I just can’t imagine seeing that guy naked and actually *wanting* to have sex with him. Could she really have done that for money? Sorry, not for a million bucks.

I guess you didn’t read what I wrote, so why bother to reply? I said “pretty much” and “partly”. Also, I didn’t say jack about “extreme male brain theory”.

Your “But I make eye contact” reminds me of my mother: “But you weren’t a clumsy child”. To this day she and all lay people I know REFUSE to believe my Aspy dx. Stupid DSM and the NT’s who write them. Also: about eye contact. I make too much, and I think it’s cuz I have such a hard time reading people that I have…

I live in a rural area and am friends with a deaf man, so have perused movie options for him. Our theater has set showtimes for the hearing impaired, such as twice a week per movie. It could be that they showed up on the wrong day?

Since when did I lose Jezebel posting ability?? I've been posting here for five years?

My first thought: this is a Warren Jeffs enclave. Where Is the man who put five women and 20 of his kids in this house?

Dentists are the WORST “health care professionals”. I’ve had one do a novocaine free root canal on a tooth that was healthy, that lifted me straight off the chair in pain, and she used ALL my insurance for the YEAR for the wrong tooth, THEN when I complained to my dentist who referred me to her, he wrote ME a letter…

Moi Aussie. Moved to Hawaii when Bush won his presidency because of Florida, that was 13 years ago.

Well, except the definition of a bezoar is a mass trapped in the GI system. I think it's a damn good word for...can't even bring myself to type his name...
