Here’s the deal: My girlfriend makes a fuss about how I’ve got more girl friends than I have guy friends. It is juvenile and stupid and it’s… basically it’s about Facebook. Having lightly checked she’s right, Whoop-dee-do. I have about 3:2 ratio girl to guy friends on facebook. (HOLY CRAP! BAD PERSON!). She worries about this. She thinks I need more guy friends. And I’ve asked her if she thinks I need more guy friends or if she just wants me to have less friends that are girls so that she doesn’t feel threatened all the time.

“I just think you could use more guy friends.”

Which is stupid. I have 400 million guy friends. The fact that I have 600 million girl friends is what’s getting her. Has nothing to do with how many guys, obviously, it has everything to do with how many girls.

She begs to differ though, so here’s what we’re going to do. You’re going to add me as a friend on facebook. www.facebook.com/calebroy

That’s me. Add me, and at least once a week for… what a month? Please make a comment on my wall about how awesome it is to be a guy and be friends. That’s it.

Example: “Whatssup Caleb! Just being my guy self here! Great to be your friend man!”

This chick monitors my facebook like hell on wheels because she’s paranoid as they get. I just want to even the ratio out, even if it’s meaningless, so that she can get off my back about it. I don’t even hardly talk to half those people anyway.

So hey, add me, like I said I really don’t care who you are, I’ll approve you. And I’ll tell you that you’re awesome too. And maybe… together we can win this war.

Not only are married people more likely to become obese than those who are just dating, but young people who move in with a boyfriend or girlfriend tend to pack on the pounds too.

Before going out with my girlfriend I was kind of obsessed with her. I took pictures I had of her and scanned them into a japanese program that creates a 3d model of her which you can then ummmm… have your way with. Ahem.

I made about 50 different videos with this software, most of them were of her making love and performing oral sex on a 3d model of myself, and sometimes multiple versions of me. Others involved machines….you get the idea.

I eventually worked up the courage to talk to her and we ended up hitting it off and are now a couple, the problem is that she used my computer and ended up finding the vids even though they were buried inside multiple folders. Of course she was pretty freaked out, especially since the titles of the vids were needlessly crude on my part. She said she had to leave and needs some time alone.

Good to see technology enabling new levels of creepiness for lonely guys everywhere.

With no eligible women in his village, Zhou Pin, 27 years old, thought he was lucky to find a pretty bride whom he met and married within a week, following the custom in rural China.

Ten days later, Cai Niucuo vanished, leaving behind her clothes and identity papers. She did not, however, leave behind her bride price: 38,000 yuan, or about $5,500, which Mr. Zhou and his family had scrimped and borrowed to put together.

When Mr. Zhou reported his missing spouse to authorities, he found his situation wasn’t unique. In the first two months of this year, Hanzhong town saw a record number of scams designed to extract high bride prices in a region with an oversupply of bachelors.

Notice that the relationship between financial stability and one’s sex life is markedly different based on the respondents’ age. Dissatisfaction with one’s financial situation doesn’t appear to have any effect on libido, because the younger, financially strapped respondents are having A LOT of sex.

The situation changes rather sharply after age 35, though. Perhaps by that age, financial difficulties make one a less desirable sexual partner. The moral is clear though - If you want to keep the fires burning into your golden years, get your financial affairs together early. (Not too early, though. Right around age 35 would be perfect.)

Age 35 is the transition point for the general population. Segmenting by gender, however, reveals another interesting pattern. For men, the burden of financial responsibility doesn’t become a prerequisite for great sex until the early 40’s. It happens a decade earlier for women – around age 30. Interestingly, this is just after average childbearing age for both groups. (The second inversion for men, at age 80, has a very small sample size so we’ll refrain from reading anything into it.)

There’s the 18-year-old from France asking for $5,000 to $10,000 a month from “a mentor who can provide me with the finer things in life and keep me happy!” And the 49-year-old investor from upstate New York willing to pay $5,000 a month for a “daytime playmate” for “intense connection without commitment.”

… “I get flown to whatever city I want,” wrote a North Carolina college student, who goes by the name gurlnextdoor on the site’s blog, a mix between an online support group and a kaffeeklatsch. “He pays for it, takes me shopping, we talk, laugh, go out to eat and do whatever we want to do for our days together… . I don’t bring up mundane problems about my home life, and he does the same… . If I wanted someone to talk to about my life problems, I’d get a boyfriend or a therapist.”

Watching romantic comedies can spoil your love life, a study by a university in Edinburgh has claimed …They found fans of films such as Runaway Bride and Notting Hill often fail to communicate with their partner.

Probably because they’re too busy eating chocolate and crying in the bath.

Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.

Why are we spending so much money on the War on Drugs, when this is the real threat to society? (via reddit)
