I have felt fat and unlovable my whole life. I don't remember a time when I didn't feel that way. And what sucks is that I'm on the higher end of fat. At my heaviest I was close to 500 pounds. That's a world of difference from say, having to go through life like Queen Latifah. And when you're that big you get a bird's…

My answer is anything sharp or contagious or on fire.

I'm not a mother, and never plan to be one, so perhaps my opinion is irrelevant, but here it is. No matter what we do to our children, no matter how we raise them to be good, responsible adults, they will inevitably grow up fucked up. And they'll hate us. There's a mother out there somewhere who's doing "everything…

I only read like the first few chapters of the first book, and when I couldn't find anything steamy I stopped reading, but the book isn't terribly written. I bet that the author told libraries to stop stocking the book so that horny women would have to pay to read it. Think about it. 90% of the women buying this book…

I lost 140 pounds between 2008 and 2011. Then I got some mobility back and took it right to McDonalds. I gained back 90 pounds, plunging myself into a depression and undoing over 3 years of hard work. Of those 90 pounds, I've lost about 18 but it's VERY hard for me. The way I am treated by perfect strangers is…

In the old days it seemed that a female comedian could get by on her comedy. But nowadays it seems like you can't really do that unless you're either a lesbian, black, or look/act like you could kick someone's ass (think Lisa Lampanelli). I forget who it was but someone said something about how modern-day comediennes…

What about waiting 3 days before inserting your tampon when getting your period? I mean do you KNOW all the bad stuff that you can get from a tampon? Toxic Shock Syndrome for one. Sheesh! Forget about the fact that you'd probably bleed all over your house/sofa/jeggings. Fuck it. That's a decision that requires some…

This guy is NOT representative of ANY men I know. I am 30 and have lived in NYC my whole life. Not Brooklyn like the Girls girls, but Queens, which is just one borough over (though my mother worked in Brooklyn for like 40 years). I know NO men who are like this. Granted, I don't know many men who are like the men…

I wish that kinda shit would happen to me! I'd sell it. Use the term "primo" and buy myself a boat.

@monafolana It's kind of a long story but my mental illness is environtmental related, and so if I'm in school I can just leave and make up the work (which I've done). A job, not so much. There's also mobility issues and physical issues that keep me from being able to get around and get hired, etc. It's also the…

I get what you're saying but I think what she meant was that men are not degraded in the media for being bald the way women are for having cellulite (or really for being fat in general). That's because women are judged by what they look like while men are judged by what they have. That's why Donald Trump can still…

Cellulite IS normal, but it's also unsightly. And it's OK that I say that because I have a ton of it. It's like wrinkles. We know they're a normal part of aging/existing, but we still do everything we can to get rid of them. If I ever have the kind of money to spend on this Cellulaze thing, I fully intend to try it.…

My name is Andrea (duh) and I guess I like it, but when combined with my last name I always felt it sounded too ethnic (Italian) even though I think the origin of "Andrea" is Greek. But one of the things I HATE about my name is that it's so commonly mispronounced. I pronounce it Andrea, with a New York accent, like…

@birdsinhelmets I didn't say stealing the $20 from the cleaning lady would "right" or "ok." I just said I'd do it. Maybe I would feel guilty, I don't know. But I certainly wouldn't care. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's A LOT more common than people are willing to admit.

@Jezzer I called it "Brat-shaming" because it was like a play on "slut-shaming," in which those calling the girls sluts are the ones who think they're sluts, not the actual sluts themselves. So in this analogy, I don't think I'm a brat, but my naysayers do.

Thank you fox4t!!!!!!!! Thank you! You put what I've been TRYING to say so much better than I ever could. EXACTLY. I'm not coming down on anyone. I'm just trying to say that my parents support me. I don't HAVE to work. I don't think people should come down on me for that. Be thankful I'm fortunate. But people are…

This is fantastically written and so true, but then what? So we all live for ourselves and then what? We wind up lonely. I can only speak for myself, but I AM too fat for men. Most men. Virtually ALL men. And the ones I'm NOT too fat for are usually so gross that even I don't want them. So I have 2 choices: I can…

Ill. Maximillian Silberman looks super effeminate. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My parents agreed to $1200 a month if/when I move out. I'm 30 and I live in NY.
