You were right! How bout that?

Why is clarity so difficult???

This is annoyingly inexplicable because text and email makes it possible to contact people without confrontation or hearing their disappointment or whatever it is people are such wusses about. Assholes who do not have this wee bit of consideration and leave you hanging should be left in the dust.

It’s the worst! One time I was so upset, (actually at the bar texting my would be date 45 minutes after the time we agreed to meet) I gave him such a what for that he showed up fifteen minutes later and paid my bar tab.

Hear you 100%. I’ve been feeling a similar way since Christmas. Everyone around me is getting engaged and having kids, and I am hopelessly single, insanely stressed out at work and it is crippling when I really feel bad about that. I haven’t had a boyfriend for 3+ years, those of which I’ve spent being on and off with…

LOL. Second on all the dudes who seem to be into polyamory. I personally don’t buy it (and don’t want it). I’m extremely dubious of guys who claim to be into it on social media — it sounds great for them, but not so much for me :-/

Random confession: I feel like I’ve been doing poorly emotionally. The start of this month was the two-year anniversary of my last breakup, and I really haven’t dated anyone since. The day after that unhappy anniversary, my ex tried to add me back on Facebook. We tried staying friends for a long time after the breakup…

I have never understood this. Based on the stuff I’m learning from The Rise of Orange Foolious, I’m wondering if they are projecting. Like, if someone turned them down flat or called to cancel, they’d be angry/devastated, so they assume you would be, too?

My neighbors’ 14-year-old son thinks so. He keeps texting me to ask when I’ll be done with the second act.

After 10 years, I finished paying off my student loans today! *High fives all around*

There isn’t a right person for everybody. But hearing that asinine message all the time will make someone keep marrying because she thinks she’s finally found Him.

That is one helluva face. I wouldn’t be able to resist.

Oh honey. Do not worry! You are far too young to worry about stuff like this. It’s more important for you to feel emotionally fulfilled by yourself. Having a boyfriend or a husband is not going to magically fill a hole you feel you have by not having someone.

I’m old enough to have been to a Playboy Club back in the day and they weren’t a fancier version of Hooters unless fancier means more expensive. Servers were much less uncomfortable than customers, but that probably comes with seeing assholes day after day. I’m going to state the obvious, but no one would see bringing…

1970s guy said, “I only buy it for the interviews.”

All of these things, yes. Treat me like someone you find interesting and want to get to know, and I’m usually happy to get to know you. The one other thing is don’t hit on 25-year-olds and then get offended because they want other 25-year-olds. I’m in my 30s, and it amazes me how many men around my age or older are…

Thanks! Unfortunately the advice to comb hair is no longer applicable in my case, but I was certainly planning on doing everything else you suggest.

The people who get laid the least? Fucking weirdo dudes who are obsessed with getting laid. Meet people. Treat them like people. More often then you think, these people will want to have sex with you if you behave like this.

Wow.

It is, of course, but doing what you want with your body isn’t a feminist act if it contributes to or complies with the oppression of women.
