When I was having lots of cybersex, I kept a notebook by my computer so I could jot down details about my cyber partners. I noted fantasies they liked, titles they mentioned, their real names if known. I tracked birthdays, significant events like the date we first cybered, age, marital status, time zones and political leanings.

I wouldn't do this during sex, of course, but during our interaction in the chat room -- often long before we hooked up in private, if we ever did. By the time I left, even Fonzie would have envied my little black book.

Girlfriend X, a new breed of "relationship management software," combines the tongue-in-cheek attitude of a Bud Lite commercial with an obsessively detailed personal information manager, offering the male version of the relationship quizzes and checklists often found in women's magazines.

In addition to storing each woman's contact information and picture, the Girlfriend profiles include a Score Card where you track her sexual preferences, her menstrual cycles and how she styles her pubic hair.

And directly from the program's website:

Imagine wearing one of those little wireless earphones like the Secret Service wear and having a full-time dating coach whisper hints on how to meet and keep that beautiful girl across the room.

Imagine having a full-time administrative assistant who regularly sends sweet messages and virtual flowers to all of your girlfriends, in your name, using e-mail and SMS.

Well... relationship management software. How about that? I don't even know where to begin.

I wouldn't be surprised if this sells well. One of the great "joys" of internet dating, as I have written before, is the ability to be a Don Juan with virtually an unlimited number of women. And now, to be able to get all the little details straight. Man... this is a gold mine.

Now women not only have to worry about a guy not being attentive enough, they have to worry about him being too attentive, lest his remarkable memory and thoughtfulness be the results of a computer program.
