If I Could Build the Perfect Guy…
Summer. A season full of music festivals, beach trips, pool parties, and most importantly, romance. Just think about the long list of songs and movies written about summer love. It’s only natural: the combination of tanned bodies, fewer articles of clothing and no homework is a perfect recipe for a flame (or two).
Single Girl Society: Move On Even When There’s Nothing To Move On To
It seems as though most single girls are reluctant to move on from an ex until they have another guy on the horizon thus never really allowing them to heal and find closure. Take advantage of your time between relationships to sift through any leftover emotions. While procrastinating may work for your Economics midterm, it’s not such a good idea in the dating world.

Swiping the V-Card
It’s been hailed as the holy grail of sex: the v-card. Taking someone’s virginity has historically been a much-sought after sexual experience (this is going as far back as Medieval times). The thought of a pure, untouched individual succumbing to your sexual prowess…well, I can see the appeal. However, the build-up in media and society certainly falls short in reality. I should know – I’ve swiped more than my fair share of v-cards.
The Standard of Beauty According to You
On BeautifulPeople.com, beauty is in the eye of its already existing 700,000 members. That’s right, if you want to join the popular dating site, you have to submit pictures of yourself, and the members must vote you in, based on how beautiful THEY think you are. If denied (or kicked out), you’re sent an email that basically says “sorry you’re ugly” and given a number to a hotline where you can chat with a…grief counselor?
Glamour Says The Darndest Things: July Edition
As you can tell by the headlines of this month’s issue, Glamour is reveling in summer superficiality – tips on battling humidity hair, finding the best shorts for your body and a little bit of unnecessary warm-weather specific slut shaming are all present in this issue. Of course, the best part of the issue is the insight into how males feel when they’re naked.
Web Spy: GuySpeak
As college students, we endure challenging classes like calculus, metaphysics and organic chemistry. However, what may be the most challenging subject isn’t even an actual course: the art of trying to understand guys. It’s true, trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on in the male brain can be one of the most confusing, exhausting and emotionally trying tasks that we attempt on a regular basis.
Sex in the News: How Hot Are You?
On a scale from one – ten, how hot are you? Are you a solid eight, a mousy three, or perhaps a bombshell ten? A new LiveScience study reveals that the more you adhere to your stereotypical gender role, you more accurately you know your hotness level.

Single Girl Society: If He Wanted To Be With You, He’d Be With You
So there you are, another Friday night, another Lean Cuisine and bottle of red that you’ve already taken the liberty of gulping down as an appetizer. Content with your night but mostly with your wine buzz, just about to sink into the couch hoping for a marathon of the Real Housewives of Anywhere, your phone’s text message alert rings.
Totally Random Sex Facts
Infographics make things easy for us. That’s why we love them. OkTrends, a site that gathers data from profiles on the dating site OkCupid, has created a merger of two things everyone loves — sex and infographics. This set of charts covers everything from how many times a week students expect to have sex based on their tuition to how often Twitter users masturbate. Oh, and some vegetarian-friendly sex slang is in there somewhere. That’s something we can get down to/spend half an hour scrolling through.
Sexy Time: Cashing In Your V-Card
I was absolutely terrified to lose my virginity. I had built it up in my head to be a significant, life-altering step, one that would cement my status as a sexually desirable woman. It turned out to be a disorienting, uncomfortable, disgusting experience that shook my confidence for months. The guy and I were getting hot and heavy, clothes came off, and suddenly he was penetrating me. I went along with it for literally five seconds, and then I rolled off. That was not what I wanted.
Ask a Dude: Should I Ask If He Likes Me Back?
So basically I’ve never been in a relationship or gone on a date with a guy. Over the years, I’ve liked a lot of my friends but I’ve always been too afraid to make the first move because I feel like they don’t like me in that way. A lot of the time, though, other people can tell that I like the guy but I never bring it up to him directly, and I just always think to myself “well if he liked you, he’d ask you out, it has to be obvious that I like him.”
Friends With Benefits: Is it Actually Possible?
I feel like college women have been debating this issue forever. Is friends with benefits really possible? Can guys and girls remain friends when frisky foreplay and steamy make out sessions replace platonic homework parties and innocent lunch dates?

Dude’s List: 12 Reasons We Wish We Were Women
Last week’s Dude’s List was all about why he likes to be a him rather than a her. However, I not so subtly hinted in that article that every advantage reflects a disadvantage, every strength hides a weakness, and so, this Dude’s List I turn the tables on the boys. This time I go over the top dozen reasons you’ve got it over us. That’s right, I actually went 1 further!
