Men and women are just built differently, it's no secret. They don't always understand us and we don't always understand them, but we wish they would make more of an effort to try to…

Here are seven things our boyfriends don't understand about us…can't live with them, can't live without them!

1. When they like pictures of girls you don't like
"It's just a like." Well if it means nothing then don't do it, you don't need to publicly show appreciation for her cleavage. Simple. It wasn't even a profiler, we have never felt more betrayed…

2. When we're annoyed and they just brush it off
No this is not "grand" I'm trying to be annoyed so please acknowledge it by apologising immediately. Sound hun. 

3. Our love of babies
Alright chill out, just because we say how much we love babies and our voices go unnaturally high, it doesn't mean we actually want one right now. 

4. It is perfectly acceptable for us to find celebrities hotter than them
"He's a celebrity, it doesn't count."

5. It is not at all acceptable for them to find celebrities hotter than us
"Why would you say that? I'm clearly on an equal level of hotness with Michelle Keegan…"

6. They'll be thankful for our giant handbags when they want to put stuff in it
Yes, we do need a pair of sunglasses, 20 tampons, a random apple and our phone charger for a walk to the shop.

7. Yes means no and no means yes
"I can't believe you went out that night when I told you I didn't mind and wanted you to have fun…"

It is completely normal for your boyfriend's friends to get on your nerves sometimes, your friends probably get on his nerves too. Whether it rarely happens, or always happens, here are five times when you were most certainly not wanting to be around "the lads".

1. When your romantic plans are replaced by the dreaded "lads night".
It's cool, not like I shaved my legs or anything…

2. When they mention your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend 
It's even worse when they say they liked her and she was a laugh. By "a laugh" do you mean evil? 

3. When they need him to help them "pull" in a group of good looking girls
"Have fun 🙂 xx" Abort mission, ABORT MISSION

4. When they tell you you're overreacting
Ssshhh, you weren't even there.

5. When they ask what time you're going home so they can come over
Just come over, girls aren't dangerous creatures that should be avoided (not all the time anyway). 

Never fear, ladies, eventually they will start to accept you as one of the lads and once those FIFA dates start you'll be wishing things never changed.  Good luck…

There is nothing worse than the feeling of arguing with a friend. It does happen in most friendships from time to time, but it can usually be easily fixed, depending on the situation. Here are important things to consider when you want to solve a fight with your soul sister and partner in crime. 

Try talking it out
If you want to fix your friendship, don't be stubborn. Try talking it out and be the bigger person.

Try to see things from their point of view
Let them talk and listen to why they are hurt. You may not fully understand it but you have to try.

Don't back stab them
Don't start talking about them behind their back. You're emotional and vulnerable now, but as things cool off you'll regret ever opening your mouth.

Stay off social media
Don't share your current dislike of your friend with the world. This will hurt them further, annoy other people and is not a nice thing to do anyway.

Forgive and forget
Don't bring up past arguments or let this little argument affect your relationship for the next seven years. Learn to let go.

Know when to walk away
If you feel that in general the relationship is toxic, know when enough is enough and be strong enough to walk away and form new friendships.

There are some things girls just don't like hearing, we could have written a book about these things but there isn't enough paper in the world, so instead we summarised a few of them into a short list. Here are 8 things you should never say to your girlfriend. Ever, ever, everrrrrr.

1. “Are you on your period?”
Just go home.

 

2. “One time my ex… ”
Woah, hold up. Unless the end of that sentence is “plummeted back to the depths of hell where she belongs,” then we would prefer it if you could give this story a miss.

 

3. “Aw look at your cute little moustache… ”
Well that killed the mood

 

4. “The dress you wore out last Saturday was nicer”
Alright Ralph Lauren, don’t get your overly worn chinos in a twist.

 

5. “To be fair though, I would”
This was a test, you were supposed to say she looks like a slice of mouldy bread. Compliments are only okay if they are celebrities, and even then you don’t need to openly confess that Michelle Keegan is prettier than your girlfriend.

 

6. “I was out with the lads and this girl kept flirting with me”
“Ha that’s so funny, I'm not even jealous, I was having loads of fun that night too…" 

 

7. “Just leave it”
Leave it? LEAVE IT? Are you hiding something? Why won’t you talk about it? Is she in your wardrobe?

 

8. “Yeah I was telling my friends about how you said..”
Ah here, if I wanted all the lads to know about the things we discuss when we cuddle then I would have just sent a group Facebook message. Must avoid future awkward eye contact with his best friend…

Ross Geller and Rachel Green are our favourite tv couple of all time. Always have been and always will be. Always envied their relationship? That is because Ross was the definition of boyfriend material.

1. They started off as friends even though he always loved her deep down
Nothing builds a good foundation for a relationship as much as a friendship. He made it out of the friend zone. Ross, we salute you

 

2. He genuinely loved her
Soz Emily girl…

 

3. He chased her to the airport
Hands up who would immediately marry a man who did this for them? We would too!

 

4. THE kiss
If this didn’t win your heart, you’re made of stone

 

5. He wasn’t annoyingly macho all the time
We love him for his sweet nature and all of his different interests. Those dinosaurs though…

 

Now where is that tub of Ben and Jerry's…

We go through life making and losing friends, but have you ever wondered if you and your best friend really are soulmates? Here’s how to tell. If a particular friend pops into your mind you know you have found the one.

You give each other “the eyes”
You’re in a room full of people but the moment that one song comes on that reminds both of you of a random memory or past lover you catch each other’s eye across the crowded room and have an emotional moment of eye contact.

 

She’s seen you in every possible state
Whether you’re crying on the bathroom floor of a club or lying in bed dying of severe bloating with your jeans undone after eating the four “share” size bags of doritos, she’s been there. 99% of the time she will probably join you.  

 

She’s loyal to the end
Girl code is your bible, no time for “I’m so sorry, it just happened” if he’s off limits, she knows he’s ALWAYS off limits.

 

She always knows what to say
“Do you think his new girlfriend looks like Cheryl Cole?” “Wellll, yeah but like Cheryl Cole is so 2012”

 

You are waaay too close
You’ve reached that stage where you can be completely yourself as if she’s your sister  “Think I should go to the doctor about it or will it go away?”

 

She’s not afraid to start on your boyfriend when necessary
Sometimes they just need a lecture from a best friend and possible slap to really get the message…

If you find the one, never let her go!

Elite Singles decided to find out which county in Ireland has the most attractive single people – as perceived by themselves that is.

Asking 47,300 single people across the country, the study showed that people in Dublin are the most likely to consider themselves ‘sexy’ – closely followed by Greystones, Limerick, Cork and Galway.

If you’re looking for a more modest single Irish man, you may want to head to Kilkenny, which came in at number 10, followed by Clonakilty in West Cork, Wicklow, Naas and Swords.

Hmm, unfortunately this information can’t tell us if Dublin is where all of the attractive singles are – or just where all of the cocky singles are…

We reckon we'd take our chances in Kilkenny!

Sometimes, no matter how charming a guy is or how attractive we find a potential new suitor, something just doesn't feel right.

Next time you're left in two minds about a new man after that first date, it might be worth checking out the shape of his hands!

New research has shown that men who are polite, respectful and considerate to women generally have longer ring fingers and shorter index fingers. As for men with shorter ring fingers or ones the same length as their index finger, they're often more stubborn, hot-tempered and rude.

The ratio of a man's index finger length divided by his ring finger length (digit ratio) is apparently strongly affected by how much testosterone he has been exposed to in the womb – which can in turn impact on how men treat women in later life.

As part of the study undertaken by scientists at the McGill University in Canada, participants filled out forms for every social interaction that lasted five minutes or more over a period of 20 days, and noted their behaviour during each interaction. 

"When with women, men with smaller ratios [i.e. more distance between their ring finger and index finger] were more likely to listen attentively, smile and laugh, compromise, or compliment the other person," said Professor Debbie Moskowitz, the study's lead researcher.

Overall, the study showed that men with longer ring fingers and shorter index fingers had "more harmonious relationships with women."

So… next time you're unsure about a new man – take a look at those fingers!

Wow, we thought The Notebook's Noah was being romantic when he told Allie he'd written her a love letter every day for a year… but it looks like he has a long way to go to top this!

74-year-old Bill Bresnan has written a love letter to his wife Kirsten every day for almost 40 years, and she has kept every one of them.

Bill says the notes began as small scribbles and doodles on napkins shortly after the couple met while commuting on the same train to work, but that he began writing one every day when they married, almost four decades ago.

"All the letters are signed, 'I love you, my darling' with an infinity sign," Bill told ABC News. "They're essentially a love diary. For example, I could pick out a day in 1982, and it'll begin with the restaurant we ate in or a movie we saw and then a reaction to that."

And what's Bill's secret to  healthy marriage? Good communication – like forty years of letters, for example! "We've never had a fight once in almost 40 years of marriage," Bill said. "We might disagree on something, but we talk about it rather than argue."

Bill says he's never missed a letter – even when the couple are away he'll send postcards or write letters beforehand. "My biggest fear now, given my age, is forgetting — but luckily I'm still pretty sharp," he admitted.

So romantic. Is someone chopping onions in here, or…?!

Ah, boyfriends. The good, the bad and the…amazing! If it wasn’t for those rare amazing breeds, trust us we would have given up on dating long ago!

How many of these lovely characters have you been lucky enough to encounter?

The cringy-teenage boyfriend
This is the one you look back on and cringe to your very core. And so you should. In a very "will you shift my friend" encounter, you guys went out for a whole TWO months! The relationship consisted of texting, ignoring each other in person and meeting up at 3:30pm every day behind the art shed for a shift. True love.

The bad-boy
You worshipped the ground he walked, underage drank and smoked on and thought he was legitimately the coolest human being on the planet. Your parents on the other hand, didn’t agree very much. And guess what? They were right!

The passionate infatuation
You thought it was love because you were actually obsessed with this person. However, the passionate, rage-filled fights eventually took over and it was never going to work. Was it really love, or just lust? You’re still not sure.

The one who got away
This was true love. But for whatever reason, things just didn’t work out for you guys and you often catch yourself thinking about him from time to time.

The one
You may have met him already, maybe not. But you’ll know when you do. What makes it feel so different to your other relationships? Well, it’s that it doesn’t feel different – he’s like an extension of yourself and that’s why it will work.
