    Here’s what you could be doing wrong on dating apps

    It’s a fact of life. If you’re single, you’re probably on a dating app, and if you’re not getting the dates you want, you could be asking the wrong questions…

    If you’re looking for love on a dating app and you’re not getting the results you want you could be doing something crucially wrong, and it could be the questions you’re asking.

    Obviously, the most used word on Grindr is “Hey” or even “Sup” but the next following convo is important if you’re looking for love rather than just a hookup.

    So what is this cardinal sin we’re all committing?

    You shouldn’t be asking what they do for a living as it seems too “opportunistic”. According to Cosmopolitan, Myka Meier, who created an etiquette app, called, Beaumont Etiquette, bringing up someone’s career (or lack thereof) can feel like you’re asking, “‘so how much money do you make?’ or “So how well educated are you?”

    So what topics does Meier suggest you stick with if you want to take the relationship further?

    Well, there’s a person’s background, interests and where they were raised or where they live now.

    Also, you could be on the wrong app. Check out our gay dating app review for the best dating app experience.

  • People think that an Apprentice made a “racist” comment in the last episode

    Social media users have blasted Apprentice hopeful Dillion St. Paul after making a comment about fellow contestant Karthik Nagesan’s business style.

    BBC

    In Thursday’s episode of The Apprentice, some viewers were apparently shocked by a comment made by Irish hopeful Dillon St. Paul. During the challenge, fellow contestant Karthik Nagesan had taken his time over a business deal to obtain a Lehenga at the lowest price. Karthik said that he would take charge in the negotiations because it was his “culture”.

     

    However Dillon was less than impressed with Karthik’s style and in a to-camera interview said,

    “Karthik’s negotiation technique is basically Indian chit chat. There was a lot of time wasted at the start. He should have just asked ‘Where is your lehenga? Can I see it?”

    Some viewers took to social media to vent their disgust.

    According to Yahoo.com

    One wrote: “Indian chit chat”..? This guy is something else #TheApprentice.“

     

    Another commented: “Oh yay. It’s the episode where they bait them into being horrendously racist #TheApprentice”

    Another wrote: “Indian chit-chat…are you actually allowed to say that? #TheApprentice.”

    However, some did back Dillon’s statement, with one woman, Seetal revealing that “Indians take FOREVER to secure a good deal”.

    While another commented that it was all about building a rapport

    Of course, Dillon didn’t “set  out to say something derogatory” and apologised if the comment caused offence.

    He said,

    “I would never intentionally set out to say something derogatory. I apologise if my comment caused offence, it was not intended in that manner.”

  • Yep. Those Christian bakers are going to appeal. Again

    They aren’t giving up. Those Ashers Bakery owners are now going to appeal to the UK’s highest court.

    Despite two court rulings defining their decision not to bake a “gay cake” as discriminatory and unlawful, Ashers Bakery owners, the McArthurs, are appealing to the UK’s Supreme Court according to The Evening Standard.

    Gareth Lee the LGBT activist who initially ordered a cake in 2014 which bore the inscription “Support gay marriage” had his order denied by the company whose bosses cited that the “order was at odds” with their beliefs. They added that the supportive message was “in contradiction with what the Bible teaches.”

    An original court case found that the bosses had acted unlawfully. District Judge Isobel Brownlie ordered the firm to pay damages of £500 after ruling that religious beliefs could not dictate the law.

    Last month judges at the Court of Appeal upheld the original judgement. However, the family behind the bakery is not satisfied and the family’s legal team have written to the Appeal Court judges in Belfast, “to consider giving a short ruling on the question of whether (an) appeal to the United Kingdom Supreme Court is available in this case”.

    The McArthurs have insisted that the issue was never with Mr Lee’s sexuality, but with the message that he had requested on the cake.

  • Remember Danyl Johnson from X FACTOR, you won’t guess what he’s up to now

    Remember the gorgeous Danyl Johnson from X Factor?

    Daniel appeared in the sixth series of X Factor in 2009 and actually did pretty well. He came fourth, losing out in the end to Joe McElderry. To jog your memory he was the contestant that judge Dannii Minogue sort of outed mid-season.

    If you recall she was moaning that Danyl was using female pronouns during his performance of “And I Am Telling You” and suggested that perhaps he didn’t need to change the gender references in the song.

    She told him,

    “If we’re to believe everything that we read in the papers, maybe you didn’t need to change the gender references”.

    Probably one of the most awkward moments of British television ever.

    As it turns out Danyl is gay and you can read all about his time on the X Factor in our next issue. Subscribe now for FREE and you won’t miss it when it’s released.

    Well, Danyl is now working for the People’s Postcode Lottery as an Ambassador and it’s his job basically to give people money! Speaking to OK Online in August he said,

    “Pretty much I give people money for a living – so it’s not bad really.

    He revealed,

    “I work along side Jeff Brazier, Matt Johnson & Judie McCourt.”

  • LBC Radio Presenter: If your partner has HIV don’t have sex

    In a late night rant about the prescription of PrEP the LBC presenter, Ian Collins, told listeners of his show not to have sex if their partner was HIV positive.

    After the news that NHS England lost its appeal over whether it is responsible for prescribing the anti-HIV medication, PrEP, to “at risk” demographics of which gay and bisexual men are; one radio host Ian Collins suggested that the move was scandalous and people at risk of being infected with HIV shouldn’t have sex.

    The Court of Appeal told NHS England that it is responsible for prescribing PrEP – a move which could cost £20 million.

    PrEP is described as a ‘game-changing’ pill that, when used alongside condoms, testing and treatment, could help bring the beginning of the end for HIV.

    Speaking on his LBC show Ian Collins said that the decision to fund a preventative drug for people who haven’t got HIV as a “scandal”.

    He said,

    “Critics have said at £400 per person per month, the drug treatment is too expensive and those in that high risk group should be encouraged to practice safer sex. Well just don’t have sex at all.

    “We are funding a drug for people who haven’t got HIV, but as a way of protecting them so that they might not get it so they can still have sex with their partner and not worry about protection.”

    He then went on to suggest that if your partner has HIV not to have sex at all.

    “Love your partner, hug your partner, kiss your partner, do all manner of other things you can do with your partner, just don’t have sex. If your partner HIV positive, don’t have sex. There’s lots of people that don’t have sex for lots of reasons.”

    Collins also stated that if you’re in a relationship with someone with HIV that you should “keep your pants on”.

    “…you’re being asked to just simply keep your pants on. This is not a drug that is funding people with HIV. It is funding people without HIV so that they can sleep with people with HIV. That’s it.”

    Ian Howley, the interim CEO of the GMFA said,

    “We understand many people’s concerns with the cost of PrEP being free on the NHS. However, this will only be 0.02% of the total NHS budget for the year. The short term cost outweighs the long term as currently the lifetime cost for treatment of someone living with HIV equates to nearly £380,000. PrEP has shown to decrease new HIV infections by 18% in cities like San Francisco. A similar reduction in the UK, year on year, could save the NHS and the tax payer millions in the long term. Too many people are becoming HIV-positive and we now have a tool that can help stop HIV. GMFA believes that PrEP should be free to anyone who is at high risk of becoming HIV-positive. We need PrEP now.”

    Ian Green, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust, said

    “Every day the NHS delays access to PrEP, 17 people are diagnosed with HIV – and the lifetime cost to the NHS for each diagnosis of HIV is £360,000. PrEP must be prioritised and made available now to those at risk.

    “There is still a long way to go before people at risk have access to this groundbreaking pill that will protect them from HIV – but thanks to today’s decision, we are a step closer to a world without HIV transmissions.”

    You won’t guess how many people shot off their penis since 2010

    At least seven men in America have accidentally shot their penis with a handgun since 2010.

    The initial report from the website, deathandtaxes.com has suggested that five American men shot off their penis between 2010 to 2013 and we’ve managed to find another two reported cases where men accidentally put a bullet through their dicks.

    Usually from holstering their gun in their trousers.

    This is just a drop in the ocean to the number of self-inflicted gunshot wounds recorded in the US.

    In 2011 the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control released figures that suggested there were 73,883 non-fatal firearms injuries that year, 14,675 (19.86%) were unintentional. That same year there was, according to stats released by the CDC,  591 deaths due to “accidental discharge” and a further 248 due to “undetermined intent”.

  • Yikes. You could go to prison for sharing a SNAPCHAT image

    Yikes. You could go to prison for sharing a SNAPCHAT image

    Ever thought of screengrabbing someone’s Snapchat and sharing it? Well, be careful because if you do, you could face two years in prison.

    can sharing pictures put me in prison

    So Snapchat is home to a lot of naughty pictures (apparently). We’ve not spent too much time there, obvs, but reliable sources tell us this is the truth. Well, you could face up to two years in prison if you share “private” pictures of someone without their permission under British copyright law.

    That news might come as a bit of welcome relief for certain male celebrities who have had their private stash of naughty pictures released to the world recently.

    In March this year the then culture minister Ed Vaizey was asked whether steps “to prevent Snapchat images being made public without the consent of the image owner”, would be presented, by MP Jim Shannon.

    Vaizey replied,

    “Under UK copyright law, it would be unlawful for a Snapchat user to copy an image and make it available to the public without the consent of the image owner.

    “The image owner would be able to sue anyone who does this for copyright infringement.”

    Sharing private or sexual images without permission could get you into prison type of trouble.

    We spoke with lawyer, Phil Gorski at Blacks Solicitors who told us,

    “Last year there was a new piece of legislation introduced, which actually set out the specific crime of revenge porn. There is a specific charge that can be brought and so the option is there and should probably be taken if the information has been distributed to a large number of people.

    “What the legislation says is that where you’ve got photographs and the phrasing is, “… of a private or sexual nature …” That doesn’t mean you have to be showing intimate body parts or anything like that. It can be in a sort of context that’s perceived to be sexual.

    “If they are disclosed and it’s done without consent and the purpose of disclosing them was to cause distress or embarrassment, which when you think about it, it would be very difficult to not be the case. Then, there’s a potential crime that’s taken place.”

     

    Of course, if you’re worried about your pink bits being on display to the entire world it might be best never to put them on the web in the first place. Remember nothing you share on the internet is secure.

    Gorski continued,

    “Where these images are taken consensually then you need to be thinking very carefully about whether you actually want to do it or not. Not putting yourself in the position where there are images around in the first place is the easy fix but not necessarily something that someone will always want to do.”
