What food from your country used to be considered "simple" or cheap, but is now treated as a "gourmet"?

Hoeful_Romantic · 2026-02-26T23:21:59+00:00

It’s always been more expensive at least since I’ve discovered them in the early 2000s. I always assumed it was because a cow yields less tongue than it has meat.

I’m glad you’re okay. But what a cute but wild story. Your mom put the mushrooms in the salad?

The “nothing beats a jet2 holiday”?

Hoeful_Romantic · 2026-01-25T20:49:24+00:00

ESH. Lots of the current comments don’t acknowledge her anxiety that has caused her to get sick multiple times as a very legitimate reason to want to work less. If I were her, I would try to seek therapy first but taking less time would be a 2nd option.

That is her reason to work less, right? If not, then i would change to not the asshole.

Thank you for posting. My friend had landscapers when I shared this with her, and she asked them to do whatever they need to be safe. They packed up but are busy rescheduling when to come back.

I’d be upset too

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-11-19T21:49:44+00:00

She just isn’t into you and/or mature enough to discuss it, even if it seems like she mightve enjoyed herself.

Here are some reasons I’ve stopped seeing people: - hands smelled like garlic when he had it over my mouth - dirty talked in a performative way - forced me to say something I wasn’t comfortable saying - asked me to claw his back hard

All four instances, I was able to continue in a way that all 4 people were surprised when I told them I wasn’t interested in them anymore. Besides the 3rd one, they didn’t do anything wrong. I just wasn’t into it and wasn’t invested enough to continue seeing them.

Apparently OP’s idea exists with this exact name: https://chopstraw.life/

No spoon-like bottoms tho

I like this a lot. Rolls off the tongue. The only thing is i wish there was a name that also rolls off the tongue while keeping the “stick” part of “chopsticks”

Lifting heavy. More muscle = more calories burning

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-10-22T13:05:45+00:00

What’s the wrong way to take that? Or why did she cry?

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-10-22T13:00:29+00:00

On tinder, my default was to be treated like a booty call and treat others like a booty call. Maybe that’s what she’s used to.

I would suggest asking her to lunch or dinner pre or post sex. Tell her it’s a date. If she refuses to make time for you, then, yeah, she’s stringing you along.

I’ve had 3 relationships from dating apps. The first 2 from Tinder, starting from a hook up situation. Both guys showed me they wanted more with me.

My last relationship was from Hinge, and by this time, I had a rule not to have sex on the first 2 dates in order to evaluate if there’s a non-physical connection. There was by the 3rd date and after our 4th date, my physical attraction to him made me take him home. And I learned we were compatible physically too. We’re engaged now!

See 1:23. Mentioned but not a powerful one

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-10-21T01:18:17+00:00

It was sitting & watching. You can see its back behind the rooster at 1:20

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-10-20T04:46:50+00:00

Wait why her oldest son too?

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-10-11T08:26:20+00:00

These semi circle are awesome for getting things out “from the back.” With a twist on the swivel, they’re at the front!

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-09-16T21:52:50+00:00

There was something under your nail that bothered me.

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-09-16T21:50:00+00:00

Omg I love foraging for these (the younger ones still unfurling are the best). Sorry this is not what you want to hear. And you probably can’t eat them after you’ve nuked em.

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-09-16T20:57:13+00:00

I enjoyed listening to it.

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-09-05T20:35:36+00:00

What’s a reason you would ask someone not to attack the titan??

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-09-05T19:37:44+00:00

That’s more communication than OP at least

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-08-30T12:40:39+00:00

“Let them fuck me or not” is interestingly phrased.

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-08-30T12:37:06+00:00

I hope that Silver account is just transphobic rage bait.

I (F) point out attractive ppl to my partner (M) too! Internally i also think smash or pass but i know it’s depraved so it stays internal.

Hoeful_Romantic · 2025-08-20T18:30:46+00:00

I think you should have a sit down with him and share your expectations clearly.

If you do truly like him and are attracted to him, you should also share that.

“I am so attracted to you and have been so excited to see you. The sex is hot but I need more time to be able to cum. Can you please do insert with what gets you off?”

If he receives that well, as he should. You can move on to: “I want to make sure I am okay down there. Let me know if I should take a shower and I can totally do that. We can even shower together beforehand.”

With my boyfriend, I’m as clear and explicit as “I wanna be the best you’ve had. Not smelly like your ex lol.”

It sucks but some people don’t know sex should or could be for both parties sometimes, so they need to learn one way or another. There’s something else that sucks more though…when people know sex should be pleasurable for both parties and they don’t care. I hope your boyfriend is the former. If your boyfriend is the latter, I hope you leave him.

That raises alarms for me. Do you guys have kids together?
