There are probably a lot of spam bots, trolls, scammers, and maybe sex workers in that figure, who might need to make new profiles frequently as their old ones get flagged.

How good are you at falling asleep on time?

My roommate's mother filled in the last check in her checkbook as a guide (without signing it, and putting in obviously fake info) so that my roommate always had an example handy. I thought that was clever, maybe banks could put something like that right in the checkbook.

I adopted an older cat (9 years old, so actually old, not just not-a-kitten) when I was in a similar situation and it was the best decision I ever made. She slept all day, cuddled/played with me for a bit when I got home, then slept cuddled up next to me all night. She didn't demand attention when I was studying, and…

I don't get it. Would he have reacted the same way to toilet paper or bandaids or any other product meant to clean or contain bodily fluids? Kleenex is basically booger paper, yet it's totally normal to have a box of tissues in plain view. Why should tampons and pads be considered super icky and have to be hidden?

I thought they were comparing advertising campaigns. As in, they used photos of a model wearing a size 8 for some retail stores or some visitors to the website, while other shoppers saw a model wearing the same dress in a 14, and they found that the first group bought more. But I'm not sure...

Any of the above should work. If you get insurance through the university, go to Student Health. If you get insurance through your parents, you can probably see either your normal physician or student health. If you don't have insurance, student health or planned parenthood will probably have the lowest copay for the…

In addition to the religious aspect of the "cohabitation leads to more divorce" thing, there are also financial factors. If you're poor, you're both more likely to divorce and more likely to move in with your girlfriend or boyfriend because of financial pressure. Instability and poverty put a lot of stress on a…

I'm a New Englander and have never seen anyone make sun tea here. I kind of thought it was a West Coast thing, but I really don't know... Most of my friends prefer iced coffee to iced tea.

I wish we'd chosen a first apartment together that had a space that was entirely mine. Instead we chose a 1-bed with an open floor plan living room/kitchen, with one corner for his office (he worked from home a lot). So I went from having the most privacy and personal space of my life (my own studio apartment) to the…

I don't think I'd have done the same in that situation, but I'm struck by how many of the comments you're getting seem to be based on people's memories of their own childhood, overlooking the fact that very few of us remember what it's like to be four. When I think about myself as a child I'm thinking about myself at…

Just different family sizes. I have less than 20 relatives, by which I mean my cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, grandparents, parents and siblings. I'm sure I have second cousins and great aunts and uncles somewhere, but I've never met them. My boyfriend's family is even smaller, so we could easily have…

Yeah, naked is the default state of Barbies. When they want a dress that is currently on another Barbie, they just take it off without bothering to re-dress the now-naked doll. Don't ask me why they always want the one dress being worn by another doll, but they do. Eventually all the dolls are naked except for the one…

I had a roommate who was shocked that I didn't want her boyfriend moving in with us. Boyfriend in question had just gotten out of an inpatient anger-management program, which he was forced to attend after threatening Roommate with a gun and then nearly beating to death some random dude who annoyed him in a liquor…

There's a lot of questions. Tattoos, sexual history, intravenous drug use (they also have you roll up your sleeves to check for signs of IV drug use), height and weight, travel, medical conditions, etc. They're not all outright bans. If you got tattooed in a state that doesn't regulate tattoo parlors you can't donate…

The meds do have side effects, and while the mother's initial decision to discontinue treatment was pretty risky, letting her stay off treatment when she seemed to be doing well was pretty safe, as long as she was getting checked regularly for any signs of the virus's return. Her docs may have felt that the risk of…

If I had to guess, "telling his side of the story" probably plays a role. Some of these guys feel that they were justified or driven to it and don't want to get painted as some random nut. Or they want the infamy of being in the news for a lot longer or to torment the surviving victims or the relatives of the dead.

I don't think you need to worry about bumping the age range up. An age range that goes significantly below the person's age but only a few years above in age is a red flag for a lot of women, but an age range that skews older is much less of a concern. The stereotypical "cougar hunter" is a guy in his early twenties…

I don't know anyone whose lost weight permanently or semipermanently with a juice cleanse, it seems like it always comes right back.

There's a chance he wasn't hitting on you. Some orthodox Jews go around trying to "convert" less-religious or non-religious Jews. So if you'd said you were Jewish he might have asked you out, but he also might have tried to convince you to attend a service or community event at his synagogue.
