I think a lot of people either didn’t completely read Doc’s advice to the second letter or are misinterpreting what he said. He didn’t say not to tell the wife, he just said to be careful when they do and how they tell her. There’s the odds that she might not believe said friend, and even if(more like when) the truth… Read more

It’s time to come up to the lab and see what’s on the slab. Read more

Whoa dude - you need to calm down. It’s clear that he doesn’t know how to manage this relationship and that’s precisely why he wrote the letter. You don’t need to be an asshole and call him out for asking an advice column... for advice. It’s clear he doesn’t know how to handle his situation - so back the fuck off and… Read more

The doc was right, though. Far, far too many women have to use that “maybe later” kind of language to avoid potentially violent reactions from men when rejecting advances.

Holy hell, if I had to quote one thing from your articles to convince people to start reading it would 100% be this: Read more

They don’t have “whomsoever should part these legs, if they be worthy, shall have the power of Score” embroidered on their underwear. Read more

“Feel the ever-living fuck out of your feels, my dude”

This is some of the best advice a person can possibly give another person. Couldn’t agree more. <3 

Part of the problem is that you’re treating her affection like it’s a measure of your value as a person. But women ain’t Mjölnir, my dude. They don’t have “whomsoever should part these legs, if they be worthy, shall have the power of Score” embroidered on their underwear. Read more

I think you’re overthinking what was meant as a lighthearted icebreaker to the point. However... I’ll bite!
