Let's talk crushes. We love them and we hate them. They're exciting in the beginning, "Oooh I have butterflies! I wonder if he likes me too!" But if they last too long they can become exhausting. A crush really should be a temporary state, but it depends on long it takes you to admit it to yourself and finally to them.
Regardless, one thing is clear, whether they last one whole day or one whole century, crushes can be so embarrassing!
The art of attracting a woman can be a very precarious feet. Women don't often give a lot away. However, there are no 'A for effort' trophies in the dating world. Just because a guy thinks that every girl wants his unsolicited d* pics, and he feels very proud after taking a full on photo-shoot and sending them to 10+ women, it doesn't mean that the girls will actually appreciate it. Spoiler alert: They never really will.
Reddit user u/baldskiisjesus asked the girls of Reddit to share things that guys do that they think is cool but is actually the opposite, and, as always, the ladies did NOT hold back.
Nothing is inherently sexual. Even the body parts we often associate with sexual activities. It is all about the connotations we actively place what we see around us. To you, a lamp is just a lamp, but to Tiffany, that lamp belongs in one place and one place only. And hey! That's what Tiffany's into and we should all be supportive of her journey.
Anywho, enjoy this list of people's turn-on's that they feel are too weird to share in public, but just weird enough to share on Reddit.
Let's be real. Whether you like it or not Valentine's day is coming up quickly. Yes, we're are in the midst of a global pandemic, but that doesn't mean you cannot make February 14th your B. Options may be limited, but there are still plenty of ways to go off and show Saint Valentine who's boss. Who needs a man when there are heart-shaped pizzas out there that can fill you up without unleashing their emotional baggage on you? Here are fourteen ways to thoroughly smash your first (and hopefully last) social distancing Valentine's day as the single queen that you are.
Remember when we used to go clubbing? Well, a good wing-woman could really make or break the experience. Some people are built for it, they've truly mastered the art of body language and subliminal messaging. The outside world is a wild place, but a good wing-woman can help you to navigate the wilderness with finesse. We all have different tactics, for better or for worse. Here are nine different kinds of wing-women, which one are you? Be honest.
*Trigger warning: this may remind you of your cringy middle school days. Although this is a safe space, everybody can admit to an awkward story or two from their cringy tween years. Such stories only add to your character development, right? Asking for a friend.
Reddit users shared their most awkward first kiss stories and they are sure to bring you back to the good old days. If you can top any of these I would love to hear it. Personally, my first kiss took place in a Hollister surrounded by uncomfortable high school sales associates and the store's signature overwhelming scent — did I forget to mention we counted down from three? Yes, it was extremely romantic.
When convincing my friends to take a leap of faith and pursue things with someone they think they might like, I try to push them by saying, "What's the worst that can happen? Either you break up or you get married. Those are the two options." But really, after further analysis, I can see now that there are really many MANY more directions a relationship can go in. I can think of 15 now, but until these apps manage to completely distort our dating experiences, and entirely hinder our ability to meet people ~organically~, well this is what I got for ya.
Dry shampoo has to be one of the best inventions of the 21st century. As an avid user of this miracle in a can, it has saved me many a hair wash on days where I didn't have the energy to be hygienic. Sometimes, it becomes an Olympic sport; how long can I get away with using dry shampoo before people start wondering if I'm homeless? If you, too, are a fan of dry shampoo and its miraculous ability to buy you another day without washing your hair, giving you insane volume at the same time, then you'll love these memes just as much as I did.
Nothing is inherently erotic, we all have different tastes. However, sometimes we will come across things in our everyday lives that make us go, "...hold up." If you ask Freud he might say it is due to something we experienced in our childhood. If you ask me I would say we've all just been cooped up in our homes for way too long. Enjoy some 100% innocent photos that might just not sit with you right.
The world might have come a long way in terms of gender equality, but it is by no means there yet. Gender imbalances and stereotypes show up in our everyday lives in such subtle ways that we often don't notice them. We have gendered toys thrown in our faces from a young age; pink everything for girls and blue everything for boys. Unfortunately, when society enforces such labels and puts boxes around genders, it only reinforces outdated and toxic ideas about femininity and masculinity. These objects are a case in point; they are gendered for no reason other than to sell them at an inflated price. Because god forbid, a boy used a pink tea bag.
The concept of pin-up girls — idealized painting or drawing of the female form designed for public display — was one of the key elements of 20th Century Americana. Most people are familiar with vintage images of women in bikinis or other skimpy clothing in various provocative poses, but few have been acquainted with these photoshopped versions. Welcome to the pin-up girls with a twist. And by twist, we mean with Robert Downey Jr.'s face. Yes, that's right, someone out there has spent time photoshopping his face onto classic pin-up girl's bodies, and we're not mad about it. We can only assume he would be if he saw them. Scroll through for some strange but funny eye-candy.
In case you didn't catch the first two segments of our new series, we've teamed up with the popular Instagram account, To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated. Together, we bring you a weekly collection of letters that women have written to the sorry excuses of men they dated. From the long term boyfriends to the one-or-two-date guys, these are the words of disappointment that women wish they could have said in person, for fear of them falling on deaf ears. Instead, they put them out to the universe (AKA, on Instagram), and maybe, just maybe, the guys will read them there, do some soul searching and change their ways. Unlikely though. Anyway, here are the latest letters for you to look through and chuckle at, and here are last week's just in case you missed them.
We've teamed up with the popular Instagram account, To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated, who publish funny and real letters of disappointment from girls to their "exes." Together, we bring you a weekly collection of messages women have submitted about the freak-shows they dated, expressing all the things they wish they could have said to them. From the guys who take your virginity and don't call you back, to the creeps who flirt with your mom, men find new and creative ways to disappoint each time. Scroll through this week's hilarious letters and then check out last week's, just in case you missed them.
The world of dating can be fun and entertaining, but sometimes, it also kind of sucks. We've all been excited over a guy who seemed (almost) perfect on paper, but who ended up being a massive letdown in reality. Whether it's the a**hole who tries convincing you to have a threesome with him and his wife or the guy with offensive table manners, the result is always the same—crushing disappointment. Wouldn't it be great if, instead of sending the standard, "lovely meeting you, but it's not going to work out" text, you could pen a brutally candid, scathing message, telling him exactly what you thought of him? Because honesty is the best type of closure, amirite?
Well now, you can— sort of. We've teamed up with the popular Instagram account, To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated, who publish funny and real letters of disappointment from girls to their "exes." Together, we will bring you a weekly haul of all the ugly truths that women wish they could have said to the losers they were in relationships with or briefly dated. And who knows; maybe one of those guys will spot their name, read the letters and learn from their mistakes. But probably not.
Having a crush can be a beautiful thing - if they like you back. But if the object of your affection doesn't return the love, you can be left with crushing disappointment, a blow to your ego, and possible heartbreak. Rejection is a difficult, albeit inevitable pill to swallow in life, but especially when it comes to dating. The trick is to know when you've been served that pill and how to walk away gracefully. Otherwise, you look like a desperate creep. A Reddit thread has asked guys for the moments that made them realize, "this girl is definitely not into me," and the responses are painful to read. I'm not sure whether all these girls are nasty individuals, or the guys didn't get previous hints to back off, resulting in drastic rejection measures. What do you think?
