Awww! Thanks and I assure you Mr. Panther is very deserving of the honour. We finish each others' Simpsons references, he makes a mean dirty gin martini, and sometimes I catch him singing to the cats when he doesn't know I can hear. :)

The problem is not that she's picky, the problem is that she is a shallow asshole

Sorry, no.

This has happened to me too. A guy who was 50, paunchy, and whose handle was OnMyYacht. He saw fit to critique my cup size, my "wrinkled raisin body" (project much, dude? I was 25) and a few other things I don't remember. I didn't respond, because the fact that I wouldn't give him the time of day (age limit) was what…

Maybe if we didn't make women think it isn't okay to be single this wouldn't be an issue either.

Definitely as creepy as this.

Timely. I've just written snarky replies to two well-over-my-age-limit men who figured they should be the ones to let me know that after reading my profile they're sure I'll never find a man. And my reply was "that's fine - I'd rather be alone than settle for some entitled old guy who'll talk down to me at the same…

Yeah, having very high standards is only annoying when it's accompanied by frequent bitching about being single.

An all male Sex and the City sounds totally rad! You should totally pitch that to Hollywood, the tag line could be 'putting the man back in mani pedi!

I don't want tables any more.

15% is the absolute minimum, its the same amount I would give if my server leaned over and said "My taint was on this steak," and then licked my ear. The tip goes up from there, but anything less is absolutely abhorrent.

All of my best cursing comes from behind tapestries.

You get a star for using the word arras.

UGH OMG THESE PEOPLE. *head in hands* If the restaurant doesn't have it YOU can't have it. You don't get to go to the theater and hand people your own script.

Is it wrong of me to simultaneously feel surprised and disappointed that these shitheads survived? So that they can get their slap on the wrist because nobody else got hurt, and hey, nothing bad can ever happen to rich males?

The smallest bump is enough at that speed. The front lifts, you hit the side, and gone.

I was gaslit and abused by my two older brothers and my mother colluded in it. She would be nice to me when we were alone and then treat me like the help as soon as they showed up. Actually. I was always the help. A few years ago when my mother had cancer my younger brother begged me to spend time with them, and…

"I think a lot of this is that people who are close with their family don't understand the concept of not being close with your family."

I think a lot of this is that people who are close with their family don't understand the concept of not being close with your family. My parents weren't abusive, and I don't actively dislike them or anything, but...I just don't want to be around them. Like, almost ever. I have one or two things in common with my…

I have some experience dealing with someone (not a parent) who is so willfully disconnected from reality that they just don't understaaaaaand why you're upseetttttt what did they do wronnnnng can't we talk about it? And fine, you summon your backbone and your patience and you explain it clearly and simply. And your…
