I am not! The guy I lost it to was pretty awesome: a gymnast who spoke 4 languages, was super smart, went on to become a diplomat, and was very good-looking as well.

I probably take a cab once a month (usually drunk home from a bar) I've thankfully never been harassed (That I can remember) although I did once have a driver tell me that the reason he couldn't smoke in his cab was that all the other drivers are "Paki's" and they don't smoke.... what a prize he was.

I'm just going throw this out there...being a cabbie is a tough job. You got people squirrling on you, robberies, drunk people vomiting in your car all the time. You don't make nearly the amount that people think you do. The hours suck. I can't even remember all the times I got punched.

This exists! I'll post a link below. It's called SheTaxi (or SheRides in NYC). There is some debate over the legalities regarding discrimination based on gender, but sounds like they might find a loophole and work it out. Interestingly, having women passengers also makes the female drivers feel safer because being a…

I've never encountered a creepy cabbie. I'm not saying they aren't out there- I believe they are, and that many of them work for Uber- but I don't think it's fair to characterize all of them as creepy. I've never had a driver that wasn't courteous and professional.

Just watched. Can confirm. Disturbing is an understatement.

It's very disturbing. Try to imagine watching it as a youth.

Omg wait that's definitely what it sounds like, but the actual video is horrifying in a completely different way. It's like Tumblr's worst night terror.

Leave her alone. If you should ever run into her in person, do it then.

He says he's a different person, but he starts the note with a "you're not that hot I wasn't even asking you out" paragraph before saying all he can do is apologize, but not actually apologizing. This is after he asked out a woman he apparently remembered tormenting but decided to act like nothing had ever happened.

To put a positive spin on it, that means we are currently on the 3rd stage of the Gandhi Social Change Scale (1. they ignore you, 2. they laugh at you, 3. they fight you. 4. your win).

Absolutely. This is everything I wanted to say and more. And to bring it even wider, kids, when they come into money, their own money, behave/act all sorts of stupid and a good number of them don't come back from that - with a litany of examples to choose from. I'm with you on DiCaprio's scale. Well said, 1234!

thank you very much, this is insightful and helps a lot. It's sad that I know this, but I sent a couple messages every few days for 3 months 3 weeks and 6 days after we broke up. I have not sent anything else since (2 months now). I was just pleading for another chance. I fielded some pretty harsh messages in response…

Women get to choose their mates? Does this mean I can marry Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

First, I never said natural is superior. Second, your response to me WAS along the lines of " we can't possibly know what we know because there are no studies." You said "Direct experiences in and of themselves aren't scientific or rigorous evidence without controls. Evidence-based medicine requires a level of…

A lot of obgyns and professionals dealing with hormonal or gut/intestinal/vaginal bacteria imbalances subscribe natural remedies alongside prescriptions. It's not that unusual or controversial.

Some people need to change their diets and use daily preventative measures if they are more prone to certain ailments. My…

So we should always resort to taking whatever pharmaceutical some hot 28-year-old drug rep managed to convince the doctor was the next big thing? When so many miracle drugs turn out to be anything but within ten years?

i know you're a person with a body, but you're also not a vagina-haver, if remember my commentariat correctly. most women, definitely including myself, are simultaneous is awe and in fear of our vaginas. when they work or do something cool, we love them. but it's so easy to mess them up and once you do, you could be…

I've opted for the yogurt (plain, Greek) treatment and in the case of a severe yeast infection it immediately provided relief from symptoms. I was asctually told to do this over the phone by a nurse practitioner when I couldn't come in for an exam and prescription but needed something ASAP. This is one of those things…

I have the same sort of opinion that you do regarding the "natural" phenomenon but depending on what specifically the author means here there are quite a few sort of folk remedy yeast infection treatments including the ones she mentioned that have been backed up by studies - boric acid in particular. Yet this is…
