I’ve always found that so weird....I have a few friends who own bars and restaurants and I always end up spending far more there than if I’d gone to a regular place. I want to see them succeed and I want them to continue their business so why would I take free stuff?

I’m the queen of first (and only) dates and I didn’t even realize that a big part of this was because I ALWAYS insisted on either splitting or paying the check. I spoke to a few guy friends about my issues dating and they unanimously agreed that if a woman offers to split or wants to pay she’s not interested and they…

The tired thing is tough. I work and do most of the housework PLUS I have to walk a mile and a half from the bus stop to our place after work (and summer blows because it’s 90 degrees and humid out) and I’m just not into sex because I’m fucking exhausted. He, meanwhile, works a cushy office job with air conditioning,…

That was always my thought too... ‘cool, go away, that’s literally what I want you to do right now’

That’s how most of the country is. I grew up in southern california, then moved to the central coast to a VERY liberal city. Make a 10 minute drive outside of that city and you may as well be in Bakersfield or Fresno. Lots of meth, confederate flags, truck nuts and jokes about dragging guys who wear skinny jeans…

I thought about that too (I’m in purchasing), but then when we had a few vendors try and cheat us out of product, we had product delivered damaged and the stupid ‘perfect’ algorithm used to calculate demand told me to order 200+ of an item we’ve sold 2 of in the past 3 years I realized I’m probably pretty safe for the…

I don’t know a single person who watched the debate as anything more than to watch stuff get fucked up and play drinking games. Watching it as a serious debate? No...not so much.

This is exactly how I respond now. I used to be a little more understanding and try to talk about it like a rational adult but you can’t talk to whiny, mouth-breathing assholes like that. So now, all I say is that it’s legal and they can go fuck themselves with zero concession and zero debate.

You only have to deal with it for 4 weeks before?!?! My friends start preparing in spring and it’s basically all I hear about for months, then they’re gone for a blissful 2 ish weeks, then I get to hear about it for another few months.

I went to Burning Man back in...2011. I had friends that OBSESSED about it so finally I was like ‘what the fuck, why not?’ and I went. And it was pretty meh, to be honest. I met some cool people, but met a lot more self absorbed douchebags. Did some drugs that were cool, but I could have done them in a neat forest…

I wonder if the person was Jain and could claim non-violence and refuse to issue pretty much everything. Considering they’re celibate there would be no marriage licenses at all, and they are strict vegans who try not to even step on bugs so definitely no fishing/hunting licenses because then they would be facilitating…

I squished myself into a 40F for a long time (it did nothing for the ladies and nothing for my poor shoulders/spine) because I refused to admit I was bigger than that. Anything that big was for dirty sluts! Or so I was told by my ever helpful coworkers and friends.

This conversation is pretty standard in workplaces when women aren’t around. I ended up in fucking therapy because of the shit that was said around me when I worked in shops, but I was ‘just one of the guys’ so they never held back. This conversation was TAME compared to the ones I heard, and don’t even get me started…

It goes D (huge) DD (fuckin huge) and then everything after that is just ‘porn star’. I’m a 36HH and most people (women included!) don’t know bras go above DD.

The first time I was puked on by a stranger on public transportation was on the path back to nj at 4ish am. Ahh, memories

Or the person doesn’t really see a benefit in romantic gestures. My boyfriend is extremely practical and thinks celebrations or romance is largely unimportant because they don’t serve a utilitarian purpose. I mean, the only reason we have a nice floor rug in the bedroom is because I had to make a practical argument…

Instead of plastic, I have that same table in particle board with metal legs and I just covered the top with contact paper to cover the burn marks/scratches/whatever. I found it in the basement of the houses used to live in and have had it for years. I've thought about getting a real desk but it's basically perfect.

Yep!

Not a boy, and not frightened.

I do it the same thing because at least when people say I look ugly, ridiculous or terrible I can blame it on the weird face I'm making. It's a defense mechanism which may explain it.
