Absolutely. I had a similar situation in college, when I dated a nice Indian guy who, it turned out, wanted the date a wacky American girlfriend who actually thought she was fully human that he could amuse his hometown friends with stories about, then go back home and marry someone uneducated his parents selected for him who would be his unquestioning slave.

I'd have killed myself first if I were his prospective bride, but as it was I merely had to dump him.

Hell, it barely matters for some of us now.

I didn't even mention the butt-exposing short shorts (worn with roller skates, of course!). I wouldn't be caught dead in those now. Nor would I let any child of mine wear thekind of bare, clingy, gross stuff I wore when I was a kid. Not because it was slutty, but because it looks like shit and is no longer fashionable (even with the resurgence of tube tops, the stuff I wore in the '70s has emphatically NOT been back in fashion).

But frankly most girls I see on the streets these days look fine to me. While I find it distressingly unambitious for anyone to wear jeans or t-shirts or tank tops in public, I find it no more shocking to see a 12 year old girl in the latest low-rider tight fashions than I do their mothers - usually less so. Do these people not remember the '80s, when we teens were all running around in acid-washed Guess jeans so tight they cut off our circulation, with heels? Sparkle eye shadow? Low buttoned blouses, big hair and racoon eyes?

Do these people not remember that, for the last 25 years at least and probably the better part of the last century, the "older" fashions worn by the 19-22 yo models that the 12-14 set mimic did not in fact make the little girls look 19-25? It made them look like they were wearing the usual 12-14 yo clothing. Seventeen Magazine was always meant to be outgrown when you hit 13. I outgrew Teen when I was, I think, 11. The statement "oh, a generation ago only a late-20s sexpot would wear that" doesn't at all imply that the girls are today dressing like late-20s sexpots. They are dressing like 13 year olds. They look like 13 year olds. It just shows that the parents blissfully unaware that fashions might actually have changed since they were kids, while also somehow being unaware that the generational fashion issues have not.

When they are 17-18, these girls will have abandoned Brittney and discovered Vogue, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among parents wishing for the simpler, more innocent days of $15 tops in the Jr.s section.

Dick Size
 

I'm not sure. I haven't seen that much Asian dick. I've only had one Asian BF and he was average. He wasn't super tall though. It goes with my height correlation. In my experience, guys over 6'0 tend to be well endowed and guys under are not. Of course there are a few exceptions, but not many, in my experience.

I can't remember the dick sizes of the few Asian guys I've hooked up with in a drunken state. I do know that I never thought to myself, "Wow, he has a big dick."

I don't mind tacky, tight, shiny or skin, but I'm still in shock from the black-bra-under-white-lace-shirt Madonna thing. Then and now, as far as I'm concerned, you might as well stick your ass out in hotpants on a street corner and declare yourself for sale by the hour to ugly middle aged guys who can't get a date.

I have a jewish friend who is looking for a jewish woman with no jewish relatives at all, none of whom were killed in the holocaust. He said many of his friends who started out looking for the same thing got shiksas to convert, but he's an atheist and therefore won't do that.

Maybe you two could start some sort of an orphans/runaways dating service.

Not like the Amish from Witness
 

Have you been getting angry PM's from the dead mennonite's family? Are they internet savvy?


EDITED to ask RT to repeat the rule for me once more... Is it read and then post or post and then read? Thank you.

I knew this was going to wend it's way to Dat Phan's mother again. Everything always does. . . .

Nice serendipity. Have you two synchronized your prescriptions?

Queer Eye
 

Jai was right not to teach Josh Diaz "jazz hands." He should, however, have let him in on the "spirit fingers" secret.

Bad Movie List
 

Re the long list of bad movies headed up by Gigli:

There were many omissions from that list, the biggest of which was the worst movie of all time, SPACE JAM, starring Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan. The Worst. Bar None.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL????

Asians and Dating
 

In addition to everything else said, I also think it's worthwhile to point out that, while a gross generalization, I think it's accurate to say that most Korean, Japanese and Chinese women I know who have dated white guys have chosen guys who are bookish, socially inept and don't treat women well. I think this comes from the same socialization issues that Korean men seeking servants comes from, but I can't really put my finger on it.

I do know that there seem to be very few studly, strapping, rich and good-looking white guys dating Asian women; it seems that the Asian women who would normally be dating white men of that quality go towards black men[1].

Of course, this is all in my own experience, and I'm not trying to start any arguments.

[1] Is it PC, offensive or neither to refer to black men as "brothers" in this context? I guess neither, but I guess some might consider it offensive.

Bulimia inthe office
 

Have you ever totally eaten too much crap off the conference room table and then felt like you would bill better if you had less schmeg in your stomach? I dont know if this would be appropriate or not.

Where do I sign up to date Asian moms? Is there a web page or something?

Dick Size
 

If we are doing a poll (shouldn't every sex reference that comes up be made into a poll?), I have dated one Korean American guy (college years; dated for a few months). His dick was not large, but was not freakishly small. The sex was not very good. I don't think it was my fault...

I never cooked, cleaned or did laundry for him. Well, I did help clean up one morning after a particularly disgusting bloody mary party the night before (left over bloody maries are actually gag-inducing the next day, fyi), but I don't think that counts.
