Wearing a graphic t-shirt is preschool coded. Adults wearing them should be shamed mercilessly.


I spent an entire summer in Texas. I've been in Arizona in the summer. ST. LOUIS IS WORSE


Why do so many people on this Godforsaken site treat the idea of "being attracted to someone" as an unreasonable requirement for a relationship? Like, do you honestly want to be in a relationship with a man or woman and NOT be attracted to them? If you're interpreting this as, "Well, all men want virgin supermodels" and "All women want is 6'2 Chad" then you've hallucinated me writing something I never wrote. Yes, some people have unreasonable standards. I am not one of those people. There are essentially a handful of things you need for a marriage to work: 1) SEXUAL ATTRACTION, 2) Personality Compatibility, 3) Shared Values, 4) Shared Goals, 5) They have to feel the same way back. As simple as this list is, it doesn't always combine in the way you want.
