Thanks for changing the headline on this. "Addiction" and "bad habit" shouldn't be used interchangeably. Eating terribly and smoking are bad for you and require a serious change in mindset and lifestyle which isn't easy. But alcoholism or drug addictions are way different, and usually those who suffer from these…

Yeah, there were 2,500 kids in my high school, 700 in my graduating class. No one was "popular" in the traditional sense because there were just too many people. You could easily go all four years without ever knowing or running into 2/3 of your class. The people everyone knew were the ASB kids who had been in student…

This is probably why I'm single. I assumed they were work buddies, and whenever someone alludes to them dating it's always done to annoy them or take the attention away from whatever fuck up the other characters are causing.

That's kind of interesting...even though I object to your usage of the term "skank." I find that a lot of guys who were formerly nerds in high school, and are now overpaid software engineers here in Silicon Valley have the same pompous, lame attitude toward women. They only go after arm candy, and couldn't care less…

From the article: "About 44 percent of the women interviewed listed romance, while only 19 percent of the men mentioned it, Roese said."

Lab mixes are simply the most awesome dogs known to woman. My border collie-pitt bull-black lab mix is the best dog ever...so I am torn. TORN I tell you.

God loves a terrier

Using it. Cheers!

So...I'm assuming the hefty cut the recruiting agency took from my paycheck for three months while I was temp to perm isn't deductable? It adds up to about $2,400, and my employer paid them a separate lump sum once I was brought on. So...yeah. It would be nice to get some of that back. I knowif I was JUST temping that…

So, I'm not surprised that a 16 year old boy has no fucking clue what he's talking about when it comes to abortion. Yeah, it's pretty offensive, and it's kind of scary Rolling Stone even went down that road, but I'm always pretty confused by what RS expects us to think about the artists (*snort*) they interview. Not…

I am in no hurry to buy a home, and probably never will be. Living in California and seeing the ridiculous amounts of money people forked over to live in some shitty fixer upper near decent schools was a real turn off. And don't even get me started on Prop 13 and the clusterfuck that's caused.

I don't think it's superficial you're going on looks...it would be if you thought the guys profile sucked, or you have very little in common, but he's hot in his pictures so you respond. That's been the toughest habit for me to break, but I will tell you the guys whose pictures were nothing special on the site turned…

I would venture to guess you actually have to be a rather socially adept person to online date. You have to be comfortable writing honestly about yourself, emailing back and forth, and possess the guts to ask someone out and show up for the blind date, and on top of that have the ability to make congenial, interesting…

My favorite OKCupid message so far: "Do you look that hot all the time, or is that just really good photoshopping? ;)"

Having 34Ds sounded a lot cooler in middle school.

Also: "Having big boobs and not wearing turtlenecks everyday means that some people will automatically find you vulgar, and without any reason beyond your breast size, will feel the need to judge you and comment on your body."

The other thing I can't stand about these magazines are the moves they expect you to do at the gym to tone your abs, butt, thighs, arms, whatever. They're always so completely ridiculous, and require two exercise balls, about 100 square feet of mat space, and three separate barbells of different weights, plus a multi…

Isn't it kind of bad luck to be on The Real Housewives, considering how many of them lost their imaginary fortunes, ugly houses and slimy, out of touch husbands soon after taping? Oh and their wigs and weaves. The real housewives franchise IS NOT good for fake hair.

@perdue: I don't hate her or think she's evil. But the line about knowing from an early age that she deserved the finer things was a little maddening. Superficial, unwarrented entitlement doesn't look good on anyone, rich, poor or otherwise.

Guys without a large vocabulary and complex sentence structure need not apply. I think I'll put that on my dating profile.
