Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

My immigrant parents brought me up with this mentality — men were constantly on the prowl. By the time I grew up, that was only a fraction of my experience. That upbringing really messed with my head when I got rejected by the opposite sex. "Well...if they're lurking around every corner to sex up the next lady…

Yeah what's up with that. Use your WHOLE HAND!

You win the internet today, my friend.

Hats off to you, kind sir/lady!

How about we just tell boys and men that raping a person is wrong? Why does Whoopi have to act like men are just lost causes what with their penii running rampant all over frat parties and dark alleys?

Yes, but sometimes it's within a family, and I think that's okay. I mean...yes I'd see random people come up and see if they could take the remaining keg with them, and I knew better. I did see one bride's dad say to the wedding party, "Yeah, just take that last case of beer. It's cool. You guys deserve it." …

My older bro and SIL, but then again their six figure wedding was a huuuuuge production. My other friends have done the gift opening the day after, which is a smaller brunch.

My Italian SIL complained that, "In Italy, you're traditionally supposed to give a bride and groom cash." (NOTE: they didn't even have a wedding. Just JOP.) My parents gave cash, but I think she thought she should have gotten a bunch of cash from everyone who knew them. She wasn't specific. My dad had a wonderful…

I think carrying off cases of beer is worth an inquiry. In my catering experience (I've done at least 200 weddings), it could be someone told them they could. As a bartender, we'd get questions like that, but I always directed them to the hosts.

Yep. If this exchange means anything, the LGBT community is well on the road to equality with straights. Next thing you know, gay people will be having months-long wedding-related events that drain the bank accounts of their friends and family.

Unless they get a journalism team that knows what it's doing. But yeah...this shouldn't be approached in a cavalier manner. Look what happened to Vogue.

I rarely say this so cut me some slack. She knew what she was getting into. Diana didn't really know any better plus she was younger and comletely misled by the dude she married. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for Kate. You marry a royal; thems the breaks.

Yep, yep. We have a regular vendor in our building who does printing and mail. I was in the middle of a business-related conversation in an elevator, when some creeper decided to hit on me. It was so weird. I think I said, "What? I'm working right now. I don't know you." He was shocked.

No I don't, which is why I don't say it.

I really want to know how he responded. His prose sounded very similar to a Nigerian prince, looking for bank account details.

When you just get out of a serious relationship.
When you've got serious, serious emotional issues.
When you're so obsessed with yourself/work/school/hobby that you literally have time for nothing else.
When you're in a committed relationship with someone else. (I just did that the other night!)
When you work together. …

But when you reject someone who fits your blanket preference, that makes it personal, no?

No. Because he said, "Hey I really love it when women ask me out. Except for you."

It COULD be a good idea but...I don't see how you can fairly criticize someone within a few minutes of knowing them. Mouthbreakers, creepers, oglers, MRAS, and non-communicative people? Yes. Immediately. But that's the OBVIOUS stuff.
