Ah I was waiting for this to debut at Jezebel, after the nonsensical article from Cosmopolitan here: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news… (Nigerians rightly trounced the article in the comments section)

I was charmed by the first Shrek movie because it subverted some of those tropes. The princess was a real person who could save herself, they fell in love, and they stayed ogres.

Haha, I used to think people I knew were making it up too. But yeah, I strongly believe that children should be born to women who really sincerely want them (in an ideal world, anyhow). Since I don't, I'll spend my time on things that do sincerely interest me.

It's a primal drive, sure, but it's not a "need". At least not a universal one. I have never felt like a "need" to have children. Never wanted them, never will. besides, other people's children are the ultimate birth control.

sure. for society as a whole.

I was totally kidding about the thigh gap.

Exactly. Whenever I have a sore back, I think about how it would be nice to have a husband to give me a massage. Then I dream bigger and wish I were rich so that I could get all the professional massages I need without having to beg for a half-assed one from a guy!

"just doing it for attention" always strikes me as a really weird thing to accuse a person of. Of course he's doing it for attention! That's 99% of the reason why any human being does anything, ever.

Also perfect for people who live in a place where the pharmacist denies/shames them for asking for Plan B. Wish that didn't have to be a factor, sadly still is in many parts of this country.

Yeah I mean I went to the pharmacy lol. I also would be freaked out by shipping, I just meant the price is much better....shit's expensive.

It's not so much a question of absolute faith as just sort of taking your chances - while earlier is better, you do have a little bit of a window. I can see where if you don't have a car, live near a pharmacy, or have readily accessible public transportation, or you have mobility issues, or you have a job you can't…

Beyond the weird sadness & desperation vibe this whole things gives me...I just don't understand why it took so damn long to make that many sandwiches. He says make 300 sandwiches, you go out to the corner store and buy all the wonder bread and bologna and slap together 300 sandwiches in a night. The next step should…

Right? That was fucking exhausting for me to try to piece together.

For her sake I hope so; she deserves so much better than this whinging fool.

No, I agree with that. Would not fuck him if he were the last guy on Earth.

So...a woman finds pregnancy to be a positive experience and has waived the surrogacy fee to give three children to families that want to adopt, and we're going ewwww?

His issue wasn't with monogamy. His issue was with the fact that he was dating a "big girl" and felt he should have some "hotties" and playing around on the internet supported his delusion that he could do better. He thought fattie would be at home alone while he hooked up with models. Do you seriously think he'd have…

He's lost her. He doesn't know it yet but he has. Game over dude.

I know there's a "happy ending" to all this, but this made me very sad:

Most guys who think they "settled" have no idea that they actually hit the jackpot for their attractiveness level until there is some sort of rude awakening.
