So funny. I'm a 41 year old mother of a 4 year old and I am juuuuuuust starting to feel like something things might not be age appropriate for me. And I'm talking a dress like a teenager might wear. Kind of like this:

Holy crap, my life has meaning again! He must do hair removal! THERE IS HOPE!

HAH! That's funny because I want to (and, let's face it, DO) have a crush on Benedict Cumberbatch, but his relative hairlessness bothers the hell out of me. I mean, it's not a complete deal-breaker. But it's close.

Honestly? The being shy and socially awkward part is the biggest "problem." Not your acne scars. Some women will be turned off by acne scars. Some won't. Just like some women are turned off by baldness... some are turned on by it.

You should do whatever makes you happy regarding chest hair. But I'd like you to know that there are PLENTY of us that like a hairy stomach (and chest!)

And anything you can do (cooking, dressing well, etc...) to build up your confidence is a plus. FYI, when I met my husband, I thought he was so confident. He was very…

ME TOO! My husband keeps threatening to get LASIK, and I'm all PLEASE GOD NO!!!"

When I went on a first date with my (now) husband, he showed up with flowers. FLOWERS! Plus, he'd made a reservation at a restaurant that he'd picked out. And, when he asked me out, he said something like "I'd love to take you to dinner."

Holy crap! THAT, my friends, is a "real man."

Up until then (and I was 30!) it was…

a) Why are you trying to get rid of your "goddamed hair?" (Personally? I'm not into guys with no body hair. I was deeply in love with Benedict Cumberbatch until I saw him with no shirt on). Body hair is sexy despite everything we're being force-fed in the media.
b) You can't go wrong with jeans & a t-shirt (in my…

My ex-husband used to say that I had ridiculous expectations from romance movies and for a long time, I believed him. Needless to say, we are no longer married.

I like it when a guy goes up his t-shirt to scratch his chest, and you see his stomach. It's the hottest thing ever. I also like it when the stomach is hairy. (not "out of control" hairy... but manly).

Also: stretching.

I also think it's really hot when a guy checks the oil in the car. I once went to second base with a…

A young Bloggess?

I'm curious as to how you know they're having sex. When I was around 12, I was CONVINCED that everyone (other than me) was having sex. I totally talked and acted like I, too, was having sex. I had the filthiest mouth you can imagine. I didn't lose my virginity until I was 21. I thought I was a complete freak for it,…

HAHAH! Just like me, in my living room a few years ago when I re-watched the series. I kept reading about how people didn't like her because she shook up the dynamic or whatever. No. She was just plain awful.

Yeah, I think this was mostly older people with kids. How to predict something like that? It was mid-day on a Saturday.

Awesome! I'm 41. I'm sure no one would notice ;)

Oh, I've been told this over and over. My friend has friends who have Buffy sing-a-long parties that he goes to, but he's on the wrong coast :(

And if I woke up, tomorrow, with curly hair, I would be so so happy! Grass is always greener.

So I was super excited about this until...

Wow. That's just awful. Lots of hugs being sent your way. Can you send an anonymous letter? She probably won't break up with him or anything, but maybe it will put it in her head and she'll have more of an eye out for that sort of thing.

I was not able to, so this really hit home for me. I remember finding out that MY molester was working at a school for kids (he also taught swimming at summer camps), and I felt so sick. And completely unable to confront him. I'm 41, I DON'T consider myself "messed up" and I still can't/won't confront him (even if I…
