Can you imagine the outrage if the NYT published a story where an unemployed 37 year old man brags about hooking up with a 23 year old woman after "a bottle of vodka and cans of Diet Coke"?

Anti-male sexism aside, I luked this story, but it would have been improved by an extra thousand words of loving, sucking, handjobbing and fingrering detail.

and just like all of you im sexually objectifying a person 14 years my junior who i just banged, even though i got this job for ranting about how no one should ever be objectified again.

this is secretly the whole game to privileged first world existence friend. women just have to be a little cleverer about it since their penis cant do the talking.

They're either privileged or the lickspittle to the privileged, at least for the past two decades or so. gently caress New York.

nyc was probably cool as late as like 1994 or so when it was still dangerous and gross and perverse and you were gonna get knifed or mugged or hustled by a midget hooker or something. bring back Death Wish-era New York. It seems like it's loving Disney's New York City now.

ok this was 2000 but it loving owns and is possibly the latest vestige of when nyc was still a cool place

Mr. Creakle: Apr 27, 2007; Protecting your virginity

As someone who went to college on East 23rd, gently caress this lady. I went about a decade ago but you could already see everything around there being expensive as gently caress while pushed-out homeless black people lived in the streets.

Maybe the city is nice for rich Manhattanites or starry-eyed Midwestern idiots whose only exposure to NYC was on TV, but anyone who grew up in the hood knows the truth and tries to get out of that literal rat's nest as quickly as possible.

Welcome to another spectacularly pointless article that is for some reason featured on the home page of the New York Times!

I thought about posting this in the /r/relationships thread, where it honestly fits, but this is stupid enough to deserve its own thread.

Who decides to print this sort of crap.

Anyways Sanders would have won.

edit: link to article https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/20/style/modern-love-single-unemployed-and-suddenly-myself.html

I agree. Sanders would have won. The rest........blah.

The lady sucks
The article blows
People will use it as another bullet point in the culture wars
It lays bare the comical inequality of life in america in a way that's eminently lampoonable

It's the perfect recipe for a gbs multidozen page thread where the middle thirty pages are a slapfight between magamen and trotsky's numbers

For people that have never read NYT, every week somebody has to write an article outside of the lifestyle section that's basically a rich person jerkoff session.

Last month it was how insurance companies automatically send private security forces by helicopter, often mere hours ahead of an adverse weather event, to secure private art and weatherproof mansions and if you don't want them to come you better have your help call ahead to cancel
