Aspiring to be the next Tina Fey, Rachel spends her free time doing nothing to reach that goal. While judging people based on how they use "they're" vs. "there" on social media, she likes eating buffalo chicken dip, watching other people's Netflix, and wearing sweatpants way more than is socially acceptable.
Great question. The answer is that it’s a little bit of both. I have decided to start living a more healthy lifestyle because honestly — I’m not healthy right now. While I took an over-the-top, satirical approach to this (I’m not quite as vain as it seems up there and no, I’m not just doing this to “be a hot girl”), the truth is I’m tired of treating my body like shit. But writing an “I’m getting healthy for me” article can be found on any random girl’s fitness blog.
I wanted to show humor in myself and my journey because if I can’t laugh at myself for being unable to do the amount of crunches I used to be able to do then, well, it’s depressing.
As someone who also battled anorexia (and bulimia), I get the struggle. I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. The point is: I owe it to myself to start treating my body with respect. Not because I want to be “hot” (but getting some killer confidence wouldn’t be horrible) but because we only have so much time on this Earth. And I want to do everything I can to make sure that I not only get as much time as I can, but I’m able to use it to its fullest.
That means, not only getting “hot” or whatever, but it means doing it the right way. I’ve gone down the unhealthy path of eating disorders and I know how much damage that did to my body. Congrats to you for pulling yourself out of that hole as well — it takes immense strength and willpower.
I guess the thing is — if I could do that, I could go from being addicted to getting “skinny” the wrong way, and come out of that with clarity and perseverance, I have the strength to make my body healthy. To make my body strong and powerful and reliable.
I don’t need to be “hot” to be happy. I’ve long since accepted my build, my body, and my expectations for myself. I’ll never be a “skinny” girl. I’m not built like that and I love pizza too much for that. But I think being healthy would give me the confidence, energy, and fulfillment that I crave.
See? That answer isn’t as funny, but it’s the backstory. Hope it clears things up!
The reason I made that comment is, because unfortunately it’s true for some women in the US. Not all. But coming across an uncircumcised penis isn’t something that happens to some girls in America. I wrote this column at a request of a reader who wanted to know more.
As you said (and I, for that matter) it’s usually not the choice of the guy. Sure you could as an adult, but I agree — that’s risky and for the most part dumb. Any reasonable, mature, worthwhile girl won’t give a fuck about whether or not you’re snipped. It’s just a shocked sometimes as it’s not “the norm.”
In parts of the US, there is a “normal” for what we EXPECT a penis to look like. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with yours (which actually, there’s less wrong because it’s natural). That being said, it’s not as common in some parts. Just like some vaginas are different, most people have an expectation of what one will look like. Doesn’t mean one is better (as I mentioned, it’s all about preference) but it does mean you should know what’s going on down there, AND be prepared and respectful.
Thanks for your kind words, and keep rockin’ that foreskin.
Twas a joke. I am a huge fan of Iskra and think she’s one of the hottest women in the world. I’m sure they’ll find the male version of her (and the other Aerie girls) to kill this side of the campaign.
I have never been more about anything in my entire life.
What are you talking about? I’m secure! I’m so secure!!!!!!
I’m INFJ too! Who knew we had so much in common?!
I mean, I drive a very nice BMW that I paid for myself and I have a small dick so…
Hi there,

A dolphin. Which is unfortunate because dolphins are my least favorite animal. That J.K. Rowling is up to something, I tell ya.
Ah, always a classic.
In the news piece I outline that it is the script — but it IS the next installment of the series.
Trust me, I know my shit.
Oh, honey.
You can play with 6 or 10 as described in the video lololol
I know I know. I really need to start cleaning my sheets more!
Wow that makes much more sense. I shall update when I’m sober. Thnx.
