Are we talking about Harry Shum? Because if so I would like to endorse this comment.

Alas

I think the rule is that the shorter the girl is the more she wants to date a guy who is over six foot tall. The exception being that women who are tall just want to date a guy at least as tall as they are, which I don't think is as unreasonable as these little 5'1'' pixies who want to date Andre the Giant.

Yeah. It's always the really short girls who are obsessed with dating guys who were 6'2'' plus. I find it to be incredibly obnoxious and judgmental and greedy. The whole idea that men should be bigger is bullshit, but even if you buy into some sense of gendered proportionality, what actually looks good is more like…

I feel like I know you. Are you Canadian?

Sometimes two piece dresses are awkward

I LOVE this dress and everything about this look. Amazing.

Apparently, that is a controversial position here.

Thats like saying that people who like white lightbulbs don't have souls. Maybe we just want to be able to see the other charming elements in our house — our pictures, our carefully chosen sofa and rugs, in the color they were intended to be without a garish glow cast upon them. White lights showcase unique and…

Exactly. I just wrote a thesis below to say what you managed to say in three sentences.

Oh wait, I agreed with Ari, but disagree with you. I am "serious" about my ornaments, but they are a mish mash of random, homemade ornaments, old style wooden ornaments, those red painted iron ones with the vintage look etc. Basically, an old fashioned, wooden tree — much like the ornaments sold at Pier 1, but with…

No, but if we are focusing on what this tread was originally about — Zoe's hypothetical black friends — then I think its safe to assume we are talking about middle/upper middle class/rich black people. In that group, women out number the men in droves. It is a well known trope in black movies that it's hard to find…

I like her. I think she is beyond beautiful, and I root for her, but I don't think she is a very good actress. She comes off as distractedly cold. It worked in Bring it on. Not so much in Flash Forward.

I missed the part when these were mutually exclusive categories. What race is Latina? Are Charlie Sheen, Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Lopez, and Gina Torres all the same race?

That's probably for people doing the same work. I.e. black female retail workers make the same as black male retail workers. But it is my understanding that black women are more likely to have better jobs than black men, as we graduate college/high school/grad school at a rate of 2 to 1 or something. Thus, while…

More black women graduate college/professional school/high school than black men, so I'm guessing the middle/upper middle class makes more. But I'm sure working class blacks, who are the majority, are still subject to the same wage gape issues.

Yup. Particularly since she is very clear that she doesn't identify as black.

Talenti ice cream. YES.

Now I'm reconsidering my affection for whiskey …

I think this is absolutely true. Sometimes I worry because the guy I'm with is wonderful, and I am thrilled about how committed he is, but at other times I think — what if he is so into this just because I'm the one who came along in his early thirties and all his friends are getting married/having kids?
