Fair Warning: These aren’t sexist at all….just like bacon doesn’t taste good.

“I hate it when you smoke in the house,”

“I hate it when you leave the milk out of the fridge,”

“I hate it when you forget to feed The Gimp.”

But instead, take a different approach. Begin to take notice and focus on the little things that make you, and your significant other smile.

“I love it when you watch stupid movies with me,”

“I love it when you have something special prepared for dinner,”

“I love it when you feed The Gimp when it’s not even your turn.” (Yes, we did watch Pulp Fiction recently, how did you know?)

A spontaneous kiss, with a bit of passion, a nonsexual compliment, even a silly joke made at the right time, all can make a good situation even better, or lighten the mood when it desperately needs it. We’ve seen the tension thick enough to be cut with a samurai sword (by Bruce Willis) dissipate at something small, like a silly face, a hug, or just volunteering to do a little chore.

These vary from person to person of course. What is one woman’s charming action (holding a door, opening the dried up nail polish container, or singing a love song in front of an entire bar) can be another’s awkward situation or insult. Likewise, what one guy might consider cute (a nibble on the ear, a surprise lunch delivery, or a public lapdance) another might consider an annoyance. Being open about these things with one another can not only create new avenues for conversation, but can also lead to a happier “us.”

“What do you think looks good?” “What would you like to try?” “How willing are you to do a John Travolta impression during foreplay?”

Details, people, details.

Between technological innovations like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, AIM and Texting aka Sexting (to name a few), the need for a telephone for its actual use (to make phone calls) has become obsolete.

Instead of quickly punching in 10 numbers to make that phone call, those in long distance relationships opt to click their way through the process. An e-mail in the place of a phone call, a Facebook wall post in the place of a now-outdated text message. Technology is overlapping itself and it’s changing the way we do relationships.

So, is that good? Or is that bad? Kristin Kalning, games editor for msnbc.com, might say that it’s both.

She speaks with Jocelyn Bessard, a stay at home mom who met her match on an online social networking site.

Bessard says when communicating via instant messaging technology, “you’re forced to write, and be descriptive, and reveal more of yourself to that person than you would face to face”.

Good part of long distance relationships that capitalize on technological advancements: writing can give your partner a descriptive and creative insight as to who you are and what you’re really like.

We have to ask, really??

What is a relationship if you don’t want to have a conversation in person, or, god forbid, on the phone?! Yes, Jocelyn, you certainly have a “relationship”, but we’re not sure how complete it is.

Bessard says that lack of “completeness” ended her relationship.

She tells Kalning, “Every human being longs for some physical interaction with the person they love, even if it’s just a smile. You can’t get that through pixels so easily. Everything we thought we could convey through looking at a screen … something was missing. I couldn’t get a hug if I had a bad day and ultimately, that’s what ended it.”

Everyone needs a hug sometimes, Jocelyn, and we’re glad you realized that.

Our take on technology and relationships is this: it’s convenient, it’s easy and it makes logical sense.

But…

If you want to have a successful long distance relationship there needs to be enjoyable conversation, giddiness at the first hint of the other’s voice, a yearning for lust, a hug, a kiss. Twitter and Facebook won’t cut it in those departments, people.

We think you should get creative. Send a naughty package or picture or text message. Unless you’re Tiger Woods or Kim Kardashian, you can get away with it. You were thinking it so we’ll go ahead and say it: get a little kinky.

Tweet, post and Skype away, folks, but don’t let those be the dependent variables in your long distance relationship.

Over at TresSugar.com, we came across an article regarding Switzerland’s new creative plan to reduce teen pregnancy. They’re going to begin selling…Tiny Condoms.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The tiny condoms are made for tiny 12-14 year old Swiss boys. Apparently the pre-teen crowd in Switzerland have been getting pretty frisky these days and they aren’t using the proper protection while doing so.

We’re not really sure why the Swiss think this is going to be the solution.  It’s hard enough getting a grown man to buy rubbers,  how do you expect a 12 year old boy with no job to buy a pack?

Worst case scenario, it sparks a new trend and nymphs start hanging these miniature love socks from their rear-view mirrors the same way basketball fans hang baby basketball shoes!

Everyone reads about it, talks about it, gossips about it, and often times even tries it themselves. So if that’s the case, why do we make such a big deal about dating someone older?  Maybe it just makes for a good tabloid story?  Who knows. Regardless, it’s definitely not a big deal if you find yourself in a relationship with an age gap, and here’s 5 reasons why…

5. Age is just a number

Truly, it is. What’s the difference between 27 and 32? Our answer is five years. That’s it. There are always people who criticize men and women who date older men and women for no reason. In most cases, those people haven’t tried it out. Do you glare at the youngish, blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl on the arm of a 40-something businessman? Do you wonder how he sees anything in someone that couldn’t possibly have any brains? If you answered yes, you’re one of those people. That’s fine but frankly, we think you should try it out and then see how you feel.

4. Instant maturity

Maturity in terms of life experiences tends to come with age because, well, older people have lived longer than younger people. Duh, right? But really, hanging out with someone older can leave a lasting effect. Their life experiences become yours and their acquired knowledge becomes shared. Enough of the sappy stuff, already!

3. A fountain of knowledge…in bed

This is where dating older can get raunchy awesome! The older you get, the more sex you are likely to have had. The older you get, the better (and more creative) you get. Never heard of the catapult? Date someone older and find out for yourself. You’re welcome in advance.

2. You might just feel like the big man on campus

Remember in high school when Susie the freshman dated Bobby the senior? Or when Jimmy the sophomore dated Claire the junior? They were cool. Everyone wanted to know what Jimmy had that they didn’t. Senior girls want to know what Bobby saw in that freshman, Susie. It’s stupid and selfish but it’s true. Dating older is exhilarating in an “exploring new territory” kind of way. So, explore away! We promise it will be fun and that your chest might just puff out a little further than before.

1. Because it just shouldn’t matter

Helllooooooo people and welcome to the year 2010. We don’t discriminate against gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion. Why should we discriminate against age? Black or white, man or woman, 37 or 58? It’s all the same to us.

After having a conversation with a Mac representative, Wobble App developer Jon Atherton posted this summary of the new rules on his blog…

1. No images of women in bikinis (Ice skating tights are not OK either)

2. No images of men in bikinis! (I didn’t ask about Ice Skating tights for men)

3. No skin (he seriously said this) (I asked if a Burqa was OK, and the Apple guy got angry)

4. No silhouettes that indicate that Wobble can be used for wobbling boobs (yes – I am serious, we have to remove the silhouette in this pic)

5. No sexual connotations or innuendo: boobs, babes, booty, sex – all banned

6. Nothing that can be sexually arousing!! (I doubt many people could get aroused with the pic above but those puritanical guys at Apple must get off on pretty mundane things to find Wobble “overtly sexual!)

7. No apps will be approved that in any way imply sexual content (not sure how Playboy is still in the store, but …)

Perhaps this statement should be taken with a grain of salt, but if Atherton’s list is accurate, than it reveals a policy that is irresponsibly vague. Application developers making a living on their “risqué” apps may now find themselves with a seriously reduced income as a result of the bans. What’s worse is that, given the terms Apple has laid out, something as simple as an App for swimwear shopping could be banned.

What’s also worrisome is the double standard. Evidently, the App store approval department has never read an issue of Playboy, because that’s about as overtly sexy as it gets, while an app from the soft-core site Suicide Girls was banned for showing a woman in her lingerie. There is some talk of setting up an age restricted portion of the application store so that the adult customer base can get their fill of sexy silhouettes and “skin,” but frankly, and we know we aren’t the first to point this out: iPhone supports Safari. Safari is a web browser. There is a lot of porn to browse on the web. Ergo: The iPhone supports porn.

Yes, Apple can block a program preventing us from seeing a bit of lingerie, but a few pushes of a button later, and we can just go to the SG webpage, which is reportedly Safari friendly.

So, here we have what is, hopefully, just an overreaction meant to act as a stopgap until Apple rolls out something better. It’s more or less the same way we feel about the iPad.
