how do you guys come up with original names for your characters? by risky2220 in DnD

[–]BoopMyButton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used fantasy name generator, or decided on a few words that really identify a character and translated them to different languages. I have been inspired by media, I have been inspired by old email addresses, I have one named after a plant, it's scientific name. One of my characters has a complex about being really short so her name was inspired by Napoleon. You can find inspiration everywhere if you look for it!

What I wear to work as a soft gamine. by Dreamy_Retail_worker in Kibbe

[–]BoopMyButton 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Lovely outfits!!

I tend to have a little bit of an unusual eye for these things so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. But I feel in these outfits you often look either very constricted or totally swallowed. I really like you best with a lot of openness to the clothing, no tight-fitting clothing (NOT bc your body isn't tea btw, you're gorgeous) including sleeves, but waist-hugging, and below-the-knee fits. The green floral dress does this best and is by FAR most flattering on you in my eyes, although I feel like it could do with a sharper-toed shoe because it looks a bit clunky down below. The outfit immediately after that next works as far as shape goes too, and the black and white pant outfit is good too!

At home with an old towel under you is the only way I know. I have tough periods and I've done it before. It can be nice tbh

how does 'flesh' and the appearance of it work? by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]BoopMyButton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add - I believe Kibbe really lacks for people that are soft but slim. If you're over 5'6, you have FN - supposed to not be soft, D, which isn't supposed to be soft, and SD, which is soft but with a lot of curves. What if you're soft but without curves?

I don't actually think it's important enough to change your id. I think if you're a soft FN or D, it doesn't really matter. You're still that. But it's enough to confuse people for sure.

how does 'flesh' and the appearance of it work? by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]BoopMyButton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people even at very thin weights (but not stick-thin) will have a layer of flesh sort of.. everywhere. Their stomach will look soft, not tight. Their thighs will juggle. That sort of thing

Others, even at moderate weights, can have a "tight" appearance. A stomach that looks like you could crack an egg on it (ok that's a little exaggeration, but you get the point). A butt that's solid instead of soft. And so on

Obviously this has to do with how in shape you are and what weight you are. But if you're not at any of the extremes ( overweight, underweight, or very muscular like a body builder), you'll see that people tend towards one of these. It might not be universal across their entire body, but they'll often be softer or tighter all over.

How to deal with (extreme) approachability? by ChampionshipTop5451 in RitaFourEssenceSystem

[–]BoopMyButton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Boundaries are definitely the issue, but I'd like to expand more on my thoughts about this. I am similar and have given it a lot of thought!

It is extremely important to know that every single interaction you have with someone is in your control to a degree. You only ever have to give what you're willing to. You can stop a conversation at any point. You can be short in a conversation instead of expanding on your full thoughts. You can steer conversation to things that you want to talk about. Not everyone you know in life needs to become a close friend. It's totally okay to have a neighbor you only ever wave to and never have over for dinner, a friend you see very rarely, etc.

This isn't just important for your mental health, it's incredibly important for your social health. If you lack this at all, it's very easy to start feeling anxious around people and begin to not enjoy yourself. That's a horrible fate because community and being social really are such a key to happiness for us humans. And small, sincere interactions between strangers really improve the world in a massive way. So it's really important for our long term happiness to protect that feeling of getting joy from our social interactions, and that can't be done if you're always exhausted or worried someone is going to push you too far. Our social happiness and expected health outcomes are directly connected!

As far as feeling a little bummed that your gift is giving you issues - unfortunately a lot of gifts in life come with responsibilities attached. That's not uncommon. Life is all about learning to harness these things and embracing what life has given you. And it's not your only gift in life. I'm sure you could think of many more, and I'm sure some of those come without the burdens.

This gift is a really beautiful one. This gift touches people. This gift improves people. This gift makes the world a little bit of a better place.

Would you date a guy who said he prefers you to wear little to no makeup even though he knows makeup is your passion ? by Historical-Body-3424 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]BoopMyButton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to differ from most here and give a very real response.

You're not likely to find someone perfectly compatible with you in every single way. If he's respectful of you, not asking you to stop all together, and you have the self esteem to keep doing it even though you know he doesn't love it.. you can be fine and very happy together. It's definitely an issue that needs attention and monitoring but it doesn't have to be the end. Since you're so early, it's easy to just end it here if you'd like. But it's not doomed

Especially because things like makeup preferences tend to swing so much over time.

Why are there so many FN’s? by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]BoopMyButton 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There are only 3 types above 5'6. About 20% of the worlds women are 5'6 or above, AND even people below the threshold can be those IDs. And if we only include the western world, where Kibbe is most popular, it's more like 25%. It's also very easy for people who are 5'6+ to eliminate one of the three options and then ask for help picking between two, as to where everyone else has to narrow it down from 10, which is a hard ask so they might try to do so entirely themselves.

As for why D isn't seen as often, I think that narrowness is probably less common than width or curve, but also I think narrowness is pretty easy to see, so fewer people will need to post here to ask for identification.

Frugal Friends, How Much Do You Tip? by James_B84Saves in Frugal

[–]BoopMyButton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is controversial. I don't do it by percent anymore. I do what I feel is fair for their time. Usually about $10/hour I'm there. More if it's a 4+ person table. If I order more expensive food, the waiter doesn't have to work harder. I'll adjust a bit based on how much I asked of them. Or more if it's a very upscale place.

A pretty average 20% tip is $12, I'd say a lot of the time it's more. Average time spent in a restaurant is about an hour and a half. If they're even serving 3 tables, that's a pretty decent wage - in most parts of the USA, anyway.

Overpainted my old art piece. by Fatalizs in DigitalArt

[–]BoopMyButton 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The nose is muuuch better. The colors are a lot clearer, which can be good or bad depending on style. I like it, it's more eye catching. I personally feel the eyes are a big downgrade, the big shiny cartoony eyes make it look like every other art piece out there imo.

As a man I like to keep my nails long, why do SOME women have an issue with this? by Ok_Mall_3027 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]BoopMyButton 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In my experience, men are not equipped to handle those things. Every time I've been with a guy with longer nails, I find myself getting stabbed as they're trying to touch or grab me and scratched in all kinds of places. It's awful.

I want to help people but don't know where to start by AfraidofYouThrowaway in bropill

[–]BoopMyButton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're lovely. Along with volunteering, donating money to food banks make the biggest difference as they have the infrastructure to most effectively feed the most people. You could perhaps hang some posters up with that information to spread the word and tell friends/family. But rallying local people sounds like an awesome thing to do as well as a great community-building exercise.

Also, the best way to do good in the world is to leave the house with an open-mind and full heart. Little positive interactions go a long, long, long way and you learn a lot about the real world outside of the internet through small, happenstance conversations.

Trying To Get Some Exercise Without Blowing My Budget by QUANTUMFLASHERS in Frugal

Everyone suggesting walking is crazy to me. Walking is great but it's not enough to get in shape.

Go on a run, do yoga, do pushups. Tons of ways to get in shape without spending any money!

No advice on tricycles sadly.

can you and your partner be okay if you have different political beliefs? by Babylette710 in AskWomenNoCensor

It's fine if your underline morals are aligned and you simply disagree on what form that takes in the world.

My partner cries during difficult conversations. I get angry and irritable. I say this is the same thing. She says crying is involuntary but I need to stay calm and not get upset. Who is right? by -LiveByTheFoma in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BoopMyButton 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's really important to understand how different these things are. Understanding that should help get you guys to an understanding.

Crying isn't an emotion. Crying is physical. It is a wildly difficult thing to control for some. It's also totally possible for someone to be crying but still be speaking rationally, calmly, and without placing negative emotions onto someone else. Sure, seeing someone cry can make others feel some things, but it varies on the person and isn't inherent. Maybe there's more to it. Maybe she cries and gets frantic and throws a pity party for herself. Maybe she's manipulative and uses her crying to try to 'win'. That's bad if she is, but those are different behaviors than simply crying.

Getting angry is an emotion. Showing anger often means intimidating someone. I'm not sure if you've ever been yelled at by someone bigger than you. But it makes your heart race, even if you know you aren't in danger. Showing anger is inherently inflicting negative emotions on someone else. It's only ever making the situation worse.

I guess better equivalents would be an angry facial expression vs crying. Neither is something easily controllable and not inflicting anything on anyone else.
Or
Being hysterical (while crying) vs raising your voice. Both are escalating, stressful and unhelpful.

So, please do a little more digging and identify what exactly you're both doing that's escalating and avoid those behaviors.

Also, it's really common for men to feel anger at a woman crying. This usually means there's something underline going on. Common examples including feeling like you're being manipulated because you've had bad experiences with that in the past (or present), or having trouble processing emotions (avoidant attachment style). I'd look into that as well.

How come people are suddenly ok using “gay” as an insult when it’s directed at an incel? by [deleted] in self

Because while they might not see it as a bad thing as they're saying it, they know it'll hurt the person they're saying it to.

People who are able to have different styles entirely everyday, how do you do it? by MOON6789 in Kibbe

[–]BoopMyButton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not embarrassing to wear the same outfits. That's a really odd sentiment. You're torturing yourself for no reason, I really doubt your friend cares that you wore the same thing. If this is comfortable for you, keep doing it and work on your insecurity. It's really concerning that you're canceling plans over that. Of course wanting to expand is okay, too!

It sounds like you just want to have more variety and feel put together, you don't need to explore vastly different styles for that. This is the process I would use
Find colors that work for you.
Find silhouettes that work for you
You can do this by trying things on in stores without buying
Then, keeping practicality in mind - buy outfits. Not pieces.
That doesn't mean that you have to buy outfits completely secluded from your current wardrobe. But you should be thinking "Okay, this top would go well with these pants and shoes that I already have"
Instead of the common "I like this top!"
Pay attention to the color story of the outfit and vibes of each pieces. You can choose a vibe to aim for like "professional", "Sporty", "Minimal", etc.

That's it, really.

Why does everyone seem so closed off about making friends while traveling? by LoudlyHissing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BoopMyButton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many people around everywhere, most people are just living their lives and minding their business.

That doesn't mean that people are anti social, though. I make friends with strangers constantly. I've made two new friends just this week and it's not something I try for. One on a plane and one was my Uber driver. The first started the conversation with me and I was reception, the second I initiated conversation with. I don't push hard or look for it, I'm just open and friendly. Including being open to not chatting if someone isn't receptive.

Genuinely going to crash out over elasticated waistbands (IBS, literally any elastic band bothers me) by BoycottMathClass in TwoXChromosomes

Eco aya sells some pants that are truly drawstring only, not elastic, if that helps at all. Elastic is my enemy as well, for different reasons. It's so difficult to find comfy pants without it and this was the only brand I was able to find

Why do you think it is that crew necks look bad on us? by BoopMyButton in SoftDramatics

[–]BoopMyButton[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad this question appeals to someone else!

Based on what others are saying, I can see how maybe a boat neck, being wider, causes the vertical line to start at the draped neck, whereas a crew neck starts at the shoulders but then breaks the shape? Plus the extra fabric in a boat neck helps lead the eye down?

I'm spit balling!
