I once politely called a writer out, was supported by other commenters, aaaaand have been in the greys for a year and a half. If I’d known that was the price of speaking up, maybe I’d have kept my mouth shut.

Can’t agree with you on that point. Sure, there are some women who won’t date a guy unless he has a nice car and gives her acceptably luxurious presents, but that’s hardly the norm. A lot of young couples start out at entry-level jobs together, and work their way up. Also, even the most worky-work dudes in their 20s…

Yes, unless you count the secretly-married “bachelors” on okCupid.

You’re right, but I don’t think that was the OP’s point. I believe she was suggesting that the whiney lonely men just make even the slightest bit of effort, instead of no effort at all. Like, do something to further your goals of coupledom, rather than just bitch that suddenly you’re ready and yet the Perfect Nubile…

Let’s just say I’m really feeling your last paragraph, there. #butImnotbitter #okmaybejustalittle

Well, this. She’s nasty and fabulous all at once. It’s so confusing!

I love that.

Agree completely. I mean, I still think the Stones are one of the best bands ever and his work is amazing. But as a human being, it seems like maybe he’s kind of a garbage person. Maybe.

*waves hand* I know this one! It’s because The Stars want to look “pretty” and they have the clout to override the more appropriate choices of the designer/artist. Like in the 30s or whatnot, when Hollywood was making costume dramas like Elizabeth and Essex. All the extras looked like they had stepped out of a Holbein…

How? Because they’re tacky people with no taste. Money really can’t buy everything. It *could* have bought the services of a professional art consultant to help guide them toward a better product, but they’re either too proud or too dumb to admit they need such a thing.

Yeah, that’s how I remembered that. She and Mick got married in some exquisite Balinese ceremony, and years later when the wheels fell off and divorce was inevitable he was all NYAH NYAH fooled ya, it wasn’t a legal ceremony after all! Say what you will about Jerry and Mick, but that was a powerful jerk move on his…

As a former cancer patient myself, I endorse this comment. Right down to the hair that looks like a not-great wig. (Look, SORRY but it’s true.)

Big-boobed ladies need not apply... there’s not enough double-sided tape in the world for a wide-V to the navel. Jaime’s totally crushing, it though: she must be a dream to dress.

I love everything about that gif. Just, everything.

It’s not you. I think it’s weird and sad. Like, it’s okay to be a fan of a celebrity, even a Rilly Rilly Big fan, but to describe that stranger as “the most important person” in the world... well... isn’t that where crazed stalkers start out?

Believe me, it really is key. Source: married someone who shared very few of my interests. (We ain’t married no more.)

Oh, please spill! What are the weirder things you’ve heard of being ordered on dates? Tell, tell.

Here’s the thing. In real life, you meet a person, like them, and ask them out. Online, you ask them out so you can meet them and see if you like them. It’s vastly skewed towards the young and conventionally attractive, and I just don’t think it’s going to do me any favours at all. If I meet anyone, it’s going to be…

I was once visiting an acquaintance who had a preschooler- you know, older and more verbal than a toddler- and midway through our visit, the kid marched up to her mother and demanded the boobie in multi-syllabic words.

Someone on my Facebook feed posted the link with the single word, “beautiful.” UNIRONICALLY. I can’t even... I mean, can’t... whut...??
