Hilarious, of course. And exactly the stages I went through as well!!

Exactly. We keep crowbars and baseball bats in case of the zombie apocalypse, not firearms, thankyouverymuch.

I've found most people to be very polite when they ask me. I'm half Armenian and the other half is various mixed European ancestry, so I look dark and "exotic" but half white. Most of the people who ask me are Armenian themselves, or Turkish or Lebanese or another similar-looking ancestry themselves, and they're…

AGREED. My boyfriend thinks he's gross, and I disagree whole-heartedly.

I guess I took that as a negative comment, or a sad one. I think of "thin" as a positive descriptor, and "skinny" as a negative one. I hear it as sort of an "oh, honey" statement.

AMEN. I think she looks healthy. Besides, even if she didn't...say she was overweight to the point of looking unhealthy. Shouldn't the response be concern? Like "oh no, poor Lady Gaga doesn't look so healthy, you think maybe she's sick or depressed or something?" This whole "omg looks like 5-7 more pounds MAYBE on…

Just goes to show you...different people, different paths. I'm 22 and I've been married and divorced already, and that tends to shock people. But everyone does different things at different ages.

Yeah, I'm feeling the same thing. I was actually wondering if I was missing something. He just seems maybe a little awkward to me in the way he expresses himself. And it seems like his point is more that the Hobbit movie is selling out than it is that it's gone bad or something. I was just like that girl in high…

I definitely pictured the same thing. It always meant so much to me when my parents took my middle-school turmoils seriously...if they'd been the president and his wife, I imagine it would have meant even more!

Sweden, Finland...both pretty cool. I'd go with y'all.

Dude this would be PERFECT. Hader would be good too, but Matthew Morrison LOOKS so much like him too!!

My boyfriend is in the Navy, and on top of medical benefits there are a million other benefits we've considered getting married for. We've been together only a few months and have no other reason to make our relationship a legal bond, but the draw of healthcare and housing and move assistance to wherever he's…

Better than in your mouth. Yuck.

Now THIS is fascinating to me. I've actually done a fair amount of research on this topic since my brother got engaged to a distant cousin and the whole family freaked the fuck out. I've noticed it's SUCH a taboo subject that people will rarely even brave discussing it on internet forums. Which, as we all know,…

Wow...everyone got really upset about this, and for a bunch of different reasons. Reading through the comments it looks to me like you all have very good points, and like you all ARE intelligent feminists. You're thinking, you're questioning...and that's what feminism means.

Well obviously anything that would be creepy coming from a dirty old man in the park MUST be evil.

"It's a dangerous time to be a hymen." Best thing I've heard all day.

My family is Armenian Orthodox, and I'm pretty sure the crosses they all wear are just that—crosses, not crucifixes.

I had a nice, quiet evening in with a gentleman friend. We cooked a delicious dinner, watched Dogma, and cuddled all night. Then we took the same bus into town in the stillness of the early morning, he to his home and I to work.

This was so horrible, I laughed.
