This all makes sense, thanks. Maybe I am having a hard time understanding because it seems odd that someone could make it to 30 (my friend’s age) with no minimum wage job experience whatsoever. Even rich people often have at least summer or part time jobs.

I struggle to understand this too. I currently have a single, male friend with no kids who has an advanced degree and claims he can’t even get a job at Whole Foods. I got a job there literally as a high school student. Like, there has to be something more going on with people who have qualifications but can’t get…

Yeah. Dislike. Being a gay male does not exempt you from acting insensitive towards women. At all.

so did you guys just have a staff meeting where you decided she’d be a fun victim? is that it?

It’s criminal this doesn’t have four digits of stars

one of my favorite lines ever is this Jeff Bewkes quote: “If you’re not paying for TV, you’re not the consumer, you’re the product.” this could not apply more to the free internet, which in refusing to place limits or expectations on consumers has allowed mostly garbage, self-styled ‘stars’ to rise without limits or…

Hatefulness aside, it’s just incredibly stupid of him to be so cavalier. Dude’s checks are signed by freakin’ Disney, the most famously controlled family brand in the world, and he’s throwing around casual hate speech - what did he think would happen? If you’re an employee and you make mindless mistakes that violate…

yeah my family is exactly like this. other commenters have questioned why anyone could experience pregnancy and still be pro-life, and in my experience it’s because people of this ilk simply do not talk about or seem to process the messy, lonely side of pregnancy - at least not in an honest way. it’s an extension of…

i would never have believed this could alone be a dealbreaker *UNTIL* i put off going all the way with a guy i’d been dating for a few months (not sure why, just wanted to wait). i was incredibly infatuated with him and was totally sure it was gonna be awesome and we were gonna fall madly in love. when we finally…

okay listen good. you are 23. it’s not like there’s a certain age at which any woman should ever be worried about permanent loneliness, but you should definitely not be worrying about this at 23. also, those ‘coupled up’ friends? yeah, they are mostly going to break up. the ones who stay put and get married...well, i…

100%. And the next date he goes on, he talks about how his last few dates/exes screwed him over all the way through the appetizer course.

are you a woman? because i am and yes,  we know how much men masturbate. i’ve been in relationships with men for two decades. straight women probably have a better firsthand sense of real male masturbation habits than most men. 

this man seems like the type of dude who talks exhaustingly about himself for the entirety of any first date.

my pickiest single straight male coworker is like this. he’s a serial 30something online dater and once rejected a gorgeous doctor after one date because ‘her arms looked chubby from a certain angle’. nevermind the fact that he’s grossly undateable and has no real positive qualities other than being employed. 

right? like “boo i agreed to test a sex app but nobody would have sex with me so I got sad”? lol.

did you read the article? the entire thing is based on the idea that men expect to be getting tons of sex.  In one part he mentions that he took on an assignment to test a sex app assuming he’d be able to find a sex partner - then is shocked he can’t find someone. like no, guy, you can’t just expect to get laid,…

right? like oh god, you have to put yourself out there and actually try?! what nerve!!!

yeah this guy 100% seems like the type of guy who has never had a truly intimate sexual experience in his life.

oh man that article about the writer being a ‘mystery brunette’. they do everything but say point-blank that there’s no way he could be dating her because she’s a normal looking person. media! yes!

Sorry, a clarification - their position was based largely on the stereotype that black diners do not tip, and that is why the servers did not want to wait on them as a rule (among other nasty comments). It wasn’t an “I can’t help my obvious racism so they’ll maybe shortchange me” argument, it was literally just pure…
