I loved being taught about heat.  Thermodynamics make me HOT!  (and finally, the first modern Daily Throb who is absolutely amazing from every imaginable angle).  

Seems to me that the virgin confession and the tomboy/lesbian confession are suffering from some serious denial.

I agree with dvaleriey on today's throb, and the rest of it was quite amusing.

Wow, nice free (national rifle) association between Charlton and Ted.  You now have my grudging admiration.

I felt a correction was needed here:

"the first modern Daily Throb that looks..." AIRBRUSHED "...from every imaginable angle"

And that confession?  Ah-hum.  Yeah.  Fine.  It was me.  There have been a number of similar confessions on there though, FYI, and plenty of people who agreed with that confession.  I don't think I'm the only one in the world in a similar place.  Way to mess up my wonderful week following a hot Halloween and the election by reminding me of all the assholes I've known the past few years.

Do you ever look at how many people have clicked "I Can Relate" to the confessions you make fun of?  That virgin one had a ton of "I Can Relate"s, for instance.

Anyway, I should probably stop writing so much personal stuff on here, as I think some people I know may read this.  It's kind of like exhibitionism, I think -something about the thrill of maybe being caught is part of the allure.  Then you'll wake up cold and hungry after being in jail for a night and realize it was a bad idea...

Here she looks more real: images.askmen.com/.../monica-bellucci-picture-2.jpg

...and she's still an attractive woman, after all...

No, it really did work! He said he didn't want to see anyone else the day after I gave it to him!

You're not going to make me regret having 'fessed, are you?

Truth is, the past year I've been developing a theory of which I would be more than happy to be convinced otherwise, that is basically that were it not for homophobia most intelligent women would be gay.  That's not just based on my own experiences, but also those of most of my friends, many of which look and wear their hair more stereotypically feminine than I do.  In their early 20s virtually all of the wicked smart women I know have become increasingly pessimistic about relationships (with men) since high school...

I had no idea impressing me was so important to you.  

Fine -have a (virtual) cookie.

I'm impressed!  I mean, at first I thought you were just being an asshole, but it turns out that you're an asshole who's right.

Toluca - I'm a young, moderately intelligent woman (sorry I was being modest, I'm kind of a genius) and I couldn't possibly disagree with your theory more.  It's not increasing pessimism - just a necessary realism that creeps in.  We're not going to be compatible with most people. I don't really think that can be equated with homosexuality.  The fact that I'm still straight after several failed relationships doesn't make me homophobic.   Hopefully, through experience, I'm just becoming more selective.

Oh, and muxtape.com ain't what it used to be.

"It's not increasing pessimism - just a necessary realism that creeps in."

If by "realism" you mean "the belief you will never be in a happy longterm relationship, accompanied by mild depression and sometimes lowered self-esteem" then I guess you're right, all the 20 yr-old women I know aren't pessimistic, just "realistic".  They sound awfully similar to me though, when used that way.

On the other hand, I know a number of more functional lesbian relationships, and just learned today in a class (hah!) that studies have shown lesbian couples have more egalitarian relationships, better conflict resolution, and less stress on average than hetero couples...  (I have also witnessed, in my life, environments in which being gay was more the norm than stigmatized, and then "straight-identified" women suddenly decided they were interested in women as well)
