There are plenty of men who would do that here in the States if they thought they could get away with it. No American exceptionalism, please. It’s extremely dangerous and keeps our problems going.

Right there with you, girl. I was in a relationship for 6 years, we lived together everything. I was looking at wedding bands and shit. One day he told me he never loved me. I haven’t dated since. This was 3 years ago. I often feel that I missed my chance and now I'm looking through the window at the action from the…

Hey, all. Feeling a little down tonight. I turned 35 this year and my last relationship (long-distance) ended at the beginning of the year. I still have feelings for my ex and I haven’t had any interest in dating someone else. This is probably compounded by living in a rural area, since most people my age are married…

I’m going to ask you to go back and read over your post. You’ve told me that my dating pool is men in their late 30s, just assuming that men can get away with rejecting women who are the same age or a couple years older. If we’re going to make women sit down and do the hard work of deconstructing their biases against…

Are we actually going to start asking men to start questioning their preferences? Because from what I can tell, most of the pressure to do this is put on feminist-leaning women. So far, I’ve been told that it’s not reasonable for me to want a guy who has a job or a college degree or who doesn’t live with his parents,…

Nobody deserves to have to be someone’s reason to get better. To keep having to endure the sh1tstorm because they need the hope of you to keep working on their issues. From my 6 year hell experience with an emotionally abusive alcoholic where I kept trying to be there for him and give him a reason to work on it…

If you want fun reading other peoples’ trainwreck stories, go to the deadbeadrooms subreddit. It’s full of people with horribly mismatched libidos to their partners, talking about how “the relationship is perfect but the lack of sex is destroying everything I love about myself” and then people trying to make them…

No actual advice, but I totally understand the hot pizza guy situation.

Kitten gifs please! Today, my sweet, old doggie lost her battle with cancer. She’s been my constant companion for thirteen years. We went through college, my first job, moving across the country (twice), and getting married. She’s been with me every step of the way, and I already miss her so much.

My baby sister had preeclampsia and delivered a micro premie 11 weeks early and is still in the hospital.

Oh my God I want to hug you. I am an actual ugly person, and constantly getting hit with this sort of double-edged sword is freaking *exhausting.* I have to face the fact that I live as an ugly person in a society that values physical beauty every day, but having any kind of discussion about it makes me shallow, vain,…

I think my comment is hella far down and probably in gray (I can’t find it) but thank you for your comments. I don’t know where the rest of the rah-rah Jezebels live, but in my city most of my male contemporaries have a veiled or even outright “no fatties” clause in their internet dating profile, are “disgusted by fat…

The more you respond, the more I want to change my original comment. He sounds like a completely selfish asshole who uses his ex-wife as leverage for his lack of owning his shit. I am not getting a good feeling about this guy at all.

I’m almost 33 and I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about my future lifestyle. I’m still single, which is okay, but I do hope to meet someone within the next couple of years. I really love the idea of building a life with someone but I’m trying to remind myself that it might not happen for me anytime soon, so…

How men understand bra sizes

Kinda fascinated by a guy who says that his last relationship ended because of “too much drama” and proceeds to get economically and emotionally attached to a cam girl. Hmm.

I’m not married either, I was once, when I was very young. I never felt the need again after that fiasco. I do not know how people stay together, and how women put up with having to take care of a husband who act like they’re a three year old.

Break it off or be miserable till the divorce.

From the replies your comment received you would think we are living in a world where female rape victims receive no scrutiny, criticism, or harassment when reporting their rape, the vast majority of reported rapes are false accusations, and nearly all reports of rapes result in a conviction of the accused.

This just reinforces the idea that men cannot control themselves when it comes to sex and that fathers have some sort of ownership over their daughters’ sexuality and have a duty to protect their virtue. I know every parent wants to protect their kid(s) from bad things happening to them, but the whole “cleaning the…
