Greatest Pick Up Artist of All-TimeGreatest Pick Up Artist of All-TimeEarlier this year, I asked some women about their worst dating experiences- the results, most of them pretty funny, can be found HERE. Before that, I asked some of the same women about the worst-pick up lines they had ever heard- since the women were all beautiful, I had two posts-full of extra-ordinarily awful pick-up lines which can be found HERE and HERE. Just recently, I asked some guys I know about pick-up lines- while they were extremely less forth-coming than the women I consulted, I did get some fun answers from a few of the fine gents that I asked.

Startling Study Finds Some Hook Ups Lead to Relationships- Are You Surprised?

Hook Ups Can Lead to Relationships- If You're LuckyHook Ups Can Lead to Relationships- If You're LuckyA recent study from the University of Iowa regarding hook ups and the longevity of relationships led me to the conclusion that perhaps the researchers at the University of Iowa have too much time on their hands. The researchers surveyed 642 heterosexual adults from the greater Chicago area about their sexual histories and the quality of their relationships.

The results of the study were pretty ambivalent- the researchers concluded that relationships that started off more slowly in the sexual department had a slightly higher likelihood of success than others. However, the researchers also concluded that hook ups can also lead to satisfying relationships. The determining factor is often whether or not those who participated in hook ups had the expectations of a relationship or not. If the person was open to a relationship, but not expecting one, the likelihood of a successful relationship was increased, but probably not exponentially.

Would you date this guy? Choose Your Profile Pics WiselyWould you date this guy? Choose Your Profile Pics WiselyIf you are single, be careful which picture you post on your Facebook profile or online dating site- which camera you use, when the picture was taken, and other factors determine the quality of just how hot you will look in your picture. The data that I read was collected from the dating site OKCupid.com and can be found HERE. Remember that these are opinions only, so DON’T PANIC if your profile picture does not match the criteria below- you have time to fix your profile page to match the true-life hottie that you really are.

OK Cupid collected the data by putting over 500,000 pictures side by side and asked people to choose which picture they liked better based on a number of factors.

Personal Lubricants Can Help

2 Comments

Personal Lubricants Can HelpPersonal Lubricants Can HelpI was charmed by the film “Superbad” starring Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. Seriously, who doesn’t love movies about young virgins trying to get laid?  

At one point in “Superbad”, the characters of Seth and Evan are in the parking lot at the liquor store waiting for the much-loved McLovin’ to buy booze with his questionable fake id. As the two are talking, one busts out a bottle of lube and the other chucks it across the parking lot. His reasoning? Lube is only necessary for old ladies- not hot high school girls.

I beg to differ.

Bar Scene: Pick Up Artists at WorkBar Scene: Pick Up Artists at WorkOverheard recently in my hood:

“So, he was, like, what’s your favorite number? And I was like, 22 and he said, oh my God, that’s my favorite number, too!”

Wow, it must be true love. The same favorite number and everything. Time to move in together perhaps? Not quite.

Sex: 3 Easy Positions to Help You Reach an Orgasm

2 Comments

Sex: 3 Positions to Help You Get an OrgasmSex: 3 Positions to Help You Get an OrgasmSome women seem to be bragging about how frequently they orgasm during sex; the reality is that they may be lucky enough to have more experienced partners or that they know which positions work the best for them. Of the multitude of sexual positions, there are certain positions which make it much, much, easier for a woman to have an orgasm.

Here are three positions for you (and a willing and able partner) to try out:

Missionary Position with a Modification: Instead of just lying on your back during the missionary position, extend and wrap your legs around your partners’ shoulders. The idea is that this position will allow your partner to hit the highly sought after target of the G-Spot. Another modification is putting a pillow underneath you.

Will South Africa's Anti-Rape Condom Prevent Date Rape?

3 Comments

Anti-Rape CondomAnti-Rape CondomA few months ago, I wrote about date rape prevention HERE, but today, I saw THIS on CNN and was amazed- a South African doctor has invented an anti-rape condom. The latex device can be inserted like a tampon, but turns into a frightening device that clamps around a guy’s penis with TEETH and hooks that have to be surgically removed from the man after penetration.

Women Don't Need Men to Tell Us What's Wrong with Our Bodies

1 Comment

Body ImageBody ImageI had a talk with my girlfriend the other day about how we felt about our bodies- we both decided that it was extremely helpful (NOT IN THE LEAST) when a guy chooses to tell you what exactly is wrong with you- the subtext being of course that if we didn’t already know which part of our body, our wardrobe, our shoes, our jobs, our personality, or whatever was wrong with us, we would be eternally grateful for the helpful hints given to us by the men in our lives.

Emphasized Femininity, Part II

Add Comment

Even now, several years later and after many more accomplishments, I hear, "That's nice. So when are you going to send us more pictures of your daughter?" or, “When are you going to have another baby?” I have been working since I can remember to counteract these issues. When I was in the first grade, a group of boys started shouting "Girls are dumb! Girls are dumb!" over and over again at the playground until every boy had joined in. I was appalled to note that not only did the teacher on duty do nothing, but that all of the girls just stood, transfixed, as if in some sort of trance! I was so mad.
