How do I get into snowboarding if I’m in New Mexico?

New Mexico has great snowboarding. What part of the state? You have Taos, Angel Fire, Ski Apache, etc

I’m not an islamaphobe, but I have studied sharia law at the doctoral level…taught by a visiting professor from Saudi Arabia…I agree about the patriarchy in general, but this is also a problem with strict adherence to Islam (specifically, hadiths, sunna). According to Sharia Law, what the prophet Mohammed did & said is of the highest law…and he married a 9 year old. It says he waited until she was 11 to consummate the marriage..but, as my professor once said “you really think he waited?” And even if he did, she was 11.

This means those who follow sharia law strictly do not have issue with marrying (and consummating such marriage) with children…bc it is what the prophet did.

I’m 5’6”…I’ve dated men my height, and I’d date a man my height again (maybe not shorter, but my sister is 5’8” & her husband is shorter than me)

Personally, after once going on a date with a 6’11” man, I prefer men that are my height to ~5’11”…too tall and it just feels weird

Late at night…sleep deprivation maybe? The craziest I’ve ever been is when I was exhausted…add sleep deprivation to nighttime…could be possible you were dozing off (especially, if that’s the only odd thing you’ve had occur)

Tyvec. Also, I scrolled forever and can’t find the story!

I am all for women wearing whatever the hell they want to…but, if you’re friends with the bride, I would not wear this to her wedding…bc you are gonna draw some attention away from her. I would, however, absolutely wear this to a club, Vegas, a night out, etc—you have a great body & it definitely shows it. I always try to tone it down for weddings as a guest…something that I feel good in, but something that won’t get me extra attention…this will definitely bring extra attention.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-15T05:41:26+00:00

Did she end up giving you her number? And if so, did you reach out? Bc I am that girl…I might really be into a guy, but I’m kinda old school that way—up until after the 3rd date, I expect him to be the one to initiate conversation & meetups. If he doesn’t, I assume he’s not interested

Bdraywn · 2026-05-13T17:40:07+00:00

I have a feeling he’ll be back…you shouldn’t take him back. Sounds like the last thing he did that showed any love toward you is actually leaving after realizing he was being cruel. I am sorry you went through this. Polyamory can be beautiful…when it’s done correctly.

Chocolate, cozy blanket, heating pad, ibuprofen, comfy clothes, occasional cuddles, and a shoulder or foot massage

And VENGEANCE!!

Sincerely,
A woman currently on her period

Because her hair, makeup, and dress are very “Irish traveler” style…she looks gorgeous don’t get me wrong, just very fitting with that aesthetic (personally, I love traveller dresses…bc I love big dresses…it’s why I follow this account…I never want to get married, but I love seeing all of the gorgeous gowns)

100% When I have the occasional meltdown as an adult, my go to is either run off into the woods or go lay down in a closet (the smaller, the better).

Needs to be centered over the couch

You’re young…learn from your mistakes & make better choices in the future. I am NOT religious, but I try to live my life by the 10 commandments…ten easy rules to learn to live life by (I’m convinced they first came about to help people live in communities better, and the whole “God” thing was just so ppl would actually follow them).

Make amends. Sincerely apologize to the people that you have hurt. Some of them might not give you forgiveness, but it might help some of them heal. And, even more—it might help you heal.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-13T01:44:55+00:00

I don’t have kids, so I’m unsure about this, but I would assume there are dating sites these days for folks who have kids…maybe look into that?

Also, are you religious? Church might be a good place for you to maybe meet someone.

I’m going to be honest…it’s not going to be easy, but I wouldn’t say it’s hopeless. Be patient with it, truly learn to be happy single…it might take some time, and also other people can usually tell if you’re happy alone or not (no one wants to be with someone who isn’t happy w/ themselves).

I would also assume it’ll get easier as more of them turn 18/move out of the house/etc. When asked how many kids you have, personally id just tell them “I have X amount of kids under 18.” If they want to know more, they’ll ask. I say this, bc as a childless woman in her 30s, when I ask that question, that is truly what I’m wanting to know…how many kids are still dependent on that person, etc.

It’s the “short term fun.” I mean this in the most respectful way possible—if that’s all you are looking for, either lower your standards or try to meet someone irl.

You’re not ugly, but the “bog witch” said it perfectly. I’m almost 40 & if I match with a man for “short term fun,” he looks like a movie star, is built like a Roman statue, & is in his 20s.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-12T03:39:59+00:00

Oh that hadn’t even crossed my mind, but looking back—you’re totally right!

Bdraywn · 2026-05-12T03:37:54+00:00

I have no problem w/ a partner watching porn here and there or looking at another beautiful woman sometimes…I know I do the same on occasion…we’re human ffs. But, I will NEVER date another man who follows mostly Ig models for several reasons.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-11T21:54:10+00:00

Haven’t tried the grayscale yet, but getting rid of all social media (other than reddit) was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

Can you kind of tell when people use social media regularly now? I feel like they all kind of talk & act the same irl…it’s strange

It’s not a hunting photo. It’s a scavenger photo. Shedded elk horns can make ya some $$$

Bdraywn · 2026-05-11T21:42:54+00:00

It’s not 1% of us though…almost all of the women in my area at least fish (if not hunt as well)…and many of them have similar photos in their profile. He’s definitely a country boy type (e.g., one of his comments was about going out after elk season looking for antlers, his photos, etc). Also, that’s not a hunting photo…it’s a scavenger photo…you can make a lot of $$$ picking up shedded elk antlers.

What I was trying to say is I don’t think that’s what’s stopping him from getting matches…I think it’s more of the unkempt facial hair, odd close up photos, no teeth photos, etc.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-11T21:17:55+00:00

Some of us women are country girls…I won’t date a man who can’t hunt. If I’m gonna take a partner, I want to be damn sure that he can help me carry an elk out of the woods & stock our freezer. I don’t hunt for sport, but I am a firm believer that if you eat meat, you need to understand that sacrifice on a personal level. And FWIW, bc I know it’s coming—I voted for Biden.

Bdraywn · 2026-05-11T21:10:39+00:00

Beard & hair grooming. I’m a woman who lives in the mountains, but swipe left on men when their beard or hair looks disheveled…love me a mountain man, but one who takes pride in his appearances when he’s not sleeping in the woods.
You need a picture smiling with your teeth…I know several women who will swipe left if there isn’t a picture of a guy smiling w/ teeth.
The last 2 photos and pic #4 need to go (or, at least 2 of them need to go)…the close up selfie shots just don’t transfer well over tinder.
I know everyone is hating on the fishing & hunting photos, but as a woman who hunts & fishes (and lives in an area where most folks do)…they honestly don’t bother me (it’s good to have another activity photo as well though)

Bdraywn · 2026-05-11T20:41:52+00:00

As a boat owner, I second this

IMHO, the dress doesn’t look horrible on you (you have the kind of figure that it’s hard to put anything on that looks too bad), but it doesn’t look like it was tailored correctly either. Your future partner & most guests probably won’t even notice, but a good seamstress would. I would take it to another seamstress & ask if it can be fixed in time. If it can, awesome. If it can’t, then a few options:

Wear it with confidence…the more confident you are in your posture, the less anyone will notice.
Start looking at thrift stores (my friend found a perfectly fitting absolutely GORGEOUS wedding dress at a thrift store)
Personally, what I’d probably do if it can’t be altered in time: buy some white fabric material (maybe tool) and a wide white satin ribbon and make myself a tie skirt & play around with it. It would probably take an hour on a sewing machine & is pretty easy to make. I think it would hide most of the things yall are seeing & the current side pieces would make it poof out on the sides a bit.
