Southern Gentlemen, We Need You Up North

I just really don't understand northern guys...

I am sitting here right now, wondering... Why are guys out of state so much easier to talk to? Why are they so much nicer? Why do they actually seem to care about my feelings? WHY DON'T WE HAVE GUYS LIKE THIS AROUND HERE?

Well let me tell you what I have come up for as far as answers to the questions above. First, I think it's because they aren't physically here to see face to face. We text, snap, or FaceTime, but they are not actually here. Second, I think they are so much nicer because they are from the south and guys from the south were raised right by their mama's! Last, but finally not least, I think they actually care about my feelings, because they were raised right by their mama's.

As far as why don't we have guys like this around here, I am not saying their mothers didn't raise them right, because I am sure they were raised just fine; it's just the environment. The guys around here get hanging with the wrong people and it's over, and they know their mom's won't do anything about it, I like to say mom's here are too soft on their sons. Mama's in the south don't give a sh**. You hurt a girl's feelings or anything like that and your mama will kick your a**.

I am going to give you a little more detail about my situation... The guy I have been talking to lives in the southern states and he is the most respectful guy I have ever talked to in my entire 23 years of life. He actually cares about how my day went, he takes the time to listen if i am having a bad day. He is just an amazing guy! He makes me feel like I can talk to him about anything. This whole situation gives me hope; it also makes me realize how the guys up here really are.

I know I keep saying the guys up here, but let me just rephrase most guys up here... I can tell you one thing for sure - most guys up here only care about one thing. It's honestly sad, growing up I honestly thought the guys around here were the best things in the world... But boy, was I wrong. They are the most inconsiderate men i have ever met... Again, some - not all! I can't really put all men in one category, because they aren't all the same. There are some good guys around here. I seem to just attract one kind... The bad ones!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
