So basically you dated an asshole who decided to kick you in the nuts on the way out the door...

That really has nothing to do with your height and everything to do with assholes gonna ass...

General rule for clothes: if you’re a hard-to-find size, get the size that fits around your most inconvenient parts and tailor the rest to fit. Mentally add the $20 to the price tag for tailoring if the shop doesn’t do in-house alterations.

One of the most important parts of sexual compatibility is being what (Official NerdLove Celebrity Patronus) Dan Savage calls “Good, Giving and Game” - that is, good in bed, giving of pleasure and game for trying things within reason.

Being willing to do something (or let a partner do something) that does nothing for…

At the literal same time? That’s not even sitcom material; at least then somebody would have to be running to different tables at the restaurant.

Are you familiar with Hanlon’s Razor? Never attribute something to malice when ignorance is just as likely?

I became a nervous flyer (not afraid of flying per se but certain things make me tense) in my late 20s after a really nasty storm over the Pacific made flying back from Hong Kong a freaking nightmare. First time I ever became convinced I was going to die. Ever since then, turbulence makes me tense up.
