    Men, proudly drag that battered and cracked android phone out on the first date, it’s a litmus test for shallow people, apparently.

    I went on a first date with a girl I met from work. She farted loud enough to be heard over drunken yelling and music in the steakhouse we were in, immediately after saying “I don’t get embarassed”.

    In a couple of weeks, we will have been together for 16 years. We’ve been married for 14 years. We cook together every evening, we hold each other whenever we are in the same room for more than five minutes, and on the rare nights where we aren’t taking each other’s clothes off, we fall asleep wrapped around each other. I would have missed out on a perfect relationship if I had judged her for a phone.

      In your situation, it had nothing to do with a phone, haha. Swell on you for not judging her though.

          I take it with a grain of salt because he’s a humorist, but in Dave Barry Does Japan, his wife tells him at one point, “I heard three farts today. It’s okay here.” I haven’t read that book in decades and I still remember that line because I thought, how nice to live in a place where people don’t hide basic bodily functions.

      But you see, you had genders swapped here. It’s OK for a woman to show hers, just don’t show yours (/s, obviously)

        /s but not really. Men aren’t supposed to have standards when it comes to women according to many women
