Size Shouldn't Matter...Most Of The Time It Does

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:01:00 GMT

I was reading this blog about a guy rejecting a girl because of her size. Even though he did make out with her at parties and went on vacation with her, he still couldn't get past her size, and in a lot of ways it is honestly true.

I am a slightly curvy girl, and I have had the cruel rejection over my size before. When you think size shouldn't matter it does when it comes to relationships. I feel very lucky I have a husband who appreciates the size I am, and doesn't want to change me. I know a lot of females don't have that luck, and they are left with the rejection of "oh your too big for me" I don't like you enough to look past your size.

Size shouldn't matter when it comes to how you look, but sadly it does. More Here...

Star Signs: Pathetically Accurate or Just Pathetic?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:01:00 GMT

I've always been a curious, inquisitive person. As long as I can remember all things falling within the realm of the 'mystical' have appealed to me. These included astrology, palm reading and fortune telling. Yes one may discard such things as pure rubbish and nonsense. Well, I didn't. When I was younger I took them rather seriously and became well informed on zodiac signs (not horoscopes per se) and tarot cards. I actually owned a pack at some point and began reading cards for friends. To my amazement some of my 'predictions' actually happened. Creepy. And when I'd have my eye on a guy I was interested in I'd look up their 'sign' to see if he and I were compatible. Ahhh, if we were astrologically compatible than that would be a plus point, so I thought. How pathetic is that???!!! More Here...

"What if she lives in Helsinki, I'll never find her!"

Interracial dating has been a sometimes-controversial topic for many years, and now the idea of "intercultural" dating has become a buzzword. The Internet has only made the world smaller, making it easy to meet someone on the other side of the world who just might be your soulmate.

When I was younger, I was a huge fan of Clarissa Explains it All. I remember one episode where Sam laments about his perfect girl: "What if she lives in Helsinki? I'll never find her!" With dating sites like eHarmony and match.com and even on Facebook and MySpace, it's possible to meet those people. More Here...

The Fear of Rejection

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:01:00 GMT

Today, I had about 45 minutes to kill and I was no where near my house. So I decided to grab a magazine and get some green tea from Starbucks. I walk in and see a VERY cute guy sitting and studying and... not looking at me at all. So I got my tea and conveniently grabbed a seat near his. He looked over, smiled, and went back to his studying. I sat for the next 40 minutes willing him to talk to me (on a related note I apparently have no psychic abilities).

So Many Frogs, So Little Hope

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Basically, it's been the same story since I was fifteen. Every guy I've dated told me, "you're such a great girl, you're perfect, you'd make a great girlfriend because you have x, y, z, good qualities, but I just can't be in a relationship right now."

I've come to the conclusion that I either have really bad luck, or they were all lying and this is some secret speech that men learn by heart in an underground single man's club.

I also hate when people tell me, "you'll meet someone else, there's so many others out there, blah blah blah" because it never makes you feel better. It just makes you feel worse that you have to go back to the dock with a fishing pole and pray for a bite again, and your arms are still aching from all your other casts into the sea only to pull out jellyfish and sharks... Where's the tasty salmon that's wonderfully healthy for you and delicious? More Here...

I Argue With My Girlfriend Constantly

Q. My girlfriend and I fight all of the time and we've only been going out 2 months. I'm truly happy with her... but I get so mad with her and just break up. We break up almost once a week. I hate her best friend and she hates me. Help me please.

A. I'm sorry but this seems childish. If you are truly happy then you wouldn't be fighting "all of the time." If you are truly happy, you don't just break up every time you have a disagreement. Breaking up every week is not healthy, especially if you've only been dating two months. I think you two should take a break and work through your issues. Perhaps you should get to know each other better before deciding whether you should be together.

As far as the situation with the best friend: it's important to remember that you're not in a relationship with the best friend, but you should at least been cordial. Hate is a really strong word to use for someone your girlfriend likes very much. For all of your sakes, I'd suggest making amends with the best friend. If you continue to date this girl, you will probably be in many situations with this friend. Don't let your time together be miserable.

Movie Love: Fact or Fiction?

Last night I finally watched "Slumdog Millionaire" for the first time. I'm late, I know. At first I was surprised that this movie was focused around the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". I truly didn't see that coming. Spoilers after the cut! More Here...

What's Killing Us?

NPR recently published a story announcing that HIV/AIDS has become the top killer of women worldwide. The statistics are staggering: In Swaziland, over half of women 25-29 are infected with the virus. Nearly half of the adults who tested positive for the disease in 2007 were women.

The World Health Organization says that it's because women are more vulnerable to the disease, not only because of genetics, but also because of historic gender inequality. Many women who have contracted it get it as a result of sexual assault or pressure from partners who don't want to use a condom.

HIV/AIDS awareness and research has skyrocketed over the years, though. From the 1980's where it was largely considered a "gay" disease with a president who refused to acknowledge the killer until a very famous actor announced his infection to 2009, where South Africans see an HIV+ Muppet on their Sesame Street equivalent, I want to believe that as women, we could be smarter and that men would respect our bodies and wishes for protection.

I Like You, But You're Too Big for Me

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:01:00 GMT

Nothing is worst than rejection. Oh wait, there is something worst...cruel rejection.

It's hard enough when you like someone and you're trying your best to get them to like you back. Whatever happen to letting them down gently? One of my girlfriends has liked this guy for the longest and everyone knows it. He knows it too. We all thought he was leading her on a bit because he's nice/flirty to her. They went on vacation together. They even made out at parties. So when he told her that they couldn't be together, she asked him why. He told her he didn't want to ruin their friendship. When she asked him why that wasn't the case when they went traveling together or making out in a corner, he finally tells her "I like you but not enough to look pass your size." More Here...
