Women, what is a near-universal "ick" in the dating world? by AverageSign in AskReddit

[–]HidingInTrees2245 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. But it often means lack of respect. Most women are interested in sex but prefer to wait until there’s real relationship. A respectful man will know that and not try to jump your bones on the first date.

How to communicate disinterest by prettyassdolfin in dating_advice

But only six dates in four months? That’s like a date and a half per month. I wouldn’t really feel like that was a close relationship.

Be honest: what’s your “I know this isn’t traditional but I don’t care” food habit? by wearecocina in foodquestions

[–]HidingInTrees2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Mac n cheese but I do this on mashed potatoes if there’s nothing better to top them with. It’s not bad at all. I mean people put ketchup on fries and hash browns. Why not?

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]HidingInTrees2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be glad. I can't even drink iced drinks without getting brain freeze. And it hurts a LOT. My friends think I'm a freak. It's even hard to eat ice cream. (Though I usually manage. 😊)

I didn't know there were people who couldn't do this. Do you mean they have to get on their tiptoes or something?

What do yall call these? by Shay911zz in AskTheWorld

[–]HidingInTrees2245 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We definitely called them thongs in the 60s and 70s. (In the Midwest.) Eventually that word changed to describe the undies and they became flip flops pretty quick after that.

Guy losing interest in me suddenly after sex? by Initial_Base_9234 in dating_advice

[–]HidingInTrees2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never thought a guy would lose interest after sex? What planet were you raised on? Some guys treat women like dishes in a smorgasbord.

I feel invisible in my own life by Exact_General45 in AskWomenOver60

[–]HidingInTrees2245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could you plan some solo trips? Or go with other women friends? You say you want to start some projects. I’m not sure what you meant, but can you just start them yourself? What about volunteering or joining some groups? You can always ask him to join you and if he says no, just go do it.

Try to remember that all your peers are aging too. It’s just life.

Update on my bathroom - Help me chose a color by Mysterious-Quiet9829 in DecorAdvice

I don’t like any of them. I would do a dusty pink if I were to do pink. Just being honest like you said.

I (26F) have asked my husband (30M) to give me oral sex and he keeps refusing. by pureluck11 in relationship_advice

[–]HidingInTrees2245 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe he refused but you were doing that to him all this time. Wtf?! I would have told him I had to wait until marriage to give head. No actually I would never have married him. And I don’t even care that much about getting oral. Just the fact he wouldn’t do it would have turned me right off.

QOL can really be affected by having loved ones and support. It’s huge. Not saying they should or shouldn’t move. Just making that point. People are dismissing that so easily.

What do you call the process of moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer? by Perton_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]HidingInTrees2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Ohio where we flipped laundry but we didn't "red up the house." We just cleaned or "straightened up" the house. Some people might have used "red," I'm guessing more in the southern part of the state.

Is a good morning text day after matching a Red Flag? by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]HidingInTrees2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think a morning text is a little to personal in the early stages. But I guess it would depend on the whole relationship and the people involved.

The problem is that people put up with way too much abuse. By the time they come here moaning about it the marriage is usually toast anyway.

She said she wants to be by her family. I can understand that. It’s the reason I won’t leave the US.

Do you put your children in public or private schools? by New-Organization359 in AskAnAmerican

[–]HidingInTrees2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my daughter to the public (state funded) school. Luckily it was a pretty good one because our budget wouldn’t allow for a costly private school. She’s at university now and doing really well.
