Well, I'm there with you then. I thought it was funny too.

It's fucking hysterical! Either strip away the veils of maya that separate your mind from your body, or else go with cathedral-length lace. BAM. How is that not good wedding-column advice?

i thought it was funny and harmless. i'm not cool either

You have many valid opinions, but ranking Kristy as #2 is, I'm afraid, objectively wrong because Kristy "IT WAS ALL MY IDEA butweallhelpedwhatever" and "ALL DAYS ARE ABOUT ME ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS" Thomas was the fucking worst. Or second worst, because Karen was the literal worst.

In her defense, I believe the time she misspelled her own name was in one of those *special* Baby-Sitters Diary books (am I remembering this right?) and she was around 5 at the time, making it slightly more forgivable. Was she ever diagnosed with a learning disability or anything? I feel like that happened, but I…

hell no

Not a nod to Claudia's earrings (generally mis-matched but thematic and totally on trend for 2014)?!?!?!?! I'm astounded.

I always read the Little Sisters books even though I hated how Karen explained how divorce worked during chapter two of every. single. book. WE GET IT. Your family is special.

I know. Actually shocks me as well. Although I have two friends who I swear share a mind. Not a strong mind but one mind nonetheless.

And yet, I didn't always have droves of dudes in love with me. Maybe it's because I failed at the size 2 part.

That's totally it. You have to be all those cool things... But you also MUST be hot. That's the key.

Yeah, I agree. Reading this, I was like, wait—I really do like beer, sports and wings. I'm not averse to commitment but I'm not super gushy. But I look like I like beer and wings and consume them regularly (and I do, without regret). I was also never really a "vulnerable" person, nor a mystery—pretty much what you see…

Yeah, I went through a "cool girl" phase as a way of trying to attract male attention when other methods had failed. But I wasn't pretty or skinny. So I got to be the friend who had to shuffle off when the guys were trying to hit on someone at a party. Not fun!

Are you really dropping some #NotAllMen bullshit around here while women are dying for just being women?? In a second article within an hour span from the first one about a woman rejecting man's advances and getting punished by violence and death because of it. Just stop.

I soooo agree with you. I was (am) awkward, closer to a 10 than a 2, and just not ... classically pretty, I guess. Guys didn't start hitting on me in earnest until I was in my mid-30s ... which doesn't really help when you're happily married, focused on a good career and not looking. The minute I stopped really giving…

Guys want a personal cheerleader, even if they don't think that's what they want. This article is great.

Yeah, this was my experience too. The dudes weren't really down with an Amazon woman as a potential mate, they wanted the pixie child. (Although in fairness, that suited me just fine as I really was NOT looking to settle down with one fella!)

I'm a frilly kind of gal with conventional female looks, and I often get told that I'm a guy in a woman's body, which is intended as a compliment. I think it's because I have Asperger's, which has been defined as "extreme male brain" by some, therefore seeming even stranger in a woman. I don't know if I'm a "cool…

Does anything else really need to be said?
