Well I mean, the "adult" in adult diaper implies adult usage as well. Like I said, I don't know much about the context of the term, but I think in this context, pad would have been wrong. Adult diaper may well be wrong too. I honestly don't know what the best term is.

Meh. I don't blame her. If someone asked me in the middle of dinner, I would feel very pressured to say yes because frankly, I have to sit through at least another 20 minutes with this person until dinner is finished and if I say no, well, that's going to be very uncomfortable for both of us. He was using a high…

While I don't know the nuances of the term "adult diaper", I don't think pad would work in this situation as pad typically refers to a menstrual pad, which is different than what is being discussed here. Adult incontinence garment, perhaps?

For sure. No interest in getting strung along (with anyone really). Like I said, at this point its more for just the curiosity feature - he's like the Where's Waldo of dates.

Oh yeah, I insisted on meeting around the corner from my house so that it's really no skin off my nose to walk by and see if he's there. Plus side - cute bartender that I can always go in and flirt with for a bit if he doesn't show!

At this point, because I'm just sort of curious as to what he's like. I think we might get along, and it is possible that it's just a string of bad luck/poor text communication, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I definitely am not emotionally invested though - more like at this point, I just sort of want to…

I have a date with the flaky dude this week. I am very interested to see a) if it happens and b) how it goes, if it does.

Agreed. I've turned on the captions for people, if I have my headphones on, if I see them peeking over my screen. If I was working on something confidential I might ask nicely that they stop, but hell, you can watch Friends with me if you want.

I think it was a Jez commenter who once wrote about how her father refinished their basement when she got into her teen years, adding a lock on the top door and a separate entrance at the bottom, and didn't disturb the door when it was locked. His rationale was that he didn't want his daughter to be having sex, but if…

No one is saying it is. I don't know where you got that. I said that if you are discriminated against, the burden of proof falls on you to PROVE that. That is the fundamental nature of a civil suit in America - the allegedly wronged party needs to prove 1) they were wronged 2) the other party should not have wronged…

"The problem is, you still have a lot of very individualized questions concerning specific employees, like was someone terminated because she was a bad employee, or because she was a woman?" a class action lawyer not involved with the case told The Times' Stephanie Clifford. "Answering those questions is hard to do…

Sooooooooooo many guys lie about their height. Sorry dude, but I can tell you're not 5'9" when I can look you straight in the eye at 5'5'".

I get a lot of "Wow you are hotter in person" too. I think I am pretty, I get stopped by random people on the street and told I'm beautiful pretty often, but it's the kind of pretty (fairly angular and "ethnic" features) that typically doesn't translate well to photographs. I'm not sure how to reconcile my lack of…

I would say it depends somewhat on a) what your event is (party where people get plastered vs brunch) b) what kind of guests you have (a bunch of smaller girls vs 250lb men) and c) how long the event is.

I do eyes and not lips on a first date (but I like my eyes better than my lips, so MMV). I typically do concealer on the undereyes (always), thick black liner but no substantive shadow (I have big eyes and looooooong eyelashes naturally so the thick liner looks good), and mascara. I don't wear much makeup in general,…

I feel very very superficial on OKC. And a little hypocritical as well - I know know KNOW that I come off better in person than in pictures. My features are just not photogenic. At the same time, random people stop me pretty regularly on the street to tell me I'm beautiful and I have my good days where I agree (and…

I feel you. Titanic is my dad's favorite movie.

"I'd like to clarify something: you have beauty pageants... but then you have the Miss Universe organization and Miss USA. A lot of people don't understand that Miss USA is just a real woman ... She's a real human being, who has her own opinion, who's an adult who can make her own, mature decisions."

I kind of disagree. If you have an open relationship and all parties involved are comfortable, well, more power to you. That's something you're both in agreement about.

Wow, your friend kind of sucks. But I agree with the statements above that her husband is probably in denial.
