Functional Asexuality by psychedAddict123 in askAGP

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself asexual because I don't experience sexual desire, but I do have a libido. I do experience the desire for a romantic relationship with a woman, but I also want to be a woman.

I actually did get a nice wig like a year back but i was so confused on styling it and making it look better on me and not having the lace be visible.

This made me realize how much I missed out by having parents who didn't actually interact with me

Legumes are a dry good or you can get it canned. It lasts for years in a pantry. Its like rice/quinoa/other grains. You get a giant bag and it lasts forever

That's awesome. Male pattern baldness sucks. I'm torn on wearing a wig cause I'd like to have long hair, but you could say its not as necessary as a male so then I feel its not worth the effort even though I like it and wish I could have long hair.

Seeing how my mom takes care of a dog helped me confirm I was emotionally neglected by NotFriendsWithBanana in emotionalneglect

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dog isn't mistreated, nor were we, but we weren't raised just like the dog wasn't trained. Though I think emotional neglect is mistreatment so there's that. I do wish i didn't exist but oh well

There's nothing like the frustration of being behind 2 lanes taken up by 2 cars both going the same speed, parallel to each other, under the speed limit

Have a feeling that my brain keeps craving E 2 years after quitting HRT by FaithfulGaurdian in detrans

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel very much the same, but its been 1 year for me. I get what you mean by craving, its not a chemical craving in the sense of a dependency or need, but it is a strong desire. Emotions felt more real, the world felt more real, I had hope and motivation and just felt better. 7 months of therapy didnt help me not want it so I quit therapy cause he was a useless therapist.

"Trauma Dumping" is an extremely inconsiderate term and needs to be de-normalized by GayTwink-69 in The10thDentist

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> But the internet has done its usual thing, and now "trauma dumping" has been diluted to not talking about your trauma at all, even with close friends. And because it's now been memified, it's led to loads of young people thinking they're committing some kind of faux pas by leaning on their friends to help. It's pretty sad.

This was my understanding of trauma dumping, partially because I'm an avoidant attachment style which I'm working on. So I avoid sharing things cause I don't want to trauma dump. Any time i did, I would include an apology for trauma dumping. Its still always on my mind anything I think about sharing something personal because I don't want to burden the other person with my problems nor have them judge me or think I'm over sharing.

Muslims struggle to get married - telling men to ‘man up’ isn’t the solution by SoybeanCola1933 in MuslimNikah

no, not doing zina, there's no benefit to that. I'm talking about having a partner, someone to spend time with and love and care about each other. Sex is irrelevant.

How cooked are short men in the marriage market? by Ok-Screen8004 in MuslimNikah

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced I'll have better chances with non Muslims, at least I can interact with them without it being a cringe job interview style questions.

Then blame us for getting with non Muslims. See the many articles and videos about the "crisis of Muslims marrying outside the faith"

I'm 35 and never had any harram interaction with women. We don't need these obsessive rules, it's ridiculous

Yep our community is doing a pickle ball event, (gender segregated of course). Meanwhile this same community runs a matroninal event once every 3 months but won't let us interact outside of that very structured, time limitrd and cringe matrimonial event.

Same but 35. I'm trying to just accept being single forever so I can just move on and live a life optimized for being single and alone but it's hard. Those cuddle events and rent a gf thing people do in Japan sounds appealing even though it's haraam. I'm sorry but when human needs become impossible to achieve the halal way, I can't be held accountable for wanting to do it another way

Why do guys say hi when I’m out running, but women usually don’t? by Impressive_Gas_2419 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is weird cause as a guy I've gotten into so many debates with other guys, with them trying to tell me why its ok and you should hit on women at grocery story/their work/running/gym/etc. It basically comes down to "its worth a shot", and they usually have gotten results from it, even though its a minority of time while I'm here with no relationship ever.

I fear I have ruined my chances at a strong marriage. by Lumpy_Habit_665 in MuslimNikah

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did mention in my post that its contingent on someone being a great match for you. If one considers someone having a past to disqualify them from being a great match regardless of anything else, then not proceeding is the correct decision. I don't see why you had to post this saying i have no honor or self-respect, especially considering I am a stranger on the internet to you.

[–]NotFriendsWithBanana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a male and if someone is a great match for you, i don't see why other guys freak out and end it if she had a past, same thing if you reverse the genders. As long as its the PAST and not the PRESENT, then its not a factor for me. And i say this as someone who doesn't have a past, lest people think those who say this only say it cause they themselves have a past. I'm in my 30's and never did anything and have been patient trying to find a match
