There is not a single incidence of male bashing on this entire thread. This is a website aimed predominantly at women, and the topic is bad online dating experiences, so mostly women are responding with stories of their bad dating experiences.

It was 1994 and I had just moved to a new city to start my life as a Grown Ass Woman. My roommate turned me on to these new things "AOL" and "chat rooms" and I soon joined a "chat" with others in my new city. While chatting with this one cool woman about my interest in finding a job in advertising or law, she…

I have so, so many online dating horror stories.

So, I had just left a long term relationship in which my boyfriend had a child with another woman while we were together, and managed to hide the pregnancy and resulting kid from me (while me and the boyfriend lived together!) for the first three months of said child's life.

Speaking of getting naked, why didn't Dany tell Missandei that she and Grey Worm can do things that don't involve his dick (or lack thereof)? USE YOUR MOUTHS, DUMMIES.

I'd check this out, but I've already filed an adoption application for this handsome pup.

I got a puppy.... I GOT A PUPPY! *happy dance*

Today, I baked pretzel buns from scratch. It was so fucking easy! I told Mr. Barge that I should just bake a couple loaves of bread every weekend. It's not hard and we would know what was in our bread.

You know what? I finally bit the bullet and let my psych prescribe me medication to address my crippling BDD and eating disorder.
