Who is RC, anyway?
reality chick is the creation of Sydney journalists Rachel Smith and Pip Harry. We're two friendly advice columnists answering your questions on the website and in NW Magazine each week.
Why are we qualified to give advice? Well, we’re not, technically. But between us, our love life experience spans every hook-up avenue you could think of (Speed Dating and RSVP included), over six live-in relationships, numerous messy break-ups, one cheating ex, marriage, motherhood – and about a gazillion insight-gathering deep’n’meaningfuls with our friends, family, psychologists and yes, even the odd stranger. So if you want another perspective from a gal who’s probably been in your shoes, then ask reality chick. We’re sure you’ll be glad you did. RC's musings
Aww, shucks!
Seems an anonymous reader stumbled on our site today, and liked what they saw, because he or she sent us a message: “This site is like a classroom, except I don’t hate it. Lol.” We’ll take that as a compliment! Thanks, whoever you are! (Hope you guys all enjoy our little blast-from-the-past pic choice.) The reality chicks will be back soon… promise.
R.I.P Kristian Anderson, who lost his battle with cancer this week.
Happy New Year everyone. We hope you all had a lovely festive season. Sadly, our first post for 2012 is a sober one, with the news that husband and dad-of-two Kristian Anderson has died. Kristian and his cancer battle became famous following a YouTube video he made for his wife…
Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas is here, finally! We hope you have a great day, wherever you are and whoever you’re with! The reality chicks are taking a little break, but we’ll be back soon. In the meantime, you can enter our latest Frozen Planet competition, have a trawl through the RC Archives, or send us a question to answer …

What we’re reading this week … Tea with Arwa
One woman’s story of faith, family and finding a home in Australia
By Arwa El Masri | Out now
~ Review by Dolores Turro
Arwa El Masri’s memoir touches on a tricky topic: how it is possible to embrace a new culture without losing one’s own. It’s also about family connections in different countries, food, friendship … and her unlikely love story with husband Hazem El Masri, a well-known rugby league player. Her narrative is direct and appeals to the readers’ feelings – and stomachs as well! Expect your mouth to water with the wonderful collection of recipes, both Arabic and Australian, scattered throughout the book…
Relationships
How to get over my girlfriend’s past (and her secret dildo)? I’ve been dating this amazing girl for the last five months. Our sex life is the greatest. However, I’m having bad self-esteem issues, because during our first month, she told me how many guys (and girls) she dates, where she had sex with them and how ‘ok’ it was for her to have casual sex…
The dating scene
How do I tell my other half that he’s a total tightarse? How do you tell your other half they are tight without them thinking badly of you? He is really nice person … but tight as!!! It drives me crazy to split a bill, I’d rather take it in turns, but can you advise me on how to approach the subject?
Sex, love + lust
Can’t stop being suspicious of my bisexual girlfriend How do I deal with a bisexual girlfriend? In the beginning I thought I would be fine with that, but lately I have been suspicious of every single interaction she makes with a girl and I fear being dumped by someone who can give her something I don’t have (like a vagina, for instance)…
Break-ups and make-ups
We split, I’m going away. But is there still hope with my ex? My boyfriend and I have recently broken up. We hadn’t been getting along – not helped by the fact that we were sharing a tiny apartment and he was under intense stress at work. I think he is depressed but he doesn’t believe in counselling. Eventually he said he didn’t know what he wanted anymore, if we had a future or not…
Up the duff stuff
MANSWERS: A guy I met online wants to have a baby with me. Gulp. I just met this guy on the internet and before meeting, he says he wants me to ditch the birth control so we can start making babies! VERY unusual for me. He said I can talk to him, get to know him a little before deciding…
Something else entirely
I’m a junior in love with a freshman – and my mom’s going to crack it! I’m almost 17, a junior in high school, and I have a HUGE crush on someone who’s a freshman. My first boyfriend was a freshman and it didn’t end so well, so my mom will be livid if she finds out. But we really like each other. If we do get together, how do I handle my mom?
Confusing emails or texts
WTF?? Decipher this question and win a prize… I have a friend who just recently had a issue with her boyfriend’s friend. It all started about a month ago when her boyfriend’s friend, J, had a dream about sleeping with his friend B’s girlfriend. J told B that he liked what happened and actually woke up with a boner. Well, B told his girlfriend …
