It’s 7 a.m. and you are walking back to your car in the same clothes you wore last night, make-up is smeared and the scent of sex and stale cologne linger on you. We have all experienced the dreaded walk-of-shame. My walks took place in college and were all due to the affair I have with my cell phone when I am intoxicated. I’ll admit it; I tend to drunk dial and text, but the older I get the more responsible I am with my intoxicated contact. While drunk dialing feels right at that exact moment, there are severe consequences to those actions and minimal benefits.

There is a double standard between men and women, particularly when it comes to grooming standards. They have invented everything under the sun to get rid of “unwanted facial or body hair” on women including shaving, waxing, electrolysis, “Smooth Away,” creams, ointments, lasering just to name a few.
Being single can be tough for some. Seeing your friends in relationships, or getting married, experiencing love and being wanted by someone for more than one night can take a toll on someone’s ego. Before my current relationship I was single for a long time. I tend to blame that period of my busy schedule and caught up in “life.” The other day I read some of my old journals and realized how miserable I was.
He is a Republican, she is a Democrat. He likes brand names and she likes second hand. He is an introvert and she is outgoing. Dating someone opposite of you in every way can work, but will it last?
There are three categories of men: the nice guys, the assholes and the mysterious. Women are usually attracted to the assholes, also known as douchebags; desire the mysterious; and always say they want a “nice guy.” If women claim to want a nice guy, then why can’t nice guys get dates?
We like to think that numbers do not matter. Women don’t judge their weight by the number of pounds but by how their clothes feel. Men are concerned with the number of inches hanging between their legs and the number of dollars in their bank account.
No matter how you look at it, rejection sucks. Getting turned down for a great job, being told you are just not right for this position/part/role and the hardest, I’m just not that into you, is awful. Being rejected can take a serious toll on one’s emotions, but it doesn’t always have to. If you have a fear of rejection, there are few ways to cope before and after the “incident.”
Romeo and Juliet, Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy, and now, Edward and Bella–all couples in fiction that personify love. I’m late to jump on the Twilight train, but after I finished the first two books of the saga in four days, there was clearly something keeping me hooked–and that something was romance. The first book dived head-first into Bella and Edward’s love. Although the books were written for a younger audience, anyone who gives the series a chance will appreciate the love story. Their relationship got me thinking, if people want to fall madly in love, we should take some dating advice from Edward and Bella.
If you had to lose a sense, which could you live without? I don’t have an answer, but I know I couldn’t live without touch. In love, sex, and relationships, touch conveys many things: a sense of security, passion, and sometimes commitment. Without touch, there would be no sex, and in my opinion, life without sex is a tragedy.
Cheating: to practice fraud or deceit; or informally to be sexually unfaithful.
Although this definition seems clear-cut, what constitutes cheating in a relationship is often ambiguous. For some, cheating includes intercourse but not oral sex. Some count French kissing but not closed mouth kisses. But what about holding hands or snuggling — physical acts that are more associated with emotional connections than physical acts of passion? To take it a step further, can you cheat without physically touching someone else? Is fantasizing about someone else during sex cheating? What about flirting online? Believe it or not, Wikipedia actually has a page for this subject, describing it as an affair of the heart.
