Yeah There's An App For That

I got this in an email and thought it was a joke...but umm they are dead serious...and I, for one, think it's GENIUS

 

TechCrunch's Leena Rao reports "for men looking to have some sort of forewarning of their girlfriend or partner’s “time of the month,” PMSBuddy has got you covered. PMSbuddy’s iPhone app allows users to track the menstrual cycles of the women in their lives in the hope of notifying men and helping them cope with the dreaded PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and its effects."

Great isn't it? As ridiculous as it sounds to a woman, the service is currently being used by over 100,000 people worldwide, via an iPhone app, a website and Facebook widget. PMSBuddy is launching a new version of its iPhone app that will offer push notifications of upcoming PMS and the the ability to locate flower shops near you (via GPS). PMSBuddy will also be rolling out similar applications for Android and Blackberry phones. Does anyone else see how clever this is?? I'm getting a new Blackberry next week and you can bet your bottom dollar that this will be on my phone :)

"And PMSBuddy is expanding to other verticals. The startup will soon be launching Fertility Buddy, which allows women to track when they are ovulating to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of conception. Similar apps to PMSBuddy include MyMate and iAmAMan."

I Need Facebook

I need Facebook so I can shamelessly plug my blog all day everyday, at this point no one is allowed to write on my wall, no one is allowed to see my pictures and I automatically decline all Event invitations because this Facebook Website is out of control. It basically takes "stalking 24/7" to the next level and that's why things like this happen...


To sum things up...
Boy Meets Girl
Boy Likes Girl
Girl Likes Boy
Boy and Girl Date
Girl Doesn't Like Boy Anymore
Girl Leaves Boy
Boy Gets Sad
Girl Meets New Boy
Girl Doesn't Tell Old Boy About New Boy
Old Boy Sees Pictures Of Girl and New Boy on FACEBOOK
Old Boy Stabs Girl 20 Times

Now the worse part about all of this is that at the end of the article they relate two other stories of similar disturbance

"On January 23, 2009, a 41-year-old British man was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison for stabbing his wife, 28, to death in 2008 after she changed her Facebook marital status to "single."

"In 2008, another British man-- a 35-year-old truck driver--was sentenced to life in prison after brutally murdering his estranged wife. She had posted on Facebook that her marriage was over and that she wanted to meet other men, according to the Times Online."

Come On People...Are We Serious Here?

I'm Getting Me An Older Woman

Today was as good of a time as any to blog about the sudden realization that older woman are where it's at. Monday's are always the toughest days of the week to get thru (especially for you people living a "real" life) and because of that I thought these reasons can help jumpstart your day/week/month or even your year to going out and getting what you want.

So for all of my guys out there, whether your are in a relationship or running around town, allow me to point out the top ten reasons why you need to get yourself an older woman.


No.10 - Older women are independent

Older women are typically more comfortable being alone. They’ve spent time in and out of relationships and consequently they know how to get along fine without us by their sides every single moment. Cha-Ching. They know that they don’t need a boyfriend attached to their their side to be happy. This means that older women are less likely to be clingy or needy, which makes them much easier to get along with.

No.9 - Older women are assertive

Older women often have a clearer sense of who they are and what they want. Consequently, they’re less timid when it comes to men and they’re also less inclined to play games. While a woman in her early 20s might waste your time playing hard to get, or trying to make you jealous, a woman even five or 10 years older is more likely to cut to the chase and be upfront about her feelings or lack thereof. Can anyone say "refreshing turn-on?"

 

No.8 - Older women offer good conversation

There’s nothing like going out on a date and having a 45-minute conversation about the Twilight series, followed by a crazy tale about how your date was going to buy this one purse, but instead she didn’t and got this other purse instead.

A good conversation is one of those things we tend to take for granted until we haven’t had one in a while. No one knows that better than I do. Great conversation skills are something that younger women often lack, not so much because they’re women, but mostly because they’re young.

Quite simply, older women have lived longer. They’ve seen things, done things and been places. They have more interesting stories and more experience, and that makes them better conversationalists. Don’t underestimate the importance of talking; it will keep a relationship interesting long after the spark of the initial attraction has faded.

No.7 - Older women have more money

Call me “pragmatic” but the truth is, older women do tend to have more money than younger women. I'm not saying that’s the most important thing to consider when dating someone but come on fellas isn't it a comfort to know that we aren’t going to have to pay for every single date over the course of a relationship. Nor are we going to have to pay her mobile phone bill when her modelling career “temporarily” stalls.

No.6 - Older women have more mature friendships

Younger women are often deeply entangled in cliques. Through texts, phone calls, Twitter updates, Facebook status' and daily e-mails they’re constantly checking in with their girls. In order to become her boyfriend, you have to have the approval of her friends. Before you make plans, she’s got to check with everyone from Laura and Laurel to Carrie and Karen. It can be exhausting.

Older women are often less invested in seeking the approval of their female friends. They don’t need to consult their friends before making even the most minor decisions. Older women are more confident and self-reliant; their friendships are more mature. They’ve had time to sift through the fair-weather friends, the hangers-on and the airheads, and they’ve streamlined their social networks.


No.5 - Older women make better dates

The thing that makes older women better dates is that they have more sophisticated tastes. Plain and simple, older women do grown-up things. They’re not interested in getting stupid drunk and passing out in a bar bathroom. They’re not interested in grinding on a dance floor to obnoxiously loud techno music (although I will frequent the Jersey Shore as long as I live). Older women are past their rebellious phase and over their need to be the center of attention.


No.4 - Older women are less drama-prone

Maybe it’s because younger women experience a lot of firsts that they seem unprepared to navigate life’s twists and turns. First loves, first broken hearts, first betrayals: I suppose it can all seem like too much sometimes. Younger women just always seem to have more drama in their lives than their more experienced counterparts do. Due to their immaturity, younger women tend to magnify the importance of every little thing. When you’re dating a really young woman, there always seems to be a new catastrophe or crisis. It’s really impossible to avoid getting sucked into the drama, pointless as it may seem. Most older women are cooler under pressure; they know how to deal with disasters, and they can often handle them on their own.

No.3 - Older women have more sexual experience

Inferior Sex vs. Superior sex? Pretty Easy right? Older women are better in bed. They’ve gotten over all the little insecurities and anxieties that can negatively impact your sex life. Older women are comfortable in their own skin. Moreover, they know how to make the bedroom exciting and interesting. They’ve graduated beyond the bedroom basics and their experience often makes them more willing to try new things. And if I was young and immature I would have made this number 1 but...

No.2 - Older women have more relationship experience

Older women know how to handle the trials and tribulations associated with relationships because they’ve been through just about all of it before. She’s going to have more realistic expectations. She’s less likely to have a princess complex. Older women are typically more measured and well-mannered in their response to relationship crises, which makes the chances of a long-term relationship with her much better.

No.1 - Older women value your time together

Equipped with a clear sense of what’s really important in life, older women are more appreciative of the time you spend together and they aren’t likely to be reckless with your emotions. And at the end of the day ladies...that's all we want. While younger women often don’t take men, relationships or life in general very seriously, an older woman understands the value of a good man. She’s seen what’s out there, she knows what’s at stake and she’s not likely to take you for granted.





*-Disclaimer-*
So again, this is not a diss to all young ladies out there, because all young women will hopefully one day mature into this heaven-sent, perfect older woman I just described. But do understand, when you want a guy to really settle down and be true to you...these are things that you are going to have to be able to do. Just wanted to give you guys and gals the heads up.

Warning Signs

The only thing worse than having crap a job is looking for a job. Much the same can be said about dating. Men too often put up with a lot of rubbish from women just to save having to start looking again. In my mind, that shouldn't be the case. The longer a man is in this situation, the more he will grow accustomed to the drudgery, leading him to stay in the relationship far longer than its expiration date.

Whether you suspect that you’re in this situation or you know it for a fact, I'm here to introduce you to the top 10 signs you’re too good for her -- and really need to find someone better.

No.10 - You're always dumbing down conversations around her

And it's not just her -- it's her entire social universe. Her friends, her family and her coworkers all seem to have an extremely limited vocabulary, one that contains more four-letter expletives than an episode of Big Brother. In fact her favorite program probably is an MTV Reality TV Show. If your dog can match her wit, it’s one of the signs you’re too good for her.



No.9 - She f*cks like a porn star

Sure, we all have those fantasies, but if your woman is taking you into uncharted territory that has serious repercussions for personal safety, there's a good chance it's a sign you're too good for her. No limits or boundaries in the intimate sphere means serious problems with self-respect and control in general. Sure the sex will be mind-blowing, but you’ll never know where she’s been or even how she learned her maneuvers, which can only mean one thing…

No.8 - None of your friends like her

Your friends don't like her and they seem to have independently verified, double-blind proof, that she's awful. You've spent a lot of time cultivating your social circle to serve as just this type of guard when you're in completely over your head, so trust your safety net. If she can't make simple conversation with your friends, it's a sign you're too good for her.
 

No.7 - You're always encouraging her

If, on a regular basis, you find yourself encouraging your girlfriend to go out and really experience life outside the couch or the high street, you're in all likelihood too good for her. There are certain people who lack ambition or enthusiasm for the future. You're not going to be her catalyst and all you're doing now is wasting valuable energy and focus that you should be spending on your own life. Move on son.


No.6 - She can't pay for anything

When it comes time to paying the bill for a dinner, a movie or just about anything else the two of you are undertaking she is nowhere to be found. There are two types of women for whom this is a problem: The first is just oblivious to the fact that she should actually pitch into the relationship. The second is just without the ability and just doesn't seem (to have any inclination) to have any income. Life's too short to waste time on either of them.

No.5 - She's amazed by what you take for granted

At a certain point in life, certain realities set in and some things are just taken for granted. After college, a paycheck certainly falls into this category. If your girlfriend is dumbstruck by your ability to garner income, you're staring into the abyss of someone who cannot hold a job. This may be a warning sign of future problems. Other things that she’s awestruck by include paying bills, utilities or credit cards on a monthly basis. These should all let you know you're too good for her.

No.4 - She has poor hygiene

If you've noticed on numerous occasions that there is a certain unpleasant odor emanating from your girl, it may be time to move on. Some people are merely untidy while others endanger your health. You can try mentioning in passing that there seems to be something amiss, but by and large, you're going to be facing a recurring and uphill battle if you want her to change.

No.3 - She is devoid of natural curiosity

The universe is a strange and mysterious place. Every day you come across phenomena that nearly cry out for further explanation. At least you thought so, until you met your current girlfriend. If you've been together for a while and you've never heard her mention travel or a book she has read, you're in trouble. Conversations based upon first-hand experience from your day are both powerfully limiting and dull.



No.2 - She gets into trouble with the law

There is a time when authority figures are challenged and boundaries are defined. It's called adolescence. It's when your juvenile record can be sealed and expunged. If she's still shoplifting or she's all too familiar with the local constabulary, you need to ask yourself if you really need the kind of drama she'll inevitably bring. It shows that she hasn't developed a sense of what is right or wrong, nor does she have any respect for the possessions of others.


No.1 - Her best asset is her looks

Relationships are a growing concern. You're supposed to find other qualities that endear her to you beyond the initial physical attraction. If you haven't found anything like that and in fact have found many qualities that the good looks are covering up for, then you're too good for her. You need to move on and find someone else. If you don't, you're selling yourself short. Strike out in a new direction and find someone who is both physically attractive as well as your equal or better in the other 98% of life.


Ladies, get your sh*t together or we're out of here

Why So Cruel?

Women can be cruel, and they often do cruel things to men. Despite their reputation as the fairer sex, when it comes to relationships, sometimes women can be downright nasty. It seems like a reverse sexism started to take hold as the feminist movement came about and equality for women began gaining ground.

Some women use their girl-power solidarity to come to a consensus on what’s socially acceptable for women to do to men in a relationship. They’ve agreed among themselves that these behaviors are perfectly justifiable regardless of how they play with a  man’s emotions or ego.

Here is the Top 10 list of cruel things that women do to men. For those ladies out there that don't like this blog, you either do these things and are in denial or you do these things and are embarrassed.

No.10 - They don’t pick up the phone

You convinced her to give you her number and you’re feeling good about yourself. Your charm and good looks have obviously made an impression on her. Unfortunately, when you try to call, she doesn’t pick up or, worse yet, she’s given you a fake number. Some women will give you their numbers because it’s easier than trying to tell you why she’s not interested. What’s more, in the age of caller ID, it’s easy for her to avoid your calls. At least the women who give you a made-up number are being more obvious about the fact that they have no intention of talking to you again.


No.9 - Use men for free drinks

Some women go out never planning to spend any of their own money on drinks at the bar or club. Instead, they count on their feminine wiles to convince guys to shell out for their libations. Some of these women will take the opportunity of a guy buying a drink for her to begin to get to know him, but others (the cruel variety) will take that drink, flirt a little and move on to the next sucker with money to burn.

No.8 - Use men as placeholders

Maybe you’ve been in a relationship for a while and you notice that her eye is starting to wander. She’s starting more fights with you or not bothering to fight at all anymore. Her friends get quiet when you walk into a room. She’s avoiding your phone calls. Her things are disappearing from your place. The AM article Breakup Warning Signs talked about all these hints that she’s thinking about putting an end to your relationship and, well, they’re cruel things.

If she is a decent person, she’ll just get it over with and dump you already, but if she’s cruel, she’ll hold on to you for a while until somebody new comes along. These girls don’t like to be alone and without a relationship, so instead of putting you out of your misery and ending it, she’ll string you along until she meets someone to replace you. If she’s really cruel, she’ll start things up with him before she’s finalized the breakup with you.

No.7 - Emotionally manipulate men

Men don’t like to see women cry and some cruel women will take advantage of this fact and use it to get what they want. In general, women are much more emotional than men and it’s easy for some women to use a man’s complete incomprehension of female feelings to get something out of him. A few well-placed tears or a temper tantrum and most men will do anything to get it to stop.



No.6 - Use physical violence

Men are usually raised with the idea that hitting girls is a major no-no. Unfortunately, there are some cruel women who use this aspect of a man’s personality to gain power over him. In the minds of some women, it’s perfectly acceptable to slap a boyfriend across the face when he says something to piss her off. Knowing that he would never hit her back, this type of woman feels like she can inflict any kind physical pain on him without fear of repercussion. A man is also less likely to tell someone about suffering physical violence at the hands of his girlfriend if he believes he’ll be thought of as weak or pathetic.


No.5 - Criticize their men in public

A growing trend in television shows and commercials is that of depicting men as bumbling idiots, while their wives and girlfriends are intelligent, in control and flawless. This may contribute to the real life practice of cruel women who criticize and humiliate their men in public places. Women can get away with this in ways that men would never be allowed to. When a woman pokes fun at her man or even soundly debases him, the group surrounding them is more likely to laugh than to be appalled.


No.4 - They don’t disclose their relationship status

You’ve pulled out all your best moves and you seem to be making progress with the cute girl you’ve just met. When you finally get to the point when you feel you can safely ask for her number, she smiles and says: “I have a boyfriend.” That information would have been nice to have at the beginning of the conversation, love. It’s certainly not the worst thing a woman could do to a man, but it is annoying when she lets you assume that she’s available so that she can enjoy your flirtation and flattery.


No.3 - They withhold sex

This is a time-tested, and frequently used, cruel thing for women to do to men. For most men, sex is as important as breathing, so withholding it in order to get something she wants or simply to punish her man for his transgressions is a pretty low thing to do, even if it is effective.


No.2 - They test their men

You’re all ready to go for a night out with your friends, when your girlfriend calls and asks you to change your plans to be with her instead. She doesn’t have any particular reason; she just wants to see you. She knows that you had plans to meet up with the guys, but if you really loved her, you’d come over to her place instead. If her request comes with an “if you really loved me,” then it’s a test. If you choose anything other than immediately rushing to her side, you’re going to fail. This kind of testing in a relationship is indeed cruel and petty.


No.1 - They flirt to inspire jealousy

Maybe she’s feeling underappreciated, maybe you’ve just had a big fight or maybe she just enjoys the tortured look on your face. For whatever reason, girls who flirt obviously with other guys in front of their boyfriends are immature and manipulative.




Ladies, you know that sh*t ain't right...so take it easy huh...
