Judy McGuire is the author of How Not to Date (Sasquatch Books), and was the author of the funny sex and love advice column called “Dategirl” for Seattle Weekly. Though she doesn’t go in for anything more intoxicating than a couple beers, she spent four years working at High Times, and another three years in the field working as an ethnographer on an anthropological study of heroin use in NYC (translation: hung out with junkies and got paid for it).

She’s written for a variety of anthologies, magazines, and websites and can be found blogging at badadvice.typepad.com. She writes the weekly “Dating Don’ts” column for The Frisky.
