Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: I have this problem with my boyfriend. We have been together for over a year now, but last time he was here (I’m from Norway, he lives in the US), I was texting with one of my friends from his phone when a message popped up from one of his friends. I didn’t think anything of it so I looked at it, but on that text, she told him how much she missed him, and if he was coming back from “the bitch” soon. That got me curious, so I read some of the others. It turns out they have been texting about intimate stuff between them and about what a bitch/how horrible I am for months.

I really don’t know how to handle this because I really love him. And he doesn’t seem any different around me. He is as he always has been. So I’m wondering if he is just manipulating her, or if he means it. Either way, it’s unacceptable. Any idea how I can bring this up or what I should do?

A: I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that it is unacceptable. Regardless of his intentions, this is no way for anyone to behave. But I understand this must be very confusing for you. I will never understand why someone will put so much into a relationship, for example flying all the way from the US to Norway to see a person, just to talk shit about them behind their back. It really doesn’t make any sense. Another thing that I’m perturbed about is that he let you use his phone knowing that those messages were on there? He’s not even trying to cover his ass! Either he is just not very smart when it comes to cheating, or he wanted you to find out. Maybe he wasn’t man enough to break it off himself. I really don’t know.

If this other girl that was texting him truly was just a friend, he should be defending you when she called you a bitch. But you also said they were sharing intimate details, so do you think they are involved in a sexual relationship? I know long distance relationships can be hard, and cheating is probably more prevalent in them. I’m not saying this is an excuse for him, just saying it’s common unfortunately. He doesn’t seem any different around you because he is manipulating you. He wants the best of both worlds. He is probably manipulating this other girl in some way too, and is likely deliberately using his so-called “problems” with you to bond with her. She doesn’t seem to have much respect for herself in the first place if she is knowingly the “other woman”.

I know that you love him, but I only see a few options with this one. You could confront him, see what his side of the story is, and decide if that is acceptable enough for you to forgive him. But in my honest opinion, I really don’t see how there could be any acceptable reason for any of his actions. You don’t deserve to be treated that way. It’s hard to believe, but there are actually good guys out there that don’t cheat, and that will take care of you and worship the ground that you walk on. Why settle for this jerk? I say let him know that you found him out and end it. I wish you luck.

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

This week, Bitten Suicide tells us why she loves spouting off with the folks in SG’s Geezer Group.

Members: 3,636 / Comments: 137,333

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: I love SG’s Geezer Group because it’s a crowd I can relate to. We like to reminisce about the days of cassette tapes and VCRs, when there were only five channels on TV and when MTV actually played music videos, and not just reality shows. I like to be proud of my age and everyone in this group surely is.

DISCUSSION TIP: It’s a relaxing close-knit group. No need to fear the reaper. Grab a rocking chair and spout off about those damn kids and how things ran in your day.

MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: The most heated discussion would have to be the “Politics, heated discussions and your mom sucks” discussion thread. This group is very much into politics and government issues. Another popular thread is “what colour are your undies today” – but that one usually stays pretty calm and fights rarely break out.

BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “Now GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU DAMN KIDS!!!”

WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: It’s a private group. Anyone over 30 is invited to join – you must ‘fess up to you age on your profile though, otherwise you application will be deleted! The group ranges from silly to serious.

Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: I broke up with my fiancée this past February. It wasn’t has hard as it could be, which I guess speaks volumes about where the relationship actually was. The problem is now I’m having a lot of trouble meeting women. My location doesn’t help matters. I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada, which has a total population of less than 150,000. That’s right, an entire province with a population smaller than most cities. But it’s also a problem where I’m also pretty geeky. I love sci-fi, anime and games. I’ve tried online dating, but the fact that I’m writing this answers the question of how well that worked lol. I don’t drink, so I don’t go to bars. I guess my overall question would be: what other venues are there to meet women?

A: The first thing I noticed was that you said, “It wasn’t as hard as it could be.” Now, with that being said, are you sure you want to get back into a relationship so soon? Okay, yeah, Feb’s way past now, but dating often leads to something more serious and you should be sure you are ready to get into that, assuming that’s what you’re looking for. Relationships take work, and while I have no clue what the background is to what ended things with your fiancé, I would advise that you tread carefully, especially if you have a tendency to look for the “easy way out” of serious things. If you’re looking for a relationship, you had better be sure you’re ready for one. On the other hand, if you’re just looking for some bootay, that’s fine too, but be honest with yourself and those you meet.

That being said, speaking as a nerd myself, I will say we geeky gals aren’t an easy lay. I know I won’t let a guy anywhere NEAR my Pikachu panties unless he can recite all 151 original Pokémon – backwards – so I can understand how hard it is being a nerd in your neck of the woods. Do you travel often? There are some great conventions in Canada that could be a lot of fun and great for meeting like-minded people.

This is a link to a calendar of every large anime/gamer convention that happens in Canada. It’s definitely a great place to start if you are looking for love in all of nerdy places! I can vouch for the fact that there’s nothing more romantic than an unexpected moment when you happen to be nose-deep in your favorite manga or looking at some anime in the dealer’s room, only to reach for it and have your hand brush against that of a fellow con-goer who just happened to be reaching for the same manga/comic/video game as you. Your eyes meet, sparks fly…

Ah, l’amour.

So best of luck! There’s also lots of dating sites geared towards us geeks and anime lovers. Embrace your nerdiness, and find someone to embrace it with you.

Best of luck, friend. You can do it!

Kisses, Kurosune

After a hard day’s work behind the counter, Autrum tells us how she finds humor and therapy in SG’s Retail Group.

Members: 865 / Comments: 4,666

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: I love it because it is so therapeutic to know I am not the only one having to deal with asshole customers, managers, and co-workers on a daily basis. It’s great to be able to vent somewhere about the tremendous amount of crap you get from working in retail and find the humor in some situations.

DISCUSSION TIP: Don’t be afraid to share your mind and vent or poke fun of whatever happened to you at work that day. Someone will most likely show you up with a worse or funnier story.

MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: The thread that is the most heated is the Pet Peeves thread. Whenever I am feeling down, it hasn’t failed to make me smile or shake my fist in the air.

BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “The customer who seems to think the shop should open early/re-open after closing time just for them, to the extent they’ll start hammering on the door/ringing the doorbell to get your attention simply in order to ask, ‘Are you open?’ Yes, the ‘Closed’ sign, no lights on, locked door and absence of people in the shop all actually mean that we’re open, you colossal tallywhacker.”

WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Anyone who is or has worked in retail and wants to reminisce about the good, the bad, and the colossal tallywhackers!

Wizard World Chicago wrapped another successful weekend at the Rosemont Convention Centre, and for the 5th year in a row SuicideGirls were there to celebrate all the comic, gamer, and pop culture awesomeness.

Hot on the heels of Comic-Con, Wizard World Chicago is one of the largest comic book conventions in the United States, and features a wicked line up of comic, anime, horror, science fiction, television, and film personalities. Less a straight up comic-con and more a pop culture explosion, this show has something for everyone, including everyone’s favourite internet babes – the SuicideGirls!

Newly minted SuicideGirls Amarena, Dimples, Essence, and Shipwreck got their first taste of life at the SG booth, along side Chicago favorites Bellebane, Churtch, Delia, Hedy, and Oogie. Copies of our coffee table book Beauty Redefined literally flew off the table, as the girls posed for photos and greeted fans from the US, Canada, Mexico & the UK.

Over the course of the four day event, we made loads of friends, and met more fans than we could count. Can’t wait to see y’all at the booth next year!

Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: Do you have advice for me about how to make the first move (make contact) and let a nice girl know that I really like her. I’m a little bit unsure because I’m in a wheelchair. She’s not. I just don’t want her to reject me right away only because I’m in a wheelchair. Can you give me advise on how to make a good first impression?

A: Well my advice to you is don’t go into this looking at the end result. Don’t focus on that fact you want a relationship from this girl, but instead break it down. First just make contact and strike up a conversation. Let that be your first goal. ‘Cause if it doesn’t go any farther than that, then there’s no disappointment and no expectations from her on your side.

Then look at building a casual acquaintance, which has the potential in time to grow into a friendship with this girl and build on that. As you and her become more comfortable with each other, you can get to know her as a person and vice versa, and see if you really want something more. If so, then you already laid the groundwork for a solid relationship.

As far as making initial contact with her, just be yourself, confidence is a must. If you don’t feel it, fake it. Be the smart, witty, charming, funny person you have inside and let it show. If you don’t think of yourself as being at a disadvantage compared to other guys, then she wont see that either. Go into it thinking you’re the greatest guy out there, and she will see that. And honestly, if she can’t overlook some metal between your legs, then she isn’t someone worthy of your time!

Good luck and keep me posted on it!

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

This week Kurosune tells us why she’s drawn to SG’s Hentai Group.

Members: 1,804 / Comments: 8,517

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: What’s not to like about a group that discusses tentacles, furries, chicks growing massive dicks (stay away from Bible Black – it’s NOT for the faint of heart), bukkake, maids who punish their male employers in acts of BDSM, anti-demon slaying ninjas who wind up the prisoners of giant orges…or even just the adorable, moe-like girl who is bold enough to make the move and give up her cherished virginity to the wonderful, dreamy, all-round good guy in school who just happens to be her second period math teacher.

DISCUSSION TIP: We loooooove pictures of your particular “yum” – and remember, you ARE in a group that discusses yaoi (boy x boy), yuri (girl x girl) and furries. My personal motto is that you should never “yuck” someone’s “yum.” Don’t be shy (you’re among freaky friends!). Participate often, don’t be an asshole, and everyone should get along just fine. We especially love the ladies here. Contrary to popular belief, women watch hentai too. We love it!

BMOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: Hands down, it’s a tie between the “Favorite Images” and “What’s Your Favorite Hentai Artist.” I ALWAYS love reading those. Hentai is really visual, so pictures posted (be they silly, hot, funny, disturbing or whatever) usually manage to brighten someone’s day. And I love seeing what hentai people love. My faves are, hands down, Taimanin Asagi, Stringendo & Accelerando, and Sensual Pornograph – my first and favorite yaoi!!!

BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “Tentacles? In MY vagina???”

WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: It’s a private group, so you have to request to join. Only those who have at least some blog/comment activity will be allowed in, but basically anyone who jumps in pure joy at the words “hentai,” “yaoi,” “yuri,” “bukkake,” or “virgins in high school uniforms” is welcome.
