Women and Relationships

This is so interesting! I’m shocked by some of it!!!!

The jury is out for women when it comes to who pays on a date:
33% of you expect the guy to pay for most dates, but a significant number of you ( 38%) feel it should be 50-50—he should pay half of the time, and you’ll pay half the time.

“The Rules, According to Facebook” aren’t yet established:
38% of you are fine with your boyfriend/husband friending an ex on FB, but another 27% say it’s okay only if you’ve met the ex before. And 34% say it’s not okay with you for your guy to friend an ex at all.

Online dating has lost its negative stigma.
31% of you have met a guy online and of those, 12% have gone on to have a relationship. And 22% of you say you definitely wouldn’t rule out the internet as a way of meeting guys.

Could it be the economy?
A sizable majority of you—73%—are perfectly comfortable if your guy makes less than you do. And 12% of respondents are already in a relationship where you make more money than your guy. But there are still the traditionalists: 25% of you feel that the ultimate status symbol is a successful husband or boyfriend. And “being dominated” ranks as your top sexual fantasy—35% say it’s the sexual act you most often fantasize about.

But you’re getting a little sick of the Man-Child.
When you were asked what you’d change about your guy, 11% had issues with your guy’s laziness and lack of ambition.

And if you’re making the money, he can pick up the slack…
53% of you would want your guy to take a male birth control pill if one existed. [And the good news is, researchers are currently testing a four-times-a-year birth control pill for guys that kills sperm before one reaches an egg. While we don't think it'll be in drugstores anytime soon, we'll keep you posted on the progress.]

You’re forgiving of your honeys:
Only 20% of you would dump a boyfriend if he got fat, and only 18% of you want your guy’s penis to be bigger.

But that doesn’t mean your guys don’t have to watch out.
26% of you have, at one time or another, fantasized about your boyfriend or husband’s friends. As for full-on cheating, 12% of you would be tempted to cheat, as long as there was no way of your guy finding out. And many of you—13%—know someone who has actually set up a secret Facebook account to conceal a relationship from your S.O. Another 13% of you know someone who has used the internet to cheat, through a service such as AshleyMadison.com.

And that’s not all you lie about:
35% of you have lied about the number of sex partners you’ve had, and 54% of you have faked an O. But 85% of you would be offended if your guy faked an orgasm with you—we think that’s known as a double standard, ladies!

Kat Von D Walks Off Set

I think she’ll defend anything of course, but I think she’s a loose cannon. She’s definitely loose lipped.

This story is just getting more and more heated.

After Kat Von D fired back at producers of talk show Good Day L.A. for slamming her for walking off their show, she’s backing up her claim that ignored her one and only request.

Producers of the show say that Kat only asked that they didn’t bring up Sandra Bullock, which they didn’t do. However, she says that she asked them to not bring up her breakup with Jesse James in their introduction, which is the one thing they DID do.

Kat apparently saw the teleprompter before walking out live on air and asked a producer to change the wording “very politely.” When producers ignored her request, she left the show. Kat added, “I have no interest in going back on, but I wish them all the best.”

So, basically it’s a game of “he said she said.” Producers were given the OK to ask about Jesse James and were even given the clip of Kat getting a tattoo of his face by her own people! No matter what, it’s pretty unprofessional to just walk out of an interview, especially just moments before it goes live on air.

Are you turned off by happy guys?

I’m a happy guy… what are you trying to say?!? -Amateur Alex

Find yourself attracted to brooding, melancholy, Ethan-Hawke-in-Reality-Bites types? Or perhaps surly, swaggering Romeos? According to a new study reported by ScienceDaily – “Happy Guys Finish Last, Says New Study on Sexual Attractiveness ” – you’re far from alone.

The study, from the University of British Columbia, found that women were more likely to find men attractive if they appeared proud or shameful than if they were smiling and appeared happy. Writes the ScienceDaily reporter: “In a series of studies, more than 1,000 adult participants rated the sexual attractiveness of hundreds of images of the opposite sex engaged in universal displays of happiness (broad smiles), pride (raised heads, puffed-up chests) and shame (lowered heads, averted eyes). The study found that women were least attracted to smiling, happy men, preferring those who looked proud and powerful or moody and ashamed. In contrast, male participants were most sexually attracted to women who looked happy, and least attracted to women who appeared proud and confident.”

(It’s a bummer that men rejected women who appear confident, but I’ll leave you to grieve that on your own while I return to the whole happy dude thing.)

I have a long-standing personal history of dating weirdos – which I’m trying to break, I swear – so I don’t know if I’m the best person to weigh in on this. But I do know many women who have passed up perfectly nice happy guys for the more moody, less available variety. The study’s authors suggest that “females are attracted to male displays of pride because they imply status, competence and an ability to provide for a partner and offspring.” (Although, to be honest, I wouldn’t be thrilled with someone completely grumpy hanging around my cave all day, no matter how many pelts he brought home after a hunt.) Smiling has also been associated with a lack of dominance – which, some say, defies the traditional pairing of vulnerable woman and powerful man. (Plus, apparently previous research has suggested that smiling is considered a feminine trait.) And as for shame, it apparently confirms the narrative of woman as caregiver for bruised and slightly difficult man.

But here we’re talking not about love, not about long-term relationships but about sexual attractiveness. And who among us can admit that they haven’t occasionally been seduced – or at least tempted – by a jerk? You might not want him to stick around in the morning, but apparently you can always just blame a night of passion on evolution.

Halle Berry’s Stalker Pleads Not Guilty

 I can’t believe he’s actually pleading “Not Guilty” about any of this!

Image via TMZ 

 Prosecutors ain’t finished with him yet — because two weeks after Halle Berry‘s alleged house invader pled not guilty to felony stalking … the D.A. hit him with a burglary charge to boot.

As we previously reported, Richard Anthony Franco pled not guilty to felony stalking after allegedly hopping the wall behind Halle’s house earlier this month — but this morning, the D.A. charged him with one count of residential burglary as well.

Franco pled not guilty once again — and was ordered back to court on August 4.

If convicted, Franco faces up to six years in prison for the burglary charge alone.

Chris Brown Has A New Female Star In His Sights

 Look out Kelly Rowland!!!! You’re next… just kidding. But seriously, will anyone ever forget the Rihanna incident with Chris Brown?

We’ve said this before, and we’ll say it again: we hope Chris is able to behave himself.

Kelly Rowland has JUST announced that she’ll be going on tour with Chris Brown this fall, and she seems pumped about it:

“I’m also going on tour with Chris Brown in September. I’m so excited about that.”

Here’s what Chris had to say about it on Twitter:

“Me and Kelly Rowland  along with other incredible artists are going on tour!!!! I’ll let u know who else is on later! Lol”

We wish them both luck with the upcoming tour. Hopefully Kelly will be a good influence on Chris while they’re on the road together?

50 Cent Cancels New Album

Basically, he won’t be releasing an album in stores if he doesn’t do what the label says… he’s under contract!

50 Cent has canceled his new album because he never wants to work with Interscope records again.

Here are some of his heated tweets:

“Man I’m not releasing a album i can’t believe interscope is this f***ed up right now. I apologize to all my fans (sic).

“I will work with other artist on there projects but I will not put out another album. They dropped the ball with me one time to many (sic).”

“My whole career iv been doing s**t and they have been playing catch up this is the last f**king album THEY BETTER WAKE UP AND WORK (sic).”

“I would rather not launch my album without a plan the whole system is executing. I don’t know why they play with me, they know how I get (sic).”

Oh shizz! And that’s not it — he’s threatened to leak Dre’s new single!

“I LOVE DRE but I’m putting his next single psycho out tomorrow at 2:00 #SK. Your gonna love it its a big song I just don’t think it deserves a great set up sense they can’t seem to get it right when it comes to me (sic).”

What?!?!

That would be crazy if he admitted to his own hand in the leak!

Man Wakes Up In Morgue

I bet the man couldn’t sleep. I wouldn’t be able to for a while after this!!!

JOHANNESBURG – A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge — nearly a day after his family thought he had died, a health official said.Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said Monday that the man awoke Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack.

Morgue owner Ayanda Maqolo said he sent his driver to collect the body shortly after the family reported the death. Maqolo said he thought the man was around 80 years old.

“When he got there, the driver examined the body, checked his pulse, looked for a heartbeat, but there was nothing,” Maqolo told the Associated Press.

But a day after staff put the body into a locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone shouting for help. They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.

“I couldn’t believe it!” Maqolo said. “I was also scared. But they are my employees and I had to show them I wasn’t scared, so I called the police.”

After police arrived, the group entered the morgue together.

“I was glad they had their firearms, in case something wanted to fight with us,” Maqolo said.

He said the man was pale when they pulled him out.

“He asked, ‘How did I get here?’” Maqolo said.

The health department said the man was then taken to a nearby hospital for observation and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.

Kupelo, the health department spokesman, urged South Africans to call on health officials to confirm that their relatives are really dead.

The man’s family was informed that he was alive during a family meeting convened to make funeral arrangements. They’re very happy to have him home, Maqolo said.

But Maqolo said he is still trying to recover from the traumatic experience.

“I couldn’t sleep last night, I had nightmares,” he said. “But today I’m much better.”
