Sometimes men obviously display their interest in you and other times they don’t.

Men, however, are fairly simple beasts. Sociologists, life coaches, and the occasional Carrie Bradshaw wannabe have devoted countless hours to studying the complex and subtle mating ques of the male homo sapien. The research is in and we have discovered that if he invites you to “Netflix and chill,” he is likely interested. However, if he approaches the subject with a little more subtlety, it may be challenging to figure out if he’s actually into you.

Look out for the following, but don’t take it too seriously. Behavioral patterns and body language can be very telling, but it’s also possible that what you interpret as nervousness around you, is him actually trying to hold in his explosive diarrhea from too much Taco Bell.

1. He pulls on or fixes his tie when you talk to him:

If you encounter him in a workplace setting (or if he’s just an extremely dapper dude), you may notice him tugging on or fixing his tie frequently. This could be a subconscious sign of attraction. Basically, he’s letting you know he’s a man and men wear ties.

Translation: “Look, I’m a man. I wear a tie like men wear. I have broad shoulders, like men have. I’m a man. Have sex with me.”

Clearly, body language isn’t as eloquent as his English (hopefully).

2. He stands tall and proud:

Again, leadership is a trait typically associated with being an alpha male. Men like to assert their manliness and throw it out there for all to see.

If he stands up straight around you, his body is trying to tell you he’s interested and wants you to view him as a viable Alpha.

3. He laughs at your jokes:

According to science, we find people funnier when we’re attracted to them. If you tell a joke to a group of people and he is the only one who busts a gut, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is he’s probably into you. The bad news is you probably aren’t that funny.

The reason we laugh at the jokes of those we find attractive has to do with mating habits and group behaviors. Humans are social creatures. Our species learned over thousands of years that if you aren’t part of the group, you’re likely dead. Humor is a way of showing membership in a group because you “get it” in ways outsiders don’t. When he laughs at your stupid jokes, it shows he’s trying to be a part of your group.

4. Pay attention to his feet. Are they pointing in your direction?

You  know what they say about men with big feet: they wear big shoes.

The size his feet are irrelevant. Oddly enough, this subject has been researched multiple times and studied over and over (imagine doing your doctoral research on the correlation between show size and penis length) and the conclusion is consistently that there is little correlation between shoe size and the size of his favorite appendage.

However, his feet can give valuable insight about his second favorite head: his feet can tell you what he’s thinking. Feet are actually very telling about how invested somebody is in the conversation. If somebody speaks to you with one foot pointing toward the room (or, especially, the door!), they’re looking for an escape. They possibly want to talk to somebody else or they just find you painfully dull. However, if somebody stands with both feet facing you directly, they are literally aligning themselves with you.

You can test how aligned somebody is by walking slightly to the left or right. If they move with your body, they want to continue being aligned with you.

5. He catches your eye across the room:

This is probably the most telling thing a man can do to show interest. If you catch him looking at you, especially if you frequently lock eyes, there’s a good chance he’s consciously interested in you.

Staring (or even inconspicuously looking) can feel invasive and we often try to avoid staring. If he’s singling you out to look at you intently, there’s some further interest going on there.

If you catch him staring once, that’s a strong indicator. If you catch him staring more often than not, there’s something deeper going on here.

I’ve been having this problem lately.

Whenever I talk to somebody, I always try to look them in the eyes. For a long time, I was a mouth-starer, one of those people who watches the way your mouths moves when you talk, rather than looking you in the eyes. However, I have lately been distracted by another facial feature: eyebrows.

Whenever I find myself talking to a pretty girl (or at least one who wears makeup), I’m incredibly distracted by her eyebrows. I see the straight line drawn an inch above the cornea, dark shadowing caressing the brow bone, and then a tiny point, often wrapping its way past where the natural brow ends.

Typically, this encounter ends with me saying something like, “I’ll take a chocolate shake too. Oh, and can I get some eyebrows with that?”

The Tomboy in me will never understand why ladies do their eyebrows.

It is an anomaly I can’t wrap my mind around. Waking up every morning is difficult enough for me, but drawing matching curves onto my face (which are destined to look uneven in my case), is a feat I will never achieve. I’ve even tried doing my eyebrows. Once.

Some ladies understand makeup and know how to do weird things like contour their faces and draw their eyebrows until they are properly “on fleek.” Unfortunately, I am not one of those girls.

If you have any of the following characteristics, there may be a chance you have not achieved fleek status either:

You’ve never been able to do winged eyeliner either: IF you manage to get the left eye right, forget about matching the other to it. You likely screw both up and then you have to start all over.

You Instagram your cat more often then yourself: Mr. Fluffy is too presh to not take a million pictures of him. How can I resist showing Fluffers to the world?

You hate Taylor Swift: The bullsh*tter in me wants to tell you that there is a direct correlation between people who hate Taylor Swift and those who cannot do their eyebrows. Studies have even been carried out with a 3% margin of error. (But seriously, can we get a sociologist on this one? I swear there has to be accuracy in this claim.)

You don’t like clickbait: you read it (duh). You just don’t like it.

You’re impatient: I’m the queen of impatience. If I send you a text message, I want you to respond yesterday. I do not have the discipline to tediously draw on my eyebrows each morning and make sure they match.

Despite what you probably believe, happiness is always a choice. Happy people aren’t lucky, they actively fight for their happiness every single day instead of crumbling in the face of setbacks and the tragedies.

Take a look at the top four rules you need to follow to always choose happiness.

4. Accept that happiness requires effort.

Nothing in this world that’s worth having comes easy, and happiness is no different. It’s easy to get stuck in the trap of being envious of everyone else’s seemingly ‘perfect’ lives, but you never see how much work went into being happy, and all the ways that person fought for themselves and their happiness.

Once you accept that happiness requires constant effort, minor setbacks will no longer feel like the end of the world. Instead, you’ll be more prepared to handle a setback because you’re constantly fighting for yourself and are in more control of how you handle situations.

3. Figure out what you believe in-and stick to it.

We all have expectations for ourself, and how our lives will play out, but if your actions don’t reflect your beliefs and goals, you’ll constantly feel inadequate. Once you figure out what’s truly important, start acting accordingly, and you’ll be amazed at how fast you feel proud of yourself for working towards the things that make you happy.

2. Don’t make it harder for yourself than it already is.

When something you perceive to be negative happens, you have two choices. You can choose to let your attitude and your perceptions about something make you miserable. Or, you can choose to look for a silver lining and use the opportunity to grow as a person.

Think back to the last time you thought your world was falling apart. Was it actually as bad as you convinced yourself it was? Was there anything that you could have done or appreciated that would have make the experience easier? We often fail to realize that our warped perceptions and attitudes have a much bigger impact on our happiness than the actual circumstance itself.

1. Embrace every moment in the moment.

If there’s one guarantee in life, it’s that things will happen in your life that you can’t control, and that will make you feel miserable. You may never be able to control what happens to you, but you can control how you react in the wake of those experiences.

Choosing to be happy requires you to stop dwelling on the past, and worrying about the future. Instead, take it one day at a time, embrace the good and the bad. When things are going well, don’t let something negative taint the happiness, and when times are bad, remember there is always something to be happy about.

When Ryan Read, a registered nurse, was watching an episode of HGTV’s Flip or Flop, she noticed a concerning lump on Tarek El Moussa’s neck.

Ryan decided to send an email to the show’s producers so she wouldn’t appear like a crazy fan. In the email Ryan wrote: “This is not a joke. I’m a registered nurse. I’ve been watching Flip or Flop. I noticed that the host Tarek has a large nodule on his thyroid, and he needs to have it checked out.”

Tarek had noticed the lump in his neck before, but his doctors assured him that nothing was wrong. When his Flip or Flop producer forwarded him Ryan’s email, he decided to get a second opinion.

This time, doctors took a biopsy of the lump, and discovered it was cancerous and that it has already spread to his lymph nodes.

“When I woke up, my wife was crying and the first thing I asked was, ‘It’s cancer, isn’t it?’,” Tarek said. “And she said, ‘Yeah.’”

Thankfully the cancer hadn’t spread past his neck, and the 34-year-old HGTV star is now in remission after undergoing radioactive iodine therapy.

Watch the video below to see how this nurse saved a man’s life just by watching TV.

We all know Trump is running for President as a Republican candidate, which is odd because I thought he was running for President as a joke.

But surely it’s nothing Mr. Trump can’t overcomb. Yes, friends, campaign season is in full swing and nothing seems to be trumping this one. We thought Mitt Romney and his remarks about binders full of women were fodder for internet memes, but even Mitt couldn’t catch the heat that Trump has manifested.

Bear in mind this is a man who has suggested keeping a registry of Muslim Americans.

As aligns with the true nature of democracy and free speech, television personality and all-around goddess Ellen DeGeneres compiled a piece of art. The video is one that trumps all others of its kind.

Take a look:

As the 2016 elections progress, only time will tell where this farce will go next:

In the meantime, people like Donald Trump are keeping me both employed and highly entertained. I can not comment on the man’s politics, but I will not hesitate to comment on his hairpiece.

All I can say is that if Donald Trump becomes the next President of the United States, there will be hell toupee.

Once upon a time, back in the old country, cartel leaders and drug lords could only brag about their bling to their friends, now they have social media…

And social media is of course an amazing place to show off all the money and guns you have stolen, whether it’s on Facebook or via sites like Twitter. So just think how happy all those egotistical cartel leaders are that they can finally show off their wares properly, and even enjoy feedback in the form of comments from their friends.

Social media, and the internet in general, can be a tremendous force for good and for evil, and it’s little surprise that drug dealers and others of their type use it cynically to boast and to show off.

But these 20 Mexican cartel leaders definitely take the biscuit when it comes to brazen boasting, as you can see from their Twitter posts…

Dogs try really hard to be good, but when it comes to a thanksgiving feast, they just can’t seem to help themselves. 

The aroma of chicken, candied yams, sweet potato and pie gets them every time.

Some patiently wait without making a peep to be fed even a delicious morsel of turkey, and others bark uncontrollably, causing quite a ruckus.

Check out the hysterical antics these dogs pulled on Thanksgiving: 

“I ate the (raw) Thanksgiving turkey. I am thankful that it was delicious. I have no regret.” – Maia

“I opened the oven door and stole a whole turkey.”

“I just ate the Thanksgiving yams.”

“I ate the dogwalkers chicken salad. No regrets it was tasty and I am starved.”

“I ate the pumpkin pie, now I’m in jail.”

“I just got a $450 enema from my vet to blow out the Thanksgiving dinner garbage that I ate last week.”

“Last night, I ate all the leftover turkey, peed on the bathroom mat and pooped in the living room. Definitely a black Friday for my mom and dad.” – Scotty

“I pulled down the pumpkin pie while everyone slept. Took it to my bed for a midnight snack… and ate the crust edge.. my moms favorite part!”

“I jumped on the Thanksgiving table and licked the plates.”

“I tripped my mommy and got mashed potatoes dumped on my head! Happy Thanksgiving.” -Trey

“I make my own Thanksgiving dinner out of the garbage can.” -Sophie

“I helped unpack the food shopping- the ham and turkey breast slices were the best!! Never ashamed.” – Charlie B.

“My name is L.T. I totally snarfed the pumpkin bread before Thanksgiving. I have no shame.”

“I took 4 sticks of butter from a grocery bag. Ate 2, smeared the 3rd into the couch. Mom is still searching for the 4th.”

“We felt bad for my dog having to watch us eat Thanksgiving dinner from the window outside so we took our food upstairs.. A few minutes later I saw this out the window.” 

“I thought when you said, ‘No Pie,’ you said ‘eat the Whole Pie.'”

“I tried to kill the turkey!”

These are some of the most awesome, most scary pictures of armed forces personnel you are ever likely to see…

You don’t want to be a bad guy on the wrong side of the law when it comes to this lot. Indeed, we reckon Osama Bin Laden was trembling in his headscarf when the US special forces showed up to assassinate him.

But it isn’t just American special forces who are scary, there are crack units around the globe who are in the business of taking out terrorists before they have a chance to do damage and take lives. These guys are well-equipped, highly trained, and ready for action at the drop of a hat.

In short, you don’t want to find yourself on the wrong side of these elite fighting machines. We suggest you just look long and hard at this gallery and observe from a safe distance…

You can’t pick your family, but you can choose your friends, which is why Friendsgiving is so much fun. Of course you love even the craziest of relatives, but there’s nothing better than spending the day eating and drinking with your chosen family.

Here are the five reasons why celebrating Thanksgiving with friends is just as good, if not better, than the real thing.

5. You can celebrate Friendsgiving whenever you want.

Unlike the official holiday, Friendsgiving can be celebrated any day you and your friends choose. Depending on where everyone works and if they have plans for Thanksgiving with family, it might be difficult for everyone to celebrate on the official day- and that’s ok.

Since Friendsgiving is about the company, not the details, it doesn’t matter if it’s a few days before or after the real day.

4. Friendsgiving gives you another excuse to eat, drink, and celebrate friendship.

Those who do celebrate Thanksgiving with family know that the holidays can be a stressful time that puts even more strain on any existing family dramas. If you spend half your real Thanksgiving biting your tongue, or making sure your clashing relatives are getting along, a Friendsgiving allows you to actually enjoy the holiday and everything it represents.

Not to mention, you can also pig out on your favorite dishes without having to worry that your snarky aunt will make comments on your eating habits.

3. It’s cheaper than the real thing.

As many as 47 million Americans have to travel to get home for Thanksgiving, and along the way, the cost of airfare, gas, and possible hotel bills can quickly add up to a very expensive trip. For those who can’t afford such a pricey trip, Friendsgiving lets them celebrate without emptying their bank accounts.

2. Friendsgiving is stress-free.

Aside from avoiding traveling during one of the busiest times of the year, Friendsgiving is stress and pressure-free because none of the guests will care if the Turkey’s a little dry, or even if the silverware is set properly.

Friendsgivings are typically done pot-luck style, which also keeps the host from have a mental-breakdown trying to prepare an elaborate four course meal. Instead, everyone brings their specialty dish, or assigned item without the stress.

1. Friendsgiving lets the people who can’t celebrate with family get into the holiday spirit.

Just because you can’t celebrate the holiday with your blood doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the holiday altogether. If you can’t afford to make it back home to celebrate with family, or you have complicated family issues, Friendsgiving is a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

Your friends already know and accept everything about you and love you for who you are, so there’s no reason to feel alone or left out this Thanksgiving.

There’s hotels then there’s hotels, and these are most definitely the latter. Encompassing the height of luxury and attention to detail, this little list will have you booking your dream vacation in no time…

Before booking your summer vacation next year, take a look at these very unique hotels from around the world. Some of these places have to most definitely be on your ‘must see’ list of places to visit.

Whether it be sleeping inside a giant dog, or a glass bubble, this is a great reference to check before you book!

As Autumn comes to an end and Winter begins to draw us into its chilly embrace, we’re often left with nostalgia this time of the year.

We reminisce on the days of trick-or-treating in Halloweens past. We watch dry, scattered leaves toss themselves about the streets, playing tag as we used to do ourselves. We ponder our past while we think about the future.

This meandering down memory lane made lead us to contemplate life’s big questions: is there a God?; What is the meaning of life?; Are we alone out there?; What is the drunkest holiday in America?

Yes, it’s the significant questions such as these that we debate as the holidays once again draw near.

There are certain days each year when overindulging is more than encouraged– it’s required. Holiday cheer isn’t always the easiest sentiment to muster up on your own, but on these holidays, when the alcohol flows like water, the cheer is widespread. These are the days it’s hardest to stay sober. These are the top ten drunkest holidays of the year.

10. Super Bowl Sunday

This is literally the most American holiday of all American holidays. We gather around the television and praise commercials as much as the sporting event itself. Is there anything more complimentary to than ritual than guzzling copious amounts of alcohol?

But, it’s not the drunkest holiday…we still have work the next morning

9. Mardi Gras

Also known as Fat Tuesday is more of a series of weeks rather than an actual day if you live in New Orleans. Prior to the early 1800s, celebrations were prohibited from becoming too rowdy. Mardi Gras was about eating all the food that had been given up during Lent. But in 1823, festivities were permitted, so people began having alcoholic drinks with their copious amounts of grub. In 1973, Mardi Gras parades were banned from passing through New Orleans’ French Quarter. In the years following, tourists and drunken college students began to descend on the area.

But we’re just getting started with this list of debauchery.

8. Halloween

Any college student will probably tell you this is definitely the drunkest holiday of the year. It’s not a family holiday and there are few traditions associated with it. So, how do you spend all hallows eve? Drunk of course. Sure, the first five minutes of any party where people are dressed up as are hilarious. But then what do you do for the rest of the night? No self-respecting grownup bobs for apples. Unless they’re drunk, of course.

7. The Fourth of July

There doesn’t appear to be any historical explanation for consuming alcohol on the Fourth of July. It seems more than likely, however, that the reason hot dogs and a can of beer on Independence Day became as American as apple pie is simply that they were marketed that way. Still, fireworks are probably a lot safer when they’re controlled by sober people.

6. Derby Day

Exciting it may be, but lasting a total of two minutes, the horse race is not exactly the main event at the Kentucky Derby.

How, then, do we spend the remainder of our time on this day? Drinking, of course. Derby day isn’t just for fancy pants donning sundresses and over-sized hats. It’s also for the ho-dog-eating Bud-light-drinking rowdy crew who knows how to celebrate too.

5. Purim

There’s a reason that some non-Jews call Purim the Jewish Mardi Gras or the Jewish Halloween. The holiday, according to the Book of Esther, commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people by Esther and Mordecai in ancient Persia from the anti-Semitic official Haman.

The name of the holiday literally translates to “lots” and some celebrate by drinking lots. Though interpretations differ, the Talmud is said to require people to drink until they cannot tell the difference between the evil Haman and the good Mordecai.

4. Cinco de Mayo

Despite what some people inaccurately think, Cinco de Mayo does not mark Mexican Independence Day (that would be Sept. 16). The holiday, rather, commemorates the 1862 battle of Puebla that Mexico fought and won against the advancing French army, led by Emperor Napoleon III. But that probably makes no difference to you because you’ve been calling it “cinco de drinko” since you were in high school.

3. Thanksgiving Eve

No…really! Whether you’re sharing a glass with your extended family or your gathering around the keg with all your hometown friends, this is one of the most prominent drinking holidays that isn’t actually a holiday.

One of the biggest bar nights of the year, it finds pub owners stocking extra kegs and Wild Turkey Rye…but it’s still not the number one drinking holiday.

2. St. Patrick’s Day

Considering the stigma that goes along with the Irish, you would think St. Patrick’s Day is the number one drinking holiday. While it’s certainly an excuse to get drunk while wearing kelly green (a hue few can pull off), it is still not the best holiday for drinking.

1. New Year’s Eve

Finally, we come to the big kahuna. The number one holiday for drinking is of course, New Year’s Eve. We figure this is due to the fact that waiting around till midnight is basically a requirement and if you’re going to wait, you might as well drink while you do it.

There’s a chance the mascots were more entertaining than the actual baseball game.

I mean, considering that they were mascots for baseball, I’m willing to bet it’s more than likely that these mascots were the most entertaining part of the game. If we were dealing with another sport, that might be a different story, but it is baseball we’re working with here.

That being said, these mascots are pretty darn funny. What started as a poor attempt to dance quickly turned into a battle that suddenly launched an all out war. The chicken seemed to be getting his feathers in a tizzy that the dinosaur wasn’t dancing the way he wanted him to.

Our delicious friend attempted to school the prehistoric dude in the modern art of dancing, but the dinosaur taught his feathery ass a thing or two, instead. The result: an all-out battle that had a very clear winner.

Watch how these shenanigans played out for the audience:

We hope there are no harsh feelings, but we are inclined to think it’s likely the chicken got his feathers ruffled.

On a sidenote: is it just me, or did Barney find himself a new gig?

Ever since moms started working as much as dads, gender roles have been changing. What was once considered mom’s job, is now anyone’s task. Despite the progress, ponytails, buns, and braids have been the final frontier for dads.

This dad’s up-do skills were put to the test, and despite the unusual method, he passes with flying colors.

Everything seems pretty standard as this dad skillfully pulls his daughters hair back into a ponytail.

But when it comes time to twist and wrap the tail into a bun, this dad creatively enlists his daughters help to make the perfect ballerina bun.

Watch the entire video below to see exactly how this father daughter team work together to get the perfect bun.

The Holderness family is cracking us up again with an epic Thanksgiving parody video. 

The family is famous for their viral parody videos, including Christmas Jammies, a play on Will Smith’s song Miami, and their 2014 Thanksgiving video, All About That Baste, which has been viewed nearly 5 million times on YouTube.

Always in the holiday spirit, the family is back with a mashup of Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) by Silento, Adele’s Hello and Drake’s Hotline Bling.

It’s a whole lot of funny in one video, and basically sums up what Thanksgiving can be like for parents… 

Slaving all day and night to cook a fabulous dinner, and your kids pass up your food for sweets. 

Arguing at the dinner table, which forces mom to drink ‘chardonnay-nay.’

It’s pretty hysterical, and brings humor to common Thanksgiving experiences.

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year simply because of all the delicious and over-the-top dishes that land on your plate. However, the fun only starts with the main course. As any sweet-tooth knows, that the best part of the night is dessert.

If you’re looking to impress your family this year with your confectionery talents, but can’t decide between baking a cake or a pie, it turns out you don’t have to pick.

Thanks to the ‘piecaken,’ you get the best of both worlds, as an entire pie sits hidden inside of a normal looking cake.

Pies and cakes by themselves can get a little boring, but the flavor possibilities of a piecaken are seriously endless.

If cakes are a little too overwhelming for you, the piecaken can also be made into cupcakes.

The dessert looks incredibly complex, but all you need is a few baking pans, some cake batter, and a few pies, which can be either homemade or store-bought. Simply pour some of the batter in the cake pan, throw in a pie, and cover with the rest of the batter.

If you’re looking to try something new this Thanksgiving, take a look at this step-by-step guide to perfecting the piecaken.

We often forget just how much there is to be grateful for in our lives, and fail to realize how much we take things for granted. However, these kids in the hospital will give you a fresh perspective on being thankful.

In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) asked a young group of patients who had spent a lot of time in the hospital what they were thankful for this year, and they’re responses will inspire you.

“Together, these brave kids and their families teach us an important lesson: If you can count good health among the things you’re grateful for this year, the rest of your worries are just the small stuff,” CHOA explained.

Take a look below at some of the incredible things these kids are grateful for this Thanksgiving:

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving is infamous for aggressive shoppers and sunrise sales. 

But Zappos, the online shoe and clothing store is doing something a lot less materialistic this year. 

Instead of offering deep discounts on shoes, Zappos will sponsor pet adoptions from the Best Friends Animal Society at over 150 locations around the country. 

The promotion called “Home for the Pawlidayz” will run from Black Friday through Cyber Monday (November 27-30) and cover all adoption fees. 

During the time, Zappos also pledges to donate $150 to Best Friends Animal Society in honor of every cat and dog being adopted. 

If you’re interested in taking advantage of this amazing opportunity, you can get more information here, and Zappos has a complete list of partner locations to help you find a pet needing a home in your area. 

Here is a Facebook video they shared this week: 

What a great way to help animals and people alike by giving them the families they deserve.

Elephants are one of the most emotionally intelligent animals in the wild, and form extremely tight family bonds similar to the bonds we form with our loved ones.

In the video, this mother elephant works for over 11 hours trying to dig out her baby who fell into a well. After a while, people began gathering around the area when they realized that a baby elephant had been trapped.

As mom worked, she accidentally knocked even more dirt into the muddy hole, which made it even harder for her baby to escape.

Finally, a few local people stepped in to help the distressed elephants, and managed to free the trapped baby and return it safely to mom.

Watch the video below to see this mom’s incredible dedication to saving her baby.

Many trees lose their leaves as the season change, but this ancient ginkgo tree is attracting thousands of people around the world, as it sheds its leaves and creates a magical illusion of a golden sea.

Ginkgo trees have remained unchanged on earth for more than 200 million years, and are known for their long lives and ability to survive drastic climate changes. This 1,400-year-old tree in the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple is said to have been planted for Emperor Li Shimin, founder of the Tang Dynasty, who ruled from 629 to 649.

The ancient ginkgo tree has attracted thousands of visitors since it started to shed its leaves in November.

The ginkgo tree will lose all of its magical leaves by winter.

The yellow fan shaped leaves have created a breathtaking illusion of a golden carpet in the Zen Buddhist Temple where it stands in the Zhongnan Mountains in China.
