Gentleman Companion/Caller (GC): A lovely term, coined by our grandmothers, that does an amazing job of titling men who would otherwise be very tricky to title.

FWB (Friend with Benefits): Male friends that were possibly once boyfriends or former flings or none of those. Regardless of background, FWBs are friends that come with extra benefits (and yes, you know which ones we mean).
Beauty Review Rating Codes:
- Crush: It’s lust at its best. That thrill of something new, something exciting, something that gets your pulse racing. Will it last until next season? Maybe not. But who cares. It’s here and its now.
- Til Death do us Part: True Love. In it for the long haul. A product so near and dear to the heart, it’s practically family.
- Maybe next week: There’s no denying a basic attraction and a certain level of interest. We’re totally on board for a few dates but we’re not penning love letters or making commitments here.
- Let’s just be friends: Listen, if we bump into each other, that’s fine. There’s nothing really wrong with it. It’s just that there’s nothing really right either…
- Lost your number: Let’s just forget this whole thing ever happened
