FWIW, St. Germain is actually rather good for fortifying wine... but I prefer it in Riesling over anything else.

Plus, too much heat is not good for the hooha.

76-80! o.O I would also die in your home. Jeez. My housemate likes to turn the thermostat (for gas heat) up to 76 in the winter, and my room winds up 80 degrees easily, so I leave my windows open a lot of the time to cool off. But it’s so inefficient. So I would sneak downstairs and turn it down to 68. Told her to use…

I get cold easily. And you know what helps? Wearing real socks and real shoes, and keeping my spine and neck warm. Wear a suitable scarf, and if your hands are freezing, put on some fingerless gloves. If someone bitches at you about “dress code”, simply reply “Are you more concerned about my outer appearance or my…

And you are kinda my hero.

The fuck.

Aaaaaaaaugh!

I kinda wish I’d picked your move. (I also had an ass early on.)

Wow. Just wow. Sadly, your brother was right about how some men can be, but someone should have stood up for you. WTF. If I were your mother, I would’ve beat the crap out of that man if he ever showed up at my house (if I didn’t greet him at the door with a rifle).

During college, I naturally dyed my reddish blond hair to be a dull brown for this very reason. :/ When I’d arrived I’d been treated like a total airhead and sex object, but once I’d dyed my hair, I was treated like a real person with respectable thoughts.

Even though George RR Martin is a feminist and a historian, I imagine he is also prone to his own proclivities. IMO, women are often inherently sexy. I’m not saying we’re sex objects. I’m just saying that we’re sexy. So it just stands to reason that a sexy woman is more likely to be portrayed in a physical manner in a…

Love. Love, love, love.

Exactly! Most men are totally awesome! (Boys can be terrible, but so can girls. Puberty makes kids kuh-razy.) It’s just so easy for humans to remember their negative experiences. So women will remember a lot of times men made unwanted advances toward them, and men will remember a lot of times they were denied.…

I also wish I knew. My parents tried to warn me so very much, and I always scoffed at them, for multiple reasons. One, I believed that everyone was as innocent and asexual as I was. Two, I believed I was too ugly to be attractive to anyone at all. So anytime someone expressed interest, I was utterly baffled.

I guess…

When I was 13, my parents told me to stop socializing with a particular man who was about 30 years old. They never told me why. They just got extremely panicky when they heard I’d randomly run into him and hung out with him and his cousin (who was my age) in the hot tub at the public pool. He also worked for my…

Blech. Gonna read because I love watching a good train wreck in human form.

Btw guys, reading the signals of women can also be hard. I’ve had women throw themselves at me (and yes, I am female), and I totally misread the signals until years later I realized what was going on. Come onnnnnn... A girl says things like “boys are stupid, boys are smelly” then asks me to put my arm around her and…

Ohgawd. XD You poor dear.

It’s confusing for everyone, but I agree that too much of the burden of aggression lies on the men. I tell my female friends to pursue the men they are crushing on. “Beggars can’t be choosers.” When women wait around for men to display interest, they wind up picking from a group of men who just want to get their dick…

I think that he just demonstrated that men have a problem reading social cues when they have sex on the mind, regardless of the sex of the person they’re addressing. :3
