How to find that perfect set of couple friends for you and your main squeeze.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a happy couple must be in want of another happy couple to be B.F.F.s with.
Fred and Wilma had their Barney and Betty; Lucy and Ricky had their Ethel and Fred. It seems that for every dynamic couple, there exists an assumed want for a complementary pair of friends, who are also a couple.
The want is self-explanatory: "couples" friends reinforce each other's union and become a support system for the individual partners. Discovering people who enjoy not only your company, but your significant other's as well, affirms one's belief that his/her relationship … Read More
Is ex-sex OK? Rom-com restraining orders. And obeying your wife.
I'm big enough to admit that some people other than myself write things that are clever or insightful on the interwebs. I hate them for it but goldernit I respect them. And just so you can keep your day nice and compact, here are some of my favorites from the last handful of days:
My friends Em & Lo (EmAndLo.com) have compiled a list of the worst shows to watch when you're getting your swerve on. I suppose it goes without saying that the show Dirty Jobs should have made the list… that's what she said.
It's a really good policy to not neglect your friends when starting a new relationship.
Do you know what couples skating is? I'm sure you do. I'm sure that you've been both perpetrator and victim of this nefarious practice. Now that we all know we're in the same boat, let's discuss what couples skating is and is not.
Couples skating is not turning figure eights on an icy surface. Couples skating is neglecting your friends. Couples skating is not doing the now-outlawed Detroiter for the delight of fans and scorn of judges. Couples skating is spending five weekends in a row at home. Couples skating is not performing the legendary Iron Lotus. … Read More
She wants more time with her BFF, she's jealous of his lady friend and he is not her boyfriend.
Today I decided to implement a new feature, advice. I don't pretend to know all the answers, but I do know when I see advice I can't get with. Note to reader, I'm of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do school and think Gang Starr said it well, "It's often easier for one, to give advice. Than it is for a person to run one's own life. That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype." And that's what I like about it, it's easy. So, here goes:
Carolyn Hax, syndicated columnist, typically rocks some pretty solid advice. But last Friday's run … Read More
Paris Hilton thinks Benji Madden and the Windsor Princes are cool though.
How about that? According to The Superficial, Paris Hilton is fed up with being used for sex and/ or fame. She said that, "Every other guy I've been out with has used me for money or sex - but in most cases they just want fame." Weird that a woman would date a man and come to the conclusion that he just wants to have sex with her. Most guys we know just want someone to watch Bronson Pinchot DVDs with them.
If the Rick Salomon tape is any indication, no one is really getting his money's … Read More
The celebutante's been mixing it up with Prince Harry, a new BFF, and Benji.
It's been a while since Paris Hilton has made it into the Dish (or gotten any Celebrity Love), so we figured we'd check in on the no-longer-to-receive-anything hotel heiress. If memory serves, when last we saw Paris Hilton, she was not planning a double wedding featuring the Madden Bros and former BFF Nicole Richie. Shortly thereafter we found out that that there was a virgin vying to be her new BFF. Good times.
Speaking of becoming Paris' BFF, Slate has an essay by Troy Patterson about her reality best bud search My New BFF. … Read More
Your gay best friend. How much dependence is healthy?
When I ride the New York subway, I'm the envy of most guys around me. I'm ruggedly handsome and have an understated sense of style (it seems I've perfected the sexy just-got-out-of-bed look) and I often have a big grin on my face—one that is inevitably triggered by the smart, sexy, funny woman at my side. On the face of it, we're picture-perfect. We banter; we flirt; I make her laugh like no other man can—at least, not on public transportation. It looks like a devastatingly irresistible dynamic. But not many know how devastating it can be.
You see, I'm … Read More
Girl Crush: Intense, platonic feelings of admiration for or excitement about another woman.
Our eyes met across the room. Right away, I felt it. That click. That connection. That instant recognition of spirit and humor and taste. In the cab ride home, I wondered how long I should wait before I called.
It may sound like a typical Friday night: chance meeting, instant infatuation, uncertain aftermath. But this encounter was different than most. This time, the object of my affection preferred brunch to baseball, manicures to motorcycles, and gossip to, well, anything else. Call it … a girl crush.
Lately, it seems like everyone has one. Hardly a tabloid goes by without announcing Lindsay Lohan's … Read More
