I'd quit coffee before being celibate for a year, without question, but:

How the hell did Genny Cream end up as 3rd worst? Shit is definitely better than that godawful Simple Times lager. My very drunky 3-person apartment took literal weeks to finish the six pack.

Acceptable for acquaintances and friends you're not that close with, but close friends deserve notice. It doesn't have to be an in-person break-up or a long list of really valid well-explained reasons, but a quick, "I don't feel like our friendship can continue, thanks for the good memories, bye," note goes a long way.

Fun secret: do the same shit that male pick-up artists do. Neg. Switch between compliments and teasing. I definitely know female sex workers who swear by The Game.

I'm shocked at how few people question that she actually did rip him off.

Anyone can get business cards. They're not expensive.

Okay, yeah, I did read that as really sarcastic. I'm glad it wasn't. Super unfair, for sure.

Because requesting more information = WAAAAAAAAH.

The thing where men get twice as many drinks a week as we do — is that actually biology?

"Pimp" doesn't really seem like the correct description here. He sounds more like the old-fashioned equivalent of what's now the phone girl. Interesting that men used to do that job. Nowadays most establishments don't have men doing any kind of work that has to do with talking to clients.

You wrote an article about escort review sites like they're a new thing and couldn't be bothered to consult a single escort.

Yeah, but someone quietly thinking dirty thoughts isn't inflicting those thoughts on someone with the express intent of making them uncomfortable. There is a huge difference.

Yes, THIS.

I think you're getting at a really good point, which is that there are different degrees of wanting to bone someone. I've had a number of attractive male friends who I find attractive but don't consider sexing until I'm a few drinks deep and/or really horny. If the attraction is mild, it's just not worth changing the…

Yes, there are plenty of couples who were friends first. It's worth noting that most of them were actual friends, and their friendship was never a thinly veiled attempt to maneuver the other into a relationship.

White cis women who happen to be carrying condoms for personal use aren't likely to be bothered, no. Trans women of color, on the other hand, DO get targeted with this law, regardless of whether or not they're doing sex work.

That's true, but I can also honestly say that hooking up gave me a good chance to practice sexual assertiveness. A mildly inebriated hookup with someone you may never see again is a low-stakes situation. You're not emotionally invested so you're not as worried about being tactful and since you're having sex for the…

It boggles my mind that they still make people mark their race on forms and don't allow them to specify if they're multiracial. It is 2013.

And it is. FOR YOU. And for lots of other people. For other people, it's not.

My most hated words are fart and felch.
