Although I think it’s awfully funny how people here act like Gwen is bell hooks and Gavin is Susan Sontag or something and that Blake is such a step down. They’re all a bunch of music stars, they probably talk about their money and their careers and their famous friends.

This is why I wanted to die young, so I wouldn’t live to see crap like this.

Yep, you’re wrong...assuming the conversion was completed before the baby was born (I have no idea of the timeline here). But, as someone who went thru the process, I was assured that future kids would be Jewish. Of course, I went thru a Reform conversion. Lots of folks don’t think they’re “real” Jews anyway, so...

Yep! This is Ashley’s dress made out of polaroids. This is Edmond’s dress:

I think I actually meant someone with this severe of a case and I should have clarified that as I have a friend that had a head trauma, so I know that wearing a diaper because of medical reasons doesn’t preclude people from loving them or wanting to have an intimate relationship with them. My apologies. I’m still not…

I had to stop reading to say “first generation Fat-Lesbian” and “fleeing from the Fucks Famine 2015” just made my day.

My sides reached orbit at “first generation Fat-Lesbian”. I only hope that one day, I too will be able to find someone who will stare down assholes while I dance to songs from the 70s.

“...tirade about how the coffee was SHIT and full of WATER and he needs a strong drink for his son to be a strong man...”

Holly’s entire rendition of that crazy story was hilarious but this

Although that is aa starting good point, people *do* change. You have to remember that as well. In fact, a person who seems unwilling to make concessions or change is probably the biggest warning flag of all.

Yup, never w/anyone else. Already can see the implications. He doesn’t put back stuff where he found it in my house. Like the bathmat or leaving soap uncapped. If this were to get serious, I’d need him to live solo - which he said he wants/wanted way before me. Management is exactly right. I’m extra sensitive cause my…

The “never lived on his own” (which I assume means never living with roommates/significant others either, right?) worries me more than the living with family now part. It’s not necessarily an indicator of any negative traits, but there are things you might not get around to learning about how to manage your own life…

He’s actually also 32 (I’m a little older), and a 1st generation American. He went to school and stayed at home, and I think this was both cultural/practical and probably very smart economically. I guess I knew by the time I went to college come hell or high water I couldn’t live at home again, and I think I’ve not…

In and of itself, I don’t think this is a problem. Kinda nice actually, they’re all close and help each other out is how it sounds.

Thanks for this perspective. I think my Americaness looks at family as something to get away from asap, regardless of debt, lol. But, this was helpful - he is first generation American.

So you think this woman managed to fake CP in her child? How??

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

It’s likely that women are more able to articulate their deal-breakers. And that sometimes men’s dealbreakers are such that they are not going to admit them to a survey-taker: extreme youth, beauty and so on.

I thought smoking was one of my deal breakers, and then I met a man I just had to have, even though I knew he smoked. We dated for a few months and it didn't bother me at all. I realized that at this point in my life, I let chemistry and enjoyment guide me more than conscious rational choice, and I’m ok with that —…
