    Yo, maybe this is just me, but if a dude is so shallow and unstable that a cactus makes him leave then I'd rather be alone.

    Fuck anyone that thinks Prickle Paul is unwelcoming.

          Well, sounds very professional to me, I think you should make it your grift too.
          You totally got what it takes.

      Maybe because of the rigid ideas of what is and isn't OK for women to have, and for what men like? I wouldn't be surprised if the women in this article also had rigid ideas about who is or isn't a woman.

    If I were to critique anything about that apartment it is that it looks really strange to have the same wallpaper in a picture as the wall has.

    Later I find myself telling her that the Japanese wall-hanging came from a female friend who sadly isn’t a friend any more. ‘So why is it in your house?’ she asks me with a glint. ‘Every time you see it, it’s bringing you down subconsciously.’ Then a killer question: ‘Is it also in your friend’s interest that you remain single?’ I gulp. Possibly. She’s happily married; while I had the role of the jolly single friend.

    Hey, thanks for planting this bitchy, suspicious idea in my head, "therapist!" I feel much more able to go about my life with healthy attitudes towards people!

    Why are people like this? Like, OK, maybe the wall hanging of a single woman is part of a sinister plot to keep a friend single . . . or maybe she noticed that her friend likes images of women, saw a unique piece that fit that aesthetic, and since she knew her friend well, thought she would like it? No, no, it must be the sinister one. Knowing a friend's taste and buying something you think they'd like? Nah!

    ‘The bedroom isn’t a good place for books. Bedrooms should be about sleep and love,’ she says. She also recommends replacing the bed and sheets after a break-up.

    I know for a fact this is wrong because 90% of the people you'll sleep with in college will have that same little Buddha statue sitting next to their bong.

    "Cactus: Unwelcoming" sounds like an AI generated action movie title

      I'd watch an action movie about a grumpy cactus outlaw that moves to a new town only to discover that his welcoming party is actually a set up by a rival gang that wants to kill him.

    Is your home a bearrepeller? Here are some quick tips for making sure your interior design is not putting off potential bears.

    • Bear traps. A big one here. Bear traps indicate to a bear that you may wish to trap it in place and kill it. This can be offputting for bears. See also large calliber hunting rifles.

    • Bearskin hats. This may be a pleasent reminder of your time in a Napoleonic era army, but for a bear it's a subconscious reminder of violence people have perpetuated against bearkind.

    • Bear mace. Nothing is more offputting for a bear than being confronted with aerasolized capsicun.

    • A bed. Bears much prefer a secluded, dry cave to hibernate in.

    • Tinned salmon. Bears love salmon but sadly their forepaws lack the dexterity needed to operate can openers, causing no end of frustration. Consider instead installing a freshwater stream.

    So I need to get more pictures of women, Buddha statues, and cactus to repel all the men and bring more women in? I have shopping to do!
