Except when you are actively friend zoning someone, you aren’t blurring the lines by talking to them about all the things you would like to do to them sexually. You aren’t expecting that they are going to spend all day texting back and forth with you. You aren’t jealous when another love interest enters the picture.

Nope. He totally came at me with romantic interest. Talked of his romantic interest. Basically did everything but actually pull the trigger on the shit.

I remember getting a safety lecture from a workplace safety engineer once: For every workplace fatality, there are on average 100 non-fatal injuries doing the same operation, and for every workplace injury, there are on average 100 near-miss accidents doing the same operation. So, on average, workers will have 10,000…

As always, it’s amazing that as long as humanity has been having babies, we don’t have better solutions for these fairly common complaints.

“As always, it’s amazing that as long as humanity has been having babies, we don’t have better solutions for these fairly common complaints”

Who do these complaints impact? Women? Not that amazing then really, is it?

Honestly, its infuriating. It appears that my fellow men dont either care about their partners well…

No no no. What I meant is stating what you’re looking for relationship-wise up front.

this makes me furious. furious.

I want a list of every woman who has been maimed or murdered for daring to go outside and be human and was attacked by one of us garbage ass niggas who can’t tuck their entitlement in and accept that women don’t have to give us a moment of their time.

I think we know why the women were rotated through quickly. Why no one ever thought, “Hey, maybe we should just replace the guy who’s the problem instead of the women who did nothing wron,” tells you how deeply ingrained misogyny is in everything.

So this means that creepy white dudes Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer have both been replaced by women of color, specifically women of middle eastern descent - Christiane Amanpour and Hoda Kotb. So can we, like, kick out all the creepy white dudes from positions of power everywhere and replace them with awesome women of…

Sometimes we want someone so badly, we overlook all the warning signs and red flags that should send us running in the opposite direction.

However, when she was being questioned by Stephens’ lawyer, Junien did acknowledge that a detective had identified Stephens as the shooter before she had had a chance to identify him for herself.

You can’t see everybody’s intentions upon first meeting/seeing them.

It’s stories like these that have made me afraid...just for a guy to like me. You just don’t know how these guys will react. Sometimes just being polite will put you in harms way. I told an 60+year old man good morning passing him in the store & held the door open for him. He said thank you & 15sec later asked me for…

So you’re trying to say that if a man really does want to date a woman, and after a couple of months of flirting she’s like “so what are we doing here?”... that dude’s NOT gonna speak up and let her know he’s interested in her? That’s the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard.

Interestingly enough, this is my exact story right now, and I believe most of the issues stem from people playing defensively to protect feelings instead of offensively to actually grow feelings.

Great, smart piece. I was recently single so I downloaded all the dating apps. I imagined the fun I had: I’d meet all sorts of hot men, date a lot, maybe have a crazy fling.

I have nothing valuable to add, other than I am glad to have access to such wonderful, grown-ass woman wisdom <3

“Mom always had an altered sense of reality...”

I’m not racist. I have white friends. Namaste!
