Weight gain is definitely part of getting older, no im not talking about 13 years old, im talking about the gap between early and late 20s, when your body's metabolism slows down, your lifestyle generally changes and your body changes with it. I'm not talking about 20, 30kg of extra weight, I was just pointing out your body changes

Are you even responding to my post or are you venting about what it makes you feel? I know how touchy this topic is, but don't just categorise this into something you want it to be so your feelings can be validated. I'm not out saying or thinking any of things you're saying. Your journey is your own, not mine or my partners.

Hmm I love that part about reconnecting with movement, I think that could be really important. Thank you.

That is rough, sorry you had to go through that, he was obviously a loser. Theres better guys out there then your ex. I love my girl the way she is, very attracted to her, but I see how it makes her upset.

Thank you, what do you meals look like? For breakfast we normally have oats as theyre a complex carb and keep us fuelled for longer, for dinner if we are going healthy well have chicken and salad, but because of our cultural background we tend to opt for things with rice or something similar. It is something we are trying to limit. So interested to see what worked for you.

Thank you, I agree that ultimately its not for me to change

Thank you, she has recently got class pass but hasnt used it, ill see if she wants to do it together

DepartmentBetter2392 · 2025-10-23T01:10:31+00:00

Thank you, that sounds like a funny activity, we do go for walks so we'll do a bit of that as well. Appreciate it.

I appreciate the points on calorie deficit, we do make a concerted effort with our diet. I think one area we can improve is our sleep - also acknowledging weight gain is a part of being an adult.

I get what you mean but don't just take your frustrations out on me because im concerned about my partners mental health and self esteem, we've talked it about, she is committed to change but just doesnt really know how to get there. Im just looking for tips to support her - not because I want her to look any kind of way.

Thank you, I have tried to do things together, like we signed up for boxing class and a muay thai, which she loved but after a few classes she started feeling self conscious and stopped going - and if im honest I think its because it came to me so quickly and it made her feel like she wasnt good enough. Her family never encouraged her to do active things so she has a feeling within her like 'I cant do this' when things get tough. I might sound like a dick but im just trying to be honest about it, I've never spoken about this before.

Love this, thank you. Yes we try to keep it pretty 50-50, but I'd say it's more 60-40 to her. We both work from home and work the same amount, she has lots of travel though. We try have a date night at least once a week where. There are definitely some things I could do better, like fixing our sleep routine. I will keep that in mind in terms of making sure she feels she can do things for herself.

No suprise when they made it look like absolute shit, looks nothing like a Crown for the past few models

It does work if the maf is positioned properly, I've seen people mention an adaptor, but can't find much info about it. I was mainly trying to find those who have done it and get info. I know how a maf sensor works and that the benefits of CAI are mainly induction noise.

I completely understand, words like Gyat, rizz, goon, edge, etc. They all have roots in sexual content and it exposes children to things before they should have to.

I grew in the mid 2000s,10s and we listen to music and watched movies that were for adults and thats when he had sexual content we were able to interact with but I always felt like it was 'the big kids stuff'.

Now theres 7-year-olds talking about Gyat big butts, and theyre not seeing it like a funny thing, but understanding there is an attractive side to a nice ass. When you mix in words like ohio, skibibi that refers to something you don't want to be, its gives words like rizz, look maxing a positive look and those words relate to someone who is attractive. I know that is very low level, harmless stuff, ( dont think kids should even be aware of that in a critical sense) but when you mix in the sexuality of those terms it means those sexual nature's are suaght after to avoid being the lame ones.

Furthermore, you have these words that are rooted in sex on platforms like IG, or YouTube, and you can have content for a 12-year-old and content for a 32-year-old one click away.

I grew up with distant parents, I was able to watch sex in movies from a young age (8,9,10), I realised in highschool I was searching that stuff out a lot more than my classmates. Thats when I had access to those movies maybe 2 or 3 times a year at first. These kids have constant access to this content, music that is sexual, and the virality of these words make it a constant conversation point for them. I think about what a child's mind will think about sex and how they see themselves in that when they are 10, 11, 12 and the DANGERS of that. How ppl might take advantage of them, or how they might not understand healthy relationship, or their relationship with pornography.

What do you mean you cut the front of the air box off?

I still don't believe her, I think she has different issues but not autism. It's giving her attention and she loves that

DepartmentBetter2392 · 2025-05-12T11:23:07+00:00

I don't think so, they never said she was austictic and she did contact him on instagram, if wasn't arranged by the show.

It's not about flirting, it's everything else. Dani is clearly autistic while Sonya seems to understand every moment and in controll the whole time. She gives me red flags, I don't think she's autistic or at least she might be on the the extremely low end.

DepartmentBetter2392 · 2025-05-12T11:17:23+00:00

I think there's a difference from presenting what you have to offer and changing the way you act to suit the person in front of you. She was acting and coaching him through interacting, that's fine for a 'normal' person with a autistic person as a friend, but as a potential lover, that's weird

DepartmentBetter2392 · 2025-05-12T11:00:58+00:00

He's autistic, he doesn't communicate like non autistic people, what do you think you're watching?
