How to Trick Some Dude Into Dating/Marrying You Using Heteronormativity

Because men are objects to be caught or trapped, why shouldn't women also be pickup artists?

1. Use jokes. Guys like jokes. Make jokes and laugh at their jokes. A sense of humor shows that you're "one of the guys" and also feminine and totally not one of the guys, because gross. The point is: humor is sexy. Particularly in the form of jokes. (Get confused while telling or hearing raunchy jokes. Butcher the punchline or pretend not to know what a "blue" word means. You don't want to appear TOO savvy, you know?)

2. Don't hug him unless he asks for a hug in writing. When the submission has been approved by a committee of your most religious friends, don't fully embrace him but cross yourself as he embraces you. You don't want to appear easy. If he accidentally gets sideboob you'll both feel awkward, and he'll judge you for making him feel that way. Don't be that chick. That chick is the worst.

3. Demand he puts a ring on it before you agree to a drink. He'll know you value yourself.

4. In every picture, be laughing. Men like fun, carefree girls. Even when there's no camera, freeze yourself in a laughing expression.

5. Tell him he's literally the fastest runner in the world. Or that he probably has a big penis and you can't wait to find out for sure on your wedding night. Just throw random, borderline ridiculous compliments at him while hinting at wedding details. "I bet you're good at farming! And capable of fathering many children!" He'll be more aroused than creeped out.

6. Be barefoot. It shows how laid back and low maintenance you are. Also be in the kitchen, even if you're not cooking. You could be scrapbooking, knitting or doing something equally domestic and erotic. But you: barefoot and in the kitchen. He'll get the hint.

7. Talk about how inappropriately close you are to your daddy. It will make him jealous and want to be the alpha male, to compete with your dad by claiming you as his.

8. Openly mock feminism, but don't come across as excessively racist. That will show you're non-threatening.

9. Order a salad, then don't eat more than half of it. But don't be wasteful! Ask for the rest of it to go. It will show him you care about your body and his money.

10. Talk about ethics and morals, but not specifically what you think is moral/ethical. Just explain that you think morals and ethics are good and important. Avoid expressing your political opinion beyond the phrase "I agree."

11. Talk about how much you love your women friends, but just as friends. Unless he seems into it. Then talk about how much you love making out with women, but just as friends. Try to dance that delicate line that puts in his head the picture of you with other women, but avoids sexual agency.

12. Wear clothes. The right clothes. Clothes that suggest you're dying to get hitched, but not desperate for a husband. Dying, not desperate. It's a crucial difference. The point is, be a lady. Wear "lady" clothes. You know? Of course you do.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
