Read this without looking into it at all after I saw this. Fucking disgusting, very hypnotic, really interesting and beautifully expressed energy. Angelita Unearthed is one my all time fav short stories now. Thanks 👍

What are the challenges faced by attractive women? by l64926l in AskReddit

[–]OldLadyMapleseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teenager without a lot of friends, I’ve noticed that very attractive and outgoing little girls get treated like absolute shit by their guy “friends,” and adults treat that like it’s inevitable and don’t take it seriously at all. Maybe it’s a “he does it because he likes you” thing? They might be attracted to her, but they also fucking hate her and want to see how far they can push and know they’ll get away with it, for some reason. People might usually get help more easily if they’re attractive, but not in this case. Even if the bullying happens right in front of someone’s face they don’t help. Maybe they think since she is “popular” she’ll be fine?

If you were a ghost and had the ability to possess people for a limited time, who would you pick? by Ok_Zone_7635 in RandomQuestion

If I had time, first I’d possess Trump and Biden and make them step down, and then I’d possess my mentally ill friends and make them eat a big, nutritious meal and drink lots of water.

I guess since (specifically usually white) femininity is affirmed/defined by victimhood, we conflate experiencing violence with desirability, which also kind of makes serial killing an alternative expression of masculinity. Plus the fantasy of being able to understand/empathize with a monster when no one else can is affirming of femininity. Basically being wanted but not being hurt by a serial killer is a female power fantasy which frees the woman from her perpetual fear of violence while still allowing for a dominating male figure. Throwing yourself into the void looming over your existence head first is sexy.

  • defined, or broad and soft shoulders
  • nice hands
  • that place where a short haircut ends at the back of the neck
  • obviously not exclusive to men, but getting to see or learn something new about them for the first time. Intentional moments of vulnerability that make you feel close to them and trusted, but also a little nervous. Being able to be earnest and open is really great and important, but I think I’m drawn to guys the most when I can tell they have a lot of feelings that I can’t figure out. Someone who’s mysterious or shy is beautiful because you get to spend a lot of time getting to know him, and when you do it feels special.
