Hotness ranking system disrespectful
Over the past two weeks, I’ve spent some quality time with guy friends – a week-long trip to Texas for a wedding, half-price apps to catch up with a pal, a lazy Sunday afternoon with my fiance and his roommates – and I’ve once again been subjected to the world of “guy talk.”
With said exposure, annoyances of the past have resurfaced, and I fi [...]

Movie theater etiquette gone by waysi...
