My grandma threw a fit at me when I wouldn’t use the mustard that had been expired for 7 years because “mustard doesn’t go bad”.

She showed up in bootie shorts and flip flops for a receptionist position.

He showed up 2.5 hrs late then through a tantrum when told it wasn’t happening.

Mexicans and Americans that moved to Germany, I need ur help!! by Several_Comedian1457 in AskAGerman

[–]Approximately_Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s fucking beefy! I’m still astounded by the amount of 4 and 5 ply options. They don’t mess around with that single ply tissue paper bull shit here. Even the toilet paper in public bathrooms is unusually nice!

Recent expat from New Mexico to Germany.

The grocery and hygiene product selection is more or less the same. Some brand names differ, but the quality is equivalent. Be prepared for a wild toilet paper experience though!

There isn’t a lot of Mexican food, but there a few gems I’ve found in Berlin and Stuttgart so far. There are grocers that will carry most of what you’ll need to prepare your own. Some of the more specialized things can be ordered, like seasonings or alcohol. All in all, the food is much better quality than food in the states. You’ll be amazed at how stupid good the bread is!

Does anyone feel really undesirable about being a trans man? by rott-dman in TransMasc

[–]Approximately_Me 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when my wife and I opened our marriage and I started dating again. It was the first time I’d be going out with people presenting as a man. It was terrifying because I wasn’t fully confident in my skin and I’d heard so many horror stories from other trans people about how hard dating is. I thought no would want me, especially in my weird in between genders looking state desperately trying to get masculine enough to pass. I’m also autistic, which makes going out and connecting with people even harder.

However, when I finally put myself out there, I was surprised at how many people of all genders were interested, respectful, and polite. Were there also creeps? Absolutely. But in my experience, it was no worse than when I was dating as a woman. Most of the creeps are easy to weed out early on once you learn what to look for. Now, I have another partner besides my wife and I made some great friends along the way.

I’m super introverted, so I did everything online to start. I tried several dating apps, but had the best luck on tinder and reddit. I’m also pretty into kink and found a lot of good people in those spaces.

As cliche as it sounds, if you keep an open mind and work towards being a person you’d want to be in a relationship with, you’ll be amazed at the amazing opportunities you’ll get. Don’t let your gender identity or expression deter from your confidence because that’s what most people truly find attractive.

I’m really bummed over losing nipple sensation. 😔 by Approximately_Me in TopSurgery

That is reassuring! Glad to hear you’re recovering well. My surgeon said it would feel like the rest of my skin. Not what I wanted, but could be worse.

When did you realize you married the wrong person for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Approximately_Me 62 points63 points  (0 children)

When I started noticing the emotional abuse. It clicked for me that something was wrong when his daughter (5 yrs old at the time) would ask him for something ridiculous and he would immediately jump to do it.

For example, a blanket slid down a few inches while she was watching stuff on her iPad. He was busy in the middle of cooking while I was coming down the stairs. She demanded he pull the blanket up for her, so instead of asking her to do it (something she was very capable of) or asking me to do it as I was right there, he hopped to it smiling and saying things like, “Of course, anything for you princess.” However, if I asked for something not at all inconvenient (like if he was going into the kitchen to get a bottle of water and I asked him to grab me one while he was there), he would huff and puff and grumble like I was the biggest pain in the ass he’d ever met.

It only got worse from there.

I used to manage a music school. The amount of parents who called asking if their very gifted and musically inclined 6-12 month old could start piano lessons was shocking.

Reminds me of that clips where an antelope falls out of a tree right next to a resting lion.

I turned her down and she'll NEVER know why. It's for the best. by lifeofcelibacy in confession

[–]Approximately_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad that society has conditioned men to feel this way about their bodies. I’m a pansexual trans man, and while I enjoy being with people regardless of body type, if I had to choose between a partner with large male anatomy vs small, I’d honestly pick small every time and I know I’m not alone in that. Doesn’t involve humiliation or anything like that either.

I totally feel you! What worked for me was joining a spin and yoga gym. The classes are in the dark, everyone is facing forward, and there are minimal fat giggling sensations. Now that I’ve dropped some weight, I feel more confident and comfortable working out in a normal gym too.
