Well, think about whether you'd help a young man or leave him in the lurch, and think about whether you'd help if the woman in question is 6'1" and 190 pounds of muscle, handling the suitcase quite easily. Agreed that th

I have to say, I've met a number of socially awkward guys who flirt in a cute way, and a number of socially smooth guys who are super creepy. And some people are creepy on purpose -- negging, pushing boundaries, looking for the weak on

Lord, the grandiosity here is breathtaking. You've set it up as: I achieve SUCCESS and am a winner, or I fail again and again and again at everything I do and I'm a failed startup founder and on my way to death. I understand that

That's a pretty simplistic formulation. Doesn't sound like you've encountered the harm that a depressed mother can inflict on a child, born or unborn.

Not quite. He said there are rules they should have followed, which might have lead them to resources available. Since they didn't follow the rules, there are not resources. I don't think they can just go back to a previous countr

I'd be much more scared to bike in Greensboro than in Manhattan. Drivers aren't used to bikes and the streets in some areas are poorly set up for biking (no shoulders, many lanes in each direction, high speed limits, so you have t

Co-ops are great! I am from a part of the US that has a lot, thanks to the trickle-down influence of all the left-wingers in northern Minnesota and upper Michigan (Wisconsin seems to have a different ethnic mix and lots of farmer co-ops but

Do 10-year-old girls count as "women"? I think your concerns about the dynamic are very valid -- on both sides -- but it's probably useful to remember that the girls and boys specifically mentioned in the article are pre-pube

Yep. I think that science is finding that "parasite" as we've understood it is prejudicial and covers up many of the benefits we had no idea these things provided. Some of them filter heavy metals in sharks. Some of them prev

I have to disagree. Sure women do more cardio, but the cardio increasing thigh musculature? Not a chance. Squatting increases thigh musculature. Doing the elliptical for an hour a day does not. Running slowly or at a medium speed does not.

Modeling is not an obsession, it's a job. You do it when you're young, smoke a lot of cigarettes etc, and then you move on. It's like grad school but with even more skeezy old guys. (Now, math modeling may become an obsession
