Thank you. This is exactly how I feel. I tried being in an open relationship (or rather, I was the girlfriend in someone else's open marriage, and dated a couple of other dudes who were similarly putting it about). After about a year, I looked around and realised that fucking, dates, and planning for fucking and dates…

WOOOO! DIVA CUP ONSLAUGHT!

Chip butties are love. I can't believe they aren't a big thing in America.

Not getting hot red mess all up in your fingernails and cuticles that needs deep scrubbing out, for one thing. Pass for the Crumpett on this one.

I also feel guilty, but I am an American. I know no shame. I will use my Kotex compact plastic applicator super plugs, the environment be damned!

Moved to London with $1000 bucks, met a guy on my second day, BAM! Married at 23. He was from money. We had a lot of fun for 9 or so years, then one day it wasn't.

WORD. Personally, I do not like to put my fingers inside my beautiful ladyflower when the spice is flowing.

Don't know what it's like in LV, but my experience in LA is that the cops tell you you better have some pretty compelling evidence of a rape before the DA will even look at bringing charges. "Oh, you don't have much physical evidence? Okay. How about you call your alleged attacker and get him to admit he did it and we…

A much referenced "statistic" that I have never seen any proof for. I know quite a few people who have been in "international" marriages, whom I met because I joined a forum for people immigrating to the US. Back then I was living in the UK, and my husband and I decided to move to the US. We broke up about 2 years…

You remember that stupidass "Always Wear Sunscreen" video Baz Luhrmann did? Well, the bit about always wearing sunscreen is correct, even if the entire video is saccharine yuck. I've been wearing sunscreen every day since I was 14. I'm turning 40 in 13 days and I have zero wrinkles. You are still young so WEAR…

For me, having shared cultural, political and generational experiences is important. My beloved and I have 8 days between us, which pretty much insures that all the crappy film and dodgy music references one of us makes the other one will get. We're pop culture junkies, so this is good for us. I was in another…

Have you seen the documentary "Seeking Asian Female"? It was on PBS recently. The documentarian, who was third generation (or more) Chinese American had run into the same issue growing up, and decided to address the topic on film.

Holy hell, I've seen that site! Yep, do not let them get Westernized or else they will become like CABA (Canadian-American-British-Australian) women in their sweatpants and Uggs, shovelling Fritos into their gobs, demanding money, sucking mens' souls, etc etc.

Like the Aria/Ezra thing on Pretty Little Liars. I got to a point that when they were on screen I just tuned out because that is a man with a girl. BARF. My BFF's marriage broke down when she discovered her schoolteacher husband was having an affair with a 16-year-old female pupil. Fuck that shit.

And then two years later, you get the guy coming on saying "She scammed me!!! She left me and all I did was love her. WHORE. How fast can I petition for another one after the divorce? I'm back on Cherry Blossoms and I've been talking to some REAL women who aren't scammers and know how to treat a man right."

It's possible. There are a few guys on there who really did appear to have bullshit convictions in the past who were being unfairly affected by IMBRA. But many are along the lines of "My evil American ex-wife (WHORE!!!!) accused me of beating her up 17 times and it was really SHE who beat ME up and now I can't get my…

I don't really have a problem with age gaps (live and let live, etc). But it's the guys who see the relationship as being solely based on love and devotion, because young Asian women just want to serve old white men and give their love with no strings attached. There's also a lot of bragging about how the American men…

Bill Thompson is a good guy. I worked on a project with him many, many moons ago and I was very impressed with his judgment and consensus-building. He's a no-drama dude, to be sure, but honestly, sometimes that's what you want. I live in LA and we just elected Eric Garcetti as mayor, whom I voted for precisely because…

Do it! I'm about to celebrate my second anniversary with my superdude, whom I met on OKCupid, and I have four sets of friends who are long-term, happy relationships with people they met on there as well. It ain't pretty to start with, and it can be crazy and disheartening at times, but it can really be worth it.

If he thinks anything more than a 14 year age gap is weird and unacceptable, he would go down like a lead balloon on an internet forum I frequent. It's dedicated to Americans bringing their non-US citizen fiances/spouses to the US, and there are many, MANY 50+ men on there petitioning for their 18-25 Filipina…
