The Rick Scott dress didn't fit either. It was gappy and awkward.

I'm not up for quoting right now, but the thing which amused me most was the "breakfast" scene, in which everyone was stuffing their faces, THEN talking. I was reading it aloud to my mom, making sure I had a "full mouth" voice every time someone put something in their mouth, then talked. We were rolling!!

All the stars for this one. You might be my new hero!

I adore everything about this whole thread. May it never end!!

And, I can only imagine, to experience it, quite another.

I assumed you were a woman. Regardless, for all the reasons enumerated above, I *don't* like it. It's awkward and makes me wonder what I'm supposed to do with such random praise.

Do you enjoy such attention? I know I don't. Men aren't honestly that different from women.

You're right. Start right away *eyeroll*. Either that or learn to be socially appropriate. If you can't. . . I guess start seeing a professional, because just because you don't know how to start interactions appropriately doesn't mean we all just have to "learn to like" inappropriate ones.

Here's a quick litmus test that I use with small children (especially girls), but works fine with adult women too: Is the thing I'm about to compliment her on something which is within her control? If the answer is yes. . .(taste in music, nice shoes, clever t-shirt, great painting, etc), then compliment away. It…

In the US you get 6 weeks unpaid and that only if you happen to work full time for a company which qualifies.

That may be so in some arenas, but this was not a thread about anything you want to talk about. So you decided to turn it into one, rather than seeking out a thread which was already about something you wanted to talk about. Do you have any idea how annoying that is, time and time again? Especially when people come…

No idea, but you clearly have issues with them or you'd have stopped posting exactly the same thing on every thread.

*Reads back* You started that tangent because I was joking about how "selfishly" we women refused to stop menstruating and having babies. . .and then suddenly it had to be about men. And anger. And it just got funnier from there.

That's right, they're not. But you made them so. In literally every thread on this thing. Every one got turned into "Why it's terrible to be a man/get taxed/why child support is awful." All about men. Thanks for playing.

Indeed. My friend's ex has ten or twelve kids, two with her (hers are the oldest) and he's about $60K in arrears to her(no idea about the other moms). Every six months or so they haul him back into court, slap him on the wrist, give him "another chance," and send him home. Clearly, this is a terrible situation for…

Some women can't use them. I tried them for several months and can't find one which works for me. On top of that they cost from $20-50 just to find out you can't use them. Some I've tried were too big and were extremely painful, others too small and leaked. I finally stopped because I was spending lots of money…

She's asking if they're subsidized anywhere. "Subsidized" means that they're supported financially so that the cost is lower(removing sales tax could be a form of subsidy). It does not mean free. She also didn't ask for them to be given to her, or anyone else, she asked if anyone was aware of a place where the cost…

That's really what MRA's are about in my experience. Teen boys (or those with the minds of teen boys) who are angry and looking for attention. "Lemme say the meanest, most disrespectful, nastiest thing I can and see who gets upset. Oh, and let's make sure the whole thing ends up about me."

I don't even get how a topic about tampons and jerks on the internet evolved into a thread about child support and how unfair it is. . .

That's fine 'cause I'm not shaming you, I'm just making fun of your ability to turn a conversation about tampons and women's needs into a story about you and your insecurity. I mean, you gotta admit, that's epic-level trolling.
