If you’ve ever seen Saturday Night Live’s Nasim Pedrad impersonate Kim Kardashian then you know that she not only perfectly mimics Kim’s nasal, valley girl voice, she also captures the airheaded essence that we’ve all come to know and unsuccessfully try to ignore over the years. But for as much time as she spends in front of cameras, Kim is apparently oblivious to her own walk and talk. When Kim crossed paths with Pedrad before she left the SNL cast earlier this year, Mrs. West apparently had just one question – “I’m not really like that, am I?!” Nasim Pedrad Talks Kim Kardashian Even though anyone who’s ever seen the Kim Kardashian sex tape can close their eyes and hear Kim’s shrill, ear-piercing squeals of pleasure, Nasim assured her that, no, the voice was just exaggerated for the sake of comedy. Awfully nice of her, but come on! If no one ever says anything she’s just gonna go right on talking like that! According to recent tabloid reports, Kim and Kanye are fighting constantly these days. You know it’s at least partially due to the fact that he can’t stand listening to her incessant parakeet shrieks day in, day out. Look, we know you were just trying to be nice, Nasim, but you may have passed up the opportunity to save a woman’s marriage! 38 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos 1.

Pretty much nothing is worse in the entire world than sending a text message to someone and getting left hanging for hours, or worse yet, straight up ignored. Fortunately, you can still rally and make lemonade out of virtual lemons, so to speak. 21 People Who Didn’t Get a Text Back, But Won at Life 1. Two Years Ago! That’s a long time to leave someone hanging … or keep the number and conversation of someone who left you hanging. One of the first indicators of rejection is people not texting back. Sure, maybe their phones died or were left in another room, or they had to physically turn them off. Probably not, though. We’re not trying to hurt your feelings, just level with you here. People are attached to phones as closely as they are to their partners or children. Chances are pretty good that a late (or no) response is deliberate. We hate to be the one to break it to you, but your texts are largely being viewed as an annoyance that can and should be ignored. So what are you going to do? Scroll through the gallery above for some terrific ways of handling the situation. Turn the tables on the person with wit, mind games and possible bitterness. You’ll be glad you did. And you’ll have the last word … because they don’t write back.
Ruh-roh… A new book called The Normal Bar has gathered survey info from 100,000 people that responded to over 1 million different data inquiries that reveals what couples REALLY think of each other. Talk about tough love… Via Huffington Post Do you trust your partner? Only 39% of women in this study completely trust their partners, compared to 53% of men. What’s wrong with this picture? Why the gender difference, and why the low levels of trust in general? It may be that a lot of couples intuitively know or have learned by experience that their spouse or live-in partner has the potential to rove. Women in heterosexual relationships know the same thing that many studies have shown: that men are more interested in and titillated about sex outside the relationship, and that may account for a higher percentage of women who doubt their partner’s honesty and fidelity. On the other hand, nearly half of men suspect their partners, too. Both men and women believe that their partners will hide unpleasant truths, and that they may have to dig to find out what is really going on. Have you ever lied to your partner? Nearly three-quarters of our respondents (75% of men and 71% of women) said they lie to their partners to one degree or another. Only 27% of our respondents said they never ever lie. Does lying negatively affect the quality of your relationship? Probably not. Even among extremely happy couples, 69% of men and women said they’ve lied at some point to their partners. But the fact that very happy partners lie demands some further scrutiny. For most couples, some lying is necessary to keep the peace, to protect each other’s feelings, and to preserve a sense of safety in the relationship. The 27% who never lie may be righteous, but they can also be cruelly frank. Men and women who shade the truth may be more loving and protective. Even well-intentioned lies, however, can hurt the relationship if the truth that’s withheld is something the partner has every right and need to know. Do you lie about your partner’s sexual performance? Just as men are more likely to tell white lies about their partner’s appearance, women are more likely to flatter their partner’s sexual performance. We found that 43% of women lie about how they feel about their partner’s sexual performance, compared to just 28% of men. That’s probably not because women are better lovers but, rather, because they feel a greater need to protect their partner’s feelings. When a man feels insecure, he may have difficulty getting an stiff one, so it’s in his partner’s—as well as his—interest to boost his sexual self-esteem. The bad news here is that some honest communication has to take place; otherwise, nothing is likely to improve. As you might imagine, sexually dissatisfied men and women lie almost twice as much (50%) as sexually satisfied partners (27%). If you talk openly and honestly with your partner about what isn’t working, you’re much more likely to achieve sexual satisfaction than if you salve your partner’s sexual feelings at the expense of your own pleasure. Lying may cause fewer storms, but also fewer climaxes! Ladies, keep it 100…have you been lying to your “bae” about how he puts it down??? Image via Essence

en and women are both likely to take a gender-neutral attitude toward most job occupations, according to the preliminary results of an online test launched in February that will keep crunching the data on an open-ended basis. Some jobs, however–such as carpenters and prison guards–were still considered male preserves, at least by male respondents. “For the most part, men felt that both genders would be equally suited to most job positions we listed on the test,” said Ilona Jerabek in a phone interview. Jerabek is president of PsychTests AIM, the Montreal-based psychological assessments company that developed the 126-question test that takes around 30 or 40 minutes to complete. “Gender Roles: Are We Still Playing the Part?” provides a description of where people fall on the traditional-modern continuum in professional and personal life. Nearly 200 men and more than 300 women–their ages range from under 17 to over 60–have responded so far. Most have been Caucasians from North America. Surprisingly, men have so far been more willing than women to divide household duties with their partners and take on jobs beyond such traditionally male tasks as mowing the lawn and taking out the garbage.
