Meet Market Going once, going twice: Win a date with one of Charlotte's most eligible bachelors
Posted By Laura Camilo on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 9:13 AM
"There just aren't any men in Charlotte!" I've whined to my almost exclusively coupled up circle of friends, as they nod in mock sympathy. Clearly, I need to find a new brood of single ladies to commiserate with.
Birds of a perennially single feather such as myself would be wise to flock to the Deltas of Charlotte Foundation Bachelor Auction.
The event includes a Silent and Live Auction. During the Silent Auction, bidders can select from an assortment of items such as themed baskets, artwork or jewelry. But it's the Live Auction that's likely to keep us on our toes.
During the Live Auction, ladies have the opportunity to bid on a date with one of Charlotte's eligible bachelors, ranging in age from 25 to 65. DOCF promises a "someone for everyone" selection of gentlemen, with plenty of diversity in culture, careers and personality. The bid also includes a package consisting of various items such as gift certificates for dinner for two, spa services, and a variety of activities. The proceeds will support scholarships for college-bound women and to DOCF's mentorship programs, Delta Academy and Delta G.E.M.S.
You can mingle with your new beau at the Official Bachelor Auction after-party, at Blue Restaurant.
DOCF suggests interested parties buy their tickets ASAP, as a sold-out event is likely.
$25. Saturday, May 5. 6 p.m. McGlohon Theatre, 345 N. College St.

Meet Market When the strippers come marching in
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 12:33 AM
Charlotte, you're wonderful. So what the Panther didn't make it to the Super Bowl. This city still knew how to party. Since I didn't care who won the big game, however, here is an obligatory Who DAT, I decided to check out some of the strip clubs that had Super Bowl parties.
First stop, Club Onyx.
What was lovely about this party was the price. Free before 8 p.m. Let's call Onyx the pregame stop.
Next stop was Uptown Cabaret. This place knew what people came for and it wasn't the snooze fest called Super Bowl Halftime starring the Who. The volume went down, and the entertainers did their thing.
Final stop was The Men's Club, which I am convinced is Charlotte's best sports bar. The Men's Club has the best sights — whether you want to watch the game or the dancers. And the foot was great.
So next year if your team doesn't make the Super Bowl, don't fret. Don't sit at home or go to your annoying friend's house to munch on horrible food. Go to a Charlotte strip club and watch the game and get a lap dance.

Meet Market / Lustworthy / Video When it's over: How to spot the warning signs
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 12:19 PM
So, your relationship has changed and not for the better.
Sorry, Charlie, you're about to get dumped.
If you take heed to the warning signs, especially these offered by the good people at Your Tango, you can make the most of the end of your relationship.
Since you and your mate are about to break up, why not talk your other half into doing that sex thing you've always been afraid to ask him or her to do. This might even save your relationship, because one of the signs of the end of your relationship is:
Breakup Warning Sign #4: The level of physical intimacy has dropped to an all-time lowWhen your partner takes "physical distancing" to the next level, you will notice that the loving physical contact (cuddling, massages, foreplay, etc.) has almost disappeared completely. I firmly believe that the level of intimacy in your relationship says a lot about the strength of your romantic connection. Loving physical contact is one of the most powerful ways of connecting with someone and when it starts to vanish from a relationship, it acts like a crack in the ceiling that allows the rain to start coming through.
I'd also like to point out that it's quite normal for your bedroom routine to vary over time due to numerous factors, but if you find that your man has stopped making advances altogether, this is usually a sign that there is something seriously wrong in the relationship. It's even worse when he resists of all of your advances, as well.
Shying away from physical contact is a tactic frequently used by women to maintain a level of power in the relationship. But when men do this, it's usually because they are losing interest or have someone else on the side.
But when you notice the signs of a break up, is it best to heed them and end the relationship or do you fight for your love?
I say, cut your losses and move on. Bonnie Raitt said it best, I can't make you love me.

Meet Market / Pep in your step / Cheap Date Take a trip to Argentina, in Concord
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 10:49 AM
The Diversity Den, located at 160 Concord Commons Drive, wants you to dance the Argentine Tango.
Every Tuesday night, dancers and wanna be dancers come together and learn the tango from instructor Greg Gershowitz.
So, what is the Argentine Tango?
Well, it's not hiking the Appalachian Trail -- Mark Sanford.
It's more of a social dance than the regular tango.
According to Wikipedia:
Argentine tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between. Close embrace is often associated with the more traditional styles, while open embrace leaves room for many of the embellishments and figures that are associated with tango nuevo.
And that makes this dance sexy and great way to feel up on your partner without getting slapped. At the Diversity Den, you don't need a dance partner, so if you're looking for a bit of a summer romance, here's your chance to meet someone new.
And if you and your mate are tired of the same old dates -- you know, dinner, movie and bedroom -- then here's something new and exciting to try.
