Don't get confused here. Since there isn't much interesting stuff going on in life, I'm posting my thoughts on some news articles I came across. (Saving the best article for last, btw)

This is an article I came across about all the troubles women go through to look 'perfect' on their wedding day. It might seem odd to read about...but I can sort of understand. it's like prom....magnified about 100 or so times. Women want straight, white teeth, perfectly styled hair, perfect makeup, nails done (toes and fingers), a nice tan to compliment the white dress, a toned body, perfect skin....they want it all.

this woman (obviously very bitter about something) trashes Miley and compares her to Britney Spears. While I agree with some points she makes in the article (parents that let their kids skip school just to see the Hannah Montana movie need to have their heads examined), other points are just stupid. I dunno. that's really all I have to say about the stupid article. Hardly worth wasting my time reading...but whatever.

New article!
Things a Man Should Never Do in the Company of a Woman:
Reveal how much your car cost.
I personally can't stand it when guys try to impress me by telling me how much money they make. Woo hoo for you. I make money too.
Clean your gun.
Never had a guy do this...although one did try to teach me how to shoot one (I was pretty bad at it).
Polish high school trophies (which you still have displayed).
Yeah...I think this is a good tip. Put away the high school trophies, no matter how "awesome" they are.
Refer to your mother as your best friend.
You and your mom are close? Awesome. If all you talk about is how she's your "best friend," I'm going to think you're a momma's boy. If I think I'll have to spend the rest of my life competing with your mom, I might just find someone else who will put me first.
Rap.
Yeah, don't rap. And honestly, unless you're a really good singer, I wouldn't sing either. Unless we've already declared our love for one another. Some articles say women will like it when guys sing...even if they're off key. I disagree.
Check out our assistant/roommate/the baby-sitter.
Hahaha yeah...this is particularly true if the assistant/roommate/babysitter is a guy.
Question our footwear.
Yes, we know heels are uncomfortable. We still wear them. Deal with it.
Blow-dry your hair.
Uhm. I don't really know what to say about this one.
Tip less than 20 percent.
If the service is really really bad (and we both agree that the service stunk) I think it's okay to leave less. But if you're not happy with the service and your date says "oh, but it's probably her/his first night" or "maybe they're having a bad day" it means "tip them 20% anyway."
Celebrity impressions.
ew. why would you think that's okay?
Impressions of us.
People (usually guys) think my voice is *so* cute/adorable that for some reason they like to try and impersonate me. It's annoying and rude, and most of the time I want to punch the person in the face. Don't do an impression of me. It just pisses me off.
Forget to carry cash.
Yeah....this is a no-no fellas.
Flip it, flop it, swing it around, tug on it, adjust it, scratch it, or do anything that will remind us that it's just a goofy appendage and not a mystical source of pleasure and satisfaction.
Hahahahahaha
Wii.
Unless the girl wants to. I've never played one. Might be tempted to if I was having a 'chill at home and have pizza' night with a guy.
Boot and rally.
Okay. I had to look this up to see what it was. Urban Dictionary defines it as:
v. drink lots, blow the chunks, come to and drink some more
I cannot believe they actually had to put this in here. Do guys actually think some woman is going to say "Oh baby, I love it when you drink until you puke and then drink some more! It shows me you're a real man and turns me on!" Ugh.
Scream—at the dog, at the guy who just stole your parking spot, at Bill Belichick. Because, no matter how much Belichick deserves it (cheater!), when we hear you raise your voice, we have an idea of what we're in for.
Yeah, don't scream. On a side note, when I was in high school, I was in the car with a guy (he was driving) and we were going to turn right (off a fairly busy highway and into my neighborhood)...well, the guy behind us was tailgating a bit...and the guy driving me slows down to almost a stop before he turned into my neighborhood just to piss the guy behind us off. That was not cool, I was not impressed, and he definitely did NOT get a second date.
Talk about former exploits. Ever.
Do you really think girls want to hear about the skanky girl you picked up in a bar a year before you met us? Or that wild and crazy night at the party when you slept with half the cheerleading squad?
Use the words bitch, slut, tramp, or whore, unless referring to another man.
This isn't even ok when you're referring to another man. Don't use foul language in front of us. Imagine a guy taking out your younger sister (or favorite female relative). Act the way you'd want him to act.
Tell us you're going to kiss us. (Just get on with it!)
I don't need a play by play. One guy almost ruined it when we were kissing cause he kept talking. Shut up and kiss me!
