Women Are Going Online For Friends, Not Dating
If you thought dating as a woman was hard, try making new friends. It’s almost impossible to find new friends organically when you’ve been working at the same job for a while and don’t really get out much except to hang out with the people you already know. And with the amount of single ladies hopping between jobs and moving to new cities, finding friends is way more important than finding a date.
Dates are great and all, but it’s almost like if there’s no sexual or romantic chemistry between you and the people you meet, that’s the end of the road. It’s pretty rare that you’ll meet someone with the intention of dating who’s cool with just being buddies. That’s whyBumbleBFFexists for people looking for no strings attached…like at all. Not even sex.
There are other apps that help women find friends in new places.GirlCrewis one that will actually allow you to put out a request for someone to join you on a specific outing – whether it’s a boozy brunch or a trip around the world. And more and more ladies are finding success in meeting friends through apps. Some have even found their bridesmaids!

Cracking A Smile Can Instantly Ease Stress
When you’re in a bad mood, the last thing you want to hear is “turn that frown upside down.” But it turns out, that cheerful advice may actually be helpful. In honor ofWorld Smile Daytoday, let’s talk about those grins. A recent poll of 2,000 adults byInvisalign Australiafinds that people break into a smile an average of 20 times a day and 80% of them admit it helps them break out of a funk.
PsychologistDr. Jaimie Blochsays there’s a scientific reason for that. She explains, “When we smile, we actually trick our brain into releasing dopamine and serotonin - feel-good chemicals known as endorphins.” Dopamine can boost happiness levels and serotonin helps reduce stress, so by smiling you’re making yourself happier and getting into a better mood too.
So next time you’re feeling down and out, try one of these quick fixes to bring on the smiles:
- Fake it till you make it- Fake a smile until your endorphins kick in.
- Think happy thoughts- Focus on the positive things that make you smile.
- Make someone else laugh- Laughter can be contagious and they say it’s the best medicine.
- Smile at everyone you see today- Spread positivity and brighten everyone’s day.
- Compliment someone- You’ll bring a smile to their face and that may make you feel like smiling too.
- Give back- Donate your time or money to a cause you care about or help do a good deed for someone else for a big boost of positivity.
