Dude. Go grey with some dignity.

I'll jump in with you. I've had pretty much 100% competent and effective nurses in my life. Almost every one was patronizing and condescending.

All joking aside... I have had some TERRIBLE nurses who were more dangerous than helpful.

Ghosting is awful. And I am currently doing it. I hate myself for it so much. I am super anti-confrontation and I need to get over that because it makes me an asshole.

I don't know how much effort went into forming that equation but it was worth it, whatever it was.

A visual aid to help answer this question:

He was doing a upper class English accent in Mortdecai not his actual accent. He was doing this terrible fucking Terry Thomas accent. He can’t do posh or even Southern English - see Cassandras Dream.

Uh...sorry, but I don’t see any expression of privilege here. Is there some level of adiposity you need to be in order to get the “true fat” trophy that lets you call yourself fat?

SeeI wanted to love Locke but the fucking accent distracted the hell out of me. I was so confused! Was he supposed to be a Indian man who moved to Wales in his 20’s?

Haha yeah, I met a few other Americans in my years there but only one other true southerner. Now he’s studying in Helsinki, so there must be something that links us! Sometimes the Finnish/Scandinavian dudes would pay, especially the slightly older ones who knew a little more about the world and what I probably…

You’re not the only one, but see above:

I might have to do with region, I’m in the south. Dudes will be offended though they don’t always act like it, but you’ll hear about it later if that’s the case. They claim it comes off as ungrateful or demeaning. I think it’s one of those things so many guys have had drilled into their heads for so long that a lot of…

There is something that is so entrenched in our culture that men pay. I will say there was a time where I wanted to pay in order to show that I was a suitable boyfriend material. Also there is a weird idea that paying doesn’t make you entitled to sex. But not paying meant that proposition was completely off the table.

This is the first relationship I’ve been in where my girlfriend makes more than I do. So she pays for things a bit more often than I do. But what is wonderful about it is that unlike my previous relationships, we’re on a great footing as far as divisions of finances will go once we decide to cohabitate. Also it feels…

And honestly, if you are spending so much money on prepping for a date that you think you deserve to have that date paid for by the person you’re going out with, it’s time to rethink your life.

You are not a total weirdo. When I was in the dating world (I left it 10 years ago), it was my habit to split the bill, or to follow the whomever asked the other person out pays for the meal thing. Or if the date was going well, we’d go for dinner one place and then maybe head for dessert or coffee or drinks at…

Whether or not my offering to split the check results in an adverse reaction from the man makes a big impact on whether or not there will be a next date :)

Nope, I always tried as well, and it frequently resulted in weird, awkward, or angry reactions from the guys.

Okay, I’ll bite. Am I really the only one who at least tries to get the guy to let me chip in for half? Sometimes the guy on the date stubbornly won’t let me, in which case I’ll usually concede (because I don’t want to get into a huge argument about it) and pay for the second date (if there is one) or, if we’re going…

I was forced to track food and measure portions when I did Weight Watchers, and I found that it caused me to eat with less variety. When I was tired and hungry and in a hurry, I was more likely to reach for something that I constantly ate and therefore already knew the stats for. Constantly trying new foods meant a…
