The 4 Things I've learned About Men Via Tinder

As embarrassing as it is to admit, I'm slightly hooked on Tinder. It's not because I'm seeking out a one night fling, nor am I'm convinced that I'll meet Mr. Right. I'm hooked on Tinder because of the excitement that lies in the thrill of the game. Getting a match is an exhilarating confidence booster that hooks you on your first swipe. Your ego wonders just how many more will swipe right, and thus your addiction to Tinder begins...
Through this sick fixation of mine, I feel as though I've peeked inside the male mind. I've learned what men think women like, what men enjoy, and a few thing about men in general...

1. I've learned that catching a fish is a monumental male milestone. Whether you've caught yourself a 200 pound Marlin or a sickly baby carp, this defining moment of your manhood warrants a photo. I'll call you Ishmael or maybe Captain Ahab.



2. I've learned that men have great self esteem. A vast majority of you have at least one photo of your shirtless upper body. I'm pretty happy with what I've got, but there is no way a photo of me in a bikini will grace the likes of Tinder.  


3. Due to the mass amounts of photos of men waxing their cars, adjusting the sails, or modeling with their favorite vehicles, I'm led to believe that men love all modes of transportation.


4. I've learned that men use adventure and bravery to get right swipes. Wether your skydiving, bungee jumping, or doing backflips on skis, you've made sure to post a photo of your gallantry. Nothing says suitable suitor like the rush of adrenaline.

Denver Restaurant Review: Humboldt Farm.Fish.Wine

It's restaurant week here in Denver. If you are new to this awesome phenomenon, then here is the breakdown. A handful of restaurants throughout the Denver area create a three-course dinner menu for $52.80 (as the Mile High City, the price is based on the 5280 feet that make up a mile) per couple. It's a great way to find amazing new restaurants, or see what some of your favorite restaurants can whip up.

Last night we kicked off restaurant week at a new place in town, Humboldt Farm. Fish. Wine. It stands where Strings once stood, and offers a menu full of fresh local ingredients. Executive Chef DJ Nagle and Chef de Cuisine Kollin Gately, take American classics and give them a unique twist. Humboldt Farm. Fish. Wine. quickly made it's way to the top f my list.


We started out with the house favorite- Crispy Broccoli with Grana Padano and pepperoncini aioli 


And the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with a spicy truffle chili glaze. (They were to die for!)


The second corse was a choice of salmon, steak, chicken, or risotto. I chose the Scottish Salmon with Delicata squash, cauliflower puree, and a pomegranate reduction.


For desert, I chose the Humboldt Bread Pudding with vanilla gelato. Yummers.
