Breaking All the Rules

Today my ex-boyfriend and I had a conversation about his constant use of rules in dating. It wasn't him having rules that we disagreed on, but what I interpret as him breaking them all whenever he wants, to the point where I fail to see how they serve him in the first place. More Here...
What's Considered a Normal, Angry Reaction?

The other morning, my boyfriend and I were working alongside each other at a meeting for our school newspaper. He was getting frustrated about a couple things, and basically got bitchy, snappy and took his irritations out on me.

I was so angry that when he touched my shoulder, the only thing that went through my head was "Don't touch me." I didn't say it out loud, nor did I reply to whatever he was saying to me.
Have you ever been able to hear your own voice in your head? When this thought jumped up, I could hear my own voice, and it sounded pretty cold. More Here...
Thoughts During Sex

Some people fantasize during sex, others concentrate, and others shut down their brains so they can sit back and enjoy. What do you think about during sex?

I try to just lose myself in the pleasure, and get my brain to turn off during sex. I want everything to be solely focused on the physical and emotional connections and pleasure while my boyfriend and I make love.

What do you think about during sex, if you think at all? Any weird thoughts come up during sex? Funniest thought during sex?
Why Do Men Always Need Proof?

There are some things that have been frustrating me about guys, or the guys I have experienced anyway.
Why is it so hard to get guys to have an open mind? When I try to tell a guy something, whether its a humanitarian topic like the fact that not everyone has the opportunity to to go to school because they may have things preventing them like poverty, no guidance, difficult life, or even just a fact that I learned from school (I am a Education / Psych. major), basically any variety of a topic, they need evidence. Or else they challenge everything you say. They can't just have an open mind and think "that's possible". More Here...
Odd News of the Day: The Dating Habits of iPhone Users

You might be using your cell phone to make your Saturday date night plans, but it's your cell phone that is dictating your love life. At least if you're an iPhone user.

According to research done by Retrevo, iPhone users have specific dating habits that revolve around... well their love of technology. How geeky is that? Retrevo asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" iPhone owners prefered cool gadgets over a college degree three to one.

- One in three iPhone owners has texted or emailed their significant other to break up.

- One in three iPhone owners say that, if their partner had out-of-date gadgets, it would be a turnoff.

- One in five iPhone owners admits to frequently watching “adult material” on their iPhones. (Twice as many as BlackBerry owners).

- One in four iPhone users has broken up with their partner because that person spent too much time on their mobile device.

Seriously? I may have been secretly loathing those iPhone users as I not-so-patiently wait for my Blackberry to load, but now I have good reason to despise them. It looks like we are one-step closer to technology ruling the world. It seems it's already taken over the dating world.

Thoughts on this research? Are iPhone users really that hung up on gadgets?
