Do you mean Allison, maybe? I always thought Hildy seemed liked one of the more world-weary secretaries.

I really don't like her. She's a trope in a show that doesn't really do tropes. But I liked that scene, too. Don's permanent confused-constipation face was never more fitting.

Yeah, what's great and disturbing about Ginsberg is that it's clear he's insane in retrospect. I felt like he was a real person and I had been laughing at the signs of his mental illness all along.

Definitely not Ken. His spirit is completely broken at this point. The only person more miserable than him is Ted.

The fact that he was better than Don (and Don knew it) makes his break-down all the more tragic. I was really hoping he would start rising in rank after the snow-cone thing.

I believe her cover album did come out around that time. She played Tom Waits' "Time" on Letterman a few days after 9/11.

I gotta say, I've never understood why people love Sally so much. Her storylines are all always so coming-of-age typical (being a brat, having a difficult relationship with a distant mother, getting her period, liking a boy who only sees her as a friend) and bore the hell out of me. The only time I remember liking her…

I'm assessing based on what you've said in this conversation, which amounts to far more evidence that you have when you assume that women won't date you because they're shallow bitches. Everything you've said indicates that you're unwilling to accept any responsibility for your situation. You're not willing to give…

But isn't it worth making yourself feel better if your guilt is detrimental to the relationship (ie, ultimately hurting them)?

I can understand your point. It just seems like such a blameless thing to have become such a massive lie. I hate the idea of carrying around that burden. I also hate the idea of being in the wife's position and being ignorant about a situation that was so formative for my S.O.

I agree. He's going to feel guilty about it every time she brings it up, and anyone who's too immature to eventually get over the fact that she didn't take her husband's virginity isn't worth being married to, anyway.

Gee, I wonder why a guy filled to the eardrums with bitterness against women and their imagined superficial slights against him would take issue with ladies getting together and talking about how hot Christian Grey is.

Charming! Who wouldn't want to date you?

"Passionate" and "compassionate" are not the qualities that you're demonstrating in this discussion. I'm not going to pretend I know what your personality is like, but in this conversation you come across as elitist and entitled (feeling "lied to" as a kid because you can't get laid is such an incredibly entitled…

Yeah no, never watch the movie. In light of your comments, I realize now what a great disservice it is to his victims. I liked it at the time I saw it years ago because it made me feel very strange. Now I realize that was because they took Dahmer's very unglamorously horrible acts and tried to make them seem like the…

Thanks for being understanding and for talking about this in a way that reinforces sympathy for the victims. Something you said about there being a "mystique" about a good-looking serial killer really changed how I feel about it. I think people do feel a certain morbid desire to eroticize what happened (the Renner…

Usually when guys complain about this sort of thing, it's because they feel entitled to beautiful women. A lot of that has to do with both our social structure (men get to own things) and our pop culture (constantly reinforcing the fact that a man just has to figure out that one little "trick" that causes an otherwise…

Ignore this. Just saw your other posts in this thread and didn't realize how close you were to the actual situation and I can't imagine it's fun to relive or talk about his appearance. I'm sorry you went through that.

He was a very good-looking guy, actually. I thought that was always brought up in discussions about him, because he was able to lure guys in fairly easily?

No, hon, I didn't. It's an unfortunate fact of life that no one except 17-year-old boys in comedy films can successfully seduce people who are significantly more attractive than they are.
