Jeez, calm down, Martha Stewart.

But, like, what if what she really wants is that exact slice of pizza, post-blotting? The sort of cheap slice that generally gets that treatment isn’t typically served by someone who really gives a fuck, so I don’t see what harm it does.

Why do Travolta’s eyebrows look like they were painted on by a vampire makeup artist who learned what human faces look like by watching the count on Sesame Street?

Yes, that is obviously just a heavily candy-coated way of saying “you are way too fucking old for me” to someone in a position of power over you.

Because we are not gonna get any younger...

“Cardinals are red,

OH man, she said if I could only harness the powers of space and time, she’d be way into it! She wants me so bad.

Stop sending ambiguous signals like being nice. It’s cruel to lead men on. But also don’t be mean, because then you’re a bitch and deserve what you get. Note that “being mean” includes remaining emotionally neutral, you frigid slut.

Usually, when a woman says “if you were younger...” it is an attempt to flatter an older man while at the same time saying loud and clear that he is *far* too old for her to consider dating.

Jenkins, through her lawyer, said she said that statement as “an attempt at humor” to politely get Swem off her back. She regrets she ever uttered those words.

Gould nails it at the end. I don’t necessarily want people to stop asking women these questions - we all recognize that we’re interested in the answers - I want them to START asking the men the same questions. If we want a more equal society in which men take a greater role in partnering and parenting, this kind of…

Why would anyone ask ANY of those questions? "Do all of your kids have the same father?"... who gives a shit? This ain't Maury Povich. JFC man!

I think if my friend had responded with a probably and fudgsicle luck I’d laugh, because she was giving exactly the kind of thought that question deserved....none.

Slut (is a meaningless social construct)!

This is why you should never ask an honest person if your clothes make your ass look huge.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to say ‘probably’ in that particular instance without it being considered ‘slut shaming’. You’re answering a hypothetical question with an equally hypothetical answer. America is puritanical, if you have openly appreciated sex or appear to date ‘more than most’ many people might…

Right—the proper reply however would be more of a “yes, but is it really a bad thing?”

Stop now! You’re asking too much!

The question was “What do THEY think?” rather than “What do YOU think?” And I actually think “probably” was an astute observation, though not a tactful response. Also, is it just me or does it seem like if someone is concerned with whether or not a group of people (not just one person, but an entire group) thinks…

exactly. Similar thing happened last week at work. My co worker said “do you think I’m loud?” (As in, when she talks on the phone). I said “yea a little bit.” Then she said, “oh well, I guess that’s just the way it is.” Like, why even ask?
