discussion

This AskReddit user decided to look closely at the male relationship with the idea of romance, and how the drive to find love can shape a man's life. This won't apply for everyone, but it's an engaging read, nonetheless. 

Star Wars has ignited all kinds of thoughtful discussions on what really constitutes a fail in the movie business. There's a whole lot more to it than meets the eye. At the end of the day, you also can't deny that there will always be someone around ready to complain about something. 

Trying is the seed of failure. And these folks tried to do all sorts of things. Some tried to sound smart. Some tried to send dick pics. Some tried to simply express themselves online. And boy did they mess up big.

Ah, double standards. I could almost hear the groans and sighs of irritation from some of you out there, no doubt off put by the very fact we invite these kinds of discussions in online forums. If there's one thing that became glaringly evident, scrolling through the rants and tangents of this AskReddit to pull some decent pointers (at least I hope so), it's that a relationship is a game of give and take. The playing field between romantic partners is continually shifting, and sure, norms, gender stereotypes suck; but we're not going to break down standards that have stood the test of time up to this point in a day. So we can all just point 'em out, shine a spotlight on 'em, and maybe figure out why they're there and ultimately, why they shouldn't be. I'm trying to remain neutral here for the sake of spurring discussion between you guys, the audience; but I'll be sure to jump in on dat comments section if the discussion really gets going. 

Brace yourself gentle-ladies and gentlemen, because we are about to dive deep down the ever complex and mighty confusing rabbit's hole that is the female's brain. And in this case we're covering the biggest behemoth of 'em all: sex. For the sake of full disclosure here, I was genuinely aghast at some of these dark 'n depraved guilty pleasures; but at the same time, ultimately, to each her own. Right?

Some of these are definite, total common sense...but others, not at all. We love when we come across discussions like this over on Reddit, because these are the kinds of insights some of us can actually really benefit from!
