right there in the aisle. J/K.

But seriously, what I want to know is, why do you girls need to make an excuse if you want some? If you’re attracted to a guy or maybe you’re just really horny at the moment; why can’t you just be straight forward and say, “I need some action right now mothaf_cka!” LOL. Well, maybe not like that. But at least don’t feed him some tired line about how innocent you usually are. Because seriously, when I hear that–it makes me think, “I wonder how many guys she’s told that to.”

So guys, if you hear that line all the time, let me know what you think about it. And girls, if you or your friends are guilty of this, let me know your reasons.
