And you sound like “everybody was just so jealous of me” girl! I’m sorry, but most people I know (myself included) like to associate themselves with success. I WANT to be friends with the girl who is pre-med. I WANT to be friends with the girl who makes Miss America look plain. I WANT to be friends with the mini Martha Stewart. Sure, there are a handful of girls who really will be hateful out of sheer jealousy, but they’re the minority. If one person has a problem with you, it’s their problem. If everyone has a problem with you, you’re the one with a problem…and I’m willing to guess the problem is not simply that you’re too fabulous!
I didn’t mean to label med students as unattractive. I’m in law school, and I have plenty of sisters who went on to medical school, so I’m well aware that most girls in medical school are quite fit. I was mainly taking a dig at any girl who would settle for a less accomplished man. (For the record, I’m enlightened enough to realize not all girls who do so are uggos. I will still generalize about them, though, because seriously, that’s weird. And this is TFM, not Psychology Today, so I get to generalize all I want.)
You forgot the biggest: If we decide that our greatest calling in life is baking cupcakes and taking care of children, we get to be housewives. If we want “work-life balance”, we can work part time at the Lilly store and spend the rest of our time baking cupcakes. Guys don’t really have a choice in the whole career thing…unless they want to be poor or marry some lonely 600 lb. med student, they’re pretty much looking at a lifetime of 60 hour work weeks!
This is more accurate than any Seventeen quiz ever was back in the day! I was always torn between Samantha and Molly, and this totally nails it on both!
Maybe Clinique has changed their mascara since I last tried it in junior high (2000 ish), but I had the worst experience with it! I tried one of the samples that came in my gift with purchase before a trip to the movies with my friends, and when I came out, the mascara was literally all over my face. Granted, that was forever ago, but I’ve been too traumatized to use their mascara since!
Reading comprehension going alright for you, actually? I think I clarified that I tip more than 15% if I get great service (as in, the waitress exceeded the “average” level of service to be expected for that type of restaurant). Above average service gets an above average tip, average service gets an average tip, and below average service gets a below average tip.
To me, giving an above average tip for simply doing a “good enough” job just because I can afford to is like is like giving kids trophies just for showing up to field day because there’s money in the trophy budget to do so. I don’t do it, and I’d question any man who does.
And for the record, I wear Lilly.
The standard 15% isn’t shortchanging anyone. From what I’ve seen, the main people who tip more than that are people who’ve been waiters/waitresses. In other words, poor people.
If they do a fantastic job, they get more because they deserve more. However, I will never give someone more than they’re due just for existing, and I’d question any guy who did. That kind of thing is for liberals. And former waiters.
Am I the only one who becomes suspicious that the guy has worked in food service himself if he tips over 15% for no reason? Sorry, but I don’t like guys to be nice to poors. Leave an okay tip, and leave a good tip if the waitress somehow went way above and beyond, but beyond that, don’t go around making life better for the poor.
I’m assuming she was exaggerating for effect. Yes, there are handful of occasions other than weddings and funerals you guys can cry over, but she had a freakin’ point. For every guy crying over his dad’s heart attack (an acceptable reason to cry), there’s another douche crying because his slam called him a queer and it hurt his feelings.
I disagree with #15. Boxer briefs are yankee metrosexuals. Stick with Polo, Vineyard Vines, or Brooks Brothers boxers. Beyond that, I have no objections to this column!
Haha, I’m borderline obsessed with it, but I get where you’re coming from Pyramidprincess! We all have our Lilly prints we adore and others that Lilly herself couldn’t convince us to wear!
Ugh, the over dramatic girls kill me! Sure, your fratdaddy might play along and listen to your freakout about how Susie looked at you during chapter, but most men do not want to marry someone like that! We all have “our moments”, but if you have a melt down about smiley face texts more than twice a month, you might want to talk to your doctor.

While that would be a wonderful extra, I’m really hoping there was an actual ring involved!
Too cute!
Being crippled is never an excuse to wear Uggs in May.
Nice Kohls dresses….
Adorable!

I always assume it’s because he has money.
Ewww! David Beckham is the definition of NF (literally)!

I think it’s just the shirt. I’m more concerned about the American Eagle bag in the background!
