But I don't expect everyone else to make concessions for my personal choices.

Thanks, Joachim. I spend too much time on Jezebel. My current excuse is that it is summer vacation.

I think Beyonce's pixie cut is gorgeous.

You beat me to it.

I wonder if, "Sorry, I'm just not attracted to you" isn't the best way to get a guy to drop it and move on. And if he then asks, "But why?" you could respond, "Because you're the kind of guy who, when a woman tells him she's not attracted to him, asks 'But why?'"

I was about to click the star to recommend this article, but then I got to "pee-shies." My heart is now cold and hard to you, Ms. Beck.

Absolutely. My Japanese wife and I were married in Japan this year, so this nonsense about it being okay to give items but not okay to give money never came up. If you love your friends/family, you should be happy to help them defray the costs of hitching up. The idea that that is somehow cold or tacky is just plain…

Only the child can state with authority whether a particular parent was "good" or "bad," and probably only at the end of that child's life. In other words, the parent will never know for sure. We just do the best we can—except for those of us who really don't do the best we can, and practically everyone who comes in…

Right!? These things are a scream. Literally. My wife can have endless orgasms with ours, but we have to close all the windows and doors, not because our device is loud but because my wife is. Ours has variable intensity, but I rarely have to turn it all the way up. It has the goofy name "Fairy Massager," and we got…

The list of recommendations at the end had me laughing out loud.

I loved this and was not expecting to see so many negative comments, even if we don't count misogynist troll-boy blooger (who clearly has too much time on his hands—Can't find a job or a girlfriend?). Most of the negative comments seem to result from people either over-thinking or under-thinking. I honestly don't see…

Folks, I suggest not feeding the troll. Just click on blooger3214's name and look at some of his posts. Here's here to troll and not to contribute to a substantive conversation.

I only ever played this game in the original Japanese, so it's weird to see the dialogue in English. I used to vaguely wonder if this game would work for English speakers, but apparently it does. Since I played on my old DS, I couldn't take screen grabs and literally had to photograph the screen when I wanted to…

I live in Japan, and I met my wife on Match.com. We met last year and married this year. It's a match made in heaven. But we both met a lot people who ranged from "nice" to "potential axe-murderer" before we found each other. That's just the nature of these sites. But Laura's advice is spot on. Honesty is really the…

This essay highlights all the difficulties and contradictions a man faces when he tries to look good. Because, unlike a woman, a man is not supposed to look like he's trying to look good. If you're reasonably fit (my euphemism for not having a big gut), don't have major skin problems, and have bathed (washed your…

It was still pretty popular when I was a teenager back in the 80s.

Recommended for your use of "boss," which is kind of boss.

As soon as I started reading this, I messaged my wife and asked her if she had ever faked (while acknowledging that if she had, she wouldn't likely tell me). She said she never had, and I have no reason to doubt her, since maybe one time in seven she just can't come and she has never had a problem telling me so. (Same…

I don't see what that has to do with the topic of faking orgasms. You're right, of course, but that's a separate issue, isn't it?

Insert angrily worded opinion here, the passion of which is way out of proportion to the topic. Grr!
