I used to love Facebook. Of course, I would have never admitted it. But the truth is, up until about 2010, Facebook was mainly a website for young people. Young people doing stupid things. And it was glorious. But now, I can't stand it. Now, all it is is one...

Much of the discussion surrounding Sheryl Sandberg's dictum in her recent book Lean In that women self-sabotage their careers by not speaking up and failing to be assertive has revolved around a woman's struggle to fulfill a desire for motherhood and a career. Having not yet entered that stage of...

I signed a new lease on a house last night and so officially on October 1st, I will move in with my boyfriend and become one of the millions of cohabiting unmarried un-engaged couples that have begun to define my generation's demographics. After an exhaustive, stressful search which required a...

I've come to notice a troubling trend around the office: Women are constantly flinging off their heels for flats or flip-flops, and I just can't stand it any longer. These women wear their heels for about two minutes total and the rest of the day, they're trudging around in shoes...

For as long as it has been popular in the West, yoga has always struggled to reconcile its noble traditions of using physical postures to bring calmness to the brain with the West's glorification of the aesthetic benefits yoga's postures produce. In other words, many of the millions of people...

I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, almost every weekend for a while now. In addition to a terrible case of jet-lag, I have picked up some tips on how to approach the complications of the TSA without sacrificing your dignity.

With summer travels upon us, many of us...

I've told my boyfriend I'm ready. We're beginning the exhausting search for a house so we can move in together. It's taken over three months for me to decide this was the right decision for us, but I've come to the conclusion it is. I'm nervous and scared but very...

There is a culture in our relationship-obsessed young women's world that has obfuscated a dark truth: We are so overly focused on fixing our relationships that we have become completely blind to the fact that we're in terrible relationships. We read articles and talk and think for days about how...

Ann Romney raised five boys. I'm sure that was hard. So hard that to be honest, I'd prefer not to find out myself. But at the same time, it doesn't give her the same experience as having a job that gives you a paycheck. There's nothing wrong with her choice....

I just read this New York Times article about people causing strife in relationships because of their Twitter or status updates about situations that should probably be private. All I can think is, how stupid are these people? Yes,...

The New York Times had a thoughtful article in it last week on cohabitation and about five different people emailed it to me, as just a few days earlier my boyfriend had officially popped the question. No, not that passé...

As a lifelong Democrat, I never thought I would be in this place. I never thought I would have to confront this dreaded unforeseen fear -- the terror that is, for me, dating a Republican. I don't even know very many Republicans. But it turns out, I'm not alone. Outside...

Relationship experts always want to tell you that snooping is one hundred percent without fail invariably wrong. It's a violation of your partner's privacy, it breaks trust and if you want a healthy relationship you should never do it. And they're always so self-righteous about it. Like, if you were...

A few weeks back, my boyfriend offered to pay my health insurance premiums. I am unusually poor right now, which I've discovered doesn't suit me well; what little savings I had have dwindled down to almost nothing. Essentially, if I don't sell a screenplay soon, I'll either have to take...

Internet porn has entered your bedroom. You may not realize it, your boyfriend may rarely watch it, but the kind of sex you are having has internet porn to thank for its life-imitating-art effect. An entire generation of men has spent the last ten to fifteen years watching porn in...

I found out through the grapevine that a boyfriend of a friend of mine recently cheated on my friend (with a hooker in Las Vegas nonetheless!). After much deliberation, I've finally decided I am not going to tell her.

I feel a bit like a traitor to my kind and...

Have you noticed that when you make plans with someone, you almost never really make plans with them? You essentially make plans to talk with them on the phone at a certain time from a certain location. This drives me crazy. If we're meeting at 6:30 and we're both on...

Here's the scenario. You meet someone you think you could like. You've hung out three or four times, maybe a few dates and then meeting up with his friends for drinks. You start to think you do like him. You start opening up, talking about your family or dreams or...

Being in your late 20s means that bachelorette parties are a regular part of your social calendar. The problem is, most bachelorette parties SUCK. They're often boring, uninspired, unoriginal, expensive, lame and there's nothing do to but drink and regret it later. In fact, if one more girl asks me...
