Reminds me of a hilarious moment from college. My friend’s roommate was in a sorority and bought an expensive designer dress for a formal.The roommate was modeling it for her snobby sorority sister who asked “is it silk?”Roomie replies “of course it’s silk!” Indignantly while friend and I watch. After the sorority…

You're welcome. What I do put in my profile is that I am a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 because any dude who finds that hilarious too will get my sense of humor!

Finacea cream which caused a burning sensation and I had to immediately wipe it off, and then Metrogel which was first prescribed to me when I was diagnosed with rosacea, which was totally ineffective this time around. I seem to recall a sulphur smelling cream that I had previously used too.

Oh I have favorites, Margaret Fuller and German Poet Bettina Von Armin. But they are so obscure I wouldn't put them in a dating profile.

Good tip. I had some aloe gel left over from a hair mask recipe so I was using that as a pre shampoo treatments. Oils are probably what I need.

Thanks. My stylist recommended Pureology but at $28 a bottle I was all Nope. And sounds like it's not even worth it. Gonna try your shampoo.

So perhaps your lit degree prepared you for reading lots of complex documents? And being a lawyer might give you more skills to sniff out a date’s BS? A win-win situation!

Any suggestion for good shampoo for normal/dry color treated hair that won’t irritate the scalp and doesn’t cost a fortune? I use a Proganix shampoo/conditioner, No Fade, but a few days after washing my hair, my scalp feels dry and I have these small white flakes around my hairline :(

I get it. My grad degree was through the English dept, so I took lots of lit courses like that, though I eventually settled on a tech writing degree because I didn’t want to teach lit or composition. What do you do now?

That...is awesome! He probably thought he would sound all brainy and literate to his date. But also that’s what sucks about online dating is you have such little to go on and try to make connections based on a few words in the profile and half the time they might be lying.

TBH I found him annoying as Ted, but very impressed how he matured in his acting in later roles. So I totally get why you dig him. In Something's Gotta Give, he was the only character who I connected with.

Oh, the Lake House! Forgot about that. How I cried at the end! Wasn’t he also the doc in Somethings’s Gotta Give?

That's a much more exciting dream than being married to a prof or architect!

Maybe they think they will impress you because DFW is hard to read?

Just look at it as a good screening tool to weed out liars. Props to you for calling him out on it. Was he trying to impress you with his literary knowledge?

Now that would be an awesome scene in a rom-com for lit geeks!

Silly me, I should have known. I took grad classes in lit with a few really pretentious profs, mostly bearded. The more obscure, the better is the way to stand out and lord their pretentiousness over us. Can you imagine how insufferable the first date would be with the prof who insists on enlightening you on his…

Yup, that is a much more accurate description.

Right? I did read “Girl with the Curious Hair” and I was like WTF did I just read? Forget “Infinite Jest.” I’ll just watch “End of the Tour.”

I love me some pigeon pose but the boobs get in the way most of the time. The pose is such a relief for my tight hips but then I am all, “where am I gonna put my boobs?”
