The 15 types of men all women will date in their lifetime

Relationships

Jul 10, 2014

Here are the types of guys that every girl will encounter during their lives at one point or another:

1. Overly attached
We’ve all had this one, the one that’s constantly texting you and Facebooking you to see how you are. At first, you really do like all the attention and affection, but after a while it really gets annoying and starts to creep you out. You know you have to break up with them, but you’re worried they will go crazy when you do.

2. The slob
When you first meet them, they scrubbed up pretty well and actually made an effort. Two months into the relationship they’re are so comfortable in your presence they don’t care how they look. Anytime you go over, the house is a mess and their wearing sweatpants and a t -shirt that is way to big for them.

3. The best friend
You were drunk one night and sparks flew and thought it was a great idea. Everything went downhill from there and you didn’t even last two weeks. You know each other so well that it’s unbearable being boyfriend and girlfriend together. All you want is to just go back to being friends again.

4. The model
They are way out of your league and you count your blessings when you’re with them. Eventually you realise how vein they are and how they have absolutely no personality. They’re amazing in bed and you can say to the grandchildren when you get older “I tapped that”, if you have that sort of relationship with your grandchildren?

5. The gym freak
They basically live in the gym and are constantly obsessing over how many carbs they had today and the amount of protein bars they ate. You always see them in sweatpants/yogapants and earphones in. They have a cracking body, but they spend more time in the gym than they do with you.

6. The car lover
They spend all their time, money and effort on their baby, meaning their car. They are always upgrading it and getting new parts. They can never miss an episode of Top Gear and if they actually put as much time and effort into the relationship as they do with their car, you would probably still be with them.

7. Dumb and Dumber
They aren’t the brightest tool in the shed and when someone tells a joke, it takes them forever to get it. In fairness, that wasn’t the reason you got with them in the first place, but every now and then you wonder if they actually ever went to school because of some of the stuff they do is just tragic…

8. The asshole
When you first meet them you like their attitude and how they don’t take shit from anyone, but over time you realise how bad a person they actually are. They are constantly giving out about someone and things turns bad for you if you don’t agree with who they hate.

9. The psycho
You mistake their psychotic tendencies for being a person with great energy. They’re always the first to do something crazy on a night out and after a while of being with them, they start to request to do weirder and weirder stuff in bed. They’ll end up doing the most outrageous things to show much they love you.

10. The shy one
On the complete other end of the spectrum is that really shy person that for some reason or other you’re attracted to their shyness. You know they’re completely genuine and you don’t have to worry about them cheating on you. Although, they never voice their frustrations or talk about how they feel so you don’t really know where you stand.

11. The scab
When it comes to birthdays and anniversaries they really live off the saying it’s the thought that counts. They say that they‘re broke, yet they got a new phone last week. When it comes to presents, the furthest they go is getting you an empty card, not even a scratchcard…

12. The alcoholic
They are always great to be around on a night for and hour or two but after midnight they go way overboard and they will drink anything and everything. You’re the one who has to deal with the carnage after a night out and the one who pats their back when they’re puking on the street.

13. Mr. Forgetful
They can’t remember when you got together and they’ll always forget your birthday…

14. Suave and sophisticated
They have an undeniable swagger and sophistication about them and you are pulled in by their lore. Whether they’re a man or woman they will always be polite and courteous. They can be quite forward sometimes and they say exactly what they think of you. Sometimes you just don’t want to hear the truth.

15. The cheat
The less said about this one the better. You always had a sneaky suspicion that they were up to something behind your back. Their dubious texts, strange behavior and denial of any wrong doing. Of course, there is really only one thing to do in this situation….. Revenge?

Good and bad things about being single

Uncategorized

Jul 9, 2014

by Amber Saunders

There are good and bad things about everything – relationships included!

Good: You Can Do What You Gosh Darn Like

You can go do literally do whatever tickles your fancy. Whether it’s as elaborate as travelling the world, dress whatever way you like, to watching E! News without him bitching to change the channel.

Bad: Spiders

“OH JESUS GET IT AWAY!” You’re on your own there…

Good: More Time To Focus On Your Professional Ambitions

Get rich or die tryin’

Bad: You’re Surrounded By Love Songs

It seems that instead of embracing every new love song that comes out, you find yourself actually realizing how much you can’t relate to most songs anymore. You’ll soon find yourself listening to music which provides female empowerment, and enjoy that a lot more.

Good: Crazier Life Scenarios

You never thought you’d end up at some random dark underground rave at 6am in god knows where with god knows who. But you are and you’re having a blast!

Bad: Well, Crazier Life Scenarios

“So and so has tagged you in 1 million photos”. What have you done?

Good: More Snoozing Space

You can now starfish in peace with all the duvet you ever dream off. Livin’ the life.

Bad: Lack Of Spooning/Forking

We all love a good cuddle here and there. Those days are gone, it’s just you, your pillow which you wrap your body around and that gift vouchers for Ann Summers.

Good: You Are You’re Own Critic

Whether it’s your own appearance, your personality or major life decisions, there’s no one else to give the final verdict apart from you. This in result is mega-empowering.

Bad: Creeps, Creeps Everywhere

A lot of guys think it genuinely okay to inform you that he loves how your bosom looks and assume that because your cleavage is on show that you have no doubt in your mind that you will sleep with anyone.

Good: All Your Hard Earned Cash Goes On You

You may not be rolling in cash but you find that you have more money to play around with.

Bad: “Are you seeing anyone?”

This is always an awkward question; if you not seeing someone than you’ll receive a pitiful face and a talk about how “he is out there.”. Or if you are seeing someone, you can’t say it without sounding like you’ve been planning your wedding together.

Good: You Become Closer To Those Who Never In A Million Years Would Be Your Friends

This usually happens on the steps of some building close to whatever nightclub you went to that night. It’s 5am and you find yourself having a full on DMC with a girl who you kind’ve know but never took the time to as you usually would leave the club several hours previous with your boyfriend. YAY NEW FRIEND!

Bad: You Miss Having A Romantic Connection With Someone

As much as you do enjoy the company of pizza, you have the best friends in the world and spooning your dog has not just become acceptable but immensely enjoyable it is just not the same. The desire to be held and admired by a special someone can get a tad overwhelming, especially after watching Moulin Rouge for the third time this week.

Good: You Can Eat/Fart/Burp Whenever You Want

The sense of relief when you don’t have to worry about what kind of wind you about to realise into the atmosphere. You can just do it, continue devouring that 20e meal deal from Dominos and follow it up by belching the alphabet.

Bad: Having To Do Everything Yourself

Having to do everything for yourself can get really really annoying. Your tired, you’re hungover and a fry won’t make itself. It’s hard not having someone there to ask really nicely to do it for you *puppy eyes*.

Good: Flirt With Whomever You Like

There are sometimes in your life when an incredibly good looking man wanders into your life. You’re convinced that he must be from heaven as someone that looking cannot be human and for whatever reason he’s got his eyes on you. Time to be cool, have the bants and stare at this absolute beauty.

Bad: It Been A While So You Forget How To Flirt

Other times you can be a bit rusty, or immensely intimidated. Either way you’ll find yourself desperately trying to keep composure and not appear like a mentally insane patient who decided to escape from the asylum and go to Coppers.

Good: Life Is One Adventure After Another

Though all the dramatical moments, lonesome nights and major life events you know that being single in your 20′s is an absolute blast. Life is full of opportunities, every night out is great craic and you can’t remember the last time you went home before the lights went up.

14 thoughts every girl has on a first date

Uncategorized

Jul 9, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Dates are one of the scariest things in the world. Here are some thoughts that every girl has on a date:

1. “Am I too early? Does that seem too eager?”

There’s nothing worse than accidentally arriving fifteen minutes early to a date, especially when he’s running behind on time. You’re left standing there having a premature panic attack, going through every possible scenario, all the whilst appearing to have been stood up. Do yourself a favour and arrive a couple of minutes late.

2. “What if I don’t recognise him?”

Since most romances nowadays begin among the dry smoke machines of pubs and nightclubs, you’d be forgiven for being a little tipsy and therefore forgetful, when it comes to meeting them for the first time sober. This is why Facebook creeping is handy.

3. “Oh good, he looks better than I remembered.”

There’s always that nice moment of surprise when he’s easier on the eyes than you remembered. Considering your only memory of his face is a tad blurry, you’ve set yourself up for the fall, the fall being his face. So when he turns up and doesn’t resemble the state you’d imagined, you can only thank your lucky stars.

4. “Oh Christ, what if he thinks I’m worse than he remembered?”

So you’ve come up trumps in terms of bagging yourself a date with a decent man, now you begin to worry that he won’t feel the same. Just because we’re plastered in make up and are wiggling our arses to beat the band, does not mean that we’re feeling oh so fab, I assure you. If you’d like to compliment her, it’ll go a long way.

5. “Does this dress make me look fat?”

Wearing a tight dress seemed like the best idea ever at the time, you’ll feel sexy, confident, up for anything. Then ten minutes in, you begin to realise that you can’t breathe out without looking pregnant. Crap!

6. “We’re going WHERE?”

All that women ask, is that you don’t make us eat in front of you sober until at least the sixth date. There is nothing more cringe worthy and awkward than trying to remain alluring, whilst trying to chew on an overcooked piece of asparagus and of course there’s that paralysing fear that we’ll end up with bits of broccoli in our teeth. We don’t even like broccoli…

7. “Oh god, what do I say next?”

Conversation with someone you don’t know is similar to a game of tennis. A constant back and forth of strenuous effort is required and sometimes all you want to do is omit a loud, exasperated, whale-like, sound. Don’t do it. That’ll be really awkward.

8. “What if the whole evening goes like this and I’m constantly worrying about what to say next?”

Just because the first few minutes are painful, does not mean that you’ll spend the whole evening in agony. If all else fails then fall back on the following topics: the weather, drink, the church, embarrassing stories, ‘people passing by’ commentary, the weather. Yes, you should be grateful to us.

9. “I’m sweating. What if I have sweat patches?”

Phew.

10. “Where’s the nearest bar?”

Alcohol makes these situations far more bearable. It shouldn’t, but it does. It seems to push the awkward, small talking worries to the back of your now fuzzy mind and brings the walking, talking, hilarious you, to the forefront of everyone’s attention.

11. “Oh great, here comes the awkward paying moment.”

This is the worst part of all. Trying to split the bill with a virtual stranger never gets any easier. “I’ll get this, no I’ll get this, no…” EVERYONE JUST STOP BEING SO AWKWARD.

12. “Alcohol makes everything so much less awkward.”

By now, you should have settled into a comfortable stage of being drunk and are rapidly becoming an expert at ranting on. You should be blabbering away to your hearts content, not a worry in the world, other than who’ll pay for the next drink.

13. “I wonder when he’ll go in for the shift?”

So you’re a tad drunk, a little merry and a lot in need of the shift? Well pouting at him with your drunk eyes is more than likely not going to work. You’re both grown, consenting adults here. Go for it.

14. “Would it be really bad if I went home with him?”

He seems normal enough?

10 undeniable signs you’re about to break up

Relationships

Jul 9, 2014

by Amber Saunders

They say nothing lasts forever. If you see these signs, your relationship could be one of them…

1. You See Less Of Them
You used to see each other every couple of days. But now, you could go a whole week without seeing each other, and it’s never as trivial as watching television any more. It has to be something interesting to get them up for it.

2. They Don’t Text As Much
And when they do, they seem disinterested, and don’t talk nearly as much about the stupid little weird things that only you two would find funny.

3. You’re Always The One Making The Plans
In a healthy relationship, both people contribute to the making of plans. One person might be naturally more organised, but the other person is at least enthusiastic about doing stuff. But when this enthusiasm goes out of the relationship, and they really don’t seem like they’re bothered to do anything, then alarm bells should definitely be ringing.

4. There’s More Awkward Silences
This is the equivalent of them not texting as much in person. You used to talk about everything and anything, whereas now it feels like they struggle to think of anything to say to you, and the silences aren’t the comfortable ones that you two used to have, but are much more awkward instead.

5. They’re On Their Phone More When They’re Around You
This is a result of the awkward silences, so rather than just sit there in silence, they’ll be on their phone, scrolling aimlessly through their newsfeed. This is a real sign that they aren’t enjoying the time you spend together.

6. You’re Having Less Sex
And when you do have it, it just seems like such an effort for the other person, and they just seemed to go through the motions, not really making any effort at all.

7. They’re Fighting With You More
They pick fights over little things that you do; stuff that they used to find really cute about you. They seem to be doing it just for the sake of it, and this shows just how unhappy they are.

8. They’re Cancelling Plans With You
If they’re not enjoying the time you’re spending together, then chances are they’re going to want to spend as little time as possible together, and they’ll actually start cancelling plans that you’ve made together.

9. They Stop Drunk-Dialling You
Annoying and all as it might be, drunk-dialling your other half shows that they’re thinking about them even when they’re not there. But if this stops happening, especially if they used to do it all the time, then they’ve obviously stopped thinking about you as much as they used to.

10. They Change Their Profile Picture
They used to have a really nice photo of the two of you as their profile picture, but now, it’s been changed to just a photo of them. The most petty version of this is when they use the same photo and just crop you out of it. This is definitely a sign that something is wrong.

George Clooney blasts rumours about his fiancée

Celebrity

Jul 9, 2014

by Amber Saunders

George Clooney has officially spoken out about rumours regarding his fiancée’s mother opposing his impending marriage.

The Hollywood hottie spoke to USA Today where he slammed reports that Baria Alamuddin was against his marriage to her daughter, Amal.

The Daily Mail story involved had reported that Baria wanted her daughter to marry into her Druze religion and claimed that she could do better than George.

It also claimed that Amal would be shunned from her community for the marriage.

However, George has seen a few holes in the story and has pointed them out: “First of all, factually none of the story is true. Amal’s mother is not Druze … she is no way against the marriage. But none of that is the issue.”

George’s biggest issue with the false story seemed to lie in religious terms: “The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous.”

Another marriage split rocks Hollywood

15 ways to rekindle your relationship

Relationships

Jul 8, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Long-term relationships are not always easy. Here are some ways to help you get out of any rut you may be in with your other half and put some life back into it!

1. Get Out Of ‘The Routine’
It’s understandable how couples can get into a sexual routine with one another. It’s the formula which is almost always guaranteed to do it for both of you. This can get boring after sometime so why not try something different? Like dress up sexy, or surfboard up in that bath, get your imagination flowing and you’re bound to discover new ways to enjoy being intimate together.

2. Take A Trip Somewhere… Different
Yes Paris may be the most romantic city in the world, sun holidays are always enjoyable and yes Ryanair offer cheap flights to London, but why not go to a location out of the ordinary? If you’re thinking about going on a trip why not try Brussels or Edinburgh? That way you’ll both be surprised when you get there and make the experience all the more bountiful.

3. Write A Little Love Letter
And don’t tell them you’re going to write it. Nothing makes you feel fuzzier than reading words of admiration from your other half. Even if you’re the one writing it, it’s a great way to get in touch with your feelings and realise how much you actually appreciate them.

4. Let Him Dress Up As Batman
Or you as Catwoman. Roleplay doesn’t necessarily mean you have to spend a few hours getting into character, it’s just a bit of fun. Everyone has a fantasy, so why not fulfil each others. You’ll find dressing up can lead to incredible sex.

5. ‘Date’ Each Other Again
Going on date nights is a great way to re-light that fire. It’s important to hang out and do couple stuff, because at the end of the day that’s what you are. There’s a reason why couples go to the cinema, eat Eddie Rockets and go to farmers markets; it’s because those things provide time for you both to be secluded in the open world.

6. Actually Listen To Each Other’s Day
We’re all guilty of pretending to listen to our other halves talk about their day. You don’t know or particularly care who Mike is or why he’s an ass but still you nod and pretend you do. If you want to be closer to your loved one, then you need to tune in and you’ll find the rewards are fantastic.

7. Take A Trip To The Store *wink* *wink*
Sex shops are great craic, even if you’re too scared to actually make a purchase. It’s good to have look around and find anything that may tickle your fancy.

8. Go Out On A Night Out Alone
Remember when you were dating and you would just go out and get pissed together? Well start doing it again. There’s nothing wrong about getting giddy with one another, it definitely makes the sex more adventurous.

9. Tease The Hell Out Each Other
Nothing will make each other more than holding out sex for an extra 10 minutes. This is what turns into actual love making, which is a lot more fulfilling. So when it does get to the point of em, becoming one, it will be all worth while and be all the more intense.

10. Do A Little Dance
Except sexier than Barney.

11. Make A Bedroom Rule
Have your dirty little secret between the two of you by creating a sneaky sexy bedroom rule; why not make Tuesday’s tie-up day, or make a rule that the first one to, em, get to the finish line, can’t get dressed for the next hour. Get creative.

12. Make Sure You Have A Life Outside The Relationship
Time apart makes the heart grow fonder, even if it’s only a a day or two, it’s important to spend time apart. In this way when you do see each other it’ll be a treat, you’ll always have more to talk about and you’ll be craving each other more.

13. Do It Somewhere… Risqué
Not in the middle of the M50 or on the luas tracks, but if you’re walking in the park why not just sneak your way into a bush. This way you’ll get your bit with some extra excitement and connect with nature.

14. Surprise Each Other
Say what you will about Barney Stinson, but the naked man move does actually work. Let’s look at a scenario: okay so your loved one is due to pop over to your place tonight (Netflix and pizza in mind) and you decided that you’ll answer door in your dressing gown wearing nothing underneath. When they arrive BAM!

15. Allow Yourself To Have Fun
Life is busy business. It’s hard to not let the bad things happening during the day interrupt your personal life. So when you get to hang with your partner, you can be in a pretty bad mood. If you allow yourself to smile and be happy you actually can change your mood around. In no time, you’ll find the both of you having a great time.

8 realistic reasons he hasn’t called you back yet

Relationships

Jul 7, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Guys are fickle, strange creatures. Sometimes they come on too strong, and when you do, they run a mile. It makes no sense.

Here are 8 realistic reasons that guy hasn’t called you back.

1. You’re coming on too strong
There is absolutely nothing wrong with going for what you want with gusto. However, play it a little hard to get and make HIM do the chasing. Much more fun.

2. He doesn’t want to give a false impression
Although it’s a little childish, some guys won’t be texting back because they don’t want to give you the wrong impression that they want things to go any further. They might write back now and again to be polite, but if they aren’t replying as frequently as they should be then it might be time to move on.

3. Too many questions
Much like coming on too strong, asking too many questions can also scare a guy off. Guys are pretty simple creatures and can usually only deal with one thing at a time. So if lots of questions are coming in at once, especially if you’ve only recently met, chances are he’ll eventually just give up trying to answer them all and end up just not answering any.

4. He’s trying to play it cool
From the girl’s point of view, this looks pretty similar to when he doesn’t want to give you a false impression, so again the best way to get rid of any confusion is to just ask him. The only reason he’s doing this is to not come on too strong to you, which means that he likes you. So if you do ask him what the situation is, he’ll be honest and say that he is interested in you.

5. It’s too late at night
It may be something as simple as he is wrecked and just can’t fathom a text conversation right now. Don’t be offended.

6. You’re being too needy
If you’ve only recently met the guy, but you’ve already started getting emotional in your texts with him, he’s going to be turned off very quickly. Guys like to be needed and to look after girls, but not if they’ve only known them for a couple of weeks.

7. A genuine reason
Sometimes there actually is a genuine reason, like he doesn’t have any texts or data left to reply to you, or he’s at a football match or he’s with his friends. But the key thing to remember about this situation, even though you don’t know if it is a genuine reason, is to be patient. He will reply to you eventually when he does get a chance, and will apologise for the delay (if he’s a decent guy), so any extra texts you send can only harm your situation.

8. He’s just not that into you
This is the biggest fear when he’s not texting you back, especially if you really like him. But unfortunately this is the case sometimes, and it’s just important to remember to not get desperate, because you’re never going to change his mind like that, and to just try and move on.
