Getting hit on is a part of daily life for many people. But obviously, you aren't going to want to date most of the strangers who are hitting on you in public: they're notoriously impolite about this. You quickly gain a sixth sense about these things. That man who's screaming from his balcony about how he'll treat you right… is not going to be the Prince Charming he believes himself to be. The dude who wolf-whistles at you as you're sweaty and lugging your heavy groceries inside is not really h…

Well this is awkward

Lots of people tread on eggshells around their boss, but are not always able to avoid the occasional crack that happens when you miss a spot. This particular story takes treading on eggshells to a whole different level, as in order not to upset this VP, you had to be… for lack of a better word, a man. OP was the 13th young woman to quit the job due to being ‘quiet fired’ after the VP learned she was getting married. How dare employees get married, am I right? How dare they live their own lives,…

Last week I was at a friend's birthday party, sipping some beer, chilling, and observing everyone quietly from the side, but admittedly tuning into conversations that were happening around me. I was surprised, per usual, at the sheer audacity some people have when they put down others for having a different opinion. Tell me you are insecure, without telling me you are insecure. Not everybody has to agree with you. Moreover, it's probably best that they don't. If you are always surrounded by lik…

Ouch

Will this encounter actually convince a human male to go into therapy? Time will tell.

We know all too well at this point that people put crazy things on their dating app profiles. Sometimes, they are bizarre confessions that should wait till at least a third or fourth date. Sometimes, they are strangely hostile and limiting remarks about what they're looking for on the app. And sometimes, they are such boring stock answers to questions that you wonder if this person is even real. Who knows? Maybe they are a bot. And bots, folks, are an immediate “swipe left.” In addition to bots…

This guy was unsure about the difference between mansplaining and being a dude explaining a topic, so he turned to r/AmItheA**hole for advice. Many women have experienced mansplaining – depending on what circles you're in, it might happen all the time! But for this 15 year old, he's been accused of something he doesn't think he did. As he writes, the OP, Ellie, and Mia are all in a class together. He and Ellie study together during and outside of their physics class, as he recited parts of the…

‘It’s just so convenient' is the go-to answer you give to people when they ask why you're using dating apps. Of course, the only people who would have the audacity to ask this question are the couples that have been chained to each other's ankles since middle school and take pride in the fact they are a living example of ‘real, true love’ (yuck). Behind the scenes nobody really knows what's going on. Tinder is easy enough to use, and feels like a practical way to get to know people because let'…

Swipe left, swipe right, just swipe.

Tinder is a wasteland filled with terrestrial piranhas.

The best and worst thing that has ever happened to the human species.

All the fish in the sea are piranhas.

The fish in the sea are actually piranhas.

All the fish in the sea are piranhas.

When people think that they're God's gift to the world...
