Please never inject the distracting #notall into discussions. Nobody has time to make sure every person reading something on the internet isn’t taking what the stranger said personally. It’s assumed.

As a really ancient gray haired wrinkly scared gay loner living quietly tucked away by the fire in my safe little backwoods corner of the very far north where it is still snowy winter, this article is a sunny glimpse of a warm dreamy fairy tale south full of beautiful brave people reaching for their dreams. Now that…

I adore him! He walks the walk and he is always here for black women plus size or not who need him to design for them. The Leslie thing broke my heart and then he popped up on my Twitter feed with his little hand raised and I knew sis was gonna look flawless and he delivered as usual. That dress je made for Cardi was…

This is the thing. We are supposed to be teaching the coming generations that education, intelligence, and hard work are the keys to success in life. This shit is literally praising women for participating in patriarchal and oppressive means to financial security. Imagine one of these women telling her daughter how…

I’ll never forget the episode when they had to either dress moms or plus sized women and EVERY CONTESTANT was complaining and freaking out, because up until that point they pretty much just had mannequin-sized women to dress. Siriano was the only contestant who was excited and embraced the challenge. That was the…

I don’t think you know how most relationships work nowadays. But no, a marriage is not sex work. You’re being intentionally obtuse.

I think marriage is essential in certain circumstances. The only one I can think of is if you are having a baby with someone and intend to stay together. The legal and financial provisions afforded to a married mother in the event of a divorce situation are 100 times better than if no marriage exists.

Your arguments are generalized to the point of being useless.

Not to start anything, but what’s you opinion on marriage?

Srsly, those “spreadsheet marriages” give me the creeps, where they itemize the cost of everything.

If my wife isn’t in the mood for sex I’m not going to stop paying half the rent.

No. Parsing this is simple. The SB/SD relationship is defined by a single element: money. Marriage is not.

Nah. Unless you want to define emotional attachment and fulfillment as a kind of currency or transaction. Which, you do you, but I think most people are going to take issue with is.

Thank you. That question made my stomach curdle. What the bloody blue hell? If people really do view dating/relationships as “what’s in it for me materially?”, then maybe they should start being honest with themselves— just go into the world’s oldest profession. Stop trying to pretend that it’s anything else.

Exactly. It’s also interesting that people take this attitude towards dating. Like if dating is so fucking shoddy, and your dates are always nightmares, maybe you just suck at choosing your dates. I say this as someone that dated a lot and got married at the age of 32.

Then, by this logic, every stay at home wife in the world is a sex worker.

Especially when they emphasize having multiple SDs, while you’re supposed to accept you’re one of many babies.

I... didn’t realize I was supposed to be getting anything out of having dinner with someone except for having a good time and seeing if there was potential for a long term relationship.

Like where do I even start with this asinine question...
