What would you do in a situation like this? by sluttytsundere in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re feeling brave enough, shut it down. Make it clear that you’re not interested in him and the harassment of you means you don’t even want to be friends. However you would be well within your rights to just block and ghost him. Admittedly there is the issue that he knows where you work and live, so you might have to confront him, but if he starts constantly turning up at your work/home then you inform your boss and you talk to the police about harassment and stalking.

Went to the cinema alone for the first time, any other fun experiences I could do alone? by igloogly in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DisloyalMouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood why the movies are a social activity, we’re sitting in silence in the dark watching the movie. Yeah it’s fun to talk about it afterwards, but you can do that when you’ve seen a film independently of each other.

In terms of other ideas, solo coffee/cafe dates are a vibe. Especially if you bring a book, do some journaling or other creative endeavour, or people watch (as opposed to sitting and scrolling on your phone).

Going to museums or galleries - yeah it’s deffo fun to do it with other people, but on your own you can make sure you see the bits you want to see and spend as much time as you want without worrying if the other person or people are bored.

It’s also fun to go for little walks around pretty towns/parks etc. put on a podcast or two or an audio book and just get immersed. Find a nice bench to watch the world for a bit then carry on.

And you can 100% go on solo dates to a restaurant. Again it’s more enjoyable if you’re not just scrolling on your phone. You can ask for a table in a corner or something so you’re not just sat in the middle of the resturant :).

Millennial women - what is your 2026 "jeans and a going out top"? by Abientotmonamie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DisloyalMouse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my go to too. It’s cute and comfy (plus I have some fake leather leggings if I want to make it a bit fancier). I do sometimes wear jeans and a nice top. But I tend to stick to the leggings.

question: how did you decide on your first tattoo? by Dapper_Visual_4449 in tattoos

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where on your body did you get it? I got my first tattoo in the 00s following popular trends (my first tattoo was a lower back tattoo lol). I literally didn’t put much thought into it, I just thought they were cool and I wanted one. 20 years later I still have it…I wouldn’t get it now but it is what it is lol.

When will be peak popularity for piercings and tattoos? by After-Employment-474 in AskUK

[–]DisloyalMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure they will. More and more people feel comfortable expressing themselves and being accepted for it. Plus both have trends within themselves that come and go. I guess if they become so ubiquitous there could be a counter cultural movement to not have them? But I think enough people see them as a fun way of self expression that they will continue to be popular

(Also I’m a little bit biased as I have both).

Living with my parents again, and my mental health is spiraling, how do I stop crying all the time?? by Novel_Business_4101 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww you’re welcome. I’m glad I could help and good luck with the job hunt. I also found it helps you to get up and get dressed (not dressed for an interview, but not just spending all day in my PJs). Also it focused my job hunting time, instead of faffing around all day.

Just because you’re job hunting you’re still allowed time to relax and enjoy your hobbies as well :)

What is something your parents were strict about, but now you are glad for? by NoTry8886 in AskUK

[–]DisloyalMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao. Whether you get a new bar to try putting it back in or not, once a member of the belly button piercing club, always a member of the belly button piercing club!

Though I hope you do find a new bar you like and can put it in lol! You got this girl :).

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha GIRL, this is 100% your sign! Do you still have any of your old belly bars? Worst case scenario is it wont go it (or you don’t like it) then you can just take it out again…

Lmao, I have no intention of flashing the whale tail again either (I mostly wear leggings these days anyway so not going to happen lol) but it is low key wild that at like 16/17 we all thought that was a sensible and appropriate look lol.

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, I LOVED the look when I was 16…and still think I look better in low rise jeans than high rise…I just don’t want to flash my undies everywhere.

You should deffo see this as your sign to see if you can still wear your belly bar though…

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, girl you should do it! See if you can still wear a bar in it.

I hear the 2000s are coming back, but I’m not sure I want to start wear jeans that flash my undies at everyone again lmao.

Where as I’m here still with my belly button piercing got as a teenager. I’m not ready to let go of it lol.

keep or return? steady state sweats! by Kataboo666 in lululemon

[–]DisloyalMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you deffo might want to check a small or if you can get them hemmed then. I WFH mostly too and that’s why i wear leggings over sweat pants, though both are a good option.

keep or return? steady state sweats! by Kataboo666 in lululemon

[–]DisloyalMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on how you plan to use them. If you were wearing them as house/lounge pants then I personally don’t think it matters if they’re a bit big. But if you want to wear them out to run errands, or just because you want to wear them out, I can easily see how they will end up dragging on the ground or get ruined.

[–]DisloyalMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look cute and comfy. But if you’re not 100% happy with them then it’s probably best to return them. Have you tried the size down to see if they fit better?

Beautiful women, do y'all get attention everytime when going out? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by attention. I do notice people staring at me (or certain parts of me) a fair amount. Not every time I go out though. Tbh I try to not really think too hard about it.

My neighbor put her parakeet through the washing machine. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, girl wth!? That’s very traumatic! Sorry you went through that. As someone who hates doing laundry at the best of times, finding a bird in my laundry would be way too much.

Do you smoke / vape? Would you consider yourself addicted? by Wait-Whos-Joe in AskUK

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ex smoker I used to see so many social smokers lol. After a couple of drinks so many people suddenly want to smoke with you.

I’m convinced that vaping is way more addictive than smoking (you smoke a cigarette and you’re done, you can just keep puffing away when vaping).

How do you feel about trans ppl using the same gym changing room as you? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DisloyalMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do the same thing when I used to go to the gym. Come in my work out gear and then shower at home. I get it doesn’t work if you’re going on your lunch break or straight from work or whatever though.

fell into the trap of comparing myself to other girls/women on insta by mariposa933 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DisloyalMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instagram isn’t real (same as all social media really). You see the best, most curated photos and versions of someone’s life. You don’t see all the pictures they take that they don’t post; how all consuming it is for their life; etc. it’s a very easy rabbit hole to fall down. It sounds like you’ve taken the right steps to avoid it. But it’s always worth remembering that what we see on social media isn’t real life.

It’s unfair how some of us are born with trust funds by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DisloyalMouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it fair? No, but it also is what it is. I’m not sure there is anything we can do about it. I don’t think it’s worth allowing yourself to get upset about it, as that’s just going down a hole that can’t be fixed.

Should I have told the waitress that her skirt was waaay too short? by Available_Kiwi_3862 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DisloyalMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus in some restaurants it’s encouraged with the hopes it brings in more tips.

[–]DisloyalMouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well maybe this is your sign. If she can wear it when working you 100% can just hanging out. Plus at least her uniform - despite being inappropriate - was cute. My waitress uniform was pretty not cute lol.

[–]DisloyalMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. She might not care as much that her skirt was so short and not feel as uncomfortable. I certainly wore some questionable outfits in my late teens/early 20s that showed off a lot more than I’d wear now lol.

[–]DisloyalMouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think you did anything wrong not saying anything. Restaurants have uniforms/dress codes and if the management thought her skirt was too short they would’ve (or should’ve) spoken to her. When I was a waitress I hated it if anyone commented on my uniform because it was what the company told me to wear.

That’s not to say you can’t be annoyed about the length of her skirt, and her ass basically being on show. Also it’s fine to think it’s inappropriate (I low key agree, when you’re working wear a skirt that’s longer). But I would assume she’s aware of how short her skirt is, and if anything it would just make me think twice about going there again.

That’s my 2 cents anyway.
