Valentine's Day: A Real Man's Perspective

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, but for all you single girls out there, this does not have to be a reason to mope. This Valentine's day, throw convention out the window and celebrate your single status.

The star-studded new movie, Valentine's Day, is due in theaters right in time for any of you who need some last minute plans (Feb. 12). You can even follow in the footsteps of Jessica Biel's character and throw an anti-Valentine's day dinner party for some of your single friends. Whatever you do, make sure to keep yourself surrounded with loved ones. After all, you don't have to be "in love" on Valentine's Day; you just have to have people to love.

Here are some guaranteed ways to make sure your Valentine's Day is memorable:

1. Pamper Yourself with a Spa Day


Get together with friends and celebrate being single by taking a much-needed spa day. If spending money at a spa is not in your budget, then create your own spa in the

6 Easy Finger Food Recipes to Feed Your Super Bowl Guests

If you are around a bunch of guys, or a specific guy you like, Super Bowl Sunday can be a treacherous minefield for a girl. Being that I'm such a nice guy, I figured I would take it upon myself to present you ladies with 10 things you need to know during the big game on Sunday.

This list includes some basic information you should know on the game itself, as well as things you should avoid doing and saying around any guy.

1. Peyton Manning is the quarterback for Indianapolis and Drew Brees is the quarterback for New Orleans. Don't mix these up. Seriously, don't.

2. Reggie Bush is not just Kim Kardashian's boyfriend -- he's also a running back for the Saints. If he comes up in conversation, don't mention his girlfriend and her generous derriere; instead talk about Bush as a player.

To give you a better idea about Reggie, imagine this scenario: the best looking guy you have ever seen just came up to you and asked you out. You

Dessert gets a pretty bad rap. Sure, it's the perfect way to end dinner, but one piece of chocolate cake might just add up to an entire day's worth of calories (and let's be honest, the last thing we want to do after a great meal is hit the gym).

Well, you're in luck: enjoying dessert no longer has to be a catch-22. Whether you're entertaining friends, sharing a treat with your Valentine, or rewarding yourself after a long day at the office, satisfy your sweet tooth with one of these mouth-watering, low-calorie dessert ideas --- without worrying that it's going straight to your hips.

Plan an Affordable Staycation in Your City

It's that time of year again. The holiday that shouldn't be a holiday is upon us. Valentine's Day.

If you're still reading this article after the opening line, congratulations. You've just made the best decision you're going to make today. By reading the first line alone, chances are you think I'm the stereotypical guy who hates Valentine's Day; and doesn't believe in love. I'm not. I'm here to enlighten you.

When celebrating Valentine's Day, you're celebrating the person you love and what you have with that person, but chances are what you have is bull s---. Valentine's Day shouldn't be a holiday or celebration, because if we were to stick to its core values and true meaning, shouldn't it be a celebration that exists every day? Don't get me wrong. Every relationship has its ups and downs. But shouldn't you have the same feeling most days, that you do when your boyfriend gives you flowers on Valentine's Day? Shouldn't sex

Why Do Only Married Men Hit on Me?

Dear What Men Want:

I'm a flirty girl, but I'm not promiscuous at all. Unfortunately, however, men usually assume that I am promiscuous because when I go out, I usually entertain everyone with conversation and a good time -- and I usually end up walking away with a few numbers. I consider myself to be fun and flirty, and I LIKE that part of me, but just because I'm a single girl who needs to know what's/who's out there doesn't mean I sleep around!

I guess my questions for you are: Should I stop talking to so many men when I'm out? Is there such a think as being "too flirty"? (I mean, I'm not flashing boobs or kissing strangers, but I like having a good time.) And lastly, how do I get men to see me as a serious prospect while remaining true to my fun and flirty nature? Please help!

Thanks,
Flirty in Florida

Some friends become like family. On the other hand, some friends become worse than enemies: they become parasites. It's perfectly natural for a friendship to change over the years. But what happens when your friendship becomes toxic?

Florence Isaacs, author of Toxic Friends/True Friends, explains to WebMD that "a toxic friendship is unsupportive, draining, unrewarding, stifling, unsatisfying, and often unequal." Isaacs goes on to say that "toxic friends stress you out, use you, are unreliable, are overly demanding, and don't give anything back."

Could you be the victim of having one of these toxic friends? Read on to find out if you have one of these kinds of frenemies in your life.
