I think this changes as you get older. You and your partner probably know yourselves and what you want much better, and that makes it easier to pull the trigger (or not, if you're part of the anti-cohabitation crowd). My girlfriend and I moved in together after 6 months, but I just turned 37. When I was 23 I would…

It's just horrible. Generations of women fought and pushed for equality, and then you see images like this of brainwashed kids and it all feels like it can be made to disappear overnight.

Or really, take most of it and put it in stable investments where you can live on a portion of the interest. Don't get clever. We're talking about serious cash here, so that should be more that enough to live very, very comfortably indefinitely.

Dan Savage made an interesting point on his podcast this week. We now live in a world where even anti-gay bigots usually temper their rhetoric by claiming to have gay friends.

Yeah, crazy bloggers believing that using math to quantify values could be useful. What a bunch of kooks! Why don't they just use their gut feelings and personal biases?!?

The problem with proposing on VD is that it means you're the kind of person who thinks VD is romantic, which in turn means someone is going to get stuck with a lifetime of well-meaning but clumsy "romantic" gestures.

I had this exact scenario with my girlfriend's dad last July 4th weekend. We were visiting his place upstate and everyone thought it was just so logical that the two of us should play golf up there. I had met him exactly twice before. I hadn't really played much so far that season. I was nervous.

Did this start as a submission to Ask A Clean Person?

Fair enough. I actually had a brain fart and inserted that song into the Top Gun scene. It was fairly seamless, evidently!

Heath Ledger? Good God, I'm old.

Buying a ticket to a Bill Cosby show is a really good way to let everyone else know that they should stop talking to you immediately. Pay attention, misanthropes!

You're such an amateur. There's no reason to tie up a body if you're just gonna dump it in a ravine!
