A recent LIFE slideshow listed the ways that New Yorkers are able to spot a tourist — from how slow they walk to how they gawk at celebrities. As a person who is planning on making a trip to the other coast this year, I felt a little miffed (codeword for annoyed as s***), because […]
Rewind to a few months ago: the OBC team was thinking about a massive overhaul. A site rebranding, if you will, that would freshen the site’s look and feel and resolidify us as the #1 casual dating site in the world. Then we remembered one of the most fun, entertaining projects we’ve ever released: The […]
Good news for everyone at OBC! post-sex reading and strawberries. img @ momlogic When a Princeton lab group read up about a study showing that stressful, unpleasant situations could actually inhibit brain growth, they had a question: what about stressful but pleasant situations, like say, sex? So they rustled up some sexually active, booty-call-lovin’ rodents […]
Reason 4,598 people should avoid long-term relationships: they might give you a heart attack. Relationship insecurity (n): the constant fear that you’re not good enough and your partner will cheat, and extreme fear of rejection. Assuming you aren’t some sort of AI robot (and if you are, please consider me a friend when you take […]
I guess I should probably restate that subject line as “Reflections on Comic-Con 2010 from Someone Who Went for the Last Five Minutes of One Day,” but that’s just not as catchy, is it? I’ll be honest, my experience of this year’s SDCC International was… less than stellar. I spent most of the weekend slinging […]
AskMen’s annual Great Male Survey came out this week, and it is just full of interesting facts. Many sites are just looking at this year’s results and making assumptions based on those, but we are hard-hitting journalists here at BCU and we don’t half-ass things like other websites (false: we usually half-ass things). So we […]
After watching the hilarious video below featuring comedian Peet Guercio discussing quite possibly the most uncomfortable post-hookup e-mail (e-mail?! Really?!) ever to be sent ever, we began thinking about our own awkward post-hook up stories so you know to avoid them. Keep this post bookmarked for future reference, because you know it’s gonna happen eventually. […]
Breaking up is hard to do, so Neil Sedaka said, and we agree, except in times when an entertaining, out with a bang break up is necessary. Perhaps you caught your SO in a tryst or have finally realized that without some sort of catastrophic event, your relationship will never end and you’ll be stuck […]
A friend and I got into a heated debate over coffee a couple days ago over a very important issue: the teabag. No, not green or jasmine teabags and their homeopathic healing powers, but the kind of teabags that dudes give each other after one of them has passed out drunk. I, using my powers […]
As a server who has worked in the Gaslamp district for three summers now, I feel as though I have a bit of insight that could potentially help those Downtown industry-newbies who are about to experience the wrath of the 150,000 person convention this year. If you’re reading this, and you have not yet mentally […]
