This stud plays competitive indoor and beach...

Meet ShSi. She’s the smokin’ babe who works as the Chicago editor, writer, and cool-stuff-finder for a well-known fashion and lifestyle publication, which means this girl knows what’s up and what’s in.

Two Dates!
One of my DMF singles who wishes to remain anonymous sent me this email today!
Just to give you some encouragement, X and I are meeting up this week and one of my friends, who saw your post on my Facebook wall, decided to ask me out. I guess he had been wanting to for a while… so thank you! I got dates!
Woohoo! Congrats! Keep us posted!

Meet JaNi. He’s a designer and animator for tv and commercials. When he’s not working, JaNi is playing in his synth-pop band, cutting a rug at Danny’s, or enjoying a fancy cocktail at Aviary, Violet Hour, or at his home bar—yes, he has a home bar with an assortment of bitters! Obviously, JaNi is all about life’s finer details.
You’ll love JaNi because...

Meet DaAn. He’s one of those rare breeds of straight men that’s cool AND employed! His background is in art and he’s currently an IT guy for an ad agency company. But don’t mistake this guy for a wimpy tech nerd—he’s a big Chicago sports fan (sans White Sox!) and can frequently be found playing basketball or volleyball. When he’s not at work or on the court, DaAn keeps it classy places...

Meet RoGa. He loves to cook. He loves to eat. Actually, he mostly loves eating. RoGa writes short stories. He also collects paintings of sailing ships and mens vintage dress shoes. When he’s not chatting with dogs and making fun of cats (because he’s allergic to them—“it’s me, not them”), you can find him wishing the most random things for himself...
