Women like sex a lot but you are seriously underrating how generally deranged the average male mind is. Louis CK was absolutely right when he said "You GET to have these thoughts, we HAVE to have these thoughts."

My only problem is that this person did this hoax on a subreddit for and populated by women. Too bad it wasn't in relationships or something.

I feel like looking at pretty much any dating site's metrics will tell you which gender is more thirsty.

Except women still have more to be afraid of when they engage in that kind of stuff (meeting randos).

Also, masturbating is sort of cool when you're a woman because the toys don't look nearly as creepy, a bunch of them look classy as hell.

Yeah, combined with the fact that their later comments in that topic are just them saying how they're not going to pursue any action in getting the articles they list corrected or taken down or anything. It makes them look really lovely.

Buck Angel takes dick in his vagina like a man tho.

Also fun fact I learned while googling Buck Angel again: Buck Angel was married to a dominatrix who divorced him to be with Lana Wachowski aka trans half of the Matrix siblings.

Aren't both of the Wachowskis trans?

I don't think the OP is under any obligation to spend time trying to help tabloids salvage their nonexistent credibility on a story she never asked them to publish. That's just unpaid labor.

It is directly relevant dicknuts, men are more willing to use a service that means meeting potentially shady randos than women, regardless of sex hunger.

No but if you're going to go "AHA, GOTCHA!" you should probably act like you care rather than just shrugging and walking away from it. Except when you come back to bask in the attention of people who call you an rear end in a top hat. But I guess I'm just being silly, trusting someone actually believes what they say.

My [28M] gf [29F] gets frustrated or annoyed with me when I "say stupid things" or "ask stupid questions". I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with her and have to carefully pick my words.

Dating for a bit over a year now. This is something that hasn't come up since early in our relationship (which actually puts the timing around last holiday season), but Sam has been under a lot of work stress lately and it seems like every little thing is setting her off in some way.

Yesterday she worked 13 hours on her feet. When we were settling down that evening I made the fatal flaw of speaking before carefully hand crafting my question to avoid confrontation and asked her, "Hey, how was it? Did you have a long day?" She was instantly angry at me for asking such a stupid question and no poo poo her day was long.

What I meant was "How was your day?"--I just wanted to hear how her day was and give her the opportunity to talk about it if she wanted to. What it turned into was her berating me for asking her in a stupid way--"If you're going to talk to me, you should think before you talk."

She's been acting like this since her hours started ramping up for the holidays, and it's putting me on edge. We've only have an hour or so with each other before she has to turn in for bed, and sometimes I feel like that hour is like navigating a maze. I've been brushing off her frustration up until now, but it's suddenly starting to get to me. I've been getting up at 4:30am to make breakfast for her, making dinner so it's ready when she gets home, and trying to be very supportive. I should be treated better than this.



How can I explain that her behavior isn't ok without her getting defensive and saying "I need to think before talking to her". In her mind, this is my problem and her getting angry is my fault.

tl;dr: My girlfriend has been on edge with work. She's been taking that stress home in the form of being snappy at little things I say. I'm walking on eggshells with her and her response when I brought it up was "I need to think before I speak". I'm really trying to be supportive during her crazy holiday schedule, but her jerkiness is countermining my want to support her. I'm starting to want to get away from her.

My [26F] Housemate [30F] is essentially taking the living room hostage with her sickness. Help!

I live in a share house with 5 other people. One of them, Amy, is really sick and is coughing up a storm. She was sent home from work yesterday because her coworkers didn't want to get sick but she is still working from home.

The problem; yesterday I was working from home on the dining table in the living room, Amy get's in around 12:30, tells me she needs to work from home and can't work from her room because its too small(?). I'm not exactly sure (english isn't her first language). Anyway, she needs to also work in the living room to work. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, I am fine working with other people around as long as they are quiet, except Amy sounds like she has whooping cough AND I don't want to get sick with Christmas vacation just around the corner, so I was the one who had to leave, even though I was working there first.

Now I get that it sucks to be sick, but I think it's super inconsiderate to infect a room meant for 6 people. She's working there today as well and since it's the dining table, nobody can sit there to eat while she's working or after without busting out the clorox wipes. No one wants to sit on the couch and watch TV or relax because she has taken over the room.

There's not much I can do besides wash my hands more often, I can't really police her an makes sure she does the same and uses tissues and be all around more conscientious of things like door handles and light switches. I really think she should quarantine herself in her room until she is better, am I being unreasonable? Do I say something or just wait it out? I don't think it's fair that I have to stay in my room (and the other 4 housemates) to avoid getting sick while she has free roam of the house.
EDIT: We all have a desk and a chair in our rooms, the living room is just more spacious.

tl;dr: My housemate is taking the house hostage with flu. Is there anything I can do about this without causing unnecessary drama?

My family doesn't think that my girlfriend's [28F] daughter [2F] is actually hers

Im 32, girlfriend's 28, we've known each other for more than 10 years and I've previously been in a relationship with her. That was when she was 20 and I was 24. We dated for two years but then broke up.

She then married another guy when she was 25. They had a child together, but since she was underweight at the time and could not get pregnant, they underwent in vitro fertilization and had a surrogate mother carry the child (but the child is not genetically related to the surrogate).

Sadly, her husband passed away when their baby daughter was one month old. This was around two/three years ago.

My girlfriend and I rekindled our relationship this year, and she's been very upfront about everything. I've met her daughter, who is absolutely adorable, and it doesn't bother me in the least that she has a child.

It bothers my family, however. Namely, my mother. Once I told her that my girlfriend has a child with her previous husband, she immediately was suspicious. She grew even more suspicious upon seeing a picture of my girlfriend and her daughter together.

My girlfriend is half-Chinese and her daughter is technically a quarter Chinese, but you can barely tell. Her daughter has light blonde hair, almost white, and sky blue eyes. My mother thinks that my girlfriend is lying to me about her daughter and that she's bringing up her dead husband's lovechild. Of course, the fact that they used a surrogate and there's no pictures of my GF being pregnant further solidified my mother's theory.

I ve been trying to explain to my mother that my GF's husband was blonde and that since my GF was half-white as well its not THAT surprising that their kid turned out to be blonde and blue eyed, but she's still concerned. She's even managed to convince my older sister. Now they're both telling me to break up with her, that she's lying to me about the kid and for me not to be "entrapped" by her.

I haven't told any of this to my GF yet because I dont want it to upset her. But my mother and sister (and even my father now) have started doubting the parentage of my GF's daughter. I don't know what to do, because no amount of explanation seems to satisfy them.

I trust my GF 100%, but they don't. It's becoming a big problem because I plan on marrying her and I don't want to do it to the disapproval of my family. I'm 32, have a stable job, and on top of that I'm really in love with my girlfriend. She is the only woman I've ever been in love with. So I'm seriously considering proposing to her after a year or so, but I don't want there to be any animosity and distrust between her and my family.

So, I'm stuck here. How should I convince my parents and family that my girlfriend is NOT lying about her daughter?

TL;DR: My girlfriend has a 2 year old daughter with her husband (passed away). My mother has managed to convince most of my family that my GF is lying about the fact that its actually her daughter. She cites the fact that my girlfriend is half-Asian and that her daughter has blonde hair and blue eyes as evidence. They're all ganging up on her and I don't know how to convince them that my GF is not lying.
