Awkward

Introducing someone to the family is a big deal. Sometimes they don't approve of your friends, they just don't vibe with them and it's incredibly awkward when you want to have people over. But other times it can be the opposite issue. Our families usually are most loyal to us, but they can certainly get attached to our friends and significant others as well, and when those people betray you and you want to drop them from your life... Let's just say it gets messy.

They say that aphrodisiacs come in all shapes and sizes. A lot of them are random foods like artichokes, asparagus, chocolate, figs, oysters, etc. Apparently has something to do with the chemical properties that make them up, we don't know, we're not scientists. What we do know is that there are a lot of seemingly innocent things that turn people on for no good reason. Some of these may be strange, but hey, at least they're not hurting anyone.

Everybody has their own hygienic routine, and it's not really fair to judge someone's just because it doesn't match your own. Obviously there are minimal standards, but then again, not everyone has the same access to hygienic facilities so it's probably best to not assume anything. This works vice versa as well, people who take hour-long showers should really consider their water usage. What are they doing in there for a whole hour anyway? Like we said, it's not good to judge, but It's hard not to get suspicious when someone could easily spend a good portion of their day in the restroom.

Even though you're blood-related, it's not always guaranteed that you'll be tight with your family. Sure you probably have some stuff in common, but it doesn't mean you'll all be best friends or even acquaintances for that matter. Let's be real, we all have some relatives we don't vibe with, and that just don't understand us in the slightest. Everyone has that crazy aunt, or uncle, or in-law, it's basically guaranteed. All you can do is remind yourself that they're the messed up one, and not you — unless it actually is you.

It's can be to not idolize big celebrities and obsess over certain brands. Sometimes they can be so damn talented and lovable. But you can't help but get a little disappointed when you realize they're not actually all that relatable. Some people have been famous for so long that they become irreversibly removed from regular society, and there's will just be very instances where you look at their Tweets and go, "Omg, me." That's showbiz baby.

Rejection is a hard pill for anyone to swallow, but it is an inevitable part of the dating game. It helps to have a thick skin and a lot of resilience to keep putting yourself out there and accept that not everyone will like you. The key to rejection is taking it gracefully, wishing the other person all the best, and moving on. But unfortunately, not everyone can do that; some people react horribly to rejection and lash out at the person who rejected them. Together with The Single Society, we bring you 14 times men reacted terribly to rejection, and they are truly shocking. Scroll through and be amazed (or not) at the fragility of these male egos!

Ladies, the men have figured us out! Apparently, they already realized that every single thing we do, every decision we make, and every place we go to... Well, it's all a part of our secret communal plan to attract as much male attention as possible. How did they figure it out so quickly? What are we supposed to do now? Time for an emergency group meeting.

But seriously, women are sharing on Reddit some of the crazy things they've been accused of doing solely to attract male attention, and it really seems like any behavior can be interpreted as just that... Oh well.

Ahhh wedding season! Wedding season is a magical time of year where we can all witness our closest friends and family profess their undying love for their significant other for all the world to see. But more importantly, wedding season is a time to eat a shit ton of free food and get completely shit-faced at an open bar and- if you're lucky - have a drunken wedding hookup. This Sexcapade story is of a wedding guest who was having some innocent adult fun when she found herself in a rather sticky situation. 

If there's a group of people who do 'awkward' best, it's dads. There must be something written into their DNA that says, "embarrass my kids at all costs," because they succeed every time. These awkward family pictures prove how well dads do 'awkward,' and by the looks of it, how proud they are to have this talent.

Every couple with children lands on some kind of system to share the labor. Sometimes people switch or days, or months, or they agree to have one person take on the housework while the other focuses on supporting the family financially. There is no perfect recipe for a happy family or marriage, but the important thing is that everyone feels valued and not like they're being taken for granted. There's not a single thing wrong with taking on the role of a stay-at-home mom, but it is wrong to be pushed into that position and then resented by your partner for 'having it easier,' as if managing a household is not a 24/7 occupation.

Like we said, find the balance that works for you, but make sure all parties understand why it's 'balanced.'

Everyone knows and can relate to the anxiety caused by sending a text to the wrong person. Whether it's to your boss, an ex-boyfriend, or sending a text about someone to that person by mistake, these slip-ups can cause a mini heart attack each time. But perhaps the worst is when you send a text to your parents containing some sort of sexually explicit message that was clearly meant for someone else. The stress that causes, is another level, and reading through these texts can give you a taste of just how bad some kids have put their foot in it. 

It seems funny to think that a lot of girls used to feel uncomfortable or ashamed of doing 'girly' things. Even though there really shouldn't be things labeled as feminine or non-feminine, it has become increasingly clear throughout the generations that anything girls like somehow have to be lame, and therefore it's much 'cooler' if a girl is 'different' and likes more traditionally masculine things. Yep, both boys and girls get bullied for being feminine, isn't that fun? And people still think we have achieved full social equality.

Mansplainers never fail to amaze us. Their diligence is honestly inspiring. If they put the same amount of effort into something a bit more selfless, like charity work, imagine the things they could accomplish? Alas, they prefer to spend their time bothering innocent people with their unsolicited opinion. At least Twitter keeps them accountable these days. Mansplainers beware, Twitter users are not afraid to roast tf out of you.

No one tells the truth 100% of the time; it's impossible. Oh, you do, we heard you say? Well then... there's another lie! Truth is a relative concept (sort of) because sometimes we need to tell a white lie here and there to make life a little less awkward. And if there are traces of the truth in the lie, then it's not that bad. Maybe. Sort of. To make you feel better about all the white lies you tell, here are some of the funniest and most creative ones other people have tried to get away with. We give them a ten out of ten for creativity!

We all have different tastes, and it's all a-ok. If we all had the same food preferences, types, fetishes, well, life would be quite competitive and even more boring. Variety is the spice of life, and it's what sets us apartas humans. So, if you find yourself liking something that most people hate or vice versa, you should relish the fact that you're definitely not the only one. Unless you were trying to be unique... But that's overrated anyway.
