It is completely absurd to have to say "I have a boyfriend." What is that - "oh, I can't be your property, I'm someone else's already?" Plus the guys who say "if there's no ring there's still hope," and the guys who disregard even marriage as an obstacle. You're not interested, full stop. You don't owe them a reason.

Whoa, hey now, "rape culture" is not a thing. Let's not hurt men's feelings by use of the term!

I'm also perplexed by the odd mental gymnastics these guys go through - "All women are awful! I hate women! But I really want one of these people I hate to have around! Hey, where are you going? I really liked you, you bitch!"

I know right? :) The best part of that was I didn't even mention my cat in my profile other than checking the box in the "do you have pets" thing. So he scrolled through everything to determine whether I have I cat and asked about her.

I had this idea in my head that tinder was specifically for gay hookups, and my husband, who usually the one clueless about these things told me I was wrong and that's grindr. And that's when I officially felt fully out of touch with "what kids these days are doing."

It was The Psychopath Next Door. I'll have to read Snakes in Suits if I ever work for a psychopath again, but mercifully my profession doesn't attract very many of them.

It was The Psychopath Next Door. I truly wish I had had time to read it while working for someone I am convinced is a psychopath, but I was working 80-90 hours a week. I am still somewhat convinced I would be currently more successful if I had understood how to deal with that woman.

When I was online dating at 22 - 24, I was disturbed by the number of older men going through a divorce who would message me. They always had rather enticing profiles too - they were into reading, and arts, and music, and they wanted to take ballroom dance lessons with me! And guys my age were like "I like keg stands…

The profession does have a much higher than average rate of sociopathy. My citation is "book I read two years ago about sociopaths," but no one will convince me this is not true.

I'm disturbed by how many men think they are straight up entitled to women after giving a "compliment." It's part of rape culture - men have some internalized that they are entitled to a woman and that this kind of rage is an acceptable response to minor rejection.

What kimbersays... said! I met my husband online even. So many weirdos, and then this cute boy messaged me asking my cat's name. And even before then, despite the weirdos, plenty of lovely polite people I just didn't click with. These bad apples really do stink up the whole barrel though.

The last 10 are the hardest to lose and always seems to be where I give up. I'm happy enough where I'm at that the effort isn't worth it.

I do stuff like that all the time. I know you're not supposed to exercise to make up for poor eating habits, but whatever. I'm metabolizing the sugar. It's not in my system anymore. It has not been converted to fat or whatever bad things it does. Or that's what I tell myself.

This! I followed the link to this article from another because I was so annoyed at the idea that I must like talking about my job. People have some really hurtful misconceptions about my job and I have a very thin skin about that. I actually did hate my career for quite a while because of those assumptions, but I've…

This! And don't get your heart set on "panda caretaker," you and 99% of the people who want to do that will be sorely disappointed.

I have worked at many a vet office and cannot tell you how many times I have reached for a treat jar looking thing assuming it was for humans and then realized it was for dogs. I have never gotten all the way to picking one up, but I always feel very taunted. In my defense, vet clinics often do have things for humans…

So do the wine and exercise offset a severe sugar addiction?

I had an x-ray that was totally normal. My primary and physical therapist kept telling me it's tendinitis or impingement, which I thought was BS and the ortho surgeon I saw agreed that it wasn't that but she couldn't determine what was wrong there. She said an MRI wasn't "medically necessary." I might still go for a…

Depends on the cat. I have one cat who's super good and pliable, and another who laughs in the face of our training efforts. She's the one who likes treats, and if you try to reward her with a treat for something, she's basically like "I'm onto you human!"

I cannot sleep on my back. I really wish I could. I had to laugh at the shoulder one - DUH don't sleep on the bad side! The worst though is that that's all I want to do. I downright fantasize about rolling over on that side. What's annoying is I can do most other things just fine with my shoulder or a perfectly…
