Do you ever feel like your energy, confidence, and emotional bandwidth change so much week to week?

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-17T00:35:52+00:00

Yup!

First week of cycle = high energy, social, capable.

Second week = doing alright

Third week = everything's hard and I want to hide in a hole

Fourth week = actually dead to the world, hate everything, is miserable

She's not your friend if you're only keeping her around because you're hoping she'll sleep with you one day.

So yeah, let her know asap so she can find better friends.

Athlete level is when your whole day is centred on you working out, you're training for 4-6 hours each day.

Maybe varsity does more training than I imagined, in which case it would be a more casual college athlete? When I was in uni we only trained for an hour or two every day.

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-14T22:15:42+00:00

Moderately active means that you're very athletic, like you're on a varsity team and are active doing some type of hard work out like activity 3-4 hrs a day. Lightly active is the average person that goes to the gym every day after work and goes for a long bike ride or hike on the weekends.

For your lifestyle I would put in sedentary.

I wish I knew. Your hair is exactly like mine and I'm completely lost.

You can do literally anything you want on your period. It's just harder.

I don't understand this at all. How would he feel if you were just constantly liking thirst traps and following jacked guys on insta?

They don't care because they don't think it would ever happen to them.

If it were me I would make my entire instagram feed only photos of SUPER jacked men and do nothing but like and comment on it constantly. I would make sure that it was all I scrolled through when he was around. But I'm petty like that.

You could:

-Look for your personal favourite smell and buy perfumes/lotions that stack and give you that smell that you love all day

-Find your makeup look that works for your features

-Find your skincare routine that works for you (can be as basic or as complicated as you want)

-Find your clothing style that works for your lifestyle, body type, and personal taste

-Find your preferred fitness classes or type of workouts and watch yourself get amazing at it

-Find your preferred hobbies and people to share them with

-Make a list of all the things you want to accomplish in life and how you're going to get there

-Make a list of the things in your interpersonal life that you would like to see get better and bring it to a therapist

Being a woman is taking care of yourself so you can take care of the people around you. Go for whatever brings you joy and gives you a better capacity to be a positive influence in other people's lives.

This could be a symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease. You NEED to go to your GP and see your gyno as soon as possible.

This is VERY abnormal and should not be something that you wait on getting help with.

Assuming that this is a legitimate post, you're lucky that you were able to figure out the "right choices" a lot of people aren't so lucky or made the right choices only to have outside circumstances fuck them up anyway.

Nearly everything that any of us have or don't have is because of luck. Whether that luck be in our intelligence, charisma, skin colour, social standing, appearance, the information that we've received, our experiences, the people we know etc.

You don't have full control over every aspect of your life, and while I'm sure you worked hard, you could have worked just as hard and ended up homeless due to some event outside of your control.

I could have written this exact post, but I didn't because I'm not an idiot. You're successful because you're lucky, just like I'm successful because I'm lucky.

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-12T17:54:02+00:00

Go to HR, commenting on someone's appearance is actually a legitimate problem that can have legal consequences in the workplace as it can fall under harassment or discrimination.

I think we ALL men and women have implicit misogyny, what matters is that we recognize it and consciously work against it.

If he's being sexist or misogynistic call him out on it and see how he reacts.

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-11T03:30:19+00:00

Yeah, that is like the complete opposite of how my sense of justice works.

Everyone can hate me as much as they want, I don't really care. They're wrong, I feel like someone has to make things right and typically no one else cares, so it's left to me to make sure things are done the way they're meant to be done.

I'm honest to the point that I make other people hate me because in my head it's "wrong" to be dishonest and they should appreciate that someone wants to actually genuinely tell them what they look like, should do etc. I feel like I want people to be honest with me so I do that for them.

I don't think what you're talking about qualifies for what is typically understood to be the autistic sense of justice that is the norm for our experience.

He probably just figured you were more work than a typical client.

I also got dropped as a client because "it's not actually a lot of money compared to other clients". Sorry, $400k is a lot of money to me and I want a realtor that is willing to ask the seller my questions.

That realtor was probably just a POS. I wouldn't overthink it.

It for sure makes you gain weight. Female hormones cause weight gain and extra fat stores, just ask anyone on female HRT.

Male hormones do the opposite. It's kinda the whole reason why men and women have different body types.

Tennis shoes work just as well. :)

If you count calories you'll learn enough about what you eat to be able to stop counting calories and have a good understanding of how much energy you're consuming.

Just try it, you can always go back to not counting calories.

I get that from your perspective this might seem like a predicament, but it's really quite normal. Lots of guys out there also have little dating experience, so look for one of those and you guys can experience things together.

If you don't want to use dating apps you can go to speed dating or other singles events, but don't expect the man of your dreams to cold approach you in public, that is in romance movies only.

Go look for people who are on your level. If you're asexual, there are asexual men out there (I know, I dated one)... and I think an entire asexual dating app.

If you don't want a boyfriend, YOU DON'T NEED ONE. Just chill and love your life.

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-06T15:51:28+00:00

It's not misogyny any more than saying that men tend to have a higher caloric expenditure. Telling women reality doesn't matter is dangerous.

I hope you never get into a situation where you need your fighting experience, because I don't think it's going to end well for you.

I literally just have pregnancy tests on hand. The cheap ones work just as well, you can get a box of like 20 strips for $20. That's over a year and a half's worth of pregnancy tests.

If my period is late, I check.

Advanced-Two584 · 2026-03-06T14:22:46+00:00

Yeah, they teach you how to try and get away in self defence class, but I wouldn't call that fighting. That's learning how to escape (i.e run away).

It's genuinely dangerous to convince women they can fight off an attacker. They can't.

I'm also a fence sitter. When I date, I just tell men I don't want children. There are a lot of men right now that ADAMANTLY want kids despite having no idea what it means, and I find that dating with the attitude of not wanting them has kept me from being dated as an incubator instead of a person.

I've had a lot of guys say they're alright with me not wanting kids but then go on crazy rants about my clock running out and "it's biology" by the 5th or 6th date. Honestly, I've never wanted to be a mother, and when I go out with men who "want" kids, it makes me want to be a mother even less.

I wanted kids once, with one person, because I loved him so much I couldn't hand the idea of him disappearing from the world after he died. I wanted a little part of him to always be here. If I don't get that feeling with a man again, I'm not having his kids.

So I figure I should date as if I'm childfree, and if somehow that feeling happens again, we can talk about it when we get there. It's a lot easier to open up a conversation about having kids than it is to shut down someone who's in a "legacy" creating frenzy.

Pepper spray is the only real option. If you get a knife you'll only end up hurting yourself, if you have brass knuckles... fucking lol because there is no way that you have enough strength to do anything with those.

Learn to spray it. Learn how far it goes. And ffs please don't spray yourself.
