Maybe because she’s being shoved down our throats? But I try not to blame her for that, since her presence in things tends to be understated and on the “I’m humble but have a sense of humor” side. Plus she’s been in some awesome movies doing good work.

Amen! The previews made it seem like a love triangle movie, and granted, there kind of is, but really her decision between the two men is more about her decision between the two lives she’s lived, and whether she can live happily in either one.

Being able to laugh at awkward situations or silly moments is my #1 criteria for bangability in a guy :) I have a vintage bed frame and once one of the slats fell out during sex... and we just laughed uproariously and then kept going. It was amazing! And if I get a real laugh at the tail end of my orgasm, it kicks in…

Kimmel can come across as mean - I think it goes back to my impression of him from the Man Show, though. Well that and how much of the jokes are based off Guillermo’s accent. Like, we get it - English is his second language. It veers into Ricky Gervais territory (I haaaated his podcast because of how mean they were to…

I feel like people are always shocked to find out that she’s from just outside of Reading and not Nashville.

If you google it, there’s a whole lot of hooey (technical term) out there about it, with doctors saying different things:

That’s OK - we’re close enough to the south that y’all isn’t that weird. The Mason-Dixon line started in Philly, after all :)

I’m “lucky” that my doctor has seen just how much I’ll tolerate when it comes to pain & discomfort (I got mono & didn’t realize it - chalked it up to the flu, took 2 days off work then just kept trucking through it until another doctor had me tested for it - long story). She finally listens to me when I say something…

Period colds are totally a thing! I get stuffy nose/sinuses & sore throats really freaking often during my period. Every other month, I’d guess. And when I lived with three women senior year of college, two of them had the same thing but just didn’t make the connection until I kept complaining about my own period…

Weirdly, mine decreased with age. I remember one afternoon in high school doubled over in pain (and for anyone who says exercise helps - I was playing a sport and anything other than being doubled over made it hurt worse). Being on BC has made me angrier during my PMS stage, but even after going off it, my cramps are…

When about to say “y’all,” say “youse” instead and you’ll be fine. And “jawn” is, in my humble opinion, for when you don’t feel like searching your brain for the name of a person, place or thing.

Pretty sure my mom didn’t go to a school where “legacy” was a thing - it was one of those things where everyone in the neighborhood sent their kids to one of a couple of Catholic schools, so everyone in the school had a mother, sister, etc. who went there. Favorites are also a thing at co-ed schools, and I wouldn’t…

My mom’s pretty quiet about gender issues, but I remember once getting into a conversation with my dad and brother about gender-segregated classes and schools, and the two of them scoffed pretty hard until my mom piped up that being in a girls-only school definitely helped her learn, and made her more confident. That…

I like thrift shops as cheap dates - you go and laugh at old styles, or maybe find something you think is kind of cool. Went with a boyfriend and we went home with silly records that are now a fun souvenir of that day. And furniture/design stores can also be fun for the reasons you mentioned, sans food/candy.

Never make a first date something you’re stuck at - that’s my policy. As a second date, this isn’t a bad idea.

Here’s my question - does the same sales tax apply to underwear and other clothes? Because then women are just screwed either way, by being taxed on hygiene products, or taxed on the items they need to keep buying because they couldn’t use those hygiene products to prevent staining.

That’s a good point - sometimes it simply comes down to “is it worth it for me to just put up with this?” and with partners, the equation changes.

See I was told that a man who’s rude to waiters and waitresses might see you as below them/serving them some day and treat you the same. My mother also told me to check how they treat their mothers - if it’s with disdain, then they might feel that same disdain for you after you have kids with them. It’s more about…

Are your friends and parents seriously intimidating, or rude/inappropriate to these dudes? That’s the only explanation I can think of other than you having a very introverted/stoic type. When you go out in public with them, see how they react to strangers around you, maybe. Are they able to engage with friendly…
