I was shopping for bras in the kid’s section until Sophomore year of college when mine suddenly came in and went up like 3 sizes, which could be he case here since she’s only 19. But I gotta say they do look a little TOO perfectly round to be just “period boobs”.
I honestly thought he would say wearing a ring might insinuate that you may want to have children in the near future, thus requiring maternity leave. Still sexist and wrong, but more logical to me.
TBH, there are some men that could really use a dash of foundation or mascara, too. My problem with men telling us we look pretty without makeup is the underlying feeling that they think we wear makeup for them.
We really need to go to a men’s style of sizing that goes by waist size and leg length. I might even go a step further and provide the hip to waist ratio for particular style of pants, since women tend to have so many different fabulous shapes, regardless of weight. Some higher end companies do this but it really should become more common use. I have no idea what my size is anymore, I range form a size 4 to a size 12 but usually land on 6/8 longs, although I do know my inseam and waist.
Bonus point: Don’t be loud. Guys hate girls that try to raise their voice to get attention and interrupt them in conversations. My strategy is to keep relatively quiet, and then occasionally drop something really clever, blowing their minds.
If you want to be treated like the princess you are, you have to date down. Think Aladdin and Jasmine, you might just find your diamond in the rough. 😉
My nemesis is waterproof mascara: Waterproof = oil soluble, which means my face literally dissolves it. It comes off on my upper lid in droves, making those gross stripes below my eyebrows within an hour of putting it on, and doesn’t last nearly as long as it does on our non-oily skinned counterparts. Ugh.
I honestly had a bad reaction upon insertion. I got really dizzy, more dizzy than I have ever been in my entire life, came in and out of consciousness, got sick, and had to be kept on supervised bed rest in student health for a few hours after. BUT I toughed it out and it’s been one year since and I’ve had no “real periods” just some light spotting and cramps once a month, and, more importantly, no pregnancies. I highly recommend it, even though the insertion was literal hell for a few hours, it was totally worth it. I estimate that I’ve already saved over a hundred dollars on pads, not to mention my hormones are balanced and my mood swings are basically non-existent. Everyone’s body is different, and everyone is going to react differently. Don’t let the fear of a bad reaction get in the way of possibly 3 (or 5!) years of worry-free birth control.
One conversation that has always stood out to me happened a few summers ago with a TriDelt while river floating with my favorite frat:
Her:”So what sorority are you in?”
Me:”Guess”
Her:She goes on to guess the big popular houses on campus.
Me:”No I’m a SigKap”
Her:”What??? Why? But you’re so pretty!”
I nearly tossed her off her float for that one.
Small house = Big sense of sisterhood
My issue with so-called gentlemen is they call themselves chivalrous and “real men”, but then act like you owe them something at the end of the night. I agree, substance over robotic actions…However, manners along with substance can’t hurt either.
Not to mention when he comes back up and goes in for the kiss…like ew, no, go swish your mouth with some gasoline and light your mouth on fire first please, thanks.
I find this especially fascinating since Hurricane Katrina was the worst hurricane in recent U.S. history. Hell hath no fury…

It’s nice when science confirms something we already knew.

My money is on either “Cult” or “Orphanage” themed.

Just to be clear, is the surprised face referring to Olivia Benson or TSwift?
