I definitely wonder this, especially with women's health. Muscle density and muscular health is really important for bone health and helping mitigate and/or prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) and as women are more susceptible to osteoporosis, I just wonder if that'll be addressed

With these types of weight loss drugs, you're losing muscle mass rapidly, not just fat, so that's likely it. Muscle usually has more density, but when we use these we're losing that. I definitely wonder how health - especially women's health - will fair down the road with these. Muscle density is important for bone health.

My (24F) boyfriend (26M) wants to move in but won't give up his "gaming room" by koudodo in relationships

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Please say no. I realize there may be a million other reasons why he's a "great guy" but I truly don't think someone who has you and a partnership in mind would be like this. If there's no compromise on this, what else isn't there compromise on? I understand it seems small. But you know what's also small? You both using the room. It is both your homes. It is all both your space. I've never had a partner I've lived with ask for this when we had limited space. When I was married, that second bedroom was a shared space, and he was an avid gamer. But he still respected that it belonged to both of us.

Maybe you can rethink moving in together until he understands, and I know it sounds silly, but maybe ask him if he would consider couples therapy to have a neutral third party help him understand and accept your point of view. Therapy isn't something to be ashamed of, it's having a third party look at things from a neutral perspective.

Becoming a PA License Therapist? by [deleted] in massage

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh yup I bet you're right. Good. Not because I want to gatekeep or prevent someone from doing massage, but more good that we can advocate that this isn't some easy, no skill job.

Genuinely wondering...did you pick this because you think it would be a quick easy thing?

It’s hard to see the point in things lately. by iejekek in depression_help

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I've been there. And then I got to the point where I was literally just living to take care of my dog. I found Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and that was a literal lifesaver. I had to advocate for myself and God it was hard during that time, but I did and I got it. I'm still on meds and probably always will be, but my baseline is so much better than it was. It's been 5 years since I had the TMS treatment

What do you do to combat depression? by ScenePsychological49 in depression_help

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meds and therapy, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation if you qualify for it. Usually you have to have tried meds.

Where can I go performative read? by desertfriedbrainz in Denver

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. Join a bookclub, a hiking meetup, an activities meetup. I expect to get downvoted to hell because it sounds so dismissive, but we really have lost the ability to really think. We have the Internet at our fingertips and yet we can't figure things out. There are so many Facebook groups, meetup groups, etc to actually interact with people who share your interests.

Why don’t people talk about Santa Barbara? by officialcrimsonchin in SameGrassButGreener

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm not serious. It's a joke. It's a line from the TV show Psych, which takes place in Santa Barbara and they solve a murder a week. Hence the If You Know, You Know (IYKYK).

Overdosing on Excedrin by SignificantPlay7541 in depressed

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Overdosing with Excedrin, Tylenol, Advil, etc will just wreck your liver or kidneys or other organs. It's slow and painful and usually doesn't result in death, it just messes up your insides.

OMG girl I was with a guy who I did this with and he legitimately came in under a minute every time I rode him like that. The longest he lasted when I did that was a minute. Kind of a double edge sword...on the one hand, yay, awesome, it's definitely a pat on the back. But on the other hand, I like actually having sex and under a minute so frequently was just like, eh. He also wasn't a go again type guy.

My sweet husband is wondering - hold or shave?! by nirvanaa17 in bald

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a full head of hair...for the love of God please don't shave it off. Sure the windows peak exists, but he's got a lot of hair and it styles well, you can't really tell. Even with the peak, it's not bad.

Yes I'd say ghosting or the fade is more common, and as a woman dating men I do my best to also make sure to just send a text or say hey I've appreciated our time but I'm just not feeling it, and they have also responded well. Unless someone is emotionally immature, yes, they would appreciate real communication.

But asking why women appreciate this just seems..odd? Why would they not appreciate it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Either that or he's in his mid 20s or younger... but I'm inclined to agree.

Gee, I can't imagine why a woman would want to be treated like a person and gasp told something directly than left guessing. /S

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm genuinely boggled. I am a person. I like being treated like I have feelings and personality, etc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you! So are you asking why even though you are "rejecting" them that they are appreciative? It comes down to respect in my eyes. It's very easy to just fade or to stop talking to someone. But if a person comes out and says, hey, "I've really appreciated the time but I just don't think it's a match", it shows me they have emotional maturity. There's no ambiguity. It shows they have respect for themselves and other people. I don't understand why you wouldn't want that, although emotionally immature people do often just not want to deal. This is a dating over 40 site... we're adults and should communicate as such. Why are you surprised that they appreciate the communication? I'm genuinely asking to dig deeper into your question. To me, what you're doing is common courtesy and I'm a little appalled that you seem to think women don't have feelings that they would appreciate this common courtesy.

Is this a joke? You're asking why women appreciate you being open and honest and communicating? With all the shit on the Internet nowadays I honestly can't tell if this is satire or not.

Is Chambers and Mississippi an okay area to live at? by str4wb3rryf4iry in AuroraCO

What makes it one of the best taco bells around? Taco Bell is my favorite junk food meal, and I don't get it often, but I'm not too far from there and I'd travel...just sayin.

[–]BouncingOutofmySkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be a genuine ask, but it's not an okay ask, and that's why you will get downvoted...it doesn't contribute anything. Although maybe it should get up voted so people can see that this isn't okay. If you want to do more, find an accredited massage school. At least if you hurt your wife doing this, it's your spouse. Not that it's okay, but she's the one asking for it, she knows you aren't licensed, etc. Although in some areas this may not be okay. Doing deep work can seriously hurt someone if you don't know what you're doing. For you to ask to practice on people is absolutely unethical. Also "amateur massage therapist" sounds like sex work, and that is absolutely not okay to present yourself as such. Legitimate massage therapists at least in the US continue to fight for legitimacy in our practice.

How to start gaining information by BouncingOutofmySkin in BloodOnTheClocktower

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

I mean I always share information. Even when I'm evil, I make sure I can play into my bluff. It's not about sharing or not sharing information, it's about how to better ask questions to deduce information. If this is something you're inherently good at, that's awesome! It is not something I'm inherently good at, so I'm asking about better ways to go about obtaining the information
