What would happen at work if… 1. You repeatedly showed up late. 2. You consistently neglected your responsibilities. 3. You ignored your primary tasks because you tried to do everything yourself. If you committed these infractions at work, your employer would have cause for dismissal.
Obama is bringing the troops home from Iraq, and it's a single woman's perfect opportunity to snag a man in uniform. So, dust off your patriotic heels and show our men in service just how much you appreciate their sacrifices.
This week, we invited everyone in our community to write about their "list" — the celebrities they would sleep with if given the chance (no repercussions!). Consider it a fun way to daydream and pass the time on a particularly boring day... and something that you may or may not want to share.
We all have a list of attractive celebs with whom we'd love to hit the sheets. These lists illustrate perfection in our eyes, the ones who, if we could have tailor-made mates, we would create to fulfill our wildest desires. But, that is not how the real world works. We like to fantasize about famous men falling for us regular women just as we are, but we know they won't. The celebrity male, such as Matt Damon or Kenny Chesney, who falls for one of the normal girls is rare, and even then, we question the likelihood of such a relationship lasting. I admit that, much as I would love to have a shot at my Hollywood dream men, they are not available for me. I have to be more realistic, even in my fantasies.
We love hearing from you, in our Twitter feed, on our Facebook wall, in the comments and in the Ask YourTango forum, and now we want to hear from you on our blog. Starting October 10, for the next five weeks, we will issue a challenge, to you our smart and savvy readers and ask you to write a blog post about it in the community blog.
Okay, we know you’ve heard it many times from all kinds of sources from your best friend, to Cosmo, to every dating coach out there: Make a List of What You Want. It's true – creating a list is a crucial step in making the relationship of your dreams a reality, however, we are betting that many of you have made the list, and yet still do not have your ideal mate.
In this list you'll find people from the past and present who have had a profound influence on both the concept of love—the way people understand and think about romance—and the practice of love—the actions people take to find, pursue, and keep it. You'll encounter expected folks like John Gray author of the classic, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, as well as less obvious people, like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who created a site that has dramatically changed the way we interact with one another. We hope our selections will inspire, delight and surprise you. And we welcome your feedback!
It's 4th of July weekend again, a time when Yanks will be celebrating the United States' independence from Great Britain. Last year, we shined the spotlight on five famous duos who have bridged the gap between our countries with love. And this year, we're taking a look at five more Brit/Yank celebrity couples who pledge their allegiance to each other.
Ah, yes. The hymen. That tiny little membrane that supposedly covers our lady parts. Let's clear a few things up, shall we? You might have grown up believing that whole urban legend about the hymen "ripping" or "breaking" during first intercourse, and as a result, there was going to be some major pain involved. Turns out that just isn't the case, folks.
Although Paris may traditionally be considered the City of Love, America has a romance capital, too: Alexandria, Virginia. Don't believe us? It's true! Amazon.com recently released its list of the Top 20 Most Romantic Cities in the United States, and Alexandria took the top spot for the second year in a row. Apparently the city has the magical key for keeping the love alive. To come up with the list, Amazon compiled sales stats in four categories on a per capita basis: romance novels and relationship books, romantic comedy movies, sexual-wellness products and Barry White albums (nice). Alexandria came out on top, followed by Knoxville, Tennessee in second and Orlando, Florida in third.
