I do think there’s something to this notion of “teaching” kids about homosexuality. In the past, a lot of kids just felt like they didn’t fit somehow and it took a long time for them to get it sorted out. Now, they can look around and say “that’s the word for the thing I am experiencing and it’s something that other…

I don’t know about you but my first crush was around 5 or 6? Of course I didn’t fully understand the implications of attraction at that age, but I knew that some friends felt “special”.

And smart women are often dismissed and discredited as simply “manipulative”.

Do you think part of your opinion might be based on a restrictive definition of “smart” that doesn’t account for the savvy use of modern technology and the influence of social media?

I am also sure that she’s much smarter than the character she plays on TV. No one builds that kind of an empire by accident.

I dunno, dude. I’m pretty sure a grown man on a skateboard ranks pretty high on the list of “unfuckables” for many women. Nothing wrong with the skateboard itself but I haven’t yet found one that doesn’t also come with a roommate, a dirty bathroom, and wants me to come see his band play a show this weekend.

I want to give her the benefit of the doubt here: I think she’s not a dick, just a total fucking coward.

I just have to believe that Nick is one of those awful guys who has some unexplainable physical magnetism in person? Like every part of you knows that he’s terrible but for some reason, you still want to fuck him. Who hasn’t been there at least once?

You don’t have to tell your mom! The most that she might find out is that you’re being treated for pain but that doesn’t mean that you have to tell her that it’s sex-related.

In my opinion, sex (in all it’s forms) is really important in a romantic partnership. If he needs penetrative sex and you aren’t comfortable with that, it’s a fundamental incompatibility.

My mom was pregnant with me at 19 and her parents told her that if she decided to go forward with having the baby, she would be on her own financially. And that’s what she (and we did). It was incredibly difficult and when I found this out (from my grandmother), a lot of my mom’s issues made sense to me. Would you…

I learned early that sometimes the people who are supposed to take care of you will leave you. That’s not a complex, that’s a fact.

This drives me crazy - people ‘stating the obvious’ as if we aren’t bombarded with this messaging nearly every moment of life. Do you really think that telling me that I should be skinner or show more cleavage or wear sexier shoes is news? “Wait, what? You’re telling me that big boobs and perfect grooming are…

(Upon reflection though, I should have seen it when I went to Chicago to meet his family. I told him the only thing I wanted to do while I was there was eat deep dish pizza. He took me to A MALL to eat pizza in a FOOD COURT. You gotta be aggressively lazy to fuck up pizza. This is, by far, his worst offense.)

I don’t know anything about you or your partner (obviously) but I realized that my man just wasn’t just not compatible with me but that he’s probably not suited to be in a relationship with anyone. At least, not until he figures this stuff out. But that fucker is 40 and still refuses to send his mom a mothers’ day…

My last relationship ended because my partner couldn’t do any of these things - and they’re important to me. But I never doubted that he loved me, just that he had a lot of issues with intimacy and was overall pretty immature. And it ultimately wasn’t enough for me. But it’s so much more complex than “he’s taking…

I dunno, I just don’t think things are so black-and-white. People do all kinds of selfish and lazy things - even when people tell them that it’s hurtful - because they’re selfish and lazy. Not because they don’t care about people.

I’m saying that some people never do this stuff. Plenty of people are just lazy. They don’t buy baseball tickets for their friends. They don’t send flowers to their moms. They don’t offer to pick up coffee for their busy coworker. It’s shitty and will have bad consequences for the relationship - but that doesn’t mean…

Brutal, dude. You think maybe you’re projecting a little?

It’s not my taste either, but they’re not hacks. They’re decent musicians who write their own songs. I don’t use my own preferences as a measure of whether or not someone is talented.
