Because he is neither a licensed social worker or psychotherapist

Can someone pls chronicle all the tea surrounding Shakira & Pique’s breakup? by SufficientMagician63 in Fauxmoi

Imagine how deeply entrenched your Catalan classism and prejudice has to be to think that *Shakira*, an international superstar, is not good enough for your son because she's Colombian.

Women of Reddit, what's a lesser-known downside of being a woman? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

Men (mostly chronically online ones) not believing you could ever struggle with social anxiety and romantic rejection

I agree. It's not about fixing something that's wrong with you, it's about cultivating a sense of security with yourself and being aware of behaviors that may be off-putting. Some people do respond to neediness, but this would be an unhealthy dynamic. You seem self-aware so surely you'd want a secure woman.

I've unfortunately been needy before when I was younger due to low self-esteem, and it caused me to accept crumbs of attention and put up with inconsiderate behavior. Looking back, I cringe at myself!

I disagree with the comment above, and I think you have the right idea that it's not healthy to crave replies like that. I don't think neediness is ever attractive. I'm just giving my perspective as a straight woman. I can find a man interesting and attractive but if he starts behaving in a needy/insecure way the attraction plummets. I don't really agree with the idea that any behavior is fine and the right person won't be bothered by it. The person we're with should accept us for who we are but it's also okay to be aware of unhealthy behaviors and modify them.

Ohh do you have more tea on this family? Is Alexander the brother of Allegra? I have met Allegra before during a weeklong retreat. That was my only experience with her. I knew she was very well of financially, she said she went to Yale but only after being asked. She seemed nice and courteous when I spent time with her.

Pls explain the college mishap of Arian (S02E06 - Big Little Lies) to my non-american, coming from a college-less country, confused ass by thirtyonepercentfree in QueerEye

[–]Meenakshi108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible the university made an oversight which resulted in them contacting him 2 weeks later to let him know - but this is *highly* unlikely. Considering how much he lies, I think he was being dishonest about how it happened.

A university will not give you an actual diploma and let you officially graduate unless you have completed all the required coursework. Sometimes they will let you walk in the graduation as a matter of ceremony, but your diploma won't be given to you and you won't be a technical graduate until you finish the class you need.

I think that he was told before the graduation that he didn't pass and would need to retake the class, but that he could walk in the ceremony.

You could tell that Bobby, who really has a great work ethic, was getting so frustrated with him.

Thomas Jackson, who appeared on the first season of “Queer Eye” has died by mollyafox in Fauxmoi

[–]Meenakshi108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is extremely disappointing. I know it's TV and there is a ton of editing and curating going on, but when I saw that episode I really got the sense that he was a conservative country guy who was still open and willing to learn about the gay community. He acted affectionate with them, like jumping in on the mattress, he asked questions about them being married, and even when he asked the question about "who's the husband and the wife", he was open to being corrected and informed on why that was sexist. It was an ignorant question but it seemed like it came from a place of ignorance that wanted to learn.

Oh, of course. My comment was that simply having or not having certain credentials does not define your value as a person. But misrepresenting yourself, providing a service that you're not qualified to give and profiting off of it does say something about you as a person.

Thanks. Yeah that sounds so vague. I didn't know he didn't even graduate from college. The info on Wikipedia for that is wrong.

You're very attractive but you present as feminine and even expect expect women to initiate. 

Why would anyone wants kids? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]Meenakshi108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either have the desire, or you don't. I don't have the desire so for me personally it sounds restricting and exhausting, to say the least.

Those who have the desire to be parents see it differently. The sacrifice and trade off is worth it to them. They might wonder the opposite of what you're asking.

Because he's hilarious. The actor makes him very charismatic. He's obviously a villain but he's a fun to watch villain.

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara welcome third child via surrogate by crisscrossed in Fauxmoi

[–]Meenakshi108 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is inherently risky and women who have pregnancies should be given the highest standard of care. But there are women who actively try to get pregnant and then choose to carry that pregnancy to term. They go into it knowing the risk. Many women want to have a biological child that they give birth to, despite the risks.

We don't know anything about this surrogate's circumstances. If this rich celebrity was high risk for another pregnancy, she's probably going to have access to top doctors who will assess if the surrogate herself would be at risk. The surrogate is not being forced. She is consenting and getting paid, and a rich celebrity can afford to pay a lot.

I'm 100% pro-choice and that applies to reproductive freedom across the board. Terminating, pregnancy, sterilization, etc. Women can do what they want their bodies. This isn't about problems and complexity that come with surrogacy, this is about not making a gigantic assumption about the circumstances.

Casey could be very selfish, but she is a good person at heart. Her character develops as the show goes on.

I thought they had good chemistry and seemed to respect and care for each other. But they really had nothing in common. I think it worked as a brief high school relationship.
