Do you have a tape measure? I recommend measuring yourself according to the guide posted on the sidebar of http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits… (not the guide posted here on Lifehacker, which has problems). You can post your measurements and describe your shape to get recommendations. From the problems that you're…

Glamour. The articles are really stupid, but I like to look at the eye makeup.

I completely agree with you. The way we glorify weight loss as a major accomplishment is damaging to everyone, including the people who lose weight, because if they regain it (quite likely) they have to deal with losing all of that validation — and with knowing that everyone thought they looked soooooooo much better…

The story said you need to lose 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds). You could increase your weight by about that much by drinking a bunch of water before the weigh-in. Then just dehydrate yourself for the final weigh-in and collect your gold.

Male/female couples have straight privilege, so they have straight privilege when they date men, are part of male/female couples, are viewed as people who date men, etc. Heterosexual people have more privilege, but a bisexual woman who exclusively or primarily has relationships with men has more straight privilege…

Bisexuals certainly have a place in the LGBT community and rights movement. But sometimes I kind of sigh when people like Gaga and Ke$ha identify as bisexual — they have never been linked with women, only with men, and they have heavily used the culture of gay men to advance their own careers. I'm not saying I don't…

Different people respond very differently to the same amount of food and exercise. Just because YOU can eat what you want, as long as you exercise, doesn't mean that fat people would have the same result if they adopted your habits. If it were that easy, nobody would be fat. I think that, for whatever psychological…

Often, when a company is worried that the government is about to regulate them, they will self-regulate. This can ward off governmental regulations that might be worse.

No, this is actual science. For example, here's one showing the average is 12 pounds: http://news.health.com/2012/09/26/col… I also saw one that said the average for women is 9, but I can't remember where I read it — but googling average weight gain in college brings up a bunch of studies showing something similar. …

It's not really a "freshman 15" so much as steady weight gain over 4 yeas in college, but the average woman gains about 10 pounds in college.

Yes and it was AWESOME. H2O: Just Add Water is a wonderful show. However, even though I'm in my late 20s, and I love it, H2O is aimed toward children — they haven't tried a mermaid show for teenagers.

I went to a state school in the south. There were lots of skinny women and joggers, so it's not like everyone was huge, but it definitely wasn't uncommon for women to be chubby. And they would join sororities and wear little sundresses like everyone else, so there was no stigma to being a few sizes above average…

I did notice and appreciate that the women in the drawing are about the average size of U.S. female college students. I was skinny in high school, and I gained about 20 pounds in college, and it was because I was eating tons of pizza and Chinese food, drinking whenever I wanted, and having a wonderful time. My…

I agree that it's shitty to act like not drinking is weird. But at the same time, I think compatibility in this area is important. I drink frequently but not heavily — I rarely have more than one drink in an evening, and I've found that I don't enjoy dating people who drink heavily. I don't want to drink all day…

The same thing happened to me — I'd always had a nice pleasurable climax, but it was more of an "ahhhhhh" feeling than "oh my god I'm screaming and writhing with indescribable pleasure." So when I was younger, I thought I'd never had a real orgasm (like in movies), until one day I did some reading and realized I…

Adding to the many uses (besides ass-toning) mentioned here — these shoes were wonderful when I fractured my foot and had to wear an aircast boot for eight weeks. The aircast has a rocker platform similar to these shoes, so when you wear it with a regular shoe, you end up with hip pain from the legs being different…

Water makes a huge difference, but for me it means sacrificing sound sleep because booze (a diuretic) + water (a liquid) means I'm going to wake up every hour with an intense need to pee. There's nothing worse than waking up, groggy, cold, and exhausted with a full bladder — meaning you need to drag your drunk ass…

I only date in the summer. When it's cold, I just want to stay inside on my couch with my blanket and Netflix.

I agree, the situation is total lunacy. Finding a proper fit shouldn't require an expert in a special boutique, and you shouldn't have to spend $200 just to get something that doesn't cause stabbing pain throughout the day.

I've never smoked, but several of my friends started smoking after high school. At first, they smoked "socially" or "only when I drink" — and they believed that they would always be able to stop easily. For some people it was true, but others got hooked and became addicted. My generation seems to believe it's…
