Back in the mists of time making out before marriage was a no-no, and lifelong commitment was the only way forward. Thank God (well actually, probably not) that this isn’t the way any longer. We date around, have FBs (that’s f***, not facebook, buddies) and can enjoy relationships that aren’t just boyfriend / girlfriend. Sure, Facebook recently added a couple new relationship statuses (civil union, domestic partnership, etc.) and they’ve addressed murky situations before (it’s complicated, in an open relationship), but even those sometimes fail to capture what’s really going on between the sheets. If FBs or monogamy isn’t quite your bag, check out these three new versions of relationships for the new decade in dating after the jump!

It ain’t easy being single. Each year millions of men plunk down serious cash to learn the ways of the woman in the hopes they can get a little of the ol’ in-and-out. For some guys, picking up chicks is like second nature – they have the confidence and more importantly the thick skin to brush off wisecracks, putdowns, and negs. While pick up artists like Mystery wear goofy sh*t and pretend there are fights outside to get a woman’s attention, we at COED look no further than the movies for our inspiration.

These following tips and movies are shining examples of how to at least get them on the hook. The rest is up to you, playboy.

The holy grail of dating is to actually find a girl who’s hot but is still willing to go out with you. And as you’ve already figured out, that’s really hard. But even if you’re not as attractive or as suave as that friend who has so much sex you want to punch him, even if you “have no game,” there are a few ways to tip the scales in your favor.

Swingers are groups of people who engage in sex with others outside their own relationships. A swinging couple will swap partners with other couples for their sexual enjoyment. In the 1970s, this practice was often referred to as “wife swapping.” I have gone undercover into the world of swingers. Here are 6 things I learned about the swinger lifestyle.
