"100% of women want to have sex with a man who embodies the fox version of Robin Hood from the cartoon Robin Hood, but most do not actually want to have sex with a fox or a man dressed as one" from The Toast's "Things I’ve Learned About Heterosexual Female Desire From Decades Of Reading" by Daniel Ortberg

Quick poll. I’m the one in my house who remembers EVERYTHING. Appointments, meals, gifts, where the shoes are, the never-ending mental list. I work in tech, and I’ve started using AI (ChatGPT, Claude) to take a ton of that off my plate at home — meal plans, dreaded emails, trip planning, all of it. Every friend I show says “wait, HOW?” So I’m thinking: a fun, low-key night out — wine, a few women, and I show you how to actually use this stuff for real mom life. On your own phone. Zero tech skills needed. Would you come? & if you’re down, tell me things you’d hand off in a heartbeat.

Reddit post: book recs where a hot man falls for an ugly or plain woman? I'm sick of believing that I need to perform attractiveness to be worthy of romantic attention. I'd love to believe that is not true. There are SO MANY STORIES - especially in movies - with a hot woman falling for an ugly man. I'd like to see a role reversal. No romantasy please - I want to believe that this is possible within the bounds of OUR universe. EDIT: NO MAKEOVER STORIES PLEASE.

It is age appropriate to teach your kid social skills. Part of social skills is learning that random adults are not your best friend. A minute or two is fine, but then have them say bye and move on. It’s absolutely normal he wants to do this, but it’s also your job to teach him not to do it all the time.
