Simon and Alisha. :(

This is the saddest story.

Screw you, fascist state! I'm naming my baby Gas Station and Stoplight McGee.

Welp, I'm friends with quite a few Bay Area and NYC women, most who didn't manage to find partners (and were actively looking) until they were well into their 30's, and I wouldn't call a single one of them batshit insane.

This so much. I'm a transplant. Moved here six years ago when I was 24 and I live in Oakland.

Ellen Page, I already felt all the <3 for you. Now I can't deal.

Welp. Then again, there's rape.

I know that you didn't mean to be a Nice Guy and meant instead to be a genuinely nice guy, but when a woman tells you to get lost, something which is very difficult for women to do because they have been socialized to be nice at accommodating at all costs, and you say, "you're a bitch," well...

Nope. Ask anyone who has been street harassed. It's like 2.5 seconds between "hey let me lick that p****" to "You stupid c*** I'll f****** kill you!"

Spot on. This this this. I'm old and boring now, but this was awful in my early/mid twenties. So, let's break it down. Why not just say "sorry, I'm not interested"?

Everyone go home! The internet has already been won for today.

You know what? Grammar changes. We used to say thine and we don't anymore. Now we say they as a singular non-gendered pronoun. It happens.

There is a book about a woman reading a book? I feel like an article would really suffice.

Pretty sure that's a myth made up by Europeans who don't like the idea that modern day Egyptians could be descended from Ancient Egyptians because it makes much more sense for Ancient Egyptians —-> Modern Europeans.

Well, I have to admit that the flogger is pretty nice.

Um, the (anal beads?) kind of look like rubbery poop. So much would rather eat the Westeros cake.

I KNOW! He got so hot! Dohring never did it for me, sorry. (I know!)

Yup.

Start by doing something that doesn't seem productive, like walking places. On my days off, I have "adventures" where I plot out a pretty walking route that leads to a coffee shop/park/whatever on gmap-pedometer. Then I do it. Crossfitters would say taking a walk is a waste of time. Fuck them.

She's 23. When I was 23, I briefly dated a guy who slept with Dharma Bums under his pillow. He was 26.
