That's true of pretty much any living situation as far as I'm concerned.

Normal and boring has become the new tall, dark and handsome of online dating....

I have to admit I have a similar reaction when guys shave their beard...

She always scared me a little bit....

I worked in a Greek restaurant when I was in college, and the cook there was crazy too! He would always be stoned, running out to his car on every break, parked right on a busy street (not the back parking lot!) outside the restaurant, and smoke out. About 2 months in, he found out I'm Jewish, he could barely conceal…

Honestly, the ego on some people, to think they will be included in the rapture! Even if you believed in that nonsense, it takes a major ego to decide you will undoubtedly be included in that group....

Horrifying is an understatement..... I could not take enough showers to get the ick off me after that experience.

I had a horrible father in law years ago - his ignorance was surpassed only by his stubbornness, and he would revel in pronouncing things the wrong way, like it was some kind of badge of honor. He always pronounced yogurt as yog-art. It drove me crazy but I never corrected him, because you just didn't correct that…

Don't wild animals poop in the snow every day? How is it different if it's human, or an omnivore? If it's alright for a bear to shit in the woods, why not people? We are literally surrounded by feces at all times, we swim in a giant cesspool every time we go in a lake, river or ocean. We somehow manage to survive.

I would never trust a serious romantic relationship that didn't allow for the occasional fart..... what else are they hiding??? I was married to a man for 20 years, and he never farted in front of me.... now I'm not, because he was cheating, so I speak from personal experience. I find it reassuring when my bf cuts one…

Glad to hear you took the risk, put yourself out there, and have had some positive responses. There are nice guys out there who get it, who just want an awesome partner in life, and won't let some extra weight get in the way of that. Not like most of them are specimens of physical perfection either, everyone has…

I hate overly sugary fake lemonade drink, which is what most restaurants serve, so I usually make my own at the table, using real lemon and a touch of sweetner. I'm not cheap, believe me I can afford a glass of fake crappy lemonade, I just prefer real actual lemon and just a hint of sweet. That's why I do it. And I…

I'm a woman, single and middle aged and also got some chub going on, so believe me, I totally get it, I feel your pain. It sucks out there in date-land, especially as you get older. Men my age grew up with the Twiggy thing, they are, for the most part, completely intolerant of any extra weight at all, and there are…

Years ago I had these two friends that each got a white German Shepherd pup, brothers from the same litter. A week later, a little orange kitty showed up on the one friends doorstep and he adopted it. That cat, Jed, grew up with those two huge Shepherds, and I don't think he had any idea he was a cat. Used to come…

This is true of ice cream too.....

I have this problem too, ordering for one can be hard when there's a minimum dollar amount. I don't want appetizers or desserts, it's too much food. What I try to do instead is order dinner for two nights, or dinner and something to take for lunch the next day. Some meals can even be sealed up and frozen so there's…

Wow, someone's a little oversensitive to the subject.... my guess is you've been "the drunk" in similar situations? Quit trying to rationalize how a drunk isn't responsible for their actions. The world owes you nothing, my dear....

While it might be considered a nice thing to do, and a public service, to put this person in a cab, I don't feel the responsibility for getting said drunk person home safely would be on me.... how is it not the responsibility of the drunk person? They get a free pass for abusing alcohol? Nope, sorry, that's just a…

As I said before, this is awful and I'm sorry this guy didn't have the decency to at least tell you, politely, right then, that he wasn't interested. At the same time, I just reread your post, and I'm now wondering, maybe it wasn't your appearance/weight that was the issue since you did send him pictures. You say you…

Oh geez Andrea, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I beat myself up for years because I've got some chub going on and had such a hard time dating as a middle aged person suddenly on the market again. Then I discovered something, there are guys out there that like a "curvy" girl. I focus on them now, it beats starving…
