I'm at a bar.

you're a straight white male, you're playing on easy mode. be lucky that your biggest problem is not knowing what to call people who are different

oh believe me, I know my position and my relative lack of obstacles, and I can literally remember the 2 instances in which I was discriminated against (not hired in an all brown drugstore despite having supervised at another location) and called chrada (meaning white in egyptian) at a camp where I met about 85% of the 20 egyptian people I have met in my entire life.

It's because of this (oh god do I have white guilt?) that I don't mind (and actually think it's important and cringe when others don't) taking the extra effort to either treat people equally or erase the need for definitions and labels

[Howie Roary]

The average dress size in the US is a 14, I doubt there's a predominant predilection for barbie-sized clothes

14 jesus christ, that's a skewed average, you have a bunch of fatties ruining it for everyone

they need to take an average from the healthy people


note: 14 is acceptable, but a lot of fatties are tipping the scale with their 22s

[Howie Roary]

Where do the women you go shopping with shop at?! Maybe I'm lucky, but it's rare I need something altered.

you have a pretty off the rack body type though, near as I can tell. Being dragged along shopping, all I know is that is nearly impossible to find nicer clothes consistently in 12 or higher, as well as shoes 8 or higher. That and if the thighs are particularly thick or the hips fuller than the bust or vice versa, this becomes quite the difficulty

I presume you see what he's getting at, although I don't know many women that bother with alterations, they just shop somewhere else in my experience

[Howie Roary]

lin when/if you get married are you realistically going to mow the yard, take out the trash, change the oil in your car, bury the dog, fix the toilet etc... I mean yes, clearly you are very capable of doing these things, I just doubt most women will. Just how it is. Shit hasn't been a real problem since the 50s or so.

truth be told I don't like doing some of these things and would rather pay someone to do it if wifey isn't comfortable doing it. Even cleaniing my own apartment, I hire a cleaning person (lady, mostly irrelevant though) because I can sit on my ass comfortably at work for 3-6 hours and earn what it would take for her to complete with great effort and elbow grease in 6 hours+

[Howie Roary]

you just changed my mind about every woman I've ever met ever

hahahaha

edit: jesus christ I hate being late to long threads

[Conrad]

I also hate when you are late to threads

[Charismatic]

Nope. Stopping this now.

[Howie Roary]

my only complaint about being a straight white male is there are no scholarships for my demographic. The fact that I have no financial support from parents and was raised in poverty until 18 when I had my own job is immaterial when it comes to this stuff.

If I had to anticipate a response, I could imagine someone might say I should have no problems paying for school since the way is pretty much paved for me, but growing up without money didn't typically make me feel like an equal to my peers. It would certainly be nice to have that much less to pay off on my student loans. I never thought of it at the time, but the fact that I needed a part time job in order to get by in conjunction with my student loan (the loan forms pretty much say you have to get one) put me at a schedule disadvantage in terms of hours dedicated to schoolwork.

It's not really something I think about more than when the topic comes up, but hey it would be cool if it's diffierent. Who doesn't like free money?

is it though? i wonder what the BMI is of the average 14.

skirk I am pretty sure you dislike me. It's just more apparent at times, but I really wonder from time to time.

[Conrad]

I am not lying when I say I am completely ambivalent towards you, howie

[Charismatic]

Skirkle doesn't even know how to dislike people, shut up with that shit.

[Conrad]

also likely true

[Howie Roary]

I am not lying when I say I am completely ambivalent towards you, howie
