If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Wouldn’t it be great if you could take one look at someone’s face and know if they were relationship material? It turns out that people are remarkably accurate at predicting just that. A study at Durham University in England showed that Boyfriends look significantly different than Players. Check out this example:

At first I thought these [...]

Posted by Susan Walsh on Mar 12, 2009 in Girl Talk, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

There’s a new website called Kiss and Dish that looks like fun. It’s a place to share stories, commiserate and get advice if you need it. I learned about it in an article at the Ohio State student online newspaper.
Kristen Ricordati and her business partner Daniel Kiepfer started the site where users can share and [...]

He Needs to Date in College So He’s Not a Loser Later

There’s this guy named Joe Webb. He’s a doctoral student at St. Louis University, and he writes a blog for college students that is awesome. In fact, I find much of his information useful and you know I’m waaaaaayyyyyy past that life phase. He is funny and irreverent, two things I hope I am sometimes, [...]

Posted by Susan Walsh on Mar 1, 2009 in Girl Talk, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

 
Ever since I published Are Emo Guys the Antidote to Frat Poison? last week, I’ve been getting some pushback from geeky types and the girls who love them. Hey, I’m game. I love geeks. In fact I married one, sort of. Well…he had been a geek, for sure, but I met him when he was [...]

When it comes to perpetrating the hookup culture, one needs only to look to America’s frats to get a close-up of the perps. If it’s wearing a double-popped collar, it’s probably looking for a hookup and little else. He’s a frat god, frat star, frat-tastic! He may be busted, he may be wearing a layer [...]

“Pay my respects to grace and virtue

And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You’ve gotta let me go”

Twitter is Blowing Up!

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 9, 2009 in Girl Talk, Tidbits

For the last month, I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around Twitter, and I still haven’t totally figured it out. I’m still super lame at it. But the more I poke around, the more fun stuff I find, and the more fun people I find. There’s a website called favrd.com, and it’s all about [...]

Bros and Hos: Relationship Foes?

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 4, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, Tidbits, What Guys Want

When we want something, we employ strategy to help us get it (hopefully). It might not be a sound, well thought-out strategy, but we choose one path or another. Obviously, our chances for success are greatest if we have considered all the angles. One of the most important factors to consider in any strategy is [...]
