You think men are the only ones who feel that way?? I'm a relatively attractive woman who has had boyfriends for most of my post-puberty life, but I'm still super insecure and have spent years pining over guys who didn't want to be with me. It's almost worse for women because if we want someone, it's not socially…

Except 5'7" is not short!!! Most women are shorter than that. So if they want someone taller, he's still tall enough. Most women are not obsessed with having a 6-foot-tall boyfriend. I've known guys who were 5'3" and were total players. The women they dated were all their height or a little shorter, but they still…

Also, women are often really short. If this guy was 5'7", the average height for American women is around 5'4". He could easily have found a woman around his height. He's not even that short. I've dated guys who were exactly my height — 5'3" — and I was fine with it.

Does the Holocaust museum sell plush dogs and cheese and phone cases? Somehow I think that they probably sell books, documentaries, etc. Not cheese in the shape of a gas chamber or a dog with a swastika vest.

It's weird, because they did (do) love me... and when we talk about it, they're like "well, you always seemed fine with the rules, and we thought you knew we loved you"... the thing is, kids are not adults. I didn't know there was another option other than the way I was raised, so of course I never complained. They…

You think Gwynyth EVER eats roast chicken or fries, from ANYWHERE? I doubt it.

There are actually studies that prove this. They take a bunch of kids, and some of them aren't allowed to eat a certain thing... then when they are allowed to eat it, they go crazy and eat way more than the kids who were allowed to eat it in the first place.

I want Goopy to become an adjective! It's so perfect!!

Exactly! I replied to someone above, but basically my childhood was NO sugar (none! not even fruit yogurts), no junk/fried food, NO TV (not even PBS or sesame street), no video games, many toys were off limits... I was expected to go to Yale like my father but I didn't get in, ended up going to Reed in Portland...…

That describes my childhood. I responded to someone above, but basically NO sugar, no junk food of any kinds, no white flour, etc. Even at family events, aunts would be watching to see we got none of the cake or whatever. My dad would reward me with ONE graham cracker if I ran all the way around the track by our…

My brother and I were also raised strictly — NO sugar (not even those fruit yogurts, or graham crackers, or cereal other than Cheerios... no added sugar at all... also nothing fried, no fast food ever, no chips... and not even on special occasions. I have friends who claim they were raised like me but then I hear…

The examples I gave are the same sentence structure as "I wrote him."

Thank you both for not having the crowd mentality that she's ruining the world. I never was a fan of hers either, and I'm still not really, but two things happened: I heard some of her music (mostly live stuff and covers) that I really liked, and I got sooooo sick of everyone in the media insulting her. Especially the…

What about live? Or is the BBC out to make her sound better too? I honestly think she has a good voice... I don't care for most of the songs she chooses to sing, but if it's a decent song, she can sing. I don't give a fuck how many dicks she rides on stage, she's obviously into what she's doing and it's her choice.

Would you say "I threw him the ball" or "I baked him a cake"? In all three of those cases, "him" is the indirect object. "I threw the ball to him," "I baked a cake for him," "I wrote a letter to him." It's perfectly acceptable to change the word order and take out the preposition. In the case of "I wrote him," the…

When I was 28 (in 2010) I dated a 19-year-old Swedish-American surfer. Oh my GOD what a body! I am not usually fixated on stuff like that and tend toward bookish types, but fuck I would just lie awake in the early dawn running my fingernails along his naked hip bones and staring at his skin that glowed like milky…

Normally gifs really annoy me but that Obama one is worth it... best facial expression ever!

I guess you've never been to Europe. My wallet was stolen in Barcelona by Roma children... they are pushed into it by organized crime and they get beaten and punished if they don't steal, as young as 5 years old. In many cases their parents make them do it. Watch this documentary, the guy describes the whole web of…

Did you watch the video? They said the scratch was visible on the baby's forehead, but I couldn't see anything. Where did the baby need medical attention? Anyway, how does kicking the cat teach it anything? Cats don't learn things like dogs do. They shouldn't have a cat if they're going to treat it that way.

Does kicking a cat teach it anything? No.
