I'll try to think of this the way I do when a friend leaves town — not losing someone, but gaining new places to visit (on the Internet this time). Your voice is one I want to keep listening to.

The 80s!

I notice that among my friends, the hardest breakups are when the guy's not a right one, and the relationship is clearly not sustainable, but still he's not wrong enough that one can just say "dump the toxic assclown" and be done with it.

The museum is one of the best places for a designer to go for inspiration.

Big booty owner here — this objectification is really tiresome. I hate feeling that if I could detach my butt from my body and walk away, a LOT of people wouldn't notice I had left the scene. I suspect the women of generous mammarian endowment feel the same way about that, but I wouldn't know.

Biology, indeed.

In places the bugs can't usually get to on most of us...

Seriously? Who remembers "answer" records that piggybacked on a big hit? The Roxanne franchise went out of control with it back in the day, for one example. This is just an answer record 20-some-odd years late. Yawn.

This lock thing is in at least one popular music video that I can recall, maybe more (can't remember which one though) so that may be one place the trend is spreading from, as that was the first I'd seen of it.

Not only this, but he's in a relationship, which makes him unavailable in my book. So his attention would be unwanted.

I saw that photo above and thought, "just like old times!"

It smells like another iteration of some women's attraction to "bad boys" and "rebels" to me. One of the most extreme I've ever seen, though.

If I like the guy, I accept whatever hair or lack thereof he brings. Within reason. I am partial to fluffy, tufty forearm hair but that's not a dealmaker or -breaker.

This is why I don't automatically rule out any guy who doesn't physically repel me in some way. I sometimes worry that I might miss out on someone who could be good for me because I'm hung up on a look or a type, so I try to keep an open mind to those who don't stand out immediately — the ones who have a funny way of…
