We hear a lot about toxic masculinity these days. But what about the dudes who consistently life people up and set a good example for the rest of the "male" world? We think they deserve some respect. These posts and photos highlight decidedly positive behavior from men - men who are a breath of fresh air in a society that all too often demands stoicism and macho behavior. Enjoy the wholesomeness.

So, it's Valentine's Day. Today a lot of people are thinking about their relationship status and reminiscing over past dates that either make them smile or crawl in a little hole. On a first date, people want to feel calm, cool and collected. But it's just not always possible. An awkward first date doesn't cancel out the possibility of a second date, but it sure does not feel good in the moment.

Every culture is rich with unique traditions. It is amazing to be able to hear how somebody else was brought up completely different from you. All cultures should be celebrated and loved. But let's be honest, whatever culture you grew up with: Western, Eastern-European, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc, there are some questionable traditions that you never found weird until you grew up and realized not everyone could relate. Some just seem downright silly, but hey, a part of loving your culture is laughing at your culture!

It takes some serious guts to go up and approach a woman in public, but unfortunately, it doesn't always pan out. It may be that the club is too loud, she's might be hard of hearing, or maybe... you were just too dang awkward — which we are all guilty of being from time to time. It's natural, she's beautiful, you're nervous, you think you planned everything out, but y'all make eye contact, and BOOM! Nothing but nonsense begins to spew out your mouth. Sound a little too familiar? Well, if you made it in this list that means you definitely made an impression.

So, it's commonly known at this point that women outlive men in almost every part of the world. I'm definitely not complaining, but it is interesting to think about why it might be that way. I'm sure there's a totally accurate scientific explanation for it somewhere, but conveniently #WomenLiveLongerThanMenBecause is already trending on Twitter so... I bet the true answer is there somewhere. Hehe.

Whenever a girl is on a date she is very observant. She notices the way you talk to the waitress, the way you tucked in your shirt, and the way you talk about other girls. All of these things tell her a lot about you and allow her to make real informed decisions regarding the possibility of a second date. If the two of you part your ways after the first date and never speak again, there is always a reason, it may not be a significant one, but rest assured something happened that made her say, "This ain't it."

Earning a cat's affection is normally not easy. They are naturally suspicious creatures, especially those of them who may not have come from the best of circumstances, so for them to show their humans trust and love is not an easy task. Some cats will take a few days to get used to their new environment and people and will grow to trust you quickly. Others might take years. 

A post on Reddit went viral of someone sharing the absolute unparalleled joy they felt when their cat finally chose to rest on them for the first time in 10 whole years. Goodness, was the wait for it. Other users chimed in, sharing their own stories of their cats finally, finally, choosing them, and we found each one of them incredibly heartwarming.

Ah, pickup lines. Some people swear by them, others can't even pretend to entertain the people using them. Personally, they used to annoy me, but I think we can all agree that a little part of us misses the days when random strangers would come up to us in the bar and we could roll our eyes at the sound of, "Are you from Tennessee.... Because you're the only ten-I-see" or "Did it hurt... When you fell from Heaven?" E-pickup lines sent over dating apps just don't hit the same.

So, this isn't exactly something people enjoy reminiscing about all the time. However, it is completely natural and kind of funny when you think about it. Like how does everyone think they were brought into the world in the first place? Of course our parents banged. Anyway, here are some funny stories of kids learning that for a fact.

It's important to sometimes take a step back and remember how important you are to your pets. We all take them for granted sometimes, forgetting just how much joy and love they bring into our households. We can't help it - we're as used to them living in our house as we're used to our own human family members. 

To warn everyone, tumblr users decided to boost a post that remind everyone how important our pets are to us and we are to our pets. They might be tiny, but they love you so much, and you are their whole world.

Breaking up can be hard. There are a lot of emotions flowing, uncomfortable conversations, and of course the inevitable decision of whether to keep in contact or say, "Have a good life buddy." Whatever the situation may be, a lot of good can often come out of break ups. The more ridiculous they are, the better the stories someone has to share with their friends OR perhaps with Twitter.
