Quick admission, I am a study junkie. I love to read scientific studies. I’m a science dork, so I often read about new science, but I also want to keep educating myself about what’s going on with everyone, mentally and emotionally. I even have a podcast where I chat with the authors of these studies…
The year 2011 was interesting for the cultural zeitgeist. Adele was reaching mega-stardom by setting fire to the rain, the Harry Potter films were coming to their devastating end (I’m personally still recovering from this), and, most importantly, romcoms were shaping the modern dating landscape. Movies like Just Go With It, Something Borrowed, and Crazy,…
The first time casual sex was brought to my attention, I was a freshman in college and still on my religious high horse (but slowly teetering). While waiting in a doctor’s office one day, I begrudgingly picked up a magazine and came across an article where a young woman was talking about her preference for…
I remember this one time in my early 20s when I was about to enter a huge rager outside of a cooperative house in Berkeley, California. I was an undergrad and very ready to party. Before my friends and I eagerly entered the fray, however, a young student said they had to give us the…
Sometimes it seems that what women are looking for can change on a dime. One minute it’s Manic Pixie Dream Boy and the next it’s Lumbersexuals. They are supposedly eyeing the hedge fund bros while simultaneously fending off “Bucket Bunnies” and “Row Hoes” for the blue-collar line workers. It can be really confusing to know…
If you’re a ‘90s kid like me, monogamy has been imprinted in your mind just as much as a love for Jim Carrey and the lyrics to Britney Spears’ hit classic “Baby One More Time.” The concept — which has traditionally been defined as “the state or custom of being married to only one person…
I am a big fan of quotes. When I was in theater in high school, I loved having a Shakespeare quote or two handy. Even before the internet — I had books of quotes at home. (“Peter’s Quotations,” published in 1977 and “The Guinness Book of Poisonous Quotes,” published in 1991, among others) Why do…
You’ve met a gal, and that’s great! She’s awesome and fun and gives you butterflies. But you aren’t really much of a talker… and you’ve never been accused of being romantic. After a beautiful day out, walking through the countryside and farmland, she turns to you and asks, “What are you thinking? Right now?” You…
We get it. Planning a date can be hard, and honestly, even redundant sometimes. But it doesn’t have to be and we’re here to change that. Whether you are on the hunt for a unique first date idea or simply need a fun way to keep your partner on their toes, we have an exciting…
A situationship is like a relationship, but not quite. Situationships are sexual and romantic relationships that are undefined — you’re not officially dating, but you’re engaging in many of the same activities that couples do. Gen Z has created and popularized the term in an attempt to describe the unique sort of relationships they find…
