Among other annoyances that jumped out at me about these episodes, maybe the biggest character inconsistency that I saw was Hannah's ridiculous over analysis of the car ride out to pick up Jessa.

And actually, the more I look at the dress on her, it doesn't look that ill fitting at all. I think that's the problem that some "fleshy" girls (someone else on this thread used those words too!) — the dress probably fits perfectly, but because she has some fleshy parts that may show a bit more, it is assume that…

In the context of a forum where she is being critiqued against people may very well be size 0 or a tiny bit larger, and where people are saying her dress doesn't fit because her fat is spilling out? Yes, I don't think it's dishonest to say that she is a "bigger girl" than some of the other people walking down the red…

I just watched the premiere, and I am filled with an unreasonable rage to put my fist through a wall. I know on some level this is the show's intention, and I kind of admire them for showing how insipid these people are, but I feel like the show should be broadcast with a trigger warning: "Be advised. The idiocy…

Except that Brooklyn isn't even that edgy or non-mainstream any more. That's the whole point - it seems like it's become homogenized by hipsters. It's so funny to hear people from Brooklyn talk about being edgy, when it's actually the most over represented city in terms of media presence in the country.

Lena Dunham - she doesn't always look perfect, but I think that's part of her charm. And it is kind of statement making in this forum - we complain a whole lot about needing to see more realistically sized women in the media, but when there is one, everybody dumps all over her for not getting the style exactly right.

Her facial expressions are kind of weird - it's looks like she's trying be funny, but it just doesn't fit the occasion. She could turn off the performance, and just give a nice graceful smile.

Erm, is it just me, or is the big boobs assessment on Lena wrong here? From photos I've seen of her, she doesn't exactly have big boobs, she's just um, a big girl. I think the fit is wrong because they had to cinch up the chest for her small boobs from the wider part of the dress (to fit the wider part of her body)…

Ha! The one of Matthew McConoughey looks like Teller just snuck into someone else's photo shoot with him. "Surprise! Oh Hey Telly, it's you!"

I should also mention that the reason why it's so annoying is that these people don't seem to realize that the reason they are able to do all these things is because of the money they have access to. They seem to have a hard time understanding that not everyone has the same resources they do, and are unable (or…

This is the worst, and ironically I've encountered a lot of these types in Phd students in elite graduate programs. The complaining of people in these situations is particularly hard to sort out - you're paying a shit ton of money for your Phd, in many cases in which you are getting PAID by your program to be in it,…

Actually, they might not be actors, they might be the people who these situations actually happened to. I know they do that with one medical show on TLC.

I think it's referring to the fears that a person might have about holding onto the relationship. "Consensual" because the person agrees to do it, but "unwanted" because they would rather not have to in order to keep the relationship. The unwanted part is a feeling that's unspoken by the person, because they feel…

I think the enjoyability of sexting really depends on the seriousness of the relationship. I've mostly only experienced it with hook-ups, and in those situations, to me it is not hot. Once was with a guy who I had a one-night stand with. After said stand, I thought it might be nice to hook-up again, but I wanted a…

hahaaha! I can't even tell if that's supposed to be sexual or not!

Try not to think that :( I had a college friend who committed suicide a couple of years ago, and I myself have been depressed at times. I think these kinds of situations, particularly when there may not be obvious signs, have a strong effect of making us question our own lives.

Ha ha, also, I just want to share - I have some friends who just had their first baby this year, and they have made a BIG show of how this kid is not going to stop their social life, and quite frankly I'm pretty impressed by them. Like, even taking the 6th month old out to bars, so that they can maintain their sanity…

I understand. But my point is, is that if you're consistently confronted with a similar situation over and over, maybe you should come to expect that you're going to have to make changes about how you go about making plans, instead of canceling and being unhappy all the time. If this is a consistent problem,…

some women thrive on that kind of validation though :-/

I'm still a little put off by your saying you keep "getting the short end of the stick." It's not a competition, and it sound like you're doing a lot of score keeping. If you want to make plans and you know he might not be available, get some independence, stop complaining and learn to go out without him. I think…
