You have a fiance. You are not in the same boat as those of us whose window of opportunity is closing (or closed).

Do you have a partner?

Yeah to check it off their bucket list, not for a serious relationship.

That's because you're married to her. Yeah, men will keep boning the women they married when they were both in their 20's but if she were single the only guys who'd chase after her are as old as her father.

I want some of whatever you're smoking.

Sexism has to do with the targets of bigotry, not the perpetrators (much like racism).

Preach.

You speak the truth. The kicker is that my boss’ “process” for reports like this is a giant invitation for this exact outcome. He constantly tells me we need to be better about documenting all our steps, yada yada yada, but when it comes right down to it he’s just throwing a bunch of numbers at me and communicating…

Oh god; I’m so so sorry to hear this. What a horrible waste. :( I am thinking of you.

On the bright side, fretting about work 24/7 leaves no time to dwell on my heartbreak/non-existent love life. ;-)

Gah, yes:

Thanks Pinky. It’s complicated by the fact that the shit hit the fan the DAY my boss started paternity leave, so he’s extra pissed that he is dealing with this when he’s not supposed to be working. It is hard for me to know how to respond/react because I do feel like I’m walking on eggshells and don’t know what’s…

I’m totally straight and wish I wasn’t because I come across so many women I consider attractive and only find like one in 20 men attractive. Most just aren’t good looking at all.

Please tell me about the time you committed a serious mistake at work and didn’t get fired or have your career derailed. For the first 9 mos. or so at my job I was getting good feedback and increasing responsibilities. My boss seemed impressed and happy with my performance. Then I fucked up on a project in a way…

Translation: “I know nothing about statistics but suspect this might be a good way to discredit the study while sounding ‘smart’.”

It’s cringe-inducing how people think calling the (perfectly legit) sample size into question gives them Scientific Street Cred when really it just reveals how little they know about statistics.

... in fact I’m tempted to ask OP for the guy’s number because he seems like a solid dude.

Exactly. I’m on the “misandrist” end of feminist but I’m also not on board with the echo chamber of sycophants on this site (and others, like Tumblr) and was pretty horrified reading OP’s story. Anyone who responded that he’s an asshole, manipulative, displayed tons of red flags, etc., is out of their minds and should…

I am struggling to see how/where he created drama. You might be projecting, because I think he handled being yanked around pretty well. Your behavior was very hot and cold, and when I put myself in his shoes it doesn’t feel good. It sucks to be a rebound to someone who’s using you to work out their own personal shit…

Agreed. The entire premise of this article is backwards. Most people have very little self-awareness, so the problem is that THEY are wrong about themselves, not that everyone else is.
