What is the best way to tell a girl she needs to exercise without coming
across as a jackass? I think all guys need some advice in this area.
-Ramon Chacon
Dear Ramon,
Try finding some fun physical activities the two of you can do
together. Telling her to work out will probably result in a
torrent of tears, leaving you paralyzed in all your
uncomprehending guyness, desperately trying to think of the
most efficient way to "fix it." Remember: Although
cauterizing her tear ducts may seem like the most efficient
solution, it may result in unforeseen negative consequences.
Sincerely,
Nicole
Dear
Nicole,
What is going on with you and Court? Are you going to deny
your feelings forever? Damnit. Just marry him already!

Dear Kat,
I hear ya...but whenever I bring it up, he challenges me to a
race around the world. I told him I don't think I should
have to circumnavigate the globe when he hasn't even taken
me to dinner, but he says eating is for suckers.
Sincerely,
Nicole
Dear Nicole,
I am a 20 year old male from Iraq and I am constantly made fun
of for my heritage. It is very embarrassing. Are there any
ways to hide my family roots? Or get back at the people
making fun of me?
-Bangar
Dear Bangar,
Unfortunately, many Americans make broad assumptions about
Iraqis based on stereotypes and rhetoric. If you really want
to conceal your ethnicity, avoid wearing your
shoulder-mounted missile launcher to school. I don't advise
taking revenge against your bullies, but from what I've
observed, Iraqis don’t usually need any help thinking of
ways to "get back" at people. In conclusion, remember that
not all Americans are narrow-minded bigots.
