Bra-fucking-vo! Spot on! Her take reminds me of the people who take enjoyment from others by denigrating something that they no longer think is “cool”. The sports writer (though his best columns actually aren’t about sports) Joe Posnanski wrote about the time his daughters were watching a parade at Disney World, and…

People like that are actually incapable of being loving partners. They feel that they are inherently better than you. They seek to control & demean to make them feel better about themselves. It’s a warning sign. Stay away from them. 

Yes, making fun is one thing but why the need to make you feel bad about liking an artist, writer, show, movie, etc.

I’m sorry the person you were when you were younger embarrasses you so much now, but that does not make this album bad, it makes your perspective shallow.

This is why they are now exes. Everyone should be allowed to have whatever dumb likes & hobbies they want to. It’s one thing to lovingly poke fun at a partners interest for which you simply cannot comprehend the appeal. It’s something else entirely to be demeaning to the point of shame.

My stupid ex did the same to me, even reading now makes me feel stupid.

That last ep of season 3, too, where they told dad-to-be that his girlfriend gets a pass on cleaning the house because she’s 9 months pregnant but why the hell is he not doing the dishes?!

This is very true.

Hah YES that’s the one where Bobby made him finish his half-done projects AND sassed him for showing up late 

I partner with a local gay bar to host a Girl Scout cookies and cocktail event to benefit my daughter’s troop. This is the fifth year we’ve done it, and this movie is on rotation for the ENTIRE day until the crowd shifts at 8 p.m. and they go back to watching old workout videos from the 70s and 90s pop classics. All…

I honestly think that Karamo’s title of “culture” is silly-sounding, but (as other threads are pointing out) his actual education in social work, while necessary AF and exactly what he does, is too stigmatized to be presented in a straightforward manner.

I have so many questions now that stem from 'revolt at Girl Scout summer camp.'

Absolutely. Also, the concept of self-care gets a bad reputation for some reason. It’s not all touchy-feely (or it’s not supposed to be). It’s caring for oneself, obviously, and all that entails. Sometimes it means taking a day to relax, watch a good movie, take a hot bath, and put on comfy clothes. Sometimes it means…

I went to Girl Scout camp every summer for a number of years. I remember a revolt that ended in us watching Troop Beverly Hills two extra nights. I loved this movie.

Neel is a totally underrated episode. He had internalized the idea that emotion/domestic chores/grooming wasn’t “manly” and ended up completely depressed and isolated. The Fab 5 did a great job gently luring him out of his hole while still holding him accountable (isn’t that the one where Bobby made him do all the…

First of all, LOVE your username. Also, kudos for reading through my lengthy and type-o ridden post and understanding what I was trying to communicate, haha. I completely agree with what you’re saying, specially this, “Very, very few people are unselfish to the degree that when sunk into such states of depression they…

this this this

I read that Karamo really wants his title changed on the show, because he is a licensed therapist! I think it is a bit disrespectful to not highlight his training. 

I personally think if the Fab 5 just focused on telling them to execute the basic responsibilities of just being an average accountable adult, that some of the men they were helping would still not grasp it. I find it is was more effective of them to use the “Self Care” angle to introduce concepts like that to…

To be fair, they did a number on Neel when he said that it felt weird to express joy - like it was a non-manly thing to do. I agree that it’s more subtle than maybe some viewers would like, but they’re not ignoring these things, they just focus more on mindset and emotional subjects because they’re better TV. No one…
