She's 6'3". I don't think she's going to have an easy time finding someone taller than her.

Where do I sign up for the polysex thing?

EDIT: After fiddling with these weird 'murican units I take that back, she's still shorter than me. Dammit.

Then you've never really been drunk.
You see, getting drunk and making horrible life-changing decisions that you'll have to deal with when you sober up is the Dark Souls of real life.

There's a kid who works under me who is this and it kinda sucks watching him put everything into the relationship when she doesn't really care that much.

Like I'm pretty sure she thinks she cares but honestly all they had in common was getting high as gently caress and then loving which is okay when you're 18 but now she's pregnant because they didn't use condoms because "she had a rare condition that makes it almost impossible" and welp.

Geez. That poor idiot.

I do feel bad for short guys and guys with small dicks. Sure, they can try to overcome these handicaps in various ways (i.e. get rich, get buff), but regardless they are objectively and subjectively major personal flaws that are genetic and thus unchangeable.

That's why video games > relationships. I've yet to have a video game tease me about my microdick.

It depends on where you were born. 8-9 is about average in the US and it's on the lower end.
Now if you were born in Scandinavia then the average penis length is about 11 to 12 inches.

I feel like those kind of people aren't in love with their SO, they're in love with the idea of being married.
So they try to have this retarded overly-expensive wedding with gifts and poo poo and their husband is just there to make it all possible and if they can't then gently caress 'em.

Same poo poo as with people who need to be in a relationship no matter what or with whom and then their stories end up here.

It's kind of hard to say in that last one because the skinny roommate could be exaggerating due to her eating disorder, but the fat bitch could be doing all of that too. Sometimes obese people who are also mentally ill/insecure think that anyone under landwhale size is "dangerously skinny".

Fat girl's weird food thing kind of reminds me of a (much milder) version of Caterham. For those who haven't read it read the Caterham tales for some of the funniest mentally ill fat people stuff ever: https://m.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplestories/comments/248rr8/the_caterham_tales_part_i_the_first_shift/

They're supposed to be true but people are discouraged to try to "verify" them or anything so it's just a collection of amusing stories that you're supposed to take at face value for amusement (or sadness).

Me [19 F] with my not quite long distance boyfriend [19 M]-- ended things with him bc he didn't understand sexism, but regretting it

quote:

Hi all, for some context: my (19F) long distance (not quite) boyfriend (19M) and I had been seeing each other for around 4 months. When we finally reunite in the fall we were going to start dating. I like him a lot.

He brought up a story about his friend's hook-up, and the way he described it made me uncomfortable. We argued about the sexist language he and his friends used to describe hook-ups, like "close on" or "finish".

The argument went on and he admitted that he didn't really care about the topic. I, as a woman, was apalled-- I explained to him that his lack of caring was to me a sign of disrespect and a lack of caring for the women in his life, like his friends and family. I continued to try to explain to him why I found the language and its objectification of women uncomfortable but he responded with more questions, more disagreements.

I welcome questions and I'm all for disagreeing but I just wanted him to see why it was so important. I even said it pretty directly to him, but he didn't get it.

I confided in two friends, male and female, who were pretty disturbed by him and insisted that I end things with him for my own good-- so I did. A rash decision, but it felt like now or never to me.

Now I've known he's not the sharpest tool in the box when it comes to anything that's not math, so I was hoping that all the stuff he was saying we due to the fact that all of what I was saying was completely new to him, or that he was confounded by it, but my friends insisted otherwise, and I too felt pretty awful when I read what he was saying. I wanted to respond to his questions and disagreements but stopped myself, and decided to end things with him right then and there at my friends' urging. He responded with "If that's what you want, so be it."

All I wished was that he cared, or even believed in me, but he didn't. Or was unaware. I don't know. The latter sounds much better to me than the former. This decision was rash and I really like him but I couldn't stomach being with someone who refused to understand/who was okay with subtle sexism (sexism is sexism, no matter how subtle.) I decided I had enough self-respect not to be with someone like that. But at the same time I think of how just maybe he just didn't get it.

Anyway, I guess I just need some advice, some words, someone to help me sort out these feelings and figure out if what I did was right or wrong. Thanks very much, all.

tldr; ended thing with my guy because he said he was okay with subtle sexism. but second guessing my decision on the basis he might just be a little slow and needed more help understanding...
