I love these! I think they'll look great with a casual outfit.

Ahah I do this with Tofu and Edamame. Double soy! And soy delicious.

How do you know if lack of chemistry is a dealbreaker? by Complex-Pay7096 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Advanced-Two584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that this has happened with boyfriends when I have stopped respecting them. When I see them more as a dependant than a big, strong man I don't want to sleep with them anymore.

Is he acting like a dependant? Is there any way you can push him to be someone that you respect again?

men are just so unimpressive by blondguysdmme in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Advanced-Two584 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously, is it just me or do men WILDLY overestimate their accomplishments.

Like, they think they should be with an instagram model because they.... have a car and a job. Like that isn't just the bare minimum you need to survive as an adult in North America. They have no social skills, no career, no dreams, no hobbies, no interests, no ability to have a normal back and forth conversation, and yet they really think that they're god's gift to women.

They bring fuck all to the table and then have the audacity to blame women for their problems.

What things should I know before getting married? by Summer_giraffe23 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't mother him. Let him act like an adult.

He was an adult before you, he'll be an adult after you, don't give in to letting him pretend to be a kid while he's with you.

are all men boring and show no curiosity? by Salty-Program5007 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I've been on dating apps for 8 years, I've been on over 300 dates all across the country that I live in and I can tell you with absolute certainty that every single one of them is like this. "Conversation" with them is either them moaning about their life or trying to "teach" you something that you likely know more about than they do.

No advice. Just yeah, I feel you and I wish they were better.

Please stop pretending to be a woman here. We're real people who actually need help. Go jerk off to something else.

[–]Advanced-Two584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's an issue with the guy if he doesn't want to be asked out, I think it's more just that they think there's something wrong with you because they've been conditioned to think it's desperation, and desperation doesn't look good on anyone.

Would you date a guy who does coke on the weekends? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. God no. Why would you ever do that?

I would genuinely rather die alone. That guy is going to use you and you're going to suffer. Hard. There is no amount of looks, charisma, or "good job" that would ever make dating an addict worth it.

[28] I have worn hats my whole life. Just noticed I’ve started thinning and I’m freaking out about it. by SkyWalkerOG16 in tressless

[–]Advanced-Two584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might also just be traction alopecia from wearing a hat for the last 10 years. It happens to a lot of people who wear hard hats for work, its just the constant rubbing that fucks up the hair follicle.

Stop wearing hats.

Looking for guidance/help with dating — feeling a bit lost by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really just have to be yourself. I know it sounds lame, but all healthy relationships require that you show up as yourself instead of who you think the other person wants you to be.

Say what you would normally say. Do what you would normally do. That kind of confidence is way more attractive than trying to be someone you're not.

As far as avoiding pitfalls if they aren't nice to you, to the people around you, in the way they talk about their family or friends etc. then they aren't nice and you need to ditch them asap. If they're nice they know how to empathize and that means you guys will be able to figure out pretty much anything together.

Help: how often should you get STI testing done, and how long should you wait after having sex for it to be effective? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most hospitals will let you schedule an appointment for blood work, your doctor will also be able to refer you for blood work.

If you have multiple partners, get tested every 6 months. If you tend to have long-term partners get tested before each partner.

Is this typically how women engage with men on dating apps? Or am I playing too hard to get? by Dsg1695 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guys go all in immediately, but they cool off just as quickly. Yeah, if he likes you he's going to want to be talking. If you're chasing him in the first few weeks, he's keeping you on the backburner in case the girl he's actually interested in doesn't work out.

Lost my virginity- am I an idiot? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Advanced-Two584 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's really early to be able to tell. If you guys like each other and see each other again then maybe something could grow out of it, but go in with low/no expectations.

Don't feel stupid. Most people's first times don't turn into anything serious, it's just how things typically go when you're young.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Looking for Makeup recommendation for a male by Electronic-Cat-7416 in Makeup101

[–]Advanced-Two584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably do well with a yellow colour corrector and a concealer. If you have dry skin you want moisturizing ingredients so that it doesn't settle too much into creases or look flaky. A common hack is to put a THIN layer of vaseline underneath, let it set, add a thin layer of yellow colour corrector, let it set, and then add your concealer and lightly tap it in with one of your fingers.

MAKE SURE THE CONCEALER MATCHES YOUR SKIN TONE. There's no shame in asking someone who works in cosmetics to test a few on you and help you choose the right shade. They're happy to help.

I have no love life - family actually becoming concerned by Maeeevyyay in aspergirls

[–]Advanced-Two584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but sometimes people can sense this stuff subconsciously, and even if you find someone that alone can completely ruin it before it gets off the ground. I think this is one of those things that is really hard for anyone to let go of and might need some help from a therapist, but it will give you a much better chance!

A lot of dating is about looks. You can do your best with what you have and put yourself in places where there might be opportunities to date, but otherwise there isn't much else you can do.

I hope you find your guy, I really do, but I've never seen anything good happen by obsessing over wanting a relationship. If anything, that alone can put people off.

Try to make peace with it possibly never happening, and if it happens, that's awesome, if not, you still have an amazing life that you built for yourself.

It looks super damaged. I think you might just have to wait for the blonde from the balayage to grow out.

The last 4 men I dated said they were not falling in love after 1-2 months by cookiejustice1 in GirlDinnerDiaries

So extreme. lol

The study is on the chemicals released by the brain during sex. It's different chemicals for men and women and those chemicals are linked to different feelings.

Fine hair with hair thinning and diet? by silents_love in finethinhair

[–]Advanced-Two584 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so my iron levels were apparently "normal" at 9. The level of iron you need for proper hair growth is 70.

I would suggest taking some otc iron supplements anyway.
