We guys are pretty lazy, which is why we sometimes forget to pick up a bouquet of flowers when it isn't our girlfriend's birthday, or to Google our lady friends and find out if they're wanted in six states before agreeing to marry them on the second date.

Thankfully, technology is coming to the rescue in the form of a trio of iPhone applications to help the prowling conquistador scope out his dates, boast about his conquests and remember what color his girlfriend's eyes are.



First, check out the DateCheck app from Intelius, which boasts functions that use her basic stats to determine your potential partner's level of sleaze, compatibility with you, and possible living situations, which might help you avoid getting beaten up by her current boyfriend. Of course, she can turn the tables by punching in your info and discovering your net worth, not to that your "penthouse" at 347A Park Avenue is the exact location of your mom's basement.

Another beta app that's soon to take the geek squads by storm is a scuzzy release from PinkVisual. They boast their new download will "augment an age-old tradition of boasting about one's sexual conquests," thanks to its intuitive FapMapper (as in "mapping your penile-fapping") system, which allows users to pinpoint locations of their dirty deeds on an online map of the local area.

Despite our lumping it together with these two other ridiculous apps, The Girlfriend Keeper is actually useful for keeping and maintaining relationships. Based on the details you provide it about your significant other, this Apple Store oddity sends automated texts and/or e-mail compliments on a frequency you can tweak based on your relationship status. While it strangely insists on using a woman's eye color in every message it sends (example: "Diana, Your birthday is in 136 days, maybe I will get you something green like your eyes. -Evan"), the Keeper is just that -- a keeper.

Don't have an iPhone? Good luck dying alone, we guess.
