Well, since you asked, I will tell you the reasons why I am interested in where people are from. I am from New York and I am in my 40s. I was raised in a time and place where different ethnicities were celebrated with parades, street fairs, classroom parties — it was not considered offensive, when and where I was…

While it's shocking to hear someone come out and SAY it, I'm guessing there are a lot of people in the world who had kids for the exact same reason as Britney Spears wants to.

Sometimes I want to smack my teenaged self because I always viewed myself as being the most mature teenager that ever lived, and I also had an interest for older men. I once used to flirt with a 24 year old guy a lot, and we talked about age differences. He thought his attraction to me was wrong, but my dumbass self…

Well, in all fairness there are some immature losers who are probably mentally comparable to teens. But legally they are adults so it is like, gross. Find another emotionally stunted 20 something female and call it a day. They are out there.

wait, there's such a thing as a ring reveal party? I once went to a happy hour right after a friend of mine proposed to his girlfriend and he was like "oh let me get her so you can see the ring!" and I was like "oh no thanks, I'm good. I'm sure it's great." 99% of engagement rings look the same anyway.

I'm in my 20s and most of my friends are nice guys, but they admit that dating younger women puts them in a position of power. I'm sure that the guy you dated was nice and I'm not saying this of Lorde's boyfriend because she's working and essentially lives an adult like, but going after teenage girls is creepy. Most…

You said it better than I could. Mature 17 year-olds are only mature to younger teenagers and their peers. I work with an 18 year old. She's level headed, smart, capable and great to have around. However, she has the maturity level of someone who is 18, despite her having a good job and doing her job very well.

Well of course you thought you were really mature! You were 17. Every single 17 year old girl thinks she's the most mature person in the world. But most 17 year olds have no actual real life experiences to back up their claims of "maturity". Mirroring the likes and behaviors of older women a mature teenager does not…

This is what I'm saying. Because a straight guy happens to think something I happen to like doing is sexy, it become inherently unfeminist? That's bullshit. I think Single Ladies is strictly performance. But Beyonce is hot, so pretty much anything she does is sexy. Does that mean she should stop existing, let she…

I'd rather run. I know my heart rate monitor probably overestimates, but it says I burn about 900c-1000c/hr (I'm 6'3, ~215), so that's about 15c/min on the low end. Sex seems like pretty weak sauce for exercise. Plus you have to have someone else involved. No thanks.

Well, from a grammatical perspective, "women doctors" and like is just a mess. Nouns should not modify other nouns. So the technically correct adjective-noun construction here would be "female doctors," but that sort of phrasing is very clinical and some people chafe at that. I would probably choose a construction…

I am chubby, burnt over 60% of my body and have VERY noticeable 3rd degree burn scars ALL over my body including my face. My left hand fingers have all been amputated at the first knuckle. I have a big wide nose, I'm opinionated, loud, and generally just not the "type" of girl most anyone typically goes for. But I've…

I see people with other desires out side of their lover. i am not down with that mind set.

That is irresponsible bullshit you are spouting.

I hear what you're saying, and as a Quebecer, Celine fills me with an odd mix of cringe/admiration, however it is hard to deny that Celine has a set of pipes that easily eclipse Taylor Swift's reedy vocals, even after all these years!

Actually this comment is disturbingly naive. 1 in 5 children in America go to bed hungry. Millions of people still die from starvation every year. Obesity is a result of poverty most of the time. People can't afford healthy food only carbs and fast food. I would be slim if I could afford a gym and vegetables. …

Yes, the Renaissance female ideal (at least judging from paintings from that period) was larger than today's, but still nowhere near as big as these women. People today are bigger than they have ever been, and it's only "normal" if you disregard the entirety of human history before the past 20 years or so.

As I've already said in the comments here, I never said this site/these photos should not exist. I simply was recognizing that because most Americans are obese, now when we see an obese women in lingerie we say it's a "normal woman in lingerie" and.. that it's a brave new world that is sad.

Also, can we stop misusing the word "curvy"? It's a word with positive connotations that has been misappropriated to mean something completely different. In order for someone to be curvy, there has to be a waistline: the curves have to go in, not just out. A series of bulges is not "curvy".

Thank you for this. This is exactly what I usually fail at expressing, and you have done so with finesse. Plus, people need to realize that there is Hollywood "overweight" and then there is medically overweight. There is a huge space between Hollywood-fit and medically overweight. A large portion of women do fall in…
