Have you seen the show recently? I don't think it is appropriate for 13 year old girls. I did, but not any longer. The parents are unbelievable, especially Ben's father. No parent would be so understanding. And since you have one girl and guy having sex all the time (Adrian and Ricky), and everybody else thinking about doing it, why oh why did they have to have the one and only Christian give in to having sex with her boyfriend. Sure, we all know the likely hood of girls waiting until marriage these days, but you know, with a billion people on our planet, I do believe there are some girls that will wait until marriage. But, as usual, TV only shows one side, it is impossible for anyone to believe that some people have will power. In tonight's episode you had Ben's future step mom telling him he should have sex with Amy. After all you can't get married without first knowing whether or not you are good together in bed. And the father didn't seem to have a problem with this. And then there's Grace's Christian mom, who hasn't been grieving long, suddenly hot to trot. I'm just saying Christian's always get a raw deal on TV.

Mr. Gillespie’s cheap shots at Molly Ringwald’s appearance exemplify the type of gratuitously mean-spirited writing that caused me to stop reading Reason.com (of which Mr. Gillespie is the editor-in-chief). Reason’s writers and commenters specialized in this sort of juvenile assault. I hope Big Hollywood doesn’t plan to descend to the same level.

Di,
“Square Pegs”? My head reels to waves of nostalgia from all, what, 10 episodes. But it was good and DEVO factored into it as well.

[...] like Reason’s Nick Gillespie and film producer Maura Flynn riled the social conservatives (what do you think, Dallas Jenkins?) [...]

Alexander Hamilton was reputed to be a bastard, and he did okay anyway.

Ok, so we rewrite the script. Amy is 14, and rapes an 18 year old soldier with an IQ of 85 to be able to attach his paycheck. She then has the kid, but dumps him in the first four days, at the local hospital. Keeping up the pretense that she’s still parenting to maintain her check, she conspires with here mother to defraud everyone. Maintaining the pretense leads to comedic situations with false IDs, girlfriends covering for her, and her actual lovers jumping out of windows to avoid AFDC investigators. To avoid accusations of prejudice, we make her an upper-class white Mormon Girlscout, whose single mom is the UN ambassador. Her boyfriend is a gang-banger who gives her free drugs, and she schemes as to how to get him to tie her up because it turns her on. Should I get ready to move to Hollywood?

Typo – ‘attracted’

That was a response to Whiskey’s comment deriding males who think they can get a girl with ‘beta’ behavior.

Btw, as soon as I identify an SOB (attractive or otherwise), I kick them to the curb. So ‘alpha’ alone (if a guy is a jerk) does not cut it with me or other women I know.

Being a ‘nice guy’ is no guaranteee either, however. If a woman does not think a guy is attractive. If a guy is not getting the woman he wants, it may be tempting for him to blame his ‘niceness’, but that may not be the culprit.

So sorry, guys, you need to be both not a jerk and attractive to the woman you want – there arent any shortcuts.

Correction: (warning – Slumdog movie spoilers)

Latika in Slumdog millionaire sleeps with two guys (the older brother and then the gangster) not because she is attractet to them, but because she does not think she has any other choice in order to survive.
