Most of the guys we meet end up being the complete opposite of what we expected. They're sweet in the beginning, and then they stop trying. The show, "New Girl" will take you through all 15 things that most guys do that we need to put an end to.

1. Grabbing onto girls as they walk by:

Unless I openly give you consent to grab my body as I pass by you, learn your place and never put your hand on a woman without asking for permission. Point blank.

2. Insult/putdown others in a "joking" matter:

Everyone has their insecurities and flaws that no one should point out. But, unfortunately, most of us have met those guys that believe it's okay to do so if it is a "joke." It's not.

3. Hating on cats/dogs/pets:

As a cat owner, I understand that some people prefer dogs, however, hearing a guy that I'm potentially interested in talk down about my cat is a major turn off. Check yourself.

4. Sending that "what you doing? ;)" text in the middle of the night:

Not quite sure why most mens' confidence boosts in the middle of the night, which leads to these iconic messages. This needs to stop! No one is going to get out of bed at two a.m. for you!

5. Using the worst pickup lines:

I will admit, some pickup lines could be funny and lead to a conversation. However, other cheesy line are just gross. For everyone's sake, just use a simple "hello."

6. Badmouth other men that do not enjoy beer:

If someone (especially other men) do not want to "enjoy" a cold beer with you, do not make them feel like they are less than you because they do not like the taste of your pee water!

7. Trying to convince girls in relationships to cheat:

I have heard many stories of men reaching out to girls via social media telling to cheat on them (even if they already claimed in a committed relationship). Seriously, guys? No beuno!

8. Clueless about their career path:

It is not attractive when a guy does not know what he wants to do with his future. Figure out your life and then give me a call! I am not here to mom you!

9. Refusing to do the "dating thing" in college:

Most guys have this attitude, but if two people like each other, than be together. Stop being scared of the word "couple" or "relationship." You are grown men in your 20's. Act like it.

10. Barely putting in effort to be friends with your girlfriend's friends:

The majority of women put in the effort to befriend the boyfriend's friends. And, yet, it doesn't seem to be expected from the boyfriend? If I'm putting in the effort, so should you.

11. Water down their feelings for others:

Quick tip: if you pretend to not be interested or care, than I'm going to leave and move on. Acting like you aren't into me, doesn't make me want you more. I'll just drop you.

12. Using their phones while you're talking:

Okay, maybe my long stories about my fights with my girlfriends aren't that exciting, but at least pretend to be listening! That's just rude!

13. Still act like children:

If you're a grown man, living on his own, and in his 20's, you should no longer have the same personality that you had when you were in middle school. And, yes, I can tell it's the same.

14. Act like the world revolves around them:

It's a common theme that men expect women to drop everything they are doing for them. Excuse me? I have a life and responsibilities too! And I'm sure you wouldn't do that for us.

15. Not knowing how to speak to women in general:

To my male readers: try to fix the majority of the above points that I have just listed for you, and then, maybe, we can have a real conversation.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
