Hah! I use the same name for every single website in the world except this one, because I am way too honest for any people I know IRL to link me to this.

She’s definitely a doctor. She references her job/med school/her wealth of medical knowledge on the reg.

Survivor here. When I was in the throes of PTSD this sort of thing probably would have been triggering for me, and I would have made serious efforts to avoid it for that reason. There’s a certain degree of stimulus generalization that occurs and can cause all dicks, especially those forced upon me in some way (which…

Fellow non-faker here. I will admit it’s about 80% because lying about something like that is a terrible idea and really can’t lead to any sort of sexual satisfaction in the long run, and 20% because I’m not terribly confident in my acting abilities. I sort of lose control of myself during orgasms, and I’m not sure I…

Love Purity Ring, I downloaded Glass Animals the other day but haven’t gotten around to listening to them yet, and I’m currently downloading the rest of your suggestions. I’m so excited to create the ultimate chill playlist!

Yessss thank you!! If you think of any more, by all means don’t stop. It’s impossible to offer too many awesome music recs.

I just went on a downloading spree a few days ago and Phantogram was among the bands I now have, but have yet to listen to. Will definitely check them out along with the xx. Metric has been a perennial favorite of mine, and your inclusion bolsters my confidence that you know what’s up music wise :)

I’ve yet to listen to any of those except St. Vincent and am very excited to do so. Light make-out music is my favorite kind of music. I listen to it while walking around and it makes me feel like a sexy badass.

alt-j is my absolute obsession at the moment. I haven’t listened to PHOX, but will do so immediately if they’re anything like alt-j or sylvan esso.

SO MUCH. Any suggestions regarding similar artists? I want more, but they just have the one album.

As a male figure in her life, you can have a lot of influence in helping her figure out where her worth should come from in the eyes of men. Make a point to talk about all the things you value about her that aren’t related to her appearance, and go out of your way to comment on positive non-appearance things about…

They didn’t even try to make it seem like she’s playing that guitar.

This isn’t factitious disorder because there was a plainly apparent gain associated with her behavior—this is straight up malingering. I wonder if she could be charged with anything had someone followed her advice and ended up dying of cancer.

You were raped. You absolutely did not consent to that. Lack of physical resistance is not consent. Lack of a clear “no” is not consent. Consent is an affirmative statement, which you did not offer. The word for what happened to you is rape.

Mutual liking is the absolute best feeling. So happy you were one of the ones who survived the internet dating nonsense long enough to find someone good :)

You described my exact pattern of pre-studying behaviors. I currently have $200 worth of clothing I’ll never buy sitting in my ModCloth cart, a lot of snack crumbs all over me, and a solid 12 hours of work that needs to be finished by Monday that I have not yet started.

My friends make their kids choose some of the gifts they receive and donate those to charity. The kids are totally on board with it and will say stuff like “I already have something like that, so I think I’ll give that to someone who doesn’t.”

So they opted instead to dress her up as “sexy” (quotes for how narrow a definition of sexy she fits into) and limit her contributions to giggling. GREAT. I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this kind of shit anymore, I guess I just manage to convince myself that we’re moving away from this idea of women as useless…

Aww you’re so sweet. I think after years of resistance, you’ve officially brought me around to being pleased by the comparison. The reaction gif totally did it :)

I just commented on this upthread. Her role seems to be entirely ornamental and it’s gross.
