If we want men as a gender to question the beauty standard, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?

Nothing forms a stronger bond than sharing a mutually enjoyable meal, bonus points if there is an element of guilt involved.
dating
This could possibly be the worst idea I've ever had, but just hear me out for a hot second.
ex-boyfriend
I will be honest. My initial reaction was jealousy.
google glass
I wanted to wear the device on a full-fledged, real-life, real-stakes date and see what happened. This is that story.
cats
If I describe someone as a weird, old cat lady, it conjures up a specific image, but cat gentleman? Cat man? I’ve got nothing.
the frisky
I openly discussed my anxiety and history with depression, my strained relationships with my parents, and how I had lived with drug addicts in the past. I figured if these weren’t things they could hang with on the first date, they wouldn’t be OK with them later either.
fat
Setting him straight was truly the highlight of our "relationship."
dating
We say we love each other. We are close friends. But is the age difference too much?
jaded
I thought of the whole affair as an unfortunate experience, one that I was unlikely to have to deal with again. I was wrong.
online dating
I don't know any other way to put it -- I need help.
dating
I almost included your gyno appointment, but I feel like some dudes would be real into that.
tattoos
Ninety percent of the time, when I meet men in public, it starts with a conversation about my tattoos.
okcupid
With no prospects lined up and two nominally active accounts, I decided to start sending men who had visited my profiles the sort of messages I receive on a daily basis.

polyamory
Our life is surprisingly boring, surprisingly simple, surprisingly normal.
jailbait
Or do I want to make it stop? Sometimes I wonder.
vaginas
If a dude wants to tell me my vagina is repulsive, that's awesome, but he should be warned, I have sharp teeth, lock-jaw and passion for angry blow-jobs.
open relationships
I saw signs of her in the apartment, but I dismissed my thoughts until I was told that she (he talked about her as a friend) was out of town for a bit visiting family. I found her absence too convenient.
missed connections
I'm sorry I need the love and attention of strangers to fill the emotional void inside me.
dating
I can't think of a single person I've broken up with that I'm legitimately "over" in the sense that I can still think about them without feeling a bit gut-punched.

dating
"No, but he’s really hot," translates to "How did you trick someone like that into having sex with you?"
dating
Still sexy; still single.
