I Attended A Zoom Speed Dating Event And It Was Just As Weird And Awkward As It Sounds

Although I didn't feel a connection with any of the guys I met, I was proud of myself for going through with this event.

It was an interesting experience to say the least! It's definitely a Saturday night I won't forget and TBH, I let out a good laugh once the event ended and I closed my laptop for the night. If anything came out of it, it was an hour of chatting with strangers, having some sort of human connection, and everyone agreeing that the dating world right now is once again, weird and wild.

This Woman Is Going Viral For Recreating Pinterest Outfits And Showing The Annoying Double Standard That Comes With Fashion Trends On Different Body Types

Brooklyn told BuzzFeed she was inspired to begin recreating Pinterest looks after seeing a number of thin women participate in the trend on TikTok. "I'm sure I wasn’t the first plus size person to do it, but I felt like with my specific body type and size, I could help a lot of my followers understand that they can wear anything they want, and look great doing it! I chose Pinterest outfits specifically because it was already a trend, and I noticed that Pinterest is a platform where you generally only see the beauty standard body type being represented in fashion."

My Goal This Year Is To Stop Impulse Shopping So I Tracked My Spending For A Week And Here's What I Learned

Overall, this is absolutely an app I'm going to continue to use (even if the income amount won't always be 100% accurate). I think it's a great way to give myself a daily "allowance" and appreciate the things I buy rather than mindlessly spending money all week.

If you're trying to cut back on impulse shopping, spend more consciously, and save money, you might want to give Daily Budget a try.

This Sex Doctor Is Helping Us Unlearn All The Wrong Things Society Teaches Us About Sex

For as long as I can remember, I wrongly viewed all things surrounding sex. I was taught that sex was this forbidden thing that wasn’t supposed to happen until marriage. Because of this, I was never educated about anything related to sex — besides the basic info taught in school sex ed.

My lack of sexual education left me feeling ashamed in so many aspects of my sex life as I got older. I was scared to communicate, I was often embarrassed, and there were even times when I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t orgasm. But the truth was, I didn't really know anything about my own body.

I Just Got Back On Dating Apps After Deleting Them For A Year, And Let Me Tell You, It's Wild Out There

We went from the app to texting to get to know each other. When he said his favorite show was “MTV: The Challenge” and he asked me if I’ve seen the second season of "Jersey Shore" yet, I should’ve read the room.

Still, we decided to FaceTime that night instead and to my surprise, he looked years older than he had claimed he was on the app. The video chat was also weird, and aside from not feeling the chemistry, he asked me questions such as “How fast do you move sexually?” after I told him I don’t have sex on a first date. That's when I debated throwing my phone out the window. 😑

Let’s just say, we hung up and I immediately deleted the guy’s number. I went back to the app to find out that the guy unmatched me. Well, he beat me to it!
