Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

McLaren examines humans' unconscious drive to have and to hold monkeys and apes.

Um... OK then.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd go to the second, Tom.

Ah, zeitgeist: OK Cupid makes the case for men to date older women, with data.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I vote the second. Although they both sound cool.

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

Most of the messages I get on OK Cupid are from twentysomethings. And I say, "you know I'm a fat old lady, right?"

Heh.

You need to turn your irony-o-meter way, way up when you read that, tommyrot.

See, if I went to that I'd be afraid there'd be audience participation, and they'd make me hold a monkey.

DO NOT WANT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That OK Cupid blog is nothing like my experience. Which was not win. But I was mostly instant-messaged, like Allyson, by young guys--guys 15 years younger than me, it seemed. Few of the guys that sent me email-type messages were older than me. But perhaps I'm just old for the site.
