Mazzie, tell him to clean it up. If he won’t, leave. It’s a simple as that.

THERE IS NOT A FRIEND ZONE. It’s not a game. It’s not a field. There’s a person, another human, with a life, who is offering someone friendship. They can take it or not.

Jesus, have respect for other people once in a while.

Yep. Or murdered.

Oh my god, get over yourself. It’s true of nearly all the people in the world. As you walk down the street, take a look at all the people *you don’t want to date*. That’s not you “getting back at” them, that’s you simply not finding everyone in the freaking world attractive. Guess what, they feel the same way about…

Sadly, they’re actually pandering to their new market, which is the WSJ market. For several years they’ve been turning editorial around to face their subscriber base, which is millionaires.

Wait, wtf with the machine-gun guy.

Oh, my. You’ve bought advice from unhappy people.

Rent from a second-property person who maintains the place well, lives nearby, and is responsive. Property corps can be fine, but they’re often crooked and extortionate, and will take it out of you for their deadbeat tenants. The responsible second-property person will…

Not seeing where you get this. I’m up nearly $200K in equity since I bought my properties, and one generates income as a rental. There’s no way I could rent half the space for what I pay on my remaining mortgage, and even accounting for taxes, insurance, upkeep, and item replacement, I still wind up plus equity and…

So, so very true.
I have my own house and a rental property. Home and income. I’ve not had a man living in here in...twelve years. Gosh. I should’ve had a party at ten. I can’t believe what kind of shit my married friends take from their husbands when it comes to what they’re “allowed” to do to their own homes.…

Maybe you should ask the women you’ve been involved with.

I am totally not convinced that it’s a minority of men doing these things. Totally not. When I think back over my long dating/marriage/etc. history involving all kinds of “really good guys”, I would say the majority of them just went right ahead and tried to take whatever they wanted. And felt entirely justified in…

I’m not seeing what’s gray-area about this rape. She was asleep, ffs. Asleep. Not conscious. That’s just plain old rape.

I KNOW, RIGHT? Wacker Drive, every time. I’ve never just automatically flipped off a building before. Not even Tower Records.

Just testing, since all my comments seem to disappear.

Also, how does Justin look so 1970s-wonderful in a tux? Is this something that just runs in the family?

yeah, what’s up lately with all the post removal?

Have fun hiding it from your bosses and co-workers for the rest of your life.

You’ll find it less funny when she divorces you.

You have some seriously troubled notions of how relationships work, and they’re going to guarantee that you behave like a jerk and drive women away. It’ll take you another 15 years to catch on to the fact that you were a jerk and that in fact these women were very patient with you. In the interim you’ll be thoroughly…

Seriously. This is just another form of 80s yuppie assholery. Very glad my Gen Z kid is sensible, also that she respects me, because if she ever even considered this shit I’d ask her if she thought I was stupid, and if not, then why she figures a broke-ass single mom never ate this kind of shit or put herself in this…
