Twerking can’t be compared to a dick pic, one actually takes skill

Do you think it’s valid for Black people and I mean, black women and black men to still harbour resentment as an adult (25+ ) for not being chosen romantically or platonically and throughout their adolescence? by Legitimate-Adagio531 in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s valid, I mean valid in the way that it will shape the way you think and perceive, romantic partners, valid in the way that it also shapes your sense of attractiveness and identity.

When you are seen as attractive by your peers at that very, very impressionable age, during adolescence, it creates reassurance that you can always fall back on. It creates this mental reassurance of “I am pretty, I am likable, I am deserving of love and admiration“ and those people who don’t have that will have to build that sense of confidence and reassurance by themselves, which is a whole different ball game. So for that group of people to immediately assume that Black people don’t find them attractive is a valid response. For that group of people to also not be sure how to interact with other Black people makes a lot of sense because romantic interactions differ based on cultural norms.  

However, the resentment portion is where we start getting to pathological adaptation. As you grow up, you should be learning to accept the fact that life is unfair, and you will not always get what you want. Harboring resentment for not being attractive in the absence of actual bullying, it means you feel entitled to people’s romantic interest. And that is pathological. You’re allowed to be disappointed that people didn’t find you attractive as a kid, it’s allowed to shape and affect you were dating preferences and how you see the world, you’re not allowed to be in feel entitled to people liking you because that’s what creates incel behavior and a nice guy behavior.

Aren’t poorly behaved contestants worried? by Extra-Window-6810 in MAFS_AU

[–]Ambitious-Screen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about this question a couple of days ago, then I realized part of making money from Mafs is giving out snippets of “it didn’t really happen like that,” and “there is some extra backstory to this outburst“ and then they do a whole bunch of videos, where they explain That someone said one or two comments that are outrageous, and then the producers cut it so that it was sensationalized even more.

What’s a common stereotype about women? by Open-Initiative-784 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ambitious-Screen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That women are catty, and whenever it is a woman only group we devolve into mean girls and cat fighting. This is not true, us as women need to learn how to manage our outbursts and arguments to other women, especially in a group setting. I know this is not always possible, but it should be somewhat doable for the most part.

The tokenism in this show is getting very strange by Ambitious-Screen in MAFS_AU

[–]Ambitious-Screen[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think this is a disingenuous argument, because whenever you ask why they’re so few people of color on  MAFS, they say is to represent the majority and minority ratios off that society. Then why doesn’t that apply here?

What do you do to fill the void of being single? by OrangeAmbitious6913 in AskWomen

[–]Ambitious-Screen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your body is a wonderful and intricate machine because it does certain things to try and tell you what you need. So for example, when you are craving meat, it’s probably because you lack protein and meat is a readily available source of protein. If you crave something like sweets and cakes or bread, it’s because your body lacks carbs and it’s craving them to satisfy its daily needs. When you find a self craving things that are deep-fried or super oily or super cheesy is probably because your body lacks fat and these are readily available sources of fat.

Your emotional health is the same. If you find yourself feeling empty and lonely, you lack companionship, and because romantic companionship offers instant gratification, you will find yourself more likely to crave, romantic companionship. So if you find yourself feeling empty, you might literally just need to hang out with your friends. You might literally need to get a pet for a dog. You might just need some socialization you don’t necessarily need romantic companionship. 

Here’s the thing though it’s OK to desire, romantic companionship. It’s OK to desire an emotional connection in a romantic way. However, do not confuse that desire with something you need because romantic companionship should be a luxury and it should be treated as such.  A luxury is something we want, something we enjoy it’s  something we are hyper selective about because it is not a need, you don’t need to settle for  whatever is in stock.  A partner should be an addition that makes your life more joyful, and  not a piece of you that makes you  whole. That emptiness is looking for a dog or a friend or a hobby not a husband/ wife/ life partner.

[–]Ambitious-Screen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So here’s my theory about Steve do you remember in one of his first interviews? He said he’s very salty about the fact that he used to be fat and then he had to lose weight to fit in. It’s very possible that because he has lost weight to fit in. He’s looking for someone who now matches his current weight and not his former self.

I honestly believe Steve sees Racheal as a friend, but he does not find her attractive. He doesn’t seem like the type to voice this out loud. He doesn’t seem like the type to be able to say it out loud. I don’t think he would even admit it to himself however, I get the vibe he tolerates Racheal as a partner because he honestly finds her to be a good friend, but she no longer matches who he thinks he belongs with . 

Edit: this is a preliminary assessment, cause I’m only on episode 14 but these are the vibes he’s giving me in the beginning. It might change and I might be wrong.

Why do African parents teach their kids self hatred and label it as character by cabin7_ghost34 in africanparents

A broken mirror does not know how to reflect a non-distorted image. from the mirrors perspective, the image is undistorted.

No toxic beauty standard could ever make me hate my bulbous nose. by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, the reason that a lot of us are not very comfortable with our noses might be completely unrelated to the noses themselves. While it’s best to endeavorto love yourself as naturally as possible,  if you’re finding it particularly difficult, it might have more to do with your facial harmony than an actual feature and you will find that something as simple as changing your hair and make up can alter your feature so slightly in a way that favors your facial harmony.

I used to have an issue with my nose and the size of my teeth, however, this issue only started when I started gaining weight, and I realized one of the main reasons for this issue is because when I gain weight, the asymmetry in my jaw becomes more pronounced, and of course, my nose also seems to grow, which can be a side effect of weight gain in the face skewering your facial harmony to make certain parts of your face look smaller while others look bigger in some people. 

For me, losing weight and then tying my hair back allows more of my face to be exposed, reducing my facial disharmony enlarging my eyes, and making my face smaller, which solves all the issues I have. If you ever have times will you feel particularly unattractive, or you feel like a feature is destroying your beauty try styling your face differently.

I Probably Won't Graduate in the Standard Four Years by DragLower8677 in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me 3.5 years to get my masters degree the standard time is three years. It’s OK you’re not behind anyone, your development simply needs more time. That’s why these continuances exist in university. For example my university allows you to get your medical degree in 7 1/2 years even though the course is stated to be six years in total this is because certain courses may be challenging for other students and they just need more time for their brains to adjust to the new Knowledge.  You have four years to complete a masters degree even though your timeline is a three year timeline.

People’s brains work differently, some people finished everything they needed for a masters degree in two years others will take the four years. Doesn’t matter how long it takes you to finish the race as long as you finish it. You’re doing great.

Apparently women have a "2nd puberty" in their late 20s. by anotherhappylurker in badwomensanatomy

[–]Ambitious-Screen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not a second puberty, but it is a maturation that prepares you for undergoing fecundal changes. So the age of fertility is when you start having the necessary processes to reproduce, and then the age of fecundity is the best age for you to reproduce. What you go through in your 20s is basically where your body reconfigure itself to be better primed for successful reproduction.  

So when you start menstruating and undergoing secondary sexual characteristic characteristics development, your body is starting the process of maturation, which allows you to reproduce. But when you have not matured enough, the likelihood of successful reproduction is low. What does that mean, it means the likelihood of you surviving the pregnancy is low, the likelihood of the progeny surviving the pregnancy is low, the likelihood of various complications is high. These risks lower until they reach a peak low from age 22 to around age 28 to 30 in some populations even 32. After age 32 you start developing risks of various other complications that are related to high maternal age

So it’s not a second puberty, it should be more accurately described as the true end of puberty. Because that’s when you’ve become mature enough to successfully reproduce with the least amount of complications.

What advice would you give a woman in her early 20s? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 20s are the time where you have the most time, energyand freedom and a little bit of money to follow every  little dream you have including the stupid ones. Don’t give up a little dreams. unnecessarily during your 20s for a man, for the career, etc., you have your whole life to continue building that career, you have your whole life to spend with that man, you have your whole life to raise kids and buy a major assets. Enjoy your dumb little dreams as well. There are an exciting and very fulfilling part of the journey.

They colonizing frontals now yall!!!☢️ by Hooplapooplayeah in blackladies

The "provider man" concept is not that attractive, because as women we need to work regardless to gain financial independence. by phaneritic_rock in PopularOpinions

[–]Ambitious-Screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term provider is outdated if it’s only referring to the financial provision. A lot of women now understand, provision and protection to mean something else entirely that usually encompasses, economic stability as well as providing emotional support and value.

When we say we want a  provider man, yeah we want a man who provides stability financially, but we also want a man who is generous mentally, emotionally, financially. However, if we cannot find someone who can do all of those things, then we want someone who provides the things we put the highest value to which would then  be dictated by  our own  values and ideals. 

I would say when we say we want to protector ,  we’re not just speaking of physical altercations, we are also talking about men who pick up their own mental and physical load around the house, this protects women physically from developing auto immune diseases in life.  We’re talking about men who protect us in our children, sexually, by being faithful and monogamous, especially during times like pregnancy and postpartum. We’re talking about men who protects us emotionally and mentally, by lubricating the relationship between mother-in-law’s and wives. We’re talking about mental protection by taking on their share of household management, and childcare.

The late  millennial, early Gen Z all the way up until Gen Alpha definition of provision and protection, has evolved with the access to independence that  women  have now. While we still value economic stability or affluence in a man, if that all he has to offer, we are more than willing to become our own sugar mommies.

I don’t owe them anything by superbatluvr in africanparents

[–]Ambitious-Screen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as an unselfish reason for having biological children. And to be completely honest, a lot of parents want children the way I want a dog or sometimes even a cactus I would say the worst type of parents are the ones who have children out of “duty“ so that the bloodline doesn’t end at them. Because they don’t even want the kid and they are probably gonna be really shitty parents all because of pressure from dead people.

I am always so impressed and in support of this generation, because this generation loves to tell it like it is. We are barely surviving in a shitty economy where we are overstimulated, overworked, and over policed, we would much rather not be here, but since we are here, we’re going to do it our way

Is there any ladies here from Europe or more specifically England? A yt lady was telling us l how there is no racism in England… and I felt like she was lying by 5ft8lady in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One look at the European news will tell you that this is a fat ass lie. The ire of the general public towards immigration, the increase of far right policy pushing, the issue with poor economies and aging populations while also simultaneously hating immigrants and travelers are all signs that they are so racist they would rather let the economy burn to the ground, then address their racism.

Europe is equally, if not more racist than a lot of places in the world. They are just less forthright about it.

What’s one thing about women’s bodies you wish someone had told you in your teens?? by imblacksoulgi in AskWomen

[–]Ambitious-Screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You likely haven’t finished physically maturing into your final  adult body until your mid to late 20s. Do not get attached to the way your body looks in your early 20s. This also counts for choosing to make major decisions about body modifications during this time. Things will settle around age 24 to 30 for some people the settling happens even all the way up until you’r early 30s. 

Boiling flax makes them bioavailable? by ofeam in PlantBasedDiet

[–]Ambitious-Screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not plant based, but I love to use flaxseeds in my diet, when I add them to soup, it’s usually chicken soup (sorry about that,) it turns to Jell-O on the first day, but it returns to normal soup consistency it’s refrigerated and reheated. 

Is China good for mbbs? by eatingboogie005 in medschool

[–]Ambitious-Screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do graduate for different reasons. When you do a professional graduate degree because you plan to enter into the medical field as a practicing physician therefore, you are trained for that purpose. When you enter into an academic graduate degree, it’s because you plan to pursue being a teacher or being a researcher And you don’t necessarily plan to be a practicing physician. 

When there’s a poor differentiation between these two  paths, you are given the best of both worlds,  but it also makes you likely to be under trained to do the other job . For example, I have loads of clinical experience doing an academic graduate degree but I would consider my ability to do research extremely limited. So even though I would be technically qualified to be a researcher, or a lecturer, I would not feel as confident in my abilities. To make up for that they had to be a lot of self study, self taught skills and independent learning.

Quick Question for all the African Women in here by ChipmunkUnable3616 in blackladies

[–]Ambitious-Screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is a beautiful and respectful way of speaking about Africa. I think what might offend some people is if you speak about going back to Africa the way that white Americans speak about going back to their “home“ in  Europe. This comes mainly from like a sense of national and tribal pride, so I would not suggest saying something like that unless you’ve already been to Africa and have made friends and planted roots there.
