Especially when you have to spend them with your relatives, friends, or significant other. Whether you love them or hate them, you can't avoid them. Or can you?  In this blog post, I will share with you some tips and tricks on how to survive the holidays with your loved ones, or how to ditch them altogether. You can thank me later. Relatives Relatives are the people who share your blood, but not necessarily your interests, opinions, or values. They are the people who will judge you, criticize you, and embarrass you in front of everyone. They are the people who will ask you annoying questions, such as "When are you getting married?" or "When are you getting a real job?" or "When are you getting a life?" Here are some ways to deal with them: •  If you have to visit them, bring a gift to make them happy, or at least ...

I n the realm of dating, there's a mythical creature that has eluded many and perplexed even more—the understanding girlfriend. You know, the one who doesn't raise an eyebrow when your bank account is more barren than a desert, the one who appreciates a night in with Netflix and a bowl of instant noodles as much as a fancy dinner. But, is she really the epitome of a partner's dream, or is she quietly suffering beneath her tolerant exterior? Do guys need to step up their game and shower her with gifts, or should they just appreciate her stoic nature and save some bucks? Let's dive into the enigma of the understanding girlfriend.  Firstly, let's give credit where it's due. The understanding girlfriend is like a rare Pokémon, hard to find and immensely valuable when discovered. She doesn't flinch when you present your wallet containing nothing but moth wings and a lonely spider web. Instead, she suggests cooking dinner together with whatever sad remnants reside...

Today, I want to share with you a topic that's close to many of our hearts: the struggle of wanting a relationship but not actually doing anything about it.   Ah, yes, the classic dilemma of wanting companionship but not wanting to put in any effort. It's like wanting to lose weight but not wanting to exercise or eat healthily. We've all been there, haven't we? Let's start with the obvious: dating apps. Swipe left, swipe right, match, message, repeat. It's like a never-ending cycle of disappointment and boredom. And let's be real, sometimes the idea of going on a date is more appealing than actually going on a date. So we swipe and we match and we message, but then when it comes time to actually meet up, we suddenly become very busy and forgetful.    And then there's the old-fashioned way of meeting people: going out and socializing. You know, actually leaving the house and interacting with other human beings. But let's face it, sometimes our couch a...

Nice time for sure   A s a single guy, going out can be a fun and exciting experience. But let's be real, sometimes it can also be way too uncomfortable. From the creepy pick-up lines to the awkward small talk, the dating scene can be a minefield of cringe-worthy moments. So, grab a drink and buckle up, because we're about to dive into the hilarious world of dating mishaps. First off, let's talk about the dreaded pick-up lines. Now, I'm not saying all pick-up lines are bad, but some of them are just downright ridiculous. "Excuse me miss, are you a magician? Because every time I look at you, everyone else disappears." Really dude? The only thing disappearing is your chance with her. And let's not forget the classic, "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?" Yeah, because nothing says romance like a rehearsed one-liner. Now, let's move on to the small talk. It's always great to start a conversation and get to know s...

  Greetings, dear readers! Today, we're going to take a lighthearted look at the wonderful world of first dates. Strap in, grab a snack, and get ready for some laughs! What a scene! First dates are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. Will it be a pleasant surprise, or will you be left with a bitter taste in your mouth? The excitement, the anticipation, the nerves, it's all part of the experience. One of the most common first date scenarios is the classic dinner and a movie. Seems simple enough, right? Wrong. The number of awkward silences that can occur during a two-hour movie is truly astounding. And let's not forget the struggle of trying to eat something that won't make a mess while also attempting to look cute and charming. But fear not, because there are plenty of other first date options out there. How about a hike in the great outdoors? Fresh air, beautiful scenery, and the chance to bond over a shared love of nature. Just make ...

Hello? do y'all need some privacy or something?   We've all heard it before. Whether it's at a park, a restaurant, or even in our own homes, there's always that one couple who can't keep their hands off each other. And when they start getting a little too cozy in public, it's only a matter of time before someone yells out, "Eww! Get a room!" But let's be real, is it really that gross? I mean, we all know that PDA (public displays of affection) can be a bit uncomfortable to witness, especially when it's over the top. But is it really necessary to tell two people in love to "get a room"? Holding hands ain't that bad, okay?  Maybe it's just jealousy talking. After all, who wouldn't want to be in a loving relationship where they feel comfortable enough to show affection in public? Or maybe our society's obsession with propriety and decorum makes us cringe at the sight of two people getting intimate in public. Either way, ...
