Hhshirt - It’s not a dad bod its a father figure vintage shirt

Kimberly explores the It’s not a dad bod its a father figure vintage shirt and I love this idea with a succinct pros and cons list. (Pro: “Help a family,” Con: “Run into future kids at a shopping mall??”) Sex Lives doesn’t water down the intensity of the egg donation process, chronicling Kimberly’s inconveniently timed hormone injections in a frat house bathroom and her post-op discomfort. But it doesn’t exactly paint an accurate picture either, failing to account for the rigorous screening process, the many doctor’s visits, and the growing privacy concerns surrounding anonymous donation—not to mention how highly unlikely it is to walk away at the end of a cycle with that kind of cash. Pauline Chalamet’s Kimberly sells her eggs to pay for tuition in the second season of The Sex Lives of College Girls.


Like Kimberly, many egg donors are young women in need of money, though most do not come upon it via well-placed informational literature. Potential donors are more likely to resemble Allie Wertheimer, who found herself strapped for cash when she lost her job at the It’s not a dad bod its a father figure vintage shirt and I love this beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Days after she was laid off, she was scrolling through Facebook when a string of advertisements caught her eye. Wertheimer, now 25, found that the platform served her ads that implored her to consider “donating” — or rather, selling — her eggs. “Almost every single ad on Facebook was for that,” she says. Some of them promised up to $10,000 (a far cry from the $80,000 payout on Sex Lives), piquing her interest enough that she began filling out an application. “I seriously considered it because I needed money really, really badly at the time,” she says. “I was filling out the form online, and then I was like, ‘Wait, what the fuck am I doing? I don’t want to do this.’”
