From contrived small talk and picking out an outfit that can change everything he thinks about you, to drinking too much and goodnight kisses, some of us ladies cannot stand the concept of dating.  But that doesn’t mean we don’t want some romance in our lives.  You’re the girl who cuddles up to her pillow every night, but the thought of sharing the bed with a snoring, space heater of a man is more like a nightmare.  Here are the struggles every girl who hates dating, but really wants true love, understands.

1.Your motto about relationships always comes back to Larry David when he said, “A date is an experience you have with another person that makes you appreciate being alone.”

2.Casually dating and hooking up does not make your heart swell. If you’re going to spend that much time courting or being courted by someone, why is there a possibility that it won’t work out at all?

3.Small talk makes you cringe.

4….And all small talk reminds you of is starting high school all over again, or that time you had the stomach flu.

5.When you browse Tinder or other dating sites, you’re trigger-happy when it comes to ruling people out. Has a cat? Left Swipe. Has a boring job? Left Swipe. Has eyes? Left Swipe.

6.Your idea of a romantic date involves Netflix, sans pants.

7.PDA is disgusting, but you’re not about to invite a guy into your home to give him a hug. He’ll obviously expect more if he’s seen your bedroom.

8.You always find a way to cancel plans. Oh, the weather is bad? Let’s reschedule!

9.You’ll secretly watch rom-coms, but no one would dare catch you watching them (and crying a little,) because that just isn’t how the world works!

10.

Waiting for him to ask you on a second date is complete bull. You’ll never have to worry about the tension between dates and questioning if he actually like-likes you if you don’t date to begin with!

Working from home may sound like a dream, and it definitely has its perks, but if you’re not careful you can slowly go insane from it. As many advantages as it has, there are things you never considered that can end up eating away at your soul. Here are 13 almost daily struggles you probably never experienced unless you worked from home.

1. Putting on pants feels like dressing up
If your office has a dress code it may seem like a pain to get into those outfits every morning, but there’s nothing better than, at the end of the day, popping off your dress clothes and getting into something comfy. The problem with working from home is that you have no dress code, so you slowly start putting less and less effort into your wardrobe until finally you look down and realize you’ve been wearing the same Uncle Eddie robe for three days and there are Doritos stains on your socks.

2. You never really stop working
In an office you have a start time and a stop time. Even if you work late, you still have that structure. When you work from home you never really stop working because there’s no separation between work and home. You’re just this slimy amoeba slithering from your home office with your work laptop, to your living room with your work laptop, and finally to your bed…with your work laptop.

Written by: Calise Hawkins Nicole Aimee Schreiber

Being a funny lady in the dating pool is a minefield. We spoke to comedians Calise Hawkins and Nicole Schreiber about the things you shouldn’t do when going on a date with them, unless you want the date to end immediately, with a drink in your face. 

 

1. He’s rude to waiters.

Nicole: If we’re ever out and my date speaks down to people: dealbreaker. Like, if they’re rude to waiters. They are doing their job! They’re not your servants!

 

2. He “shushes” me or tells me to “relax.” 

Nicole: I went on a date once where a guy shushed me. Bro, I’m LOUD! I’m allowed to express my emotions. Don’t tell me to relax because it’s too much for you in this room! I hate that. I want a guy who lets me be me all day. That’s probably why I’m still single.

7 Reasons the Blunt Friend is the Best Friend You'll Ever Have

1. A blunt person will never shit-talk you.

If you’re friends with a blunt person, it might just be you’re one of those magical species of human that doesn’t get on their nerves or you’re too busy being blunt yourself.

But if they have something to say, you can count on hearing it from them directly, because talking behind their friends’ backs is just not in their nature.

2. They’ll tell you the truth – even if it hurts.

A blunt person holds truth to the highest standard. If there’s something they think you need to hear, they’ll tell you. But be aware, just because you need to hear it, doesn’t mean it’s always what you want to hear.

The good thing about this is that your friendship issues don’t build up and explode. Instead of arguing, you’ll have meaningful and nurturing discussions.

New Study Reveals Who’s More Likely to Cheat in a Relationship

New Study Reveals Who's More Likely to Cheat in a Relationship

Hint: It has everything to do with economic dependence.  (Image via AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)

What’s the likelihood your spouse will cheat on you? University of Connecticut professor Christin Munsch attempts to answer that question through an economic lens in a study published today in American Sociological Review. Munsch looks at how likely it is a breadwinner will cheat — as well as how likely it is an economically dependent spouse will do the same. Her “counterintuitive” finding, per the Guardian:

Men and women who are economically dependent on their partner are more likely to cheat, with men three times more inclined to do so. For women: Those who are totally economically dependent have a 5.2% probability of cheating, compared to 3.4% for those who brought home equal income and just 1.5% for total breadwinners. For completely financially dependent men, the probability of cheating was much higher: 15%.

As for how common that scenario may be, CNN points to a Pew Research Center report that found that 15% of married mothers out-earned their husbands in 2011.

Men were actually least likely to cheat (2.9%) when they brought home 70% of the couple’s pooled income. Infidelity increases from there, with men who are the sole breadwinners having a 4% chance of cheating.

“These men are aware that their wives are truly dependent and may think that, as a result, their wives will not leave them even if they cheat,” Munsch tells the Wall Street Journal. She arrived at her conclusions by crunching data of 2,757 straight people in the same relationship for at least a year as gathered by the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth between 2001 and 2011. As the survey’s name suggests, those considered were young: between the ages of 18 and 32. What Munsch thinks her findings indicate:

“We don’t really like inequity, and there’s probably something about masculinity that means men really don’t like it.” (How to tell if your number of sex partners is “normal.”)
