YES. This is the other angle I'm talking about. My brother was the utterly crushed feelings-haver in a situation like this late last year/early this year and I felt so angry with his ex for indulging her desire to have his friendship when the truly caring thing to do would be to take a giant step back and let him have…

I don't think you're crazy being weirded out by your bf hanging out with an ex who has said multiple times she still has feelings for him. I suspect you're right that she enjoys the drama, but even if that's not true, she's clearly not over him, and I think your bf would be doing everyone a kindness by saying…

It's really frustrating. I totally get you. There have been times when I've had the most horrid, veil, degrading things yelled at me (things I've never been able to repeat to anyone) and I wished I could un-hear them. But I know a guy who got hit over the head and mugged while he had his earbuds in. Just wanted to…

Erm. I have nothing against staying friends with exes, but the "keeps telling him" part is unsavory. It is weird that he doesn't see that back-and-forth as a crossing of boundaries. Maybe he's overlooking it because he doesn't want to lose the friendship, but I don't know. If my ex is clearly not over me, I feel like…

Just don't have those headphones on too loud - it makes you a vulnerable target for attack if you can't hear someone coming up from behind you. I know, there's no winning.

I think the worst I ever get is when I haul various things across town. I live in a small town and I don't have a car, which is almost never a problem. But when I try to bring a pillow home from CVS (and we have a large traveler population here) the 30 minute walk home is just an invitation from every dude to try and…

You're wasting your time with a pathetic troll. "Misogynistic" is too fancy a' word for the trash that one spews.

The aggressive walk is my calling card. I have the most aggressive walk in the land and it's cut down on my cat calls significantly.

He asked me not to bother responding back to him because I was rude, yet he's defending approaching strange women in the street when we say we don't like it. The lack of self awareness is strong with this one.

Nah. Honestly, that seemed pretty tame compared to what he's said to others.

Did you not watch the video? Women are harassed on the street and in other public spaces constantly. It makes us feel uncomfortable and unsafe and we don't know when a seemingly harmless interaction is going to turn threatening. If you approach a strange woman, she is forced to evaluate in a split second whether…

I grew up in Yorkshire in a -really- small town (as in, more sheep than people). I took a job in Leeds which required a rather early start in order to take the train and get there by 8am. Once, as the sun was just rising, I walked up the hill towards the little train station, I heard someone cat-call me in a proper…

I had one of my bosses (drunk) say to me, "I have a helluva lot of respect for you. Wanna know why?" (Because I'm an amazing writer/editor? Because I always make time to help out my colleagues when they're behind?) "Because you've got nice tits, and you keep 'em covered. And I fucking love titties." Awesome.

I live in a small town outside of Seattle and I got hollered at FOUR TIMES one day by cars driving by as I was walking down the street. I'm over 40 and have a face like a potato. Oh yeah, they totally just drive by and yell about their boners. Or just honk and "Oww yeah!".

I shit you not, one day I was walking through a blizzard in knee-high wellies, an ankle-length black wool coat, a scarf wrapped around my face, and a big wool hat on- you could barely tell my age, let alone my gender, and some dude standing in his doorway says "Hey honey!" while giving me elevator eyes. Less than…

Conversation I had the other night around 11:30pm after parking my car in Brooklyn:

I bought one of these (the bumblebee model) for my nephew when he was two. The kid fucking loved it then, loves it now and his younger bro loves it as well. His parents roll their eyes everytime my guy and I bring those boys yet another well designed, well made and super-fun European toy. But fuck it, I refuse to buy…

That's why I try to limit myself to one glass of wine a day. Cheers!

It would explain why Matt Damon was so drunk.
