I came here to say that, basically. Do you think they’re googling her political views? No, they like to see her talk about sex.

Some people just like to be in a couple. But in my experience, serial daters always put themselves before their partner, and leave a trail of bad feelings behind them. They also don’t get too close to people too quickly.

Her instagram is killer. Solange is an artist.

LOVE - yes it will be JLaw because she’s so “cool” and “one of the guys” she would never “complain” about his “habits.”

Sure. But it’s becoming clear that the calling him names like manbaby isn’t really appropriate either. He’s not well. Probably needs more/better care and a secure environment.

That’s what I said - I think there’s a diagnosis probably, that they are not sharing with anyone but family members.

He (the younger brother) sounds mentally ill. That is not within the boundaries of normal behavior, even with a psych disorder figured in. Or his disorder is very pronounced. He should be under psychiatric care and the parents should have safety measures in place. It certainly sounds like they are trying their…

I think what you’re describing is in the range of normal (not perfect or ideal) behavior. I’ve been around people who are stubborn and drunk more often than I’d like, and that can get pretty scary if they start using their size and strength to settle things.

they are when they’re drunk.

Yeah, what she said is diplomatic and vague, but I can also see things getting more complicated as they get older and more defiant. And if he does have an alcohol problem and an anger problem, it may have also gotten worse over the years.

Your confirmation, while affirming, also makes me depressed. :)

there are so many angry 40-something men on tinder! my last bf, who is in his 40s (so am I) alternately dated super smart accomplished women and like, dieticians. So he would veer from strong independent women to basically cheerleaders. everything was about his ego. He left me for a life coach, of all things. I…

I think it happens sometimes. I think it’s that there’s a type of angry man who smokes a lot of pot to avoid dealing with things and then gets drunk so that the anger comes out in an unhealthy way. It’s not necessarily that it’s a toxic soup. It’s not the combo, it’s the man that’s the problem.

Mmm, she might have some secret schadenfreude - if only because media and lots of actual people were all of course he fell for Angie she’s just so beautiful, and Jen probably knew that he was a bit of a player and a drinker/stoner and maybe not such a great catch but that didn’t match the narrative. I’m sure it was…

If he was anything like my ex (and he sounds like it), I would put off having kids with him too - you already have one baby!

lol. Me too. I dated a guy for a while who was just not friendly enough to my dog and it turned me off.

Taking it up at all was considered a suspect politicized move by the court, since it’s hard to find the actual controversy or injury in her claim.

That’s entirely possible.

Yea. Also, I don’t really believe she reads the NYT. That was a prop.

I don’t think they are equivalent statements. Part of what is annoying about what Amy said IS that she does a very conventional performance of gender, and then feels sorry for Tig for not being able to do that, which just assumes a lot about what kind of attention Tig is looking for as a performer.
