Articles from The Bad Girls' Guide

On Being a Good Girl 2007-06-30 07:17:00 I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who has been known, since the college years as the good girl of our bunch. I haven't spoken to her in a while and was actually surprised that she had still kept her good girl image practically pristine since graduation. (We all know what happened to my good girl image...;) She stated that even though she was a good girl in actions, she grew to ...

Giving the Perfect Gift to Your Man 2007-06-27 22:32:00 So based on yesterday's post, it seems like everyone has been stuck in a similar dilemma one time or another. When it comes to presents, especially in a new relationship, what is the best type of gift to give? It's a catch 22, if you go all out, he might think you are trying to buy his affections. However if you go on the lighter tip, he might think he's not that significant in your life. In ...

Hot Seat Tuesday 2007-06-26 05:08:32 I was on the phone today with my old college bud and she was at the mall desperately trying to find the perfect gift for her beau on his birthday. Her birthday fell just 3 days before his and he went all out, hooking her up to a lovely flat screen TV, a camera and a card that 'made her cry'. It's the 6 month point of their relationship, she gave him his fav cologne for Christmas and she only had ...

On Spending Time with His Ex 2007-06-24 01:16:00 I got a question today that elicited a "Oh Hell Fucking No!" response. What does a Bad Girl do when your boyfriend wants to spend time with his ex-girlfriend? I'm not from the school of thought that supports fraternizing with an ex. An ex is an ex for a reason---you two broke up. Sure, you can be amicable and grown about it, even acting mature when you do interact socially, but going out of your ...

When He Pulls the Disappearing Act 2007-06-20 05:08:00 Definition: A disappearing act occurs when you've been dating or talking to someone for while and all of a sudden, he/she stops returning your calls, doesn't reply your messages, is unreachable, and pretty much drops off the face of the earth. I know from personal experience that getting the disappearing act pulled on you is upsetting and quite irritating. Depending on how emotionally invested ...

Dealing with a Joy Stealer 2007-06-18 03:32:00 Definition: A joy stealer is a person that derives pleasure and entertainment from making other people miserable. Known in sexual circles as a masochist, a joy stealer is only content when they are embroiled in a battle of wills, wits, emotions, hissy fits, screaming matches, bullying, fighting and making other people miserable. I really don't know the etiology of a joy stealer, but she is also ...

Returning Gifts Post Breakup 2007-06-15 02:00:00 Most people believe that once a gift is given, regardless of what it is, it remains property of the receiver. However for some petty reason post breakup, a good portion of couples want to divide assets as if they were squabbling over divorce property. One of my good college friends would never, ever give a gift back post breakup. She'd rather keep it and have a burning party of her own a la ...

Need Some Help... 2007-06-13 21:46:00 A friend of mine recently sent me information about a well known erotica publishing house that is looking for new writers. I've been working on my first draft of a story that I had sitting in my brain and then sitting on my computer for a while. However now that I have some direction as in what the publisher wants, I have a better idea where the story is going. Now here is where you guys come in ...

Hot Seat Tuesday 2007-06-12 01:18:00 I'm going through a shit-load of emotions right now so I'll keep this short and simple. For today's question, how do you deal with your emotions? Here's my short list and I hope you'll compile one too. Happy ~ Cook or write. Either way, something creative. Sad ~ Escape to a book or movie. If it's really bad, then cry. Angry ~ Shout it out or clam up...depends on which variation of anger. Horny ~ ...

Being in Relationships After Rape & Molestation 2007-06-09 23:52:00 Okay, thank you Julie & Mistress for deciphering that. I was totally off base. How does a girl get over molestation in her life to move on with her new man and to learn more in the bedroom with him, learn to walk alone with out being afraid? This is one of those dark topics that are really difficult to handle. There isn't a rule or yardstick for everyone, and it sounds like your girl has been ... Amp

Phone Etiquette for Dummies 2007-06-06 03:48:00 I was cleaning out my hard drive and came across this article that I had written when Baggage Reclaim first got started, so I never published it on here. Since this week we seem to be on the topic of phone calls I figured it was applicable. It's in the snarky vein that most of you seem to enjoy....I'm not mentioning any names but you know who you are! Calling a perfect stranger for the first ...

Hot Seat Tuesday 2007-06-05 03:24:00 I need more blogs to read. For some reason I've lost a good cachet of my tried and true favorite bloggers so I need ones to replace them. I'm mostly into blogs that give good advice, relationship-y type blogs and of course, blogs that talk about sex. So if you know any good ones, drop me a comment. Thanks! ...

When She Doesn't Pick Up the Phone 2007-06-05 01:24:00 I got a question from a reader yesterday telling me that he's found a woman that he feels is the one woman for him. The only problem is she isn't picking up the phone---so what's he gonna do? Here's the deal, there are just a few reasons why a lady won't pick up or call you back in a reasonable time frame. (Reasonable is defined usually by 1-4 days depending on whether it's the weekend or work ...
