literally whose mans are these????:
At this point, I feel like it’s pretty safe to assume that most of us are familiar with the breakup method known as “ghosting“–you know, the means of ending a relationship by not offering any explanation or actual reason for breaking up, but simply deciding to stop answering texts, calls, and basically just disappearing into a cacophonous void and never being heard from again. If you’ve ever been on the ghoster side, you probably know that, sometimes, ghosting is something that has to be done. Who among us hasn’t at least once been too tired or too bored or too fed up with a certain individual to the point where just the thought of penning a mere breakup text was so exhausting that it just never really…happened?

If you are someone who identifies as female, and you’ve ever spent more than, say, a few minute on the Internet, you’ve probably manged to reach the same conclusion as many others: Sometimes, being a girl on the Internet is not the most fun thing in the world. I mean, you’ve got to deal with harassers. Mansplainers. Guys who slide into your DMs for no discernible reason other than to mess with you. Then, you’ve got the shamers.

You’re going to run into a lot of love and romance New Years posts soon, and I’m here to tell you that a lot of them are going to be garbage. Why? Because a lot of them are going to give a lot of unrealistic advice, like having the courage to ask out your crush in the middle of lunch when they’re chillin’ with all of their friends. I get it, that’s cool in the aspirational teen movie scene sort of way, but this is real life, and I know that no matter how much many of us are thirsting over our crush, we’re probably not going to do that.

With the prevalence of “hookup culture” that surrounds modern dating in general and photo-based dating apps like Tinder in particular, many people make the assumption that the app is only filled with creeps looking to make a quick score. Don’t let this generalization scare you away, because many users are nice and normal – after all, you’re on Tinder and you’re not a creep!

"'Boys will be boys' is our culture's excuse for (incorrectly) linking power and aggression to masculinity...Empowering women doesn't mean 'girls acting like boys,' it means that girls shouldn't have to act 'like boys' in order to be powerful."- @feminist_tinder
I never dated in high school, so I figured I’d date in college. Well, er, I came close? But aside from missing (in retrospect) obvious signals for a dude I had a bit of a crush on, and getting asked out by a dude I barely knew, my dating life in college was pretty non-existent. It wasn’t until after college that I started to seriously try dating, and I did that by joining some free online dating services and apps.
