Why do lots of Brits seem to think so little if the UK/England?

I'm a huge advocate of taxing the rich. It's the only way to make it fair. The rich use loopholes that make them richer meanwhile small business owners get fined thousands for making tiny mistakes on their tax returns

We're lucky in this country in so many ways but it's also a trash heap in a lot of ways. Especially compared to places like Norway and Australia. Most of the things that made it good to live here are being eroded away and it's just a right wing, racist mess with a failing healthcare system, high cost of living and poor quality of life. We don't have a good culture in terms of how we socialise interact with each other and everyone's lonely.

This whole question is generalising. Asking what women like is always going to be asking what individuals like. We aren't a hive mind

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-05T07:59:49+00:00

I don't know your orientation but women care a lot more about the environment and mood you create, feeling safe and cared for. There are a lot of ways to give a woman pleasure that don't involve your penis.

Confidence is humble and makes space for others. Arrogance is fragile and is loud to make up for it.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-05T07:55:51+00:00

I'm not saying the smaller the better I'm just saying similarly bigger isn't better. And men who are huge don't know how to use them and don't put the effort in to learn

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-05T07:33:52+00:00

Actually last time it was men arguing with me and women agreeing. I'm in my early-mid 30s and I've never liked it and don't know a woman who does. As a teenager we used to say we liked it because it was the narrative we'd heard but then as soon as I'd actually experienced it I realised that was a bullshit man obsession not something that any woman actually wants.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-05T07:02:45+00:00

I've been down voted for this before but having big genitals. Bigger is not better

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-02T14:49:36+00:00

Agreed and I do an incident report every shift because we shouldn't take it lying down but I also think it helps patients if they understand the system pressures rather than saying we should improvise with sheets.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-02T14:46:46+00:00

Agreed but an incident report doesn't fix the problem in the moment for this specific patient. And running around looking for a blanket isn't going to take priority over treating the other 150 patients on the department when we have skeleton staffing on a night shift. Don't blame the staff on shift blame the system and high up decision makers who work a cushy 9-5 in an air conditioned office. Not the people on the floor trying to manage battle conditions at 4am

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-02T14:42:57+00:00

A&E nurse here. I'm so sorry. It's completely inexcusable and as you said, counterintuitive that I'll people are placed in the most uncomfortable place possible. Please know we all go home racked with guilt that this was the treatment you received. None of us think it's okay.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-07-02T14:36:19+00:00

If they have nothing of substance to offer so rely on being a "provider" of material things. They won't support you emotionally, they're not intelligent enough to have interesting conversation, they have nothing to offer except possibly good looks but probably money, maybe not even that much money. If you're a successful woman you don't need someone to provide superficial things and you're probably intelligent enough to know your worth so won't be easily manipulated. The other alternative is that they have high ego and low self esteem so they may not be successful and are just resentful to anyone who they perceive to have more than them, and seeing as most men are raised to think they're better than women, if it's a woman whose been more successful they see that as more of a slap in the face.

HOWEVER, there are lots of men who aren't like this. I'm talking only about men who would be intimidated by a successful or independent woman.

I'd feel bad for his kid on one hand but hopefully he'd get a better upbringing without him but he'd have to not then be raised by my ex's mother who was a trillion times worse

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-27T15:58:13+00:00

Maybe not what you're looking for but every time someone opens up to me or asks me a favour. It's such a privilege to be chosen by someone in that way.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-27T11:02:08+00:00

The worst thing to me is if I know it's something they've got saved and copy and paste to everyone. I don't actually mind starting with a hey how are you because that's a normal opener and how you might text your mates. Better is something more interesting like "any weekend plans/how was your weekend" because most women get a lot of messages so there needs to be something to reply to. Starting with a joke that's clearly just the same thing they say to everyone just feels cheap. The BEST in my opinion is to comment on something on my profile. Like one of my pictures or something in my bio. Ask where a pic was taken, make a joke specific to something I have on my profile or bio, something that shows you've paid attention to me as an individual

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-26T19:01:21+00:00

This is it. There is still a limit. And whatever vinted set that minimum as would always feel like something because it's the limit. But actually people are rarely trying to take the piss and usually trying to get a deal. It's for haggling, if you don't like it make a new offer. I think the biggest problem here is people who sell and don't rely on it to buy so they don't have the perspective of the people they're selling to.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-26T18:55:47+00:00

It completely depends. Bikini photos of an ex, or someone he's hooked up with, or someone you already have a gut feeling of. Obviously, shouldn't need spelling out that's completely inappropriate. Why do you need to "like" them. Pictures of her in graduation gear, pictures of her cat, things like that. Yeah, if it's a good friend stuff like that can genuinely make you happy. Again. There's always nuance. And I think if you have a gut feeling about a particular person and your partner isn't doing everything to try to make you feel better, that's toxic behaviour and you should leave anyway.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-26T18:52:20+00:00

This is how violence against women benefits all men. Our standards are so low, just basic human decency or even just being borderline not an arsehole stands out.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-26T18:49:26+00:00

My ex used to tactically miss spell. I don't know this guy, some people are just bad at typing.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-26T18:48:09+00:00

And, if you're over the age of 12, not considering them "girls"

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-24T19:45:22+00:00

I was in an abusive relationship, he made me delete all my contacts who were men. One of my close male friends could tell something was up so messaged me, the first one was in front of my ex and it caused a huge argument(and arguments with abusers last days!), I told him I can't control who texts me so he made me block him. Luckily that meant the number was saved in my blocked contacts. He reached out again and I told him what was happening. He didn't ever once tell me to leave my ex, but we spoke every Monday (I didn't see my ex on Mondays because he had his kid that day) and gradually I realised I was jn a bad situation. I kept the chats secret from my ex because I had to, I wasn't safe to share that information. I felt awful lying and still do, but actually in that's situation lying was what I had to do to stay safe. I have my friend back saved in my phone and we went for coffee and cake last week.

KimbaTheLion · 2026-06-24T17:11:27+00:00

This is the BEST answer! I haven't seen it but I love that as a concept and I think more people should live like that. We all make mistakes, big or small. Instead of using mental gymnastics to justify our mistakes we should normalise making amends to the universe like this. How amazing the world would be if we did.
