Rode an Amtrak train this weekend for the first time and loved it, until I heard about their derailment tragedy this morning. Between that and my parents being in Vegas during the shooting, I’m starting to think there’s some kind of tug-of-war for my family’s souls going on.
I thought my weekend was terrible because I spent an entire day flying with the worst hangover of my life, but this column always assures me that things could have been worse.
My parents are absolutely horrified that I don’t want kids. Their biggest argument is that I’ll be lonely when I’m older and regret it. As if I should do something as massively life-changing as having a child right now that I don’t even want on the off-chance that I may wish I had kids when I’m older. If I really do regret it, I’ll just console myself with my husband, pack of dogs, pile of money and a trip to a different country.
It’s insanely easy to find, I just don’t know how people afford it on a regular basis. I tried it once and really don’t see the appeal. You get a big boost in energy for like 20 minutes and then you’re fiending for more the rest of the night. And if you’re at a crowded bar, have fun spending the entire night in line for the bathroom. Not really worth the $200 price tag.
Wait, what? I literally said word for word that it’s wrong to make a guy out to be a predator if two drunk people have sex, but that it’s also wrong for anyone, guy or girl, to take advantage of a person who is more drunk than them. I thought the author was referring to a situation where a more sober guy sleeps with a clearly drunk girl, which is totally wrong. Like it would be wrong for a sober girl to do the same if the roles were reversed. You just disagreed with me and then went on to restate my entire first point.
To the second, I would say don’t waste your time on any person, guy or girl, who doesn’t seem interested. Either they’re genuinely not interested or they’re actually playing hard to get, which is weird and childish, so why would you want to go out with them anyways if they’re like that?
To your first point- I totally agree that it’s ridiculous to make the guy out to be a predator if two drunk people have sex. But the author wasn’t referring to that kind of situation. She was talking about a situation where the guy knows a girl didn’t want to hook up when she was sober a few hours ago but decides to hook up with her anyways when she’s drunk and not able to think straight. It’s sleazy to take advantage of a person whose much more drunk than you, wether it’s a guy or girl.
To the second point, a girl who’s playing hard to get is putting out vibes and clues that she isn’t interested. Yes, it’s a stupid, childish thing to do. But if men are reacting based on those vibes, shouldn’t they leave her alone anyways if that’s what she’s putting out? The author is just saying to not assume that a girl who doesn’t seem interested is actually trying to make you want her.
I have no defense for the third point. I thought it was ridiculous too and also said as much in an earlier comment.
Commenting twice on one article because this line bothered me so much – “It’s because, unfortunately, it’s sometimes less annoying to just let a guy fuck you and get it over with than to be harassed all night”. Sorry but this is just bullshit. I’m not fucking an annoying creep just because he won’t leave me alone and I don’t know any other girl who would. That’s the exact opposite of a normal reaction, which is to tell him to fuck off or just to leave the area yourself. Find a different bar or party but Jesus, don’t reward that terrible behavior.
#1 is so freaking important. If you ask a girl at the bar if she wants to get out of there and she says no, don’t push or ask why not. I get hit with that response all the time and it’s annoying. We both know Im saying I don’t want to leave with you because I don’t want to hook up, so don’t make me feel like I have to justify that beyond saying no. Also don’t pull the ‘we don’t have to do anything’ card because that shit’s not fooling anyone either.
Why do you recommend paying as little as possible? I pay more than my monthly payments because I want that debt gone as soon as possible, but I really don’t know shit about finance.

I read somewhere that she still makes around $500,000 every year just from All I Want For Christmas is You.
Uhh, I was mentioning a bad weekend in an article about bad weekends? Relax, this is the comment section of an entertainment site.
I used to always watch Jersey Shore while getting ready to go out and I’m only a little embarrassed to admit that.
I love the amount of Batman in this list.

Going on my first ever solo vacation because I found insanely cheap plane tickets but no co pilot. Wish me luck!
Jesus I love your comments so much

I don’t think so. We all got sent home earlier this year because the water was shut off. Burst pipe or something.
My company just changed the dress policy so we can wear jeans every day now. It’s amazing.
Please take me somewhere warm. I will buy you so many margaritas I just need to feel the sun again.
With my ability to work from home, I tend to just hibernate in my apartment all winter. Face to face interaction can wait until the spring.
What. The. Fuck.
