The other day, I attempted to zip up a dress while at home alone. Obviously, this is something I do all the time. But for some reason, this particular dress took forever to zip up. I figured it out eventually. But the entire time I thought to myself, "Damn. I wish my boyfriend were here right now."
Sometimes, being single is awesome. But sometimes, having a boyfriend comes with fringe benefits. Here are 10 reasons that I enjoy having a boyfriend, although I can't enjoy them as much as I like since my relationship is long-distance.
Note: Lots of these things can be done by a roommate/friend/me. I'm not saying I don't support the feminist movement, but sometimes I get lazy, you know?
10. Bracelet-clasper. Necklace-clasping might be more romantic, but bracelets are much harder to clasp on your own.
9. Occasional free meal. I pay sometimes, he pays sometimes. So sometimes, my food is free. And I'm in college, so free food is
BIG.
8. Tall-people benefits. As in, he changes my lightbulbs and hands me things from shelves I can't reach without a ladder. Hey, I'm short, OK?
7. Moving into a new apartment? I have an almost-free moving crew, courtesy of my guy, his friends, and some pizza and beer.
6. Permanent movie date. If my friends think it looks stupid, he's still obligated to go with me. And if it actually is boring, we can always make out in the back.
5. Friends need guy advice? He's always on call.
4. Valentine's Day is so much less depressing when you're happily coupled up.
3. Self-esteem builder. My hair won't stay in place and I'm having a fat day, but having a boyfriend is proof that I'm not completely repulsive to the entire male population.
2. Easy-access sex. Enough said.
1. Love. Because every girl dreams of her own fairy-tale, and maybe this relationship will be mine.

I like having someone to care about, and knowing that it's mutual.
long distance? PLEASE write an article on that!
Disgusting.
If a man wrote an article like this about how he likes having a girlfriend so he has someone to do the dishes and laundry and unlimited blowjobs, you'd throw a fucking fit. Your boyfriend is a profoundly unlucky man.
Nice trolling. Should probably go to misc and learn a few lessons though :)
10 you
9 you
8 you
7 football season soon
6 you
5 you
4 you
3 seriously, are y'all ready for some football?
2 you
1 I'm horny, yes, but...you.
as long as for him the relationship is defined by equally utilitarian motives it's all fine.
I'm not even being sarcastic I think most people approach relationship that way.
have money, look good, be good in bed, learn to say the right things in a textbook...don't imagine you are entitled to have feelings, needs or flaws.
What does any of this or being lazy have to do with the feminist movement?
I rarely come on to datingish because of posts like this. Thank you for perpetuating the personality of Jen. You are like, 15, right? Or trying to right for stupid 15 year olds? Come on. Just learn your audience a little bit. Maybe put in a TAD BIT of effort. OH! And if you write a post on why having a boyfriend is awesome, try thinking about things that ARE NOT completely selfish, self absorbed and self centered. You make girls like you look terrible.
Oh come on, if your boyfriend wrote a list saying he liked having a girlfriend because he got unlimited blowjobs and had someone to do his laundry all the time, you'd be beyond pissed.
@GodlessLiberal@xanga - Don't think it was that bad...If she will do the dishes and give unlimited blowjobs....small price to pay...this
This must be trolling week on Datingish.
lol. people need to get a fucking sense of humor. i'm pretty sure this was intended to be a superficial, stupid list for fun. though incidentally, i've been thinking for the last couple weeks that maybe i'll write an article entitled "25 reasons why i don't believe in relationships". and yes, i'm pretty sure i could come up with that many reasons.
@GodlessLiberal@xanga - hahaha so i'm on the shitter as i read this post/write this comment, and for some reason your comment made me burst out laughing right as i was pinching off a log. it was a little painful.
@IntoTheWind1@xanga - andrew luck all the way, baby.
@PocketfulOfDreams@xanga - oh good, so you will agree with me for at least one of the reasons on my aforementioned list :)
@IntoTheWind1@xanga - You're still being an asshole towards people huh? What you think it makes you look cool or something? I don't particularly agree with this post, but here's a newsflash. Listen carefully.
YOU CAN GET YOUR POINT ACROSS, AND NOT BE SO RUDE.What you didn't learn your lesson when you told me to go off myself?
Still claiming Christianity?
additional thought: if you can clasp your own bra, you can clasp your own bracelet and zip your own dress.
on a related note, i still don't know how to take off a bra, so i just usually ask the girl to take it off herself before i embarrass myself.
Someone on the internet doesn't like me...
It was humor, dipshit. Just like this post is.
Reading comprehension; you should try it sometime.
@GodlessLiberal@xanga - ha ha, that's kinda what I was just thinking! Such a double standard sometimes!
I am sure number 8 is how my boyfriend feels, considering I have a solid 3 inches on him.
@HopeWithinReach@xanga - I lol'd at this. Although, I'm not one to talk. I'm only 5'3. *insert short joke here*
I'm not surprised to see a troll post on Datingish.
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - Some bras clasp in the front. Date a girl that wears them and you could probably change your Xanga name to TheNotoriousBraRemoverGOD. Just sayin..
Good for you... T_T Really, this post is kind of superficial and pointless.
Number 10 for sure! I hate when I'm getting ready in the morning after my guy goes to work and I can't get my bracelets clasped :( More companies need to skip the clasp and just use a string with some stretch
@MyPublicSite@xanga - Hey, maybe you should hop off your high horse of moral superiority.
@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - Did you seriously plagiarize a comment less than a page above you?
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - Um... thanks?
he'll shade me from the sun like a tree
that's why I prefer tall guys.
super hot hard sexy body to carry me around when I'm sleepy. that's why I like tall guys with wide armspans; their arms act as a makeshift hammock bed for me to nap on
my personal monkeybars and carousel ride. that's the fun of tall guys. they are portable playground equipment. he spins me around and around and around like a carousel with his long arms
skyview radar
I can see the entire view when I'm sitting on his shoulder at a crowded place.
ladder extender/orange plucker. while sitting on his shoulder, I'm tall enough to reach the oranges way up in the branches of the tree. half the bucket of oranges to make orange juice, and the other half to throw at random short people for fun.
I can borrow his oversized giant clothes, because I like wearing clothes that smell like a sexy tall man
we'll wrestle and I'll feel powerful when I pin down the giant and have my way with him
I like to tippy toe like a nimble ballerina when I kiss a tall man
it'll take me like 4 hours to give a tall guy a lapdance because his legs are so long and his lap is soooo made to give lapdances. hours upon hours of fun! each of his body parts will take hours to explore because I'm a doll and he's such a giant.
that's why I like tall guys.
