It’s not that he’s bad looking, right? But he just looks like a nice looking guy on any street. Nothing about him stands out. I don’t know, it’s tough to explain. I’m just glad there are others like me and I’m no longer alone in my RG Mehness.

BDT isn’t my cup of tea, but I get it. He’s got the same unconventional hotness as Adam Driver.

I’m a straight gal and Ryan Gosling doesn’t do it for me. He’s not bad looking by any means, and he seems smart and self-aware, both of which increase a guy’s sexiness tenfold. But to me he looks sort of ordinary.

He gets that a lot.

I’m *really* pale.

I had a friend who found smoke grey hose with sort of a reddish tint at JC Penney’s. (Why do I remember these things?). I thought they’d look really nice with the dress and they did.

It wasn’t a ponytail, but totally ended up looking like that in the pictures. It was kind of a twist thing with curls that looked better on the model in the magazine. :)

I found a picture of it! Notice the Payless Dyeables shoes.

Your mom sucks. Your prom was seriously at a gay club? How cool is that?

My mom didn’t make my dress, but she did make my date a matching tie and cummerbund! His parents were really impressed by that. They even mentioned it to me a few years ago at his wedding!

Dude! This issue was out my senior year, the only time I went to prom. I may very well have had this exact magazine.

I’m the same age as you and agree with your assessment. I think the author is trying to highlight the differences between the two generation as a reason for the acceptance of hookups when it really has more to do with personality. I’ve been married for quite a while, but in my single days I kept sex within the…

And who thinks of Joseph Stalin in any way other than a quiet poet who enjoyed cowboy movies?

Oh, I don’t know. I could see Ted’s alien overlords instructing him to sleep with women in hopes of mimicking actually human behavior.

Didn’t Anonymous release a video a few days ago claiming they had dirt on him?

Glad she’s OK. If nothing else, I need to ask her how she got with Gabriel Byrne. I know it didn’t last and they’ve been divorced for eons, but GABRIEL BYRNE.

Well. That’s kind of the ultimate ghosting.

Was the transition from supportive to toxic slow or quick for your friend?

I wonder if the fact that the OP’s husband stayed kind of made their plan backfire. Obviously I don’t know any of the participants, but her description of the event makes me think that the others *wanted* him to come to the bar only to have him make a bit of a scene and have a laugh about it after he left. The fact…

Yep. My former best friend and I haven’t spoken in almost five years. We’d been friends for over 20 years. In the 2-3 years leading up to our parting, it was a constant emotional roller coaster with her. She’d accuse me of horrible things I never did or said, was bitingly cynical about everything, and generally became…
