Never trust a guy who doesn’t tip and/or doesn’t tip servers well. Tipping is a sign of politeness and gratitude and if he can’t find it in himself to tip someone who keeps his eight glasses of Dr. Pepper full – lite ice – he’s never going to be grateful for the things you do. The more you know.

Talking to Cutty Gold about their new EP, love and break ups

They say long distance relationships don’t work, but Cutty Gold has managed to debunk this rumor. Last spring, Sam Wilke of New York, and Bert White of Los Angeles, met at a dive bar in Echo Park – Gold Room – through mutual friends, and now, a year later, they’ve birthed an EP of catchy surf-pop songs full of soulful vocals that are sure to make you reminisce that 60s Motown sound and maybe even soothe a broken heart.

How your next girlfriend will be the same as your last

“Your next girlfriend won’t be exactly like your last. She will have a different laugh, different taste in clothes, a different favorite song, and maybe even like her eggs different, but there will be a few things you’ll notice about her that are similar to what your ex’s have done. Things you thought only Emily, Rebecca or Holly did. Things all women tend to do – even your mom or your sister – and that no matter what relationship you’re in, you will find the habits repeating themselves.

How men deal with a break-up

Here is the reality of how men deal with break-ups – not the comic-book version.

Men, by their very nature, approach a breakup with the ferocity of wounded animal seeking food in the wilderness.We do not complain or vent – we challenge our ‘ex’ to a battle of the sexes by any means necessary.

Stripped away of our BlackBerry, flannel shirt, and Ray-Ban glasses – men are savage animals that love sex and violence (ideally, we’d like to combine the two). We’re more like Jack Nicholson from Five Easy Pieces thanJoseph Gordon-Levitt from 500 Days of I Have No Balls.

My first date was the worst date

When I was 16 years old, I went on my first date. No, it wasn’t one of those Sandy Olsson loves Danny Zuko kind of dates where we meet and end up doting each other on a beach, and then later sing “tell me more, tell me more” on the bleachers at school to our friends, it sucked. It completely and utterly sucked.

I was going through puberty, I felt gross, I was shy around boys, and I felt insecure and was unsure of myself because what if someone found my copy of the Sabrina the Teenage Witch soundtrack and exposed me? And then there I was, going on a date with a dude I had a crush on who was a few years older than me. It was real precious teenage dream stuff.

I made a pie

GOOD has a really cool app right now where you can make pie charts and venn diagrams. I made this. Don’t hate me if you’re someone who blogs about married life or babies and uses a cursive-like font. I’m just jealous, really.
