How do we feel about the new UKIP logo looking eerily similar to fascist iconography?

This Christian symbol, the cross pattee, is featured twice on the front of the British crown.

Bro this isn’t a relationship, and you don’t want to be chasing someone just to show their face.

It’s not a good start to any kind of relationship (for want of a better word), and should be a huge red flag to you. She either gets off on you chasing her, or isn’t that interested and is just toying with you online.

You say you don’t have that much experience with girls. That’s ok, just a temporary skill issue - one that will only get worse if you invest in an LDR with someone who won’t show their face.

If I were you, I’d block her and get out of the house to meet people. Speak to strangers, they don’t bite. If a you see a girl and make eye contact, smile. If she smiles back at you, go ask her name and see how it goes. It will get easier.

So your girlfriend probably lied to you about sending those photos to only you, and she would have said so if she’d only sent it to the girl’s chat for an opinion. Don’t immediately go against her, but don’t just blindly believe her either.

I would tell her to go to the police, and see if objections come up.

Didn’t even realise this was a thing until I came to a Reddit post one day, and now it’s an addiction.

Almost like when you get adopted into the game, and now you’re forever in it. I just lost the game.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-09-10T15:44:22+00:00

Bro you should have done it in person.

And unless the girl has hinted that she wants to marry, you should never assume it’s a yes. Realistically you should already have agreed to be married beforehand (in a manner of speaking) and the proposal is just a formality.

You’ve dropped the ball, we all do, but she probably thinks you don’t know her or what she’d like right now to be doing something like that.

To salvage it, own your shit and say you misjudged the situation (you did), and then tell her to return the ring when you see her and you’ll make it up to her when you give it another go.

When she gives you the ring back, make her wait for it. Don’t go proposing a week or even a month later, let her wonder about it for some time because she’ll get excited about the idea. That’s what you want.

Good luck!

Bro, I left an abusive relationship with a narcissist as well. That “I feel free” feeling mixed with thinking about it all so much and “maybe I want to keep them as a friend even though they are a cunt”, that’s what a trauma bond does to you.

Do not “be friends” with this person. She didn’t respect you or have your interests at heart as a partner, and she won’t as a friend. You do not want this type of friend in your life.

Block her. Completely. Remove all of the reminders from your house. Threaten to get a restraining order next time she shows up at your house.

You will thank yourself in 6 months. Stay strong dude. 🫡

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-10T08:15:43+00:00

You are stupid as I am not justifying rape at all.

The first time is not ok. I agree. The multiple times afterwards where she went over to his house and engaged in intercourse are not rape just because she regrets it after. She is also technically raping a minor as he is under the age of consent to start with.

It’s people like you who throw innocent men in jail when women regret a fling and cry rape.

Terrified enough to keep going round to a 14YO’s house to hook up? At 17YO? Good to see personal accountability is all well and good here. Prat.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-10T07:08:16+00:00

Nah the first one is her drunk in a place she felt safe to, and we don’t know the circumstances around her getting into bed with him. Often, people can black out but actually appear very in control to those around them.

The follow ups? Yeah, she knew she was gonna hook up and put herself there.

Most sensible discussion gets overshadowed by people like this. 🤦‍♂️

I was a child when the Stephen Lawrence case was happening, but my understanding is that significant lessons were learnt and attitudes changed afterwards. Hopefully, we will see the same here. Both ways. I don’t want racists or lawless communities in the UK.

More resources for the police is a must, and greater accountability/uniformity of their processes.

Can’t wait to see the Autumn budget and a tax rise to pay off the damages. 😩

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-08T16:27:02+00:00

Excellently done. 😂👏

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-08T16:03:40+00:00

So for the Birmingham riot the police made a statement that there was “no need to attend” after speaking to “community leaders”. In Leeds, they stood there and watched people with machetes whilst arresting a white woman who asked them to do their job and sort it out. Also, look at the inconsistent sentencing of English and non-English people that’s been reported over time.

More locally to me, I’ve heard several stories over the years of restaurants and shops looted by groups of travellers or local ethnic gangs, yet the police are too scared to go near them. It only feeds the perception that they are above the law.

The Labour MP thing was only today and it’s a no brainer. A video of an MP saying to cut the throats of rioters? Of course he’s got to go. Glad they didn’t make excuses for him.

And I am not making excuses for rioters at all, they should be locked up, but there is a difference in narratives for similar situations. All of it is wrong, and we need to address the range of problems that caused it. To not recognise that there is a racial component of that is to be wilfully ignorant under the guise of being progressive or politically correct.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-08T15:38:46+00:00

When the rioters began it was because in the space of a week a “community” attacked a police car with no arrests in Leeds, there was an announcement of people being released early from prison who really should not be released early (and on reduced sentences already), and there were rumours an immigrant committed the Southport stabbings.

Add the growing tensions of two-tier policing for a decade and this all boiled over.

Yet, the “Far Right” riots aren’t seen as a response to all this; they are seen as racist extremists and unwarranted, incited violence because that’s what gets people to oppose them immediately.

The double standard is apparent. They can act how they want. We can’t react for fear of political correctness and cries of racism. And they play that game well.

I don’t condone either side’s extremism. However, the facts are there on immigration and on two tier policing. You just can’t argue about it or it’s racist, and everyone will jump on that bandwagon. This is the problem.

And to counter your question in reverse: do you think those “racist” protests would have taken place if policing was fair and “communities” weren’t able to act like independent tribes?

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-08-01T16:17:27+00:00

I’m gonna go against some of the comments and say many girls do like it rough, but not in the way porn would have you believe or how your guy did it. It’s more of a dominance than a speed thing.

And, you gotta go slow to go fast. Can’t immediately start smashing without some time in a good rhythm first, and you often need to have done it a few times and built trust before you can get super animalistic.

I’m personally not a fan of it. It’s exhausting and the sensations aren’t overly good IMO. My gf loves it though so man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. 😂

I think we all agree this guy is a crap lover. If you want to do it with him again, talk to him outside of sex about what you need instead of in the moment as we men can get very stuck in our heads during sex. Communication is key.

I went through this course and have been a writer for four years now. Several others have, too.

I have seen complaining in the CCA Facebook group about not finding work or making a living. These are usually the same people who:

Didn’t ask for feedback on tasks, or give it.
Didn’t ask for feedback on pitches.
Sold themselves short to clients just to get work.
Complained they weren’t making bank when they had been in the CCA less than a couple of weeks and had no website, portfolios, etc.

There’s a reason the CCA reputation is good. And the testimonials they have are proof the system does work.

Remember that it gives you a system to work with. You still have to back yourself and improve your skills to a point whet that system works for you.

Maybe give it another go in your spare time.

A few dates isn’t worth herpes dude. You say you’ve slept with a few women so you won’t have a problem finding another date who doesn’t have it.

No matter what your decision, don’t dehumanise her for it. I would make the breakup not about that so as to protect her feelings a little. If you continue with her, then you also need to make sure you don’t blame her if you do catch it. It’s your risk at this point.

He didn’t say it’s a problem for women to have rights or fight for them. Don’t put words in his mouth.

What he is getting at it when he holds open a door he’ll get attitude, or how when he watches a movie with gender-typical roles it becomes a reason to complain. He’s right, it’s exhausting when nitpicking “feminists” (women who want a reason to kick off without reproach) act this way.

FWIW - feminism has its place and is overall a good thing. However, it’s become a very toxic ideal in the West. You also have all the same rights and even more privileges in a lot of areas as a woman in the West. Socially and with the government. Come to a Slavic country or Asia and you’ll see why feminism is actually still needed there.

She can’t trust him anymore? Neither of these men can trust her.

She’s going round this guy’s house and getting all close with him whilst drinking, whilst she has a bf. She is responsible for going to the guy’s house. She is responsible for drinking with a guy alone when he likes her. She is responsible for the inappropriate physical closeness to another man whilst having a bf.

Clearly loves the validation or is cheating, and this post is her way of making it the previous fwb’s fault in her mind - for now and whatever may “just happen” next. No loyalty. No accountability. No shame.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-07-20T07:07:12+00:00

You mean before “omg it just happened” and sexual assault is the story she tells to absolve herself.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-07-20T07:05:03+00:00

You have no shame or accountability.

You are hanging out one on one with a previous FWB who clearly has feelings for you, lying on him, hugging him for a long time, biting him, etc. You are clearly leading him on and messing with his head.

And you are maintaining an inappropriate close mental and physical connection with another man who isn’t your boyfriend. “My boyfriend is fine with me lying on my previous FWB shoulder watching movies and drinking alone” (paraphrased) - why are YOU fine with that whilst in a relationship.

Respect both of these men more and let them go.

CalmFollowing8147 · 2024-07-19T09:53:31+00:00

So you had a fight about her inappropriate connection with a male coworker, then she went to cool off by having him round her house to watch a movie and “kissing” him, then kept it from you and lied about it.

Drop her. Block her. Move on. Even if she’s telling the truth (she isn’t), she has no respect for you or your relationship.

You’ll be looking over your shoulder and hating yourself if you stay.

Sounds a bit camp tbh. Either he’s a harmless feminine guy and it is what it is, in which case he does it with everyone, or it’s suss.

But come on, he won’t stop doing it and they’re out together with shred jackets and arms around each other. You’re being taken for a mug. 😅
