I think the point is less about raising or lowering standards and more that you should like what you like, but examine why you like the things you do. There’s no harm in it, and you’ll probably learn something about yourself.

FWIW, I’m 5’10” (6’3” in hair and heels) and the best sex in my addmiteddly fairly illustrious 20 year romantic career has consistently been with short men. Obviously it COULD be a coincidence, but in my experience a guy who’s happy and secure enough with himself to date a girl who’s a full head taller than he is also…

Sing it. One of the most gratifying and enlightening (as it were) conversations I ever had was when I asked my dark-skinned partner to really think about why he preferred fair-skinned women. He thought because he bucked the system by going for someone much taller and heavier that his preference was influence-proof.…

I’m 5’10” (6’3” in hair and heels) and I’ve dated shorter guys all my life, and although I’m willing to believe the possibility that the Angry Short Guy exists, in 20 years of dating experience, I’ve never known one.

I will always, ALWAYS rep for the short guys and I would like to personally thank all those women who turned down incredible men because they weren’t tall enough because I picked them up and have had a damn good time.

I know how you feel. And yet there was a huge uproar when Vivien Leigh, a brit, was cast as Scarlett O’Hara. Same thing with JLo as Selena and those were two iconic performances, so I’m willing to give Hiddleston a shot. UPDATE: Just watched the trailer. Nopenopenopenopenopenope

Hi, I’m a MUA and also very fair-skinned, so let me help you out if I can. First the turmeric. I started doing turmeric masks a month ago and I had the same concern. You’ll look like a Simpsons character when you put it on and again after you wash your face the first time, but it doesn’t stain the skin. What I usually…

That right there is a read, and a beautiful one at that. Let us bow to Mother Jones.

A voice like that didn’t lead to superstardom. Beauty, personality, work, and tons of cash pumped into the Rihanna machine led to superstardom. She still gets credit from me because as an entertainer she serves it every time, but I don’t think anyone’s going to pretend she’s an especially compelling, talented or…

Diamond encrusted sex toy? SOLD.

My frenemy spent nearly 20 years being snide about my romantic choices while remaining the Insufferable Morally Superior Technical Virgin. When, at 34, she finally decided to take a break from poophole-is-the-loophole and let some international student in his early 20’s stick it in and he proposed the next week, she…

I think it depends on the pots and pans. Spendy brands like All-Clad or Le Creuset just cook better/last longer than anything else on the market and your grandkids will fight over them when you’re dead so that seems like a legit (albeit costly) registry item.

Not only that, but when a footballer scores against his former team and doesn’t celebrate or crack a smiles, the announcers fall over themselves talking about what a class act he is. Nope, no sexism there!

Okay, but see that to the end. Is a barbershop refusing to serve someone because they aren’t a man meaningfully different than a restaurant refusing to serve someone because they aren’t white? Or a country club not allowing membership to someone because they aren’t Christian? They’re all non-essential services, so…

Song? More like a party trick. It’s been a while since I’ve tried it, but I’ll show you if I can find those last two ping pong balls.

I think we’re talking at cross purposes here. I’m asking why a woman WOULDN’T want to go to a barber if she has a short haircut. Because obviously I’d go to the barber. Maybe I was unclear.

If you wanted a traditional male-style haircut (ike this woman did) wouldn’t you want to go to the place that does male-style haircuts all day everyday instead of going to a salon stylist who might not do more than a handful of short cuts and no traditional barbering in a given month?

Bonus star for “duffer”.

When women first started shingling their hair, they went to barbers, and if you have a straightforward short hairstyle, wouldn’t you rather go to the person who cuts short hair all day er’ryday than the one who only has maybe one or two pixies on their client list?

Yeah, he’s one of those guys in the office you like, but you also know not to get drunk with or pal around with too much because you’re 80% certain he’s one rejected advance away from talking about “bitches” and “females.”
