I think it depends on what a person wants out of the relationship. And what the other person's expectations are as well. As I mentioned my relative cheated on every husband. Pretty sure her husbands weren't expecting that. I wouldn't say I settled when I married my husband. But if my son (from a previous relationship) hadn't started looking at him as a father figure I probably would not have married him. I would have been content to just keep dating him.

As far as settling goes I think some people just want to be in a relationship and they take whatever opportunity presents itself. I have a relative that has never not been in a relationship since she was 14. She isn't that attractive and not the nicest personality and she always cheats on her husbands so I was always puzzled by her always having a man in her life until another relative said look at the men who have been in her life. And then I realized oh yeah she was settling for those men. I would rather be alone than be in a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship.

We know Che is gone and if I'm not mistaken Nya isn't returning either. So I would guess that Rosie's character would in fact be in Miranda's orbit.

Where I live men are mostly the antithesis of what I look for in a man. They have vastly different interests and different beliefs regarding most things. When I did online dating the men were almost all from a neighboring state closer to a bigger metropolitan area. My own mother would tell me I was being too picky. I would tell her the men around here are not what I want and she would say then you should change what you want. By that point I had an adult son and had been married already (my husband had died a year earlier) and was not looking to find another husband so no I was not going to settle for someone just because he lived in my zip code. I wonder how many men are told to settle. I find it insulting women are told to settle. It's basically telling her she doesn't deserve to get what she wants.

Considering Harvey would meet these women wearing nothing but a bathrobe I'm going to say the problem was definitely with Harvey.

Same. And I would add no social media. My 11 year old granddaughter was discovered to have a Tik Tok account and she had taken some concerning pics. She swears she didn't do anything with pics but it's scary she took them. She now has parental controls on her phone. And did I mention she is 11.

I'm going to put this as nicely as I can. I would never think Donna Kelce and fashion in the same sentence. And yet here we are. CBS NFL Today was getting a little crowded so I expected some guys to be let go. I wasn't a fan of Phil Simms in the booth but I would take him over Romo any day.

I've lost respect for Sunny for a variety of reasons but yeah let's add this to the list. Sunny never looked overweight to me and most certainly not obese which I thought was supposed to be the criteria for being prescribed Ozempic for weight loss. We don't know the long term side effects for using these drugs off label so who knows what might be in Sunny's future. Oh dear lord Sara's hair sometimes is just puzzling. Sunny has a lot of hair and sometimes it just overwhelms. Sunny's my age and I don't think her outfits are too young for her. I don't like some of them but it's not age related.

This. Also some were not recaps but more like editorials. I thought posters comments were supposed to be opinions but the recaps were supposed to be, well, recaps.

I read that and then watched the Offer on Paramount Plus which also told the story of the making of the Godfather. I highly recommend both. And I'm not even a big Godfather fan. LOL

But you can't un ring a bell right? Even if the judge told the jury to disregard that testimony they still heard it.

I remember those. Don't remember where I read them but they got annoying real quick. It was more commentary on the shows and less recap. I prefer commentary in threads discussing shows.

I think the problem is the evidence of the pattern is the women testifying there is a pattern. At least he isn't going free. Now he can be sent to CA and begin his sentence there.

That happened here for me. There was a thread that had what I felt to be very offensive posts and instead of engaging and most likely ending up banned I stepped back from the thread. It is not my nature to let offensive things slide but in this case I felt it was best for me.

For everyone who said why even try him in California this would be why. Not only did the woman in CA deserve justice but you never know what can happen with appeals.

Amen sister. LOL. That board was a minefield. Remember the trolls that would appear and stir things up and then disappear?

It was earlier this year but I don't remember exactly when.

For me it was like high school with the mods. There was a clique that ruled the school and if you were part of the clique or was friendly with someone in the clique it was all good but if you weren't you were at their mercy. If you acted up didn't fall in line you were cast out or brought to heel. Certain threads were just too toxic to even read towards the end. It baffled me then and still confounds me that a site about TV and celebs could have gotten so out of control to the point an entire new moderating team had to be brought in.

This. There are a ton of things I have not done or postponed doing because a cat was comfortable on me. Yep if it's not broken or bleeding profusely you were OK. She is just doing her job. If people didn't take jobs that might have negative feedback there would be a lot of job openings.

He was convicted in California also so he isn't getting out but for those poor women to have to testify again.

This is why I rarely posted on the Succession or This is Us thread. By the time I watched the episode the morning after it aired there would be multiple pages of posts. Anything I was going to say was already covered. I did enjoy reading the posts though. Other posters would see things I had missed or a poster had an analysis I hadn't previously thought about. I used to think I was the only one getting in trouble. Until I noticed some fellow posters were no longer around but new posters that sounded just like them had suddenly appeared. And then I thought oh I'm in good company.

I saw that happen here. There were posters I had seen for years and thought very highly of them. Until I saw their posts on a particular thread. They either were not the people I thought they were or they were simply joining in with the majority of posters who were not nice people.

Sometimes it's hard to discern tone from written post but you can tell when someone is being an asshole to you. There was one particular poster (she doesn't post anymore) who was always snotty when commenting on one of my posts. But then she would turn around and like one of my posts. I feel like some people like to do the gotcha game. Just waiting for someone to get something wrong so they can pounce and say you were wrong.

They did go overboard with some of their rules. I don't remember if it was here or there I got a warning for not quoting something properly. With people not always watching in real time by the time I watch something there are pages of comments. I can only imagine what it was like for water cooler shows at TWOP. When I was there I didn't stray too far from the View forum. There were so many posters on TWOP I think I felt intimidated outside of the View.

I looked at that board this morning. Some of us are still posting here. Some even have the same names.
