“I’m just saying who are we to criticize any other culture?”

It’s like you didn’t read the last part of the article....

“And then there are those who view others’ profiles thinking they know what they want, but in reality are attracted to someone quite different. So instead of judging all those books by their covers, it would probably be best for online daters to schedule some dates to meet potential partners in person.”

Very disappointed How Many Times Are We Going To Have To Do This has only one article tagged. :P

Young men are so angry at women. I don’t get it. There’s no female equivalent of this phenomenon.

I mean. I lol’d.

So I did the HCG diet. (I know.) I suspect all the weighing, measuring, and obsessing has led to my budding alcoholism present-day. Alcohol is the only “food” that effectively negates your ability to measure it after awhile so I subconsciously began to prefer it because I literally can’t remember feeling guilty and…

Interestingly your comment made me double-check the definition of affluent.

Maybe that’s what that is? “Too nice” people haven’t had to go through shit?
