Yeah, except statistics suggest that this is really common. I am guessing she didn't fill out the sex surveys a billion times to skew the curve so. Nope, not her.

My now-ex took pictures of me without my consent. It has happened to others, I'm sure.

Because once you're attractive enough, people stop even caring whether the two of you might be compatible in personality, and start seeing you as a commodity or a prize that everyone should compete for.

I'm in a similar place. It means a lot to hear someone else say this.

they say 'if you fall off that horse, get right back on it'. I'm pretty sure they were talking about dating rather than heroin addiction, though.

This may not cut it for you, but something to consider—volunteering. The majority of volunteers, regardless of the cause/charity, are female. They may not be there to meet men (probably not; little chance of that) but it's a good way to get to know people in a casual yet friendly environment.

Yes, it's dehumanizing.

I appreciate the compassion behind the thought, but-aren't methheads and crackheads more likely to commit petty theft than the general population? I don't wish anyone ill, but if minimizing risk is the thing, they're on my 'avoid' list.

It sounds like he's venting his anger on you, rather than trying to engage you in a conversation regarding what went wrong, and how it can be prevented in the future. I mean, does it really seem like any answer you give could be acceptable? The fact that you have a lower status in the company and are a newcomer means…

It's very good that your cat has someone like you on his side. The poor sweetie.
My cat, Babe, was on medication for hyperthyroidism for many years, even before I adopted her at age 8. She had a good quality of life - enjoyed her food, loved to cuddle, enjoyed all the other Babe things. Years later, she developed a…

I can relate to that.

Nope, she's a horrible person who says unfunny, racist things.

A poop on the stairs can be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend. ♫

This is a sponsored post, isn't it? There's no way all Gawker Media properties are blanketed with stories on Fallon without that being the case, right?

Sponsored Post tag is missing.

I took 'post reaction gifs' as a deliberately ironic call to action. Because Thurston said 'when (we) grow up (we) will glean the complexities of real life and love.' By posting gifs, we're showing how many shits we give about this opinion of his. Except irony is a double-edged sword; at the same time, by showing how…
