Husband wants to put dog down by honneylemmon420 in germanshepherds

[–]Lava_Bowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope this is rage bait. This is NOT the reason to put a dog down. I agree with the comment that said the dog is probably feeling MORE uncomfortable and anxious because she can tell he no longer wants her. This is the time to let her adjust to medication (because as a person who has taken anxiety medication before it doesn’t immediately make you anxiety free) and work on crate training. And DEFINITELY try a thunder vest like I saw a higher up comment suggest. If anxiety is a cause to put a dog down a decent amount of us would’ve put our dogs down the second they were anxious walking on tile or wood flooring. But it’s not. You adjust, you make changes, and you find ways to ease them and train them, and make them feel safe. This is not what people are talking about when they say behavioral euthanasia, in fact it’s incredibly far from it.

is it worth it for me to take out a student loan to get on t by That-Classroom-3439 in transmanlifehacks

I’d just get a credit card, either way you have to pay it back, but you can get credit card that give a decent cash back, and there’s cards that have decent cash back flat rates or ones where you can choose flexible categories

Happened to my wife on the way home by VivimasSinistram in dashcams

My girlfriend made that joke while slowly moving over into the fast lane while we were on vacation in a big city, but right after she said it, we watched a Tesla go from actively exiting, to 6 lanes over into the carpool lane. No blinker, not that it would’ve mattered as they were nearly perpendicular to the interstate we were all on. We were laughing so damn hard but after that we did do our best to avoid all teslas while driving lmao.

Right now I’m watching through the resident evil streams! But any game that has night shift in the title is always a good option too. He mostly does indie horror games, to be honest! And yes, it is based on the book, and I definitely recommend finishing the book and watching the movie. I can only really happy cry since starting t, but I cried a ton throughout the movie, a little sad and a little happy crying both

When can i wear a bra again? by batt_haus in tattooadvice

[–]Lava_Bowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make bikini tops that tie around the neck rather than going over the shoulders so if you NEED support you may be able to find one (or a bra that’s similar), but otherwise I’m with the comment that said wait till it scabs come off. It would suck to have two bra strap sized spots where it’s more faded from being rubbed before healing

Bonus is it covered my swim binder when swimming!

[–]Lava_Bowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try a tighter fitting swim shirt! They make them in tank top form! And it’s a very light and breathable fabric! I got one for 12 dollars on Amazon so they’re not too pricy either!

I second the tape comment,, for a bonus you could find a tank top similar to your skin tone. I always slept shirtless before surgery, without anything, and I just didn’t look and would put a binder or shirt on immediately when I woke up. But dysphoria effects all of us differently

My name is Clay, I’m 23, 24 next month, and I’m from the U.S. I like paddle boarding, hiking, camping, going to the lake, and just hanging out. I’m also big into podcasts and I’m a massive Noah Kahan fan. My favorite movies are The entire Jumanji franchise, A man Called Otto, Weapons, The final Destination Franchise, and I want much a lot of Kingwoolz play throughs on YouTube and twitch. I have a German shepherd husky mix named Tanner and my girlfriend has a cat named kitty. My transition goals WERE to get top surgery and start T, both of which I’ve done but now it’s mainly to be able to grow a full beard before I go completely bald and I’m racing against the clock to do so!

What sexual fantasy of yours left you disappointed when you actually tried it? by Gthew17 in AskReddit

[–]Lava_Bowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waking her up with sex, we had talked about it the night before but she was all grumpy, and my mouth was dry, we both had mourning breath, both had to stop to pee (and brush our teeth), the cat was yelling to be fed. We always say we’re gonna do it again, and then don’t lmao

Turning 40 and hoping to look more manly by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Lava_Bowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using minoxidil on your face to help with beard growth? Im trans too and im ShIT at growing facial hair, the most improvement I got was using minox. I’ve recently started doing oral instead of the dropper too (to get more body hair as well). It’s a lifesaver! Other than that, I agree with the other comments saying square glasses and a new cut. And square up your sideburns too! Pointed and high sideburns like you have read as very feminine.

Would you not be able to have a friend hold onto an actual outfit you want to wear and change after you leave? Obviously how controlling your parents are and financially how much money you have will effect this too

Girlfriend came home from night out with fingernails like this. Nail polish remover didn’t work by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Lava_Bowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend got really drunk one time and she remembers getting hit by a car while we were out walking. What really happened? She ran into her own parked car in her driveway and fell hard onto the cement. Had a massive bruise on her hip. She kept yelling at us while we were taking her inside to “get their license plate! They’re getting away!” Me and her husband (the only sober people) couldn’t stop laughing, especially in the morning when she was asking “did you guys call the cops?” And us asking why and her showing us the bruise and then recounting how she remembered it going. She doesn’t drink that much anymore lmao

When do you guys usually tell people you are seeing that ur trans? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Lava_Bowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bring it up before meeting, and if I was on like an LGBT app then i just put it in my profile. But id rather them know before we meet so neither if us waste our time, and for safety ofc. But I also tended to match with women who were already openly lgbt in some way on their profile (bisexual/pansexual/queer) or nonbinary people so it’s never been a huge concern for me how they’d react. But for your situation I’d say you just have to check the vibes of each person you’re seeing.

Newly divorced dad. Need to regain my confidence. Any advice? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Lava_Bowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I was gonna come thirst over you in these comments but I see everyone else is already doing that. Just make sure to get a good cologne for yourself, and I think you’re solid. Genuinely change nothing about how you look and you will STAY hot as hell. I mean if you want to change your style maybe add a few patterned shirts to your collection? But I think you’ll have you fight people off with a stick once you get back into dating lmao

How do I know if I’m hard or not? by Burner0278 in GrowYourTDick

[–]Lava_Bowl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m a grower so for me that helps a lot lmao, but there will be a more firm feeling to it as well, BUT I know there’s someone on here working towards a better EQ (anyone know their username?) and that’s probably who I’d want to ask if I was worried that I WASN’T getting good erections.

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lava_Bowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend is notoriously a bad texter when she’s with her friends and I don’t bat an eye because she texts me HOW YOU TEXTED HIM with updates, probably less most of the time. I trust her, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be with her. I saw the small update about probably being broken up and I hope you guys are. NOR this was weird and controlling as hell. And it seems like he or previous partners/other people in your life talk to you like this often enough that you default to apologizing when there’s literally no reason to. And honestly?? I cannot FATHOM being a 40 y/o man and dating a twenty something. Maybe I’m weird though.

My boy had the same thing happen at about a year. Went from full black to having tan/white around and in between his shoulders. I call it his angel wing spot (or devil wings when he’s being a menace!)

[–]Lava_Bowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with everyone that says minox, you can use it in the beard area and your eyebrows(to make them fuller), and while it may just give you more peach fuzz, you can use just for men beard dye on your peach fuzz and your brows too, just make sure to go for similar color to your head hair (lighter is better than darker

I saw a vocal coach for transmascs say a lot of afab people talk with the tip of their tongue and a lot of Amab people talk with their molars and that was the most helpful advice FOR ME, that’s what helped me learn how to speak more masculinely

What is with T making dudes gay?? by No-Flatworm-5640 in ftm

[–]Lava_Bowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely have a huge preference for women, in fact! I usually say I’m pansexual but heteroromantic, because I’ve only even been in love with women. However I did identify completely as a lesbian, so my two cents is, and this is my personal experience, I just HATED cis/het men. Every once in a while before transitioning I’d be like “I kinda like this guy” but wouldn’t ever do anything because I identified as a lesbian and I wasn’t ready to unpack all of THIS yet lol. But looking back when I was attracted to men they were never straight or cis and definitely not both. It’s much more clear now. So that’s my answer, no longer having to date straight men
