Zodiac Signs on a first date

April 25, 2017 by Clairissa Gonzalez 4 Comments

By Blair Gonzalez | Staff Writer | We've all had terrible dates and have hoped to God (or whoever you many or may not believe in) never to see that person again. In case you needed a reminder of just how terrible people can be, here is the worst thing your sign is most likely to say on a first date. Aries: "Do you mind if my friend stops by?" Taurus: "Are you gonna finish that?" Gemini: "I was worried you were a catfish." Cancer: "I love you." Leo: "Do you want me to put a CD on? I've got Nickelback." Virgo: "Monogamy isn't realistic." Libra: "I'm sorry, but is the dog from your profile picture joining us at all tonight?" Scorpio: "So I paid for this drink and … [Read more...] about Zodiac Signs on a first date

Till swiping left do us part

November 14, 2016 by Geraldine Carrillo 138 Comments

By Geraldine Carrillo |Staff Writer| We swipe right if the person is attractive. Later, a conversation strikes by an instant message notification with a goal - a one night stand, or a long term relationship. The way we communicate with others has not only changed our way of living, but also our way of loving. Is it courtship, love or just simply sex? Finding the right person for the right reason is what makes these dating sites and apps a bit foggy and misleading. “I have used a couple of dating sites maybe twice or three times, I don't go on there to find love, I honestly just go to have a good night or hook up,” said student Jose Arellano. Although some people do think … [Read more...] about Till swiping left do us part

By Seungkyung Baek   |Staff Writer| Students gathered on Tuesday evening’s communicating, dating and relating event where experts spoke as part of a mandatory sexual violence training program in SMSU on Oct. 18.

Dating and Relationship Goals

May 5, 2016 by Archived posts 143 Comments

Rachel Rundengan |Staff Writer| Is it just me, or is my generation (generation Y) extremely pessimistic about dating and relationships? As I examine the trends and humor in social media such as Instagram, Vine, and Twitter, I began to realize that if not all, most are associated with courtship and romance. Whether it would be about a man being too desperate, or a woman being overly jealous, they all have one thing in common – and that is cynicism. The irony of all this is the creation of a new trend that stemmed from the bitterness of generation Y, the “relationship goals.” The general idea of “relationship goals” is everything that a person finds perfect in a relationship—of … [Read more...] about Dating and Relationship Goals

Valentine’s Day survival guide

February 9, 2016 by Archived posts 41 Comments

By Erendy Torres |Staff Writer| Valentines Day is right around the corner and do you know what that means? Bingo—you guessed it: first dates, roses, chocolates, teddy bears, and potential new relationships. Ahhh, the romanticism. Or it can be completely opposite: single, stuffing your face with chocolate ice cream, watching reruns of "Friends," and wiping your runny nose on your cat. Though the second scenario sounds quite tempting, you will not spend Valentine's Day alone. The ratio of single men in their 20's to single women in their 20's is 1.2 to 1 according to the website Statistic Brain Research Institute. You will not be part of either of those ratios. Having a … [Read more...] about Valentine’s Day survival guide

Women should not be characterized by their sexual activities

November 24, 2015 by Archived posts 5 Comments

By Erendy Torres |Staff Writer| If you have a vagina and are no longer a virgin, chances are you have been considered a slut at least once in your lifetime. Actually, you don't necessarily even have to be deflowered to be considered a slut. If you have a vagina, you still qualify. "It seems the word slut can be applied to any activity that doesn't include knitting, praying, or sitting perfectly still lest any sudden movements be deemed whorish," stated Jessica Valenti in the article, "He's a Stud, She's a Slut: The Sexual Double Standard" Women should not be viewed as slutty or whoreish if they decide to maintain an active sex life with multiple men throughout their life. If most … [Read more...] about Women should not be characterized by their sexual activities

Deal Breakers

October 18, 2015 by Archived posts 40 Comments

By Sarah Johnson |Staff Writer| Roughly 50 percent of American adults are single, according to Public Radio International, which is a 28 percent raise from 1950. You'd think with all the advances in technology, social media, and online dating sites, this number wouldn't be so high, right? Wrong. With technology making it so easy to meet any and every one, we've become somewhat picky, selective, or stuck up—whichever way you choose to look at it. "There's a little paradox-of-choice problem. You have so many different options that it's easy to find the flaws with each one," according to Eric Klinenberg, sociology professor at New York University and author of "Going Solo: The … [Read more...] about Deal Breakers

Coyote dating Expectations

October 25, 2014 by Archived posts 3 Comments

By Danielle Brooks |Staff Writer| Dating in college can come easy for some and may not be a priority for others. Some go to college looking to find their future spouse while the rest are enjoying the single life looking to have a good time. “College students prefer short-term, casual relationships over long-term relationships because it allows them to focus on their academic and career goals,” according to an article by Heather Fishel from campusexplorer.com. “I’m perfectly okay with being single right now. I’m young and I just want to make the best of my college experience and not let anyone get in the way of it,” said student Cheyenne Crawford. Since many students would … [Read more...] about Coyote dating Expectations

Dating apps: Catfish trap or soulmate finder?

October 25, 2014 by Archived posts 5 Comments

By Ariana Cano |Staff writer| Online dating applications and websites can be a fun and useful tool, but some users may take them too seriously. Online dating users should keep in mind that many people may only want to engage in casual sex or a quick hook-up. While some agree dating sites are an innovative way of breaking the ice, others claim it is a waste of time. Dating websites or apps such as eHarmony, Match, Tinder, Grindr, BlackPeopleMeet, Christian Mingle, and many others are created for people to connect online, regardless of location. When signing up, the user must provide information such as name, age, gender, sexual preference, a profile picture, and a brief personal … [Read more...] about Dating apps: Catfish trap or soulmate finder?

Forever[not]alone

February 14, 2012 by Archived posts 42 Comments

You're not alone, alone.

Let’s talk about being single. I mean desperate. I mean dying alone. Never mind. Let’s start over…I’m wanting to start something special with someone, with a partner. Multiple partners as a matter of fact; and no, this is not Mitt Romney's blog. I'm talking about you, the readers. I want more than one kind of people to take something away from my entries. Perhaps someone will take comfort in knowing they're not alone in being alone. Maybe you're not someone who goes out every night to listen to music that's way too loud and hang around people that are way too drunk. At the very least you got to respect a Coyote spilling their guts to the Interwebs. Discovering someone … [Read more...] about Forever[not]alone
