I learned three things from this NY Post article.

1) Lots of people like free dinner and drinks at upscale restaurants.
2) Dan Rochkind’s qualifications for who he’ll buy dinner and drinks for is “traditionally attractive 20-something year old women”
3) Despite going on “up to 3(!) dates a week”, Dan Rochkind still…

It’s gender neutral ‘cause it’s true

None of these people have accurate concepts of how attractive they actually are. I know that I am super fucking critical about what I consider to be beautiful, but honestly, they are lying to themselves. And yep the PR chick is average. It’s okay not to be hot, but thinking you’re far better looking than you actually…

Whoever it was, I salute them for their sacrifice. I couldn’t have talked to all those people and kept enough of a straight face for them to let me publish their words without question.

Also, dating another person isn’t about “having” who you want, it’s about spending time with someone and building a relationship that satisfies you both.

No no no no and no.

Whenever anyone says “I could have anyone I wanted” you know they are delusional and you should very very quickly run very far away.

Also, Hot Woman, thank you for this!

That was my thought: unplanned and she decided to keep it even if the marriage was going down the tubes, because it would really be her last chance.

My experience stems from personal loss, so right or wrong that definitely colors my view. In the early 1980s my cousin started dating one of those dudes that you instantly just know is bad for your cousin. We couldn’t figure out what she saw in him, which is often the case. We didn’t really know it/see it at the time…

Yep.

Nothing Janet has ever done gave the golddigger vibe, so everybody can have a seat with that nonsense.

Well, I’m sure he’ll be a super hero to the white supremacist movement within prison. Isolating him to a mostly POC wing would be something I’d root for.

If you could care less… Then why does the State need to kill him? Especially if he wanted to be a martyr?

I’m seldom a black and white type of guy… But as you say, sometimes like abortion you have to be all on one side or another.

There are a lot of racist white people who only think of racism as being the acts of lynching and burning crosses. They can go their whole lives spouting white supremacist rhetoric and committing acts that are definitely racist but don’t cross the imaginary line into “hate.” A part of me would like to think the…

I’d argue the ‘chasm’ between whiteness and supremacy is so small it is indistinguishable in practice, if not in ideology. White supremicists aren’t using grappling hooks and night vision to locate the right candidates to receive the entitlements they insist require them to abuse people of color. They douse those…

I’m with you. I hesitate to comment on these type of articles because oftentimes the comment is “I’m not in favor of the death penalty, BUT”. No, there should be no equivocation. Just like abortion you believe in it or you don’t.
