Thanks for sharing parts of your profile with us! You sound like a fun-loving, sweet girl and I'm excited that you're breaking out of your shell/routine in this way. These are just the impressions of someone who doesn't know you (which I guess might be useful), so take or leave my feedback with that grain of salt.…

Have a friend that you trust take a look at your profiles and and see if s/he has any feedback. I've looked over a friend's profiles before and was able to see ways that she could make it more concise (you're just giving an impression...you want them to message you if they want to see more) and approachable.

Those kind of profiles always made me a little bit curious because obviously that was what happened in their last dating experience. I guess it makes sense to try to articulate what you're looking for so you don't have the same kind of bad experience again, but these guys are just so bad at it. Instead of "No Drama…

Six actually seems like a lot, if it's people you actually know (not just a friend of a friend, or something like that).

Haha, I almost made a prima nocta joke earlier. Although, I'd want a way higher price tag on that pledge reward. Like, "Cover all costs of the wedding."

I guess I would say that apathy shouldn't be a fwb dealbreaker, as long as he's not apathetic about the sex.

For real? With Kickstarter?! Or one of those other "fund me" things? Ugh.

I really, really wish I had some advice, but I'm even worse at doling it out than I am applying it to my own life. I'm in pretty much the same boat school/job-wise (babysitting...that's why I got a Master's, right?). When my first boyfriend broke up with me and then moved back to town, I literally moved away. I don't…

I'm interested in why you think he doesn't think you're super hot, or why that's an issue for you. Obviously, you want to feel attractive and desired, that's perfectly natural. Does he say or do things that make you feel unattractive? Definitely do not put up with that shit. Or is it that you're initiating the…

Oh, shit...they are!

Haha, no; to my knowledge, no one has any actually tried to crowd-source their wedding budget...yet.

So sexy!

Has anyone ever tried to do a Kickstarter for a wedding? 'Cause that's basically what some of these brides are trying to negotiate.

Although my dad has definitely become more susceptible to "girly" things over the years thanks to me, my mom, and my sister, it still cracks me up that he watches The Time Traveler's Wife whenever it's on TV. And it's on Lifetime a lot. He says that not girly because 1) science fiction and 2) Eric Bana.

There is a super mild-mannered, demure grandma-type in my old office who loved to pop her head into my office and say, "Happy Hump Day!" on Wednesdays. I have no idea if she has any idea about the double meaning.

...Sinéad?

What bugged me the most about those photos were the reflections of the flash and fucking Terry Richardson in the mirror! It's not enough that they're provocative photos of Miley in a thong...they're even MORE shocking because HE'S taking them. He's gross, but those photos made him look like a shitty photographer and a…

And let's be honest: This is all for shock value. There are no statements being made about female sexual power, it's not a commentary on culture or art, it doesn't raise questions about How We Live Now. Attention for the sake of attention is pointless. ... The problem with all these half-naked pop stars is that they fa…

I read that essay a couple times a year and I always send it to people who are like, "Now, I believe in equal rights for women, but I'm no femin—" "YES, YOU ARE."
