Don't you remember, the thing, that thing she posted...yea. If i was you i'd buy half minute hero and rune factory frontier this instant.
Hahaha, oh wow.
Wowwwww. Yes, women are going gay by choice because men suck. Wait what?
That said, the article did hit a little close to home on one note, my bf is (I'm pretty sure) actually addicted to video games and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do to help him. :\

If it's on PSN, I just might bite. If I can't afford one XSEED game, of course there's another one to buy!
Well, he's been on unemployment for the last year or so, so he usually wakes up around 2 pm, gets on Steam right away and then games until about 4 am. I know he likes his hobby so I suggested he play more console games so I can sit with him and watch or read a book or something but no dice, he prefers being alone. He did just start school again though so we'll see how that goes.
I just graduated from uni and he's started saying stuff like "when you get a job, we can buy an HDTV"...no way pal, I ain't funding you a new TV!
anyway i should stop using this thread to complain about my man problems lolol
Edit: ugh and I just made it to the end of that horrible article, wtf!
Tell me this isn't the most ridiculously sexist statement ever.

The videogame playing and addiction may just be masking other severe motivation or problems with depression or something possibly? Or maybe it didn't start as that but is turning into a vicious cycle. That's what it sounds like to me. Hope everything works out for you two.
Also on videogames.. RUNE FACTORY HAS A GIRL OPTION??? Hahaha.. Man, I have not been keeping up.
Yeah, I await the 3DS game to allow more options than 4 guys.. but seems off to a good start! I'm happy.
While I am on the subject.. more RPGs with major female leads in general (and not just as a "side or co-lead"), thanks.
And wow, the article sounds more and more bs.. hahaha..
Men = stand up for the weak and disempowered?
This implies that women = weak and disempowered?
Bleh. What a dumb article.

They usually come off far more insulting than comedic though because the ideas are not ones everyone laughs in unison at. Some people, enough people, actually believe the shit that article is spewing.
If anyone in this thread suddenly becomes weak, frail, and helpless, let me know. I have a penis so it is my duty to protect you.
About females in RPGs: I don't know why, but I prefer playing as a female in RPGs (maybe because it's uncommon for female leads? I don't know), but I don't like romancing guys at all, so please put in lesbian options! I guess this is how women feel when all their choices are women.

Hope he has some redeeming qualities for you to be with him, because he sounds like a megaloser from what you're describing ;b
Just wanted to chime in and agree that P3P is a really fun game! Has a female lead (ok, she's basically the same as the silent male lead haha), turned based rpg, and social/dating elements.
Btw, you can play as a female farmer in two of the Harvest Moon games on the Wii ("Tree of Tranquility" and "Animal Parade"). There isn't any action-rpg elements like the Rune Factory series, but its still got that farming and ranching goodness if you enjoy that. :]

A complex subject. I haven't actually read the article yet, but the parts devo quoted seemed a bit stupid.
Just to go back to my post in here though.
First of all, I was talking purely in physical terms when I said this and in a sexual context. The sex act is a form of male dominance. That contrast is perhaps attractive to men.
Anyway, the point being, men are more robust and women more delicate in comparison. If we look at it from a more natural point of view, It was man's job to be protector of his family. He is the stronger of the two physically. Men protecting the family, women nurturing the children. Of course modern society's traditional gender roles are somewhat artificial. Men going to work and women staying at home washing the dishes is kind of artificial in terms of nature, but you can see that the very idea of forming gender roles in itself is probably a natural behaviour. As I said, man taking on the more protective role, woman nurturing the children. Of course we see this in other animals. Lions protect the pride while the lionesses hunt and nurture the cubs.
I will state that I am not saying that women should go back to washing the dishes (lol) that's not what I am getting at. I just wonder if the more natural form of gender role -- man protecting the family -- is less needed now, and perhaps has some affect on male behaviour. The lack of responsibility. In developmental terms there was a need for men to take on that responsibility, it was expected of them. There isn't so much now. Women can provide for themselves.

Fuck yeah! Persona 5 better have an option for a girl MC and some lesbian romance. :3

What have you done?! The streams are crossing!
I don't get it.
Haha, yeah, he is a good guy at heart. Which is why I wanna help him get out of this if I can.
But I have no idea who that is!
Gay and lesbian options should really be more commonplace than they are in gaming. Oh, and the option to play as a female, of course.
Girl-GAF, I finally decided to break down and buy a bra online because I really need a few new ones (I haven't bought a new bra in two years because I hate shopping for them so much.)
Does anyone else find it impossible to find bras that are:
In your size.
Are not push-ups.
Don't look uncomfortable.
Aren't hideous.
And are relatively cheap?
I think this bra does not exist. Any recommendations on where I should look? :/

All of those are excellent reasons to try before you buy, as horrendously frustrating as it is.
Look for a good "T-Shirt" bra; they tend to be lightly padded (so your built-in thermometers don't advertise) and usually are constructed so that while they may look uncomfortable, are actually quite fine.
Also, I don't know what you mean by "relatively cheap", but a good bra that meets your first four categories probably won't meet the fifth. A good bra is a good investment.

Not sure what you're working with, but if you're on the smaller-boobed side like myself, H&M makes pretty decent bras on the cheap. They are comfy, cute, and it wont hurt when it comes time to replace them since they're usually under $20 a pop. On the higher end of the price scale, Calvin Klein is my go-to, especially for wearing under form-fitting tees. Cosabella and Betsey Johnson is my favorite for stuff on the sexier side, since the whole line is basically devoid of outrageous padding.
I guess what I'm saying is, stay away from Fredrick's/Victoria's Secret
I guess its a bit different in the US but here in the UK every major clothing store does bras and at some of them you can try them on before you buy. There are many cheap stores like matalan, and then there are mid range stores like marks and spencers where I usually always shop at. Personally, I would NEVER buy a bra online!

You can try them on anywhere that sells them in the US.
The best thing is to go to an independent store dedicated to lingerie (not Victoria's Secret) and get measured and fitted.
I'll leave this here. I have a soft spot for female vocals in punk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpPEACvAGNc
Until I found this one place, I had the worst, worst time with bras. I can't shop the cheap places, and all I could find before were super expensive ($100+ for one bra) and so I wore the one till it died its last death. They were also super ugly and beige forever.

This place is my savior. Haha. I don't think you'll have one, but if you do, they are cheap (for me at least) and have cute colours (I can finally wear colours on my bras yessss).
But yes. This place fulfills all requirements and is my favourite ever. I love them. <3 Thanks, Change, for making well priced bras for ladies with ridiculous breasts.

Buying a bra online is like buying shoes online. They are the two things that really need to fit perfectly, so you want to get a good feel for them before you buy them. Can you exchange it if the size is wrong? If not, I'd be really wary about buying online.
Last week I went looking for an awesome push up bra, and ended up buying a really cute lacy one that wasn't push up at all. I have very mixed feelings about it. Its cute, but it also represents the disappointing truth

What are your opinions on the pushups that have the clasp in the front? I've always avoided pushups because they have never done anything but flatten my breasts or simply hover over them because of the padding. Recently though I tried the ones that open in front for the first time and they work PERFECTLY. They lift in all the right spots and don't make it seem like I'm wearing a pushup. Thoughts?

Man, how I would kill for smaller boobs! I used to have B sized when I was younger 4 or 5 years ago and I loved wearing tight T-shirts but now I feel so self concious whenever I do. Mine aren't even THAT big to begin with, I dunno how ladies with much bigger chests deal with it.
They just got bigger out of nowhere? Chest growth spurt? When will mine come?!
I had the same thing happen :| Somewhere in my early to mid-20s they went from B to D. It was a very awkward adjustment period, especially given that I was also living in Japan where bra sizes are way different from ours anyway. I ended up getting bras with way huge band sizes to compensate.
I don't really have one but off the top of my head I really like the singer in Freezepop.

Come on 20th birthday don't fail me now!
I wonder why, it seems like a really odd time for a growth spurt...

Blame hormones.
Your skin will change about a half-dozen times post-puberty (and you thought you were done with acne!), and in the words of my doctor: "every woman hits a point in her life where her metabolism no longer works the way it once did".
For me, that was my 22nd birthday.

More proof that I need to eat as many delicious things as possible before its too late.
Not looking forward to more acne =/ I never had a lot, but I used to get really big ones in embarrassing places (tip of my nose/chin etc). I guess it depends on your diet as well..
Oh lawd I hope that happens to me. C would be just great.

True. I guess as someone with smaller breasts you don't often think about the troubles larger breasts can cause (namely backpain and staring, which I don't envy). Still, cleavage would be nice.
