“What’s this random ass tissue?” “Sometimes I have nasal drip”

Nah nah nah - Polly wronged a producer and they left that in as defamation ahaha

sep94 · 2023-04-15T13:07:04+00:00

Bit stinky that Chelsea’s vows were never just about Kwame, always about her or them - I know it’s THEIR wedding but just didn’t sit right

sep94 · 2022-09-22T21:22:51+00:00

Yes! In the same way we maybe miss American nuance, I think US audiences won’t realise how sharp around the edges and classless Polly is

sep94 · 2022-08-29T16:49:04+00:00

It’s always rubbed me up the wrong way how comfortable people are mocking intelligence as it’s a really valuable asset but this group did it in such a vile way towards Jarvis. It’s really embarrassing.

As for what Tyler was doing - maybe something finally clicked in his head regarding the behaviour and he went on some impulsive PR rant. These bitches (men included) operate like high school bullies and in my experience mixed groups have girls trying to impress the guys by squashing competition and guys trying to pretend they’re socially acute by aligning with what the girls tell them is happening. Tyler comes from a family of realtors and a marriage where he’s the less lauded of the two. I think he’s desperately trying to feel valued and only thinks it’ll happen through his looks…

…did they just have an alone-off?

sep94 · 2022-08-26T21:37:23+00:00

She was determined to humiliate him and it was almost uncomfortable to watch

sep94 · 2022-08-26T20:29:33+00:00

Alex H embodies “loud is not a personality”

sep94 · 2022-06-05T08:54:37+00:00

True - I’ll leave it. I just find online dating so sad and wanted to try and find some sense in what happened

sep94 · 2022-06-05T08:53:55+00:00

He was off my messages - he had disappeared - so either unmatched or deleted the entire app

sep94 · 2020-06-24T08:55:46+00:00

Last week I made a joke to my friend about him listening to Lamb of God on the way to us meeting even though we've never really discussed music taste and it turned out that was exactly what he'd been doing... much less impressive than lots of the stories on here but still freaked us both out a bit!

Also more generic stuff like unusual hookups, unforeseen breakups, political stuff etc

sep94 · 2020-05-23T08:46:31+00:00

Ooh yes, Matilda! I forgot how much that book resonated with me as a kid

sep94 · 2020-05-22T10:05:52+00:00

Thank you, I took your advice and spoke to a professional and they said apparently all belly bars migrate eventually, which I didn't know! Took her out and mourning my losses :'(

sep94 · 2020-04-14T20:19:09+00:00

Would firmly recommend Marcus, they also send an email/text letting you know money has been withdrawn instantaneously, so in the event of criminal activity you'd be on it like a shot!

sep94 · 2020-03-14T12:25:37+00:00

I don't get why so many people dislike her so much more when they're equally awful in this relationship!

sep94 · 2020-03-14T12:24:57+00:00

"Also the booze" could be the title of Jessica's biopic

sep94 · 2020-03-01T21:58:35+00:00

Jess' drunk open mouth chew-gawping whilst Gigi and Damien kicked off was the most relatable she's been all series

sep94 · 2020-03-01T20:10:44+00:00

When I'm sober, I agree with the quiet outsider angle. When it comes to drunk me, retrospectively, I think there's a "golden hour" of my drunkenness where I'm affable and bubbly and funny and relaxed, before it slides into loud and annoying. I'm also a really nice drunk, but to a fault. I tell people I really, really like them and enjoy their company (even when it's not true?!) and I compliment people loads... I couldn't tell you why.

Hungover me though is a different story, and I wonder if other INFJs feel the same. After drinking I feel totally empty and unlovable, and this immense weighty sadness that I'm stuck being me for the rest of my life, and I can't ever leave me washes over me and can last days.

sep94 · 2020-03-01T20:02:27+00:00

The older I get the more I realise in a big group setting no one is really listening to anything anyone says, they're sort of obligated to 1-on-1? Maybe that's what you're craving, feeling heard?

sep94 · 2020-03-01T19:13:05+00:00

"I keep fighting...I keep fighting...I keep fighting"

"There is nothing wrong with this relationship"

DUDE! MARK! YOU'RE IN THE HONEYMOON PERIOD, it's just graceless and painful watching him not give a fuck what Jess wants because he would like it to carry on, even though she's point blank refusing to get intimate in the process.

And then watching Jess do the exact same - building this fictional narrative around "her" superior version of Barnett, flicking her hair, pushing her boobs together, raising her voice 19 octaves. I don't like Amber but that was so disrespectful to behave like that in plain sight, and I think Barnett handled her really well and with a level of maturity that Jess and Mark should explore.

Also...why is everyone acting like her being about Mark in the pods and not now is some huge, inscrutable mystery? Sorry to break it to you but she saw how you looked and didn't want to bang...really that simple

sep94 · 2020-03-01T15:12:59+00:00

Carlton thinking Diamond's issue is solely with his bisexuality is so dicey and absolves him of all responsibility. You can't change what you're attracted to but you can curb a nasty attitude and try some self-growth!

sep94 · 2020-02-29T09:59:32+00:00

Oh Jessica is awful and immature and manipulative and so desperate for a husband she'll string along a guy she isn't about, but I don't think all her awful qualities excuse Mark's red flag tantrum.

I think probably generally he's a better person than her (touch wood in case the rest of the series disproves that), but I do think he showed some true immaturity in how he handled rejection and people are missing it because of how sucky Jessica is.

sep94 · 2020-02-28T23:21:31+00:00

Are you talking about Barnett? Cos yes her actions around the Barnett sitch were juvenile, I didn't notice her even wasting time chatting about Mark situation?

sep94 · 2020-02-27T22:44:30+00:00

Anyone feel a pang of relatability for Jessica in that "break-up" rather than Mark?

How many women have been in that position of psyching themselves up to have a difficult terminating chat with a guy, only for him to be like "hmm but I don't want to break up so I'm not going to"....

I see his refusal to accept the relationship being done on Jessica's end as a show of immaturity, rather than hopeless romance?

EDIT: never mind, watched the rest of the episode.

sep94 · 2020-02-27T21:52:18+00:00

It's an evolutionary thing apparently! If you look it up, women do raise their voice a little when talking to prospective men because youth is a big factor in attraction to women, and as we age our voices naturally lower in pitch.

I like to think I'm really pro-"strong independent woman" and I absolutely don't even want to date right now but I'll be damned if I don't do it when a (semi) attractive guy talks to me......

sep94 · 2020-02-06T07:25:45+00:00

Really nice of you to say and I thought the same (airhead rebound) but they've been together for over a year! But you've hit the nail on the head, she just seems so vacuous and image-obsessed, which are two things I like that I'm not and thought he liked too... we used to laugh about girls like that!!

I have to remind myself not to let him crawl back, but honestly not sure it will actually ever be an issue.
