Believe it not, and I know this is a shocker, men and women often MISUNDERSTAND each other! Wh-wh-what? So the experts at YourTango.com broke down some of our most common misunderstandings:

1. Men Ask, Women Hint - Men make direct requests, women put other's needs above their own -- Women need to be more direct.

2. For Women, It's in the Details - As every man on the planet knows, women have an amazing memory for details. Women need to remember men don't share that same gift.

3. Problems: Listening Vs. Solving -- She has a problem, he tries to solve it. Men should offer compassion first and then help. Women, on the other hand, need to give men help first, and then compassion.

And the list goes on and on! Get the entire thing here!

Toxic Friends
We all have 'em. People we call friends, but are nothing more than balls of stress to be around. Maybe they're overly critical, perpetually depressed, or just plain annoying -- whatever it is, you need to break it off.  AOLcom has 12 types of friends you should break up with -- here are 5:

• The Faultfinder -- Always critical of everything you do or say.
• The Therapist -- The advice giver. CONSTANT advice giver.
• The Self-Absorbed -- When was the last time they asked about you? Kick 'em to the curb.
• The Promise Breaker -- If you want to keep this person around, lower your expectations.
• The Risk Taker -- From shoplifting and experimenting with drugs to driving recklessly, you friend's behavior should raise some serious flags.
