“You’re too picky/you’re not picky enough” is my pretty regular feedback on the topic. It’s now unknown for the same person to say both on the same day.

The beauty of enjoying your own company is you’re happy to show the door to anyone whose company you don’t enjoy.

“Never ever ever give up.”

It’s not so much the shitass advice, it’s how huffy people get when you tell them that it’s not only shitass advice, but you already tried it and it didn’t work.

I have a formerly childfree, now adoring mother for a friend who sometimes consults me about dealing with her other childfree friends because I’m not a dick about it. (Some of us really can be dicks about it.) I’ve told her more than once that saying “You can never understand!” does sound condescending but if they’re…

I’m middle aged and childfree. I find the kid talk boring AF but also get you talk about what matters to you and of course your kids really matter. You’d be a shitty parent if they didn’t.

I didn’t get past the first paragraph.

I once opened the door drunk and invited them in. We had a conversation about my ignosticism (not agnosticism) and I didn’t realize until they left that they spent the whole conversation looking at me sitting underneath my target from my last visit from the shooting range. I was proud and hung it up because I killed…

I love aromatherapy because I like mixing my own diffuser scents. They smell good and don’t give me headaches like scented candles do. These “EOs cure hepatitis!” people are the reason I mostly keep that information to myself.

It was on Pinterest so it must be true. That and the exercises to give me a visible clavicle. (I swear to God I actually saw the clavicle exercise shit.)

Until you want to pay your check and go home. Then the server is nowhere to be found.

But saying “eating garbage might kill you” doesn’t get your study headlines!

I eat pretty much every meal alone and am confident this study doesn’t apply to me as I dislike feeling like garbage and therefore mostly eat non-garbage.

Cinnamon? Pfft. It’s okra, bitch. ;)

Arrrrggh!!! As of today it’s not even an option anymore!

I would agree except I know exactly the kind of man my mom would pick for me. No thanks!

Then at least you know right away what kind of woman I am and can’t claim surprise later. ;)

Before I got the hang of online dating, if I messaged with someone interminably with no mention of meeting, I would invariably suggest it just to have him vanish off the face of the earth. Now I suggest it promptly and he hems and haws even the slightest, sayonara.

I don’t get all this algorithm shit. Your algorithms could match up 100% but if you meet and just don’t want to get busy with other, that “compatibility” doesn’t mean shit.

I’m 42, work on a university campus, and have hobbies that are mostly solitary and I’m way too busy to fake interest in something not solitary just to meet men, especially when it still probably wouldn’t work. All the remotely interesting, age appropriate men I meet organically, during my daily activities, are either…
