Are those... matching denim knee pads? Or are they hidden underneath, all sekrit-like?

Ah, you really pointed out a helpful distinction there, for me: many of my friends have a stay-at-home spouse, and the happier couples have been ones that made the choice together (that was certainly our case). I hadn't thought about the scenario where the dude is essentially working one day and then fired and…

Reverse experience: do you know that good looking actor who played Jess's fuckbuddy 'Doctor Sam' on New Girl?

Learn to like dry toast (preferably made with good quality, non enriched flour bread) versus buttered.

"No man owes you a lifestyle. And no man can take away a lifestyle you earn yourself."

I don't see why any person would stand for that level of selfishness from his or her stay at home partner. I don't mean that in a smartassed way, I mean that I am truly, constitutionally incapable of imagining shrugging off that degree of disrespect. Sitting on your ass all day and playing XBox doesn't fly,…

Oh, God. It's the Advil that really puts it over the top into "unsavory" for me.

This one always pleased my inner (drunk, sing-shouting) juvenile delinquent, when scorned:

We could really use more women in science fiction writing, so perhaps you'll find a way to combine your love of science and the fulfillment of writing into a future career... or at least, a damn fine hobby. Best of luck!

Are you at all interested in spec fiction (scifi, horror or fantasy)? Jezebel's sister site io9.com has a great regular feature called something like "writing concept prompt", where they post a really unique image as a jumping off point for a short story.

I have known a surprising number of Super Virgins (and once was one). We all met and married amazing gents in our 30s. I absolutely agree with the poster who mentioned that being a confident, competent single person is a potential bonus to your future relationships. Cultivating your independence now, and learning…

Ah, too bad. It does sound like it may have been him. Tosser. (I'm not British but always love an excuse to bust out that term, and he sounds deserving!)

Does he have a new girlfriend/fuck buddy/stalker?

I'm getting a weird narcissist vibe from your description. Perhaps the thing he's mostly attracted to is himself?

Well, congrats on your face, Elder Hanson! Poor guy had the awkards something fierce during their heydey, if I recall. Back then, he looked like a young Chad Kroger while his prettier brother stole most of the attention. Nice to see he grew out of that.

YES! Worse, I assumed that the photo was of the two older Hansons showing off their beer, so I had a momentary "holy shit, the Mmmbop kids turned into Ewan MacGregor and Ed Helms clones!" freak out.

Well, we never told anyone we were engaged until we got eloped 7 mos later... so... maybe we tie?? Or maybe that means I win on stealth and lose on bitch. I'm not sure of this math on this puppy.

Ha, we did the move-without-consulting thing, too, i can't believe that was supposed to be a consultation! Good to know, and (obviously) I like your style.

Pro Tip: when deciding who is invited, don't just picture best case scenario. Have a backup. Things can go "wrong" during delivery. We had a twofer!

We did that. Worked well.
