Peeps. I just had a 14 hour day at school. Who the fuck organizes a lecture at 7pm on a Friday? BLAH!

Perhaps this comes down to socialized gender roles—women are socialized to be empathetic and selfless and not impulsive and they are taught to feel guilt whenever they make any selfish choice. Sociopaths and serial killers are the ultimate opposite of the selfless and empathetic. There is something compelling about…

I bestow upon you some of the best pink Nice Guy® Mansplaining:

I am a baby still (25) and I think the homosocial status-worthy thing is definitely as issue for younger dudes who are more ambivalent (or feel pressured to be ambivalent) about relationships. It seems like more older men come to terms with what their attracted to.

This is my EXACT narrative...if it makes you feel better.

"homosocially status-worthy"

I was told by a guy that "you wouldn't be so fucked up about your dad's suicide still if you were skinnier and prettier."

I was kind of dismissive of your comment at first because I assumed it was smug coupled advice, but it REALLY refreshing to hear your experience of this as a single person. Too often it is coupled people acting like they have some sort of knowledge single people don't when in reality, it is a lot of luck.

Self-actualization should come from the self, not the perception of others. If self-actualization and improvement were only tasks undertaken by single people, then few people would do it. You would not need to self-actualize since you're married.

Cue the Nice Guy® take over of this thread blaming women for being too picky.

Except all this pressure means that women are likely to settle...and could really do better. It's a fine line between settling and being too picky and I think many of us are aware of it.

Can't wait for all of the posts will we get here about how some commenter was open and free and herself unlike us single pathetic losers and then met the MAN OF HER DREAMS AND OMG SHE HAS THE MOST PERFECT BF EVER NOW.

But how many posts will we get here about how some commenter was open and free and herself unlike us single pathetic losers and then met the MAN OF HER DREAMS AND OMG SHE HAS THE MOST PERFECT BF EVER NOW.

Contrary to my dating horror posts, I am pretty okay with a dude who lives at home. It's a recession, yo. And as long as you have ambition to do something more, then you'll be fine. Also, B&J's rocks, so emotional eat away!

And a privately funded museum to take care of it!

With a cherry! And it's a fountain!

In Minneapolis, some asshole vandalized the iconic "Spoon Bridge with Cherry" fountain by the pop artist Claus Oldenburg. Fuckers.

I mean, I saw a very thick curvy beautiful woman on the bus yesterday with a muscular, hot boyfriend. As a fatteh with my own self-hate, it was ridiculously jarring. But I see attractive awesome women with uggo, chubby (because chubby ≠ uggo) and it barely fazes me. THANK MEDIA!
