I’ve had plenty of one-night stands. When someone asks if they were good my first response is always, “Well, he didn’t try to kill me.” Sometimes I will even say, “Thanks for not trying to kill me.” (I do it with a laugh and a smile so it’s not weird but I can’t help myself because I really am thankful). It’s always a…

I always talk to my guy friends who use OKC and they’re always like “yeah, the male experience on OKC is unfortunately like a million times better than the female experience.” I could always only do it for a month or so tops, because my patience for creepy guys wore really thin after a while.

Longtime Jez fan, first time poster. I created this account just now because Jackie was a casual friend of mine and I’m the one who sent the story into Jezebel. Just wanted to say thank you so much for using my tip and posting her story. Jackie was a funny, charming, kind young woman and we are trying to get her story…

right? and that they Nice Guys of OKC are actually (comparatively) nice guys.

Yeah, that bit literally gave me goosebumps.

So the takeaway is that tinder is the safer way to meet guys...

I believe it’s Laura Richards who says “stalking is murder in slow motion.” We have to start treating stalking, dv, and sexual violence as huge red flags for murderers :(

It would be nice if later when the dust is settled she could support abused women and children who don’t have the same resources.

Interesting thought. Like when there are few real limits on what you can do for a long time, the normal internal restraints start to get saggy from disuse?

Well, if this is indeed true, I have her back. I actually tremendously respect a parent instantly taking action rather than putting it down to a slip up or a one time thing that just repeats itself.

“The Notebook” is the most garbage-ass movie. Any pleasure derived from it should be accompanied by Raskolnikov-in-Siberia levels of guilt.

Rage stroke. RAGE. STROKE. Women contain multitudes. We are not a monolith. We are individual people with individual needs and preferences. What does this one want? Not the same shit as the lady in the cubical next to me, that’s what. Just like everyone else.

I have only one request for a car “for ladies”-- a place to put my fucking purse that’s not the passengers seat! How hard is that?

The manual seems like it’s the only non-patronizing thing about the car.

even amidst my staggering flummoxation, i have to admit, that color is gorgeous.

Did she? I recall her being heavily involved in some reading program, but my perspective may be skewed as I was often working with kids and was probably more exposed to such programs.
