i second the person who asked what you’re doing on your dates. have you tried picking a spot/activity that lends itself well to conversation? i met my dude off the internet and he took me to a science museum for our first date. the museum had an after-hours 21+ event with drinks and stuff, so we got drinks and…

I dated a Scientologist as a younger person (another story - he’s insane) and went to one of their cult meetings in SFand the inside of that building is sooooo cool (old SF architecture, tons of weird open rooms and beautiful arches) and sooooo gross because of Scientology.

I love this.

And also, MANY teachers work through the summer and have side hustles during the year because being a teacher pays so terribly.

or a relationship at all; they were broken up and he showed up at her house while she was asleep in bed with another man.

I haven’t. I struggled with plenty of other stuff as a teenager/young woman, but food/eating has never been an issue for me. I didn’t realize how widespread it is until I was grown.

so because you find a picture of a woman “ugly,” you’re feeling less inclined to listen to what the poster has to say?

but she’s still wrong. it should have been “my kids and me.”

That’s an intensely ignorant thing to say.

these are all good points.

Gay Straight Alliance ....

LOL

You should probably watch the show haha.

Look at what you wrote. Now imagine if that was a young woman and you were a guy drooling over a soon-to-be-legal girl. It is not more ok just because this child happens to be male. How many goddamn time does this have to be discussed??

I have lived in SF my entire life (except when I went to college very nearby) and that in my lifetime it has ALWAYS been the case that certain people do not feel safe going through certain parts of the city. When I was a kid white people didn’t go to the Mission, for example, unless they wanted Mexican food or to get…

THIS. I’m living at home again a few years after college and my mom works + is in school and my dad has crippling depression/anxiety/other stuff and so I’ve ended up being a caregiver for my little brothers, who are still kids. I get super down about it, I have tons of anxiety and stress that a 24-year-old doesn’t…

Hell - I’m 5’10, 145lbs, young and athletic, and it wouldn’t take more than 2 men to restrain me.

Doulas are linked to much lower rates of emergency c-sections and to fewer unwanted interventions in general (inductions, forceps, etc.). Many doulas work with their clients to draw up "birth plans" detailing all the options the mom has and how she would like the birth to go (i.e. which interventions/drugs she…

I work at a pizza place (higher end, but still pizza) and the drivers do NOT make that much. Minimum wage + tips, and they have to pay for their own gas, car maintenance, insurance, and parking meters when they're waiting for orders to be ready for delivery. And the stories they tell are AMAZING (as in, I am amazed…

Other readers have mentioned this, butttttt for a blog devoted largely to decrying the objectification of WOMEN (not people at large, apparently), there sure is a lot of objectification going on here. I appreciate a sexy man as much as the next straight girl, but I don't appreciate objectification of ANYONE.…
