Like Incoherence said, half of that stuff is actually decent advice, just twisted through an insane manipulative point of view. A lot of the PUA scene is like that, like the whole concept of "negging" is just people trying to understand playful banter in scientific formulaic terms.

There used to be a really awful PUA thread with a corresponding great Helldump thread mocking it, circa 2008 or so. I don't have archives so I don't know what happened to it or where Helldump threads actually went.

Me [27 F] with my boyfriend [29 M] of 10 years, he constantly burps and farts..

quote:

Okay, So this just happened.. again.. We went to have sex and he farted super loud. Didn't seem like he had any intention on holding it in. If it was a rare accident, I would have not cared a bit, embarrassing slips happen to everyone... but he was fully aware he was doing it. I just couldn't have sex with him. Farting can be funny when you both are on a couch watching tv and goofing around, but in sex it is an instant turn off... I tried explaining that it is not hot, and i really don't want to have sex anymore and he got really offended.

Now this is constant problem. He burps every few minutes. Claims he can't control it. He farts everywhere, even in my car with windows closed when i drive him to work... multiple times. Doesn't keep it a secret. Doesn't stop after i ask him multiple times. Claim's he can't control his farts and i am an insensitive person for blaming it on him.

Am i delirious and he is right, or? and what to do?

tl;dr: Boyfriend constantly farts and burps. Not hot. Gets offended by talking about it. What to do?

lmao that guy was metal as hell

My [21F] brother [20M] is disgusting and I'm afraid to be in my own home.

quote:

For starters, yes, I'm still loving at home. My family has 3 cars between us- my dad's truck, mom's sedan, and mom's old car (that my brother and I share). Between my brother and I, my mom's old car gets a lot of use during the week (He's a pizza delivery driver but we both pay for gas separately as we take the car out).
Today being the 'holiday' that it was, my brother the stoner made it clear that his intentions were to be with his friends and veg out all day. So before I left for work, I offered him a ride to wherever he wanted to go so that I could use the car. He quickly got defensive and said I couldn't use "his" car. Fine, whatever. I went to ask my mother if I could borrow her car because my brother had plans. She had needed to go shopping in anticipation of a trip she's leaving for tomorrow, so she shouted me down and insisted I take her old car. Assuming my brother would fall in line and figure out his ride situation, I left for work without a second thought.
I got home a few hours ago and of course I immediately head to bed after a long day. I go to sit and notice my bed was damp. At first I thought I might have left a wet towel on my bed by mistake, or that my dog had drooled there in my absence. But the smell was unmistakable - someone had pissed in my bed. I immediately jumped out and ran to tell my dad. We stripped back the sheets to find it was all over the mattress.
My dad went to wake up and confront my brother. Of course, he denies it and tried to blame our (housebroken) dog with a poo poo - eating grin. Finally he broke down and admitted it was in response to my taking "his" car, even after he was offerred rides from my parents as well.
I honestly don't know what to think right now. I made him wash my sheets and my parents made him load up my mattress in the trunk to throw it out and are going to make him buy me a new one. But I still feel violated and disgusted. What's worse is that my parents are leaving for 2 weeks in Europe tomorrow, so it's just going to be my brother and I. I'm afraid of what he or I might do, because honestly, I wanted to break his nose. I'm also unsure of what else he could have done in my room while I was gone.
tl;dr: Laugh all you want, I'm afraid to be in my own home. Please give me some advice.
Edit: Filing a police report, getting a lock, staying with a friend and investing in a new toothbrush. Got it, thanks.
Edit 2: successfully installed a deadbolt, filed a police report ('domestic dispute' because I didn't technically own the mattress, but whatever), got a new toothbrush, and have plans to stay with a friend and take care of my puppy. Thanks to you all.

I don't know what kind of idiot buys a dilapidated property next to a public park and is surprised that there is interference or trespassing, but I hope she embraces her inner arsonist and denies that lovely community their monumental hobo hump shack/public toilet/teenage drink n' gently caress spot permanently.

Or just install some cameras, call the police, and then sue the city when the police refuse to do anything when presented with hard evidence of criminals doing criminal poo poo.

I think they should gently caress right there on the Thanksgiving spread, right in front of the Lord and Grandma and everyone, and let the chips fall where they may.

But whatever happens, definitely DON'T confront him and the wife while he's sober, and explain that his infatuation is pointless and unwelcome and that it is making you wild uncomfortable, and that while you love your sister dearly, you are disinviting yourself from hanging out with them until he gets his libido under control.

How can I get my husband to consider a sensible career, like restaurant ownership or self-publishing?

After working with a number of neophyte, small-time restaurant owners, I no longer consider owning a restaurant a sensible career.

Working for an owner is a great job if you love watching failure and neglect slowly consume a business though, and if the owner checks out mentally/emotionally, you can eat for free every day and get away with doing a terrible loving job.

It's one I got, I don't remember the exact phrasing but it was like a second date so after that I just told him I wasn't interested in seeing him again.

I've gone on dates with loads of guys, but if anything my broken moron detector is too sensitive because I'm the one who tells them nah. Like maybe he was trying to do a bit or something, but I'm pretty straightforward and am going to take him at his word, in which case nah because if I choke I'm gonna barf. I don't want to spend the rest of my life barfing on some guy's dick all the time.

No one cares.

She (31f) killed my (27m) nice guy side after a 2 year relationship. what do i do?

quote:

This is going to be a long one, so please bare with me.

First of all, we are still together, I actually just moved in two weeks ago.

2 years ago, I was the nicest guy. I would take my gf on dates constantly, buy her presents, the works. I loved her and she, me. Now, instead of seeing the red flags everywhere, i put on the blinders and went along with my so-called happiness.

Present time: I still get the "Thank you, babe!" when I buy her something, whether it be food, gifts, a massage, what-have-you. However, i feel unappreciated, lonely, unhappy and mean. How did I get here?

Tonight, I talked to a friend and told him everything that was on my chest, which I was finally able to put into words and come here for any and all advice I can get.

First thing that came to mind. She has completely taken advantage of my niceness. When I go out she EXPECTS me to bring something back to her. I would, at first, just be thinking about her, "oh! she probably would like something to drink from dunkin donuts!" I know this is partly my fault for almost always when going out bringing her back something (just coffee or a snack), but it was a nice gesture. When she goes out, even two years ago, she never even thought to bring me back anything, ever. Only if I specifically asked her to.

Sex. There is none. I'm 27 and do not have a sex life. I would never ever cheat, but over the passed year, I've just stopped asking. She will ONLY have sex while drunk, and I obviously do not want to have sex unless I am drunk too. Never one blowjob offer after a long hard day, no sweetly laying her down and passionately making love to her. When I need to get off, time to go to the bathroom with my iPad and watch some porn and jerk off on the toilet.

Kissing and other affection. Again, basically none. A goodnight kiss, a kiss before work, (peck kissing, she does not passionate kiss ever except during those very rare sex act.) and even those aren't guaranteed. Hugs and other such things? Meh, sometimes, and they are half-assed with her sitting down and me bending down to hug her. Sometimes she will get up.

Her pets. Her cat and bird hate me. Her bird will attack me anytime it's out of the cage. It bit me three times (would fly away after biting and come back for more) and my eyes went red (i've been dealing with this bird attacking me for 2 years) and I almost killed it. She has said multiple times she would clip it's wings, but nope, not once. Her cat just likes to scratch me (I am NOT a cat person) and bite me, then act like i've abused it and my gf will coddle it and make it alllllll better. Shame on me for not liking cats and birds!

Thoughtfulness. I picked up my whole life, leaving friends, family and loving pets to live here with her. Yet, when I go up to my office the two times a week I have to go, after work I see my family and friends (from about 5 PM - 10 PM, I have an hour and a half drive home.) She has complained that I spend more time there than I do at home here (I am up there MAYBE 10 hours a week, tops). She has every single family, friend and her job here. I have to work from home (not so bad) and barely see friends or family anymore due to gas prices, being broke and the like. She broke me yesterday as we fought about it and I just yelled at her for telling me I am spending entirely too much time there when she sees her parents and friends literally every day. gently caress me for wanting to see people I care about, right?

The last straw was we just celebrated our 2 years together. We didn't have funds to go out and eat, but I thoughtfully went out, got her flowers, a bluray movie and a new iPad cover that she wanted. I didn't ask for anything, but expected a little something. Nope. Nothing. It wasn't until a week later where I said, how are you enjoying your new gifts? She then said, Oh! I got your something, but I misplaced it (really?). Two weeks later, still nothing, so I casually mention the supposed gift and she goes, it's not done, but if you want it, you can have it. I said, "sure!". Excitedly I thought she got me something so awesome!....yep, you probably guessed it. It wasn't thoughtful at all. It was one of those cards, that say, "This is good for one sweet blah blah blah From Jerk, Love, Jerk" As she was handing the then blank card to me, she proceeds to write, "Happy Two Years, babe! Hope for hundreds more!" As she gave it to me, she had the biggest smile on her face, "Do you like it?" She asks. "Of course babe..." I proceed to say. Then sits back in the couch with a smile like she did something really thoughtful!

Sigh. r/relationships. Am i an idiot? Am I selfish? I feel stupid. I feel like she trained me, but right now, I feel drained and don't feel like a good person anymore. I feel taken advantage of by an older selfish woman.

I just need help. I don't know what to do. I want to love her like before, but now that all this has happened over the course of a year. I feel so loving dumb.

My friend says I should just cut my loses, break it off, and move out. It's only been two weeks, maybe it will get better? I've tried talking to her, but she does not like talking about feelings, and I do, very much so.

Help.

tl;dr - Girlfriend is selfish. Didn't see the signs for over a year. Just moved into her place. Maybe things will get better? Help. Please.

My [27F] husband [28M] of 2 years (together 5) has recently started to use the n-word for fun and keeps doing it despite my requests to stop.

quote:

This is corny as poo poo and I wish this wasn't happening in my life. You know that NWA movie that came out a while ago? My husband didn't even know what NWA was but hopped on the bandwagon quick and saw it in September. I didn't go because I have no interest in the movie. My husband sees the movie, comes back home, and acts like he's the hardest mofo in the town. In the following weeks, he starts listening to a ton of gangsta rap. I have no problem with this, I actually find it kind of cute, but my problem lies in his use of the n-word in everyday speech.

Since October, my husband has adopted the n-word into his daily vocabulary and says it constantly. Here are a few examples with their contexts.
  • Asking me when dinner will be ready- "When's the food gonna be ready, n***a?"

  • Complaining about his coworker- "I loving hate that n***a Dave, man."

  • Greeting me when he comes home from work- "What's good, my n***a?"
Although this isn't exactly relevant, my husband and I are both pasty Irish-Italian. We are super white and it only serves to amplify the cringe induced when my husband speaks like this. I've told him several times that's corny and cringey to hear him speak like that, and more importantly, it's racially insensitive. I tell him I'd appreciate it if he stops saying it and go back to normal, and he tells me it's no big deal. I tell him he's insulting an entire people and their history through his continued usage and he dismisses what I say as "tumblr bullshit" and that "no one is getting hurt by me saying the n-word".

He doesn't seem to understand that I'M getting hurt by it. I don't like hearing it in my household, and it makes me uncomfortable that my husband, the love of my life, can be so immature about this. I've told him several times that I don't like it and want him to stop, but he just doesn't care. I've asked some of my close friends about this and they too are baffled and appalled by my husband's behavior. They advised me to tell him very seriously how much it bothers me and I followed through it. Lo and behold, my husband once again did not give a poo poo. He said verbatim "It's not hurting anyone. Stop getting offended so easily, n***a".

I'm at my wit's end. Obviously this isn't a divorce-worthy issue. Yet there seems to be no solution to this problem. I've told him countless times to stop and he just doesn't care. I'm glad we don't have kids in the house to hear the n-word but drat it I don't want to hear it either. One of my friends suggested withholding sex until he stops but such a strategy seems really gross and I'm not so big on weaponizing sex. I'm completely at a loss as to how to get through to my husband. I don't want to live the rest of my life and raise children while my husband speaks in such a way. But holy poo poo, I can't think of anything to fix it.

tl;dr: Husband thinks he's a real g. Keeps using the n-word and doesn't stop despite my requests.

English not my first language, sorry for that! Also on mobile, so sorry for the typos.

I am a pretty clean person, so anything short of basic cleaniness is a major turn off for me. When I first dated mu bf, we were young so we did not makeout/have sex etc, so I may not have noticed the lack of hygeine. Recently, Im noticing that my bf wears the same outfit for weeks on end (we live separately so I cant confirm, but this is what it seems to be), and doesnt change his boxers for days. He claims that it's normal and that many guys do it, but I personally find it gross. I tried to tell him that, but he just argues that its normal and since i do not have definite proof of male underwear habits(only child, dad overseas, no prev relationship, religious male friends so may not be best to bring up), Idk what to say. Ive also been noticing some nasty gunk coated on his teeth-yellowy and nasty-not makeout material at all. That completed with BO was enough for me to pass on sex...so I wasnt very enthousiastic. Then after a while I try to tell him to brush floss and shower everyday and he tells me he does...but the evidence is still in his mouth! Bf recently discovered reddit, and often sends me links from r/deadbedroom and subtly tells me that he's sacrificing his natural libido bc of me... But it's super hard to get turned on when i can smell his smelly junk the moment his jeans are off...not to mention everything just stinks for his junk afterwards (both virgins when we met , std tested). He is uncircumsized btw. He also doesnt shower for days and if he often just washes his hair so it looks like he cleaned, and believes foreplay lasts about 5 seconds consisting of ripping off my clothes at once and poking a boob or two, and refuses to try lube or toys since to him theyre wastes of money. Please help!

i assumed it was some sort of dog galt poo poo post

Me [21F] with my housemate [21F]. She's been leaving her dog poo poo in a giant pile outside my door for weeks and I'm at my wit's end.

quote:

I live in a house with 4 other girls. My roommate is my good friend, but we aren't very close with the other girls. Those three are best friends. The dog poo poo girl, Kat, just moved in last month. I've never really liked her but I'm moving out soon so I didn't really care. I love my roommate though and she's gonna be with them next year. My roommate is currently out of town.

So we had some issues with our trashcans a couple whiles back and they were overflowing and we missed trash pickup. Kat had already left some dog poo poo by my door (which leads to outside) before and I called her on it and she told me she was trying to toss it into the trashcan and missed (it landed perfectly on the little fence ledge so I doubt that.) I've tried to cut her some slack because of the trashcan issue but now this pile is is huge. There are probably 30 dog shits in bags in a pile, all over the ground, some hanging in the bushes.

Her little loving stock pile is maybe (I. Am. Not. Exaggerating.) 2 steps from the trashcan. Today I couldn't handle it anymore and sent a text in that said "Excuse my language, but why is there a giant pile of dog poo poo outside mine and [roommate's] door?" with a picture of the pile up. My roommate texted in that she was wondering too, and another girl said that she hadn't noticed it and asked how long it had been there and I said weeks. I sent it in at 11:30am and Kat never responded.

Just now I was sitting in my room and saw her go outside. I watched through my window, and she put all the dog poo poo into a paper bag and LEFT IT IN THE SAME loving SPOT. I cannot stress this enough, the trashcan is literally empty and a couple steps away. If you can't tell, I'm HEATED. Who in their right mind thinks this is acceptable? How does this even happen?! Who thinks that is the equivalent of cleaning? She didn't even applogize!

All she ever does is sit in her room and I don't know her too well so I'm kind of afraid to confront her. I'm a tiny girl and this girl has about 5 inches on me and weighs maybe 250lbs.

I would like help formulating a proper text or finding the right way to grow a pair and speak to her about this before I go dump all the poo poo out in front of her bedroom door.

Thanks

TLDR: Housemate has been leaving dogshit outside my door and when I finally told her to clean it, she just put it all in a bag and left it in the same place despite the empty trashcan being 2 steps away. How do I calmly tell her she needs to clean her poo poo up and apologize?

My[22M] roommate [23M] wants to "decorate" the living room with swords and anime posters. I am not okay with this.

quote:

After my roommate Arnold and I had been living together for about a month, I realized a few things: 1. Arnold is messy 2. He likes to "decorate", but in a very slapdash ineffective way.

A few weeks ago, when Arnold noticed that I bought new clocks to hang on the walls in the house, he wanted to contribute to the decorating as well. He asked me if he could help, and I said "Sure, why not" and I didn't think anything of it.

He goes to his closet, and when he comes back he has these goddamn McDonald's toy Pokemon plush dolls, and a giant Pikachu piggy bank. He places them on top of the bookcase and says, "There! It looks a lot better now, right?" I say yes, through gritted teeth.

I think they make the whole room look tacky and horrible(not to mention the fact that I think it screams immaturity to any guest who visits), but I keep my mouth shut because I want to keep the peace.

Recently though, Arnold has been wanting to add more "decorations". He has a large collection of swords in his room that he's collected from various anime conventions that he's attended, and one of his friends noticed that the living room looked barren (In other words, clean. Or tidy. How it's loving supposed to look). So he suggested that he could have an "awesome-looking" sword display in the living room.

So one day, I come home and Arnold has already hung 8 swords along the wall. He's obviously very proud of the display, and he tells me how much of an improvement it is.

No. No loving way. Swords?? Hell no. People will think a psychopath lives here. I begrudgingly tell Arnold that it looks "fine", though.

I honestly don't know what to do at this point. Arnold has already told me that he plans on hanging some anime posters up in the living room as well. What if I want to bring a girl home? Or my parents? The living room is NOT a place for those things. He needs to keep that poo poo in his bedroom.

TL;DR Roommate wants swords and anime posters on display in the living room. I think they look tacky and frightening to any "normal" person who might walk into the house.

Bonus nerd poo poo: :woop:

People think I'm [23/M] either trans or gay because I choose female characters/avatars in video games

quote:

I'm a straight guy. I feel perfectly comfortable being a man and do not have any desires to become a woman in real life nor do I have any desires to be with another man.

When I play games, I like to choose female characters. Especially when you have to create your own characters. It's just more fun o play as a female character. I don't feel the need to "relate" to my avatar, I enjoy the fantasy aspect of it just being fantasy and nothing to do with real life.

My friends used to make fun of me in the beginning with games like World of Warcraft many years ago. It didn't bother me one bit cause that's how we all treat each other, we make fun of each other and tease each other and it was all fun and good.

However, with the recent Pokemon GO app things have turned weird. I picked a female avatar like I always do and some of my friends who usually don't play games started playing as well. They found it weird that I had a female avatar. Some of them started asking me intimate questions like "are you feeling okay with your gender?" or do you have any problems that you are too ashamed to mention? They all refer to my avatar and how strange it is. I keep denying it but they never believe me. What can I tell them?

TL;DR: I like having female avatars in video games. People don't get it and thing I want to change my gender or question my sexuality.

I am an overachiever, I maintain a 95% average and will be entering university next year. I work very hard, and I have saved up $10.4k from summer jobs ($4.3k this year) and I really want to treat myself to something I have wanted for a long time.

My parents both work all day, so i would be able to conceal the 3DS from them, and they would never know I got it. This would be the first time in my life that I ever "rebelled" against my parents. Should I? I can go and purchase it tomorrow if I want to. But the question is... SHOULD I? I feel like I would be betraying my parents' trust, but I have been under their control for my whole life and I've had enough. But if I get it, and make sure they don't know about it, it won't hurt, will it? Please help, have any of you been in this sort of situation?

Edit: I also have a game that I play on my laptop that my parents don't know about. I will be bringing in $250 from that this month so I will be using my game money that I made to purchase the 3DS.

tl;dr: 16 year old girl has very controlling overprotective parents who forbids video games, but wants to disobey them and purchase a 3DS.

UPDATE!

Okay, first, I want to thank you all for your support and wonderful advice. I've went ahead and bought it. I literally just bought it 10 minutes ago. I haven't touched it yet, and won't until maybe even a few days from now when I am 100% sure I will not be caught or seen doing it. I paid $270 cash, for the 3DS XL and a Pokemon X game, and I feel on top of the world. My parents 100% forbid video games in my house, but I have been wanting one forever and this is the first time I have defied them in my life.

I am feeling a mixture between happiness for doing something I've wanted for quite a long time, sadness for betraying my parents (which I never do) and a feeling I've never felt before... "rebellish". I fully understand the consequences of my situation with my parents, so I will be taking all precautions.. and extra to hide my little secret. I have a PERFECT hiding spot for it, and I have decided I will study even more than I usually do and help lots extra with chores to make up for betraying my parents. I will resist the temptation to play it whenever I want, and will only play it for 30 minutes to 1 hour before I sleep. (when they think I'm already sleeping)

I would like to say.. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for your support! This is an awesome community. PLEASE comment and let me know what you think. I also would love more advice as to how I should proceed with my situation. Thank you all so much.

tl;dr: I bought the 3DS and game I've wanted! :D

If he's totally locked down, then he probably doesn't have a smart phone. It seems to me that a teenager today without a smart phone is essentially neutered and would rebel against that. If he had a smart phone then he'd have plenty of access to games.

Also, I could be wrong but it seems to me that Pokémon players are a crowd slightly younger than me who caught it when they were kids and are now the only market as young adults.

Man, I don't think you grok "tiger" parents, which is how she described her own parents. It has been around forever as a parenting style but picked up its name from the Amy Chua book that came out like, five or six years ago, and made all sorts of parenting science types flip out. It's kind of interesting (but a little trite, and not super successful) as a philosophy, if you want to look it up.

I'd bet $1000 that this girl's parents are conservative and traditional Asians, upper-middle class professionals, and have every aspect of her life on lock because the expectations put on her are so insane. She probably does have a phone, but has been instructed to use it only to talk to her parents and teachers, and that's just How It Is.

I'm getting more of a "I love parties. My boyfriend does not love parties. How can I change his mind?" vibe, here. She even mentioned he's not an introvert, and that he loves socializing for work, but: he's 28, not 21. It's perfectly reasonable to want to go home at 10pm after three hours at a charity ball your girlfriend dragged you to, and even more reasonable to want to go home after being dragged again to a bar after the ball to keep socializing. poo poo, honestly he sounds like a good sport and they are just not well-matched in this one partying respect.

I enjoy watching movies about video games, playing video game, travelling to the mall and hiking from my car to the store to purchase videogames

To be fair, when a lot of women say they love "travelling and adventures" they actually mean "I will drive anywhere for up to 30 minutes so long as it ends with food".

That said, a horse like that is by absolutely no account worth $7,500+. That horse is worth glue. I love horses, but people will give you a decent-quality horse. I've been offered perfectly fine horses a number of times. They will probably have to pay someone to take it. All three of those people have no business with a horse.

Are horses big in furry circles, or is more of a "just you" thing?

Seriously though getting an entire set of furniture to look exactly the same makes your house look like poo poo. I was in the business for awhile. Any designer will tell you the same thing.

Honestly, you should decorate each room of your house with complete, but entirely different lines of wallpaper, flooring, and furniture. Trust me, I played a game about it.

I caught my girlfriend sniffing my farts? (Serious)

quote:

Okay so this a strange and kind of gross question, but I'm not joking. Last night I was awake in bed after drinking with my girlfriend and some friends. I had woken up because of a hangover, and I was just lying in bed with my girlfriend next to me. For reference, we are both 21 years old, and go to the same college together.

I assumed my girlfriend was asleep, and I guess she must have thought I was sleeping too. I farted audibly under the covers, not caring to get up and leave the bed with the crappy headache I had. A minute or so later, however, I noticed my girlfriend slowly slouching down closer to the foot of the bed. Then, I noticed her doing the weirdest thing. I could hear her sniffing right next to my rear end, where just moments ago a presumably disgusting hangover fart had escaped. She kept smelling my butt for another few minutes, and then I could feel her shift her head back up to her pillow. I was baffled by this behavior, so I kept pretending to be asleep. Maybe twenty minutes later, I had to fart again. Curious about my girlfriend’s behavior, I conspicuously ripped a loud fart. Literally seconds later, lo and behold, her face was next to my rear end, and I could hear her sniffing my fart.

I didn’t want her to know that I knew what she was doing, so I kept pretending to be asleep for a while, until she eventually fell asleep and I took some advil and went back to bed.

So my question is, what the hell do I do? Do I tell her that I know what happened last night? Do I just not bring it up? We’ve been together for a year now, and I really like her, so I don’t want to make her uncomfortable. At the same time, I find it very strange that she would like to smell my farts. We’ve farted around each other before, but only on occasion and not while we’re next to each other or anything.

Why would she do such a thing? If you think I should bring it up, how should I approach asking her? Has anybody else had something like this happen to them?

Thanks for reading this strange experience of mine, I’d really appreciate some feedback.

TL;DR: Caught girlfriend sniffing my farts, what do?

still thinking about this....It's certainly common for guys to purposely go after "desperate women", but is it that often that they are self-aware enough to admit that it's their actual plan, let alone articulate it for others to read? Like, subconsciously choosing places to go where they might encounter the less-discerning happens every day I'm sure, but he's so straightforward, affixing "desperate" onto his preferences the way another might add extra cheese to their burger order.

*this space reserved for a joke where I imply that I come to GBS to meet women while not also being depressingly believable based on this place's track record*

I think this is how damsel-in-distress rescue fetishes come to happen, and one day you wake up and realize you are dating heroin addicts, prostitutes, and the homeless.

Is this what burlesque is????

If burlesque existed in a vacuum where fat girls just go to feel desirable and have fun, that would be fine. Everyone needs to feel needed sometimes, and everyone needs to have fun. Sadly, fat girls have spent their whole lives developing overpowering and horrifying fat girl complexes so now you get to see truly repugnant human beings dress up as Finn from Adventure Time and wobble their balloon-like badly-tattooed chest at you while telling "jokes" (i.e., reciting lines directly) from Homestuck or Bob's Burgers or whatever. I don't mean to sound like I'm down on women or women's empowerment, but burlesque attracts the worst loving people.
