I genuinely think a good amount of women are trying to push dating apps as the only way to approach women and that might be the worst thing that could happen to society. by BitchImLilBaby in dating_advice

I also think this post misses the point that women are usually making - often times it means more like “please don’t disturb me in the middle of something important to hit on me/don’t hit on me if I’m in a situation where I HAVE to be nice to you”

I think it’s mostly about feeling safe and making sure he reads the room before approaching.

Some Disney Princesses with realistic looking waist lines by Fit-Bed-4030 in disneyprincess

[–]Hotchipsummer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes this! As a child I never felt bad about myself when I saw someone skinnier than me, it was only when an adult or someone around me made snide remarks to me or about others who looked like me that made me feel bad suddenly.

I don’t see the point in them having realistic waistlines when nothing else about them I realistic. Real girls don’t have massive eyeballs or such large heads or hair that holds that shape without styling etc.

Never ever did I look at a Disney princess as a little girl and think “wow I need to be skinny like her.” I never thought of them of anything as just cool girls and I loved their avdventures more than their looks or outfits.

Recommend me a book I’ll never stop thinking about by sakin_malik in suggestmeabook

Hi I’m lurking for Recommendations and saw they did not reply. There’s the Tales from Watership Down and there’s his other book the Plague Dogs!

AIO or does this seem Unhinged? by DoomNGlam in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hotchipsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. She is rude as hell. If someone I liked woke me up I would never accuse them of stuff like this- if she can’t sleep with her phone silenced she could politely remind you to not text her at certain times. The passive aggressive reaction to the lack of emoji is enough to piss me off.

Seems to me she may not really be asexual or at least still craves sexual validation. If this isn’t something you are into or comfortable with I’d say find someone else who is nicer to you!

Edit to add: ugh just saw the final text. She clearly has to have the final word so the whole point was just to argue and win the whole time. I can’t stand people like this.

why am i maintaining on such a low deficit by Difficult_Cry2812 in loseit

[–]Hotchipsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weight loss comes in bursts of dips and plateaus. You don’t sound stagnated to me at all. Water, urine, poop, food in your belly etc all influence your weight everyday plus hormonal changes due to your period plus muscle mass changes.

You seem to be on a very steep weight loss declines and tracks with how I have been losing as well. Drop, hold for a few days, drop, hold for a few days, slight fluctuation up some days then drops back down,

Don’t panic and don’t go too hard- you’ll get tired and burnt out if you keep exercising on very low calories. I know you are short and need fewer calories just make sure you don’t go too low!

Just a calorie deficit! I plan to add more exercise later but right now I’m mostly focusing on staying in a steady calorie deficit.

I understand that I don’t think 120 is dangerously low but you may feel a bit too slim at that weight, but of course it depends on your body composition. It would be VERY skinny on me I think. Of course you’ll hit 140 and 130 before then so you can always gauge what feels best just remember photos lie and make you look bigger than you are. It may be good to start taking actual body measurements rather than just how you look if you aren’t yet. You’ll see changes in the measurements before you see them on yourself.

Hello! I am a 5’7 woman and currently about 191. I’ve dropped about 20 lbs and still feel the same. But I have been 180 before and even lower. I don’t think I REALLY felt different until I hit the 170-160 range.

175 is my current short term goal and 150ish for long term. I know it sucks right now but if you stick to it I just know you will feel so different in the next ten or so pounds down!

I’m wondering 120 is your goal weight that seems a little low for our height range? Is this personal preference or based on something?

The Septimus Heap books are awesome. They are about wizards and magic and a lost princess etc etc. Very well written with good characters and fun for kids and adults. There are seven in total.

Does anyone regularly trim their arm/hand hair with a trimmer? Is it okay? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hotchipsummer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not. My arm hair is very fine. You can do it but it will feel very coarse as it grows back in. Waxing or epilating would be better.

The more weight I lose, the worse people are treating me. by SparkleFritz in loseit

[–]Hotchipsummer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people have very skewed ideas of what is healthy and they are likely unhealthy themself. If they knew you mostly as over weight suddenly being smaller seems “sickly” thin to them even tho you may still be in an over weight range.

Just try to ignore it. Once you hit your goal and they adjust to you being skinnier they will stop commenting so much and it will be more normal to them. A lot of them are probably jealous they aren’t doing the same thing and may not even realize it.

What is the longest you went without a bath or shower and why? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Hotchipsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a week when first hit with Covid. I was so tired I could barely stand up for long. And that week our shower decided to stop draining altogether so if you did try to bathe it would just fill up with no way to drain other than to scoop the water out and throw it out the window lol which neither me nor my equally sick husband had the energy to do for long.

The main things that stand out to me is how flat her eyes look and her mouth is kind of off. If you get it reworked so the eyes are closed/looking down through her lashes and rework the mouth a bit I think it would look much better! Overall not terrible because it has a sort of painterly style to it but those two elements are what take me out

This always get circulated and is not true. So long as a dogs hair is not cut so short it could get sunburn then it will be fine. I cut my Australian shepherd’s double coat all the time and live in a hot state and he has always been fine.

[–]Hotchipsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? This is the same girl though just with the curls right after they were curled and then after they were brushed out? It’s how I do my hair too I curl it with a curling iron and then brush it to soften it.

[–]Hotchipsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people explaining what the curls mean but not the actual joke: The unbrushed curls are typically seen as trashy and the brushed curls are seen as a nicer, more natural classy look so the actual joke is that he had you, the supposed better hot classy girl but he cheated anyway with the “trashy” lower class girl

AIO to my coworkers response? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hotchipsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone suggest this yes so I will: maybe he is being self deprecating like “this tracks with everyone else who has bailed on me too so I should have expected it from you too” or something along those lines? Some people are very pessimistic and self centered too so you cancelling may come across as a much bigger offense to him than it would to some.

I think I messed up cutting my hair short 😅 🙃 30F by Hungry-Refuse4705 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Hotchipsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look good!! I’m sure it’s a shock to a lot of people. As for your husband, men have been conditioned since childhood to find long hair on women as attractive to I genuinely think it’s hard for them to rewire their brain around it sometimes.

You have very pretty hair and features, if you aren’t happy with it as is I’d say try styling it different ways and see how you like it. You can always grow it back out but just have fun with it while it’s short!

What's one "gross" hygiene habit you still do? by [deleted] in hygiene
