We should all be supportive of our partners' career choices…within reason. When u/Content_Profession63 's fiancé quit his job to become a professional Twitch streamer, she encouraged him to follow his passion and even agreed to financially support the both of them with her online business. Seven months later, OP's fiancé was doing plenty of gaming, but still hadn't even gotten around to creating a Twitch account. OP's tolerance for BS finally waned when her fiancé asked her for an expensive gam…

If someone says they don't have any deal breakers, they're probably lying. Or they're just huge pushovers and desperately lonely. And while we feel for people like that, we gotta say: deal breakers are a healthy part of dating . Having this ultimate red flag in your mind, especially when dating online, can help you maintain important boundaries, and also help you dodge some serious bullets. If course, there are many kinds of deal breakers. Some are minor, some are shallow, and some actually mak…

Some big asks

There are so many underbellies of the internet that expose just how much some men truly hate women. They are obsessed with dehumanizing women and seeing them as none other than baby-making machines, put on this earth to be a submissive companion for a man. Even though seeing such blatant sexism can be kind of depressing, it can also be kind of amusing that people actually think like this. My favorite trad hot take is that women were “gatherers” of berries and nuts in ancient civilizations, and…

The audacity

Just do a lipa.

We're all in this together

Dating is hard. And now that things are dying down a little, Covid-wise, we expect the scene is going to get a whole lot crazier. While it's great that those romantic Zoom meetups are (mostly) a thing of the past, there were some perks to getting acquainted to a Tinder or Bumble date ahead of meeting them in person. Namely, being able to get a feel for the suitor's idiosyncrasies before having to get stuck on a date with them in real life. It's a lot easier to close the laptop on a doomed tryst…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

When I was a bartender, customers would often rack up huge tabs over several hours, ordering martinis at the busiest moments and shots for everyone at the bar minutes before closing. The most ostentatious customers were usually the ones who would ditch the bar without closing their tabs, and 90% of the time, those cards would decline. It's a risky scam, but people who work in the service industry know better than most that customers can be shockingly audacious. As much as we wish we could expos…

Even in 2022, some people still have pretty medieval views on gender roles, like one redditor's girlfriend and her parents who believe that every man should be able to fix things around the house. Do they also believe their daughter should quit her good job and do all the housework and cooking? I don't really want to know the answer to that. When u/housework1998 vented to r/amitheasshole about his situation, redditors were overwhelmingly on OP's side.

I hear that planning a wedding is difficult. Not just because there's so many people that are impossible to please, and not just because it's a timesuck. It's also expensive - which makes the already-agonizing task of crafting a guest list all the more difficult. Who, praytell, is worthy of your special day? Generally speaking, it's close friends, family, and maybe a few of your colleagues, and they receive an invite and respectfully RSVP accordingly. Recently, however, Twitter user @barrybingb…

Some people say that happiness is the best revenge. While that might be the mature mindset, it has never been the most immediately gratifying. Especially where dramatic breakups are concerned. Just think about that classic Carrie Underwood banger, ‘Before He Cheats.’ The country pop tune is an anthem for scorned women seeking revenge. You can't help but feel pleased that she dug her key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive, and carved her name into his leather seats. Th…

If you've been online at all since 2015, you have likely encountered discourse about gender and dating that is, at best, kind of strange and, at worst, explicitly violent. These micro-discourses can be summed up with the all-encompassing phrase, “The Gender Wars.” Now, if you're a normal person and not extremely online, you might wonder what that is. According to a most reliable source, The Gender Wars occur when “you have women pushing the narrative that all men are misogynistic, cheaters, abu…

"Eyyy, Tony Pizza!" If this is how my partner greeted me, I would be ecstatic. It embodies everything I love: a New York accent, an Italian name, and an Italian food . This weekend I learned that not everyone is quite as forgiving and open-minded when it comes to pet names. And you know what? That's okay. Everyone is entitled to their own comfort in the nickname department. But once you reveal your contempt for a moniker in a Reddit thread, you're fair game. And you just might go viral.

Ahh, your thirties. When we were younger, it was romanticized that by the time you were 30, you would have a career, a family, and your life together. In 2022, we are no longer 13 going on 30, we are 13 going on GERD-y. Sure the last 20 years hasn't been too kind to those 90's kids, but at least we lived in a time where we had Limewire, Vine, and Chat Roulette. Now grab your Tums and Ibuprofen and suck it up. All we can do is laugh at ourselves. Here's this weeks best laughs about aging into th…
