We often complain that parents these days will let their kids do, say and wear just about anything. Where is the supervision, we ask. Who ever would let their tween dress up like a Victoria’s Secret model, we wonder. What the heck is the modern world coming to, we scream! But just when you thought yesteryear held the all the wholesomeness of an Ovaltine commercial, think again. Read More »

Looking for something fun and different for this Friday night? Forget a girls night movie night and forget funneling beers in a frat house basement, because if you’re lucky enough to live in this town, you’re getting BBQ AND a foot massage. Living the life.

Get more WTF Fridays here. Because this world is real messed up.

Cougars. These days, when you read that word somewhere, chances are you’re thinking about the second meaning: a 35+ year old woman who is actively pursuing younger men. It’s a funny, pop-culture obsessed description — some people would even say the cougar label is pro-woman. Older females being appreciated for the beautiful specimens they are! Yes!

Well…some people aren’t so enthusiastic. In fact, three women are so unenthusiastic about being called cougars that they’re suing a TV show for over $1,000,000.

“Attack of the Show,” a reality-based show on G4, went to a SoCal nightclub in 2007 during a segment called “The Great Cougar Hunt.” Three women were featured in the segment, and these three women now claim they never gave permission to be shown on camera nor were they “actively searching for younger men.”

Apparently these ladies have been so mortified, hurt, wronged, etc that they simply cannot go on with their lives until someone pays them a lot of money.

What do you think? Is being called a Cougar hurtful enough to warrent a lawsuit?

I am an expert in awkward situations. When I first meet people, more often than not, I leave a horrible first impression. I am similarly awkward in my attempts to be a part of the dating scene.

Just last week, a coworker exclaimed, “Kathryn, you have no game. Your entire approach is off!” Yes, this is true. But somehow, I still get some action, which is why she followed her (rather harsh) declaration with the question, “How do you do it?”

Still, no matter how many times I’ve immediately wished I could retract the bizarre statement that just came out of my mouth, I’ve also been with, or had friends who have been with, equally hopeless guys.

Reviewing my own traumatic events, as well as some of my friends’ bizarre sexual encounters, I’ve compiled a list of some of the worst things to say during sex. Because I’m a woman, they are written from a female perspective, but each of these can be just as cringe-worthy coming from a guy.

1. “Ohhhh, Michael… I mean… Dan?”

Make sure you know the name of the person you’re inviting past the pearly gates. Calling someone by another name will at once crush your partner’s ego and make you look sleazy. Once, I was hooking up with a guy and he proceeded to pour out his feelings for another girl… and try to get my advice on how to go about courting her. That really sucked, and he was pissed when I cut our session short. Read More »
