Writer#1: Compartmentalize. It’s easy to make friends. It’s easy to find fuckbuddies. But if you want somebody who’ll act like your boyfriend but not develop feelings or ever expect anything, be prepared to find that guys like that are unicorns in much the same way that women are.

I 100% axe someone if there isn’t a going to be a romantic relationship. Who needs that many friends? Otherwise you’re just stuck with a reminder of what could have been, with feelings of resentment or jealousy. It’s easier and healthier to just remove them from your life so you can move on.

Being from the midwest, addressing a group of people “guys” is almost an exclusively gender neutral term. And not in the “when it’s a mixed group we default to the male pronoun” sense, but the “a gaggle of girls can still be referred to as ‘guys’” sense.

I think you’re missing the point. An N of 300 has some kind of statistical significance, while an N of 12 doesn’t. The low N item has a higher probably of being great, and a higher probably of being garbage, or worse, a scam. So yes, don’t evaluate your purchases by using a stars + reviewers calculation, but you also…

I somehow found myself cutting in line for a beer garden at a football game last November. I legitimately did not realize that the line wrapped around the side of the building and just got in line at the corner (along with 5 other people who I did not know). Someone AHEAD of me in line saw this and apparently had a…

I HATE lines. I agree, this article is how to be a douche. I generally prefer less formal lines as then I feel like order is kind of based on how important getting through is to the individual, a self-forming priority queue. But I absolutely hate when others start letting people in front of them in the line. Cause you…

Oh man. I have a really bad secondhand embarrassment phobia thing, and I literally could not sit through the first season of Parks & Rec. I got through an episode and a half before the number of times I was pausing to get up and walk around my apartment and shake myself out was untenable. I skipped to Season 2 on…

Counterpoint: Get The Fuck Away From Me, I’m Trying To Work

Self-proclaimed chivalry always gives me pause...

Well, first of all, equating “feminist leaning” and “man hating” is a big red flag.

Not to mention, if one bothers to ask what their partner wants, the answer isn’t always an orgasm, sometimes it is intimacy.

Yeah, like I get the “Am I doing something wrong” panic, that can easily happen even if you objectively know facts about female sexuality, but christ dude, an app about helping women enjoy sex makes you worry about feminist leaning man haters? He has some serious issues with women.

So let me represent my process of reading this post.

Jeez... this line, “I treat her very well, I give her preference in nearly everything, and am chivalrous (not just an act) every single day.” made me cringe so hard that I’m pretty sure I’ll permanently be several inches shorter. It sounds amazingly similar to the way most of the “nice guy” complaints start, so I was…

Maybe I missed it, but i feel like more could be done to remind the first dude that his wife’s orgasms are about her, not him.

Hilarious picture. I’m not even sure what is happen there.

How do I tell Facebook to hide my mom’s comments from all my work friends?

This is why Internet 1.0 was so much better: you had an account/persona for work, one for school, one for your favorite rabid fandom, one for family, one for e-commerce.....

That people only write letters to someone they’re interested in is wholly untrue. I know I’m steadily becoming an old but it really wasn’t all that long ago that writing letters was still a common occurrence. I used to write to a girl I was friends with after she moved and send postcards to another female friend just…
