“The thorny part is that some girls want to send naked pictures”

Yep, all of them. My nephew is 19. A few years ago, he got ina physical altercation with a friend of his bc his friend made a girl cry by sending a boob pic around the school. My nephew (a bit naive and socially stupid- I love the kid, but it’s true) told the kid he was gross and to knock it off or he’d report him.…

Relax, relax, put the pearls down— nobody said “stop kids from exploring their sexuality”. Nowhere was that included in the above post. I said to stop kids from entering into the prelude to criminal acts AND the criminal acts themselves. That’s perfectly fine to do without warping your kids’ sexuality. Restrict the…

would require violating the privacy of both parties to the point of making normal teenage behaviors impossible.

I wasn’t really talking about girls who are pressured: whether they have self-esteem or not, they are victims of predatory entitlement and/or stupid shit kids do because they don’t have all their frontal lobes.

Why would they change anything when they are the ones who benefit from the situation?

I wish I had something clever to say but I’m too busy cry-laughing at how ridiculous this is. Is this an SNL parody? “It feels like mountains, trees, campfires. Like Wild West but now” hahahahaha I’m dying 

Help them get involved SO HARD in an activity. Then, they love themselves because they respect their own abilities and they have zero time for bullshit. It’s the only solution. It worked for me, and my other swimming friends, and it’s working for my daughter. She’s a pre-pro ballerina and she has does not deal with…

It’s really not the worst thing...and I say this as a married mom for 25 years- I would KILL to be alone! I LOVED being single and living alone in a clean house where all my shot was where I left it.

I think I have that settled - I live with my best friend and our cat. 2 happy spinsters with no drama and no heartbreak. I still have my lonely moments, but I think thats just my personality. We’ve lived together now since I was in my early 20's and although it wasn’t planned we’ve stumbled upon something that works…

I love my hubby, but hot damn: “You know honey, marriage is great in some ways. But men are a lot of work.” That is full on truth.

My mother always used to say that if you met a guy who was still unmarried at 35 and had never been in a series long-term relationship, there was a good reason they were unmarried. When I was younger I thought, “mom, you are so misandrist/agist”; now I think, “mom, you were so right.”

What I’m saying here is technology has made communication easier, yes, but has also made real intimacy trickier. Finding love is harder now I think.

As I sit here with my boyfriend who I love, I have to agree with you. Men are a lot of thankless work. I like sex with them and a certain amount of companionship, but they are so draining and give so little back.

He looked ridiculous,like a bougie Paddington Bear or something.

I was never a looker and kind of a dork but I and most of my friends didn’t have trouble meeting people and dating in the pre technology days. I think it’s because back then you usually met them at a party or bar or class and were forced to have face to face conversation. You knew pretty quickly if you had that “hmm…

So when I read this the first time I thought it said Steve-o, and it didn’t make any sense but I thought nothing of it. Now that I realize that it’s Steve Harvey, it still doesn’t make any sense.

Great post.
