[Buy us a drink and we'll show you our poonanny, Top shelf only, please.]
I live with my three best friends and I've taken to cleaning up after all of them. How can I get them to clean up without sounding like a nagging mom?
—Charlie,Junior
Jessi: Next time the trash or sink is full, mention that although you love wearing the apron (it makes your ass look great), the housekeeper is on leave until someone else tries it on for size.
Chris: Aprons? Hmm. Charlie, you're speaking for the masses. This is definitely a common problem, but don't let it continue without telling your buddies. You shouldn't be afraid to just say, "Hey guys, let's try to keep this place a little cleaner." And mention that girls would rather get laid in a clean house than a dump.
dump.
What is proper etiquette when buying drinks for a girl at the bars?
If I buy her drinks, does this give me "the right" to her poonnyy?
— Jed, Senior
Jessi: When buying drinks for girls, ask if it's cool first. You'll save yourself the embarrassment of buying a daiquiri for someone who doesn't drink or is the DD. If a girl lets you buy her a drink, that gives her the right to do lots of things. She can kick you in the nads, 'accidentally' spill it all over you, or even hit on one of your friends. That is, if you believe that by buying her a drink you receive a round-trip ticket to her "poonanny".
Chris: You're an idiot. Not even marriage gives a guy rights to the poonanny. If it did, polygamy would be much more popular. As for drinks, I bartend and I see lots of guys buy drinks for girls, and it's hard to say there are any steadfast rules. Ask the girl first, but also never offer a drink without talking to the girl for 15 minutes. If you offer a drink too soon, it's hard to tell whether she's interested in you or the free booze.
My friend is into a relationship with a great guy who is still attached to an ex. She's so excited, and I don't want to be a killjoy. How can I help her without being too judgmental?
-Kim, Freshman
Jessi: No one wants to be someone's second place. Let her know that she deserves more than what he's giving her. Be supportive, but let her know that if he's not willing to make her his first place girl, he's the loser. One of the advantages of a new relationship is establishing expectations, and this is one to which she is entitled fair 'n square.
Chris: Let her do what she wants. Because you're both freshmen and have little knowledge or life skills, you should let her learn from this situation. And you don't know that the new relationship won't work out. But if you are set on ruining her relationship, try sleeping with the guy.
