Well, I guess I'm just not picking up on the same things. All I'm hearing is someone slightly nervous with a voice I don't think is terribly unusual for a 26 year old. I'm a southerner and I often hear similar complaints about the way I speak (especially now that I've moved up north)... there's a lot of reasons people…

This comment made me listen to the video... and I really don't see any reason to believe this isn't her actual speaking voice. I've seen recordings of myself giving talks (keep in mind I'm talking about biochemistry and definitely not trying to sound "cute") and my voice sounds pretty similar. Some people DO sound…

Maybe she was on there at some point, but her name definitely has been up since I moved here in August.

Hey, if I could eat at Ben's Chili Bowl for free - you could be damn sure I'd do it all the time... sadly, I am not Bill Cosby or the Obama Family.

But the implication here was that you should just "suck it up" and deal with being uncomfortable instead of being unkind... never did anyone mention directly confronting another passenger/being rude to them. That WOULD be unkind.

And just adding on... I've NEVER been rude to a larger individual on a plane because of this. I've always spoken with a crew member.

So, you're saying, someone (like myself) that is high functioning socially but has some psychological issues about my personal space being invaded by non-friends (meaning... not someone casually bumping into me while walking around)... shouldn't be allowed to fly because someone might just happen to need to be…

I agree here... I've been described my many, many people in my life as being "nice to a fault" but I am so not okay with my space being violated on a plane. It's not only a matter of being physically uncomfortable, but psychologically uncomfortable for me as well thanks to my inward disability. Being nice doesn't mean…

Honestly, coming from someone in "hard sciences" I have faith that in the next 10-20 years you'll see a significant changes in these statistics. Thinking right now... most of the prominent, often award winning scientists in my field are overwhelmingly male... these scientists are also (generally) older. When I think…

There's definitely a bit of a "no way in hell" attitude in Texas from those that don't support Romney already. My dad is conservative and non-religious/is bitching about the election this year like it's already completely lost. He hates democrats, but he's not voting for Romney.

So... your logic here is that there's no spectrum of behavior? Troll.

I actually just had a talk with my boyfriend (who loves porn and all that goes along with it) where I established that while I have no problems with it I am just soo not into it. The way I see it (with this boyfriend at least) the porn benefits me! Him getting some extra release means he lasts longer in the…

You're definitely not. I wonder what I could possibly be!

A love of touching yourself and a love for women - as they are - are not even remotely close to being mutually exclusive.

Yeah, I think it definitely will be... but it's worth it (to me) for a variety of reasons... starting with the fact that Bethesda makes me hate my life much less here haha.

It's crazy here compared to Dallas, ugh, and I'm thinking about moving to Bethesda because it's so ridiculously nice. My commute will hate me.

If parents have the means to help out with their adult child and they're struggling, I don't really see anything wrong with that? At least for people my age a lot of our parents are more stably employed than many of my peers are managing - even when they try. I had to relocate from Dallas to DC on three months notice…

Googling the image shows it's a hamster. haha

That's a hamster #corrections

Why? If someone is at a point in their life when physical attraction is still something they value highly in a relationship... then how exactly is it being too picky? I've known guys that I very much enjoyed being around but just had no interest in dating them because the attraction just wasn't there. I "gave a guy" a…
