Never saw the movie, actually.

Yes, of course. But the book is written specifically in the context of heterosexual dating, and, while not explicitly, I believe that it's primarily about Black heterosexual dating (i.e., speaking to straight/bi women in their dating relationships with men).

The crux of it is that if a man is into you he'll make an effort. An effort to get to know you (with your clothes on), an effort to get to know your friends, family, and kids if you have any, an effort to be the kind of guy you want to be around. And if he 'a not making an effort—-not calling or showing up when he…

I actually loved 'Think Like a Man...'

She's an undergrad.

They are going to with the hope of getting laid, yes. Just like the dudes at my neighborhood bar, just like the guy who asked for my phone number on the train this morning, just like the guy who paid for my latte 2 mornings ago in Starbucks. Men try to get laid using money, charm, flattery, gifts, etc. News at 11.

They may have some issues as you say. Or they may just like younger women. If both are legally adults in the jurisdiction where they are and both consent to whatever transpires between them I don't understand what people have their panties in a bunch about. If you want to raise the age of consent in your…

If individuals are breaking laws and committing statutory rape they should be incarcerated. If not, then two (or more) consenting adults are willingly participating in events. I'm not in the business of telling young women above the age of consent who to be sexual with. That's not my place.

So adults are going on vacation to hook up with other adults on vacation? Next you'll be tellingly that grass is green and water is wet...

I am talking about her website, Goop.com.

I listen to pop radio and hear One Direction about 10 times daily. I'm "meh" about it but don't get riled up because I realize, wait, their target audience is tween girls, not 30 year old women. NOT EVERYTHING IS FOR ME. Let me stop being so narcissistic as to assume that everything/everyone must cater to me at all…

She's fully aware that she lives an exclusive lifestyle. That's what makes her "special" and is the whole point of Goop. That she is privy to amazing products/experiences that she will then share with the unwashed masses. If everyone could live her lifestyle her site wouldn't exist. It's an aspirational site that…

My point then, and now, is that it's 100% ridiculous to get worked up over something that isn't geared towards you in the first place. Goop is not for you unless you are an affluent woman. Period. If you fall out of that demographic the site is not catering to you. Complain all you want about it, I guess, but it's…

She obviously enjoys an expensive lifestyle. That takes money. She works to be able to afford the upscale lifestyle she clearly desires. News at 11.

She's an Oscar winning actress. No one cares whether she's skipping into work or not. She shows up on time, hits her marks, says her lines, cashes her check and goes home to spend time with her friends and family and to spend time on other endeavors. Like most people who work a job. I certainly don't do cartwheels of…

She is both an actress and a businesswoman. I don't know what people are so confused about this. Because I paid $10.50 to see her be Pepper Pots in an Ironman movie she is enticing me to go to Goop.com to spend $500 on Turkish towels? Because she sings some songs on Glee, whose audience is overwhelmingly teenagers,…

100% agree with you. But I find it silly to "dislike" something when you are not the intended audience for it in the first place. That's just me. My dad can go on for an hour about how rap/hip hop is not music, is just noise, has no merit, etc., etc. My dad, at 74 years old, isn't the intended audience for rap/hip…

Goop is profitable and expanding (I have two friends who interviewed to be high up in its expansion State-side). While people like to moan about it it's making money and making HER lots and lots of money. Which is the entire point of a business. Gwynnie may not be the "most popular girl in school" but she's reaching…

She doesn't need to relate to anyone but her audience. Her audience is those with lots of disposable income. Not everything is for everybody. BET doesn't need a disclaimer saying that it's content may need speak to everyone—-it is geared to a specific population, African Americans. That's ok. Things can and are geared…

I work in the feild and know several of the management teams of the products Goop pushes. She has strategic partnerships (i.e., she makes $$$) off the products/services she endorses. Goop is a business, not a fun little blog.
