Lots of options for Thursday night partiers. I especially recommend the cocktail tasting party at Flip Flops, 1111 Broadway. It's 5-9 p.m. For $20, you can sample more than 30 drinks. Food is included, too.
There's also a martini tasting at Belloo's, 900 Front Ave. You'll sample five mini martinis. It lasts all night and costs $20 for individuals, $35 for couples. Steve McRay entertains.
Other Thursday parties:
• Lynam, 9 p.m. Shanty Shack, free. 706-507-3418.
• Stereomonster, Unsung, Ethos, 8 p.m. The Roadhouse, free. $1.50 PBR.
• Player Kommander, 10 p.m. SoHo Bar & Grill, $5 (free for military). 706-568-3316.

cuddle wars
Want proof the relationship gods hate us? Let me direct you to the twisted world of cuddling.
In this advice piece, relationship experts Em and Lo ask guys if an aversion to cuddling means someone's not into you.
Rarely are couples on the same level when it comes to their cuddling needs. When you're craving a morning of gentle caresses, your partner is on a desperate mission to snag an Egg McMuffin before the 10:30 a.m. cutoff.
When you're craving a night of uninterrupted rest, your partner is sleeping close enough to drown you in her sleep drool.
Satiating your appetite for cuddling can be difficult -- which is why many people have opted for Cuddle Parties, non-sexual nationwide events where people just, um, cuddle. There's even an official Web site -- but sorry, Georgia cuddlers, the closest party for us in Montgomery, Ala.
Cuddle Parties might work for some people, but you only get so much satisfaction from letting a complete stranger wrap his arms around you.
And that value seriously decreases if there's body odor involved.

cocktail tasting tonight!
Want to start the weekend early? Sample more than 30 drinks at the Thursday night cocktail tasting party at Flip Flops, 1111 Broadway.
It's 5-9 p.m. A $20 admission fee includes food.
I went to the first tasting party at Flip Flops and I think it's one of best events offered on the local nightlife scene. There's a cool, relaxed atmosphere and you easily get your money's worth.
The drinks are super creative -- I liked everything I tried -- and last time the food spread included wings, chicken fingers, mini sandwiches and more. Awesome.
Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

or else
Check out this AP article about how Kenyan women are initiating a sex strike to end violence in their country.
And you thought the "sex strike" threat was reserved for intercepting the TV remote in time for "Gossip Girl."
Maybe the concept is easier to digest when there's brutal African infighting involved. Oh yeah, the fact that Kenyan law allows polygamy probably helps, too.
That said...in cases when you're not trying to make a global civil rights statement...
Is it ever OK to use sex -- or lack thereof -- as a bargaining card in a committed relationship?

probation period
Happy Hump Day, everybody! Everyone's talking about Obama's first 100 days in office -- but what happens during the first 100 days of a new relationship?
This AJC blogger describes the tendency to regard the first three months of a relationship as an "observe and report" phase.
Under that mindset, the scenario is similar to performing your due diligence after making an offer on a new home. You're not obligated to enter a serious relationship, but you've expressed a desire to move forward.
So you spend the early days examining the ins and outs of your partner of choice. It's a probation period that explains why guys like Steve Harvey say you should wait three months before gettin' busy.
Do you apply a "probation period" to the early stages of your relationships?
