Unclogging a toilet doesn’t make you an “amateur plumber” anymore than watching a YouTube video does. Putting bandaids on a cut doesn’t make you a “battlefield medic.” Making three meals a day for one person doesn’t make you a “chef.”

Literally nothing in this comment accurately reflects visa policy or practice. In this particular case, the outcome is sad but very likely correct under the law (which has been around in more or less its present state for over 60 years): you cannot have a nonimmigrant visa unless you can demostrate abundantly that you…

Get rid of “in their 30's” and replace with a period. Guys. All guys. 40's. 60's. what is with men lately?

I must respectfully disagree with a couple of your points, specifically in your final paragraph. In our experience, the answer to the OP’s question of “Are things different after marriage?” is an emphatic “No!” Given, my husband and I were together for 2 years before getting engaged and another 7 before we were…

Yes to all you wrote, but, still, we all are guilty, in different degrees, but guilty.

Keep the house. Investment. You’ll burn through rent money super quickly and then be left with nada. Find roommate and up the $$!! Or rent the entire house for $$$$ and rent a small place for $$.

Given that Oregon was literally founded as a racist utopia and that the PNW still has a huge population of white supremacists, I actually think this is pretty self-aware.

I online date just for the humor. It’s never free, it’s embarrassing, it’s weird, it’s sometimes icky, it’s pointless and time consuming but at this point I have a hundred ridiculous stories all my not single ladies love hearing about. Even screenshots for my mom. She’s appalled, appalled! I love it now. Last date I…

Personally I gave my son my last name. I feel like this is pretty uncommon but I’m not sure why except tradition. I mean...I carried him for 9 months and then went through excruciatingly painful labor that nearly killed me, then kept him fed with my body for another 9 months soooo I felt it was only fair.

But the patriarchy is also responsible for the last name your husband has now. Why is yours less important than his?

I’m the person who, if I was just the target of a virulent racist tirade that ended with that person STABBING THREE PEOPLE would get the fuck away from the scene because I would have no idea if it was still safe to be there. I would also not attempt to “tended to” to the victims, because as a teenager (which these…

Oh my god. You are so right!

In my opinion he’s never had one. I don’t understand why people think he’s so attractive with that crazy weird nose and mouth.

Just because someone is a stripper doesn’t automatically mean they lack self esteem. Sexual modesty and self respect have nothing to do with each other. I don’t see people complaining about low self esteem on Channing Tatum posts, and some of the same liberals who insist on equating a lack of self respect with…

I mean...it is deplorable to be racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, and against health care for everyone. “Libtard” is a silly insult. I’ll gladly be called that name for being on the side of common sense, progress, and empathy.

Carrie was an asshole. She was horrible towards everyone. Charlotte in particular should have ended her friendship with Carrie. Especially after Carrie bullied her about her engagement ring. Friends and family are not responsible for your irresponsibility with money.

Would you rather:

I appreciate the sentiment, but I think you missed one of my earlier replies. I do many of the real-life things you mention and never meet single men. That’s part of my frustration.

I feel you, friend. 41....with no prospects in sight. Me and my dog are watching hockey tonight. I wake up a lot in the middle of the night going “How did this happen? What did I do wrong?”I’m at the point where I may need to start medicating my monkey mind to get some uninterrupted sleep. :(
