I know, it's bad for both sides. I didn't mean to sound like boys don't get emotional over break-ups but we sort of expect girls to almost fall apart over it and we expect boys to tough it out and "man up". Both can be toxic. Which is yet another reason why those gender roles hurt both sides. :(

I disagree somewhat. Sometimes, when you "are there for the person" while they are still in the toxic relationship you enable them to stay put. So, depending on the context, it might be best to take a step back, explain why you are doing it and make it absolutely clear that you will be there for them when they decide…

But how much of that is due to hormones and how much of it is due to the messages we send out as a society? Boys get super hormonal during puberty too but we don't expect them to get weepy and suicidal when their teenage relationships fall apart. (Which can be problematic in its own way too but yeah...) But girls see…

To see how clean it looks before you enter it? It's the only thing I can think of.

It's past 9 pm where I am. Drink away.

If you are 5ft tall, weigh 250 pounds and live a sedantary lifestyle, the chances are very high that your fat percentage is above that of a 5ft tall person who weighs 175 pounds and leads a similar life. (I am not very familiar with pound or foot measurements so my apologies if those are impossible numbers.)

Weight is easily measurable at home and is a good, if rough, indicator of body fat percentage when the person doing the evaluation knows their activity level. Yes, muscle weighs more and if you are very muscular a high body weight is probably totally okay but if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, have no well-build…

You aren't poor unless you have to sell your bootstraps. And then you deserve to be poor anyway.

I just don't think they actually wonder about the international appeal, they don't need to. W-inds is relatively successful (or has been, like you I haven't really paid much attention to the whole scene in years) in SEA as a whole but their revenue is much much smaller than Arashi's or SMAP's. Their insularity is a…

I once had a talk with a guy about travelling alone as a woman and I let him in on a secret, that I always had a lie ready if someone asked me what I was doing in x place alone etc. (It usually involves mentioning my group of friends being super close and an agreed meeting point/time for later to announce even in a…

And k-drama kisses are usually much hotter than j-drama kisses. It's still weird to me to see a one minute close-up of a perfectly stiff woman waiting - with her eyes open! - for the guy to stop pressing his - closed! - lips to her face. But I sooo get you on the hugs. And mannered courtship. And piggy-back rides.

Try Goong, same actress, totally different role. Or Lie to me, also same actress but as a grown-up, it's hilarious and sweet at the same time.

J-Pop is still as stagnant as it ever was but I think you can't just compare J-Pop and K-Pop in terms of quality as they are meant to appeal to different target markets. Arashi basically has the Japanese pop market cornered and everything they do, interviews, shows, films, music, movies, is tailored to appeal to that…

"1st shop of coffee prince" is just so good and a very nice gateway drug if you want to get some of your friends hooked. I really adore it to pieces. And then there is "Goong", which is also old but the prince is hot and everything is so ridiculous and pretty, it's really great. For newer things I watched "Heirs",…

Plenty of people do. We don't care for the argument because here it's used by Neonazis to get the law revoked so they can march in style again. And franky, since the use of the symbol in the South Park game isn't to promote happiness and peace, it doesn't really matter.

So, the greater good is your wallet?

Are you giving it to ten people? I am genuinely curious because there is nothing this man is asking for that would prevent someone else from getting help. He isn't taking away their chance, he is just using his.

Really? That was the first time I found him cute since he played Jordan Catalano.

You could try to make Kimchi from leftover cabbage, if you're into spicy food. Doesn't need any freezer space and keeps pretty well. Also yum! :) Or if you get bored of the cabbage taste easily, you could chop it finely and add it to ground meat as a filling for dumplings etc.
