He's clearly lacking in true life experience. And an editor. You're just winning him more hits.

Ooh, I was born with that issue. Runs in my family. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am that my parents had means to send me to an orthodontist. It took a lot of work to fix, but was tended to early enough that I suffered pretty much no social issues on account of being a land shark.

Probably not the reaction this post was intended elicit, but I see nothing in any of the "before" pictures that merited more than a flattering outfit, some contacts, and make-up application/hairstyling lesson. Surgery seems extreme.

Skimmed some of his numbered points. Decided my time is better spent lifting.

You know what's really not socially acceptable? Admitting you know you're not pretty. I'm weird looking and I know it - I see no point in trying to convince myself otherwise. But I can't admit to this knowledge without accusations of low self-esteem.

I like to pretend they're just trollin.

"I do. It's just not always the feedback that I've been given."

Was scrolling down at 55 MPH just to point this out.

Also murdered.

My stepmother was terrified I was going to emulate everything I saw on TV. I found it massively insulting that she couldn't give me more credit that that.

For me the choice is hair or a landmine of pus-ridden, infected ingrown hairs. Pus is totally hot, right?

Thank you. I knew someone would tell me if I just asked. I have seen the arm versions of those, but I didn't know there was a head version.

Thank you for confirming I'm not nuts. I was starting to wonder. :)

Yes, alone and not talking. Like I said, I can't explain it, but they're just a little different in dress and appearance. Different enough to notice when you're accustomed to people watching and have noticed that's what European tourists look like.

I'm white, live in New York City and can often tell a European tourist on sight. Even when they're not white. I can't really explain how and it's not foolproof, but Europeans living in places that have a lot of U.S. tourists probably have same, I dunno, tourist-dar.

Am I the only who's gonna ask why that woman has a binder clip attached to her forehead?

LOL. I'm sitting here reading this article thinking "so, is this an outside-of-NYC thing? Because we don't have that problem 'round here!" Some bitch once hit me right in the face while waving to her friend, then glared at me like I was the asshole for walking down the sidewalk.

"Going Gray Is a Fierce Act of Bravery"

"Despite the professionalism of Marines, it would be distracting and potentially traumatizing to be forced to be naked in front of the opposite sex, particularly when your body has been ravaged by lack of hygiene."

Jesus christ. Of all the hazards in the world to worry about, pthlates...pthathl...whatever in my panties never even occurred to me. I didn't even know what they are and I want to yet again climb into a plexiglass bubble. (No plastic, man. BPA.)
