No, I feel the same way. I have H cup breasts and if I had the money I'd have them reduced to Bs in a heartbeat. I literally weep when I see a picture of cute, tiny boobs that never sag.

Who doesn't remember growing up and always feeling inadequate and too fat from comparing yourself to other girls, and then dating guys who liked precisely the parts of yourself that you were most self-conscious about?

THANK YOU. I knew tons of guys who weren't into the stereotypical blonde bombshell...but they were into other "types" of women (redheads, asians, always short, always super super skinny). I was none of those types so...

"no boys think you're pretty, so there's no chance you can feel good about yourself"

You say that because you are already valued for your attractiveness. I'm ugly as fuck but I was always told "You're so smart!" "You're so funny!" by my peers and by dudes. Guess what? No amount of funny makes you good enough to go to bed with. So while I was the funny/awesome/cool friend, I was very clearly sent the…

Seriously. I feel like my romantic life has always been me on an island where I could see all the awesome shit happening on the mainland, but fuck if I could actually get over there.

That's what I can never understand about poly relationship - HOW DO YOU FIND ALL THESE PEOPLE? I was single all through high school, college, and graduate school. No one wanted to date me, no matter what I did/wore/looked like/etc. I, somehow, met a guy and got married (well past the age when normal people get…

Actually, that depends on your company. I worked for a company that gave LOAs to people for any reason they wanted, providing they worked at the company for a certain number of years. Granted, you had to work there for like 20 years before you were eligible, but they did tout them as "go write that book you always…

...you realize women don't have a never-ending supply of fertile years, right? She may not have been able to play the "it's not the right time because of WORK" card. There's only so long you can wait.

...does your company not have leave of absence?

Thank you. He's doing ok now. Hope all is well for you.

Honey, YOU go through the worst time of your life, have a fucking unexpected meltdown, and let me know how clearly YOU think. Because guess what happens when you break? YOU DON'T THINK CLEARLY OR RATIONALLY. You think I even THOUGHT to pull over? NO. All I could think of was to get him home so he could rest. That's…

Yeah...the only person I had to call was sitting right beside me. He couldn't drive. I know I shouldn't have done it but we had no one else to call.

Late to the party (as always) but I wanted to share.

You are not alone. I HAVE to wear makeup - my skin is terrible and I have a noticeable 'stache due to very pale skin and VERY dark hair follicles. Even after a wax my upper lip looks dark.

To be fair - noncon is as old as fandom itself. There are TONS of fanfics depicting extremely explicit rapes between every character you can think of. It's not my thing, but it doesn't surprise me that as technology evolves fandom evolves with it.

You want to hear what's really sad? I'm 34.

I think if I hadn't had such a terrible time dating when I was younger, it would be easier. As it is, he's just the latest in the parade of men who find me disgusting.

I have a giant box full of notebooks with said angsty goth poetry. One of those notebooks still smells like the clove cigarettes I used to smoke while writing.

SOLD! Except - no Old Spice. It reminds me of my 70-year-old father. Drakkar Noir, maybe? That's what all the dudes wore when I was in high school in the late 90s.
