I wasn’t that much younger before I started getting into relationships - I agree with the others that it comes down to what you want out of a partner, and you may not be for everyone because of that, but that’s not an across-the-board deal breaker.

I’m hoping she is because I inherited her big feet and don’t want to have to replace all my shoes if I get pregnant :)

One of my friends has been harassed twice by panhandlers - one just yelled at her that the $2 she gave wasn’t enough, didn’t she have more? Another actually followed her home and tried to assault her before a neighbor came out and scared her away. Granted said friend had really bad city smarts/wasn’t a great judge of…

And some of it is surprisingly permanent! My mom’s feet went up half a shoe size when she was pregnant - and stayed there. Decades later, and her feet are still bigger than before she went through pregnancy. It’s a small thing that just blows up my mind because it leads to the “getting pregnant permanently changes…

God, please don’t. There’s enough bs out there telling pregnant women all the myriad things they shouldn’t do, eat, etc. Studies have linked Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to binge drinking, but unless you know an alcoholic who should be getting sober anyway, my recommendation would be to leave your friends alone.

I made my boyfriend watch it (not a musical guy but begrudgingly said he liked it... then watched another episode on his own the next night), and my dad mostly likes it when the younger characters don’t annoy him too much (Paula ftw!). So unless someone finds another straight male, you might be right...

... um ... yeah that second part doesn’t sound like anything I’d ever hear in a group of women outside a TV movie, but OK. Honestly, have never had a friend address a group of women as “girls.”

Can you tell the office staff when you make the appointment? If they say the doctor you don’t like, ask if another one is available or if you can schedule for another day?

I went to a terrible open-mic event for a bachelorette party. The only upsides were the affordable price, and the fact that we all (mostly strangers) had something to talk about afterwards, namely how bad we all thought it was. If only they’d listened to my suggestion of a dance or pottery class...

At some point my bf and I realized that I call him “babe” when I’m being flirty and “honey” when I’m being sarcastic (as in “whatever you say, honey”) ... I think this should really be the only acceptable use of the term anyway.

I loved working with staffing agencies and recruiters - like you said, they want you to get the job. But they also want to make you happy enough to take the job (at least in the current market, compared to 2009/2010)

It depends on the age of the woman sometimes, though. I always got thrown when a guy would call without texting first (as in a quick “hey got time for a call/chat”). It threw me off, and not always in a good way, depending on what it was interrupting. Once I was at work - and that actually pissed me off.

Yes exactly - keeping them perkier longer I guess

Supposedly sleeping on your back offers the most support for your breasts, followed by side, with sleeping on your stomach the worst support for your breasts. I sleep on my side to reduce snoring mostly, and who knows if the study I saw won’t be proven wrong in a couple years...

I love these lines from the musical Assassins and hope it ends up ringing true in this case:

Not that it’s the LW’s fault or responsibility, but I wonder if she’s too concerned with being nice to people who are not good to her? I had a friend who had toxic guys in her life who would bring her down, usually in subtle ways, leaving her thinking that they were just in a mood or didn’t realize how hurtful they…

I wonder if she stopped telling him as much because he got all weird about it? “Why didn’t you tell me you were meeting up with a guy from Twitch????” “... Because I thought you’d freak out.” (Followed by the freakout she anticipated)

Yeah I guess I wasn’t the only one shocked by the line “even though we wern’t in a relationship we were fairly close and on the possibility to getting into one”

If you can afford cleaners, it’s just *such* a relief off any living-together relationship, romantic or platonic. It was a constant battle between me and former roommates, based off different levels of cleanliness we could each live with, and with my current housemate, we’re both good at spot-cleaning (eg wipe down…

A list of everything that needs to get done in the house, on a regular basis - maybe with frequency noted... Which is also work (I’m grumbling to myself as I write this) but some men just aren’t taught to *see* the work that needs to get done and grow up blind to chores. The list keeps you from constant nagging, in…
