My (dude) best friend/roommate can tell if I have my period because my boobs look bigger. I think we've been living together for too long.

The fitness section on pinterest, for your daily dose of fat shaming and ridiculous, scientifically inaccurate tips. It makes me really mad, but then I go to the food & drink section and look at pictures of tacos for awhile and I feel better.

I couldn't get past the fact that that article was SO specific and used real names. It basically amounted to "I broke up with my friend because she sucks, and I feel bad because I never told her why. . .so then I published it in the NYTimes so she could read about it!" Nothing like reading that your ex-friend thinks…

There's a dude who treated me like utter shit when we had a very emotionally intense fling a few years ago, was totally avoidant of his problems and ended up hurting me very badly as a result. . .who just started a business as a Life Coach. womp womp.

Note to ladies who get catcalled a lot on the street: listening to music all the time is very helpful. I never notice how often I get catcalled until I find myself without headphones for some reason, and I suddenly notice the number of dudes who are muttering shit as they walk by me, or yelling at me from across the…

I meant that both attractive and unattractive guys have approached me in ways that I didn't find offensive or threatening; it didn't matter at all whether they were attractive or not.

Honestly, no. There's no difference. I can think of several instances when a guy has said something flattering about my appearance/called out to me in a way that I didn't find offensive, and as many of them were unattractive dudes as were attractive dudes. The only difference is that they approached me in a way that…

I should clarify that I was far enough away from him on the sidewalk that it was clear he was hitting on me, and I wasn't just running by so close to him that it knocked his phone out of his hand. haha.

That sort of thing is a gray area, because a lot of women would be very uncomfortable with that and consider it harassment. . .but for me, there is a way to do that sort of thing that doesn't offend me. Generally, if the guy is close enough to me that he's not just screaming at me from a distance, is smiling in a…

I used to always flip them off, but I can't any more! Because this really sweet guy who delivers water to our office always sees me walking on the sidewalk when I'm walking around and yells my name out the window of his truck, and at least three times I have come uncomfortably close to flipping him off before I…

Uhh. . .yeah, nope. I live in NYC and catcalls are not welcome by anyone and never lead to any actual communication between the parties. I don't think you can even call catcalls a 'flirtation'.

I was at a conference and the woman speaking seemed soooo incredibly nervous that it was uncomfortable to watch. . .and then she passed out cold on the ground, mid-sentence.

I wore high heels exactly once and my feet were in pain for about three days afterwards. Glad to hear I'm not missing out on anything.

I dunno, I find Queens fine in the same way that Hoboken and Jersey City are 'fine'. . .you can live there and enjoy it but if it weren't for the proximity to Manhattan I don't think many people would want to. But I'm a huge Brooklyn snob, I genuinely wouldn't live in Manhattan if I had the choice. I did for a few…

Haha good call. When I go to other cities I always forget that it's probably a rude thing to ask. Especially when I follow up with OMG 600 FOR A TWO BEDROOM AND YOU HAVE A BACKYARD?!?!?!?!

They would look so much better in yoga pants, AMIRITE?

It makes me feel really uncomfortable how accurate this is. I feel like I have somehow become a caricature without realizing it. But really guys, LA sucks, there's no reason to ever go to Queens and I REALLY want a dog. AND SERIOUSLY THE CABS HAVE TO GO TO BROOKLYN.

Yeah, we totally did.

Is that girl they quote a Beat Poet?

These NYTimes "DANGEROUS TEEN TRENDS" pieces made my life really confusing as a kid, as they resulted in scenes like this:
