It's not all it's cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy good sex. Unfortunately what is good for my sex life has not been good for my overall happiness and well being, in the long term, I think. I've been in and out of relationships and pseudo-relationships and fuck buddy situations and fucking whatever…

You're not being too sensitive. No true friend would give you a hard time for not drinking. I've always been a social drinker, and I can tell you, it's NOT hard having friends who don't drink! Some abstain for personal reasons, some for religious reasons. It doesn't matter, we can all still get together and have a…

Good Luck!

I think there is a fundamental difference between wanting a space that is interested in issues relevant to men and asserting the desire for a space "for" men—most of media already is FOR men, in that it is written by men, caters to men, and is concerned about matters only as they relate to men. You're right that it…

So I've stopped even applying for jobs. Besides being tired of sending applications out into the world and never hearing a word back, I feel like such shit about myself that I just can't it together to write a decent cover letter. Getting a job would probably alleviate my depression somewhat, but I have no idea how to…

When a grocery store discontinues something I depend on, I go into a tailspin until I can replace it.

You didn't lose your chance at happiness. You found it. It doesn't sound like you two were going to be happy. You have a chance now. I know it's scary, but this might help- have you every heard anyone say, "wow, I shouldn't have broken up with that guy I was dating 5 years ago" ? I never have. :)

I've been through awful heartbreak and I wish I could give you a hug. But please read what you just wrote. Do you really believe that at 30 you could blow "your" chance at happiness (the possesive pronoun implying my only one..) Being in pain doesn't mean you're weak or damaged, it just means what happened to you…

My acne has gotten WORSE now that I'm in my 30s. Like, much worse. :/ Eh, but I'm with Mark. After awhile, who gives a shit?

Hey everybody! Since the NuKinja takeover many of the trolls have slipped through. I've made several comments across Gawker Media about this, but it is worth repeating:

oh, they're not over. I've just given up.

A desperate need for unconditional love is also why (some) people have babies.

I'm so, so sorry to read of you going through this. I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better, but I do know how you feel. {{{hugs}}}

Yes! I am a cat person, but my last cat was more dog than cat (23lb monster animal...not fat, just...vast.)

People who don't like animals baffle me.

This whole article seems to be predicated on the assumption that if someone doesn't want a kid yet, then they're irresponsible and lazy. It is possible for someone to not want children and still be capable of understanding how to take care of something. Most of us got the "a pet is a big responsibility!" talk when we…

I'm a cat person, and I liked this comment, but I gotta say, dogs are wonderful and amazing in their particular canine way.

I seriously mistrust people who actively dislike animals. Yes, we've fucked with the gene pools of domesticated animals hugely - and they require constant attention and love and interaction - but animals are amazing and pretty much 1000% better than most people walking the earth. So there's that.
The point should be…

Cats are better, anyway.
