If Emily Post were alive today, she’d have to write a new volume on the etiquette of texting between the sexes, because guys don’t get it. Communication between all genders can be difficult enough in person, and adding this impersonal, vague, interpretive technological element definitely hasn’t helped. Texting can make or break a potential relationship…
If this isn’t the first relationship you’ve been in, you’ve probably seen the signs before. However, you don’t want to jump the gun in case your suspicion that a breakup is on the way is just your PMS talking. However, if this situation seems a little too familiar, you probably need to get real with…
For the past couple of months, I seem to be in a Twilight Zone in which pretty much every guy I set up a date with inevitably ends up bailing on me right before we meet up. What’s worse is that they all make the same weak ass excuses for canceling our plans when they…
I’ve always been attracted to feminine guys for as long as I can remember. There’s something about them that makes me feel all warm inside. While pretty much all straight women I know are looking for a burly lumberjack type, I’m after the complete opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever dated a stereotypically “masculine” man…

However, even though the language surrounding intimacy may…
I can’t stand it when guys play games with me, especially when it comes to texting. If I’m dating someone, I don’t think it’s too much to ask to be in regular contact. If he hasn’t texted me back in 24 hours but expects us to carry on as normal when he can finally be…
Is there a more pervasive stereotype nowadays than masculinity being associated with height? Why is it that shorter men are seen as less than? While there is no shortage of Short Kings who aren’t afraid or insecure — Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner spring to mind — there’s also a range of people that are…
When you hear the term “bed rotting,” it probably doesn’t conjure positive images. However, this wellness craze taking over Gen Z is one that people of all ages can learn from and benefit from. In essence, young people have coined the term to describe one of their favorite practices: laying in bed for much of…
Have you ever been asked why you were dating a guy who was clearly a total jerk? Maybe you felt embarrassed because knew the person asking you was right about him. That is, until your toxic guy called you up, desperate to see you, and charmed your pants off… literally. What gives? Why do toxic…
