There may be a bit of sexism in the assumption that caring for children isn’t a “career.”

Formula gets expensive and meth addicts aren’t the best at budgeting. Breastfeeding is free. I wish addicts were better able to weigh the possible consequences of their actions so they could make better decisions, but their judgment is severely impaired.  

Oh my god.

I won’t hold my breath for the father of this child to be questioned on HIS whereabouts and why he wasn’t being responsible in the raising of his own child. 

I really wish a tiny amount of the money going to incarcerate these women were going towards drug treatment and rehabilitation.  this isn’t humane.

Yes. Nothing says ‘let’s sit down and really weigh the pros and cons’ like meth addiction.

Just sad all around.

My first thought was that these guys are dicks. My second thought upon seeing the header image was that we really need to ban these steadily shrinking martini glasses I’m seeing everywhere.

I developed a sunscreen allergy (to benzones in chemical-based sunscreen, specifically) as an adult and have been using mineral-based sunscreen for the last few years. It can be harder to rub in then chemical options, but it’s a thicker, non-greasy coating (as you’re essentially smearing clay on yourself) and a great…

So the vibe (heh) I’m getting from this situation is:

The entire piece reads like this wife became unhinged about the picture sent to her husband and pitched the whole trend story to the Times, in order to be like “this woman is crazy and this vagina picture is awful, right?!!?!?” to about 50 people and get paid to do it. 

Why does everyone think the photo was unsolicited? The reference to “cyber-infidelity” makes it seem more like her husband got caught cheating because of an inopportune text and since she stayed with him she is taking her anger out on this other woman - who she takes care to mention was also cheating on her partner.…

“Vivien” could certainly recognize herself from the description, and people who know her might be able to as well. Seems like Stover went out of her way to try to publicly shame her (as in “this woman hit on my man, please say something derogatory about her for my story”).  This shit is so Mean Girls.

I have no particular opinion on proper attribution of vagina pic stories, but  I do believe Stover is an asshole.

It’s just so negative, it’s unattractive. I’m a thin woman, but if I saw a profile where the guy said ‘swipe left if you’re overweight’, I’d swipe left on him. Have some tact, be a grown-up, there are ways of ascertaining physical attraction (and body type) without putting a dickish message out there.

Why do men think a photo of them flipping the bird is attractive? Or smoking a big cigar? I don’t want to date your kids, it is ok to say you have them, but putting up their picture is just weird. I don’t want to see you with a dead fish. You show off your fancy cars and then complain about gold diggers.  And yes, we…

If you’ve been dating a while and are still on apps, you might be feeling kinda pissed off at your lack of success. Maybe someone, or several someones, did you wrong. Do not use your bio to rant about “people” who suck, flake out, don’t message back, or who don’t look like their photos.

A lot of great cliches posted here that I see everyday! One of my favs (read: not fav) is “I’m an introverted extrovert.” Yeah yeah. Sometimes you feel like talking, and sometimes you don’t. Like pretty much everybody.

Exactly. This isn’t like 2001 and we can have a spirited but civil debate about tax policy or whatever.

My last sentence basically says, “No Smokers, No Trump, but outside of that let’s get weird and Hail Sagan!”
