You know Ioften hear women saying the time they spent enjoying with other women was the best time of their lives. Makes me think the whole attaching yourself to a male and putting him first for the rest of your life, the whole nuclear family concept is really leading to unhappiness or women. Im sure in tribal…

I would rather be alone, then with some idiot.

If someone hasn’t asked “So, how about you? Do you do X?” after 3 or 4 significant chunks of conversation about them (because that’s just how the conversation went), it’s pretty much a guarantee they’ll never ask, ever.

If you accept that 99% of lovely single men in their 40s are either (secretly) gay, divorced, or tragically widowed, it’ll make it easier.

I am strongly of the belief that the only reason 100% of couples don’t divorce is because lawyers are expensive.

all recently separated middle-aged straight men release a unique pheromone that makes them irresistible to all women

I will say dating online in your 20s is MUCH different than in your 40s/50s. I used it in my 20s and had soooo many choices. Once you age out it’s a totally different story.

Yeah, the “WTF/who ARE these people/how is that POSSIBLE” comments that make it sound like kids who don’t masturbate are exhibits in a freak show don’t feel particularly nice to read. I didn’t really know masturbation was a thing women could do until I was in college - I mean, I was vaguely aware that women…

I’m done with online dating. Like. Done done. In three months, I have had dates with two people with a history of domestic violence, one with a wife, and the least offensive one had visible ear wax. Very sweet, but it grossed me out. Before making it to a date, I have been cussed out numerous times, asked multiple…

People who discover their bodies in different ways and are as normal as those who start younger? I don’t think you were meaning to judge, but as someone who didn’t start masturbating until high school these kinds of comments can come off as “what’s wrong with you?”. Nothing is wrong with a ten year old who has sexual…

Thanks for saying this. I also felt like some of these comments were judge-y. It’s totally cool if someone starts masturbating when they’re younger, but there’s also nothing wrong with starting in high school/post high school. Everyone discovers their body in their own way, and scoffing at people because they did it…

Who are these people? Well they’re people who are not like you. Crazy I know. Everybody is different. I didn’t masturbate until I was 23. Before that, I had no desire to. I have a low libido. It happens. I’m not sure shaming people who aren’t exactly like you when it comes to sex is the right way to go.

Night hiking seems kind of dangerous.

Right. If they were taking orders for iPads and not delivering then no one would question it. But it’s something that is important to women, so it’s stupid and everyone has to chime in to decide what these women’s priorities should be.

Time and money for other things, yes! My husband and I waffle between wanting to work with what we’ve got or shop for something bigger in a couple of years. But our mortgage would increase so much if we upgraded. In the last couple of years we’ve finally “made it” in that we’re no longer underemployed and living…

The good. Business is growing and i’m 80% toward my big milestone goal in one aspect of my business. Also, my husband — very surprisingly — planned a surprise birthday brunch at a cafe that I’ve been wanting to go to for a while now AND got me tickets to see a fav comedian (also a surprise). So cool.

The man I was dating before I left the country for a short-term internship seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth. He didn’t respond when I emailed him; I figured he’d changed his mind, I told my friends and they told me he was trash. Guess who’s finally come crawling out of the woodwork? So now I’m trying…

No, there’s nothing wrong with you. You can do everything in your power to be a reasonably marriageable person and still not be able to find someone you want to marry who also wants to marry you.

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens
