Wish could give you an extra star for “truth masseuse”!

So, reporting the age of the woman she was left for is not part of the story? It’s just journalism, “Meninism.”

If you only knew how incredibly wrong you are in your assessment of me. Also- saying something is a stereotype is not the same is saying it is wrong, which is what you imply I did.

Your mom sounds like a fun-having saint, you sound pretty well adjusted, and your dad sounds like he got what he deserved. My father left my mom and three little kids for a slightly younger woman (who left her kids behind too) and decided he’d never wanted to be a dad in the first place. He now has grandchildren he’s…

Maybe you don’t look at newspapers and such, but reporting the ages of people in a story is common practice in journalism. It’s just a fact, same as saying a person has red hair. Except in this case, it’s also a huge fucking stereotype: dude runs off with stewardess/secretary/cocktail waitress who was not yet born…

that made me giggle out loud!

Living well is the only revenge worth having.

Ageism is especially wrong when you’re getting ditched for a person half your age. But it happens.

I’ve heard from Los Angeles people that David Hyde-Pierce is as sweet, smart, and kind as could be hoped. He’s like the antidote to Kelsey, just like Niles was to Frasier.

“Racialized gender”? “White gender norms”? They’re both beautiful, successful, talented people (who made equally amazing kids) and they can without a doubt bang anyone they want. That’s way better than any “white gender norm” going.

Because obviously, every scumbag garbage person is totally open and honest about themselves when they propose. (Hint: if that was true, there would be far fewer people murdered by their partners, let alone those who are latterly surprised to find out that their spouses are pathological liars.)

The lucky ones have identical twins who can stand in for them, like Nicholas Brendan on Buffy and Jill Hennessey on Law & Order. It really happened in both cases, which for some reason just tickles me.

Isn’t that pretty much how Michael Douglas started dating Catherine Zeta-Jones? Thought she was hot in Zorro, made a few calls, the rest is Hollywood history and a couple of cunnilingus inferences.

A friend of mine manages a movie theatre, and “what’s your favourite movie?” is a surprisingly vital question during job interviews. One kid enthusiastically said that her favourite film of all time was Crossroads because “Britney Spears is such a great actress!”

Married. Is still married to.

Nowadays 21-year old are pretty much considered fetuses, but only a generation or two back they were married parents with jobs and (teeny-tiny) mortgages. Guess it’s time for my Geritol too, now that you mention it...

Thank you both for answering and for being pretty cool about it. :-)

Believe me, she’s fat by Hollywood standards. Her cute-but-ordinary face and normal (by non-LA standards) figure means she would never, ever, ever, ever get sent for roles other than “goofy best friend” and the like.

I might consider putting on the stripper heels and bandage dress, if it guaranteed getting in on some hot Carcassonne action. (I freakin’ LOVE that game.)

I’m guessing that the cases you mention are in the United States, which is wildly more litiginous than many other countries.
