Thank heavens I am not the only one who has played the "allergy" card. I figure in a situation like that, there is no tactful escape other than to say, "I am allergic to x, but thank you so much anyways."

Back when I first moved to Mississippi, the only thing I remember about my first day of school was seeing a very-pregnant 13 year-old fail at trying to tie her shoelaces.

So what is one supposed to do? I hardly see this information posted online as a convenient WikiHow. (seriously, the first Google hit I got for asking was "what do do when your cat miscarries.")

Things like this always made me glad that I resembled Daria when I was that age.

I am in the exact same position as you—even down to the married men. I know that I have always given off an air of being unapproachable, but when I was younger, the guys were brazen enough to try anyways. Now I just feel like all the creeps/socially awkward/and man-children are just wasting my time.

I was about to make a similar post of a military gym too, but I am an officer and have scared the ever-loving poop out of the occasional airman or young lieutenant. (Ironically, steering men away from me is the only time I play the officer card...I got out of active duty almost a decade ago)

I am an air traffic controller, and that is how is how I plan/work traffic.

My corgi mutt is half Jack Russell Terrier. I will give half of that energy to yours. :-)

This issue makes me sad because most of who I considered "good" friends have distanced themselves from me after they got married. Despite being "one of the guys," I found myself being tossed aside because they did not want to make their wives jealous.

I wish another guy I know used this info.

Nah, you know there still has to be plenty of guys on Tinder that would still try to woo her in the hopes she really is a horny woman.

A coworker of mine smoked heavily while pregnant (and claimed that her doctor said it was fine). The entire workplace judged her to be a selfish lying twat.

Ditto, thrift stores for the win. I will never buy new if I can help it.*

I am half Korean/Caucasian and visited Japan a couple years ago. People thought I was Japanese until the moment I opened my mouth—and even then, they were still friendly and kind. (although I did get stared at while sitting in the window of a coffee shop by businessmen, but I don't know why)

I am also half Korean and half Caucasian too.(mid 30s here)

My brother is an outlier—he is a damned slob.

My brother lives in my basement because if I were to throw him out, I am sure that he would get eaten by dingoes. He cannot do a damn chore to save his life. I spent YEARS trying to get him to man up, but gave up because the energy and frustration wasn't worth it.

My brother's Eskie would eat week-old greasy paper napkins that baked on asphalt in the Mississippi summer. She would eat dessicated dead frogs. She even eats random unidentifiable things she finds on the ground in gas station parking lots.

I was livid when I discovered on that site that the pricey Bil-Jac I was feeding my beloved corgi was primarily corn.
