That photo of Adam Levine is exactly how he looks to me ALL THE TIME.

Your dad is wise. That's the best thing to do. Parents should not put much weight at all on their kids appearance (other than have good hygiene). Even well intentioned parents praising a kid for being attractive can mess with their heads if it's done too often, by teaching them that their appearance is what's…

OMG I love him. And the man is fucking gorgeous. In his case, the inner and outer beauty seem perfectly aligned.

If I were her, not only would I avoid Italy but probably the whole continent. I like to travel but if that were my travel abroad experience, I think I'd decide there are plenty of great places to go in the good old U.S.A. (and Canada).

Yep, my sister's shoelace got caught and then the elevator ate her entire shoe, started on her sock, and was munching on her big toe when some random man came dashing over to yank her foot away from the elevators teeth with all his might. My parents are not the litigious type. They were happy with the check the mall…

She does sound great and I think it's insane that she's considered big for a ballerina?! There is no weight anywhere for her to lose, she's all muscle and no fat.

It has always always bothered me that whenever you hear about this "incident," it is always "when madonna kissed britney." No, she kissed Xtina and she kissed Britney. You NEVER hear about that time when Xtina and Madonna kissed. I don't get it. And lame ass guys going on about how hot it was never seem to mention…

Oh my, I might be willing to pretend to be a racist piece of shit and take a punch from Kanye for $250,000. That would pay off my house, buy me a car, and have lots left over for fabulous vacations!

I never kicked anyone when they were down. My discussion was about guys who act OUTRAGED and hostile when they learn that the attraction is not mutual. I get that it hurts to be attracted to someone who isn't into you. It also hurts when someone you thought was a friend tells you they have no interest in friendship…

I don't know if I'm the poster you are referring to, but if yes, absolutely he made no hint. All we did was go to happy hour regularly, usually with a larger group of people who worked in the same building downtown. He NEVER paid for me, there was never anything date like about it. And I didn't mention this because I…

I've had a lot of friendships like this. Male friends and female friends are all the same to me, I mean, of course, each friend is different in their own way, but they all fit in the same friendship box in my head. There is no sexual tension.

No, I did not get mad that he wanted to take it to the next level. He was totally outraged that I wasn't interested in taking it to the next level and treated me with hostility when he found out there was no mutual attraction. He is the one that got mad and hostile dude. Not me.

I was lucky to see Anita Hill in person giving a key note address at a YWCA luncheon last year. She is so inspiring. If anyone ever has a chance to go see her in person, I highly recommend it. I will have to watch this movie.

Have they done studies (they probably have) that show that kids of celebrities sell rags? It seems to me like those are the pages everyone skips over because no one really cares about celebrities' kids. It feels like the magazines created this niche and not a burning demand on the part of the general population for…

Women LOVE nice guys. Actual nice guys don't pull this friendzone bullshit or have any need to defend themselves as nice guys.

Yes, in my mind a hard and fast truism is that actual nice guys never go around declaring that they are nice guys or trying to convince girls that they are nice guys. The actual nice guys have no need to do that. And those are the nice guys girls like.

I got this on day two of my cruise. I threw up 16 times in 8 hours. I won't even talk about what was happening at the other end. The worst part was the thirst. I was ravenously thirsty and I could even keep ice chips down, every time I tried to suck some ice chips, I threw up AGAIN. I ended up in the ship hospital on…

Because I do not have to be remotely physically attracted to my friends. With friends, I find it's better when you aren't physically attracted.

Yeah, I bet a lot of us can. I have definitely self-medicated as a way to dull the bad feelings I don't want to feel. I go through periods where I know I am drinking way too much / too often and periods where the fear of full blown alcoholism scares me into breaking the cycle and limiting it to social drinking with…

ETA: Sorry, I put this in the wrong spot, meant to reply to someone else.
