Datingish Advice: Picking Up the Check

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:01:00 GMT

My boyfriend and I always take each other out on dates. Although I have friends who have boyfriends that do not usually allow their girls to pay for a dinner or movie, I think that's quite a hefty investment especially if he doesn't have a steady job/career. Chivalry is always nice, but what are your thoughts in paying or taking your SO out on a date?

Why Can't I Bring My Girlfriend to Prom?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:01:00 GMT

A northern Mississippi school district will not be hosting a high school prom this spring after a lesbian student sought to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

School policy requires that senior prom dates be of the opposite sex. The ACLU of Mississippi had given the district until Wednesday to change that policy, arguing that banning same-sex prom dates violated constitutional rights. Instead, the school board met and issued a statement announcing it wouldn't host the event, "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events."

Do you think this is right? What is your opinion?

Would You Move For Your SO?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:01:00 GMT

My SO has lived in one place her entire life. I, on the other hand, spent my early childhood moving around until getting settled in the 5th grade.

We're currently very long distance (across the United States), and a job opportunity has presented itself that would have me move to her coast in about a year. The trouble? It's an 8-10 hour drive from her home, across state boundaries. She says she'd be unwilling to move in with me (marriage, etc, further down the road) unless I come to her state. More Here...

To Be Supportive or Not to Be?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:01:00 GMT

So I just found out a girlfriend of mine is seeing the asshole who broke her heart again.

This all happened last weekend over brunch when one of the girls mentioned for her to try online dating to meet potential dates. She casually said, "oh...well I'm kinda seeing someone now..."

So of course we all got excited for her (she hasn't had a date or been in a relationship for 2 years) and started asking her for details. When did it start? How did you meet? Where did you meet? yada, yada, yada... Finally, she mumbles "it's my ex..." More Here...

Smut in Relationships

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:01:00 GMT

Porn in relationships is common I'm sure. There's that not so well "hidden" file on the computer or the stash of magazines in the bathroom. Whichever. We all know its there. And for the most part I think women accept it, that there man has porn. However it's one thing to have it but another to be caught watching it and most likely jerking to it while the woman is in the other room. That, gentlemen, is not at all appropriate. If the lady's home you should have to stoop to that level. Ask her for some fun! Don't make a fool of yourself from getting caught in the act. And just so you know, its not at all flatter to a woman to see you jerking while she's home. I know it makes me jealous in a way and a wee bit a lot insecure like I can't pleasure you right so you have to watch porn to get that super special feeling.
Just keep that in mind gents.

Have you ever caught your man (or woman) watching porn while you were home?

Sluts and Saints: Keeping Your Man At Bay

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:01:00 GMT

My girlfriends and I came to the conclusion during one of our lunch meetings, that no matter how hard you try to "track" your man (so that he doesn't cheat), it is just completely pointless. The best we can do is to be both the slut and the saint, NOT just the saint.

If a man wants to cheat, he'll have every way to keep things that matter a secret and let you check everything else. Yes their dicks may sometimes decide for them but their brains DO have some uses at times. So even if you do everything you can to keep an eye on him (looking through his sms, emails, etc), it doesn't really work. More Here...

For women who haven’t yet cashed in at the like and love registers of man shopping malls – bar, gym, online, etc, author Tristan Coopersmith suggests that it’s time they diversify their dating playgrounds.

Coopersmith attests that there is a vast array of alternatives to man shopping, “All women have to do is hang up their open for business sign.” She adds, “By projecting a friendly, available attitude and putting on their peripheral dating vision they will finally see the whole world as one giant dating pool ripe with mandidate (i.e. man candidate) opportunity.”

Through thoughtful research and years of personal experience (good and bad) Coopersmith unveils 10 unusual scouting locations bursting with boys and men.

Would You Lend Your SO Money?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:01:00 GMT

So my boyfriend is in school, and he has a part time job because he pays for his own tuition through working. However, his grades suffer from all the time spent traveling to and from work and of course from working. I care about him a lot and want to see him improve his grades, and I am considering giving him some financial aid. More Here...

Pregnancy To Save The Relationship ... Ummm, Huh?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:01:00 GMT

Oddly (or sadly) enough, I got the idea for this post by watching MTV's "16 and Pregnant." Anyone who has seen that show knows it features an overwhelming number of teenage deadbeat baby daddies. At first I thought this said something about our nation's male youth. And it does: How is that the baby mamas were able to step up, tend to and unconditionally love their child while the baby daddies could care less?

But a lack of responsibility on part of the boys isn't the only thing going on here: It's not that a baby is born and their father turns into a jerk. These dudes were always jerks. The girls thought a baby would change them. In many instances, it seems like the girl had a baby to change him. Pregnancy to save a relationship ... they really need to start teaching not to do that in schools.

Thing is, 17-year-olds aren't the only ones out there doing this. At least I don't suspect they are. Everyone knows at least one unmarried couple, living together for the sake of their baby. Think about it. Don't you?
