Hey, readers. In the mood for some Pulitzer-worthy journalism? Maybe a complex think piece to really get the intellectual juices a-flowin’? Or alternatively, are you wondering if there’s a right or wrong way to kiss someone? (Spoiler alert: there is).
Well, you’re in luck!
The ladies of Stucu have written a guest post for our friends over at datingadvice.com. May we present to you (drumroll please):
In case you’re wondering, yes, we did call out an ex of mine in the article who I affectionately nicknamed Trouty Mouth, the same chump who canceled a date and dumped me the day after my birthday. So… am I thoroughly enjoying the fact that he’s been immortalized on the internet for being the worst kisser ever?
Why yes, as a matter of fact I am.
Anyway, if you’d like to read our thoughts, or judge your skills based on our criteria asD (not co-blogger D,guy I’m dating D)immediately did:
…then we thank you in advance for your awesome support! If you’re the world’s greatest kisser, or you just don’t give a shit, well fair enough, friend. We’ll have our third and final post celebrating our weird preoccupations (incidentally, we’ll be celebrating mine) later this week, so stay tuned.
Before I get down to business, just a few quick announcements. First, some exciting news: Stucu was named one of the 10 Best Blogs for Dating in the City by DatingAdvice.com. Woohoo! Check out our sweet badge:
And our little write uphere. Apparently, someone out there thinks our advice is “solid”. Well, shucks! That makes us feel like…
Now, for the PSA portion of today’s post. For those of you who are interested, you can sign up to be notified via email whenever we publish a new post. It’s super easy, so easy even my computer illiterate mom can do it (no offense, mom, but you and I both know you’ve only just gotten the hang of Microsoft Word. Love you!)
To sign up for email notifications, do one of the following two things:
Scroll to the very bottom of this page to where it says ‘Follow Stucu’. Enter your email address, click ‘update me’ and voila! You’re all set.
Alternatively, if you see a little black ‘follow’ box at the bottom right hand corner of this page, you can also click to expand it, enter your email address, and hit ‘sign me up’. You’re golden.
I’m making this little announcement partially because our # of current followers is what some might call “sad and pathetic”, but more importantly because I was chatting with a friend recently who had no idea you could sign up for email notifications and was just coming to our site daily to check for new content. Which is wonderful! But also a pain in the ass. And if there’s one thing I value in life, it’s enabling myself (and others) to be lazy. So there you have it.
Now, on to today’s main event, our pic of the week:
Okay then. That is… something. I know I don’t need to remind you all about my feelings re: bathroom selfies. I mean, I’ve lambasted dudes for taking a picture fully clothed while standing up in their bathrooms. Meanwhile this suitor just dropped trou, drew a bath and went straight for the money shot (God, I actually hope not, although who knows where that right hand has disappeared to…)
I’m thinking that this guy probably posted this…unique shot in the hopes that the ladies of Okcupid would gaze at his bare, hairy chest and be instantly turned on, so turned on that they would HAVE to shoot him a message in the hopes that they’d be invited into that tub. But honestly, I took one look at those outrageously fluffy bubbles and thought of one thing, and one thing only:
Proooobably not what Mr. Tub Man was going for, but there you have it. God, Sesame Street was the best.
In case you were wondering, here were the next thoughts that ran through my head, in chronological order:
Thought #2: Dude. We both know you’re going to drop that phone straight into the bubbly abyss, and then where will we be? Without more sensual selfies, that’s where we’ll be.
Thought #3: The placement of that ‘x’ is fantastic. Come on, dude nipples are funny.
Thought #4: Do we think he was playing a sensual jam in the background? I’d like to think that he was. And I’d like to think that it was this classic (the bath action starts at 1:55, FYI). Take it away, boys:
Stupid Cupid
