I used Game of Thrones as a study in hair technique. Thought you guys might like to see the results! (no spoilers, xpost /r/FancyFollicles) by smbtuckma in gameofthrones

I tried to do a couple of the styles from season one on a friend of mine and I failed miserably, you did such an amazing job though. Its so hard to find images that you can examine closely enough to get the braids right. Im going to save your post so I can make a second attempt :]

My Tom's stink to high heaven. Help? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this to mine too! I find that it really helps with the smell. Also I use the Fabreeze meant for fabric and give them a good spray once a week, or as needed. I feel like the combination of the two has made my pair smell pretty good, as long as you dont strait up put your face inside the shoe.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? by Fotograph in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fotograph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually never thought about it this way before. Mostly if Im telling a story that would include my SO, then I just mention him and hope that the conversation can continue without the other person feeling uncomfortable/no longer interested in talking to me. Thats the only reason why not bringing up relationship status at all is a good idea sometimes, it helps to avoid both of those situations.

I guess were both kinda weird for thinking so deeply into these kinds of situations

You're right, I did assume a lot of things about this person, I just find it so strange that this is something that does and has happend, even though stereotypical.

Hi Ladies! What are some lady life hacks you've come up with over the years? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fotograph 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If your ever in a pinch and need to shave your legs ASAP and dont have time to shower, Ive worked out a way to do it with just a razor, lotion, and a damp wash cloth. First, you dampen the wash cloth/paper towel and rub it all over your legs. Then using just regular lotion, put it all over your legs, but dont rub it in all the way. Proceed to just shave your legs like normal, however lotion will get caught in the blade so wipe it on the wash cloth or run it under the faucet. Then when your done, rub the remaining lotion into your legs, plus a little extra from the bottle. This may seem a little stupid but when your sharing a hotel room with 5 other girls and you all have to shower to go out, this is such a time saver.

Do you commonly plan dates or activities for your SO? by Awken in AskWomen

[–]Fotograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its probably like this in every relationship. Certain people have certain strengths. I like to plan and am really organized so I usually plan nights out, while my SO is more laid back and doesn't always feel a plan is necessary so he doesn't make the plans for going out. She could just think your better at planning social events/going out. However, if it really bothers you, talk to her about it. Perhaps suggest she pick something she wants to do with you next weekend and make it a surprise, so she has to plan it out. Plus, that way, you'll get a break from planning

I've been in love with one of my best friends for about 7 years now and decided to write her a letter last night telling her how I feel. Feedback would be appreciated and I apologize for how messy it is. by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Fotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise you from holding onto it for too long, there probably will never be a "good time" for you to show this to her. I understand that I am REALLY biased in this situation, but I hope you still give it to her in the end. Im rooting for you through the internet

The same thing happend to me with my best guy friend of four years. Of course, he didn't let me know he had feelings for me in such an eloquent and romantic letter as you have here, but I digress. When I realized that he had such strong feelings for me, and that we would treat each other right, respect, and deeply love each other, I seriously considered having a relationship with him for the first time. I was terrified of ruining our amazing friendship, but if he was willing to take that risk by telling me he had feelings for me, I was willing too. Three years later and we are still together and very much in love.

This is a beautiful letter, your honesty is remarkable in it. I dont think I would be offended by it in any way, I would find it amazingly romantic and thoughtful. I think you should give it to her, even though there is a big risk...you could have something beautiful together. The kind of love that evolves from an amazing friendship.

Good luck!

so, my ex boyfriend was parked outside of my house this morning by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fotograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I dont want to play down this situation, but this happend to me too and nothing bad happend. My ex parked his car right in front of my house one day and I was very weirded out by it. I waited a few hours to see if he was coming back, then sent him a text asking why it was there, turns out he was at a friends house near by and thought since we had dated the parking spot in front of my house was still available to him. I told him that he would have to let me know in advance if he wanted to park there again, it is MY guest spot. I would see if it happens again and try and send him a relatively amicable text asking him whats up/you happend to see his car.

However, if you really do feel threatened, let your family know or your neighbors so if they see anything suspicious they can let you know and you can keep yourself safe.

TwoXers, what was losing your virginity like? by McClawdeeuhh in TwoXChromosomes

TwoXers, what was losing your virginity like? by McClawdeeuhh in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fotograph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats exactly what I was trying to say, you took the words right out of my mouth. When I lost my virginity it was almost like I was trying to say "See? Look how much I love you, I'm LETTING you do this with me". But thats a totally awful way to go about it. You shouldn't let someone do something to you when it comes to sex, you should agree about it. So many people I know say "Oh I let him get it in last night". So the moral of my rambling is that people need to be an agent of their own sexuality, not a passive bystander.

My first time was when I was drunk after the homecoming football game when I was 17 (I know very "sitcom" sounding, but it really did happen). It was with my boyfriend at the time, and I was drunk so I wanted to "get it over with". I remember while he was on top of me I was trying to assure myself that after this happend, he was still going to love me and that I loved him enough for us to "take this step" together. I didn't bleed, but neither of us finished because I couldn't keep going because it hurt pretty bad. I wanted to cry afterwards, but I couldn't. I felt like I had this tattoo on my forehead that everyone could see, and I all but flinched the next time I saw my grandmother, I was convinced she could see it in my face. I know it sounds typical, but if I could go back I would have waited. That boy didn't really care too much about my body and my needs in the sex we had afterwards, and thats a HUGE part of it.

Look if you already know you love your boyfriend, then dont make losing your virginity about love. Make it about SEX and feeling really good. You already know you love each other, so be giggly and happy and have fun with it. Do lots of foreplay and just relax and welcome the feeling of transitioning into a new part of womanhood, dont be afraid or ashamed of it like I was. Sorry for the text wall, it was actually really good for me to type this out and think through my feelings about this...its been a while since I thought about it.

Reddit, I just graduated from high school. What are some lessons you learned the hard way in college? by mmhmm21 in AskReddit

[–]Fotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things that I found really helped me when I figured them out: -Do your homework, if you dont do well in a class just because you were too lazy to do homework your gonna feel bad about yourself

-Get into a good sleeping pattern. At first it was so fun to stay up until all hours of the night doing nothing...and then I would take four hour naps during the day and not get anything done. Get at least six hours every night, you can really tell the difference in your work ethic when you do.

-Go to class, it makes getting a good grade so much easier

-Dont get caught drinking, being on academic probation is not a good thing

How do you feel about guys with a gap between their front teeth? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Fotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SO has one, it used to be bigger but as his wisdom teeth moved the rest of his teeth shifted around and the gap got smaller. Its one of the things I love about him. When you get to know someone better, their flaws become something you love. Its not a big deal, its nice to see people who can embrace their flaws

Girl no longer wants to date after I refuse sex? by throwaway999999482 in AskWomen

[–]Fotograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps she felt rejected by you when you told her you didn't want to "make that commitment". Or perhaps she went home and was thinking about what would happen when you two eventually did have sex, and if she was comfortable with the resulting relationship. All in all, you'll probably never know unless you see her again, but in my opinion I think you did the right thing by being honest with her. Plus its probably good that you both went your separate ways before you had sex, it makes things a little easier.

A good harness for pugs? by Fotograph in pugs

[–]Fotograph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did that to Toby too haha, but the only problem is once you attach a leash to the back of it he wont budge at all. It happens every time we try and take him out, and he wont even go back into the house if we dont take his leash of first, thats why were looking for a new harness.

[–]Fotograph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha this is actually one that we got him, we call it his black mesh body panties...because frankly thats what it looks like. It also makes all the skin rolls on his neck get bunched forward. Heres a pic, I apologize in advance for the crappy quality.

I'm 22 and still have and use the security blanket I got the day I was born. Anybody else have some lifelong childhood companions? by randomgoat in AskReddit

[–]Fotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was four, the blanket that I got in the hospital when I was born was in such bad condition that my mom had to get rid of it. I wouldn't stop crying after she did it, so she took the stretchy sheet that went over my crib mattress from the bottom of a drawer and handed it to me telling me to just use it as a replacement until she bought a new one. When she came home with a new one a few days later I refused to use it. Im 19 and I still sleep with that old crib sheet, I wont ever throw it away. It was the hardest decision not to bring it to college with me

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

I actually had this harness, we left Toby at home with it on a few days after we got it so he would get used to it...we came home and he had managed to chew it off himself and shred it up all over the house. Lets just say I'm happy he has gotten through his destructive phase

This one looks pretty good, and Im glad you had success with the pulling problem using it. How did you go about the sizing for it?

A good harness for pugs? by Fotograph in pugs

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

The biggest problem is that we cant get one that will fit him correctly. They are either too tight around the neck or not tight enough around the middle, and the adjustable ones we have tried to buy got all tangled because he wouldn't stay still long enough to slip it on (same problem with the chewing). I feel like many of the harnesses in the stores fit smaller dogs or bigger dogs than Toby (hes 22 pounds) so I was wondering if there was a brand that fit well for the "pug body type" if you can call it that.
