I spent two years trying to date men I met out in the wild. I ended up going on a lot of shitty firts dates and had a spate of meh one night stands. I went to bars, plays, networking, art shows, clubs, meetups (It was exhausting, like having a 2nd job)...and it was just brutal. I finally bit the bullet and signed up…

Honestly, the LW sounds so much like my mother (the manipulation, the martyr complex, the dangling carrot), I was having anxiety just reading it. Not all parents are great and some like to brag to the outside world how great they are when at home it's a dictatorship the kid has to smile through to survive. I think the…

Jez lawyers: so how do you prove rape when both parties were wasted and/or blacked out? Is there a specific legal argument or criteria?

One year I had been unemployed for about 6 months. I finally land a job and start on 12/4. Because of lack of funds and the new job I tell my parents that I simply cannot afford to travel home for Christmas, but they are more than welcome to come up and I’d host. I do not know this at the time, but this enrages my…

Deadly Honeymoon

Maybe it depends on the frame of the woman? I’m petitie with DD’s and my “ginormaous tits” are almost always cause for comment or joke. People are frequently shocked when I tell them I’m only a DD because they assume I must be an F or something. (Yes, I’ve been sized.)

Nathan Fillion was at Opening Night. That is all.

When I was younger and had intense orgasms I was squirt city. I didn’t have orgasms with a partner until partner #2 and didn’t have good, intense orgasms until partner #3. Partner #3 was HORRIFIED the first time it happened and indifferent the next couple times. I tried very hard moving forward not to do it. Years…

I had issues with chronic pain in my vaginal vestibule and I went to say not just an ONGYN but a specialist OBGYN and she told me in genernal but especially for me to make sure soap doesn’t get anywhere near my vage...so not soap on my outer bits or upper upper thighs. I have had no complaints.

Anecdotal, but of all the people I know, the most successful ones are the ones that know they can’t go home and do not have the support of their parents. The ones that are drifting along and unmotivated in dead-end jobs have the most involved, supportive parents. Something about having nothing to prove makes the…

My friend tells this story on how on a flight she was conversing with the women sitting next to her. She complimented said woman on her pearl necklace, and the woman goes, “Oh these aren’t pearls—they’re my children’s teeth. I had them buffed and made into this necklace.”

OT, but many moons ago when I was still a broke 20-something, I asked my parents for a Kitchenaid mixer for me b-day. Preferrably in cherry red, but I wasn’t picky about the color as long as it wasn’t fugly. Said mixer arrives in the mail and it’s HOT PINK. Now I’m a 90’s goth girl turned profesh Goth, so although…

Like others I see down thread, I started shaving my pubes at 16 because my bf at the time threatened to “go down on me less” if I didn’t ~*AND I LOVED HIM*~. Anyway, turned out that I really liked having a shaved pussy. Not getting my period matted in it or having the hair get mushed the wrong way if I crossed my legs…

Pants.
Doughnuts.
Taking the T home from the airport.

Years ago my friend and I called the cops on a guy who was openly masturbating over sleeping sunbathers (women) in a city park. Luckily they showed up right away and hauled the guy off (appareantly he ws a repeat offender). The problem came when we were relating this story later and all the guys were appalled at what…

I used to not poop in my multi-stall at work. And then I read somewhere someone saying that pooping at work was like the company paying you to poop and it stuck with me. It took some trial and error, but I mapped the least trafficked times at work, and now I try to almost exclusively poop at work.

After loudly singing Madonna songs while cleaning up, my fellow counselors ambushed me, tied me up with rope & duct tape and tossed me into the trunk of a car for a few hours....

Also amazing: Lowis Lowry. I’ve heard her speak a number of times and she doesn’t get enough press IMO.

When I started working in a busy office I was told by my manager that people “Don’t have time to read emails.” She said that putting the important info in the subject line meant people could tell at a glance what you wanted or what info you were relaying without having to go digging.

This, but about public transit. I take the MBTA Orange line into work every day and it’s the most miserable thing in the entire world including having to go home for Christmas or having to work with an ex who’s about to get married and wants to tell me all about his special day. Unless you’re on at 7:30am or 9am it’s…
