Nothing kills my faith in humanity like how initially amusing jokes turn into disgusting cultural memes. See “ginger” and “friend zone.”
People are so obnoxious there is now an episode of Scrubs that is completely ruined because it introduced the term “friend zone.”
And there are still legions of guys who complain that women find men untrustworthy, and spurn their “good” and “nice” advances when…
…what challenges MY faith in men the most is when friendliness revealed to hide an ulterior motive.
I understand the pain of being attracted to someone and finding out they aren’t. It sucks. But you know what ELSE I understand?
I understand the raw hurt that comes from finding out someone only complimented your writing because he was working up a way to ask you out.
The shock of finding out that someone’s been saying you’re intelligent because you have nice breasts, but actually thinks you’re vapid.
The crushing blow of learning that the guy you’ve been confiding in, that you thought understood and loved you as a friend, only wanted sex.
The one guy I ever loved broke it off with “I’d rather be friends.” I cried all night. It didn’t hurt a tenth as much as that, though.
You think you know pain? That the “Friend Zone” hurts? Fuck you. Try living in the zone where you’re valued only for fuckability.
Believe me, the friend zone is far preferable to not being able to trust someone to be a real friend.
If your response to my last rant is “Respect manpain, that some guys lie doesn’t make wanting to be just friends acceptable behavior”…
Know that you’ve implied that someone who wants to be friends rather than lovers is behaving inappropriately, and that makes you an asshole.
That is outright saying that the only acceptable behavior for a woman is to say yes to sex. Which is not consent.
Ragnell, on the Friend Zone.
Men don’t seem to believe it happens to women — that women become interested in anyone who doesn’t feel the same way about them. Believe me it happens. Rejection sucks, but not as badly as finding out that the friendship was a false front.

A little backstory.
Way back in 1999, the guys and gals at Williams Street fell in love with this unique anime series called Cowboy Bebop, just like most of us. And why not? It had action, comedy, suspense, drama, mystery, silliness, noir, sci-fi, and Western storytelling in a neat package with a great cast of characters and voice actors and probably the greatest soundtrack ever recorded for a television series (not just animated series, ANY series).
The guys at Williams Street were so enamored with the series that they wanted it badly on the block they created, Toonami. Cartoon Network refused saying it was too violent for kids.
People tend to forget that Toonami was a kids block.
That didn’t deter them a bit. They were fans of the crew of the Bebop. They wanted the guy who was the voice of Spike Spiegel to be the upgraded voice of the robot host TOM, so, they hired Spike’s English voice actor
David LucasSteve Blum to be the new TOM, a role he had played for over a decade.(Let’s put things in perspective. At the time of this writing, The Intruder premiered nearly 12 years ago. Yup, you’re old.)
Williams Street wanted Cowboy Bebop on Toonami, and they fought hard to put it up there. Again, Cartoon Network refused. However, in spring 2001, Cartoon Network announced plans to create a weekly adult comedy block to premiere that fall. It was going to be an hour-long weekly showcase of comedy cartoons for the adult viewers. They called the block Adult Swim, and Williams Street was in charge of it after creating Toonami, which was one of Cartoon Network’s highest-rated programming blocks at the time.
They didn’t plan on putting anime on Adult Swim at the time. It was supposed to be just all comedy. Cartoon Network and Williams Street found allies and kindred spirits with Bandai, who brought Gundam Wing and later Outlaw Star and The Big O to the Toonami lineup. Ratings were good for those shows, but Williams Street still wanted Cowboy Bebop on Toonami.
Cartoon Network kept saying no, but they finally relented in August 2001. But instead of Toonami, Cowboy Bebop would be the sole anime property on the weekly Adult Swim lineup. Thirteen weeks of back-to-back airings would close out the block every Sunday night at midnight.
And the viewers watched and still watch to this day. Cowboy Bebop has been the anime cornerstone of the Adult Swim lineup since day one, and it’s only fitting the series rounds out the Toonami lineup every week. After 11 years, Williams Street finally gets one of the most iconic animated series of all time on the Toonami block.
Patience is its own reward.
The most epic love story I’ve heard in a long, long time.
This is exactly why I hate this show.
I don’t like her makeup, but her personality is cute, and her style is actually kind of cute, too.
God I hate What Not to Wear. I can see giving someone a makeover if they don’t put any effort into their appearance at all (and even then only if they WANT to start being stylish but don’t know where to start) but if someone obviously has a style of their own that makes them feel confident giving them a makeover is just dickish. This chick’s style isn’t my favorite, but if it makes her happy and she likes the way she looks then more power to her! Not dressing completely “normal” and vanilla 100% of the time doesn’t mean you’re “hiding your true self” or whatever the fuck. Giving up your personal style in favor of what the host of some shitty TV show deems appropriate is hiding your true self.
“People are going to judge you no matter what. I dont care if people think Im pretty or they like my makeup, because its still a form of judging. I just want to like it for me.”
What a great quote. They keep talking about how people perceive her and judge her because of the way she looks, but people will always judge you. Shes doing what makes her happy, and what feels right to her. Thats all that should matter.
idk….don’t people volunteer to be on this? it’s not like they’re forcing her right?
OMFG SHE’S SO CUTE. BACK IT THE FUCK UP.
People do volunteer to be on this. They give them a choice in the beginning if they want to pass or accept a five thousand dollar shopping spree. Also, people don’t just come onto this show because they lack style, they come on for fashion advice from experts. A lot of the participants actually come onto the show in order to start dressing in clothes and styles pertaining to their age. This woman is 29, dressing like she’s 16. Not bashing her though because I do think she’s “super cute” in her own way. When she accepted the money, she was probably curious about what it would be like to take on a new style, maybe one a little more mature. And just because you change your style doesn’t mean you aren’t yourself. You’re just a different version of yourself. At the end of the show, she likes the style she’s developed but still mentions that she might go back to her old ways with the eye lashes and lip stick. Staci and Clinton don’t force anyone to change themselves. They just give them advice and rules for one week. Oh yeah, and a ton of freakin’ cash. Not that horrible of a show, especially when they help women with their career and love endeavors. Style is a big part of people’s individual lives and society. It’s not a bad thing to want to be stylish. I do. You do. Everyone who wears a t-shirt does. So what if two expert fashion consultants tell people how to dress. Some people need or just want a little guidance. So chill the fuck out, ya’ll.

THIS reply. Right up here.
Honestly, I wish people would think rationally rather than get all emotional and their titties in a bunch.
Sometimes the Disney villains plot evil schemes together.
Sometimes I fall hopelessly in love with a blogger for blogging the most beautiful things.
Now is one of those times.
….The first time I saw this, I didn’t realize they were gifs, so I saw this:
I’m sorry, my childhood. I’ve fucked up.
