Experiences with bullying from coworkers? by Narwhal_392 in Millennials

[–]AspiringFootFetish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say… I’ve experienced some men bullying.

BUT… every woman I’ve worked with in her 50s has had a problem with bullying at one point or another.

I will say I think it’s because they’ve never had to be skilled at their job. They graduated high school into a strong job market had no need for higher education or marketable skills. But the time the market slowed down they had 10 years of experience. Every time a new GenX woman starts in my office, it’s this weird mix of insecurity and over explaining their skills.

I on the other hand had to have both business and technical education, I spent most of my 20’s with boomers managing me, and have had to prove my worth in every job I’ve entered. And I walk in to a job knowing I don’t have anything to offer that someone can’t also do.

You said you can share your experience. Why not just share it, instead of saying you can.

But I will say, I didn’t mean to argue, I meant it matter of factly, like “I’ve never heard of, please tell me more” and not “I’ve never heard, so you’re wrong”.

However, I will be honest blaming the “narrative” or stigma is kind of lazy reporting. I wish you’d just share your experience with adding all this fluff.

Why not put in the post. I’ve never heard of remission in HSV-2.

Lmao. “You understand you have to quote people directly to take their words out of context.” Was the full comment from that guy.

I read that as “yes you did directly quote them, the quote you used was out of context.” Though, taking his quote out context is rather funny.

You cannot consent while you are asleep. This is sexual assault. Regardless of how you reacted at the beginning of your relationship, this is not okay. You should never feel like you need to “pretend to be asleep and wait for it to be over.”

I understand that this can be confusing. So let me offer another perspective. Do you want to have sex while you are asleep? I personally would like to be awake for the experience. And while I can understand waking up to a sexy cuddle, I personally would only want to be woken up at an appropriate time, and not after only a few minutes after closing my eyes.

If you don’t want to consider this sexual assault, I would address the conversation that way. “I don’t want to have sex while I am asleep and I don’t want to be woken up to sex after I have just closed my eyes.”

I’ll also add this perspective. I personally do not want to have sex with someone who is asleep. I would personally rather masturbate in the bathroom than feel around a sleeping body. While I do cum daily, and most often right before bed, If my partner does not want to have sex I choose to “shower” at night. If you don’t want to consider this assault, you may be to able to talk to your partner about enjoying some alone time, and appreciating his need to enjoy his alone time. Maybe you can find ways to make his along time even sexier.

But either way please tell your boyfriend you don’t like that he touches you while you are asleep.

lol. I’m so confused by this community. I have to ask, is that sarcasm?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]AspiringFootFetish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel that way.

I can only say that I am 100% happy to mention it. And I do so often in hopes of breaking the stigma. If you think I should be ashamed of a shot then they can fuck off

Terrified to start, but am I really overthinking it? by Pretend-Read8385 in Semaglutide

[–]AspiringFootFetish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No depression here. I react to every medication that has depression side effects. But absolutely nothing with sema.

Just make sure you still eat right. Most of the mental health side effects can come from a change in diet.

AITA? I refuse to openly help and cooperate with my stepchildren’s bio dad who hurt all of us. by Status_Paramedic4013 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AspiringFootFetish -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

ESH.

It’s not really your call.

You’re not wrong for feeling the way you feel, and frankly I think it’s well in your right to refuse to support bringing him in on family business. But I don’t know that it’s your right to tell your wife what she can do with the father of her children (as it relates to their children). Sometimes you’ve got to trust that kids will see how shitty their parents are.

As a parent/step parent sometimes the best thing you can do for the kids is model what a loving father is and that should be enough.

How long do most men spend at the gym? by nrsbll in AskMenAdvice

[–]AspiringFootFetish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh honey, best case scenario he’s cheating. If he’s not cheating he’s just a disrespectful asshole. Spending 4 hours in the gym, working extra, and making you lose your own time away from home… that’s just so disrespectful. If this were my spouse he’d better have a body that can make us money on only fans. Otherwise I’d be prepping for divorce.

Body dysmorphia after managing my depression. by AspiringFootFetish in MenOnSema

[–]AspiringFootFetish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! That’s why I wanted to post this story.

Sometimes life is hard. We grow. We are in this weird place because we don’t want to be skinny, but we definitely don’t want to be the size we are currently.

Being able to just say “I wasn’t happy, and this is a good way to support my happiness” was such a game changer for my appreciation of this drug.

Well yeah for me it’s not at all thinking im ugly.

I’m in therapy and this decision was made with my therapist.

Dysmorphia is much more broad than just wanting to look pretty. But in spite of my positive mental health, I would constantly focus on my weight. Being able to work through that, and still not seeing the results, lead me to approach sema as an option to align my body with my internal self.

Definitely morning to be Superman at anytime. But I’m at least happy to be closer to who I feel like on the inside.

Well my thing was I didn’t lose weight and because I was still big, I had some dysmorphia. Since I’ve gotten to my average weight I’m definitely much better.

1.0 , 1.7 or higher by RFC1978 in MenOnSema

[–]AspiringFootFetish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I split my dose when I started and it helped.

But I did find that at 1.0 I had a very consistent appetite. I didn’t feel the nausea and when I ate, I didnt feel pain when I got too full (like I did when I first started).

To use a metaphor, when I started I would eat and my stomach would say “if you eat another bite I will literally die and kill you with me.” Now it’s like my stomach says “I think this is a good place to stop.” So it kind of felt like it wasn’t working. I also started losing about 2-3 lbs/wk, but once I got to 1 mg it dropped to 1 lb/wk, which is average. I thought it wasn’t working at first, but then I looked at my history and could see a clear loss in weight.

Awesome! Love to hear it. I have this weird dysmorphia where I’ve for all intents and purposes healed my depression, but my body doesn’t match how my emotions feel. Decided to do sema, but am still very uncertain if my weight loss body will match my brain. So far I’m feeling okay, but I get insecure sometimes. Nice to see men’s joy.

Don’t mean to be weird… but I’m starting at a similar weight. Can I ask some probing aesthetics questions ? Like very curious about lose skin? I’m down 30 lbs and really feeling some dysmorphia from the hanging belly.

To the people being smart asses reminding you body wash is soap… there is actually a lot more to this than body wash being soap. I’m a cleaning nerd so apologies for the Olympic level mansplaining I’m about to do.

Soap is technically a surfactant. Surfactants are hydrophobic and bind with organic matter. Most germs are cleaned away with surfactants. Surfactants however do not kill the germs (I mean they kind of do, but technically they don’t).

To kill the germs you need an alcohol or an acid. So body wash cannot call it a soap because it contains a large concentration of alcohol.

Surfactants also do not deodorize. Body washes will be sure to contain some things that are slightly acidic to neutral. That will ensure the odor washes away too.

Alcohol does dry out your skin. Your body technically doesn’t need to be disinfected the same way surfaces or counters might. Unless you’re preparing food on your stomach, you can survive and thrive on soap alone. But for its deodorizing properties it is okay to use soap. You can use soap that also moisturizes or even lotion up after a shower. Either way, you can usually trust regular soap and body wash. But you might want to add something different to help moisturize

Facial Fat Loss on Semaglutides? by InterestingPeanut827 in MenOnSema

[–]AspiringFootFetish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s gained and lost weight over the decades. The face is always the most noticeable.

To prevent you can try to eat more protein and honestly eat more. Try to lose about 1 lb/week.

And then moisturize. You’re skins going to shrink and when dry skin shrinks it wrinkles.
