I think you are onto something there.

So, I’m childfree and plan to remain so. But I have a close friend who is dealing with infertility and she’s given me insights into a lot of things people casually say, not knowing they’re hurtful.

I’m starting to get those lectures too. “But your parents would be SUCH good grandparents! I know your mom is dying for grandkids.”

I’m sorry you guys had to go through that.

Dude. People think women are obsessed with children, but literally every straight guy I know my age (early 30s) isn’t looking for a girlfriend/wife — he’s looking for a host.

I wore a lovely fitted lace column dress from BHLDN. And all my husband’s relatives were like, “That dress is so ... you. So simple!”

I was literally just at Dubai Mall, and, during the call to prayer, hijab-wearing women didn’t skip a beat and kept looking at clothing at H&M.

Even cropped, I see white and gold. I am an owl also.

Yes.

I despise the practice of overbooking, but there are times when
“no-shows” do cost the airline money. The most common one: The no-shows were delayed from a connecting flight due to weather, and the airline books them on a future flight at no charge.

Exactly. I’m not a fan of watching with subtitles either, but I’d rather make that TINY sacrifice so that more people can enjoy the movie.

Supposedly, it’s part of the process of “deal-making.”

*standing ovation*

Varies by small town, I guess.

Real conversation with my parents (who voted for Trump):

My in-laws leading up to the election: “He’s bluffing. Like a good business-man.”

I had a similar experience with my friends. It felt like most of my white friends were disappointed that there weren’t more jokes about being Indian. Anyone who watches Aziz Ansari’s stand-up knows that he does NOT center his jokes on his ethnicity, but more on his stage in life and the universal struggles of dating.

Konkani!

Yeah... that’s a really good point.

Finally, a Romcom that is relevant to my interests.
