I had assumed Rhode Island.

women are just too forgiving of men's bad behavior. Forgiving to the point where they sacrifice their lives to it. This is why women should pay attention when a man gets off on winning small power struggles. It will always lead to more controlling behavior or worse.

a pluralistic secular society is the only way forward. Nobody gets to live in a religious or ethnically pure society anymore. Those are things of the past.

It's like he's talking to a dumb 12 year old and hoping against hope something gets through.

I am a landlord and this is my policy too. Also, no art students unless accompanied by a responsible spouse. But I don't mind kids as much as 20 somethings.

because 'orient' is not a place. 'oriental' is vague and unspecific. You can't lump all asian people into 'oriental', it's insulting.

Who doesn't? They have better headlines, better visual storytelling and enough stupid to make you feel superior. Plus you can mess with their comments rating arrows without having to sign up.

THIS. I have a nice life. Why would I bring someone into it who will make it worse, not better?

Someone who can be relied on should a be a minimum requirement for any kind of relationship, not an optional add on.

I'm a landlord, and a woman. For the love of God do not flush tampons!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Even with newer plumbing. Tampons are made to absorb and expand. Good grief.

I'll be impressed when he dusts those innumerable shelves.

This must be really attractive to guys.

the bigger the wedding the bigger the divorce. Not always true but frequently so.

Honey, the " you will have to choose" is BS. I was supposed to 'choose' 20 years ago and I do exactly as you describe - 'bounce between the two countries unchecked for the rest of their lives'.

he's still an old though.

At least I fucking finished my undergrad ( philo) and grad degrees ( art theory) without dropping out to become a prostitute for fun instead. And yeah, I finished a sprint triathlon ( half a regular tri) this year and will train for the full one next year. So yeah, I think I get to be the smug one here.

I agree with everything you say here. What I take issue with is this woman's laziness. Here we have someone who dropped out of college, does the easiest ( if not the safest) job in the world ( seriously, waiting tables requires more skill) in which she is privileged by her race and class and then pursues an 'art…

There is a lot of truth in what you say. Why should women help men with their crappy personalities and sexual dysfunction? Are you his mother? What's in it for me exactly when I can choose someone who isn't an emotional cripple? Men should be responsible for their own emotional lives and libidos, not pay someone to…

Actually, yes. And other sex workers. Though the lady who was an actual prostitute came to give a talk to the teens I was mentoring about how they should never become sex workers.

So let's just let go of this fantasy that they chose prostitution for the pure love of sex with strangers and admit they do it for the money. Labor conditions are crap in this country and there are hardly any jobs that pay a decent wage these days. Let's not kid ourselves that all these people just love being…
