6 Guys who end up being a future waste of time

Published by

Many of my girlfriends, myself included have dated some weirdos in the past, weirdos that after we finally managed to end these sort yet wasteful periods, we wished they just wouldn’t have happened in the first place. I’ve put together a short list of some of the horror story guys. What traits to watch for before you have dug yourself too deep. I feel like within the first month of regularly dating someone new, you know if they are exclusive relationship status worthy. What many women are willing to do too often is settle. Loneliness and low self worth play a huge factor for why we settle. We were all warned by specific actions that we all just chose to ignore. Don’t ignore the red flags, always go with your gut instinct. The self-adsorbed/delusional guy The guy who will only stare at himself in the closet mirrors while doing you from behind. We are all about self love but if it comes to a point that you’d rather stare at yourself in the mirror to …

Getting home safe: How trusted taxi drivers may not be so trustworthy after all

Published by

One of my closest girlfriends and I always talk about our horribly weird encounters with taxi drivers we’ve had over the previous weekend, (We both work in the industry, late nights and also enjoy our nights out on the town. We also both take taxis at LEAST once a day because we do not own cars). After hearing the same stories over and over again, but in different circumstances, I wondered how many other women were subject to the abuse and unwanted advances by these men who are employed to get women and people in general home safely, my friend inspired me to reach out and do my research, gather information and share the stories with you all. Let me begin with my first hand experience. My first unsavory encounter with a taxi driver in Vancouver BC Canada was at the age of 11, I was standing at a bus stop in the summer time, after a matinee on Granville street (when Granville 7 cinemas was still open). The bus stop was full of people …

Bartender Rants: The most annoying pickup line I get

Published by

Bartending at a nightclub on the weekends, every shift without fail I get ear fed with close to 100 pick up lines. All lame, some more inappropriate than others. A few recent examples are “ You look like a porn star, I love porn stars” (I was wearing a long sleeve top and jeans with my Js and he wasn’t talking about Porn Star shooters) “You a bad girl? You look like a bad girl with all those tattoos” ( 1 of 50 other tattoo related pickups) “Is that real?!!!” (In reference to my behind and usually my breasts as well) “I’ll get a glass of water, and your number” Me “ what can I get for you” Him “ what would I call a taste of you” “What are you doing after work?”-“Sleeping”-“Sleeping with me?” These are only a few of many, I deal with plenty of drunk dumb dumbs all night and it really doesn’t phase me, sometimes it makes me laugh. Most of the time I just pretend I don’t hear it …

Ladies guide to proper bathroom etiquette

Published by

Ladies guide to proper bathroom etiquette I feel as if there should be some rules in regards to a certain standard we should uphold to as women while using a public restroom. Have you noticed at nightclubs, restaurants; really anywhere with bathrooms how much messier the women’s restroom is than the men’s? (Yes I’ve stuck my head into many men’s bathrooms, and snuck into a few to use if the ladies bathroom at the club has a 15 min line up. Here are a few things that I think could be confronted and changed, small things everyone can do while using a public restroom to make it a pleasant experience for everyone having their “alone time” and things that we can all do to help make sure the next lady in there doesn’t want to gag…. From the moment you enter: DO NOT enter with anything along the lines of “It stinks in here, what’s that smell, EW” – Duh, it stinks, it’s the bathroom, where I ran to because last nights curry dinner didn’t …
