It’s just one of many other online platforms created by and for men who describe themselves as “involuntary celibate” that exist within the so-called “manosphere.” I was accepted to become a member after a couple of weeks. And then I began lurking around, scrolling through thousands of their posts and discussions, and joining different chatrooms to find out what’s really going on in the mind of an average incel and what they think about women....

Oscar Wilde spent his last days at a chic hotel in Paris, while many of Tennessee Williams’ plays were written out of his suite in a Manhattan hotel, and for God’s sake, what artist didn’t live at the infamous Hotel Chelsea in New York City? And then there’s Russian con artist, Anna Sorokin, who pretended to be a wealthy German heiress (under the name Anna Delvey) and swindled her way into some of New York’s swankiest hotels for four years....

Posting to the subreddit ‘TrueOffMyChest,’ the man explained that he and his wife have been together for 12 years, and during that time, she has not made the slightest amount of effort to be on time for anything. Before the two were married, he would have to wait an average of 15 minutes to an hour for her to show up on their dates. Now, he’s divorcing her because of her lack of punctuality....

I found another job within the company, but I had to take a $10k pay cut. I was a freshly divorced single mom of a teenager. I needed a job, and I was happy to have one. Of course, maintaining my home on a now lower single income was a challenging and stressful adjustment. I had started writing to process what was happening in my life. After that, two surprising things happened: people read it and paid me for it....

Worrying about being “cool” seems like something that you should be over in high school. It’s really easy to worry about what other people think of you. Unfortunately, that’s the tip of the iceberg for some people. It doesn’t really change much after high school. It’s natural for you to want people to like you. Wanting to be liked isn’t wrong. We all have to have friends, don’t we?...

The pink tealight next to me flickered back and forth, distracting me from my target. I shook it out of my head and turned back to the quartz, beginning the chant I memorized from my spellbook: Crystal power, reach out to Barry and tickle his ear. Give him this message. Call me. Call me. Call me within five minutes. I repeated the mantra in a whisper: Call me. Call me....

I excelled in both athletics and the arts and joined every club I could. Always had straight As and graduated from high school in the top 10 of my class. When it came time for college, scholarships came rolling in. I made sure to maintain a spot on the Dean’s list, and while working in addition to going to school and doing unpaid internships on the side, I managed to graduate with two majors in 3 1/2 years....

You can’t imagine how painful and difficult it is for me to admit this to the world. I’m still full of shame. This is part of my healing journey — admitting I’m not the perfectly curated “perfect” person that other people in my life may think I am — and knowing that there are a few people out there who saw the truth for what it was. This is also a story of hope because I conquered this particular demon....

It’s been ten years since I first met Shawn. I had seen him around before but always kept my distance because I heard he was married. I didn’t want to be the other woman and become involved with that kind of drama. We started hanging out, which led to major flirting, and major flirting led to eventual sex, and the sex led to falling in love. He got legally divorced about a year after our affair started....

I juggle the challenges — and stigma — that accompany having Autism. I was diagnosed with “Asperger’s Syndrome” circa 2001, which is now simply referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorder. In spite of my “disability,” I became an accomplished juggler, pianist, a recipient of a medal that is equivalent to the rank of Eagle Scout, a college graduate of two science degrees, and a published author — all by my mid-twenties....

But, if you do you certainly won’t regret taking action. As TikToker and Instacart driver, Jessica Higgs says in her now-viral post, “If you see something, say something.” The Instacart delivery driver saved an older man’s life by defying protocol and paying attention. In a post on her TikTok, Higgs described an Instacart order that she delivered where she went the extra mile (and then some) for her customer. Higgs had received the order from the daughter of an elderly man who was ordering groceries for her father....

The mother shared her story on Mumsnet, a UK-based internet forum that describes itself as being “by parents for parents,” under the username Sadma. The woman was hurt when her daughter when prom dress shopping with her stepmom. The woman says she has been looking forward to dress shopping for her daughter’s prom for a long time now. Her daughter is her only child, so she won’t have a chance like this again....

The reality television star and entrepreneur has been very open about her passion for becoming a lawyer, recently revealing that she had passed the baby bar exam. She also gave a rare insight into her political beliefs in a recent podcast interview, fuelling rumors that the Kardashians could be White House bound. After finally passing, many people wonder if this means Kardashian might be a step closer to making a career for herself as a politician and a lawyer....

Should there be a conversation about it? A conversation isn’t exactly what one would call TikTok user @kevindoolyrah’s reaction to his girlfriend asking him if she could participate in “stripping” and “OnlyFans.” But the video has stirred quite the debate around one central question: Is it wrong to dump your partner for having an OnlyFans? Since its inception in 2015, OnlyFans has solidified itself as the leading platform for sex workers to be able to publish their own content and make money from what they produce....

Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, celebrated their recent nuptials on August 20, after tying the knot in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July. While the singer did give fans a sneak peek of her dress and shared some other images of the Georgia event, guests were required to keep other details of the big day a secret — until one guest allegedly broke that rule! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made guests sign an NDA — which someone broke by posting a video of their wedding....

In 2020, a former writer for talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” decided to expose his negative experience work on the show. While on the talk show, Kimmel can oftentimes seem forward-thinking and progressive in his stances, but the behind-the-scenes look at what he was like to work with completely changes that. Jimmy Kimmel’s former writer called out sexist and homophobic behavior on the set of his talk show....

Critics say that the famous commentator’s podcast is spreading misinformation after two specific episodes were released with guests that allegedly shared inaccurate information about the COVID pandemic and vaccines. Rogan has now addressed the controversy and attempted to explain that his podcast was never about sharing facts but, instead, about hearing different perspectives. That’s fair enough. Anyone who thought Rogan was an accurate source of information on vaccine science is severly mistaken....

The teenage Swiftie DMed Mayer on Instagram, and much to her surprise, he responded, according to the screenshots. But instead of getting upset over the harsh comment, Mayer appeared surprisingly calm and forgiving. John Mayer had the perfect response to hate from Taylor Swift’s fan. The exchange didn’t start off very civil. The Swift fan, later saying that she had been dared by a friend, apparently sent John Mayer a death threat, hoping that he would “choke on something....

The singer just released her latest hit album, “Midnights” and positive reviews have been flooding in from fans and critics. With all of her incredible success over the past decade and a whopping net worth of over $360 million, Swift is truly the “Artist of the Decade” (at least, according to the American Music Awards in 2019). But, given how the few journalists who have shared anything but glowing reviews for Swift over the years have been treated, it’s hard to know if all the positive feedback in sincere....

In fact, every single planet in the solar system has a role to play in your birth chart. Yes, that means a Mercury sign, Saturn sign, and 8 other astrological planets to consider. But let’s kick things off with the largest of them all: Jupiter, named after the Roman god of sky and thunder — the Roman equivalent of Zeus in Greek mythology. Jupiter sign meaning in astrology Jupiter is the planet of luck and dictates how we experience fortune, wealth, and success....
