I agree that the focus on the (usually) the woman’s ‘predatory gold-digging’ is so strange to me. Maybe interrogate the values & desires of the millionaire/billionaire victim if he’s choosing to tie his life to that particular sort of person. Maybe he’s not looking for love & devotion in a mate either but looking to…

I think the Kardashians can be more accurately described as avid networkers/ social climbers rather than gold-diggers? They are interested in being talent adjacent in order to build their brands and businesses. It would have been pretty easy for them, Kim especially, to have married some reliable…

I wish them well if only for their child’s sake but I would feel a really nasty sense of schadenfreude if I heard they split (I am a bad person, I know). Anecdotally, I know of a few couples who ended up quite happy after starting off in that way so there’s always a chance that it will turn out well for them. I think…

I fully think men who marry so called ‘gold-diggers’ know what they are getting into. It’s a trade, youth and beauty for luxury and comfort. Both people are suspect, but somehow it’s the woman who gets all the social censure.

I am not THE wife but my ex’s girlfriend gave birth six months after he and I were officially divorced (3 months of separation), and I did NOT find that shit cute. Their toddler is cute though. Not sure how happy as a family judging from the messages he sometimes sends me.

I agree with you but I hang around enough Kanye/Jay-Z fan boys who moan about how great Kanye was before Kim came along. She ruined him apparently.

Waiting for certain types of internet egg-heads to blame, what sounds like a dispute, on Kim.

Heh. When I was 25, I would have said the same! But now, I am divorced, from a white guy, and pushing 30, and could definitely use some help meeting some unmarried, hopefully employed dudes.

Yes, I don’t have an accent either. In fact, most people assume I was born and raised here which is why I was a bit irked by the comment above. Unless I tell you my life story, or you see my birthplace on my passport, I can “pass” as a natural-born American.

Personally, I moved here permanently in my teens and then became a citizen, but it was a really long process and my identity is complicated by the fact that I’ve been living back and forth between the US and my country of origin basically my entire life. So, do I say I am American? Yes. I’ve put up with enough…

I don’t really care about how PwC handles it internally. Mostly just disgusted by people doxing them and posting their addresses online.

Why are people so insane? This is maybe, just maybe, a fireable offense, but it’s definitely not a dox and threaten lives level mistake.

“It doesn’t matter because you weren’t born in this country.” He was booked, fingerprinted and taken to a detention center in Tacoma.”

I always thought they were different types of razors because presumably women shave legs/arm pits and men shave their faces. But nope! It was very foolish of me. I started buying men’s razors this year.

I started buying men’s razors this year after borrowing one from my brother on a trip home and finding it was better quality (not like he uses a special expensive type, just basic disposables). I wish I had picked up on it years ago (shamefully, I am 28), but had always bought women’s because I had assumed they were…

Was she at least a yoga teacher/ wellness guru for famous peeps? I guess that’s at least a more “established” type of yoga instructor than my friends in Chicago who basically pick up classes at whichever local studios needs a substitute teacher?

I’ve been trying since college, I can’t do anything that involves being upside down in any form, including shoulder stands, head stands, and hand stands.

Imagine having a thought and coming to the conclusion that it does not have to be shared.

This is AMAZING! I’m so envious, I’ve been on the hunt for this for at least 3 years now.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Laura Kinsale but The Shadow and the Star, Flowers from the Storm and Lessons in French are three best written romances I’ve ever read. Also, check out For My Lady’s Heart, she actually has two editions: one in Middle English, and a shorter version in modern dialogue.
