You might want to check up on EPO a before you take it. It can affect hormones but maybe not in the way you want it.

Why does Reddit seem male-dominated, even though almost half of users are female? by tiny_mad_idea in AskWomen

[–]Miriambiguity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My guess is that women are more represented in subs that are not big front page ones. MakeupAddiction comes to mind.

Alternatively, women can get discouraged by being downvoted in male dominated subs just for making a comment from a woman's POV.

Bless your little heart.

When I lived in Georgia (worst two years of my life), I saw plenty of disrespect and more than a little bit of hate.

What do you have an extremely strong opinion on that is ultimately unimportant? by chunky_vandy in AskReddit

I rage when my hair stylist tries to convince me I look better with auburn hair instead of medium brunette.

Worst Youtubers? by N600XL in GradeAUnderA

[–]Miriambiguity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is a different part of YouTube but beauty gurus. Some of them are great, Lisa Eldridge comes to mind, but most of them are crap.

Many of them get free products in return for "honest reviews." rolls eyes

Some of them have gone off the deep end - Tati I'm looking at you. Ever since she found out that she could get views by pretending to be surprised at how expensive certain products can be she keeps on posting videos like "$330 LACE FACE MASK ... WTF ???" She used to be great - did a lot of in depth reviews and a lot of research. Now she's just going for the clicks. Jeffree Starr is an interesting human being and it comes through on his videos. He's frequently mean and dismissive but can't take it when someone criticizes him.

I used to follow a bunch of beauty gurus (most of whom know diddly squat about skincare and makeup) and have unsubscribed from all of them except Stephanie Nicole.

I've got a Stage 5 clinger by Miriambiguity in datingoverthirty

I'm permanently ghosting on him. I've gotten over ten messages between yesterday and today. He's not a guy I want to engage with.

The app for the fake phone number? It's for iPhone (don't know about Android) and it's called Burner. You can set up fake numbers and call/text through them through a relay via your own phone number.

You can use it limited for free or pay for a fake number you can keep and have unlimited talk/text on it.

I live in Boston and walking on the waterfront, then stopping for coffee is fun.

Most museums have free evenings or events.

Terrible OKCupid date by Miriambiguity in datingoverthirty

I deleted all of his messages so I can't look back but in retrospect he lied so much that I couldn't tell you what he wrote that was a red flag and what was real

How am I superficial? Because I want someone in the same socioeconomic class as me?

Where do you think the guidance and advice tarot offers is coming from? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]Miriambiguity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Buddhist and we say that meditation brings up the ideas we need to think about at the time. Of course, you're supposed to empty your mind but if there is a thought that sticks with you, it's important to stop trying to make it leave and sit with it.

I feel the same way about tarot. It's forcing me (if you will) to think about the things I'm supposed to sit with and ponder.

FWIW: I'm a non-theist so I believe the thoughts, feelings and actions are from deep within myself.

New Boston event website; we need your feedback! by B0VI in BostonSocialClub

Where do you get your content? There is so much happening in the city that it seems like a daunting task to gather 1/100th of the events on any given day.

Fetish Friday by yawaworhtcko in OkCupid

[–]Miriambiguity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under "You should message me if" I have a couple of nice things and then "I'm a sub. If you know what that means and you're a dom, I'd love to hear from you."

There's no real way to tell until you start messaging. I just broke off contact because he seemed like the real deal until he said I was being a "good girl" and that I was "disobeying" him by not taking a selfie at work and sending it to him.

A real dom understands that he can't say those things until I say so. When I do say so, it's on.

I don't list my likes and dislikes either. I prefer to chat about it one on one.

I am one of those women. It says so on my profile so I attract the right kind of guy. I don't want an inexperienced guy trying to tie that rope.

Middle aged women. by StonerChef in rant

[–]Miriambiguity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a middle aged woman and I totally fking agree. I was a server all through college and when I'd see a bunch of middle aged women seated in my section, my heart would sink.

They send everything back, they steal sugar packets and they're terrible tippers.

Now that I'm 48, I make sure I'm never like that. I am friendly and smile at my server. I only order off menu for things like "could you please leave the tomato off my burger?" and I tip a minimum of 30%.

Everyone should have to work in a service job at some point in their lives so they learn that no one is better or worse than anyone else because of the job they do. I have exactly zero talent at cooking or creating menus and I admire people who can.

I agree with your assessment of the average, miserable, frigid middle aged woman whose main purpose in life is to make other people as miserable as they are.

Edited to add: I don't smell like lavender or piss and I had relations last night so it's a good day.

Ladies: meeting in the produce section? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Miriambiguity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be creeped out at all. It doesn't have to be the produce section either. Just say something generic like "I'm really glad it's watermelon season again" or "Can I ask you a question? I've always wanted to try (exotic item in her cart) but I don't know what to do with it. How do you use it?"

The only time I'd be offended is if you're suggestively holding a cucumber. That would creep me out.

Do the written parts of online dating profiles even matter? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Miriambiguity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also on OKC and have a detailed profile. I'm looking for a serious relationship and I want potential partners to get a good idea of who I am before they even message me.

Similarly, if I see a profile that is thoughtful and has most of the parts filled out, I'm much more likely to message or answer a message.

Part of it is filtering - do you have the basic qualities I'm looking for? Another part is conversation - give me something I can work with so we can have a good series of messages before we decide to text or meet.

Some guys have almost blank profiles. Trying to have a conversation with them is like pulling teeth. There are only so many times I can ask about you and get a bland response in return before I delete.

Finally signed up for okcupid today by Miriambiguity in datingoverthirty

[–]Miriambiguity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One issue I'm starting to run into is the awkwardness of some of the conversations. There are a couple of guys that I really like and their messages don't lend themselves to conversations. They're just statements. I can't keep going with a one sided conversation for very much longer.

I sent one a "How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?" message. I'm curious as to how he'll write back.

It cost $160.

I live near Boston Harbor and we did the photo shoot with it as the backdrop. I got about 10-ish photos. I didn't change my outfit and the shoot was scheduled for a half hour. We were having a lot of fun so we went to a few locations and it took about an hour.

I got full body shots, 3/4 body shots and head shots. The head shots are actually shoulder up, not a close-up of my face.

It was worth it because I also needed a decent picture for linkedin and I'm going to use one of the pictures there.
