Look around your apartment. Are there at least 3 random cats lounging around, plotting to kill you in your sleep? Do these cats have strange names like Mr. Winkles, Marisa Cooper, and Tinkersmell? Do you work at an animal shelter, by any chance? Have your vagina been bone dry for the past year? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be in danger of becoming a cat lady. No fear ... More...

Relationship Spotting: Is Pinterest Encouraging Women To Be Doormats?

Every time I go on Pinterest, I gag at all the overly sentimental, flowery love images they ram down our throats. There are so many overly emotional messages there that say things like: “I’m not as strong as I pretend to be” or “Im the kind of girl who tells the cops I ran into my boyfriend’s fist because I am a Southern girl”. I understand that these little quote... More...

How to Guarantee You Will Never Get a Boyfriend

While trolling online looking for random naked photos of Dave Franco, I ran across this little image, and couldn’t help but comment. This is possibly the worst advice you could ever give a girl, or anyone for that matter. I know it’s not #1 on everyone’s priority list, but we can all admit that its nice to have a guy around. If you follow this advice, that will most certainly never... More...

Ever notice that when you dine at chain restaurants, you often see an abundance of silent, unhappy looking couples on dates? You know, the ones where the girl is wearing a spaghetti strap tanktop from JC Penney pre-brand reinvention, and the guy is always in a t-shirt and shorts – maybe even cut-off jean shorts? Well, my theory is that the date venue is (mostly) to blame. I recently found... More...

Awful Dating Advice of the Day: Do Whatever (You Think) He Wants (You) to Do
What’s the weirdest part about this first-date suggestion?
Magazines are not typically bastions of enlightenment. But most of the time, their dating advice is way too general to make a fuss over. The tips are fun to read, if not always completely useful. I think of them as a semi-sensible map that can’t quite get me to my destination but will nonetheless provide some lighting for my trip. Something like the crazy aunt/uncle of spiritual guides. But t... More...

Girl, You’re Full of Normal Talk
Hey lady, lay off the normal.
YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS, IT’S ALMOST VALENTINE’S DAY, DID YOU KNOW THAT?!?!?!?! Sorry. Just had to get that out of the way. But with big V-Day coming up next week, I thought it’d be a good day to chat about the word “normal”. It seems like the normal thing to do, since February 14 is a day to celebrate love, and no other word sucks the fun out of love like the word ̶... More...

How to Upgrade Your Dating Attitude
Sad clowns are no fun for anyone.
Everyone gets down in the dating dumps from time to time. It’s a natural side effect of the single life. Everyone goes through it. And despite how sucky it feels, it’s generally ok. But there’s a line at which ordinary blues becomes long-term self-loathing. The switch can happen at anytime but will devolve quickly whenever online date requests are running dry, and you suddenly inter... More...

Just Say No to Texts that Say “Hey”
I vote for full, intensive rehabilitation courses for these textual offenders. And if they’re found to be violating their probation, they’ll be excommunicated to an island of other “Hey” texters.
The state of the text message is in despair. Every day, millions of people receive vague, misguided, and irresponsible texts. These texts can lead to frustration and anger in the recipient, as well as unjustified analysis, hair-pulling, and general confusion. Sometimes, they can even cause the recipient to lash out against their phone. While a frightening majority of daily texts fit this bill,... More...

How To Do Everything Wrong: Meeting Your Ex
Sometimes the wrong thing to do is the right.
Invitation: Accept his invitation to meet in a calm, nonchalant manner, but undergo internal dilemmas over the possibly hidden implications of his request. Wonder if he wants to get back together. Dissect his text/phone call/email over drinks with friends. Pay extra close attention to the number and use of exclamation marks. Let friends make wild assumptions without questioning them. Wonder if yo... More...

How to bring a guy home for the holidays
Bringing a guy home for the holidays doesn’t have to be the fiasco it is in movies or in your head. All you really need is a fat helping of understanding toward all parties involved, and good humor never hurts either. Here are some simple ways you can stay safe – and together at the end of this holiday bizness.
image via It’s a moment every couple simultaneously dreads and looks forward to: Meeting the Family. For a million reasons, it’s a nerve-wracking and intimidating event, full of implications and Law-and-Order-style questioning from at least one side of the table. And the standard of play is even higher when it happens over the holidays. But bringing a guy home for the holidays doesn... More...
