Well, again, it sounds like we had different experiences (and probably lived in different places). I think it's unfortunate that someone having had a different experience is upsetting to you, and that you feel the need to be dismissive and insulting, but hey, you're clearly passionately invested in your opinion and…

Honestly this conversation is starting to get confusing, because in both of your comments I feel like you didn't actually read or understand what I wrote.

I actually disagree with a lot of that, albeit in a nuanced way; re: "prepared foods and quick eating" there is a huge difference between, say, McDonalds, and a turkey sandwich on whole wheat or some veggie soup, all prepared entirely with organic and locally-sourced ingredients that you can buy at your corner deli.…

It is the magic missing piece.

I'm curious though where in France you lived? Paris? Maybe it's lovely and more enlightened!

Except I'm not joking, it is unfortunately not over-generalized but rather an accurate description of an astoundingly behaviorally homogenous group of women in a place that I lived for a year. Not Paris, a smaller city in the South of France.

I read the freaking "French women don't get fat" book and it was useless. Then years later I moved to France (and gain weight, of course) because:

What field are you in? I'm not even asking to bitch at you, I just want more money.

Don't get rich.

Yup, low body fat. That's just about it. I've never seen a really skinny dude who LACKED it. I'm a lucky duck because my Mr. has great muscle tone and a low BFP so I could snort coke out of his V cuts. So sexy.

I've taken pole dancing classes, and other sexy dance/chair dance classes at that studio, and it was super fun and everyone was really non-judgmental. Don't worry, give it a try!

Hi! I've done the wedding thing and I think the best/most important thing is to let her know you need to back out NOW. The way it sounds you will either back out or be miserable, so just give her as much notice as you can!

You'll be okay! Almost everyone I knew waited tables to pay their way through school— nights and weekends only. There is almost for sure a few restaurants near your campus that primarily employ students and are used to their time constraints. You can also ask people in your program who work where they found their jobs…

Hi! I'm sorry, but I'm another commenter with no answers but plenty of questions.

I agree with other folks that a lot of us just consider our escape options when we're having relationship issues so that we don't feel trapped, but that it doesn't mean we want to break up. I would NEVER want to leave my Mr. but every single time we fight I consider what the logistics of a breakup would be like. I'm…

Maybe next time you can tell your friends to just park on their lawn, since they might prefer it ;)

Okay, that was a douchebag thing to say, flat out. I would have been like "buh?" and then later wished I'd been like "Really! *super surprised look* 'Cause uh...you're not that great..." or if I felt more honest and less mean, "Oh sorry, didn't realize it was all about YOU."

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but unless those people are your parents or other siblings you ABSOLUTELY CAN post snotty comments under the stupid statuses and call those fuckers out. No one will think you're a terrible person— I would bet on reactions ranging from "thank God someone said it" to "his poor…

I feel like you could comment on that just like "what the fuck is wrong with you" and it would be COMPLETELY acceptable.

Wait, so the girl who sent the hilarious rude email is kicked out, but the folks who make widely publicized rape jokes or throw the racist parties usually just get scolded?
