Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
Today I turn the age my Mom was when she had me – 26-years-old. I wonder if it’s a uniquely female thing for that to matter – to arrive at the age your Mom was when she became a mother and go “whoa.” I like to think of myself as a mature adult — a fairly together person. I’m proud of myself a coupe times …
The following is a real, unedited gchat conversation between 27-year-old-male and female friends around this issue of sex numbers — and some other fascinating stuff. Names have been changed for protection slash humor — and I also cut out a section where “Olivier” talks about “how many mexicans he has under his belt.” You don’t even want to know. Read. Digest. Judge. Comment. Bianca: OMG …
Change of schedule — this one before the candid convo. Representing the other side of the argument — the ask and tell side — is the other half of the respondents from yesterday’s post. Their rationale’s are equally well thought out and effective meaning we’re essentially no where on this issue… Read on: 26, female, in a relationship So…I was always of the philosophy, “Dont’ …
As promised, the first in a series of follows-ups from the halvsies post last week. Thank you for your patience Greenberg. I reached out to 10 guys and 10 girls on the issue of whether or not to share your sex number with your significant number. Exactly half of the people (who responded….) reported that they strictly follow the Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell policy. Here are …
Today a guest post from the hysterical writer behind blog meetmygay.com. I’m a straight woman who has lived in West Hollywood, AKA the 2nd gayest place on earth next to Disneyworld, for the majority of my adult life. I’ve learned a lot about dating from a unique, gay perspective. As a result of the competitive dating scene, my gay friends tend to be much more …
The next time you or someone you know is describing someone you are/might soon be going out with – presenting the obvious cons, explaining the history behind why this is probably a bad idea, saying things like “I mean I would normally never go out with someone like this” – and then you/they/someone eaves-dropping from the next table says, “well – you know – beggers …
I find that older people are always offering me advice that I pretend to understand – generally advice around the subject of how to live my life such that when I end up where they are I have less regrets/grudges/debts/husbands as them. I listen intently, offer a nod of “mmm, yes, I get it, I’m on it!” and then file it away alongside the financial …
Back after quite the hiatus is the famed Sexism series. Joining a long line of debates include Phone Behavior and Leading People On is this — It’s best to just paste this as the convo went down Yesterday, approx. 11am – gchat Geanna: millie* has been working for the bicycle festival Jessie: haha Geanna: no it gets better Jessie: oh Geanna: so she’s been all …
I haven’t seen Rachel in 4 or 5 months but there’s no question in my mind that she’s dating someone. She’s always dating someone. In the 12 — wow has it been that long … — years I’ve known her she’s only not been dating someone for a few months at a time — and even then she has a prospect. It’s important to note that …
Skipping TextfromLastNight Tuesdays because this just could not wait. (Chris and Molly deserve full credit for concept). Mom — eye muffs. It started (something) like so: Chris – do you think people do or do not count halvsies as sex? Me in my head – what is halvsies…why don’t I know…have I done it…has it been done to me…how can I get out of this conversation, …
