    Somewhere around your third bad commute of the week, you’ve probably daydreamed about a different world. Not necessarily a better one, just different. Maybe it involved a garden. Maybe it involved never speaking to another human being again. No shame either way.

    Most of us have already picked a favorite version of the future, even if we’ve never said it out loud. Your coworker who preps for everything and reads survival blogs on his lunch break? He’s already picked his bunker. Your aunt who’s obsessed with her tomato plants and community potlucks? She’s basically living the pilot episode of her own solarpunk future.

    Nobody actually knows which one fits them until they’re forced to think it through, which is exactly what this is for. 25 questions and six wildly different ways to spend the rest of your life.

    Toxic masculinity, macho culture, chauvinism, misogynism, and the manosphere. We hear a lot about how rigid and destructive masculine norms pressure men to be violently dominant, emotionally closed off and opposed to anything that’s seen as remotely ‘feminine.' But something we don't often speak about is the flip side of the coin: toxic femininity.

    Experts describe it as a form of internalized misogyny that sees women restricting themselves to stereotypically “feminine” behaviors in order to appeal to men. And they say it’s more common than many of us might think.

    People have been sharing examples of toxic femininity in a series of online threads. From motherhood, to beauty standards, and self-inflicted martyrdom, Bored Panda has put together some of the best 'definitions of womanhood' that scream ‘toxic femininity.’

    Some believe that toxic femininity is about women using their “feminine” qualities to manipulate men. But many experts argue that's not the case. In reality, they say toxic femininity involves a woman restricting their behavior to fit stereotypically feminine traits that men supposedly find pleasing.

    It's more common, and more harmful, than many might think. According to Monica Vermani, a clinical psychologist and author of A Deeper Wellness: Conquering Stress, Mood, Anxiety and Traumas, toxic femininity can affect a woman's health and well-being by increasing stress levels, sabotaging their sense of identity, contributing to a feeling of powerlessness, and leading to unhealthy relationships.

    As a woman:

    1. **Big [manhood]/ being tall:** It's okay to shame men over their bodies but not women.
    2. **Calling every woman with her own mind and opinion a "pick me"** : Need I say more?
    3. Calling every guy a creep even when he isn't being a creep, and you just don't like him.
    4. Saying you want your SO to open up about his feelings, but when he does you end up using it against him in arguments or after you break up
    5. Hitting men and thinking it's fine because you're a woman and he's a man
    6. "male tears" "Is it a girl or an abortion?"
    7. ALL men
    8. Gossiping in front of the people you're gossiping about and being obvious about it.
    9. Passive-aggressiveness at work or school. The amount of hurt I have seen women inflect on other women is disgusting! And it's also insidious, because you can't describe it as easily as you would if someone hit you or was just aggressive in other ways.
    10. Thinking men are otherworldly so they must not have feelings or anything. It's okay to call them ugly etc as if they weren't a human being just like you. (see the hypocrite that is Billie Ellish and her comments about ugly men, while simultaneously not wanting people to body shame her, and being celebrated as some sort of body positive hero.
    11. Thinking that anyone who criticizes feminism is anti-equality, a "pick me," or an incel.

    The most recent thing I have heard from women is that some women tell other women that they aren't "real women" if they adopt or otherwise don't experience pregnancy or vaginal birth.

    “Both toxic masculinity and femininity are unhealthy as they pressure individuals to fit a mold rather than strive to live and relate to others authentically, as their highest and best selves,” explains the expert.

    Licensed therapist Meaghan Rice, says that toxic femininity often happens as a subconscious effort to find value or feel accepted in a patriarchal society. In some cases women are explicitly told to conform to traditional stereotypes. In others, they attempt to align with those stereotypes themselves.

    The concept of motherhood in general seems to bring out a lot of toxic behaviour. Whether or not a woman chooses to become a mother, and if she does every action or decision after that seems to be up for judgment and criticism. Those “mommy” groups on Facebook all seem to devolve into a pit of negativity eventually.

    Self inflicted martyrdom. My mum would go on and on about how much she does for the family (which was a lot and I am grateful) and about how we all did nothing but she would never tell us how to do anything. We were small kids, we didn't know how to do any chores or what's expected because she never showed us. She would make us feel guilty for existing because by us existing she had more work. And the kicker is when you'd try and be like "alright, what can I do to help and make your life easier?" she'd respond "nothing". I love her but lord this was exhausting to live with and I notice this trait more in women than men.

    The eldest female child taking on the role of a "mother" in most Asian cultures. I had to run the house at a very young age (cooking, cleaning, laundry etc.) while taking care of my siblings at the same time.

    Not sure if this applies to other cultures too. I hope it doesn't. I never had the chance to be a child.

    One example I’d say is strict adherence to beauty standards. Like how there are women who will literally never leave their house without make-up. Never. And some women will judge other women for not following beauty trends. I’ve heard women insult other women over so many things, like not wearing makeup, not wearing makeup the “right” way, not shaving enough body parts, not wearing a bra, wearing open-toed shoes with unpainted toenails, the list goes on.

    Men are parents, guardians, or other caretakers, and their children are with them as part of daily life.

    Women often don't understand this, and assume that the man is either a [offender], divorced, or 'on special duty'.

    I would say that toxic feminity can be quite similar to toxic masculinity. I'd describe it as those women who yell at men when they get emotional or vulnerable, telling them to 'man up' or 'you're supposed to be the man in this relationship!'. Kind of the same thing that 'traditional men' would say.

    It pisses me off because it's bringing women down (saying they are weaker than men) while also being really hard on the men and not letting them express themselves.

    Also, as you say, all that stuff about having to have children to be 'real women'.

    A more light-hearted example of, if not toxic, at least mildly annyoing feminity would be those women who force their husbands/boyfriends to wear a tie that matches their dress to weddings etc. (We have to match, honey!!)

    I'm a woman myself, if it helps.

    Toxic masculinity = Men expected to be tough with no feelings and responsible for protecting others

    Toxic femininity = Women expected to be the caretaker in any situation and responsible for others' happiness

    Caretaker can be a note taker in a work meeting, it can be the person who is always cooking, the person always changing diapers, the organizer, or the nurse to the sick.

    I am sure I am simplifying complex things with this statement.

    My partner used to slouch on purpose because being tall made her feel not feminine (she's about 5'8) and she stopped playing netball because it gave her muscle which also made her feel less feminine. She's better with it now and agrees the idea of being feminine can be toxic.

    Prioritizing "girl power" over actual competence. I've worked for women who know their [stuff], and are easily respectable and trustworthy..... then there's the raging narcissistic thundercunts that need to throw their weight around, just so you know that they're in charge. They make bad decisions then pat themselves on the back for breaking through the glass ceiling, when it's obvious to everybody that they are just a walking Napoleon complex.

    Some traits/examples:

    * Mean girls.
    * Talking over others
    * Belittling others whether face to face or through gossip mongering.
    * Passive aggression - think eye-rolling, patronizing comments, fake laughing and niceties, smiley faces following a harsh-worded email, etc.
    * Jealousy, resentment, and bitterness towards other women for their looks, popularity, and professional performance.
    * Competing with other female colleagues through their looks, dominance, work, or sexuality.
    * Pregnancy culture
    * Supermom culture
    * Wedding culture
    * Dating culture.

    When women joke about men's hair loss or height. Things men can't really change. That's toxic.

    #34

    I often get scrutinized for not wearing makeup. I have nothing against it, I just feel more like myself without it. I put myself together, I just don't spend a ton of time styling my hair specifically or dabbling in cosmetics and for some reason that's taboo.

    #35

    Forcing girls to be feminine when it's not wanted or warranted. My partner has never been girly. When growing up her Nan (who raised her) constantly pushed for dresses, pink things and the like. Her Nan never relented and pushed it until my partner moved out.

    Women don't need to wear dresses or makeup or similar. Let them do and wear what they want.

    A subset I call the “Call Her Daddy” type. It’s tenets are basically, as long as you’re hot you can be as crazy, toxic, messy, and mean as you want, and you should use other people (especially men) as much as possible to achieve your ends.

    If anyone doesn’t like the way you are, that’s a personal failing on their part and just proves the idea that “my beauty attracts haters” so I must be doing something right! They will say they hate men and don’t like them while also admitting that everything they do is explicitly for male attention and validation.

    I’ve met a few of this type and I can tell you right now if they weren’t conventionally attractive, no group of people would ever put up with it.

    #37

    Skewed social responsibilities.

    Women expecting men to assume traditional gender roles of the provider while simultaneously thinking it's abhorrent that some men prefer the traditional gender role for women being SAHM, home makers, etc.

    Doesn't get much worse than that.

    #44

    Painting with a broad brush here, but the way I've personally seen a lot of females treat one another is wild. I'm not exactly sure why, but it seems like there's a lot of peculiar gatekeeping around "being a real woman."

    I also have several female friends that just can't be friends with other females. Any time anyone mentions another female, they pop off a little bit. Definitely possible it's anecdotal but none of them have anything in common besides being a woman so it seems like it can't be entirely uncommon.

    Obviously all of this can apply to men as well but it seems more prevalent in females in my experience.

    #45

    Maybe it’s a Japan thing (raising my family here), but Japanese women tend to almost take pride in not fixing tech stuff. From printers to smartphones to flipping fuses, they tend to have the attitude of, “Fixing that stuff is why we keep guys around.”

    My wife has this attitude, even though she’s amazingly smart and capable, and my daughter is picking it up as well. Can’t stand it.

    Being called inherently lazy for not doing makeup/nails/high heels/or some complicated hair do. No judgement on women whom like to do those things. Whatever makes you happy. But I’d rather focus on other things.

    #47

    If you hold a woman accountable or disprove them you are now mansplaning. If a guy is flirting with her that she isnt attracted to, he is suddenly a creep. Wants equal rights but not equal consequences.

    #48

    Reading some of these responses I think there are some men (and women) who don’t understand what toxic femininity/masculinity is.

    Toxic femininity is society’s standards of femininity that serves against us. Both men and women can ~~have~~ engage in this behaviour. For example:

    - “too posh to push” dialogue

    - believing women are naturally better carers or parents (ETA: and by extension, men as less reliable parents)

    - believing a woman’s purpose is to stay home and bear children without earning an income (eta: and by extension, a man must be the breadwinner)

    - a lot of the makeup / fashion industry promoting beautiful slim women (if you’re not beautiful and/or slim, you are not being a proper woman)

    - see also social influencers

    - treating women who are not overtly emotional, or with male-dominated interests as strange or different

    - shaming women with menstrual cycles as unclean, must be kept hush hush as feminine women are clean and pure.

    Conversely, typical examples of toxic masculinity are “boys will be boys” and “man up.”

    #49

    Lmaooo hell yeah it is. i’ll give you an example that happened today in the morning while i was in public health class. we were having a big class discussion about kids having diabetes and ways on how to fix this, who to blame, etc. we were also role playing, so one guy was a teacher and one girl was a mother. the class teacher asked the mother something along the lines of “you work 10 hours a day and when you come home, you are too tired to make dinner so you just order something unhealthy like a pizza for the family. to try and solve this, who could you ask to help you make dinner or lunch for the kids?” she proceed to answer “my husband” randomly, out of nowhere, a girl (the class loudmouth) blurted out, “who are you kidding, men are useless” and the teacher just laughed it off and everything went back to normal. now what if the roles were reversed? ngl it made me kinda uncomfortable and i cringe a little but i just brushed it off.

    #50

    Hm, so if toxic masculinity says men must act strong, be emotionless, and dominate women, that would mean toxic femininity is acting weak, emotional, and submissive, and maybe shaming other women for not doing the same?

    I sort of feel like all femininity is viewed as toxic in American culture. Think about what happens if a dude wears a dress, vs a girl wearing a suit.

    #51

    Yes, I think the oddest example I can find is the toxicity of women's competitiveness against other women and men when working, how you have to "claw your way up" and step on people just to reach success, and how the attitudes of successful women are absolutely [the worst] towards one's who aren't as successful.

    #52

    I think one overlooked example of toxic feminity is women not acknowledging female privilege. For instance, I brought up the fact that in court proceedings mothers for one reason or another, women tend to win custody hearings to an ex-friend. My friend focused on the fact that men often choose to give up custody. However, she refused to see how this trend be influenced by the social structure and the perception of women being better parents or even women having the privilege of spending quality time with their children due to their societal expectations.

    For instance, imagine if custody hearings were decided solely on who could provide financially for children. In such a scenario, male privilege would rear its head as men, due to societal expectations, often spend more time at work increasing the odds of them getting paid more and having more opportunities for advancing. Thus, the societal gendered expectation would create a situation unfavorable for women.

    If our society was an equal one, men and women would have similar expectations as parents and there would likely be a 50/50 split over who got the children. We do not live in this society, so of course, men will not always be the chief caregiver in most cases, but this doesn't mean the father is unfit for primary custody.

    #53

    When in a relationship, not clearly communicating needs and getting upset when their partner is not a mind reader and expecting them to just "pick up on the vibe" or "should already know because it's obvious". I know because I used to do that. Ugh. Man or woman, we are responsible for taking care of ourselves and part of that means clearly stating our wants and needs to our partner, friends, family, whomever clearly and deliberately.

    #54

    The way that a majority of female managers treat their female staff.

    Thought I'd never say this but:

    #56

    Siding with the man against the woman even when he's a cheater or a predator.

    #57

    Demanding chivalry is toxic I think. Men shouldn't have to respect a woman just be she's a woman.

    #58

    I live with my mom and my sister. Both of them are feminists who think men are trash and say that men deserve to be bullied. Do I even have to explain.

    #59

    For starters, Just check Instagram and FDS. They shame and bully men and women they don't like. They pretend men aren't affected by the same things they complain about. It's like they believe the whole world revolves around them.

    #60

    Victim blaming other women.

    #61

    Yes toxic femininity is a thing, it’s the extreme negative behaviors that exclusively exist to females.

    Examples of toxic femininity

    1. Overbearing mother’s

    2. Narcissistic and extreme validation/attention seeking.

    #62

    Toxic feminism has been a huge deal in India actually. There's been a case recently where there was a taxi driver who did nothing wrong and was slapped by a lady again and again and he didn't raise a finger. Then there was this one where one girl simply used social media against a simple delivery guy on zomato for no reason other than wanting free food.

    #63

    If not a girl it's an abortion.

    #64

    Having a child or marriage to keep a guy just because you’re afraid of being alone or b/c all your girlfriends have done it is pretty toxic. Understandable but toxic.

  • Monday 24 August 2026 - 05:00

    A lot of our current world is about extremes and superlatives. We want things to be the best, the funniest; we want the fastest delivery, the lowest prices. Even Mother Nature seems to be getting in on the game with the scorching heat it’s been serving us this entire summer.

    But what if you want just a little bit of something? You want some interesting facts, but it’s okay if they’re only mildly interesting. Same with pictures — maybe you want a chuckle or two, but you wish to be only mildly amused. Well, look no further — Bored Panda is fulfilling your wish with a selection of pictures from the “Mildly Amusing” and “Mildly Satisfying” subreddits. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy some mellow humor for a few minutes.

    It’s practically the stuff of teenage dreams: your high school sweetheart goes on to become a superstar. Or maybe you have a run-in with someone who’s already on their way to becoming famous and, somehow, they pick you.

    It’s something some folks over on Reddit wondered about, asking others what it was like to date someone famous—or someone who would eventually become famous. What was it like? How did it end? And are they still in touch? The answers range from sweet to messy to downright unbelievable, and while “dating” might be used a little loosely in some of them, they’re pretty entertaining—whether you’ve always dreamed of joining your celeb crush on the red carpet or can’t imagine anything worse than that kind of spotlight.

    #1

    I dated Chester Bennington (lead singer of Linkin Park) for about 10 months just whilst they were starting to become big/tour regionally. Great guy but him being away so often meant it could never really last. I tried so hard and got so far, but I guess in the end it doesn't even matter - I'm happily married now with 2 beautiful kids.

    I was engaged to Rickey Medlocke lead guitarist from Lynyrd Skynyrd previously lead singer of Blackfoot. It was probably the best five years of my life!

    Was able to attend the 2005 Grammys, walked the red carpet. Met some amazing people.... Hung out with Billy Bob Thornton (who is so down to earth and personable) ZZ TOP, Ted Nugent, Keith Urban (one of my favorite musicians so talented). I had the pleasure of being part of the Skynyrd family for many years which was a treat in itself.

    Billy Powell was the sweetest man.... It broke my heart when he passed. I remember Gary Rossington telling me a story regarding the plane crash.... He remembered coming to with a piece of the wing on top of him. He was crying out for help when he said Ronnie walked up and told him to calm down that he was going to help him and proceeded to lift the wing off.

    Gary said he passed out and woke up in the hospital wanting to know how Ronnie was. Apparently Ronnie had di*d instantly. Instant chill bumps.

    As for the relationship: I was so lonely at times since he was touring almost all the time. I went on the road as much as possible but I had kids and a job so it wasn't always feasible for me. I broke up with him :( He truly was an amazing man and for once in my life I "felt" loved. I had some friends who introduced him to the back up singer for kid rock Stacy Michelle. Apparently he didn't take the break up well but him and Stacy are a much better fit and are still together to this day.

    Since there are so many comments this most likely won't be seen, but I'll tell it anyway.

    My cousin dated Emma Stone right before she got really big. He even brought her to meet my grandmaw and his family. This was while he worked on The Help as a directors assistant. Proof. He has loads of pictures with her. He was also an extra in the movie which was really cool.

    “The fame thing isn’t really real, you know. And don’t forget... I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Any ’90s rom-com fan will know the reference: it’s the iconic declaration movie star Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) makes to bookstore owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) in the 1999 film Notting Hill.

    Even if you haven’t seen it, you’re probably familiar with the trope. It’s practically a rom-com sub-genre by this point: a famous person and an ordinary person fall in love, and their relationship is anything but easy.

    I dated Kristen Bell. She was just as cute back then as she is now. She is a great person. Things ended on her terms. I would have married her and only dated her for about a month. We went out a couple times, made out and such but didn't go too far.

    I have a friend who claims (with some validity) to have dated Taylor Swift for 2 weeks in the 8th grade.

    We tend to assume he is the subject of all of her breakup songs and blame him for her roller coaster love life.

    I dated an NHL player.
    It was fun/weird. I was 21 and he was in his late twenties, seemingly happy to have a young girl to spoil. Going out was a lot of fun, but as you may guess about professional athletes, he wasn't confident about himself at all and the cockiness was over compensation for low self esteem.

    He also wanted me to call him daddy in the bedroom; I obliged.

    We’ve seen it play out in countless movies over the years. As Olivia Singh writes for Business Insider, “The dynamic usually follows a familiar arc. First, the normie is dazzled by the celebrity and their fame. Then, outside forces like the paparazzi or fans threaten to derail the relationship.”

    Versions of this story have played out in real life, too. But while love usually prevails in movies “because rom-coms need happy endings,” Singh explains, some of the most famous real-life examples remind us that these seemingly fairy-tale romances don’t always come with a happily ever after.

    #7

    Not really "dating" but hooked up with Stephen Glover aka steve-o for a while when Jacka*s was first starting (i know it's gross ok). He didn't really have any money then and he was in between Florida and LA and needed a place to stay from time-to-time. He was very full of himself and we stopped talking after threw a chair out of my kitchen window. Good to see that he cleaned himself up though.

    But that hasn’t stopped us from being fascinated by them. In March 2026, for example, Ryan Murphy’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette became FX’s most-watched limited series ever on Hulu and Disney+.

    Based on Elizabeth Beller’s Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the series revisits what Vogue’s Olivia Petter calls “the intoxicating relationship between two of America’s most beautiful—and famously doomed—people.” In doing so, it chronicles Bessette’s path from a private citizen working with VIP clients at Calvin Klein to the wife of a former president’s son.

    I dated Mireille Enos back in high school. She was set on being an actress even back then. I am happy for her and her success, plus she's married to Alan Ruck (aka Cameron from Ferris Bueller) which is awesome and they just had their second beautiful child. She was and is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.

    I speak to her once in a great while when she comes back home to see her family. I did get to have dinner with her and her husband many years ago as we are still family friends with her family here. Great time.

    Not going to say her name, but in high school I dated a girl who is now a pretty popular guitarist/singer. She was beautiful (and still is), kind, and all around awesome. The problem was, she was a d*e hard Christian, and when I came out as atheist to her, she broke up with me. I understand it though. She was fine with having s*x though, but admitted that she faked her orgasms with me because she didn't want to disobey god :/ I still don't really get it.

    edit: she's popular, but not nearly as popular as some of the guesses you guys have made. she's no real superstar, yet at least.

    Yay! I got one!

    My aunt dated Montell Jordan for a long time until he cheated on her and left her. Hes currently married to that woman. She went all s******l after that for awhile but she did get a kid out of it...not sure if it's his but he kinda looks like him.

    Anyway, she moved back to her home state, got a house built for her and her son. She's still single and doing well!

    As Sarah Hunter Simanson writes for HuffPost, the series aims to “show how complex a figure Carolyn was” and explore “how the complicated love between the two unraveled under the pressure of the paparazzi and the expectation of being a Kennedy.”

    That tension is highlighted across several episodes. In one, a colleague of Bessette’s explains, “She knows if she marries him, that will be her defining characteristic. It will be like she never existed before she met him.” In another, Carolyn says that she chose John “in spite of his life”—a line that gets at the complicated reality of falling for someone whose fame comes with a life of its own. Or, as Simanson puts it, “the tension that exists between choosing a person and choosing the life that comes with them.”

    I f****d a now fairly well-know (in Ohio, at least) newsperson when we were in college on the regular. Wouldn't really say we dated, but we hooked up a lot over the course of a few months.

    Ended fine. She was fun and very career driven and focused. We just sort of stopped hooking up. For a while when I'd see her on billboards it was fun to tell people I hit that.

    D**n! Too late for this one but my mom dated Louis C.K. back in high school. Said he was a bit awkward, nice guy. Funny enough, took her to a comedy club on both dates. Tried to win her back later on by baking her a pie, didn't work though I guess.

    My dad went to high school and wrestled with Axl Rose. I wouldn't consider that dating but there was a lot of touching and hugging.

    Watching the series unfold, it’s hard not to wonder how different Carolyn’s life might have looked if she hadn’t chosen John “in spite of his life.” And perhaps that same curiosity—about what could have been—helps explain our fascination with people who have had their own brushes with celebrity romance.

    Sure, we like hearing unfiltered stories about what famous people are really like IRL. There’s something irresistible about getting the inside scoop from people who knew them intimately—stories that can feel far more revealing than any glossy tabloid account. For some, there may also be an aspirational element to hearing from ordinary people who crossed paths with someone famous—or someone about to be famous—and fell for them (or came tantalizingly close to doing so). But sometimes, the more intriguing part is imagining how different both their lives might have looked if things had turned out differently.

    Teri Hatcher hit on me while I was delivering some legal documents to an office on the Universal Studios lot in LA. She totally did the double take thing and said "hey" as I walked by. I just ignored it, cause I'm gay and I was weirded out (but flattered). A few years later, I saw that she was dating Ryan Seacrest so I guess she has a thing for gay guys.

    I had a thing with an NBA player. He was totally normal really, despite him being a big name. It was mostly a casual thing. We met at a bar and I was the only girl not trying to climb all over him so we ended up talking about our favorite Fantasy Football players (he hooked me up with some great tips for my team). Eventually he just turned into a superstar so we don't really talk anymore- but there's no ill will. His name sounds like dessert. Always made me hungry.

    Admittedly not answering the question, but tangentially interesting story...

    My roommate from college's mom dated a guy who was a musician, and dumped him for the guy who she eventually married (my roommate's dad). The musician she dumped wrote a song about it.

    Her name is Marianne. The song is "More Than a Feeling" by Boston.

    She said he was a good guy, but felt at the time he was pursuing an unrealistic dream of being a musician.

    I dated Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) for about 10 months in 2005. He was living with his mother in Niagara Falls at the time, waiting for his visa to be approved so he could move back to California. He had already travelled through Europe at that point and was famous there, but not yet in North America. He didn't drive, so I always did lol. Great times. One of the most intelligent guys I've ever met. Even though he comes off as an a*****e, he's a straightforward guy.

    My stepdad's cousin dated Woody Harrelson in college. He pursued her for two months, following her to classes, leaving weird notes on her dorm hall corkboard, and calling her every day with Bible quotes. She finally went out with him, and ended up taking him to Thanksgiving with her family. Her dad thought he was "a no good piece of s**t slacker". They broke up just before Christmas; they were both cheating on each other by then anyway.

    EDIT: Now that I've read the infamous AMA, it rings a few bells. Apparently Woody didn't like to talk about things he didn't bring up himself, most especially his family and his dating history.

    Dated Gabbie from the "GabbieShow" and SoFlo on Facebook/vine when we worked for a marketing company called smart circle. Shes got a big a*s and a big crazy ego to go with it. Good luck to anyone hittin that. She ended up f*****g my buddy because he payed "more attention" to her LOL.

    Edit: No I do not have contact with her anymore, no I do not have her number. I didn't even get a reply back to me congratulating her on her new found success a couple years ago. There's that ego for ya.

    Edit 2: We worked in a Sam's club together, I pushed DirecTV like it was crystal m**h at the time and she sold a different emerging product each month, both for a company called Smart Circle, and she was actually a good salesman and was very personable.

    Minor celeb, but her band's been on MTV. We dated for a month or so, but we just didn't connect personality wise or see each other much with different schedules.

    My time to shine!

    I went spent some time with the One True God himself. Yes, Nic Cage. We spent an evening together (not a night, I declined) and he asked me out the next day. This was right after his split with Lisa Marie Presley. We kissed and talked. He is actually a really fascinating person.

    And, yes, I get endless s**t about this from my younger friends. But, whatever, he was hot and I had a crush on him before we met.

    #32

    I've dated two, one went on to be a musician, and one a prominent radio personality.

    The musician was a fling, lasted a few months and we mutually parted ways on friendly terms. He was very funny and competitive in bizarre and creative ways. He later went to Berkley School of music and now he and his band tours the U.S. and Canada last I heard. His music is good but I don't listen to it because, I dunno, it feels awkward?

    The other one was a local radio DJ who did a top-40/rap station here, but his real passion was the band Pearl Jam, he f*****g LOVES that band. He was very cerebral, and we had lots of philosophical discussions. He had me do radio spots (commercials, etc) because he said I had a good voice for it. I later ended up doing things for other stations after we broke up. He broke up with me because I was 19 and he was 28. I was still living at home then. He now hosts a popular radio show in Los Angeles.

    Both are still good people, neither have become jaded, washed-up a******s, or so the grapevine says here.

    I am now happily married to a non-celebrity.

    My Girl Scout troop leader dated Johnny Depp in high school, if remember correctly. I doubt they dated long; she said he was strange. She had pictures of them together and year books and junk. We all thought it was so awesome and were wondering which kid in our elementary school was destined for fame.

    She canceled our meeting one week to go to his wedding. She was cool.

    Got a novelty kiss out of Zooey Deschanel when I worked with her on set once. Like, I got the whole staff joking about how romantic it would be for the lighting assistant to kiss her. I made it a running joke. It got around to the whole cast and even the interns. On the second to last day, I got the kiss. You could say we're pretty serious I guess.

    Playing the long game, guys. It works.

    I once shook hands with Adam Baldwin. He sorta grabbed my hand funny so i ended up giving him a really weak handshake, after our interaction i said " hey sorry bout the weak handshake, you sorta grabbed me funny" and he looks me in the eye, puts out his hand and says "try again". i grabbed that mans hand like my life depended on it, we shared a stern look and i went on my way.

    I met a girl that dated the lead singer for modest mouse when they were still a college band (though still regionally famous). We started chatting online after we met. Got super close.

    Dated a ridiculously hot (and rich) Korean girl from LA that was in law school with me. She hooked up with Christiano Ronaldo and went on a few dates with him a few years before we dated. If I remember she said he really wasnt that good looking and she had no idea who he was at first - all of her friends were completely freaking out and she was just telling him to back off. She said his hair was ridiculously greasy - she wasn't a fan. Also, Jim Carrey apparently tried to hit on her and she said he's the creepiest freaking dude ever. The latter one I believe for sure, think I've read several times that Jim Carrey creepily hits on hot asian girls quite a bit?

    Being eskimo brothers would Christiano Ronaldo wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.

    Olivia O'Brien, who wrote "I Hate U I Love U" went to my high school. She was a year below me, but we were super close friends. One day, however, we were hanging out alone on a road in Napa and one thing lead to another, and we made out in my car. The next day, I was hanging out with a different girl who liked me and we, well, did it. So me and girl number two ended up dating. Olivia was heartbroken, and actually wrote her first version of "I Hate U I Love U" (the original is still on her SoundCloud profile, honestly really good looking back on it.) Thing is, Olivia is crazy, and can be a huge b***h if you get on her bad side. She made my life living hell with my girlfriend, and was one of the reasons we broke up in the long run. Eventually, her and this Gnash dude meet up and do the collaboration for SoundCloud that now has a few million listens or something. She was a little bit of a local celebrity but hadn't blown up outside of our town yet. Her and I actually made up, but she left our school and now lives in LA recording new music and I haven't heard from her in a long time. The thing is, she was such a sweet girl and I feel horrible for playing her the way I did, but she's still super crazy. Either way, she's famous now, and I'm studying in college. She's successful in her way, but I wanna be successful in my own. How I hurt her in the past and where she ended up because of it inspires me to be a better person and to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Met a guy in an up and coming band first year of college. On and off for years bc I didn't want to date a guy in a band, plus he had dropped out of college to pursue his career and that seemed short sighted to me. Fast forward a couple years his band is winning VMAs. Fast forward a couple more there are very public issues. Fast forward a few silent years and they're bigger than they ever were. Still the same sweet generous loving man I met we just now have a bigger, better, more blessed life than I knew was even possible when we first met. Entertainment industry is super weird and fickle. There are times I wish I married an accountant, teacher or lawyer for the stability but I honestly wouldn't change it for the world. At this point the craziness is all we know.

    Wasn't me, but my dad went to high school with Ricki Lake. They messed a round a bit according to him, he also broke her nose in gym class while spiking a volleyball, so I'm sure it didn't go that far.

    I met a girl in on the late 80's. We lived in Texas. She was 16 and wanted to be an actress, I was 18 and had no ambition. We dated for a few years. She was discovered by playboy magazine during a spring break trip shortly after turning 18. We moved to LA and she was in almost every face soap, tampon commercial. She did a few tv shows and starred in one teen movie. We broke up when she decided she liked long haired guitar players. We remained very good friends for years after the breakup. She got married and divorced to a different guy. He and I are best friends and neither of us speak to her anymore. Last I heard she was living in a s****y apartment and still trying to get famous. She made a lot of money for a few years in the mid 90's but she's past her prime now.

    My mom dated slash in high school. Before she passed away she joked with me and tells me " d**n, why couldent he be the father". I laughed so hard when she said this. She was also friends with Mikey from OCC.

    I wish I had more to this story, but, I met katy perry back when I was a touring musician and she was a solo act, and she told me I was really cute and we drank all night and I wussed out of doing the deed because I had a f*****g s****y girlfriend back home. Years of regret, and unrelented taunting from coworkers.

    This is going to buried for sure, but I currently date a guy who is a drummer for a major band out of Boston, has a Billboard Award and an international hit song.

    Its...interesting. We've been together for two years and for the most part it is a pretty easy relationship. He and I are both homebodies and he's not very social (after shows he usually hides in the backstage area), but we both enjoy road trips and that is where we spend our money (or video games and music equipment (thats more him)). I do very well being alone so when he's on tour for weeks I am okay; of course I miss him, but I'm able to cope, and he does his best to always keep me in the loop or let me know he's thinking about me.

    One negative is planning anything with him is almost impossible. He rarely knows where he is going to be or if a show will pop up, if he has to take a last minute flight to LA or NY, or what have you. I am very much a planner, and he will usually tentatively agree with things, which is nice.

    All in all it is a pretty typical relationship with the perk of awesome backstage access.

    When I was 13 I kissed 17 year-old Mary Kate LeTourneu (Schmidt). I wish I knew.

    A few years ago I f****d a then-rookie NFL player who now starts for a fairly impressive AFC team. To me, the s*x was nothing special and I chalked it up to another kind of cool f*****g story. He must have felt otherwise because I spent the next few months avoiding his calls and texts.

    Yes, I now realize that if I would have accepted his advances I would not be living in the s**t hole apartment that I am currently typing this from. But, I realized something more important back then...even 300+ lb. linebackers can have very, very, tiny d***s.

    Aunt was engaged to Steve Madden. She ended it and actually managed to marry up financially. Married a billionaire...it's ridiculous how much money her husband makes.
