He doesn't think rationally.

Yeah, I stopped hearing from my now-bf for a few weeks over OKC when we were first chatting and I thought maybe I was getting the fade, but when he came back and was like "Sorry, I was at sea", I realized what dating someone in the Navy is like.

So I think I can translate this for you.

They wanted a no strings, no expectations thing....as long as they were the ones calling the shots.

I've run into this too. It's a classic move by the emotionally unavailable person. Keep you at arm's length, but if you step away...they suddenly want you so much more.

Thankfully…

i can't believe dudes want us to let them do things like lead the country and make decisions. they're way to mercurial for this, they must see it!

I once went on two dates with a dude who sent me a few random texts about how gorgeous I was and how glad he was that we met, which, okay, whatever. It was a little weird, but he was nice enough and we had a lot in common. But the night before our third date, he sent me text calling me out for being emotionally cold…

Longtime lurker here, not a troll. I have to post because the OK Cupid guy with the epic list of impossible demands (http://jezebel.com/this-is-the-mo…) is still online and he liked me!!!! Despite me being a real live human being and thus not at all what he's looking for.

The fedora is strong with this one. M'lady.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to get these kinds of messages, ladies. Sometimes you have to wait months or even years to find out you've been dating an asshole, but these guys just let you know right away. It's practically a public service!

Men are *so emotional!* My heavens.

Seriously, any dude that uses "libations" (or even worse "m'lady") who is not dressed in period-accurate reproduction clothing needs to be drawn and quartered. The Queen has so ordered.

Me, the second you mentioned the "Paris" thing...

YYASSSS! That is a good tip. I'm going to try that when I'm back in the US.

PS if anyone is curious, all German plus size stores I've found (there aren't many) look like what Lane Bryant must have looked like in like...1992. Or what the "clearly intended for women over 60" sections of your average JC Penney looks like…

It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers.

I don't really mind Lane Bryant's schizophrenic clothing options as much as I mind their schizophrenic sizing. You have to be 9000' tall to wear their pants and have a torso the size of a garden gnome to wear their shirts. I always wonder who these women are with legs the same length as mine (I'm 6') and torsos the…

Now that I'm 30 and a mom, I feel like I've aged out of a lot of Torrid's offerings (though I still get my jeans there). However, every time I check out Lane Bryant I'm disappointed. The clothes are plain, frumpy, and HELLA expensive. The only thing I've been able to get at Lane Bryant with any success is work pants…

Where does plus-size go next?

While I hate referring to any cut of beef as shitty the round primal is pretty laced with connective tissue so tenderizing it is a must. However even though I know beating the crap out of it with a mallet is fun I would suggest getting one of these buggers. Does a better job of creating a tender steak and is just as…

I used to work at a church, and a lifelong member once lamented the fact that one can't use "Jew down" anymore, so we don't have freedom of speech. She insisted it was a compliment: "It means they're good at business!"

I wonder if anyone has pointed out to Ms Bialik that "what am I supposed to tell my children?" is exactly the same thing people say about gay marriage.
