Firstly lets talk about the man, or at least the man in my head, created by maybe ten to fifteen interactions with him.  The word that comes to mind is gentleman. He is a quiet, caring man who has an immense warmth...

#SeaSocialMen – The Seattle Social Media Man can now stand tall!
For some time I have attended tweet-ups and other social events and seen gangs of fashionable, knowledgeable and connected gals laughing and giggling their way around venues.  With a glass of wine (or champagne) in hand and adorned in the latest fashions, they have flaunted their friendships in front of us men as we stand, shoulders slumped, waiting in one's and two's for them to...
