It's not necessarily that being sexually attracted becomes less important, just that one's looks becomes a less important component of sexual attraction. At least I'd like to think so.

Yet another person looking for the best. Still surprised by this?

You want a real relationship with a guy who's mature but also has great abs? Nothing wrong with that, just be aware that they might be looking for someone other than you.

It's not that women like assholes, it's that the guys women like are the ones who can get away with being assholes.

The guys I know in their thirties and forties who are dating 25-year-olds tend not to be on the mature end of the spectrum, in my experience.

Yeah, it sounds like I'm in a similar place; I'm a straight white (somewhat) young urban professional who is used to dealing with lots of people from different backgrounds, particularly in the tech industry where I work and where there are a ton of immigrants from different parts of the world and where lots of my good…

I originally didn't really see why having a black president was such a big deal—I voted for him as the best candidate. But damn if he hasn't brought all the racists crawling out of the woodwork. It's probably the little things that get me the most: the suggestions that Obama shouldn't be able to take vacations to his…

Bravo, good sir or madam, bravo.

But you're suggesting that penis has a distinct flavor that can be captured and translated into a set of artificial additives available to food producers. Is this true? What exactly does it taste like? FD&C Yellow #3?

Hmm, I thought they were supposed to go eat a bag of salted dicks. Am I confusing my disgusting imagery?

Sure, anything can be used as a weapon. Some weapons are more effective than others. How many people died in that attack you linked to?

So it's okay for Bryan Fischer's god to kill a bunch of innocent children because he disagrees with the First Amendment as interpreted by the Supreme Court? And we are supposed to worship this god? How does Mr. Fischer know that this isn't just his god's way of expressing his displeasure with the Second Amendment…

Agreed. This isn't the time to actually do anything about those deaths. How uncouth.

"As a conservative Republican, I believe that we have been stupid…." He should've stopped there.

You're mixing up causation and correlation.

And what is birth control other than an explicit attempt to deal with (i.e. preempt) the potential consequences of unprotected sex? This is what dealing with the consequences looks like!

I don't know how well the Lysistrata strategy has worked in practice. (The Lysistrategy?)

It's cute that you think conservatives being pro-individual is a fact, too. (Well, not that you really think that way.)

Good points. Sometimes not taking the initiative indicates lack of interest, sometimes it indicates that the person wouldn't make a good partner anyways.

Yeah, I agree, it is logical to think that way. I've just had the experience of screwing up situations where I was interested but didn't act on it, whether out of nervousness or distraction or some other stupid reason. Then again, if I'm not willing to take the initiative in that small way then I'm not much of a…
