Yeah I'm there with you. In fact I do get much more positive attention when I wear makeup vs. not, just as I get more positive attention when I am intentional about other aspects of my presentation (hair, clothes). It's impossible to ignore this, and I try not to do it too often because I don't want to rely on my…

I was being pretty verbose, but essentially my belief is that parenthood is a more important responsibility, with far greater implications on the lives of the people involved, than marriage. You can leave a marriage. You can't bail on being a parent.

I'm interested to find out what degree of "neglect" people would use to defend leaving a marriage or cheating (especially!!! when children are part of the picture. Like that isn't going to damage them). I agree that modeling a good marriage is very important to a kid's development. I just think it's ridiculous to…

Marital partnerships aren't the same as parent-child relationships. Significant otherhood is a built on work and marriages can be broken and new marriages formed. On the other hand, no matter what else happens, if you have kids you are their parent forever. Parenthood is not conditional. Generally the parent is…

Help me out here, Brits. THis whole sex-on-the-plane thing reminds me of the the much-bandied anecdote of folks being politely ignored while they have sex on the Tube, only to draw protest the moment they light the post-coital cigarette. Urban legend?

Consider the frequency with which people masturbate/jerk each other off under blankets on planes, this doesn't surprise me. It's a way to while away long flights while everyone else is asleep and you've got jet lag.

There is definitely such a thing as too much length, and insomuch as size is related to pleasurable sensation, I tend to place more importance on girth. To me, at least, a penis can be too small or too big (for optimal pleasure). There is plenty of flex room in between though.

I know this is a creepy thing to bring up, but I wonder if the practices described here have any bearing on this phenomenon

We disagree on that point.

Or maybe we don't all have the same beauty criteria? There are plenty of so-called sex symbols and beauty icons I find incredibly boring, because I've seen a great enough variety of people to form my own opinion.

It's an expression used by one friend in college. Never used it but for some reason this post reminded me of it. I think it's kinda hilarious.

Look up "defensive driving".

I will def check out Hustle. I dig cons.

Some may laugh but let me tell you. My most recent slampiece was intermittently dating a lady twice his age when he was 35 (during our on-and-off FWB arrangement). Give THAT a nice long think. My point, this lady is my new role model.

OOOOooh! Speaking of Charlie, the actor who plays him, Max Beasley (rAWRrrr...) was also in an unfortunately short-lived but very cool post-plague catastrophe drama called Survivors. It's based on a novel previously adapted in the 70s (also UK) and got cancelled right when things were starting to really gel,…

Remakes=money, I guess. I find it hilarious that Coupling, which was technically a Brit version of Friends, also got remade in the U.S. — where does it all end?

WHY YES SINCE YOU ASKED! Hotel Babylon is my favorite "dramedy". I have lots of friends who work in hotels/hospitality professions and the book gets widely circulated among them. Also I am a total BBC nut. Someone already mentioned Peep Show — it's probably the best sitcom ever since Seinfeld and Arrested…

To some people, anything that grants advantages to women is "feminism". They ignore the history of women deriving certain benefits from sexist double standards. That's what makes me all explodey about the wingnuts when they trot out some example of an unfair bias in the legal system that favors women, and then cry…

I agree with you there, I'm just put off by the bashing. If someone's going to renounce women or chose asceticism because they feel like their energies are better focused in other ways, that's fine. I got into an argument with someone recently about one of these videos (the narrator's tone was really smug and…

Wow you're right about that... at least someone is on top of it, thx!!
