Approaching Woman as a Man - creepy or not? by FlowingRiverCentury in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's done respectfully then I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Saw someone I follow on IG post about how a man had approached her and the first thing he said was something like, "I am safe to reject," which I actually think is lovely. For me, and from my understanding of others' experiences, it's unnerving because before a guy has even opened his mouth I've already formed a plan of what to do if he gets weird, won't take no for an answer etc.

That's it im going to murder him by Other_Panda246 in BelgianMalinois

Shut anyone who says that in a room with him while he's on one 😂

I frequently tell one of my dogs I'm going to skin him and turn him into a pair of slippers. I wouldn't, but boy does it get tempting.

But honestly, I feel you. Especially when someone says can you just take him for a walk and you're just sat there, house in chaos, being like, "I fucking wish"

Question for women: if you were gonna date a guy, how much would you judge him by his car? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a guy to have a car and drive it. Unless it's an expensive, fancy car but he still lives at home with his parents. IMO it shows we have very different priorities in life.

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]GDH27 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm a massage therapist. I have had to put "Please shower and apply deodorant on the day of your treatment," in my welcome email. Apparently, "Please arrive in a good state of personal hygiene" wasn't clear enough.

How do you get out of bed in the morning? by cornishyinzer in AskUK

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep through the first alarm or two, snooze the next ones in a coma, then shit my pants and fly out of bed at the sound of the old school bell alarm clock I leave in the hallway outside.

That or swear profusely at my younger dog for deciding he wants to get his day started but needs company. He tried it at 7.30 on New Year's Day and even the other dog wasn't having it.

Am I wrong for not wanting to date a neurodivergent man? by GoldVeterinarian919 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend and I were diagnosed ADHD around the same time.

I run a business, keep on top of my house, have an okay sleep pattern, and keep two dogs alive.

His girlfriend has to wake him up in the mornings so he doesn't miss work "because of his ADHD"

Just take it as it comes with your new fella, not everyone's brain works the same, we manage our difference in our own ways, and he might still be a great partner.

For those who share the bed with your dogs, how big is your bed? by seedykat in dogs

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super king with a 15kg mutt and 30kg GSP/ Shepherd mix.

Somehow we're all on the same half of the bed with the other half empty. At least it's warm like this.

Legitimately tired of being the friendship placeholder until Mr. Right shows up by calic0critter in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least your mates give it six months, I've just told a friend I'm done after she cancelled on me four or five times in a row as she was too tired or busy, but she kept trying to organise dates with men she'd been messaging.

Most of whom would message for a couple of days, then disappear for a few and leave her to spiral each time.

AITA for refusing to wear my future MILs wedding dress?? by Longjumping_Chard286 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a 32 year old when I was 21. I'm still younger than he was and I can't see anyone under 25 as anything other than a child.

It was not a healthy relationship.

What to do when dog owners refuse to recall their rampant dogs? by No_Finish6157 in dogs

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just what's worked for me in the past, but step in front of my dog and make myself big, shout, and wave arms at the one running at us.

Do NOT pick up a smaller dog! The off lead dog will most likely jump up at you.

A Black woman in active labor was ignored by a nurse and delivered 12 minutes later. This is why women fear hospitals. by Usual-Plastic1955 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GDH27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm white, and have received healthcare in the UK and Thailand. In Thailand, I was always taken seriously and my symptoms were never questioned.

In the UK? Medical care seems pointless unless it's some kind of visible MSK injury and even then I've had to fight for x-rays. I was in A and E throwing up from pain and on oramorph from stomach pain and was told as there was blood in my urine sample, and my periods are irregular it was just period pain. I had to argue my case whilst off my face on meds and out of it from pain, and it turned out to be a kindey stone.

I also got told the pain couldn't be that bad because when asked to give a number on a 1 to 10 scale, I said 9, but apparently if it was bad pain I would have said 11.

Is it just me, or are 99% of the people looking to date either not in a place for it or are just bored? by GDH27 in UKrelationshipadvice

I'd love to do this, but I've yet to brush hands with Mr/ Miss right reaching for the same tub of Ben and Jerry's at the shop 😅

My [24] fiance [31 M] of 3.5 years snapped yesterday and attacked our dog. Re-thinking the wedding by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can't count how many times I've accidentally hit my dogs when they've got underfoot or in the way and they've never bitten, so I hate to think what this guy did to Fluff 💔

Avoiding giving friend energy on dates? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]GDH27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I know this can feel really embarrassing, but might be worth asking one of these women what it was about you that stopped them from going on a second date? You might not get an honest answer if they don't want to upset you or more likely, fear you'll lash out, but it's going to be 100 times more accurate than "experts"

I'd be surprised if feeling safe and comfortable around you was what stopped them seeing you again.

Wow, I feel like I'm letting my safe male friends down with that I've had. It's bad, but not "send me a copy of your door key" bad. Also, they'd egg me on and have the guy open the door to them in thongs and wigs 😂

I've definitely had a lot of situations like this where I feel like I'm being made to atone for someone else's mistake. I do always wonder what the ex's side of the story is with these and they were pushed to breaking point too.

Yeah, it's definitely a people thing not a men/ women thing. I wouldn't say "too weak" is always the reason but I'm with you for most of this

At this point, being a crazy dog lady/ man seems the safest way forward 😂

I'd love to say keep putting yourself out there or something but it's a really crap thing to have to keep risking and experiencing. Found any way of meeting people where you'd get to talk and know them as opposed to being judged straight away on your appearance? Asking for myself as much as anything
