8 Foods & Drinks That Make You Smarter

With the entire media caught up in the whole crusade against unhealthy eating habits, they seem to focus more on the foods we shouldn’t be eating as opposed to taking the time to present ones that we should- especially the foods that fuel our brains! Forget about taking those foul-smelling and overpriced dietary supplements that end up giving you the runs, improving your brain function is just a can of tuna or cup of green tea away. Unleash your inner Einstein by checking out COED’s list of 8 foods that make you smarter!

1) Tuna

The “Chicken of the Sea” has the highest amount of B6 vitamins among all foods. B6 helps you keep your brain functioning its at peak performance, improves your memory and enhances cognitive abilities. Just one serving a day gives you more than half a day’s worth of the vitamin. It also confuses the sh*t out of Jessica Simpson who apparently doesn’t eat enough of it.

2) Oysters

Oysters are high in minerals and nutrients that support healthy brain function. Some studies have shown that men who eat oysters show an immediate improvement in their cognitive abilities as well as a spike in their overall mood. Just beware when a girl offers you her oyster (some might make you look dumb).

3) Coffee

Coffee gets a bad rap in our over-caffeinated society – and drinking a lot is definitely detrimental to your health. Up to two to three cups a day though is not only perfectly safe, it is good for your brain, too. Coffee has the most antioxidants among any food in the average American’s diet and it also gives your brain a real energy boost, allowing you to function better. It will also help you realize how ridiculous Starbucks’ naming system is.

4) Pomegranate

Pomegranates are pretty ubiquitous nowadays, appearing in nearly every health drink as a main ingredient, as well as being touted as a miracle fruit by physicians and health experts alike. And believe me, this is not hyperbole. The pomegranate contains a high amount of various antioxidants, some of which protect your brain and its mental functions. If you cannot get the fruit, the juice makes for an excellent substitute! It’s native to Iran, so you’d think they’d be a little more open-minded.

5) Dark Chocolate

Like the pomegranate, natural dark chocolate is high in antioxidants which protect the brain. It’s also high in caffeine which gives your brain an energy boost, improving your focus without the jitters. If that wasn’t enough, dark chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins – a natural mood enhancer. But remember, dark chocolate isn’t sweet like its milk chocolate variation, but in the end, the health benefits will be worth it. This is not to be confused with Sexual Chocolate.

6) Green And Black Tea

Like chocolate, tea is a two-for-one. Tea contains plenty of antioxidants that help your brain stay healthy while also giving you a caffeine boost to improve your overall concentration and performance. Of the two, green tea is said to be the best, but it’s the black tea that gives you a slightly bigger caffeine boost. So really, it’s all personal preference. Miss Piggy prefers green while Khloe Kardashian prefers black.

7) Salmon

Doctors are always raving about wild salmon and how high it is in Omega-3 fatty acids. While it may not make you “smarter,” Omega-3 improves your brain function and serves as the best possible shield against brain and psychological problems; plus it helps prevent memory loss. I’m sorry, what were we talking about? Where are my pants?

8) Blueberries

Numerous studies have shown that blueberries are the best food out there for your brain. For one, the nutrients found in blueberries protect the brain from disease and damage, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s – making them a good, healthy bet for any snack. Other studies have shown that blueberries help you learn better and keep you well-oriented. I crushed the 3rd grade spelling bee last week thanks to these bad boys.

The 5 Relatives You’ll See on Thanksgiving

As we head home for Thanksgiving, we are all making a list of people that we will see and asking ourselves why we couldn’t have come up with an excuse not to go. Here are the five people that you will definitely this Thanksgiving…

Old Senile Grandfather

It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the old grandfather or uncle who drinks too much on social occasions and begins rambling about those “gooks” that he had to fight in ‘Nam. Just imagine how much worse it will be this year now that we have a “colored President.”

divider-grey2

The Cocky Uncle

The cocky uncle is a mainstay in most families. He is usually a well off guy who lives in the suburbs, drives an SUV with a child seat in the back, and thinks he knows everything, therefore quickly dismissing anything that anyone else.
It’s no use arguing with him, you might as well just “accidentally” keep kicking him under the table.

divider-grey2

Exasperated Mother

While everyone is watching football, your mother is frantically running around and making sure that everything is in order even though it never is. If you really want a source of entertainment, watch her for a couple hours and see how many glasses of wine she downs before dinner. Just make sure she doesn’t notice you lazying around, she might ask you for help and the next thing you know you’re elbow deep inside a turkey.

divider-grey2

Stoner Cousin

This one may be a bit dated as the stereotypical stoner cousin is now being replaced all around the country with loser “vampire kid.” Thank you, Twilight, for inspiring a movement even lamer than “emo kids.”

divider-grey2

Chinese Food Delivery Guy

This is a favorite around the coastal states (or the non-real America as some would say) where we want to get together but don’t want to do any of that cooking or family bonding crap. Nothing watching the delivery guy struggle to carry several sacks of food to feed your whole family and a whole lot of free sodas.

5 Signs The US Is Getting Too Fat

Fat-America

It seems that with every year more and more people are starting to look like Rush Limbaugh and Rosie O’Donnell and the free market is quickly adapting to meet the needs of the new, super heavy weight American.  Here are five signs that the United States is just getting too fat.

sausage-pancake

Sausage Wrapped in Pancake on a Stick

If anyone is driving people out of the gym and into open heart surgery it is Jimmy Dean.
The oft-mocked Sausage wrapped inside of a pancake on a stick has been a big seller for the cardiac arrest inducing food producer and is a perfect example of why so many Americans now have to buy two seats when they book a flight.

turducken
Turducken

John Madden’s favorite Thanksgiving meal, a chicken inside of a duck inside of a turkey, is also the reason that John Madden looks like he had a mild stroke.
Let’s face it, a simple turkey with countless sides is simply not enough for a holiday that prides itself on stuffing your fat face and needing to take the day off the next day. It’s the twenty-first century, the only way to truly enjoy a turkey is if it has two other birds stuffed inside of it.

chicken-chicken

The KFC Chicken-Chicken Sandwich


People all around the country love Kentucky Fried Chicken because their food doesn’t come in meals, it comes in buckets. KFC’s newest venture, however, is even more baffling as the genius minds in the Kentucky lab have come up with a sandwich that includes a piece of grilled chicken and cheese…inside of two pieces of fried chicken. Brilliant!

fat-people-scooter
Fat People Scooters

We’ve all seen old people and the disabled riding around on those motorized wheel chair-scooters but over the past ten years the scooter has become a way for fat people to burn even less calories.
Despite the fact that walking to the all-you-can-eat buffett is the most excercise that people in this country get, the motorized scooter allows people whose jeans have waist bands to skip that tedious walking part.

global-warming

Global Warming

You know the United States is obese when our eating habits are going to destroy the world. According to numerous studies, the biggest contributor to global warming is not cars or factories but factory farms. The same factory farms that struggle to meet the stunning demand for beef every single year.
According to the studies, the average American eats 64 pounds of beef every single year. In our defense, the average American also can’t see his toes.

The 6 Most Ridiculous Celebrity Sex Tapes

One of the most talked about news items the past few weeks has been the Carrie Prejean sex tapes which even earned her an interview on Larry King Live where she managed to make herself look like a bigger idiot than before.
The sex tape craze has been big among D-List celebrities in the past few years and if you were thinking “who cares?” about the Prejean sex tape, here are some that you may have missed… hopefully.

Tom Sizemore
Most people know Tom Sizemore as that guy from that movie but few know that Sizemore (all 300 pounds of him) released a sex tape a few years ago in order to pay his legal and rehab bills prompting all eight people who bought it to go “Ewww.”

Sizemore’s tape did teach us a valuable lesson, though. It doesn’t matter how fat or disgusting you are, if you have money there are countless women who will sleep with you.

divider-grey2

Verne Troyer (a.k.a. Mini Me)
Yes, the little guy from Austin Powers made his own sex tape to rival the grossness of the Sizemore tape.

Troyer says that he did not release the tape and it was magically stolen by the guy who released Paris Hilton’s sex tape…because people always rummage through little people’s homes to see if there’s any vids of them banging.

Troyer also taught us a valuable lesson: no matter how tiny or weird looking you are, if you have been on film there are people who will sleep with you.
By the way, way better than the sex tape is the video of Troyer riding his scooter around naked and wasted on some dumb reality show.

divider-grey2

Dustin Diamond (a.k.a. Screech)
Diamond is a perfect example of the mentality of a delusional “celebrity.” The guy’s only work since Saved by the Bell was an appearance on Celebrity Boxing and Celebrity Fit Club yet he thinks that a sex tape will send him back to starhood.

Do you know why Kim Kardashian blew up after sex tapes came out? Because she is smoking hot and more importantly a girl. You’re the guy who played Screech.

divider-grey2

Chyna/Sean Waltman
After leaving the WWE, Chyna appeared in Playboy and then came out with a sex tape (it was called “One Night in Chyna”…very original) that featured her and former WWE “superstar” Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac).

This was the closest that we have seen to a gay celebrity sex tape.

divider-grey2

Fred Durst
The fact that Fred Durst is arguably the most famous person on this list makes me sad for our country.

Durst supposedly didn’t release the tape (it was allegedly stolen by a guy who was fixing his computer) and ironically only became more irrelevant after the tape was leaked.

Tonya Harding
This one is my favorite because it was actually sold by Penthouse who thought that people would want to see Tonya Harding and her husband having sex.

They were wrong.

The 5 Biggest Marijuana Myths Debunked

pot-myth

As marijuana quickly becomes more and more socially acceptable, millions of Americans are beginning to understand the lies that they have been told about pot. Here are the five biggest myths about weed that have prevented any kind of legalization movement from getting on a roll.

pot-leaf

1. Marijuana Causes Cancer

Many have said that smoking pot and smoking cigarettes is the same thing and, therefore; marijuana must cause cancer, as well. Not only have countless independent studies disproved this, but some have actually found that marijuana decreased tumor growth by as much as 50%. (Sorry, cigarettes will still kill you.)

2. Marijuana Is Addictive

While prolonged use has shown to leave signs of dependence, marijuana does not actually contain a “nicotine-like” compound that causes it to be addictive. (This is similar to being “addicted” to soda.) There are little to no withdrawal symptoms, especially when compared to the withdrawal effects of drugs like cocaine or heroin – or even an alcohol-induced hangover.

3. Marijuana Is a Gateway Drug

Simply put, numerous studies have unequivocally disproved the idea that using marijuana leads to use of harder drugs. Marijuana has actually successfully been used to reduce hard drug users’ dependence on drugs. So, in reality, it is the exact opposite of a gateway drug.

4. Marijuana Causes Brain Damage

Another myth where the exact opposite thing is true: Not only have studied disproved the idea that marijuana damages your brain, they have found that it actually protects your brain from the damage that heavy drinking can cause.

5. Marijuana Has No Medical Uses

The government has often defended its marijuana policy by citing their own studies that say that marijuana does not have any therapeutic effects. Not true. Aside from the uses listed above, marijuana have been proven to have beneficial effects on people suffering from migraines, glaucoma, AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, epilepsy, stomach disorders, and dozens of other health problems.

And, most recently, even the American Medical Association called for the government to remove its restrictive Schedule 1 status.

5 Signs She’s Just Not That Into You

So there’s this girl who you think is neat and you want to go steady with her but don’t know if she likes you back.

The 5 Biggest NCAA Football Upsets

upsets-feature

College football season is in full swing. And each Saturday seems to get better than the next. But what we need this year is a good, ol’ fashioned upset. The kind of upset that makes you spill your beer and crap your pants, all at the same time. The kind of upset that sends you into such a deep depression, you think of offing yourself by suffocating on Astroturf. But until that happens, let’s check out the 5 Biggest NCAA Football Upsets of all-time.

 

oregon-v-washington

5. Oregon State vs Washington

October 19, 1985

During the 1985 season, Washington was on a roll and Oregon…wasn’t. Coming into the game, Washington was giving up 37 points to the Beavers. Throughout the game, Washington showed that they were never going to cover the spread only to see themselves go down with a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and Oregon upset the Huskies 21-20.

divider-grey2

 

temple-v-vt

4. Temple vs Virginia Tech

October 18, 1998

In 1998, Virginia Tech was ranked #5 while Temple was completely winless going into the game. Virginia Tech went on to lose that game 28-24, and plummeted in the rankings as they were defeated by one of the worst teams in division I-A.

divider-grey2

ncsu-v-fsu

3. North Carolina State vs Florida State

September 12, 1998

Florida State was unbelievably good in the 90s – and 1998 was no exception. Going into the North Carolina State game, FSU had beaten the Wolfpack by a margin of at least 34 points in three consecutive games. Picking off star FSU quarterback Chris Weinke six times, NC State went on to win 24-7.

divider-grey2

stanford-v-usc

2. Stanford vs USC

October 6, 2007

Coming into the game, USC was 3-0 and ranked number 1 in the country while unranked Standford was completely winless. The experts with the fancy calculators claimed that USC was a 41-point favorite to win. Stanford not only beat the massive spread but also beat the top dog in the NCAA as they overcame the largest points spread in history to win 24-23.

divider-grey2

app-v-michigan

1. Appalachian State vs Michigan

September 1, 2007

It is only appropriate that USC lost the way they did because the 2007 season began with a bang as #5 ranked Michigan Wolverines were defeated by Appalachian State…a Division I-AA school. This not only destroyed Michigan’s season but was the first time in history at a Division I-AA team defeated a ranked school.

5 Things You Shouldn’t Tell Your New Girlfriend

dont-tell-her-lead

Many guys have problems talking to women because we don’t always know what to say. This is a pretty small problem considering that you could be the guy that is telling a girl WAY too much than he should be. Revealing something that weirds the girl out is the number one killer of budding relationships. Here are five things to avoid bringing up when you are talking to a new girlfriend or a girl you are just trying to go home with.

threesome

1. Number of Sexual Partners

You don’t really want to know how many guys have been with the girl you are talking to, and you certainly don’t want her to know how many girls you have been with. One the one hand, the number could be too high and she will think you’re a whore. On the other hand, the number could be too low and she will think that you don’t know what you are doing. It is also a good to not answer the “how many women have you been with” question with something like “one more after tonight, baby.” Ok, that’s probably bad, too…

divider-grey2

banking-account

2. Bank Account

This is especially a problem in young relationships. Keep your personal crap out of her eyes – because if the relationship ever goes sour you can expect a lot of purchases from Saks to start popping up on your monthly statements.

divider-grey2

tell-her-you-love-her

3. You Love Her

If you are the ass who tells a girl that you love her after knowing her for like a week, you are setting yourself for a good ol’ life ruining. For one, she now has huge expectations and “marriage” is constantly on her mind. Secondly, you have squandered away the upper hand in the relationship and she will now proceed to make you her bitch. Finally, you don’t love her yet. You just like that ass. A lot.

divider-grey2

fetish

4. Your Fetishes

It is not a good idea to ask if a girl if she is into tying guys up and strapping a car battery to a guy’s nipples while he is spanked by two midgets when your relationship is first starting out. Nor when your relationship is twenty years old for that matter. Seriously. Unless that scenario is the ONLY way your weird self can get off, keep it civil for a while.

divider-grey2

creepy-secret

5. Your Creepy Secrets

Some guys come right out with it and tell a girl about the Big Bird stuffed animal that they have slept with since they were four or about that time they were in the Boy Scouts and the scoutleader did more than bird watch. Don’t be that guy.

5 Cars That Make You Look Like a Tool

Tool-lead

The car you drive says a lot about who you are as a man. It defines your personality to the world around you, as you whiz past at 80-MPH. It is your home away from home, your out-0f-the-office office. And, if you’re lucky, it plays a major factor in helping get you laid. But if you drive one of these tool boxes, don’t be surprised if everyone else on the road wants to punch you in the face.

hummer

5. Hummer

If you drive a Hummer and you aren’t a Marine then you are a fuel abusing, environmentally unfriendly, can’t-find-a-parking-spot-for-that-useless-tank tool. You’d be better off driving an 18-wheeler cross country.

divider-grey2

 

smart-car

4. Smart Car

Unless you are a midget (or vertically-challenged-yet-fully-functional person, whatever the politically correct term is today), you have no business driving a Smart Car. What your car says is that being environmentally friendly is great but being an environmentally friendly attention whore is better.

divider-grey2

 

Chrysler Prowler to Debut in Blue

3. Plymouth Prowler

If the wheels of your car aren’t located underneath the body of the car then you deserve what happens to one of them when you hit a speed bump. The only reason to be driving a Prowler is if you’re going full speed towards a wall.

divider-grey2

 

nissan-cube

2. Nissan Cube

“It’s not a car, it’s a mobile device.” It’s not a mobile device, it’s a box with wheels that encourages you to be distracted while driving and plow into a school bus. The only reason you should be driving the Cube is if you’re driving right behind the Prowler towards the wall.

divider-grey2

 

ford-taurus

1. Ford Taurus

It not that it is a ridiculous looking car, it’s just that you bought it for less money than you will be spending on repairs for the damn thing. Enjoy your time at the auto shop, your new home away from home.

The 5 Worst Ways to Break Up with a Girl

There are countless ways that you can break off a relationship with your girlfriend that can save face for the both of you and end it on civil terms. At the same time, there are five distinct ways to end a relationship that will end with a massive headache and humiliation. Here are The 5 Worst Ways to Break Up with a Girl.

facebook2009-04-21-1240343633

Changing Your Facebook Status

Social networking is great for staying in touch with friends but not a great forum to break up with someone. It is usually not a good idea change your Relationship Status on Facebook and hope that she can take the hint. Besides, do this and prepare for your wall to be laden with cracks about your penis or whiny love song lyrics.

divider-grey2

text-messaging

Text Message

“I tnk we shld c other ppl” is a good way to get your tires slashed. The only thing less personal than a text message is a message sent through a carrier pigeon but much less awesome.

divider-grey2

Spring-break-A-crowd-of-s-002

In Public

You want to break up with this girl, not have a crowd of people find out that you suck in bed and are a heartless bastard as she violently screams profane insults at you.

Bonus: it is also not a good idea to call her something like “whore” (even if she is) when you break up with her. You will get kicked in the shin. Or the nuts. Hard. (Learn from my mistakes…)

tumblr_kq6gzx96uf1qzxt8qo1_500

Long Winded Letter

There are a few things wrong with this. For one, it is still incredibly impersonal, though better than a text message. Secondly, most guys who go down this lane just wind up making the girl think they were gay. Most importantly, the last thing you need is written proof of your douchiness, especially in the age of Twitter, Facebook, and blogs.

10 Major Health Benefits of Marijuana

medical-marijuana-lead

The days of Reefer Madness are pretty far gone, but the American public is still vastly uninformed about marijuana, particularly concerning its myriad of amazing health benefits. Here are 10 (out of countless) health benefits that marijuana possesses. With that said, it’s simply baffling that medical marijuana is not legal in most of the country, and still there retains such a negative reputation. So, if you have one of these conditions, now might be a good time to call up your cousin’s dealer.

lance-armstrong

1. Cancer

There is a lot of unfounded rhetoric that states smoking pot can cause lung cancer because your inhaling smoke, like cigarettes. This simply isn’t true. Cigarette smoke causes cancer because the tobacco is radiated whereas marijuana isn’t. In fact, the American Association for Cancer Research has found the marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain considerably.

divider-grey2

seizure

2. Seizures

Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has “antispasmodic” qualities which have proven to be a very effective treatment of seizures. There are actually countless cases of people suffering from seizures that have only been able to function better through the use of marijuana.

divider-grey2

migraine

3. Migraines

Since medicinal marijuana was legalized in California, doctors have reported that they have been able to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines that conventional medicine couldn’t through marijuana. And that’s NOT just because it’s easy to fake having migraines, right? RIGHT?!

divider-grey2

glaucoma

4. Glaucoma

Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There isn’t a single valid study that exists that disproves marijuana’s very powerful and popular effects on glaucoma patients. Beat that, DEA!

divider-grey2

montel-williams

5. Multiple Sclerosis

Marijuana’s effects on multiple sclerosis patients became better documented when former talk-show host, Montel Williams began to use pot to treat his MS. Marijuana works to stop the neurological effects and muscle spasms that come from the fatal disease.

divider-grey2

tourettes

6. Tourette’s and OCD

Just like marijuana can treat seizures and multiple sclerosis, marijuana’s effects slow down the tics in those suffering from Tourette’s, and the obsessive neurological symptoms in people with OCD.

divider-grey2

adhd

7. ADD and ADHD

A well documented USC study done about a year ago showed that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative for Ritalin but treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the pharmaceutical.

divider-grey2

stomachache

8. IBS and Crohn’s

Marijuana has shown that it can help with symptoms of the chronic diseases as it stops nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

divider-grey2

old-man

9. Alzheimer’s

Despite what you may have heard about marijuana’s effects on the brain, the Scripps Institute, in 2006, proved that the THC found in marijuana works to prevent Alzheimer’s by blocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease.

divider-grey2

pms

10. Premenstrual Syndrome

Next time your girlfriend is complaining that you smoke too much weed, hand her a joint. Just like marijuana is used to treat IBS, it can be used to treat the cramps and discomfort that causes your girlfriend to lash out at you. Using marijuana for PMS actually goes all the way back to Queen Victoria. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

So now that you’ve read through all this, can you really let anyone convince you of a need for marijuana rehab? I think we’ve made a pretty good case that marijuana IS rehab! It is also highly recommended that you check out The Union (for free!), a great documentary made by Brett Harvey.

10 Signs You Might Be A Douche

Douche-lead

The sad reality of life is that most douchebags do not realize that they are douchebags. It’s true. You might be a douchebag and not even know it. In fact, the chances of that are pretty good. (Lack of self-awareness is another major douchebag feature.) So to help you clear things up, here are 10 signs that you just might be a douchebag…

suit

1. You Wear a Suit When You Don’t Have To

A popular one with the “I pretend to have a better life than I actually do” douchebag. If you have ever worn a suit and didn’t have to go to work or a wedding, you’re the guy who likes to make himself feel better based on his wardrobe, ignoring his awful life choices making you…a douche.

Exceptions: It’s OK to wear a suit after you have been acquitted of a felony and are going to celebrate.

divider-grey2

the-scream

2. You Have Taken An Art History Class

If you have ever taken an art history class, then you probably spend your days at Starbucks, watching old Italian movies, and organizing war protests on Facebook making you a pretentious artsy…douche.

Exceptions: All the other classes were full – and you hate Fellini films.

divider-grey2

sting

3. You Like The Music Of The Police

If you’re a man, and have ever bought a Police album, gone to a Police concert, or enjoyed listening to “Behind My Camel” then you probably also enjoy gay bars and watching golf. The jury is no longer out on you…you’re a douche.

Exceptions: You’re a woman.

divider-grey2

hair

4. Your Hair Is Standing Straight Up

If you spend more of your night styling your hair than you do sleeping, you also wear jeans with intentional tears in them, wax your chest, and spray tan. If the look you are going for is “Growing Up Gotti” then you are undoubtedly a huge douche.

Exceptions: If you accidentally fell into a vat of hair gel, you get a pass.

divider-grey2

beanie

5. You Wear A Wool Hat In The Summer

Once again, a popular one with the pretentious artsy douche. You probably complete the look with an ironic scarf and screw anyone that thinks you’re stupid for wearing it in the middle of summer. You sir, are a douche.

Exceptions: You’re Tom Hanks in the movie Philadelphia.

divider-grey2

Hella

6. You Use The Word “Hella”

There are a number of words douches use but “hella” is undoubtedly the most infuriating because they replace every word with it. If you have ever used the word “hella,” you’re a hella douche.

Exceptions: If you used the word while saying “If you say ‘hella’ one more time I’ll kick you in the shin.”

divider-grey2

tree-tied

7. You Have Tied Yourself To A Tree

If you have ever tied yourself to a tree to try to save it, you deserve to be cut down with the tree. There are trillions of other trees in the world, the one you tied yourself to is meaningless… Douche.

Exceptions: You were trying to get laid.

divider-grey2

wigger

8. You Wear A Tilted Cap

If you’re not Jay-Z, you’re only going to look like a douche…which…is what you are if you wear you hat at a tilt. That includes C.C. Sabathia.

Exceptions: You have won a Source Award.

divider-grey2

spinners

9. You Car Has Spinning Rims

Your wheels have spinning rims, your sound system cost more than your Escalade, and you spend a month’s salary on gas. You’re a spinning douche.

Exceptions: It’s your mom’s car.

divider-grey2

m-night-shyamalan

10. You Like M. Night Shyamalan Films

He’s made one good movie and you watch his crap movies religiously. That includes having seen Lady in the Water and The Happening. You are actually a bigger douche than he is.

Exceptions: None. He is awful.

What Your Girlfriend Really Thinks About Sex

Girlfriend-sex-lead

As men, we rarely know what women are thinking, at all. And when it comes to sex we are even more in the dark.

So to take the bag off your head, here are five things your girlfriend might say that should throw up some serious red flags. Read more
