Pink has premiered her "favorite video ever". An artistic visual becomes the theme of "Try" music video which was directed by Floria Sigismondi and choreographed by the Golden Boyz, the latter who has worked with the likes of Madonna and Britney Spears. Pink and a male dancer depict a passionate and emotional relationship in a contemporary dance piece that requires high skill to perform. The dance moves tell the story of two lovers engaged in violence, sex, pain, drama and remorse among others. "Making this video was the most fun I've ever had in my entire career. I never wanted it to end. It's my favorite video ever," she said previously. Pink also wrote on Twitter of her mother's reaction after watching the video. "My mom, after seeing the new video... 'Wow, honey. I'm speechless. And uncomfortable. No one can ever say you play it safe.' Thanks, mama:)" she wrote. "Try" is a single lifted from her sixth studio album "The Truth About Love".
A week after releasing a lyric music video for "Oath", Cher Lloyd came back with a new one that features her in retro bikini. The 2010 "The X Factor" finalist recreates Britney Spears' famous bored-in-class scene before having fun like typical American teens. The new music video is part of her attempt to break into the U.S. market. The Brit has earned performing spots on such American TV shows as "Dancing with the Stars", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". "Oath", featuring rapper Becky G., is released as the first single from the U.S. version of her debut album, "Sticks + Stones". In U.K., the single will be included in the deluxe version which will be released later this year.

With the national divorce rate at an all time high, it’s pretty obvious that relationships/marriages just aren’t working out the way they used to. Some men blame it on the feminist movement in which women are seeking out equal treatment economically and socially; and some women feel like a man’s desire to “stick it in anything that moves” is what keeps them from developing any trust in their partner. Personally, I feel like an entire collective of twenty first century phenomenons are responsible, but regardless as what you feel is responsible for the destruction of long lasting relationships doesn’t change the issue. It also doesn’t help that the couples that do seem to stick together often appear glum and miserable. However, there are a couple of things that you can give up to hopefully increase your chances of making your relationship work out.

Social Media:
How much time do you spend each day creeping on your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s Facebook profile and twitter for traces of infidelity? Honestly, why bother asking your partner what they’re doing or what they feel like the current state of the relationship is if they can just log on to your Twitter account and find out? Trust is what 45% percent of people feel is crucial to a successful relationship has now become a extraneous. Is it possible that if social media websites lost their appeal to the new generation we would see an increase in the amount of successful relationships? If you want to have a happy and long-lived relationship, relying on your partner’s word and not some social media site definitely seems like the healthiest thing to do. I’m not saying you have to delete your Facebook; but a little self control will take you a long way. Make an effort to discontinue obsessively stalking your partner every chance you get.

Pornography:
Men now have the ability to view millions of naked women in the comfort of their homes with the click of a button. Does anyone else see how this has taken its toll on relationships of this generation? Why should any man feel motivated to seek out a new partner or build upon any current relationship when sexual release has become so easily accessible? And with obesity being such an epidemic; finding a woman that mirrors the image of the women on our computer screens seems near to impossible. It’s vacuous to think that you can enjoy an unlimited source of free porn and some day have what it takes to maintain a relationship. Men, less porn and more physical interaction with women is what is going to shape you into the man that is prepared to sustain a relationship.

Marriage:
Is it possible that the concept of marriage itself is detrimental to a durable relationship? I find that when two people are a team and have a goal they are both striving toward they tend to stick together until that goal is complete at the very minimum. It appears that when two people first begin dating, they have a common aim of taking things to an exclusive relationship level before getting engaged, moving in together, and then getting married. What’s next? Is marriage the final milestone in your current relationship? If it is, this could be the very reason couples are divorcing and breaking up. To have a successful relationship, it is important to have a goal that is higher in significance and value than marriage. Like any other project that you want to see grow abundantly, a relationship needs goals and direction. Too many people are getting married because it’s what they feel they are “supposed to do”; the same reasons many people are attending college today. Have an understanding of why it is you want to be in a relationship or why it is you want to get married before you just jump into one blind folded.

Closing:
If you’re lazy, you will acquire all the things that lazy people have; a bunch of failed attempts and unfulfilled dreams. It’s time to become industrious and work hard toward what it is you want to see success breed from in your life. With consistency and diligence, success is always right around the corner.

With relationships being things of the past, more and more people are looking for the new channel of interaction between men and women that doesn’t include countless headaches, fights, heartbreak, and expensive gifts every February 14th. What many are turning to is casual sex. Casual sex is something that has always been a dream of just the male gender, but now, casual sex has become something that women want as well. Sex has become something that is more of a sport and there just for pleasure rather than for two people who are in love with each other. Casual sex is, of course, the concept of having sex with someone with absolutely no strings attached; it is strictly for the pure enjoyment of both of the parties involved. Sounds like the greatest concept ever right? Only one tiny problem and no, it is not the increasingly high chance of catching herpes. Rather, it is the fact that this amazing concept of just having causal sex doesn’t work. It never has and it never will. But the fact that it doesn’t work won’t stop anyone from trying, as this has been going on since the beginning of time, but, as we all know, the shelf life you have with a casual sex partner is shorter than the lifespan of those terrible blackberry phones.
Here are the five reasons casual sex just doesn’t work:
1. Jealously
Women are naturally jealous and will always be. And when men get jealous, it’s more of a vengeance type of jealousy, whereas women are more hateful. These two different types of jealousies mixed together don’t mix at all. Whatever side of the equation you are on, if you ever see your casual sex partner flirting or even going on dates with someone else, you are naturally going to get jealous and feel like something of yours is being taken. Even though you two aren’t “together,” there is still a sense of entitlement that is far more than there should be if you’re just having casual sex.
2. Feelings
This leads into the next issue of casual sex: feelings. Feelings suck and take up way too much thought-space in our heads. The good news here is that feelings are usually one sided in the beginning stages. Females are more likely to develop feelings than men are because women are not accustomed to having casual sex. Problem is, when she does eventually develop feelings, she is going to want more than just sex. She is going to want to feel like she has more value than just a regular booty call here and there. And that is when things get complicated. If the guy develops feelings and she doesn’t, it’s even worse because than he just becomes desperate when this was meant to be casual. It is almost impossible for girls to continue having casual sex with guys without catching any emotions. There is just something in their mind that tells them they should develop some type of feeling for guys who are inside of them. It must be all the Disney propaganda that told them Prince Charming is out there.
3. Women hate it
Sure, they might do it because they just got out of a really bad relationship or they don’t really feel like having a boyfriend but still want the same amazing feeling of sex, but deep down inside they hate it. They don’t really want their sacred experience to be cheapened and they don’t ever want to feel like they’re being used. Everything will feel great for them while having sex, but afterwards, there is just no chance that they feel good about themselves knowing they just got used. Women hate it even though it is proven that women enjoy sex way more than men do – just another reason why women are so weird. How can anyone say they were used when they had more of the fun?

4. Short shelf life
The shelf life of casual sex is short, really short. You’ll be lucky enough to get it to the month point before she starts saying she doesn’t want to be used for sex anymore or that she wants more from you. That is the point where things get complicated because you know the golden rule: you can’t turn a booty call into a housewife. The worst part is when you slowly start seeing the casual sex relationship fade away and you just try to get that last bang in there.
5. Excitement dies down
It’s like getting new sneakers — it’s only fun to have for a week and then it’s kind of something that just drags on and becomes increasingly boring. Sure, casual sex is fun and all, but the first week is really where all the excitement is because you just find it amazing that you can have sex on demand. But then the casual sex gets boring and, of course, you’ll want to venture onto a new girl.
