    The Biggest Relationship Jinxes 

    Don’t walk under a ladder, don’t look at a black cat, don’t forget to throw salt over your shoulder if you spill any at the dinner table… It seems like there are hundreds of things to signal that bad luck is about to come your way. Wouldn’t it be easier if we had hints like that to let us know that relationships are going to crash before they do?

    Well my superstitious readers, if recent history has taught us anything, there are a few read flags that can let you know you’ll probably be on the singles sex search in the near future. When it comes to relationship jinxes, avoid these ones so you don’t doom your love!

    Getting photographed in a wedding dress before your wedding day

    I’m not sure why girls would want to do this anyways, but here’s your official warning: Don’t!
    This week Laguna Beach babe Kristin Cavallari did a photo shoot of wedding dresses to prepare for her upcoming nuptials to Jay Cutler and just four days after the pictures were taken, he dumped her. Literally the exact same thing happened to Carrie Bradshaw when she did a wedding dress photo shoot for Vogue, and Mr. Big dumped her on their wedding day. Listen ladies, if you don’t want to be dumped before you even get the chance to say “I do,” then stay away from cameras when you’re trying on dresses!

    Tattooing your spouses name/ face/ whatever on your body

    A video surfaced this week of Kat Von D getting a tattoo of her boyfriend Jesse James’ face on her side. Now, this would be a bad idea for anyone to do, but considering she had only been dating him for a few months, and he’s known for cheating on his girlfriends/wives/anyone, I don’t feel bad for expressing how much of an idiot I think she is. She got the tattoo and Jesse left her, and the world remained unsurprised. But she’s not the only one! Angelina got one of Billy Bob, Johnny Depp got his Wenonah 4 Ever, Britney got matching ink with K-Fed, Amy Winehouse had her Blake Tattoo… The list goes on and on. I can only think of a handful of people who have relationship tattoos and are still together, and I have the clock counting down to when they’ll get divorced.

    Buying a pet together before you’re married

    “I’m really sorry to hear that. Who’s keeping *insert pet’s name here*?” You’ll have this conversation with every friend you have that buys an animal together before they’re married. It seems like getting an animal is the first step to a break up. You get to see what they’ll be like with a serious commitment, you won’t be happy with how they deal with it, and you’ll want out. It works every time.

    If you’re superstitious, do yourself a favor and avoid doing these things whenever possible!

    Why You Could Be People Magazine’s Sexiest Person Of The Year 

    There’s one thing all previous winners of People Magazine’s Sexiest Person have in common– they’re all not that good looking, we just assume they are.

    We put a lot more emphasis into personality than we do traditional looks, which makes us believe that someone is more physically appealing than they really are. If you let your key elements shine that the alumni of People’s Sexiest have, you’re likely to have anybody thinking you could cover the coveted annual issue.

    Before you start your singles sex search, dissect what you have in common with specific people who have been on the list before. Last year featured Ryan Reynolds. Besides the fact that he hits the gym 24 times a week, there’s personality traits he possesses that make him a more attractive person– The most prominent being humor.

    If you’re funny, whether it be a dry wit or a long-running Mike Meyers like funny bone, people are attracted to humor. Think about the famous sex symbol comedians– Owen Wilson, Drew Barrymore, Vince Vaughn. If you take away their humor, are they still sexy? Not really, no. They’re average looking people with what would probably mediocre acting gigs. It’s their ability to make you laugh that people find attractive. If you have a funny side, let people see it! There’s a reason that comedians have so much sex– people want to laugh.

    The other thing all of People’s Sexiest have in common is their humanitarianism. People like Harrison Ford and George Clooney really aren’t the most physically appealing guys in the world, but seeing a few pictures with them and some orphans in a third world country will just about break your heart. Knowing that someone is willing to take the time to help others is a big turn on for people, especially women, so if you are an active member of the charitable world, don’t be afraid to let it be known! People are compassionate by nature, and they want to know others are as well. When you unselfishly helping others, it’s a sign of both commitment and compassion.

    You can easily be seen by others as someone who could be on the cover of People Magazine’s Sexiest issue if you showcase how much you have in common with previous and future winners. Show your humor, your compassion, and, if you’re up for it, your adventurous side, and you’ll be the center of attraction in no time!

    Friends With Benefits Will Never End Well 

    Friends with benefits. It’s a great concept. Two friend who don’t have sexual feelings for each other getting it on because they have no one else to have sex with at the time. What could go wrong?

    A lot, actually. A lot could go wrong.

    Not once in my life have I heard of an instance where friend with benefits has ended well. Most of the time it ends the friendship completely, which is the biggest way to prove that the plan backfires harshly.

    How can an idea that sounds so great, go so poorly? Let me count the ways…

    • That casual sex you’re having? That’s not casual, my friend.
      The point of casual sex is to get laid by someone you have no connection with. No past, no future, no friendship, no nothing. Having sex with a friend isn’t casual, it’s having sex with a friend! There are already feelings invested in that relationship, and when you cross the line into sexual territory, you defeat the purpose of ‘casual.’
    • Things get complicated when someone else is added into the equation.
      If you decide to walk down the FWB path because you’re not getting any action anywhere else, then chances are you were in a pretty bad dry spell. But if either of you find someone else you want to start seeing, it will leave one of you feeling hurt and replaced when you pull the No Strings Attached card off the table.
    • Jealousy is a cold bitch.
      Let’s say you do start liking this person (which is more than very likely), and they don’t feel the same because they really did just want to be friends with benefits, nothing more. Feelings like that are almost impossible to ignore, so if you do maintain these feelings, you’ll have a hard time ignoring that jealous chip on your shoulder.

    Friends with benefits never works out. If it does, chances are you weren’t that good of friends to begin with! If you need a quick lay, stick to finding free sex online instead of in your friend roster.

    Make Speed Dating Work For You 

    If you’re looking to meet singles, one of the easiest ways to do it is through speed dating. It’s a great opportunity to meet a lot of people in little time, who are all looking to get back into the dating game.

    If you’re going to try speed dating for the first time, keep these tips in mind to find success.

    Don’t open with work, travel, or hobbies. It’s important to keep in mind that the person you’re talking with is going to talk with 20-30 other people in their next few hours there, so you need to stand out. When people have a cold-open conversation with a stranger, the easiest things to talk about are where the work, where they travel, and what their hobbies are. By avoiding these conversations, you’ll give them a relief from a repetitive and dull conversation, and will give yourself the chance to make a unique impression.

    Don’t go too far into why you’re there. Speed dating isn’t anyones first choice, so there’s a good chance the story of why you’re speed dating isn’t too charming. If someone asks why you’re there, simply say that you were interested in finding new ways to meet people.

    Dress to impress! You need to stand out above the rest, and a good way to do that is to simply look nice. Don’t over dress and groom properly!

    Look at others for tips. If you’re floundering with your dates, look around at others to see what they’re doing differently. Do they have different body language? A different way of approaching their dates? Seeing positive things others are doing is a great way to learn by watching.

    Don’t stack your dates! If you’re lucky enough to get dates, don’t make them back to back. Most of the time women go in groups, and if you happen to stack dates with people that came together, you’re setting yourself up for someone to take back their offer to go out with you.

    Keep your mind off sex. You should be concentrated on getting to know them as a person, not wondering what they would be like in bed.

    Speed dating is a great way to meet people and make quick connections. You may not have much time with each person, but you have more than enough time to make a good impression.

    Where Not To Look For Dates 

    I’ve been asked over and over where you should go to meet singles. The truth is, there’s countless places to go to meet singles. It’s not necessarily where you go, but how you act when you get there. What a lot of people don’t think about is where they shouldn’t go when trying to make a love connection.

    Meeting someone at a place like a bar or a coffee shop is safe, because those patrons are constantly changing. It’s when you start searching in places which are a part of your regular routine that get you in trouble.

    Never Date Someone…

    You met in your office. Inter-office dating isn’t only frowned upon by most corporations, it’s the easiest way to get yourself into a sticky situation. If the first date goes wrong, or the 13th date goes wrong, it’s going to be awkward. It doesn’t matter how long it lasts, if it ends, it’s going to be uncomfortable having to see them every day at work. It makes it harder to get closure when you’re faced with your ex every day. On the other hand, if things do work out with the two of you, seeing someone everyday at home and at work will be an overload, which will let you easily get sick of them. You need your breathing room!

    You met in your apartment building. You know my points about seeing them every day when you break up? Apply that with this one, but add the sting of having to see them bring a new date home on an unexpected Friday night. Ouch.

    You met them at your friends house, because they’re a friends sibling. First of all, there’s bro code/ girl code about these things. Dating a friends sibling should always be out of bounds. Second, you’re not only risking an awkward relationship, you’re risking tanking your friendship! Could you imagine visiting your friend’s parents home with them knowing you’re the ex of one of their other children? Yah, that’ll get a little uncomfortable.

    Instead of thinking about where you can find dates and free sex, start intentionally avoiding the places you shouldn’t find dates!

    Why ‘Single’ Isn’t A Dirty Word 

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my single friends over the past few years, it’s that saying the word ‘single’ in front of them is like swearing in front of a toddler who is in the phase where they repeat everything you say. It seems that when you’re single, you’re constantly trying to find ways not to be single, and when you’re in a relationship, you’re spending your time thinking about how much easier things were when you were single. There’s really no good middle ground, because people naturally want what they don’t have. I used to have a girlfriend that was naturally blonde and would always dye her brown, and when it was brown, she’d want it blonde again. A vicious cycle, much like this single/relationship dilemma.

    Well, this is my plea to all the single people of the world: Embrace it while you can! You’re the half of the world that the involved and married half is insanely jealous of, and you should enjoy it while you can, if only for us stuck in relationships.

    There’s so many perks to being single, that if you could only forget about entering a relationship, you’d be able to actually enjoy your time alone. When your only objective is to meet singles, you lose all sight on what else you could spend your time doing.

    Here’s a few of my favorite things to do while a free bird:

    Go to the spa. This is something more women do them men, but both parties should consider a day of massages and facials. It’s an easy way to relax and a perfect way to spend any extra cash you may have to spend. Since you don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you don’t have to worry about saving money for things like dates or presents. you may as well indulge in something that will lift your spirits and physically make you feel better.

    Join a team. Being a part of a team will help you forget about your relationship woos since you’ll have the most important aspects of one given to you by a group of people: a support system, fun ways to spend your extra time, and people to share your joy with. Have you ever scored a goal while on a sports team? The feeling you get from the congratulations of your teammates is unparalleled to anything you could get from a relationship. Find a co-ed ball hockey or soccer team for the summer and enjoy the camaraderie.

    If you in the mood to cry, to laugh, to smile, to think, to whatever really, the movies are a great place to do so. When I was younger, I’d think of going to the movies and automatically think of who I can invite. The truth is movies are so much better when you go solo! You don’t have to worry about finding two seats together, you can actually enjoy the previews that people usually talk through, and you won’t have the movie ruined by someone else’s opinion. Have you ever been really enjoying a movie only to have someone point out a detail you didn’t notice, and it throws off the whole film for you? When you go by yourself, you can take the whole emotional journey without being interrupted.

    There’s one major perk that single people tend to overlook- you have all the time you want to spend with your friends! When you’re in a relationship, you have to think about getting home to your partner, concentrate on spending time with them, etc etc. When you’re single, you get to have fun with the people you love whenever you want. That alone is worth giving up sex for!

    When it comes down to it, being single is a blessing in disguise. You finally have the freedom to do the things you couldn’t while you were in a relationship. Embrace your single status and take it for all it’s worth.

    How To Date Like Taylor Swift 

    What do Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and Chord Overstreet have in common? They’re all multi-millionaires, multi-talented, and are all ex-boyfriends of America’s Sweetheart Taylor Swift. For someone who is constantly touring the world, recording new albums, making movies, guest staring in TV shows and creating her own clothing line, I don’t know how she even has time to date. But she does, and she does it well.

    I’m sure all single ladies would love to have a dating record like hers. A pop superstar, an academy award nominee, a star of the biggest movie franchise in the past decade, and one of this generations only truly good musicians? Sign me up for ANY of those!

    But I don’t understand how she does what she does. Once you get past the beautiful curly blonde hair, all you have left is an awkward teenager who is a little Rene Zellweger-esq in the eye department and can’t sing that well. But it looks like these things work for her!

    This is how I assume Taylor Swift managed to get the dating life she has.

    Gain a holier-than-thou image regardless of how many people you have slept around with. Apparently guys will look past the fact that you’ve slept with half of Hollywood (or wherever you live) if you keep a halo above your head. You can find one at any Halloween shop or dollar store. I know Taylor doesn’t literally have one, but she’s famous she doesn’t need one. You probably do.
    Get praise for what you do, even if you don’t do it that well.     If Miss. Swift has taught me anything it’s that when have a job, guys won’t care if you’re good at it, as long as you have one. And as long as you’re hot. That’s why it’s okay for her to sing so poorly, right? Right…?
    Be super surprised anytime you get anything, even if you knew you were getting it. Oh my gosh, a Christmas present?! Oh my gosh, butter for my toast?! Oh my gosh, the mail?!?! Taylor Swift has a surprised face to the extreme for every occasion. Maybe it’s because guys can imagine doing something with the O she makes with her mouth? Whatever the reason, based solely on her popularity, I can only assume that people love seeing other people be surprised.
    Never stop publicly complaining about your ex boyfriends. 17 songs. That’s how many Taylor has admitted to being about ex-boyfriends. I guess when people say you shouldn’t talk about your ex’s, they’re completely wrong. Talk about them at every chance you get!
    Have someone steal your award; get pity.     Before Kanye took her VMA, she was just your average 18 year old millionaire superstar. After Kanye took her VMA, every guy in the world was talking about how hot she looked at the awards show. So now all you have to do is get nominated for something, win that something, and have someone steal it from you.

    Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you and Ima let you finish, but my confusion about why you get such great men is the biggest confusion of all time. Of ALL time!

    Does Money Make A Difference In Internet Dating? 

    It’s a question that people have been wondering since online dating first came into play: What’s better, free dating sites, or paid dating sites? Well, that all depends on what you’re looking for.

    Let’s break it down:

     


    If you’re just looking for action:     Free dating sites. People looking for free sex probably aren’t going to be handing over their credit card number to sign up for a dating site.

    If you want to start a committed relationship: Paid dating sites. People that use paid dating sites are usually more serious about finding someone to spend time with, and they’re willing to take the effort to make a real connection with someone. On most paid dating sites, you have to commit to a three-to-12 month account, which promotes people to stay logged in until they find success.

    If you’re looking for friends in your area: Either! If it’s just a friend you’re looking for, then you can find that connection on either medium. People on both free and paid dating sites are always looking to connect regardless of the emotional attachments that do or do not come along with it, so you have extreme leeway in choosing your site for this.

    If you want to find someone with specific personality  traits/ looks: Paid dating sites. When you sign up for a paid dating site, you often have to fill out a lengthy survey asking questions about your life, appearance, and what you’re looking for in someone else. When someone fills this out, it makes it easier to match you with what you’re looking for. Not to say that it’s impossible to find this on free dating sites, but you’ll be doing all the searching yourself and it will take you quite a while longer. If you want something specific, stick to paid dating sites.

     

    Whatever it is you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it online. When you want to meet local women or men with specific traits, you may have to break out the credit card, but if you’re willing to put the time in, then you’ll have no trouble finding someone in the digital world.

    Nice Guys Really Do Finish Last? 

    Gentlemen of the world, we’re plagued with bad news today. UCLA came out with their phycological surveys for 2010, and the studies showed that men who smile less are more likely to have sex.

    A little heart breaking for the last remaining nice guys of the world, but I guess this proves the saying ‘nice guys finish last.’ So what can we do? It doesn’t seem logical to become a dick just because females have terrible taste in men. I wouldn’t want to stop opening doors for my dates, but if it’s what’s hindering me from hooking up with single ladies, then maybe I should put being polite on the back burner for a little while.

    I’ve come up with a few ways to trick women into thinking you’re more of a bad ass than you seem. It may be the attitude that reels them in, but it’ll be the charm that gets them to stay! Here’s what I’m going to start doing to get girls without being too ‘nice’.

    I’m buying motorcycle gear. Do I own a motorcycle? Hell no! My parents were

    emergency room doctors, so I’ve heard countless horror stories about what can happen on them. But if girls want a guy who is risky and a little rugged, then letting them think I own a motor

    cycle will be interesting enough for them to start talking.

    I’m going to start using shitty pick up lines. “Hey baby, I want to take you back to my place and teach you a few things I’ve learned in bed over the years.” I might get a few drinks in the face, but chances are someone is going to wonder what those things are and want to try them out.

    My razor is going in the garbage. A clean shave is for good guys, and I’m a bad ass now! I’m going Conan O’Brien and starting my nice-guy-protest-beard until I get laid.

    My smile is taking a vacation. Since the studies said that people who smile more get action less, then I’m going to give my pearly whites a little shade for the next few months.

    If it’s a bad boy that women want to pick up, then a bad boy I’ll be! A little warning though, this is all assumed and I really have no idea if this is going to work or not. If it does, I’ll invite you all to join on this experiment. If it doesn’t, then I hope the girls I test this out on don’t slap too hard.

    Matt Damon May Have Been On To Something 

    I’ve made my thoughts clear about people going on a singles sex search. I think it’s great. If you’re horny and you don’t have a fuck buddy already on the go, why not?! It’s a win-win for everybody involved. Unless one of you has herpes, then it’s a lose-win, because you still got laid, but now you have herpes.

    I was online looking to meet local women, when I came across a video I hadn’t seen in a while. It was a song that Sarah Silverman wrote for Jimmy Kimmel to let him know that she was sleeping with Matt Damon. Now I understand that the song was a joke since, let’s be honest here, there’s no way Sarah Silverman could bag Jason Bourne, but it started to give me some great ideas! There’s a breakdown in the skit where Damon starts listing all the places they had sex while Silverman was dating Kimmel, and I realized how great of a checklist it is to do with someone new! Trying to get a home run in all the places he did? It would make me feel like I was living out The Bourne Identity, which is clearly every man’s dream.

    So here’s the places he had sex, which are also the places I now want to have sex.

    1. On The Bed. A little mundane, but sex is still sex! And if you’re trying to check this list off with someone you just met, it’s probably the easiest place to start.

    2. On The Floor. Who wants to be restricted to the surface area of a bed? The floor has so much more room to move! If things heat up, you can use the stop, drop, and roll technique as a new sex position.

    3. On a Towel By The Door. There’s nothing worse than the wait between the shower and the bed. It may only be a few feet, but it feels like a lifetime! Skip the walk and do it against the door.

    4. In The Tub. Soapy, clean, wet sex. Is Charlie Sheen around? Because I hear someone #Winning.

    5. In The Car. As much as I love road head, I love pulling over and getting down to the nitty gritty in the back seat even more.

    6. Up Against The Mini-Bar. Admittedly this is probably the most uncomfortable and inconvenient and you’ll probably break that poor little bar, but if you’re at a hotel, I say screw it! It’s not your mini-bar.. break away!
