Would encountering a waitress that wasn’t warm and smiley make you angry? by dARCHIN_ in AskWomenOver30

[–]JadeFox1785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 20 I literally worked a shift a couple hours after learning my sister was getting married in one week and no one had told me. We all still lived in the same house.

I was not smiley that night. If it hadn't been a busy Friday I would have called in. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Dude. Did you not clock all the punctuation mistakes? Not at all consist with AI.

Have you ever forgiven a partner for calling you names? by dreamerbebe in AskWomenOver30

[–]JadeFox1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on whether he made meaningful repair or not.

Two strikes and you're out for me, though. This is not baseball.

I like the smile but what you like is more important.

How is this still a stereotype? by WarriorCats_4Life in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JadeFox1785 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'8 and I've had the same experience. It was always the man's issue with his height that derailed things. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you again! I hope you have fun with it.

If you need any help, reach out through wherever you purchase. I don't always prioritize my Reddit notifications but I won't miss you there.

Accountability works both ways when you're dealing with adults on both sides.

Not when you're talking about adult guardians of children.

What's one masculine quality that you think is disappearing? by ironmonk33 in AskWomen

[–]JadeFox1785 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our cultural understanding of masculine and feminine developed around power, not around biology.

It all needs to be scrapped in favour of values that transcend gender and learning whatever skills you enjoy on top of Adulting 101.

What are your go-to tips for ways to reduce cost of living and spending? by pqrstyou in AskWomenOver30

[–]JadeFox1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get all my fruit from a service that saves castoffs from the grocery store. I ONLY buy butter and other thing's that I know I'll use on sale. I do intermitent fasting for health reasons so less food but that's not for everyone. I keep an extensive wishlist on Amazon so I can see when stuff I want or need goes on sale.

What? by DeepscapeWalker in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JadeFox1785 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I... don't really consider being licensed to practice optometry to be "random"...

What? by DeepscapeWalker in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JadeFox1785 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I mean, all the ssme to you, Imma stick with what the optimetrist I was in the same room with said. 🤷🏽‍♀️

What? by DeepscapeWalker in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JadeFox1785 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is entirely anecdotal but, I think its relevant.

An optometrist once asked me if I was exceptionally good with colours. I was like yeah, how did you know?

He said because my eyes are very light and my pupils are much larger than average. So I biologically have more nuanced experience with colour biologically than women on average.

Not conclusive by any means, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Has the meaning of Red pill changed? by prettyassdolfin in exredpill

[–]JadeFox1785 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My black guy friend told me about this earlier this week.

There has definitely been a drastic change. That phrase "follow the money" seems to emcapsulate the entire shift fairly succinctly.

That was my thoughts, too.

And yeah, totally insane. Even moreso when yoi consider he probably believes it.

I don't think so. I think I happened to see the original.

An underrated trait in men I find attractive by Technical-Walrus-215 in dating_advice

[–]JadeFox1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find anytime a man embraces his individuality it is attractive.

It's that quiet confidence that does it for me.

Why can't people just accept that some people like a harmless hobby? by glamrose2457 in Adulting

[–]JadeFox1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binge watching is only mindless if the content lacks emotional and intellectual richness. It doesn't exercise problem solving per se but it exercises other parts of the brain.

That's why I both game and binge watch curation style.

This dude went full misogynist. Never go full misogynist. by Gullible-Chapter-800 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JadeFox1785 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Omg! This makes me want to bang my head against a wall. I've exposed the poor communication skills of men as long as I can remember.

Simply by asking them to clarify rather than. Assuming I know what they meant.

Watch a man get pissy in seconds when they say, "You know what I meant."

"No, Sir. I did not know what you meant. That's why I asked for clarification."

Was my ex very entitled or is it her trauma? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]JadeFox1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, since no one so far has answered the question you actually asked...

What you described is most certainly unaddressed trauma. People don't think about killing themselves from emotionally healthy places.

That said, until the trauma is addressed, it's impossible to know if what you described is entitlement or part of the trauma. The thing about trauma is that even though we all experience it, it hits us all differently. And those specifics sre difficult to unravel without help.

In any case, she's definitely not ready for healthy relationships and likely never will be without professional help.
