That "97" at the end of his SN almost definitely refers to the year he was born.

@Daoudmac: I'm pretty sure no one's arguing it's not prostitution—which would be a tough sell, considering the auction is taking place in brothel.

Seriously, with the height foolishness. I am 5'4"; the average height for a man in the US is about 5'8". There is a LOT of wiggle room in there. If you're going to be all weird about being taller than your ladyfriend, just find a short one. We are many and myriad.

What stood out most to me wasn't the similarity between the comments about fat and thin women, it was the default to their relative attractiveness to men. Because it's obviously our job to be attractive to all men at all times, and if we're too fat or thin to be ALL things to ALL men, we're doin' it wrong.

@barmishmar: well, as to point one: I had PIV sex for the first time three full years before I had an orgasm from any kind of action. So while I like how personal and positive the "orgasm" rule is, I wouldn't want to discount the intercourse I was having—which was awesome—before I learned how to come.

So, I actually know Yelena somewhat, and am friends with her on facebook, and her current status reads: "Did not send any emails to BLSA or ATL, but would like to know who did so that they can have the attention". So, there's that.

mrteenwordpower does use digg and youtube more than I do, but we're both using them to do the same things: look at pictures of funny animals. maybe I want to share the funny animals, and he wants to compete to see the most funny animals? surely, we have to conform to our respective gender norms somehow!

This really isn't such a big deal. If it turns out the fetus you're carrying has hideous defects, your sinning (see: fornication, getting raped, being a lady) probably caused them. OK just wants to help you understand that better by "encouraging" you to give birth to your baby with, say, no brain. The surprise of…

did they correct for age? 'cause the older you are, the more you're likely to make (to a point) and the stuffier you're likely to be.

@ardentlilac: oh no, that's totally reasonable. i went to a women's college with huge a capella presence, so we had visiting male a capella groups pretty much constantly and it NEVER GOT OLD. they are (in my experience) always goofy like this, and it's mad dreamy.

that picture of the two ladies playing in the dirt is my Favorite Thing of the Day. Look how pleased they are!

So, at the top of my Safari page, I have a "share on facebook" button and an "add to my wedding registry" button. deciding which one to push just now was a really tough call.

So, if you're an American citizen who "looks" arguably "illegal," what do you produce when you're stopped by police? Your driver's license? I'm thinking mainly of teenagers and the very old, who may not have a driver's license or constant access to their birth certificate. Which "papers" are we talking about here?

wait, tampons aren't embarrassing because buying them might get you laid, but condoms are still awkward? unless you're 15 and in a small town wherein you're at least distantly related to all the sales clerks in the only drug store, buying condoms = nothing but I AM GETTING LAID I WIN!

I do not go to the traditional news for my feminism—when it's not totally clueless, it's downright retrograde.

While I probably would never have said this in public, I understand it completely. Now, I want children, and I want to conceive them myself, but that doesn't mean that pregnancy isn't scary. I just recently have gotten to a place where I feel mostly positive about my body, and the sheer magnitude of the change it…

I love the girl in the first ad's laugh of utter disbelief when the guy asked if he could bring her toilet paper. For serious, pal, I've tried it. "Ineffective" doesn't begin to cover it.

@sheilagirl: if it helps, mrteenwordpower just indicated that he found my SUPER PUMPED ABOUT WEDDING SHOES face really attractive, and it was anything but vacant.

My favorite is when the bill at a restaurant is handed to mrteenwordpower, and I take it, slide in my credit card—bearing my not-at-all gender ambiguous name—and watch it be handed BACK to mrteenwordpower. I try to make a point of leaving the bill and card on MY side of the table, right next to ME, but this rarely…

@ShadyLane: Sorry, I suppose I rode the logic of the article without fully expressing it. It's not *just* that it's a very short phrase that's easily skipped, it's that fact in conjunction with the fact that it's simply intended to protect a vulnerable population from potential distress. Like a movie rating—if you…
