Yes. My 60/60 feels like a 90/10 right now. And I’m being generous.

This advice, of course, assumes that the other person will reciprocate and give more / expect less as well, or that there’s already some strong foundation to the relationship. Or at least that the other person is fundamentally good. Otherwise, you would be setting yourself up to be used, and since you’re expecting…

Not a con artist?

Yes! A few years back, a guy contacted me on POF. He disappeared (started dating someone else), then reappeared about a year later. We finally met sometime in November 2013 or so for our first date, which went well, or at least much better than most first dates I’ve been on. On that first date, he asked me if I had…

I used to do this, but you know what I have discovered in this online dating hell? Every Single Time I take initiative and set up plans for the first date, I soon learn that the dude will NEVER reciprocate. If he didn’t have the courage to make the first move, and the grown-up-ness to pick a time and place, he will…

Makes sense, but in my personal experience I’ve never asked a guy to hang out and he was totally stoked about it like he was waiting for it. I would love being able to be direct but my personal success rate for that is 0%. Meanwhile guys ask me out often enough that there’s little incentive.

It’s hilarious that expecting people to put in more than the bare minimum in romantic effort reads as “entitled” to some.

Yeah. Oh, here’s a ring for you to find in this endless sea of grass! That’s the only way you’ll know where I was.

I was coming here to say the same thing. If men are taking out tampons with their teeth before giving oral sex (and trust me...some of them are) then a stick with a CAP ON IT with a tinge of pee is nothing. Knock it off.

Oh honey, holding a stick that has been in close proximity to pee is really the cleanest thing that’s happened to my husband since the moment I got pregnant and had kids. He held my hand during the painful attempts at ending my constipation, got a good look at my insides during the c-sections (“here’s her colon! Check…

All of Cookie Monster’s scenes are nude scenes.

Question, though (from someone who hasn’t read the books, or any books for that matter). Don’t you have to be alive to actually become a White Walker? Otherwise are you just raised from the dead as one of their zombie horde members?

1997, my mom a private pilot, my brother and I flew to a family reunion, from Seattle to Helena MT. We get there to find the entire family reunion had be relocated to a remote cabin. With no way to get there we hung out at my uncles house, and by out I mean outside in the yard until the family reunion returned the…

I’m a consumer rights attorney, and I would teach my theoretical children the same thing!

“...they are all four small-batch artisanal, and reclaimed.”

When a newspaper takes the phrase ”We aggressively pursue justice for victims of police misconduct” as a negative concept, I think we have isolated the root of the problem.

I told them they could watch. What’s the big deal?

Totally. We shouldn’t get pissed when people in high positions of power spew offensive and discriminatory statements. Its not like anyone might look up to them, or take it as acceptable behavior.

I think the most telling thing is a letter that’s 99% all the misery you went through, with no real focus on WHY you’d want to get back together other than “I miss her”. Like... what do you miss? The times spent in sullen silence where neither of you was measuring up to the others’ ideals? Being a caretaker for…
