7 fights women start with their boyfriends

Relationships

Oct 1, 2014

In every relationship, there’s the good days and the bad. Bad outweighs the good because when they’re bad, they’re Tyson bad. It’s always the boy’s fault. Even if it’s not, it is. Girls sniff them out, searching for the next row, the next wrong word or wrong look. Here is a breakdown of the top fights gals start with their boyfriends and the silliest boy answers:

1. Were you looking at that girl?

“No, what the hell. I was looking at that building, I didn’t even see her.” Oh he saw her alright.

2. Why are you still friends with your ex-girlfriend on Facebook?

“I’ve never even been on her page. Makes no difference to me what she’s at.”

3. Ah right, you’re going out with your friends tonight then?

“Yeah, we’re only going out for a few. Nothing crazy, quiet enough night.” Um, wasn't tonight supposed to be date night? Nice…

4. Why do you never wear that t-shirt I got you?

“I have worn that t-shirt soo many times. You just haven’t seen me those days.” It's all lies. Why doesn't he just say he hates it? So annoying.

5. Why do you always have to drive?

“Because I’m a better driver.” All women know this to be false.

6. You’re not romantic at all…

“I’m not a big woman.” Would it kill him to pick a daisy from the garden? Just SOMETHING?! We're not asking for a handwritten poem or anything like.

7. You didn’t even get me a card?!

“I thought it was tomorrow.” Men need to learn birthdays are important to most girls, as are anniversaries and Valentine's Day. Deal with it and act accordingly.

4. You like their quirks
That little clicking sound that comes deep within their flem cave when they sleep… Gosh that’s cute.

6. You find yourself smiling to yourself when you think about them
You know you look like a complete muppet and you don’t even care

7. You don’t notice the opposite sex (as much…)
Your friends point out the hot guy who just walked into the bar and all you have to say is ‘meh’

8. You feel comfortable with them
Clipping your toenails in their face, that’s love.

9. You don’t feel like going out (as much…)
You just don’t see the point in drinking to debauchery levels when you’ll just want to go home for pizza and snuggles at 1.30am

Not marriage yet – but you’re open to discussing Easter holidays.

11. You clicked this link… so you must be at least in the love neighbourhood
Love is knocking my friend.

Four guys you need to avoid on Tinder

Uncategorized

Sep 29, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Some people on Tinder need to be avoided – there is no two ways about it.

Here are five guys you will want to swipe left on Tinder…!

1. The guy that lists ‘’ being a full-time legend’’ in his personal info

This is pretty self-explanatory. We are not back in third year in secondary school and Tinder is not your homework journal. Next.

2. The guy that thinks he can flirt

So your phone vibrates and informs you that you have a new tinder match. Mildly interested you open the app to see who could be your future boyfriend. He has even sent you a message. Heart racing, you open it thinking about all the cute dates you two could go on but then this is what awaits you. "Hey there nice dress but I bet it would look better on my floor". Block him, delete him, do whatever needs to be done. No one should be subjected to such a conversation.

3. The guy that communicates with emojis

Just. No.

4. The guy that is most definitely still in school

So he may be eighteen which technically means he can be on Tinder, but seriously? A match? Aaand, swipe.

The 18 emotional stages of seeing your crush in public

Uncategorized

Sep 26, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Otherwise known as the love of your life. You could be just waltzing through your day and then… there he is. Heart palpitations, heavy sweating and emotional warfare, this is the emotional cycle of running into your crush.

1. Internal Panic Attack Upon Sighting

The one day you don’t wash your hair right? You were not expecting to see him, and yet he’s just popped up in your life today. You pause suddenly, look around at places to hide while you figure out what you are going to do next.

2. Look At Your Phone, Avoid Eye Contact

Now that you’ve attempted to hide from your crush, the natural next step is looking at your phone. Because if he does see you, he’ll think “Oh she’s looking at her phone. She’s so busy and popular. I admire her.” Or at least we hope he does.

3. What The Hell Do I Just Do?

Time is running out! Either he is going to spot you awkwardly hiding behind that plant, or he’s going to not see you and go on with his life. But you are desperate to talk to him… aren’t you?

4. Calm down! CALM DOWN!

You feel the onset of an anxiety attack. You’re dying to talk to him! But you can barely compose yourself well enough to even come out from behind that plant! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!? Panic, so much panic.

5. DAMN! Did He See Me?

*Heart stops*

6. Can’t Look At The Ground, Then He’ll Know I’m Awkward

I was looking at everywhere else apart from you before you looked in this direction anyway.

7. PHEW! He Didn’t See Me…

Now you can now stare at him in peace.

8. Wait. Who Is He Talking To?

Is that the girl who keeps posting on his Facebook? Are they friends or? She’s too pretty to just be friends with him. He’s beautiful… they’re probably dating.

9. Sudden Onset Of Overwhelming Heartbreak

*weeps*

10. HEY!

That sounds like his voice. Was that at me?

11. OH GOD is he…he's walking over!

Act cool.

12. OMG HE WANTS TO TALK TO ME

*Internal high-pitched screaming*

13. WTF I Am I Gonna Say!?!

Maybe he does love me and he just doesn’t want to tell me, yet.

14. No, No Something Else!

Maybe, not that, either…

15. Ok, Just Be Coooool

I can totally be cool. Born cool. So cool. OH GOD WE’RE SHARING THE SAME SPACE.

16. When You Go To Talk

Hold it together woman.

17. All You’re Thinking About When He’s Talking To You

He’s so pretty.

18. “Well I’ll Catch You Later, Nice Talking.”

That went ok right? Time to come down from the emotional roller-coaster and day dream about your babies together.

7 misconceptions many men have about women

Uncategorized

Sep 23, 2014

by Amber Saunders

It wouldn’t be fair to say that all men have these misconceptions but they’re common misconceptions all the same.

1. All women are good cooks
Contrary to popular belief, women are not born with this talent. And we don’t look like this when we do cook.

2. Women know exactly how to wash every different kind of material
Many women just tend to take care of their clothes better and so learn this knowledge along the way.

3. Women love eating salads
There's many men who like eating salads and many women who hate it.

4. All women love romantic comedies
Fact: so do guys. Stop lying.

5. A women will automatically want to be your girlfriend after you have sex
So offensive. You think you're the only one who enjoys sex? Think again, buddy!

6. Women are the Antichrist when they have their period
No, you’re just incompetent half the time and our patience runs out after around 4 weeks of it.

7. Size matters
Nope. As long as you know what your doing in every other area, the size really, really does not matter.

8 things guys look for in a girlfriend (as told by a guy)

Relationships

Sep 18, 2014

by Amber Saunders

What are the qualities guys look for (but never openly talk about) in a girlfriend? Men are simple creatures but it’s a mystery to most girls because the male population generally don’t like to let out any of their insecure thoughts, feeling or emotions. Here are some qualities many guys will look for in a girlfriend: Checklist!

1. She takes an interest in your hobbies
She knows that you play guitar, listen to a particular type of EDM music, play for a rugby team and asks about your hobbies, even if she is not particularly interested in them.

2. She can be more fun than one of your best guy friends
You can have just as much fun, if not more, with her as you can with your closest friends. Now there’s a huge sign that she’s a keeper.

3. Her dad really likes you
Her dad thinks that you’re doing something right and feels at ease knowing that you’re with his daughter. You don’t mind watching football with him or hearing his stories of when he was your age. He might have even mentioned to his daughter a couple of times that you guys would make a great couple.

4. She imitates you, and she does it well!
She notices subtle yet simple things that you do or say, and does a cute impression of it. People who really like one another become incredibly observative of what the other is doing. She may have noticed things about you that nobody else has ever brought to your attention.

5. She boosts your confidence
She pays you sweet compliments and always makes you feel good about yourself, and not because she feels like she has to. She does it because she wants you to know how she feels about you.

6. She makes you smile
As cheesey as it sounds, you can’t help but crack a broad grin the moment you see her. Try and fight it next time and see – you won’t be able to keep it in!

7. It’s so natural and easy to have a good time with her
It’s so effortless to have fun with her. There’s no forced awkward conversation between you and you vibe and bounce off one another so naturally. In essence, she’s like your best friend, but you’re also really attracted to her.

8. She pushes you to be successful
She motivates you to strive to be the best you can be. She is always there for you when you need a pick-me-up and only ever contributes to your overall happiness and confidence. She never puts you down.

13 things all guys will lie about at some point

Uncategorized

Sep 12, 2014

by Amber Saunders

There are some things that guys just don’t say because they know what the repercussions will be. Whether it’s just to their friends or their girlfriends there is a lot that guys lie about. If it’s with their mates, it’s usually just trivial details that they lie about, but if it’s to their girlfriend then they will lie just to keep the peace. Here are the things that guys will always lie about.

1. How much they’ve had to drink
If they get particularly drunk one night, they’ll always try particularly hard to hide the fact that they are. They will say that they had one or two, when in reality it was 6 pints, three jägarbombs and a naggin of vodka.

2. How many times they go to the gym
Whether it’s to their mates or when they are trying to impress a girl, they will always fabricate the little details. Even though they seem to always be carrying a gym bag around with them it doesn’tnecessarly mean that there are going to the gym all time. They want to give off the impression that they have a healthy lifestyle, which they do, but maybe not to the extent that they say.

3. How many girls they have slept with
Well, this is quite an obvious one, guys will always stretch the truth in terms of how many girls they slept with. If they say it to their mate, they will greatly exaggerate it, but if it’s to their girlfriend they say less. Either way guys will always change the number.

4. Whether or not you look fat in that
You really shouldn’t ask a guy this question in the first place, but even if they think a certain dress makes you more filled out they won’t say it. Guys will never say yes to this question unless they are gay or are a platonic best friend. If a guy is in anyway romantically linked with a girl the answer will always be no.

5. How busy they are
A lot of the time thought it basically means that they would just rather be alone. Sometimes they just need a little me time, which basically means watching football or playing the Xbox.

6. How interested they are
If a guy has to actually say “That is really interesting” it means the exact opposite of that. When they say it, it means that they have zoned out and have completely lost interest in the conversation. If they were actually interested in the conversation they would contribute to it.

7. Where their career is going
Guys will always pretend that there is some direction to their life, when someone asks what are you going to do after college it’s always hard to answer. Usually we just say something we’re interested in and not what we are actually going to do, which is sit at home in our pyjamas watching Breaking Bad all day.

8. If they like your friends or not
You don’t get on with everybody you meet, but if a girl asks a guy what he thinks about her friends he will always say he likes them. Most of the time there are always one or two that they don’t like, but they will never say it. It’s all an attempt to keep the peace and to not stir up any unnecessary drama.

9. How tired they really are
When a guy says he is tired, they just say it so they can get ourselves out of doing something. Fact.

10. If they’re actually listening to you
If a girl asks a guy if he was listening, then he was most definitely not. Girls can sense when guys are thinking about something else while they’re talking.

11. That they would rather be with you
Sometimes they might say they would rather be with their girlfriends when if fact all they want to do is hang out with the lads.

12. Why they didn’t text back
A lot of the time they have every intention of texting back and then their minds wanders and they completely forget about it.

13. How much they think about sex
It's a LOT, basically.

6 reasons so many women love a bad boy

Uncategorized

Sep 9, 2014

by Amber Saunders

We know they are bad for us and it will lead nowhere good and they won't ever change and blah blah blah… but there are so many reasons women love a bad boy. Like these:

1. They are confident

Bad boys wouldn’t be able to pull off half their antics if they weren’t brimming with confidence.

2. They are indifferent

They just don’t give a damn. Rule books are not applicable to them and when it comes to getting things done, it’s either their way of the highway. You can’t expect to change him, or set him straight as he makes his rules and believes that life is to be lived on the edge. Take it or leave it, that’s the attitude they flaunt and it’s massively sexy. For a while anyway.

3. They are exciting and adventurous

Among the most prominent characteristics you’d find abundantly in bad boys is their love for excitement and adventure. Bad boys are always testing the boundaries and pushing the envelope when it comes to their life and women just can’t get enough of this attitude. They find it intriguing and extremely exciting.

4. They are challenging and mysterious

Remember, if your behavior becomes routine, women are bound to find you boring. Women want men who are a challenge. As for the mysterious streak, contrary to popular belief that women want dates booked in, a little bit of the the guessing game actually gives us a high like no other.

5. They are very masculine

This often goes hand-in-hand with being confident, indifferent, exciting, adventurous etc. Bad boys are often rugged and in-control. That doesn’t mean that they are controlling, they just know how to get what they want without breaking into a sweat. They speak clearly and confidently, they look you in the eye, they are passionate about what they believe in. Most importantly, they still know how to treat a lady and make her feel good. To them the latter is a mastered skill.

6. They make you feel like the only girl in the world

Just don't be fooled into thinking you are…this is a bad boy we are talking about, remember?

13 traits of the perfect man

Relationships

Sep 5, 2014

by Amber Saunders

It's hard to find the perfect gentleman, but we are positive he's out there. He just needs to do all of these things to sweep us off our feet:

1. Comment On Our Appearance (Positive Only, Obviously)

Even after two or three years, this will still go a long way.

2. Celebrate The Little Things

We don't want men to remember that first time we held hands or anything, but a sweet gesture to remind us that they remember little things would be nice.

3. Do Not Point Out Our Flaws

You don't think we realise our brows haven't been done for weeks?! We're poor!

4. Don’t Talk About Your Exes (Especially If They Were Really Hot)

We probably know everything there is to know already, on account of the fact that we’ve stalked her numerous times on Facebook. Never, ever underestimate a woman’s stalking skills. She probably knows more about her than you do.

5. If She’s Acting Crazy, Buy Her Chocolate Stat

It's our currency.

6. Don’t Forget To Randomly Text Us From Time To Time

It’s all too easy to take your other half for granted when you’ve been together for a long period of time, so touching base every now and then is imperative. Just a funny little text will do the trick and get you back on her mind in no time.

7. Don’t Ever Comment On Our Hot Friends

Because that is a very good way to lose a part of your special anatomy.

8. Do Not Attempt To Put An Ugly Picture Of Her On Facebook

We get that men do this to other men and even women to other women, but what the hell would posses you to do it to your girlfriend? You are not Ashton and she is not Demi and it’s not funny or cute. Not acceptable. Ever.

9. Never Disrespect Our Parents

They made us, therefore you should automatically be grateful to them. Make an effort and inquire about them from time to time, that’s all it takes.

10. Leave Us To Shop Alone

There’s nothing more annoying to women than having an annoying man following us around grumbling about being bored, when all we want to do is buy three dress for €40 and rejoice. Do us both a favour and go wait in the pub.

11. Surprise Her Every Now And Then

There’s a certain element of getting into a routine when you’re in a long term relationship, so instead of spending another weekend in the pub together, surprise her with a little treat, a date night, a weekend away, a new sex move or whatever else it takes to put you in the good books. Whatever it is that you do will show that you’ve put thought and care into it and that’s a massive plus in our eyes. Honest.

12. Our Space Is Not Messy, It’s Organised Chaos

For some reason most women , are slightly messy. Some of us might be totally neat, tidy and into our appearance on the outside, but step into our rooms and you’ll be greeted with a wall of crap. Don’t mouth off about it, it’s our mess and we’re happy with it. Unless you live with us, in which case, it’s only changing if you’re happy to clean it up for us.

13. Support Us, No Matter What

That’s what you’re there for, after all. If she’s feeling down, cheer her up. If she’s quiet, talk to her. If she’s having family problems, be there for her and if you’re the reason she’s upset, then change your bad habits before she changes her boyfriend. Above all, be her shoulder to cry on and her solid support system. Remind her why she loves you and you’re on the right track.

8 of the stupidest things a guy can ever say to a girl

Uncategorized

Sep 5, 2014

by Amber Saunders

There are some things us girls just do NOT want to hear from boys. Here they are:

1. “You’re wearing too much make up”
We KNOW you prefer us without make-up which means we aren't doing it for you, we're doing it for ourselves (ok, other girls).

2. “You’re pretty clever…for a girl”
Excuse me, do you know who run the world? That's right, girls!

3. The answer “Yes” to the question “does my bum look big in this?”
Have you EVER seen any movie EVER?!

4. “Girls have it easier”
Do you know what we have to put up with?! A few perks is exactly what we deserve.

5. “Yeah, you could do with losing a few pounds”
Any guy that says this shouldn't be within a ten-mile radius anyway so steer clear!

6. “You should talk about sex more”
Code for: "We should have more sex."

7. Openly slate women drivers in front of another woman
*Sigh*

8. “You should be flattered I’m stalking you”
SWIPE SWIPE SWIIIPE!

Men try make-up for the first time!

Sep 2, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Well, it’s about time men got the chance to appreciate all the effort we go to when getting ready for a night out! This video shows men trying make-up for the first time – including plucking and waxing – and as one man so elegantly puts it, “it's a huge pain in the ass”.

Well, he got that right! While these men are wearing full on lady make-up, word on the street is that some men are actually fond of a bit of discreet cover up too. There’s even a whole website made to sell make-up to men.

While we enjoyed watching these guys get a make-over, we’re not sure how we’d feel if they kept it up every day!

Brandon Flowers has always been a fan of a bit of gloss!

13 things we say to our boyfriends translated

Uncategorized

Aug 27, 2014

by Amber Saunders

When you’re in a relationship, being yourself and staying true to yourself is key, as unbelievably cheesy as that may sound. It’s far too easy after all, to lose a little part of yourself when you’re trying to accommodate another person into your daily schedule.

As close as you may be, there’s always going to be a tiny little something that you hold back, something that’s left unsaid or indeed, something that’s twisted in order to lessen the side effects (mainly silence) that it may cause. Here are 13 phrases that every couple use and what they really mean. So now you know…

1. “It’s up to you.”

I don’t care enough about this matter to argue, so therefore I’m handing the responsibility over to you in the hope that you will, for once, make the right decision.

2. “I’m fine, ok?”
