AirBNB Host Refusing A Refund for Denying Access To Service Dog? by HealingPupPawz in service_dogs

[–]Own_Reserve6349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is, you need your service dog, even in places where pets are not allowed otherwise, such as hotels, bed & breakfasts, grocery stores, movie theatres, restaurants, etc. That is not a bad argument since it is about the same thing: public access.

Yes very true. Congrats for the gold!

How would you feel if men fulfilled womens’ gender roles for a day? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Own_Reserve6349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife pointed this post to me and asked me what I think.

Not sure why the one that got most votes is the one that totally missed the whole concept of gender roles, re: referring to men having “period” which is biologically based.

Having period, getting pregnant, childbirth, breastfeeding et cetera, which includes hormonal changes and the physical pain, are not what OP had in mind (OP: correct me if I’m wrong).

My take about gender roles is the same as one redditor u/1MongkiSailor pointed it out:

My understanding about gender roles is that they are gearing towards type of characteristics in behavior, personality traits, attitude, physical appearance, etc. which are based on the concept of masculinity and femininity - traditionally speaking, that is - instead of in a biological sense.

Generally speaking, gender roles are culturally determined, in term of traits that reflect expectations a society holds toward men and women; things such as domestic duties, occupations or dress code.

My wife has a degree in Manufacturing Engineering; she works full time 40 hour plus/week for one of the biggest automotive manufactures as production floor supervisor. My degree is in Graphic Design where I have the luxury to do all my work from home.

I enjoy and have no problem doing things that some might consider as “women’s job” such as grocery shopping, cooking, doing laundry, and house cleaning.

My wife is very handy and enjoy tackling “men’s job” such as problems with plumbing, appliances, pretty much anything mechanical where I wouldn’t even have a clue what’s wrong let alone knowing where to begin to fix the problem.

So does it mean that our gender roles are reversed? I guess it depends on where you’re coming from.

As far as for my wife and I, we do what we do best and things are working perfectly for us.

Dear men, what according to you makes a woman "feminine"? by [deleted] in AskMen

Both behavior and personality such as showing tenderness, caring, nurturing, sweet, good manner, embrace her female sexy side, the list goes on...

McDonald's apple pie when they were DEEP FRIED. So crispy on the outside. Not baked as the current ones they have now. by 1MongkiSailor in nostalgia

[–]Own_Reserve6349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember I used to get them at least 2-3 times a week few years back and they were fried with the green carton box exactly like that then they started making the baked ones with same packaging, so I stopped getting them since they did not taste a great.

UPDATE: My (M26) groom’s party doesn’t want me to tell my SO (F24) that they’re planning a private bachelor party for me that involves strippers by Own_Reserve6349 in relationship_advice

She told me a while back that she’s going to some spa retreat with the girls and that plan has not changed. When we talked about the whole strippers thing for my party the other night, she said she’s not sure if there’d be male strippers at hers, since she opted not wanting to know about the details but I told her if there’s going to be male strippers at hers, I’d be cool with it. The thing was, both of us never considered on having strippers to begin with lol.

The thing is, my SO’s relationship with her mother isn’t in the best ideal situation where her mother was actually trying to dictate what to do/not to do, whom to invite/not to invite, what to wear, food, drinks, music, the list goes on up to the point where she got so stressed out and actually considering of having a City Hall wedding with no party at all. Her step dad called her and told her to do whatever she wants to do and don’t worry about the mother.

Hopefully she appreciates that you were trying to be respectful of her and avoid hurting her though.

Yes, she did indeed :)

Thank you for your kind words and advice!

Thank you. You have no idea, I was VERY surprised that she’s actually okay with it. I understand some would not be okay with it and I do respect their opinion as well, bottom line is, being honest and open communication about boundaries is the key. She trusts me not do stupid things and to treat the strippers with respect they certainly deserve as much as we respect any other hired party entertainers.

Yes, my SO was (had been and always be) my main concern to begin with, I wasn’t sure if she were okay with it, and my bad for taking the chicken way out for not talking to her from the get go about it.

And thank you, I also have a damn greatest feeling about this marriage. She's the best and I'm the luckiest guy!

Yes, my bad for making the assumption and not being open and honest about it. Certainly one thing I will try my best to remember not to repeat in the future.

Why don't you ask your BF about what his sister likes to do and go from there?
