Remember when Jeff Foxworthy used to do those “You might be a redneck” jokes? Those weren’t funny.

Although no one on the BCU staff knows “how to make roadkill stew,” we do know the signs that you might be whipped. Here are our top 5 favorites.

1) If she knows all your passwords…

When I was a kid and I first got my own computer, my parents knew all my passwords to make sure I wasn’t getting into any shenanigans online. Then I turned 13, and the word “privacy” entered my vocabulary. That was the last time it was okay for anyone to you know your password. If you let her read your e-mails, you are letting her be your mom. Not okay.

2) If you ask permission to go out with the guys…

If she assumes you’re going boob-hunting every time you and your buddies want to hang out, she’s got some insecurity issues that she needs to work out… alone. She’s your girlfriend, not your warden, and you don’t have to ask permission to leave the house.

3) If you only hang out with her friends…

Remember when you had separate friend groups? You would meet up with her after hanging with your friends? Now all you do is hang out with other couples, sitting at someone’s house drinking wine and watching Couple’s Retreat. You sir, are whipped.

4)If you always worry she’s going to get mad…

You’re at the store, practically drooling over a new LCD big screen. You just got a raise and want to drop the big bucks, but you’re worried that your sleeping dragon of a girlfriend might not approve, so you call to ask. Making decisions on your own is part of being a grown up, so do it! (Plus, if she’s not stoked on a nice new TV, she’s got issues anyway)

5) If she uses sex as a bargaining tool…

90% of the time she wears sweatpants and a grease-stained college t-shirt to bed, and the only time you ever see her look sexy anymore is when she’s asking you to buy her a ridiculously overpriced diamond necklace. Sex is a key part of any relationship, and if the only time you get it is after a business transaction, you need to get out, now.

Apparently it’s time for OBC to make an appearance in Korea.

A 28 year old Korean guy named Lee Jin-gyu just married his ‘dakimakura,’ a kind of body pillow with an anime character on it. Don’t worry, this isn’t a normal practice in Korea, apparently there he’s called “otaku,” a word that is translated roughly to “obsessive” and “nerd.” He takes the pillow to the movies, fairs, and out to dinner, and yes, he gets the pillow a meal.

Jin-gyu, come on. Sign on to OBC and meet some real booty. Leave that poor pillow alone!

Gentlemen, did your lady force you to take her out for a lavish dinner on Valentine’s Day? Did she demand roses, chocolates, and wine, followed by hours and hours of “making love”? If this is the case, you should be thanking me right now, because I have recently discovered that this Sunday, March 14, is Steak and a BJ Day.

Can it be? you ask? Do I really get retribution for the hellacious experience that has been February 14th for my entire life? you ask?

The answer is yes, and I provide you this page from DateDaily to print and display as proof when your lady-friend unavoidably says, “THAT DOESN’T EXIST.”

Put on a nice shirt and scrub your junk, boys, because this day comes around only once a year.

Was I think only person in the world unaware of the term “GGG”? It’s a term coined by Dan Savage, gay author and sex advice columnist for The Stranger (awesome magazine name). A little more research, though,  shows that the GGG works for both gay and straight couples. It stands for Good, Giving, Game, or Good in bed, Giving equal time and pleasure, and Game for anything (within reason. Safe words, people, safe words!).

It seems to me that the GGG scale, or how closely your partner abides by these standards, should be the ultimate demonstration of your sexual prowess. Keep that alliterative phrase in your mind the next time you wrangle up some booty!

Julie Spira is a online dater who, in 15 years, has been on 250 dates, had 4 marriage proposals, and one divorce. This apparently has trained her to be the expert on online dating, so she wrote a book, ” The Perils of Cyber-Dating.”

In this clip from KTLA news where she discusses the various types of online dating, OBC gets a quick, but awesome shout out. OBC is joining the big leagues, boys! Watch out!

Blah blah blah fashion couture classy elegant whatever whatever whatever.

Here are BCU’s top picks for Academy Award hotness.

1. Rachel McAdams

Steering away from the drab single toned dresses that most stars rock on the red carpet, Rachel McAdams went with “muted tones” and “flowing panels of organza and mousseline,” which I think is French for “I’d totally hit that.”

2. Sandra Bullock

The best actress winner looked bangin’ at age 45 in this body hugging lace and metallic… um… dress thing. Although I don’t know how I feel about that hooker-colored lipstick she’s got on,  considering she won an Oscar, I imagine she couldn’t care less what I think.

3. Cameron Diaz

I’ve had a major girl crush on Miss Diaz since her There’s Something About Mary. But here, in this super sexy dress and side swept hair that’s not full of, well, bodily fluids, she could be hotter than ever.

3. Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz could win our award for “Most Times Featured on a BCU Hotties List,” but you wouldn’t know it based on the trash-talking that went on about this dress. Crap like, “the dress wore her,” and other stupid lines that could only be said by jealous, unattractive TV hosts.

5. Anna Kendrick

A newcomer to the BCU top hotties awards, Anna Kendrick looked like a Greek goddess in this sheer pink dress. The Up in the Air star got slammed for those chunky heels, but what-ev-er, because the only complaint we have is that the slit in her dress should go way higher.

There is nothing funny about divorce. It is sad, life-altering, expensive, depressing, awful awful awful. Divorce is one of the main reasons the BCU team isn’t into marriage! As the adage goes, “50% of marriages end in divorce, the other half end in death.”

However, this guy’s letter to his wife (or soon to be ex-wife) is pretty freakin’ hilarious. Shocking and pretty NSFW, yes, but also awesome. This guy is my hero.

Oh look, another study created primarily to let sex-deprived scientists check out hot chicks!

A University of Queensland Australia research group performed some studies on a group of male skateboarders. They were asked to perform tricks while in front of their male peers, and then a group of beautiful women. Surprise, surprise, the guys took way more risks when the ladies were in the audience.

Psychologist Bill von Hippel claims there is an evolutionary reason for this: for all existence, men have competed against each other physically for access to fertile women, he says, and “the winners of those competitions are the ones who pass on their genes to future generations.”

I’m gonna go ahead and take a stab in the dark and say the main conclusion of this study is in fact, male skateboarders are horny little street rats.

Disclaimer: I am not here to deny the desire 99.9% of women would be completely satisfied with a romantic, funny man who just happens to have a gorgeous face and a Greek god body. However, just because you might not fit into that category doesn’t mean you can’t find an awesome chick ready to make out with you in a cab somewhere. Women usually have a weird taste for a type of guy that perhaps other women would be repulsed by. The staff at Lemondrop recently listed some of their readers’ submissions. Let me give you the run down.

1. The super-geek

So, along with knowing your way around a lady’s body, you can also take apart and fix my hard drive? Swoon. I could care less if your social skills are pathetic at best, we can cuddle and read Engadget all night and I’ll clean your glasses when they get foggy.

2. The sweaty Euro dude

So, somehow you manage to take a shower and still smell like you sleep under a dumpster? And you’ve got some teeth issues that haven’t been seen since the Mesozoic era? That’s cool with me, just talk to me with that accent and don’t breathe on me, we’ll be just fine.

3. The scrawny Spanish hipster

Translation:  Gael Garcia Bernal.

4. The chubby bearded dude

We all know I have a disturbing (but adorable) obsession with Zach Galiafinakis. However, I’m not sure about most other men in this category. The chance of finding food particles or dirt or small animals in that beard is just too high for me to be into it. Usually.

5. Meat-heads

If you spend more time getting ready for a night out than I do, that’s a dealbreaker. And while I’m no Snooki, most of us ladies wouldn’t be opposed to a one-nighter with a guy who looks like he might be dabbling in NO2 supplements or their more illegal cousin, Steroids. Like I said, just for one night cause I wouldn’t want to clean the spray tan off my nice sheets, but it still sounds fun, especially if they’ve got a little rage issue. Just kidding. I’m not into that. I swear.

Back before cell phones and the internet, booty calls had to be made over land line phones or (god forbid) face to face. Now that it’s 2010, I imagine the percentage of booty calls that are made face to face has significantly declined, probably to like… zero. However, a downside of using technology to hit up your booty call is the VERY real possibility of being misunderstood. There is no subtext in texting, so you’ve got to tread lightly. Here are BCU’s rules for booty call texting.

1) Get the initial text out early

Please, please, don’t send a “preemptive” booty call text at 11AM. It reeks of desperation and even if they don’t have plans for the night, they will probably make some up. However, to ensure that your booty call doesn’t make plans with his/her backup booty, send a text at 9 or 10 at night asking their plans for the night, that way you can gauge what your chances are. If they’re sick in bed, you’ve might have to dip into your reserves tonight.

2) Don’t beat around the bush

While the initial text shouldn’t say, “Booty call?” after a hey what’s up, or a what are you up to tonight, don’t bother chatting about school or work or your grandmother’s arthritis. Assuming a booty call has happened between you two before, you both know what’s going down here. No need to pretend to be interested in small talk. Make your plans and then get on with your night. It’s the anonymity that makes booty calls fun.

3)  Don’t be too explicit

While you both know the direction the night is going, getting too dirty while just in the pre-hook up texting stage is a big ol’ no-no. Once the plans are in motion, don’t send more than maybe 3 text messages throughout the night, otherwise you risk ruining the fun of the unplanned booty call. Just showing up ready for action is sexier than detailing every moment in awkward, misspelled text messages.

4) Keep emoticons to a minimum

The occasional wink is flirty and suggestive. A wink or smile after every sentence is irritating and feels a bit like you’re flirting with a 6th grader.  This is fact.

5) Give up the ghost

No response in two hours? Stop. Texting. It’s not gonna happen. All you’re doing by texting in 10 minute intervals is making your self look like a head case. A desperate, unattractive head case.
