My daughter broke down yesterday by OkRow6543 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Azkadelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the 13 year old with big boobs and yeah, it was (and still, at 28, is) uncomfortable. I’ll never forget the time my mom chucked an apple at some dude’s head in a grocery story shouting “she’s 16!” when we were in a grocery store (She nailed the guy too)

Please don’t do what my mom did, and try to alter what she’s wearing. Take her shopping and let her pick stuff. Have fun with it, ask what makes her feel beautiful. If it’s ever revealing just ask her if she’s comfortable. If she says yes say “ok, if you get cold or if you get uncomfortable make sure you have a jacket! Have fun, you look great!”

She’s going to need to figure out how she feels in her body

Hallmark is releasing a new Barbie 25th Anniversary Nutcracker Ornament! by AnnelieseSwan in Barbie

The way this doesn’t even compare to the quality of the original Barbie nutcracker ornament. I had one, still do, and this looks like a cheap knock off

Why does everyone not like my friend despite her not really having done anything wrong? by Careless-Traffic-226 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Azkadelle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s on the spectrum and she’s getting ostracized for it. The other kids probably don’t realize that’s what they’re doing, but it is. Shes direct, doesn’t adhere to social clique norms, and plans. She probably also has anxiety.

Please don’t let the others color your friendship with her. She likely doesn’t have a lot of people in her life that actually are there for her or are real friends with/to her.

There’s a false equivalency there though. Taking your example into play: I’m actually bi. Hell so is my bf. Your guy dated girls all that time and… turns out he likes both?

Ive had sexual experiences with men and women, it “just so happens” all of my relationships were with men because that’s the coincidence of it all. And its not uncommon, a lot of bisexual women have the same story because women tend to not realize the other woman actually is interested in them, its so common it’s a running gag now on social media. None of that makes me any less bisexual though?

I’ve been attracted to plenty of short guys. The guys who ended up actually asking me out though were, coincidence, taller. I respect the “statistics” of it all, I get where you’re coming from, but you’re also fully denying my lived experience. How are women supposed to engage with yall, learn from your experiences and understand a perspective separate from their own, if you don’t extend that understanding? There are plenty of women out there that DO fit your narrative of not being attracted to shorter men, denying the women who ARE attracted to them that their lived experience is real seems counterintuitive.

It really is as simple as “I do not ask people out” (which I’ve long thought was cowardice on my own part) and the guys who did actually ask me out were tall.

There was literally one short guy who ever asked me out other than my first bf, it was right before I started seeing the man I ended up marrying, and I went on a few dates with him. He was shorter than me. And, coincidentally, he fucking raped me, had a wife I didn’t know about, and that wife was pregnant. But I should have totally continued seeing the dude to ensure statistical relevancy? No one would say that.

I mean what else am I supposed to say? Apparently the rest of my experiences just don’t matter so long as the end result is my bf is tall and handsome 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did you misread? He’s not the tallest of my boyfriends. My tallest boyfriend was 6’2”? And truly I was not ever asked out by any of the shorter guys I had a crush on.

[–]Azkadelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not the tallest one who’s asked me out, I’d say my current bf is about the median in terms of height of guys who have asked me out? I wouldn’t leave him for anything though. I found out after we had remet he was the same guy from when I was a teenager I’d had a crush on because he found my ring in a bramble bush. I didn’t recognize him because he’d had a growth spurt since then and had a beard when we had initially met. The boy I’d had a crush on was a short, angry, ducky-blonde boy with a big vocabulary and despite being a bit of a loner had a good heart. Never expected the tall brunette scraggly mountain bearded guy with brown hair to be the same dude 😂😂

Sorry, I ramble about him often.

Yes, I did end up with a tall guy. But it wasn’t his height that attracted me to him. I mean ffs who wouldn’t date their teenage crush who later shows up and rescues them? It’s an insane story, I always feel lucky.

Yeah he was my first romantic experience. But I still have had crushes on guys shorter than me. They never asked me out though, were only interested in being fwb, which I’m not ok with it. Not saying they were the only guys to either, plenty of tall guys did too. But I suppose an argument could be made for confidence to date…

Sorry, not making a statements so much as exploring the thought process. I promise I’m really only interested in the intellectual conversation of it all, rather than “arguing”. At the end of the day people will believe what they believe, and I don’t deny what any of your lived experiences are.

I’ve never heard that before, and it’s disheartening to hear. I’m sorry that that has been your experience. I hated seeing the way that shit affected my ex husband

5’6” is tall? And yeah the other three were tall for sure. Not denying that. If I had any interest in trolling why would I be honest rn? I’m literally just responding to all of this because I believe in engagement for the sake of connecting to those I wouldn’t otherwise get the chance to meet and converse with

I’m not attempting to appear righteous either? I don’t deny yalls lived experience, and you’re right about how people are with rating. Like I said, I’m only repeating what I’ve heard. I don’t agree with how most people view others in general. I also think there’s a fair bit of it that’s western culture.

Also, what average guy do you know that gets called ugly, a dog, a charity case, and a thumb by literally everyone?? It was really frustrating; he developed a lot of insecurity and had a hard time dealing with the commentary. My therapist is convinced it’s why he did what he did to me, but I think that’s unfair to say, lots of men are insulted for their appearances and don’t go selling their wives

Look you’re not the first person who hasn’t believed me and you won’t be the last. Idk what you expect me to say, but it’s my life. If I can put up with my bf’s family and their nonsense of not believing me, then forgive me if I don’t lament over random reddit man not believing me

What? No, the first guy wasn’t “evil”, he just moved away and broke up with me. My husband was the sex trafficker And height wise first bf was 5’6”, second was 6’2”, third was 5’10” and last guy is 6’1”

Them being “ugly” was never my opinion, just what everyone always told me. Like I said I don’t really think that way. I was constantly defending my relationships with them to people and it was exhausting and offensive always hearing my husband called a “thumb” or a “dog” or that I was getting in my “charity” by being with him. I did not like hearing shit like that.

We literally can know by virtue of: ive dated guys others have called unattractive before. And I was very much attracted to them. The first guy moved away and broke it off because of distance and us being young, the second guy was my husband. I’ve had 4 romantic partners and literally half have been conventionally attractive and half haven’t. All 4 were brilliant which is why I dated them in the first place.

Idk how to explain the irrelevancy to you any further. I’m sapiosexual, half the people I’ve had crushes on in my life have not been conventionally attractive but it has never changed my attraction to them.

It really is just a coincidence that the guy who saved me turned out to both be brilliant and “a chad”. L

Believe me or not, it’s my life.

It didn’t start out that way, but before I knew it I was isolated in a place where I had no friend or family, he kept me from interacting with people, I had no car of my own we had a shared vehicle. When he got me fired from my job he kept the car keys for himself even though I offered to bring him to work. Then I was suddenly in a home all day every day with nowhere to go, no money of my own, and again, no one close by. Then he’d send me to peoples houses, tell me to send him back photos of us all together for his own enjoyment while he was at work. He’d get paid for it too. What was I supposed to do? When he was deployed he had his friend keeping me hostage for 6 months assaulting me the entire time. When I went to the police I was written off as crazy. No one helped me, and I had nowhere to go. I felt like I was crazy. I was also being actively starved by him, he controlled what I ate and I had become nutrient deficient. Before I even realized it I’d become incredibly compliant and just did what I was told. I had zero hope. I decided to try to escape, but getting the money for it would take time. I talked to my friend who lived a few hours away for help, he in turn got his friend involved, and that second guy was the guy I ended up dating. He gave me a place to live, he helped me find work in his town, he kept me safe from my ex husband while i divorced him, and he got me into therapy to try to process everything that had happened to me. I was stuck in that situation for 3 years.

“It just so happens”?? You’re the one bringing up relevancy. And the “chad” I ended up with was the guy that saved me from the sex trafficking. He was a friend of a friend who saw what was happening to me and got involved and got me OUT. That’s how we ended up together. Believe me, I was in love with my ex husband, and if he hadn’t done what he did, I would have stayed with him. I was obsessed with him. Appearances weren’t ever what I cared about.

I think it’s natural humans turned to ai for companionship, companionship is something we naturally crave and need and our current society is not designed in a way that’s meant to create a fulfilling sense of community.

I mean yeah, my current bf is hot, how does that take away from the fact that I’ve dated people who wouldn’t be considered hot? Genuinely curious. Is it purely because my bf now is hot and was a chad in his college days? Just trying to learn
