I think it was a big deal when there were no antibiotics.

Well, I think what the article reveals is that to some extent it is true. The woman who wrote it basically says you have to tone yourself down to get a date.

Wow, how complex the male brain is....

Maybe all wasn't the right word, I think it's enough, but this info is also helpful.

Who accepts a woman for who she is? And did I say anything about wanting to be a mommy?

Agreed. I think it's also indicative of something bigger. That some men have been primed to have you, the woman, receive their ideas and thoughts without much concern to what you're giving out. Ie. Manic Pixie dream girl.

Exactly. Any hint of a personality that individuates you from your date is a total turn off. You're an object, remember? Not a "person".

I imagine she's done way worse than takes his money - I think that all you need to know is that she takes his money, bare minimum to know that's she's complicit.

Who's rule is that? A british survey last year revealed most people think a woman's attractiveness peaks at 31. Also, another survey of the same year, revealed most men would prefer to date an older woman they found attractive rather than a younger one they did not? It's your rule, your exception, nobody else's.

I took dating pretty seriously when I was 22. The men I was with...did not. Also, I don't think everyone peaks at 24 physically. Most people I know would say I'm better looking at 30 than I ever was at 24, but whatever, I suspect you're just trolling.

What's especially sad about this is how "flat" she felt she needed to appear. It's kind of along the same lines as "When a man says he wants a funny woman he means he wants someone who laughs at his jokes, a woman who wants a funny man wants someone who tells funny jokes." The more "dating" research I hear, the more I…

If she's taking money/supported by her father, she's complicit in it.

that's an extremely disturbing way to describes someone's mental illness. #partoftheproblem

I have millia, what's the best way to deal with this?

this isn't love, it's limerence:

He's a bit wrinkly for me. Especially for a 27 yr old. Dude is going to look old soon.

I am in recovery. When I do this to other addicts, I feel like a big. fat. hypocrite. Really, what benefits me as well as empowers others is relating to them as you once were. That's my take on it, but if Emily gets off on being super hard on others like her, that's her thing.

I personally feel as though Emily is a little higher on the "special pleading" scale than most people, but that's just me.
