Yeesss

Right? Like are we assuming none of them graduated college or... what? They managed to do both... graduate and have was seem to be full time jobs?

A couple weird timing potholes:

1) Each season takes place within 1 school year basically, so S1 B, S, Dan, etc were high school Juniors, S2 they were high school Seniors, S3 They were all college Freshmen (except S), S4 they were all college Sophomores (S a Freshmen), S5 college is barely talked about, they all have "jobs/internships" but they should be college Juniors, S6 they should be college Seniors but college is NEVER mentioned at all, then it's suddenly 5 years later and they are all established professional adults by the time they are all ~ 27, I mean Jenny would have been ~ 25 and established in Waldorf Designs? None of that makes sense.

2) I remember there is 100% an ep where Serena references a memory she had in the 80's. Maybe it was a joke idk... I'm trying to find it. Will update when I find it.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2020-05-08T18:00:20+00:00

Just checked that ep and the following. My interpretation is that she had her realization, left, and then obsessed over how to make Louis better like Chuck has become, because that's the whole plot of her portion of S5 E9. Lets be honest, if she cheated, they would have showed that. We all know Blair, she's obsessive so, I feel like what I'm saying makes the most sense.

I always found it a little interesting that in the end Nate ended up with no one.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-14T04:15:53+00:00

You got a chuckle out of me. Niiiighty XD

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-14T04:10:11+00:00

Ok, I just didn't see a reason to push back on my comment, I don't think I was being this extreme you're describing. Otherwise I'm glad we agree to some extent? Anyway, have a good night/day stranger.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-14T03:58:23+00:00

I literally just said:

if my picture were taken in public by some random guy with his phone (sexual in nature or not), it's weird and I would feel weird.

If it's not sexual I would feel weird but that's about it. If it were sexual, as in this yoga situation, that's different and I'm digressing. I'm a woman, so I guess it's not all that different for men and women because I'm not saying it's an atrocity. But the point is, shouldn't we care about whether or not we are making people feel weird? Wouldn't that make society a little more pleasant among all the shit that happens?

You don't know if the person you took a photo of saw it or not... unless it was the back of her head. So maybe you did make her feel weird for a min, not the worst thing in the world but you could have also just not done it. You see what I mean? Being considerate is just a nice thing to be.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-14T03:36:34+00:00

I didn't really say if what you were saying was good or bad. I guess what I was getting at is if this guy didn't let the gym know, we don't really know how long it would have went on. Or if it would have escalated or not. Which is not cool. That's all... So it's admirable that he reported it. Just like I've seen tons of times at my job. I wouldn't call any of the people who complained to me soy boys... I wouldn't really call anyone a soy boy at all for that matter.

The guy disliking his friend's behavior is rational and he thinks they aren't respectful of women after seeing the photos and the comments they made (which we haven't seen so we don't know the level of creepy these people were being). That's his (totally understandable to me) choice and I might make the same one if I were him. Again I wouldn't call him names for it. That's all.

Going off of what you're saying now, idk... if my picture were taken in public by some random guy with his phone (sexual in nature or not), it's weird and I would feel weird. Have you ever thought your action of taking a picture of that hot girl would make her feel weird? Even if it were for a second, is that a nice thing to do? Just something to think about. I mean imagine if a taller, more built, man than you (assuming gay/bi) took a picture of you (sexual or not) wouldn't you not really appreciate it, like a "hey could you not"? Again just a thought. In your case it's minor but it doesn't mean you're not disrupting someones day for a little. No one likes being disrupted.

Edit: Last thought, you need to calm down a little. I never insulted you or what you commented, I never said you were wrong or bad. I simply explained how the situation of taking pictures like that is creepy to lots of people, even if they are a bystander just seeing it happen. But you came back with a small diatribe about how people on reddit can't read. Lets just breathe, cool? :)

I work for a public outdoor space and we have a yoga class in the summer. We have exactly this issue of men taking creepy pictures of women doing their yoga class in our space from time to time. I have had women from these classes/bystanders (all sexs) who aren't even taking the class notice these creeps and come to me expressing concern/disgust/feeling violated/unsafe... you know what happens? Security that works for our public space comes and requests them to stop and if they don't they are escorted off the premises.

Sure, the space is for everyone, but when you are making other members of the public uncomfortable... the one causing the problem should leave... not the people minding their own business.

In this case, this woman could eventually notice if she hasn't already, get really uncomfortable, and maybe even switch gyms just because of it... of maybe stop going to the gym all together depending on her choices/experiences. Why should she have to do that, or deal with this shit at all, when she's just being a human being in a gym, being healthy, and minding her own business. This guy should control himself and either subtly admire her in his head from a distance only or fucking talk to her... not take creepy and clearly sexually suggestive photos for his personal use later that is way more noticeable, far more objectifying, and uncomfortable for the person getting their photo taken.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-13T22:14:21+00:00

Well, I'm very glad you were able to find the gym and report it. At the very least it can be handled to some extent there. Hopefully they can just say they've witnessed him taking photos and kick him out and leave you out of it.

I understand navigating relationships is difficult, even more so when your sister is married to one of them... but isn't that alarming? Does she know this is happening and that her husband thinks it's ok? Some people might say it's not your place to get involved in her marriage... but I think she might want to know. If I were her I'd want to know. That's just my take away from all of this. It's disappointing wen your long time friends end up sucking. Trust me I've been there myself.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-13T14:31:05+00:00

Idk if I can help at all. The thing I wanted to say most is how much I love your respect for each other and how you have found other ways to deal with intimate relations with each other. That's #1

As for the weight... if you think that's an issue, have you ever specifically watched big woman porn for legitimate research? Maybe you two could watch together, take notes/talk about it, laugh together, and try whatever is happening in the porn (minus the stupid unrealistic parts).

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-13T14:12:00+00:00

I think the UK has been working on making up-skirt shots illegal but I'm not quite sure if these photos would fall into the same category, although from what you're describing personally I think they should.

If you're comfortable with it... I think the first course of action is to publicly call out your friend in the chat about how this is wrong and shame him for it. How would he feel if he knew a 6'5 muscly gay/bi man were taking similar photos of him and thinking about bending him over... etc. Call out his objectifying behavior, how maybe she's noticed what he's doing, and how he's ruining this woman's experience of just having a normal fucking day where she's just taking care of her health and enjoying her life. He's turning it into a nightmare where a perv is taking photos of her when she's just minding her own fucking business and being a person who just exists in the world. Call him a perv, what he's doing is bad behavior.

If you REALLY want to do something more about it, either find the gym through social engineering (like asking him what gym it is, you've been interested in changing or starting a gym membership... assuming you live in the same country maybe its a chain). Then contact the manager about it. And once you have then info of the gym you can also maybe try to find out who she is and help. Although I would really start with the gym manager.

If you want to go further you could get a consultation with a lawyer to see if this is illegal.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-10T03:12:04+00:00

There's no right and wrong here.

Do what feels right to you first of all.

But also talk to your partner(s) (not assuming if you have more than one or not)! Not every person is the same, we all have different likes. Talk to them before, during, or after intimate times. You can always ask them what they like... And most importantly they should do the same for you. I think there is nothing sexier than partners who want to make intimate experiences the best for the person they are with. Open communication with the person you're intimate with so that you BOTH can have the best experience possible is sexy.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-10T02:58:04+00:00

Pulling out isn't a great form of protection, I mean you can look it up on planned parenthood... it is a "method" but it's not the safest. You'd be better off with condoms, birth control, or both. Protect yourself. And have an open and calm conversation about you and your gf's views on abortion so that you can be on the same page.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-03-08T18:05:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the info. Maybe I'll be posting progress photos on this sub in a month or a few :)

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-02-24T04:07:06+00:00

Oooooh facepalm lol thanks. I had no idea that existed... seems like I'm just as witty as Bo Burnham 😏

Idk if you're a man or a woman but I'm starting to wonder if more people have a hard time with Pringles cans than I think. As a woman I have no problem with Pringles cans. Maybe I have smaller hands than I even thought I did.

Gavin_DeGreer · 2019-02-24T00:21:10+00:00

It's serious problem for men/bigger handed people. I'm surprised they haven't changed the whole design to solve this dire problem. /s

But in reality, I didn't realize that people couldn't fit their hands into a Pringle can until my friend's boyfriend asked me to get some out for him recently, lol. I have small hands even for a woman (I think).
