I agree on some of your points, but "Single women get nothing out of a relationship with a guy already in a relationship" doesn't explain the number of women who are somehow chronically drawn to attached men.

I agree with you regarding the title — it's phrased incorrectly, the study doesn't suggest that the oil is *more* effective at all. Apart from that, I don't think the readership here are mistaking Jez's reporting on this for medical consensus, and I also think that the comments attract as much attention as the…

Is this science reporting? Or is it "hey look at this study we found, we invite you to ponder the implications..." All you really need is the headline, because holy shit look at all the googling it launched. The point is that it generated enough curiosity for people to search for the source material and make their…

I am one of those people! I leave doors open all the time. I think it's because the part of my brain that knows things are still there when I can't see them never got past age 2.

It's like an adorableness contest where it's impossible to pick a winner. Head explode!

2 things:

Stuff like this especially makes me cringe because people conflate this cheap "turnabout is fair play" brand of female chauvinism with feminism. People finger-point this crap, conclude that feminism is actually reverse sexism and anything women have gained as a class that was advanced by feminist activism gets called…

Wow and I thought it was just a matter of knowing which hookah bar to go to. Who knew?

No fucks to give=true liberation. Yes I am a gray unisex-suited Marxist. Fight the power!

I admit I did have a problem with that. It's in the title for cryin out loud. Personally I vote Heathers FTW.

TV, but still...

Wow, someone else who liked I've Heard the Mermaids Singing. I thought I was the only person who remembered it. Very good, although sad! Are lesbian films automatically exempt? I would like to add this one:

I guess I see your point, I just don't especially relate to the disappointment part. It was sex (meaning I got what I went out for), it's over now, and attractive or not it's someone I'll likely never see again. The fact is at that particular time they were "attractive enough" for me. That's the way the…

Ms. Banks is by far the superior of the 2 "Az(e)al(i)a's". I should know.

I assume there's a reason for these parables. Incest is a pretty strong taboo, but I figure it wouldn't need to exist if there weren't people who wanted to do it.

I'm glad they did a good job. I had a friend who had his face mauled (he has no memory of it other than being drunk at a party and "petting" a dog). He vastly prefers his new nose. It doesn't really look like the nose everyone gets when they get elective rhinoplasty done — usually what gives those away is the the…

If you're searching for the absolutely ideal one-night stand candidate, yeah. The point is that alcohol enables you want whoever is sitting next to you. The big example in the article above used to illustrate this point is dudes banging women they would find unattractive when sober, because they are drunk. I would…

I guess you could call it "attraction", in the sense that as sexual beasts there is a baseline sexual tension with every other human on earth with a pulse. People can sleep with their own mothers if they get drunk enough. I know everyone likes to think that their own set of criteria for what turns them on is very…

Stranger things have happened. In a sense, all pets can be life savers. I swear my cats would come and cuddle with me more often when I was more depressed. Of course that's probably my bias showing, but if you're adopting for altruistic reasons, one good reason to feel good about choosing a cat is that 70% of…

Fact: I dated a guy in Salinas and every night I spent there I tried to sleep over the sound of the neighbor downstairs screaming at his kid, punctuated by loud thumps.
