I was just talking about being single forever since I'm 0 for 3 on potential future wives.
I usually say future ex-wives

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm pretty sure I don't like being single. I know that I need to get out more to meet more people. I'm not sure about the party tomorrow -- it's really too hot to walk a mile from the metro to the house where it's being held -- but I think I'm going to try to get up in time to go to synagogue. Just need to get somewhere where I'll be with people.

Oh I know I don't like it. I think you should go to the Party. If anything at least it feelsl ike you are trying. Putting yourself out there.
That's how match.com keeps taking my money.

No, I'm using the term literally, arranged-marriage-style.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hec's letter has caused me to not only fall in love with Fay all over again, but also with Hec, and with all Buffistas in general. I love us.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ita, I think there is no comparing you and me. You're devastatingly beautiful, and clever, and sexy as all get out. Plus all the stuff in the book, and things I didn't write.
You have a horrible disability that left you unable to be the other half of someone due to horrible, mind-bending pain eating at your life.
My loneliness is no about choice, it's about me, being difficult to look at, and more often than not, worthless. There's no comparative analysis to be had.

Now tagless for your comfort.
it's about me, being difficult to look at, and more often than not, worthless.
The crux of this issue is that this is how YOU feel about you. Not how others perceive you. I know you're working through this and it's difficult. I've gone through the same thing--the introspection was the most painful thing in my life. I have a twin sister who is petite (seriously, 110 lbs), blonde, a successful corporate lawyer and married and STILL isn't 100% happy. Her image of herself is totally skewed and I do my best to help reinforce her positive traits on a nearly daily basis. In the end, she's going to have to find it within herself because no amount of me telling her is going to change how she sees herself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have a horrible disability that left you unable to be the other half of someone due to horrible, mind-bending pain eating at your life.
I may have a horrible disability now. The other twenty years of my adult life? Why do I have three months of relationship in all of that? What can you blame that on, that you can't blame your singleness on too?
Take it from someone who's had to "endure" looking at you. You know what's much more difficult? Listening to you talk about how ugly and worthless you are.
Allyson, you're overweight by the standards of Western shallowness. But you are not ugly. They are not the same thing.
