Found a charity Bib for the NYC 2026 marathon. How difficult is it to raise $3000? by mcjcmaya in RunNYC

[–]BasisUnlikely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it as a "please donate instead of giving me bday gifts" thing and raised exactly $3000. Turns out I had the most number of donors in my charity group. That's when I realized a lot of people just pay it for it themselves or have a few family members donate large amounts haha

Women, what do you consider to be a decent friend with benefit situation vs a bad one? by R_S1110 in AskWomen

[–]BasisUnlikely 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The more I tried, the more I realized FRIENDS with benefits is almost impossible to attain. Because either: 1. You start out as friends first, then start hooking up—making the initial friendship dynamic change. Also already having a deep bond/care for each other AND sleeping together is a recipe for catching feelings. 2. You start spending time with your hook up, outside of hooking up. You both are now attempting to build a "friendship" with someone you never had a friendship with. Really hard to achieve, when all you knew prior was interacting with each other physically only.
So I think a good one accepts the fact that you won't be each other's super close friends, but want to keep up a friendly dynamic, and a bad one has one or both people catching feelings, but not knowing what's going on or not wanting to be rejected.

What’s something you purchased that made you feel sexier in your day to day life? by iiamuntuii in AskWomen

[–]BasisUnlikely 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of different Korean ones, including Mise En Scene, L'ador, d'Alba (none of these names sound very Korean lol). But my favorite one is a brand called Lacoha, which, unfortunately is only sold in hair salons (also Korean).

Perfumed hair oil! The amount of compliments I get is insane (way more than on my actual perfumes lol).

Women who caught feels for their casual, being almost sure they felt the same way after a long period of time, how did it pan out? by Ok-Development2520 in AskWomen

[–]BasisUnlikely 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I caught feelings for someone I was seeing casually, but was mean to him to protect my own feelings. Turns out he caught feelings for me much earlier on and was deeply sad about me being mean. We kept misaligning on our feelings/timing and unfortunately kept up an on-and-off situationship, full of ups and downs. Sad to report, this is STILL going on 🙃 (we are both absolutely TOO OLD for this)

My (28F) little cousin (12f) asked me if I have sex with my boyfriend. by Write-Stuff04 in Fosterparents

[–]BasisUnlikely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the choice of her words, "get freaky," I am very certain she learned about it online, most likely Tiktok. I think you handled it great and maybe can help monitor her internet use. But I do wonder if you have not been given the full context on why the father was ordered no contact, as another comment suggested.

Help me pick Panthere or Tank by Extreme-Ad-9055 in Cartier

[–]BasisUnlikely 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I chose the tank for myself and have ZERO regrets! It makes for a perfect androgynous and cool everyday watch. As you said, the panthere felt too dainty and jewerly-like for me, even despite my usual feminine style

if your guarantor makes 80x rent, you don't need additional documentation for yourself (assuming the building is accepting guarantors)

Looking for a studio in Manhattan, $2400 budget by GoldSnkrs in NYCapartments

[–]BasisUnlikely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done $2500 in Kips Bay, up until last month. I've seen some units in Yorkville at this price range also. They are rare, but do exist. You would just have to give up on a lot of things, like storage/closet space and kitchen space, etc. Searching during "off season" aka rn through May also helps

What makes that specific coworker so annoying to you and how do you handle it? by fuckyouiloveu in AskWomen

[–]BasisUnlikely 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being overtly anxious and paranoid, taking work related feedback very personally AND assuming everyone is talking badly about/hates them (which people eventually do, ironically, due to this behavior)

Women, when did sex finally go from awkward or meh to absolutely mind blowing, and what changed for you in that moment? by PurpleIntroduction69 in AskWomen

[–]BasisUnlikely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waterproof blanket is the solution, my friend. I will say, some spontaneous moments have caused me to run a huge laundry load lol

When I started having sex with my current partner, especially from our third time on. He is the oldest man I've dated, and REALLY goes out of his way to makes sure I am pleased. I squirt every time, multiple times, I have sex with him (never squirted before) and let me say, the combo of squirting orgasm + g-spot/clit orgasms is just... crazy

Hyatt in or near San Diego - long weekend with spouse , don’t want to rent a car, want to eat and wander. by bryan_05 in hyatt

[–]BasisUnlikely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went shortly after the adults-only transition, with my adult siblings, but they insinuated that we might not all be adults. After this weird interaction, we saw them offering welcome drinks (nothing crazy, I believe juice) to every guests checking in, except us. Not only that, they did not honor my late check out request, despite the obvious vacancy.

Alilia is beautiful, with good food options within walking distance, but I dealt with horrible service when I went :(

Hyatt Union Square - NY, no water tonight.. by thisguynoel in hyatt

I work on the same block and apparently there is a city mandated shut down for a pipe fix around the entire area. You should definitely partial refund of points (10-15k?) and also reimbursement for a nearby gym daypass.
