Not Every Woman With Headphones In Want To Hear You

Your techniques won't work on everyone.

Not Every Woman With Headphones In Want To Hear You

You may have heard of a man by the name of Dan Bacon recently. He's written some articles, but most notably, one entitled "How to Talk to a Woman Who is Wearing Headphones." It's caused controversy on both sides of the aisle. Some, especially feminists, have rightfully claimed to just not bother someone with headphones in as they're clearly there for a reason. Others have claimed it's a great article with wonderful tip, stating how they love a man who will take initiative. One of the comments that stuck out to me was, "Feminists will not rest until they have successfully turned every last man into an Obama-approved Pajama Boy. " (What.) On the article's page, Bacon, of course, has chosen to only post positive feedback.

This is also the same guy who, on his website The Modern Man, has become somewhat of a guru for guys trying to pick up women. He speaks of how he used to lack confidence and "despite being a good, honest guy, women just weren't interested." After he created "controversial attraction techniques" though, women found their way to him and he's enjoyed his selection ever since.

I honestly just can't help but laugh and I don't know if it's this article (which I haven't looked at others) or the way he presents the site and how he can magically help men pick up women. I do think that there is someone for everyone, but these remarkable tips that will help you great results instantly seem phony to me. Maybe those success stories are real and you've had hundreds of beautiful women! Congrats to you! But I know for me, and many other women I know, would not be up for these tips and ideas. If I have headphones in, I'm usually trying to mind my own business, get work done or have quiet time. The last thing I want is for a man to try and pick me up.

I'm probably not even that whole type of dude's type and I'm perfectly okay with that. So when I read or hear something about how to talk to a woman who is wearing headphones, let me go ahead and say, don't. Please- just don't.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
