I’ve got a very similar attitude! I’m about 5'9", and I actually liked how guys added their height because I’d like to date someone at least 5'8". Doesn’t have to be that much taller than me, and in fact my boyfriend and I are the same height which I like, but I wasn’t interested in dating shorter guys. If a guy…

YES. I was on Bumble for a few weeks before meeting my boyfriend and I would match with a lot of guys, then I would honestly put a lot of effort into crafting a witty opener based on their pictures and profile, and I’d say about 60% never responded. I hate how the narrative tends to be that men are always ignored.…

It sounds like you’re a teacher (as am I) and I get what you’re saying. I remember in my hometown, if a school offered you a position and you declined, your name would be blacklisted and you’d get sent to the bottom of the list for the whole district. One of the reasons I moved!

Ugh, true. I’m so anxious, uptight, and responsible that when something breaks I honestly wish I could just get it fixed myself. Hate depending on someone else. And my landlord isn’t even bad! Its just the principle. 

You’re right, that’s your experience. For many other women, abortion is absolutely a relief and many women do feel like celebrating after taking care of something that could have ruined their lives. 

I don’t know, I think there’s merit to what this article has to say. I was extremely reactive when I was younger, and I would flip and dish it right back to people in the moment. That led to a lot of fights and tension and awkwardness. In my early/mid-20s, I had a bad falling out with a group of friends. They were…

And that is exactly the problem with the current GOP. They don’t actually have policies and ideas and platforms, literally their entire ideology is “haha lets make those libtards cry!!!!” The entire party is just one reactive backlash to the other major political party in America. 

I live for this trope...Sean Penn was really coming through with his absurd/shitty book a few months ago, but Depp always rises to the challenge as well. 

I tweeted that it looks like Melania is just going full Marie Antoinette at this point.

I think pop culture latched onto the “you never ever say that word EVER” and as a result a lot of people hopped on the bandwagon proclaiming that “cunt” is just the worst thing you can tell to a woman.

This song is pretty catchy, I’m into it.

I think its hard, for sure, also depends on how much wealth we’re talking. I grew up upper middle class and went to private school, and I was extremely sheltered. But I credit the friendships I made in college with making me much more humble and empathetic. Simply meeting and befriending people from different walks of…

I think he’s cute.

Thank you for writing this out. I’m so over these “my grandparents got married the day they met and they’ve been together 100 years.” Cool, great, good for them. First of all, I’d say that if they really are in a happy marriage, then its mostly just due to dumb luck. But mostly, in this case, Davidson has a…

Fair, but anecdotal experience is not data. Honestly, most of these quickie engagement success stories just boil down to sheer luck.

I...feel a lot lighter and carefree all of a sudden.

Trolling as in, its not as scary as everyone says?

I think you summed up a lot of it in your last paragraph. I just saw the movie this afternoon, and I’m in the camp of “it wasn’t that scary.” I wasn’t laughing, and it was definitely a creepy and unsettling movie, but I went in thinking that it would emotionally destroy me and I wouldn’t sleep for the next few days,…

This made me chuckle. I don’t know why but those little anecdotes are gettin’ real annoying...cool so your grandparents who were probably waiting to have sex until marriage and it was the 40s got married a few weeks in and then just put up with any possible red flags because divorce was frowned upon back then. Cool…

My biggest fear is that I would have only sons with no daughter, and I was thinking more along the lines of like two boys. This looks like pure nightmare to me.
