Amerie’s hit song “1 Thing” never gets old for me. The track applauds the one thing about a potential beau that is driving her crazy – in the right way. So much so, in fact, that it has her “trippin’.” We’ve all been there. Whether it’s the way someone laughs, walks, or speaks that turns us on, there’s always just that one thing about that special person. Unfortunately, sometimes the opposite is true, and there’s just one thing that annoys the hell out of us about the one we’re with, and that’s just no fun.

Ah men. You can’t live with them, but you can’t live without them…because they insist on living with you so someone will do their laundry. No matter your “type” of guy, there are a few habits that are just universally man. And sometimes, it’s a relief to hear you’re not the only one dealing with it! Here are 10 gems of male habits.

After some time being together, most couples eventually begin to consider either getting married or moving in together (the latter should hopefully lead the altar sometime after though).  Moving in together can be a great go-to option if you’re trying to save some mulah, and/or if you just can’t get enough of each other.  The issue then of course, is whether both parties are ready to make such a large commitment.  Merging two lives, bills and possessions, can often create unforeseen differences and disagreements.  So how do you know if you are ready? If you have discussed the seven issues listed here with your man, and have found a compromise with each and every one of them, then pack your bags, you’re on your way to cohabitation!
