I found this incredibly uncomfortable. The quotes below may provide some idea as to why:
Young women are perhaps more acclimated than their elders to the idea that physical pain is inextricably bound up with happiness – and with winning praise.
Dieting and waxing can be physically painful, but they’re also almost mandatory behaviors for young women who want to chase a body ideal. Girls play more sports (and suffer more overuse injuries) than they did two decades ago. They sleep less and are demonstrably more anxious. All of this is particularly true of the brightest and most ambitious.

For all you January dieters/detoxers - hopefully this will re-inspire you when making salads. Eating, regardless of the what ends you are hoping to accomplish, should be pleasurable and fulfilling. Else why bother?

I really should take this more to heart.

Men stay in relationships longer if their partners initiate the cuddling. Surprising, no. What’s cute are the instructions on how to engage in such behaviour. I suppose the terrible hearts and flowers celebration is approaching, so ladies, it may be time to brush up on those skills.
Just remember…claws+scalp massage=bad idea

We accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings.

A fundamental irony of the erotica I want to write is spending so much time crafting words to describe a thing for which none suffice.

Words every good story teller wants to hear. It proves your audience is engaged, and attentive. This collection leaves you wondering just that. I wouldn’t recommend it to children, as it can be quite disturbing…that said, I was a precocious child who was reading things like this well before I was supposed to.

Obesity is an international concern, public figures are publicly committing to shedding the pounds (see the Fords of Toronto as an example) in an effort to gain sympathy. However, before them, Lord Byron committed to the cause. His statements on what women should eat in public are wonderfully inspiring.

So it’s despicable if you’re cheating because you’re physically attracted to someone, bored with monogamy or just having a hard time with it…but if you’re “in love” or have convinced yourself of it, it’s perfectly fine. Especially if you buy into the whole marriage thing, and completely absolve yourself socially. Apparently it’s not cheating if you aren’t in love with your existing relationship; you’re just prepping for your next marriage.
The question remains - how’re you to know that someone who abandoned a relationship they legally agreed to commit to, won’t do the same once they’ve locked you into one?

I was in this city recently, and the book isn’t bad. It made for decent airport reading, while trapped in a strange city, away from friends. The text is engaging enough the distract, and the characters, while raw, are believable. It’s not the best, but it’s not awful.
