I don’t have cable to watch this show but I do ready these recaps (why, I couldn’t say) and it seems like Kourtney is the most reasonable human being in the bunch? Is that fair to say?

Khloe in particular came across as the most ignorant asshole. She kept waving at everyone as they drove by, talking over their tour guide, and recording videos of people on her phone without talking to them. Kourtney at least made an effort to speak Spanish, so I give her a teensy tiny pass.

I haven’t had sex since the ‘00s and don’t really mind*. Now I can claim my celibacy keeps me young!

for the sake of being vague, he treated someone I’m close to pretty horribly and said some hurtful things to her.

I think it’s outdated, but if the guy makes the effort to ask both parents (like in your case), I think it’s sweet and see it as using an arcane gesture to say “Hey, heads up: I want to be a part of your family.” Assuming the guy is close enough to his family that he shares such major new with them, one side already…

I assumed it was fairly common because the minister didn't bat an eye and switched to that pretty easily. But I also admit to not spending a whole lot of time researching wedding vows, so it could have just been our guy (we got married in New Orleans, I imagine ours was a pretty tame request in comparison to some he's…

I asked my fiance’s parents for “permission”, and also her brother too. My fiance is extremely close with her family, and while I knew that they would not have an issue with me proposing (we had been dating for six years, I was basically already integrated into their family) I still thought that it was the right thing…

Yeah, I told him that letting them know it was happening and maybe even asking for their blessing (as long as it’s understood that they can’t forbid it) would probably go over well with my (very conservative) folks. Sometimes you have to do the little things to keep the peace for the future.

I told my boyfriend the same thing. But out of respect for my somewhat conservative parents, he said he will just let them know that he is planning on it. I still don’t even want that, but it’s just to make them happy I guess. I don’t know. I don’t even want to get married since it’s deeply rooted in sexism, but I’m…

Yup — and RealitySteve’s spoilers made watching the season so much more enjoyable.

It was important to my husband that he ask my parents. My parents nor I cared, but his family would have. Apparently when he asked, my father said “I don’t kown why you’re asking me, that sounds like her decision. May the odds be ever in your favor.” To which my mother hit him and said “Just say yes, you ass.”

It’s a southern thing. She’s from Dallas, so am I. Even the most liberal of people here still expect the guy to at least have a conversation with the woman’s parents before he proposes. Obviously that’s not everybody but it’s common. It’s not about transfer of ownership, it’s just common courtesy. It’s more about…

I know a guy who was on Paradise Hotel. He ended up being an asshole.

omg. the LOVE HONOR AND OBEY. Last time a heard that at a wedding my best friend and I had to pretend to hug each other out of high emotion, in order to stifle the laughter.

Mr. Apples did it, at my request, but only because my dad told me that he had asked my grandfather when wanting to marry my mom and gramps said no. (they have now been married 44 years!)

Oh god seriously watch last season if it’s still on youtube. It was SO GOOD.(And then come back and comment again so we can cry together once you see The Scene. Thinking about it is making me tear up again... T_T)

Me watching Jojo

And I mean—wasn’t her ex a bad dude too?? She came on this franchise to find better dudes I thought

It’s just crazy how everyone can see this guy’s no good except Jojo. But it’s always like that. Multiple times I’ve seen sisters, cousins, friends date awful men and everyone knows they’re bad news but they refuse to see it. It’s not that they don’t see it. They see those red flags too and have those bad feelings. But…

I have a deep, irrational hatred of Jojo. Every single thing she does pisses me off.
