The Ultimate Guide to Metrosexual Underwear

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 7, 2012

Metrosexuals, listen up!

You may think you know everything about everything grooming-wise, but apparently you do not.

Sure, you may go around looking all nice and pretty, and have a way with the ladies at the bar — but maybe you don’t know all the details of what women REALLY look for when you take your pants off.

Yes, men – women do care about your underwear. They may not like to admit it, but just like the old saying, “clothes make the man,” so goes the other saying, “cartoon animal underpants are a big turn off”.

The Roommate from Hell

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 6, 2012

Web Watch agrees that this type of thing can happen to anyone.

Everybody has some odd roommate story that they can share. We went through 6 months of one roommate never doing their own laundry.

What?

Yeah, it’s true. Many years back, we shared an apartment with two guys… and one of them, apparently, didn’t have any socks of his own. He would “borrow” socks from Web Watch (we shudder to think if he was “borrowing” underpants from our other roommate), and then toss the dirtys into the appropriate hamper for the unsuspecting soul to wash on laundry day.

For a while, Web Watch could never understand why we were always running out of clean socks ahead of where we thought we would be in the laundry cycle. Sure, we figured it out – but by then, it was too late. A use pattern had set in.

Luckily, we were able to kick him out – and laundry returned to normal levels.

25 Ways to Tell that You’re Living in a Bubble

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 5, 2012

The other day, Web Watch was talking with an Internet-savvy friend of ours about the cool stuff we see online, and they surprised us by not knowing anything about the latest smartphone gaming craze, DRAW SOMETHING.

Seriously? The game has been out for over 2 months now, been all over the news. And while we haven’t explicitly mentioned it here, we figured that many of our faithful Web Watch readers had already installed it over their copy of Angry Birds.

What it really showed us was that our friend was living in their own little bubble world that they had created, to isolate themselves from the ‘net fluffernutter so they could concentrate on the really good stuff.

You know, kinda like what we do here every day at Web Watch.

Ten Ways to Love Your Job

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 4, 2012

If there’s one thing Web Watch knows, it’s that we LOVE what we do.

Always have, for the most part. Our philosophy is that you’re going to spend more time at work and with the people you work with than you will with your own friends and family.

And if you don’t enjoy doing what you’ve signed up for, then you’re just going to be miserable.

Unsatisfied.

Unfulfilled.

And you’ll probably end up not being very good at your career in the end because of it. Trust us, it’s better to do something you love doing, because being unhappy because of work drudgery isn’t anyway to go through life. THAT is something that you can directly control and change.

Red Flag Alert! How to tell when you’re dating a loser

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 3, 2012

Web Watch has spent enough time out at bars and restaurants to recognize when a date seen across the room is heading in the wrong direction.

It could be a subtle sign, like a couple sitting at the table not talking to each other or engrossed in their cellphones instead of each other — or it could be something a bit more blatant, such as a heated discussion that slowly escalates to the point where the whole room is involved in some manner.

Heck, even when if comes to married life, we know plenty of couples who should have seen the writing on the wall well before the divorce papers were a conversation topic… if only they had asked us for our honest opinion of where we thought their relationship was heading.

How does the average American spend their paycheck?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 1, 2012

Web Watch remembers the old adage when we were just starting out to be able to sustain ourselves on our own.

“When you make your budget, you should always devote 1/3 to housing, 1/3 to transportation, and 1/3 for everything else.”

Now, we may not have been able to follow that breakdown exactly, but it’s not necessarily that far from the truth of how AMERICANS ACTUALLY SPEND THEIR PAYCHECK. Especially if you take into account the need for saving some money for retirement or a rainy day, that ratio may be better split into quarters:

“devote 1/4 to housing, 1/4 to transportation, 1/4 put away in the bank/IRA/investments, 1/4 for everything else”

That seems to be closer to the truth. Let’s take a look at how the average 48-year-old spends their average $63,091 annual salary (before taxes):

Contrary to popular belief, “women’s business networks” don’t always work

Post author By web gangsta
Post date March 30, 2012

Web Watch has been a member of any number of work-related groups and networking circles.

Usually, they serve some greater purpose in advancing one’s career via seminars and learning opportunities.

But the networking aspect of them always felt a little… off.

Very clique-ish, especially from an outsider’s viewpoint looking in. If you didn’t already know someone who knew someone, your ability to join in all the fun and reindeer games would be similar to what you probably went through in high school, with the same insecurities in trying to make it in with the In Crowd.

Parents – are you raising an Indigo Child? Here’s how to tell…

Post author By web gangsta
Post date March 25, 2012

Web Watch has a number of friends who have raised mature, well-adjusted children.

Over the years, as we’ve seen these kids grow from toddlers to college-attending members of society, we’ve often commented on our friends’ superior parenting skills when compared to other families we see out and about at the mall, restaurants, or even Disney World – where the kids are literally terrors on two feet.

There’s a difference between being your child’s Best Friend and being their parent, and today’s society appears to have shifted the blame of this bad behavior not on the bad parenting being done by the adults, but rather as a result of the kids themselves being unresponsive and not receptive to listening to their parents.
