• Hey, Nice Comment! Reader Spotlight

  

  We love and appreciate our readers witty, sincere, and often hilarious comments at Datingish and we're celebrating them here at Reader Spotlight!

  Every week we will be picking and spotlighting some of the funniest, popular, or thoughtful comments our wonderful readers have submitted. If you think we missed a good one, post it here (including who said it and the article it's from).
  
  Here are some of the gems we found this week:

  
  
  From "What if Love Had Units?", mcmeister89@mancouch said:
  
  Easy.
  Love is a feeling which centers in our brain (sorry all you poetics) that is caused by chemical reactions. Oxytocin, dopamine, adrenaline, vasopressin, and serotonin all show strong correlation with love and lust. So, if you're going to measure love, you could possibly do it by measuring the chemicals in our heads.
  I believe microliters would be appropriate.
  ... and please baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
  
  From "I'm Sorry Grandma, But I Just DON'T Want To Have Kids," Shinby_Belldandy@xanga said:
  
  I plan on having kids in the future but I dont nag on people who dont want them. For many they dont feel maternal/paternal & that's perfectly fine! I'd rather they be honest than to have kids & end up neglecting them. I hate the misconception that if someone doesnt want kids, they hate them. Not true.
  
  I always tell people who rag on childless by choice couples that if they want to pay the medical bills, child support & college fund, I'm sure the people will change their minds. That usually shuts them up fast.
  
  From "Oral Sex May Lead To Throat Cancer in Men" XoAsianBabioX@xanga said:
  
  don't encourage guys to not give me head plz.
  
  From "Will Anyone Date a Girl Who Doesn't Drink?" wikidemicnovelist@xanga said:
  
  I love this post. I think I scare guys away (especially because of my array of vibrantly colored wigs), but... being me is more fun than being with somebody who wants me to conform. At least, that's how I think of it.
  
  From "Yale Fraternity Pledges Chant About Rape" oXicexbabyXo@xanga said:
  
  As a rape victim, i can personally say, that i find this highly offensive. It's nothing to joke about. 1 of every 4 women have either been raped, or someone has attempted to rape them. Think of how many women's ears this chant reached, now think about how many of them were that 1 in four...
  
  From "The SCAR Project: Breast Cancer is Not a Ribbon or a Wrist Band" PseudoEuphoric@xanga said:
  
  Most breast cancer campaigns annoy me now, especially after my little sister was diagnosed at the age of 19 and my mom suddenly went on a shopping spree to buy all sorts of pink shit (the companies donating a small percentage to research) and send out breast cancer invites on Facebook, instead of sending money directly to a good campaign to help find a cure or even send some money to my little sister to help pay her hospital bills (luckily some smaller charities have donated a few thousand to her, but her jackass boyfriend borrowed most of it from her to fix his company car). Grr. She's done with treatments and will be on tamoxifin (sp?) for the next 5 years, but it irks me that there are survivors struggling to recover emotionally and pay off their bills, yet everyone's buying pink items left and right, and changing their Facebook pictures to the color pink. What do either of those do, aside from show you're as aware as everyone else that the disease exists? :|
  
  From "Help! I Can't Get Over What I Did" sweetpeppery@xanga said:
  
  Why spend the time on beating yourself up over something that you cannot change? Why not spend that effort on better things, things that you can make happen? People will always judge. But their judgement only matters when you allow it. I was told once that we need to always define our history and never let our history define us. Hope you make the right choice this time.
  
  From "There's Not Someone For Everyone. So What?" KaeishaVixen@xanga said:
  
  Your article is very refreshing. I had romantic wishes at one time or another. But they faded away, and now I am ever thankful for it completely. I just to much of a complicated, obnoxious person to be with, and besides humans annoy me to no end.
  Society has taught us in order to be happy you have to be with the special someone, somethings wrong with you. The opposite is exact about you. You can be happy, single, and living it up without having the house, husband and kids to watch over. I like the quiet, and i will love the quiet and the sound of a moonlight night. Without human beings.
  
  From "'I Thought You Said You Were Eighteen!': The Pros and Cons of Chat Rooms" xraindropsonroses said:
  
  When I was 12, I chatted with this guy from India, gave him my msn, and webcammed him. Told him I was getting married the next day. We later got into an argument about how the land size of Canada is bigger than the land size of India. He was positive that the land size of India was bigger than Canada's...
  
  Yeah, I used chat rooms when I was younger, but they don't appeal to me anymore.
  I also got asked to flash this guy, I said okay, grabbed a flash light, and then flashed him.. He blocked me. Clever 12 year old mind.
  
  Thanks, everybody and keep 'em coming!
