While he asked about the specific situation of her staying at his place, there is a very general skill of "how can I tell if a woman is interested in sex"
Viewing their SO profile, they have a net 0 (because I don't think it goes negative) score for all their top tags, but still have 1.7k rep because they asked some acceptable questions 8 years ago
For some context - this is my first semester in college where I'm having a roommate, and there have been several complications. It's off-campus housing and we don't attend the same university.
My roommate has lots of friends and is more or less a party animal (frequently arrives in the room lat...
Going forward, “rep-whore” (and its derivatives) will be treated like any other term that’s inconsistent with the community’s “be nice” policy: it will be removed.
It’s totally okay if you’ve used it in the past.
Nobody’s judging the many users who’ve used it. And users will NOT start being s...
Censoring is when opposing views are stifled simply for being opposing. The terms in question aren't being blocked because they offer an opposing view, but rather because they are in violation of the be nice policy. Though it seems that this conversation is likely going nowhere, so I won't carry it further.

@Catija There are people who are hawks about their wedding and want everything to be just perfect
@RichardU This is the same dynamic as not using other slurs
You can describe the behavior, but you must be civil and nice while doing it. We don't allow you to call people other names either, but you can point out problematic behavior
So, my high school best friend from a year ago suddenly comes back in my life, we hadn't been talking lately (this was fueled a little fight, or a misunderstanding) but now we are, more than in the past few months.
We were in the same school last year, but, due to life we changed schools and it'...
Background
I moved to Denmark a bit more than a year ago - from a Western Europe country. I originally did not plan on staying there more than 6 months. For that reason, I did not start learning the language right away. I started learning the language less than 6 months ago. I am really willing ...

In my country of origin, Hungary, men should enter pubs and bars before their female companion, as opposed to holding the door for them. This is due to the assumption that pubs and bars can be dangerous and it would be unpolite to let the lady enter first. I was looking at etiquette rules in othe...
I think we can all agree about the fact that ego and comparing yourself to others are very well related.
The other day I was talking about this topic with a friend of mine, who studies psychology at university, and he came out with this belief: ego has a good side, that inspires you to become a ...
@Sid It's usually used as an insult, and a condescending one at that. " Um, yeah, this post is 'problematic'". Plus, it's just a weasel word. It doesn't mean anything.
@Sid need proof? If someone says that something is "problematic" what does that mean?

@RoryAlsop when I was a project manager, one of the fellows reporting to me started talking like that because everyone had been talking to him like that. I told him that I speak English and he didn't need to use Buzzword BS with me.
