I hhhhhhhate people reading my first name off my credit card and addressing me with it. HATE IT. If I want you to use my first name, I will introduce myself with it.

Eh, I think there’s something...insulting in pretending there’s no power differential, which in a sense is what refusing honoriffics overall - specifically with children/teenagers - does? Like, a teacher saying “Call me Jim!” sets up a sense that you’re pals, you’re equals, but you’re not and their authority doesn’t…

On the other hand, I get to decide who addresses me by my first name.

Disagree. I think parents insisting that children call them by their first names, despite knowing that’s not really the prevailing cultural climate, come off more creepy in their attempts to erode social boundaries between them and children who are, by definition, subordinate to them. First names are for peers and…

You are going hard in the paint, aren’t you?

THOSE are the people in question? She’s cute! He’s perfectly fine, but he’s no Adonis. They seem fairly well-matched in terms of attractiveness level to me.

In addition to the many distressing things about your story, I’d say the fact that he’s putting pressure on you to be willing to “work on” your body, without any indication that he’s going to “work on” his expectations, is the biggest indicator of shitty emotional manipulation on his part.

You’re so tedious.

...I hope the brisket thing isn’t a euphemism.

Of course you can’t. This is not surprising.

Cool. Don’t care. Bye.

And yet, you ARE justifying how he acted by vilifying her. Funny how that works! It’s almost like you’re being disingenuous!

Lol fuck off.

He was entirely capable of maintaining his privacy. All he had to do was not behavior inappropriately (which he full well knew he was doing, by his own words) in the first place.

Eh, I would say more that they DO understand the difference and only pretend they don’t when called on it.

Plus it’s a nice double-deke - claim that there’s no eroticization of her picture, then immediately put things in the context of dudes propositioning/fucking her.

Well you know what happens when women support each other. Can’t let THAT happen, why, next you’ll suggest giving them the vote!

No thanks.
