The olds were what drove me out of online dating, too. I'm not really sure what they're thinking, but when someone states an age range and it doesn't include you (especially if it doesn't include you by decades) they've already said they're not interested. You needn't bother. You're wasting their time and yours. I'm…

Huh. I've heard people from the UK say the exact opposite - that it's generally warm in April and that part is supposed to be discordant as well.

The clocks bit still works, but that one's always been a bit of a head-scratcher for people who live in climates were April is usually bright and cold.

They do, all the time.

This is why I just played with the female GI-Joes and female figures in the regular Lego sets. This would not have appealed to me at all as a tomboyish little girl and future scientist, so I have no idea who their target audience is here. If your kid really wants a skinny blonde doll with a giant head and perfect…

bear in mind that a cycle with frozen eggs has less chances than a cycle with fresh eggs

Actually, the reason egg freezing is done in the first place is that at 40, "on ice" eggs from your 30s have a greater success rate than those taken for IVF at that age. If that wasn't the case, no one would be doing this - they'd just have "fresh" cycles at an advanced age. What you're insinuating here is exactly the…

Oh god this was me. I was flatter than a board and absolutely looked my age otherwise by I was 5'8" by that age and people just straight up refused to give me children's discounts or allow me into children's things because clearly I/my parents were just lying to save money. At times adults would talk to me about…

I had no idea why he bothered to mention the age of his accuser... until I realized he was nearly 50. Yeah it's probably some condescension and humble-bragging.

Yes, because I said my experiences were indicative of the average.

I agree. The thing I dislike about articles like these is that they talk about womens' experiences as if they were universal. I brush my teeth, comb my hair, throw on clothing that doesn't need to be ironed, and I'm out the door. It doesn't take me any longer to get ready than it does my husband - longer for him,…

That's weird. I thought back in the heyday of the Space Race we mostly sent single gender teams. Was it cat-fighting that doomed the Apollo 13 mission? I thought it was faulty oxygen tanks. Huh.

Nope. I've found that anything over 6'2" or so gets way, way too awkward and neck-strain-tastic. It's actively off-putting. Mister Cat is the same height I am.

I was about to say, that looks like a friend of mine at around eight months with twins.

I'm a 32-year-old married woman and my experience matches yours. It's my parents' generation (and maaaaybe Gen X) who are like this. My dad pulled the whole never lift a finger around the house even though my mom worked full time thing. My husband, on the other hand - in his 20s - is wonderful about it. He loves to…

I agree, honestly. Once would have been fine, but now that we know it's never actually going to happen it's lost all impact, and begs the question of whether or not the writer has any other ideas to create tension or put her heroine in danger, really.

any woman who wished to terminate her pregnancy because her health was at risk would have to "find two doctors unaffiliated with her abortion-provider who are willing to swear the fetus poses a threat to the mother's health" and endure a week-long waiting period to reflect upon whether abortion was truly the right…

You and my (seven years younger) husband.

Yep, same with mine. There was a vote a few years back on whether or not to allow them (fraternities or sororities) and I was appalled, but the student body rejected them almost unanimously, which made me proud. In their place we had active (insert department here) student unions, which had their own parties and pub…

That's incredible, but his West Coast is a little jacked up. It looks like he forgot about Vancouver Island - one of the biggest in the world - entirely, whereas he put smaller islands of Japan and New Zealand in there, and there's no Juan de Fuca strait down to Seattle. No Haida Gwaii either.
