How To Date Your New Hampshire Girlfriend’s Sister In Five Steps

There is nothing wrong with dating your girlfriends sister. It’s legal in most countries and if you’re worried about being turned down, statistically, 87 % of all women in the US under the age of 35 would say yes if you do it right ( MNJOASW*, 2008). So, now that we’ve covered the moral issue, lets get down to business shall we.

  • Step One - Be A Straight Shooter
Just keep it simple and ask your girl’s sister to go out with you. Based on the statistic above, if she is 35 or younger, you have 87% chance she’ll agree. This simple line always works: “Hey lets date behind your sister’s back!”. If she hesitates, she’s just worried about her sister finding out. You must swear to her you wont say a word.(Since you’ll probably tell your buddies in the bar, Make sure you swear on her sister- and not your mom). Even if she says yes, you must follow the next four steps.
  • Step Two - Be The Bad Backapge Guy


Girls like that. If she has a dog, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to show her how bad you really are. Prepare a romantic dinner at her place and wait for the dog to bark. When it barks, throw a sharp object at it (which you prepared in advance). Make sure you hit the dog and not the TV set- that can be bad. If you kill the dog by mistake (try not to let this happen), you can always say “ sorry about that honey, but I can make delicious hot dogs HAHA”! This would give you points in two areas, culinary skills and unique sense of humor.
  • Step Three - Eat Like A Real Man
Eat with your mouth open and make sure you make clear noises when you chew. This is especially important at family events.
  • Step Four- Don’t Pick Up The Tab, It’s A Sign Of Weakness.
Ask her to lend you money from time to time- it shows that you have real guts.
  • Step Five- Flirt With Her Best Friend
There is nothing sexier than a man flirting with his girlfriend’s best friend. Based on MBJO**, 79% of women in the US under the age of 42 want a guy to grab their butt in public.

Now that you’ve scored your girlfriend’s sister, you can tell your buddies in the bar. Even if it didn’t work, you can still tell your friends you did it. You can always duplicate your success if she has more than one sister. If she doesn’t, the best friend always has a higher conversion rate of success.

Disclaimer: The writer makes no guarantees for any of this to work. Do not try at home. Not for kids under the age of 12. If you got caught, never admit and blame the sister (something like ” she started”).

Happy Singles Day!


I think we need a “HAPPY SINGLES DAY”.  The holidays are hard for most singles and a time when you feel depressed or question why am I still single. I’m not talking about a day where you stay in bed all day and feel sorry for yourself.  But, a day where you honor your empowerment and singlehood.  It takes 2 singles to make a couple so we all start out backpage single. There is alot of power in being on your own and being successful at taking care of yourself.  The most important relationship is the one with yourself so treat yourself and focus on what you have vs. what you don’t have.


1st vacation with your boy/girl friend


Vacations are a great way to really get to know one another. It’s a time to get away from your daily routine and stress.  No phones ringing is the best ever!  A lot of people are nervous the first vacation they take with the person they’re backpage dating. This is where you see if your mate can relax and just go with the flow.  Some backpage people don’t do well going away let’s say to an island for a week with nothing to do but relax and have fun.  It’s a great test to see each other outside of our normal everyday lives. We are all a little nervous the first time we travel with our new partner. But, hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.

Immature and Hurtful Ways to Leave Your Craigslist Lover

We all know what it’s like to ponder ways of breaking up with someone we’ve been dating and for most of us, we really try to let the person down in the best way possible.  Preferably the way that works best in keeping us from feeling like the worlds biggest pig.

 If you aren’t sure what ways are considered the most immature and hurtful, The Life Hackery has put together a special list of the 50 Most Immature and Hurtful Ways to Leave Your Lover.

 When all else fails, text!

 Given someone has taken the time to put together a list of hurtful and immature ways to break up - what are some ways others have broken up with you that you considered to be best and least hurtful?



One Night Stands Just Got Tougher

Just a few years ago, DNA paternity testing was only available through a special clinic or physician and packed a pricey fee. However, because of scientific advances, individuals desiring a DNA paternity test can get one for use in the comfort of their own home.

The price is, as people can purchase a home testing kit for as little as $20 to $30. Of course, there is the fee for the lab as well in order to get the actual results, which happens in about 5 to 7 days.

Move over Maury Povich, it looks like there’s a new kid on the block that’s going to help in tracking down her baby daddy.

I’m not sure I’d trust DNA in a Box for settling a decision as major as paternity, but hey, who am I to say what’s right.  I would hope I’d never find myself in the position of not knowing who my babies daddy was.

How to Deal With Unrequited Love

Have you ever been in love with someone who just does not love you?  Have you pierced yourself to death, trying to figure out just what you could do, how you could change, what you might say that would make that person fall in love with you?

Being in love with someone who doesn’t love you can be a miserable experience.  It can lead to self doubt, low self esteem, depression, anxiety and emotional baggage that can impact your future relationships.

eHow has a 12 point list on how to deal with unrequited love.  The only problem I see with this list is when a person is already in love with someone who doesn’t love them back - it’s tough to redirect the heart and break free from the love that’s already out of control.

Michelle Trachtenberg Dating Chace Crawford

New “Gossip Girl” Michelle Trachtenberg spoke with Michael Yo and Hyla from “Yo on E!” about her new gig, rumors of dating Chace Crawford, her thoughts on friends Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson and joking about dating co-star Blake Lively.

I still think Chase and Carrie Underwood made a much cuter couple, but if these two are looking for immediate gratification of a close relationship and can’t deal with long distance relationships - this is probably a good move for these two.

Does distance play a roll in who you date or not?  Would you abandoned the one you love to be with the one you can be with?

Experts say, more than 90 percent of people lie in their online dating profiles.

GASP - Can you even imagine?

Women in their twenties and thirties are known to deduct anywhere from five to twenty pounds from their weight, while men tend to lie most often about income, education level and, yes, relationship status.

Those slimy cheating bastards! *hmpf*

Seriously though - for anyone who has been on the dating scene long enough to participate in online dating and personal ads will know they’ve either been the one to lie or they’ve been the one lied to - possibly even both!

From “I’m tall dark and handsome” as written by the short and the stubby from the men - to the “I’m thin and petite” from the rolly and polly women - we’ve seen and heard them all.  So now for your entertainment hop on over to read the 10 most overused online dating lies.

10 Personality Traits Every Great Girlfriend Should Have


Most guys can describe the physical characteristics of their ideal girlfriend. They have an idea of her height, body shape, and hair color. But once you find that girl, you have to ask yourself if she has a great personality. Or is she spoiled, uncaring, and irresponsible? Here are 10 personality traits every great girlfriend should have:

A sense of humor


A good girlfriend will find her man funny and laugh at his jokes. But a great girlfriend will try to make up her own to make her boyfriend laugh too. If she doesn’t find anything funny, she might be either extremely boring or be prone to having depression. Along with the requisite sense of humor, your girlfriend should laugh at funny movies, like watching Saturday Night Live at least a little bit, and get a kick out of watching stupid YouTube videos.

Compassion

Most women, by nature, are compassionate. This is probably the most common trait on this list.
However, it should not be ignored. Even if your girl has a hard edge to her, she should still be kind to
animals, sweet to children, and respectful to the elderly.

Manners

For some reason, some girls think they are fabulous enough that they can get their way through life
without any manners. Watch out for lack of “please” and “thank you” where appropriate. Other bad
manners are texting in the movie theater, constantly interrupting a conversation, or frequent swearing.
You should never be embarrassed by the way your girlfriend acts in a public place.

Responsibility

Do not get involved with a girl that doesn’t pay her bills, is always a half hour late, and flaky. Your
girlfriend should have a stable job, a decent place to live, and take care of her own problems. If she’s
irresponsible in other areas of her life, she might not place high importance on her relationship. If she
can’t take care of her own problems, she probably will ask her boyfriend at some point to help fix them. Along with being responsible, she should be an honest person.


Values Education

Watch out for girls who don’t think education is important. Not everybody needs to go to college to be successful in life. But if she dropped out of high school and is determined to be a student of life, heed caution. If you marry a girl that is a high school dropout, it is unlikely that down the line as a parent, she will place a high value on education. She should be able to print neatly, type without looking at the keys, do simple math, and carry a conversation. If she didn’t go to college or doesn’t want to, find out why.

Goal-Oriented

Goals are important for anybody. You should have your own goals for your future, and your girlfriend
should have her own. If she doesn’t have an idea of what kind of life she sees for herself in ten years, be careful. Part of having a strong relationship is setting goals as a couple. You should not need to explain to your girlfriend what goals are and why they are important.

Cleanliness

Every girl should have some sense of personal pride. She should shower daily, know how to style her
hair, and look presentable. To most girls, this comes naturally. But like the compassion trait, it should not be overlooked. You don’t want to be in a relationship with somebody who does not wash her hands after using the restroom.

Active Lifestyle

Your girlfriend’s activity level should be close to your own. If you enjoy hiking, camping, and working out, she should too. You should both equally enjoy every activity you do together. On the other hand, if you both enjoy playing board games or going to the movies on a Saturday afternoon, that’s fine too.

Respect for the Environment

These days, being “green” is not a trend, it is a lifestyle. Your girlfriend doesn’t need to drive a hybrid, but she should care about the planet. Littering, throwing cigarettes out the car window, or wasting resources are not attractive qualities. Caring for the environment is an important trait that goes along with compassion and respect.

Money-Wise

Your girlfriend should have her own bank account and source of earned income. She should be able to save, budget, and really understand the value of a dollar. Her boyfriend is not a bank and should not be expected to pay for everything. If you pay for meals or activities, she should always express appreciation and not take these things for granted.

51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse

For what experts say is probably the first time, more American women are living without a husband than with one, according to a New York Times analysis of census results.


In 2020, 51 percent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000.

 This article in the NY Times goes on to list several factors they believe to be causing this shift including the fact that women are living longer than their spouses and don’t remarry - as well as women are waiting longer to marry to begin with.

 Being a part of a successful marriage has a number of challenges, I won’t lie!  But I don’t think I’d want to become a part of the aforementioned statistics should anything happen to my husband.

 If you’re a single woman and reading this, would you mind chiming in and letting us know why you’re single?  By choice, haven’t found the right man, not looking at all?  What?

Do guys really want an old-fashioned wife?

I’m in the process of conducting a bit of a ‘non-scientific study’ for someone who recently proposed the question on whether or not men genuinely want to end up marrying an old fashioned kind of girl.

We’ve all heard it from our mother’s and grandmothers - but then again, we all know that ‘times change‘ - right?

I took my little investigation over to a forum where a diverse crowd of singles tend to hangout.  After presenting the same question there, I was able to draw my own conclusion from the small percentage of men and women who actually responded.

What I’m seeing is that women are the ones that want to be old fashioned - the stay-at-home-mom and housewife - while men seem to want their wife to have some sort of marketable skill and to help out with the family finances.

Is that a safe assumption?

What are your thoughts?

Men And Calendars

I am not talking about work calendars here. I am sure guys take serious care of their meeting schedules. However, when it comes to anniversary, birthday, Valentine’s day or even Christmas season, it seems that guys don’t necessarily treat these dates as important as their performance review dates.

A few friends complained that their guys forgot about V-Days, B-Days and other important dates. Or, they did remember but didn’t think it was necessarily to give any gifts. I know what women would say, “What?! That would just piss me off!”

Men and valentine

Again, it’s that tricky DNA difference causes both genders to view these dates from completely different angels.

I am a woman so I can definitely speak from a woman’s perspective. We use these dates as some sort of “test” to measure how much our men value our relationships. It is not necessary about how expensive the gifts are. It’s about that thought and how much effort the guy has put in. For example, a diamond necklace wins a huge smile, however, a home made gourmet dinner made by the guy who doesn’t know how to cook will win his woman’s tears. Again, it’s about thoughts and efforts. Of course, some women view the amount of cash equal to the amount of efforts. I guess that’s why the diamonds are always popular in all occasions.

Men, on the other hand, hate these dates, mostly because of the pressure of getting the perfect gifts. They want to make their women happy and pick the perfect gifts but not sure if they are doing it right. So they secretly hope these dates will just come and go quietly.

The worst men can do on these big dates are exactly what men want to do: nothing. I bet if the guys talk to their women (unless your girl is an evil gold digger), most of them would say, “Just get me anything.”

But that “anything” might still puzzle a lot of not-so-shop-savvy male shoppers. Tomorrow, I will run a list of easy-to-get gifts that will make your women happy. Stay tuned…

After Intimacy He Said He “Wasn’t Expecting THAT”


After hitting the sack with her potential paramour, a reader named Jess gave her an intriguing response, and she’s looking for a manslation to try to figure out why. So — why would a man, after sex (in which he participated) say, “I wasn’t expecting that”?


Could be a couple of things. Let’s see if we can figure out which one it is.
Hey Jeff,
I’m a sex-positive kinda girl, never got too hung up on the right number of dates before sex (yeah, ok, first date if the mood was right), have lots of tales and very few regrets.
Freaking hurray, yahoo, and huzzah for “sex-positive.” People would have so much more fun if they’d just have more fun. Safety first, mind-blowing fun second. Puritanical prudery, like, 900th.
Several times, I got a response from a guy that just baffled me, tho, so I just gotta ask.
Hey, if it’s only several times that you were baffled, bravo. Personally, I spend the vast majority of my day baffled.
Now, I’ve been known to INSPIRE unexpected behavior, but I am not a dominant and I certainly never forced a guy to do what he didn’t want to do. It’s a go-with-the-flow thing for me, if I’m feeling it. Which means, while I will enthusiastically meet him halfway, I typically let him initiate.
SO - what does it mean when he says, afterwards, “I wasn’t expecting that” ?
Ah, the oooold, “What the hey!? How on EARTH did THAT get in THERE?!”
If I had only heard that once or twice, I wouldn’t think twice, but I’ve heard that, well, more than once or twice :)And it always put me off. Like, he didn’t know foreplay might lead to sex?
Nope.
Like, he’s disappointed I said yes?
HEAVY on the nope.
Like, I went from madonna to whore?
Nah, I don’t think anyone still currently alive has this archetype in their head. If anyone ever did.
Like, I was the only one there?
This one, I don’t follow. But it’s not that either.
Or what??? When I hear this, it feels like he’s trying to weasel out of some kind of responsibility for Something .
I think we might have a winner. More in a sec…
… and I thought we just had a good time. There’s no one around the corner with a shotgun, dude…
Oh, like you know that for SURE?
On one occasion, I heard it BEFORE the deed. Seemed somehow to make a positive difference.
Interesting. And your gut reaction was likely right. A guy says, “I wasn’t expecting we were going to do what we’re about to do,” and it likely means that he’s psyched to go through with it. A guy who says it afterwards likely didn’t say SQUAT beforehand, for fear of spooking the prey.
Now, I have a not-boyfriend who’s my kinda guy… we giggled through the morning after sex (what was your name again?), and three months later have survived our mutual commitment-phobic hysteria, with, you guessed it, break-up sex, no wait, make-up sex. Never once have I heard “I didn’t expect that” from him, so this is not a current crisis. Just a curiosity.
Dear Jess,
Well, as I indicated above, I think your gut reaction was likely on the money. Not just because of my own experience with this phrase, but because you said that it was “off-putting.” I trust your instinct on this one. I mean, is it possible that a guy would say this and it wouldn’t mean he’s trying to back out the door? Of course, sure. He could just be informing you of his lack of precognition, sure. And there are some situations where a guy just wants to let you know that he wasn’t trying to pressure you or anything.
But not mostly. Lots of times, this is one of those code phrases.
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED…AND…UH…IT MIGHT NOT CALL
The manslation of “I wasn’t expecting THAT” after sex is usually that his brain is scrambling for the right thing to say. His mind, in these cases, is working overtime because his expectation is that for most women, sex = commitment (of some kind or another.) Right or wrong, that’s what a lot of guys think.
(Now, in your case, it happens to be wrong. You do it when you feel like it, and there may or may not be ANYthing attached to it besides the fact that, you know, sex is FUN. Which, you know, bravo YOU.)
Anyway, when a guy says this, it’s basically a VERY non-committal way to say, “Gol-ly, ma’am! That sure was fun!” even if he isn’t Gomer Pyle. He wants to let you know:
a.) He enjoyed it,
b.) He wasn’t expecting it, but most importantly
c.) Because he wasn’t expecting it, he should be given status as an innocent bystander of YOUR intention to have sex, and should therefore not be expected to maintain anything.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU NOW KNOW MORE THAN HE DOES
Ten bucks says that most times the guy who says this has zero clue that this is what’s happening. It’s yet another one of those moments where he’s talking, but even HE isn’t listening. Follow his lead — don’t listen. This phrase doesn’t mean what it says, so don’t even listen to it.
Good luck, Jess. Sounds like you’ve found yourself a guy who DOES expect it, and I’m guessing he gets it, so forget all about this phrase. But if you hear it again, have some fun and say in your best Beverly Hillbillies accent, “Gawrsh, me neither. Ah guess we’d best get down to the preacherman ‘n git hitched right quick a-fore muh pappy gets home!”
Oh ladies…ever heard this one? Did the guy stick around afterwards?
