Nothing too crazy, but I did buy a mountain bike, because a boy I liked was into mountain biking. And then I had to actually go mountain biking, which was scary, but also fun. When the boy and I broke up, I sold the bike, but to a girl I knew, and I would see her riding that bike around having all kinds of fun with…

It's cool. I, too, lead a boring life. We can go pick out beige housewares together.

God, I was just going to say this. Reverse genders and have a man treating a woman like a kid and see what happens. This is awful. I cannot dress myself (I admit it). I essentially Louis CK in a woman's body. I wear black and denim ALL THE TIME. It's all I got. That's what I do, baby. It's who I am. I'm at the…

As the resident Paul Bunyan in many of my relationships, please don't do that. It's pretty condescending and infantilizing. I'm on to people who do it, and it makes me feel manipulated, and honestly, rather angry.

Does she get her hats from the Alexis Carrington-Colby collection??

I wasn't there, but my mother told me about a prank my uncles played on her and my dad during their wedding. They went to their appartment during the reception and sort of messed it up, but in a sweet way... Balloons, confetti, that kind of stuff. It was all pretty innocent but when my dad saw it he just freaked out…

I had a very similar situation with a girl and it got really ugly really fast when i wanted to end the relationship. (her dog attacked me and my dog while we were asleep requiring hospital visits for both of us and she was pissed i would go in her apt where her dog was) hopefully this girl just burns out soon, but i…

My boyfriend claims I'm weird because I claim I want a penis for a day (but just a day, or maybe a week, I'm a fan of my parts for the long term) just so I can know what a boner and other penis things feel like.

I am pretty sure I am stuck in the greys, so maybe no one will even see this, but I'm having dude problems. I spent a lot of time getting over someone I really, really liked. I finally moved on and found a new guy. Old guy chose the exact day of my first date with new guy to text me and say he missed me. I know I…

One of the ways I found to get followers was to socialize frequently and politely with the regular posters, follow them, and once they got familiar with you and started liking your posts, they'd follow back out of politeness.

This one wins for me :-D

You helped me out today and I thank you. This guy is a complete inspiration.

I love that guy! I read that article when it was first published and I want to give him a huge hug. Not only is he helping women with their critical hygiene needs, he's also creating jobs within his community. He rocks.

It truly is, especially when women make up half or more of the world population. These ignoramuses are too stupid and uneducated to know the ramifications for women who lack menstrual supplies.

Thank you for sharing that story, that man is INCREDIBLE! Determined to help women and girls, and won't take "no" for an answer! Best thing I've read in ages, thanks!

Fellow lucky 1 in 100,000 here: I had a pulmonary embolism on a low-dose combination contraceptive (Mircette), with no genetic or autoimmune conditions predisposing me to a clot. Has anyone ever suggested the mini-pill (Ortho Micronor) for you? My OBGYN told me that despite what the packaging inserts say, the research…

what's the big deal?

This didn't happen to me, so call it apocryphal if you must, but it's still a great story I heard from a friend.

A few years ago, in my free-wheeling salad days, I spent a few months backpacking through China before travelling down into northern Pakistan to teach English for six months. It was such a great adventure. I spoke about ten words of Mandarin, but man, I had fun. I especially loved Xinjiang, in the far west of China,…
