I just think a lasting relationship requires a lot more than can be gleaned from the answers to these questions, even if everyone's totally honest. And while discomfort answering these questions might make *you* not want to marry someone, the same is not true for everyone, and a desire to know a person longer before…

Right? I feel like this is less "guaranteed to make you fall in love" and more "good screener for people you could never love v people you could."

How'd it make you feel?

I mean, I also wouldn't want to marry someone who thought they were legitimately in love with me after one intimate conversation.

But what if you hate the other person's answers? And with the strangers in the lab, is there a follow-up study to see how long they *stayed* in love?

I don't think the joke was as off-the-mark as you do (though it also wasn't perfect), but your slam was definitely better.

1) Sure, they're known within that system, but it doesn't mean they can't mock the system (they do, a ton, not just here)

Well "acceptable" doesn't mean "right." It just means "more accepted by society at large." Which it is, for men.

And a "drinking increases the risks of xyz," not "drinking always = xyz"

As in, the women who wrote/made the video didn't make it to sell clothes/with clothing in mind, but they're getting sponsorship money from people who think "our target demographic probably enjoys these videos; I hope they associate this brand of humor with our super-hip lady garments!"

Yeah...I'd get this for gym memberships. It'd be shitty, but at least logical. But that was just confusing.

was his handle romeo rose? I want to find this.

Why are his teeth so white????

I love cuddling! And I don't think you need a new word. But something about planning out morning cuddling? That should just be a thing that happens when you feel like it.

Yeah, that sounds right. Ideas of love have certainly changed, but they've always been there. "Song of Songs" has some pretty steamy, definitely sexual, and what I'd call "romantic" more than "courtly" love. But it was much rarer; I think romantic love requires at least some sense of equality.

All of this is awesome and fantastic and I know I am being pedantic here but: it always bugs me when people make declarations that "romance didn't exist" before xyz. I feel like passionate, romantic love wasn't expected a few centuries ago the way it is expected today, but it existed and was written about and…

If I'm really excited about something I've made, I'll take a photo, but staging? If I've made food, I'm hungry, and I want to eat the food I've just made.

She can walk on her own already??

Guys my niece turned one today!

Oh I was once on the ice cream and mono diet, and lost quite a lot of weight without even exercising! But also, ice cream was the only thing I could swallow, and my organs were so inflamed I'd get full after a few bites. Do not recommend.
