10 Things Girlfriends Dread Doing in Relationships

Ladies, I’m here to cut the confusion once and for all. If you and your current object of affection are not platonic friends and you’re not official boyfriend and girlfriend either, you’re one of these 10 titles in between. Titles are ranked from 10-1, in order of respectability and relationship potential (hint: in this case, bigger isn’t better.)

10. Booty Call
These serve one purpose and one purpose only: physical satisfaction. If you fall under this category, you probably have not associated with your man during daylight hours. He probably doesn’t know your middle name or your favorite TV show, and he probably doesn’t intend to find out.

9. Drunk Dating
You may feel like you have a consistent dynamic because every time your man parties, you’re his go-to girl. However, if your relationship revolves around sloppy makeouts and slurred speech, you can’t count on him to remember any tequila-inspired compliments or confessions; any promise of commitment after five shots is the alcohol talking.

8. FWB
Friends With Benefits. A.k.a. the most notorious of pre-exclusive relationships. You want both the perks of a friendship and the benefits of a relationship. You will have both until one of you falls for the other, and then you will have neither.

7. Ex with Sex
You and your ex had killer sexual chemistry. Unfortunately, that’s probably the only thing you two had going for you, so that’s why you’re broken up now. Move on quickly, because you’re no good for each other.

6. Crush
He likes your statuses on Facebook. He sits next to you in class. He sends smiley faces in text messages. He shows off at the gym around you — he has a crush on you. Guys don’t necessarily act on a crush. Most times they are distantly enamored with you and too shy to make a move unless you give them the green light.

5. Talking
You guys both like each other and talk over text and call, but you’re still nervous and feeling out if you want to take things to the next level. Nerves get the best of you both.

4. Hooking Up
You’ve taken things to the next level — the physical level. However, you have more respect than the “booty call,” because “talking” and getting to know one another is generally a prerequisite for this title.

3. Best Friends In Love
You have been asked, “can you two just get married already?” more than 3 times from multiple sources. When you hear this, you roll your eyes and act disgusted by the thought of marrying your best guy friend. In reality, you’re perfect for each other, though you’ll never admit it. You two really just need to get over it and get married already.

2. Dating
If a guy takes you out on multiple dates, willingly pays for your dinner, and opens car doors for you, you’re dating. If he’s putting the time and effort into courting you, he most likely has a genuine interest in a future with you.

1. Baaasically Together
Everyone knows you’re an item. People even mistakenly call you his girlfriend. You basically are, because you don’t even hook up with or date other people anymore. The joke is getting old and you just need to bite the bullet and make it Facebook official.

Without further adieu:
“Blue” by Eiffel 65 (2000)
Even though no one ever knew the real words or purpose of this song, at least everyone knew it.

“Who Let the Dogs Out?” by Baha Men (2000)
Who, who, who, who, who thinks this is the best one-hit wonder of the bunch?

“I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred (1991)
Is this confidence-boosting anthem your top pick from the list? Or is it just a bit too sexy for your vote?

“Bad Day” by Daniel Powter (2005)
This song definitely had a few good days on the tops of Billboard charts, but Powter wasn’t heard from again until “American Idol“ made this the contestant rejection theme song.

“Macarena” by Los Del Rio (1996)
It’s the ultimate party playlist jam, yet I bet you had no clue who even sings this song.

“Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice (1990)
What do you think–is Ice hot or not?

“Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot (1992)
Is this song a “wonder” and you cannot lie? Or is it a “blunder” that you can deny?

“Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…)” by Lou Bega(1999)
Would you want to be his “Mambo No. 5?”

“You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt (2005)
Does his “beautiful” compliment impress you?

“Thong Song” by Sisqo (2000)
The only song about underwear that was catchy.

10 Real Reasons You Just Got Dumped [PHOTOS]

I don’t see Prince Charming racing to swoop me up on his white stallion any time soon, so I think it’s time for a reevaluation of my dating checklist. I refuse to compromise for a man who hates Will Ferrell movies, and will never settle for someone who doesn’t eat Mexican food. So, I guess that means the height requirement is next in line. Here’s why dating a shorter guy could be the key for all of us single ladies—

5. A Shorter Man…Can Help You Fulfill Your Dream
…of being a Victoria’s Secret model! Hunny, if you had an butt like that, legs twice as long as humanly possible, supremely seductive lips, and invisible body hair, you’d already be one. Since you don’t have any of these things, bending down to kiss a shorter man is probably the next closest option to knowing what it feels like to be the 5’10″ Adriana Lima.

4. A Shorter Man…Will Ensure You Won’t Die Alone
Studies have proven that shorter men live longer! If you date a man who struggles in the height department, your chances of ending up like the shriveled, old widow who lives all alone in the house across the street from you will statistically decrease. Also all men shrink when they age anyway! Your tall, young hunk will eventually transform into the hunchback, so why not cut to the chase?

3. A Shorter Man…Can Revamp Your Wardrobe 

Since a shorter guy is probably closer to your size, you can steal all his clothes and fit in them pretty comfortably. Bonus: you’ll avoid looking skanky in an obviously oversized shirt when you sneak out the morning after.

2. A Shorter Man…Provides You With More Options
As the age-old adage goes, “There are plenty of fish in the sea.” So maybe you should take your pole out of the pond and start casting a net in the ocean. The average man in the U.S. is 5’9 ½”. So, if we just lower our height requirement by a few inches, we’re lookin’ at a few million more potential suitors.

1. Finally, A Shorter Man…Isn’t Necessarily “Small”
If you read that with your head in the gutter…good. We can be friends. Often times, guys who lack in the height department, try to over compensate in other areas. I.E. the bedroom. Don’t be surprised if a short guy blows your mind between the sheets.

Even if it meant defying your dating checklist, would you ever date a great guy who is shorter than you? Is there anything on your list you could NEVER compromise? Let us know in the section below!

If any bombs are going to burst at the VMA’s, here’s who we predict will be warring:

The Wanted’s Tom Parker vs. Christina Aguilera

Will Christina Aguilera apologize to The Wanted’s bandmate for her recent ill-mannered behavior, or will she play “Diirty” and rebuttal on the Red Carpet?  

Chris Brown vs. Drake

There can only be one winner of “Best Male Video.” Is the loser going repeat an old offense and chuck bottles of booze at the winner as he accepts his award on stage?

Chuy vs. Kevin Hart

Chuy takes pride in being the “golden nugget” of prime time television. Will he wrestle against the 5’2″ host to keep his title secured?

R-Pat vs. K-Stew

Are they going to duke it out vampire style over who gets to keep the Bella and Edward action figurines when someone moves out?

Maroon 5 vs. Carly Rae Jepsen

“Payphone” and “Call Me Maybe“ absolutely exploded airwaves. Are these artists going to throwdown over who had a bigger AT&T bill??

Only time will tell! Stay tuned and turn on your TV’s September 6th to see who emerges victorious.

Watch President Obama Sing ‘Call Me Maybe’ [VIDEO]

This famous comedian and YouTube personality (known best for his Shake Weight video) has taken “Call Me Maybe” to Chatroulette, where tons of unsuspecting webcam victims got a little more than they bargained for. Kardynal surprises chatters in a wig, lipstick, and revealing bikini while filming their reactions for quite possibly the best “Call Me Maybe” parody yet. Watch the horrified and hysterical responses here!

20 Things A Man Should Never Say To A Woman

Medical experts have officially diagnosed this problem as OFDS (Obnoxious Facebook Default Syndrome). Symptoms may include: a low number of “likes” on your pictures, sarcastic comments left on defaults, and in severe cases–being defriended on Facebook altogether. Do you or anybody you know suffer from OFDS ? If so, you’re not alone. The good news is that if you or your friends have current default selections that eerily resemble 1-13 listed below, you can take the first step today to create a better tomorrow. Help is just the click of the delete button away.

*DISCLAIMER: None of these were taken from my real defaults; they were remastered to make a point. I’m personally offended if you thought I was actually that annoying.

13. The Sorority Squat

When you want to show how so totally popular you are by squishing thirty bodies into one frame, you have properly executed the “sorority squat.” The result is sore quadriceps and awkward limb contortion by 50% of photo subjects.

12. The Instagram Picture

More like Insta-brag. With the click of a button, this app makes any sandwich, sunset, or day at the beach seem cooler and more retro than it actually was.

11. The Head Shot

Just because your uncle owns an amateur photography studio, it doesn’t make you a model, hunny.

10. The Party Animal Pic

Squeezing those Grey Goose bottles or red solo cups in the shot to make sure everyone knows you raaggeee is a must. Bonus points if you get a club logo in the corner to ensure the Facebook world that you had a better Friday night than everyone else.

9. The Artsy Photo

Photo Cred Christina Jones

It’s way too mainstream to use a regular digital camera or show your whole face in an artsy profile pic. People who are guilty of a hipster default also typically add intellectual glasses or some aspect of art to establish, “I’m more cultured than you.”

8. The MacBook Selfie 

Photo Cred Christina Jones

So awkward. Must. Break. Eye contact. P.S. We all know you had a 20-minute photo shoot with yourself and your webcam to get this one pic…

7. The Celebrity Besties Pic

Photo Cred Sadao Turner

Includes the casual caption, “Me with Jason Kennedy and Derek Hough,” so maybe you can convince someone that you’re actually friends with them.

6. The Over-Edited Picture

Photo Cred Olivia Ulam

While uploading pics you think to yourself, “Hmm, this picture has potential to make the default cut, but not before some editing. Lets just increase exposure, add contrast, and decrease the saturation, and… voilà!” Newsflash: You did not save this picture. You did not “enhance” it. All you’ve done is turn yourself into Casper and make your nose and eyebrows disappear.

5. The Throwback Picture

Photo Cred Renata Jones

It’s bad enough when my newsfeed gets flooded with pictures of you in a diaper every “Throwback Thursday.” What’s even worse is when I scroll through my Facebook friends and I feel like a creep because half of my friends have defaults of themselves as toddlers.

4. The Boyfriend Picture <3

Photo Cred Ryan Figueroa

Okay, we get it. You have a boyfriend and you like to make out. Right on, cause we’re single and don’t want to be reminded.

3. The Duckface (Kissey Lips)

Photo Cred Kate Schoenfeld

You. Look. Like. An. Idiot.

2. The Crop Chop 

Photo Cred Meredith Jordan

I will NEVER understand why people sever their friends’ faces in half to classify a picture as default worthy. Is your friend that much prettier than you? Or are you just that obsessed with yourself?

1. The Bathroom Mirror Pic

These pictures should have died when Myspace did. Seriously.

The only rule I know is that it’s a requirement to be hot if you’re a quarterback. So when my boyfriend was ranting on and on about how NFL preseason just started and who he’s going to pick for his Fantasy Football team, I just zoned out and thought to myself: “should I paint my nails Pretty In Pink or Tangerine Tango?”

After confidently settling on Tangerine Tango, I snapped out of my daze and had a revelation. Maybe football wouldn’t be so boring if I fed into the frenzy and created a Fantasy Football Team of my own! Well, here’s what happens when you let a woman with absolutely no knowledge of the sport create her own dream team: Behold! The Ultimate Female Fantasy Football Team. AKA a collection of the 15 hottest NFL players who fulfill our wildest fantasies.

Wes Welker

New England Patriots Wide Receiver Wes is pretty skilled with his hands.

Ray Rice

Baltimore Ravens Running Back Ray is a killer catch on and off the field.

Clay Matthews

Green Bay Packers Line Backer Clay’s body has been molded to perfection.

Trent Edwards

Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Trent proudly starts off our list of steamy quarterbacks.

Jay Cutler

Chicago Bears Quarterback Cutler is cut above the rest of his teammates in sex appeal.

Adrian Peterson

Minnesota Vikings Running Back Adrian is a touchdown hottie.

Terrell Owens

Free Agent Wide Receiver Terrell makes us hike up our skirts a tad to get his attention.

David Carr

New York Giants Quarterback Carr drives us crazy over his good looks.

Miles Austin

Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Miles gives reason enough to “save a horse and ride a cowboy.”

Tony Gonzalez

Atlanta Falcons Tight End Tony makes it way too easy to play off the pun of his position.

Matt Leinart

Oakland Raiders Quarterback Matt’s smile makes up fumble our words.

Reggie Bush

Miami Dolphins Running Back is way done with Kim K, does this mean we have a chance!?

Tim Tebow

New York Jets Quarterback Tebow is our #3 target we would love to tackle.

Mark Sanchez

New York Jets Quarterback Sanchez–what do we have to do to get him in the sack??

AND FINALLY, it should come as no surprise to anyone with eyes that our #1 Female Fantasy Football pick is….

Tom Brady

New England Patriots Quarterback Brady’s beautiful face is almost a strong enough cause to outlaw wearing helmets on the field.

To convert dubstep non-believers, I scouted YouTube for quite some time to dig up proof that dubstep is in fact musical, and I would even argue…beautiful. Below are 6 phenomenal covers that highlight the technical, lyrical, and melodic complexities that dubstep songs have to offer. If you don’t get the chills and gain a grain of appreciation for the genre after listening to these remixes, you have no soul.

Piano cover of “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” by Skrillex

Listen to the original here.

Piano cover of “Cinema” by Benny Benassi ft. Gary Go- Cinema (Skrillex Remix)

Listen to the original here.

Acoustic, vocal dubstep mashup. Includes DJ Fresh, Flux Pavillion, Skrillex, Modestep, and more!

Violin dubstep by Lindsey Sterling- “Crystallize”

Piano cover of “Crave You” by Flight Facilities (Adventure Club Remix)

Listen to the original here.

If you aren’t impressed yet, here’s a 30 piece orchestra performing a classical medley of Skrillex songs.

Absolutely amazing! I’m curious if I’ve converted any dubstep non-believers. If your opinion of dubstep has changed, let us know in the section below. And Mom, if you leave a comment about how you still hate Skrillex, be warned that I’m locking myself in my room and blasting “Cinema” on repeat for the next 24 hours. Love you! <3
