Its hard to articulate this to people who are very concerned with trophy fucking as a I call it.

I find it somewhat disconcerting that this is how some people even approach a relationship, an actual honest to god, ‘I want to spend my time with this person doing things besides boning and eating’ relationship, this way.

I just imagine your pops is Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz. Everything said with a hint of double entendre.

I think the potential for sexual exploitation, while a valid fear in general, in this case isn’t any more a prevalent factor than simply being around an adult with perceived power by the child. It’s not like a naked kid is catnip to pedophiles who turn up at your door as soon as they know the kid is sans clothing.

The leaps people make between action and outcome are so goddamn ridiculous sometimes.

Your friends sound like phony pieces of work. I get the same phenomenon when talking to my guy friends where none of us really want to cop to the hard or sad parts of our relationships but when it does come out we almost all have some experience with it and it feels cathartic to let loose.

Education seems like the ultimate career chimera.

Agreed. I’m making at least 20-30k less being in the non profit sector but I’ve only had a handful of nights and weekends that were gummed up with business demands over 8 years. I’m a network admin and by the grace of my wife alone are we able to afford our situation.

I can not think of many more ways for Cardale Jones to antagonize white guys in Michigan but he keeps laying golden eggs.

LOL - somebody went out of their way to CREATE this.

Be like Cookie: DO WHAT YOU WANT!

I am looking forward to non stop Empire promotion during Sundays on Fox. Especially if they can get Aikman or some other good ole boy redneck to do hype-man plugs for it.

It really is. The best is you just stop mid conversation, open your eyes real wide and then just start singing it.

Myriad reasons but white people fucking shit up is on there.

They must be married to those HBS women who are pausing their careers to have babies.

It lowered my opinion of teenagers and I wasn’t even a teenager yet.

Network Administration for Non Profits

What sector are you in?

Sounds like a proxy for the attitudes towards everything that isn’t white bread americana in AZ.

Baseball Machoism is the dumbest thing in sports. Your game involves hitting a little ball with a stick. There’s nothing macho bout it.
