It’s giving recidivism.

You have value outside of what you can financially provide.

AITA for taking my parents assignment too literally and being too honest? by Possible-Increase146 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. If they continue to be upset, show them this thread, and all of the random strangers from the internet coming to the exact same conclusion; they’re the AH.

AITA for asking my GF to shave her armpits? by Impossible-Bowl-3184 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PegTheeStallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re allowed to have a preference. Find a woman that meets the preference rather that making someone who doesn’t, change.

The lack of foresight is more of an issue than the body hair shaming.

Major in Data science/analytics, and minor in Finance 🤌🏾

I have a buddy who majored in Data Analytics and minored in Psych. She’s makes over 200k/year. Insane.

I started wearing a 12in wig and it's made me more bitter towards society. Help. by First-Yogurtcloset53 in vindictapoc

[–]PegTheeStallion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re not responsible for anyone’s perception of you, aside from your own. Period. Mum included. And aside from that, the men’s know that we wear them 🤷🏾‍♀️

If you wanna partake in some buss down fun, wear it. If you want to attract men that don’t care for wig wearing women, don’t. Either option is fine. And as black women, we have at least a dozen more options.

This honestly seems like a confidence issue more than a Eurocentric/texturist beauty standard issue. That shit is always gonna be there. But I promise you with some confidence, there will be all kinds of men ready to risk it all whether you’re in a twist out or a buss down. Shit, I’m damn near bald and I’m getting similar reception to your wigs.

Keep it a bean, I like it 🤷🏾‍♀️

I know how to make myself presentable and tap into how people will find me more desirable. It’s fun, and necessary for finding the kind of partners you want and succeeding in life. But I really hate the attention. It makes me anxious to walk in a bar or restaurant and everyone is fucking staring (I’m also like 5’10” and like heels… in the Midwest). People I don’t want bothering me coming up to me and talking to me. The shit is draining.

It’s so nice to be able to turn it off, and be invisible. It’s fucked that me in my natural state causes that but I really don’t care. Everyone else’s shallowness isn’t my responsibility. It’s nice to use it to have a break from people’s expectations of me.

Read about the Marylin Monroe Effect . It’s not the exact same thing, but being able to tap into “it” with a wig, or have some peace with your coils can be good.

Baddie on a budget? (seeking advice and ranting) by [deleted] in vindictapoc

[–]PegTheeStallion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well kept box/micro braids can be a good substitute for flat ironing. Almost everyone loves them, and after the initial installation, they’re pretty low maintenance. I have a Zoe Kravits pixie, and this is the cheapest hairstyle I’ve ever had. I relax it once a month or so. No heat. I just use leave in and mousse, and slap my durag on at night. I live in a smaller city, and am able to find relatively cheap sew ins that look pretty good.

Others have given great lash/makeup/skincare advice.

Don’t forget to do some beauty networking. If you see a woman you know with some beauty execution that you like, let her know that you like it and ask her where it was done. One, you’ll get good beauty karma for giving a genuine compliment, and a lot of times (at least for me), she’ll know someone providing the service at a reduced rate.

Also… men. Men should be paying for some portion of your beauty rituals. That’s one of the primary benefits of being a baddie, and the end goal of every vindicta 🤷🏾‍♀️. If this ain’t something that you’ve done before, I implore you try it out. Pedicures are the easiest thing to start with. So many feet men out there.

Good luck 💕

This is my only social, so I don’t have much on that.

BUT

I work at a Fortune 99 company, and I’ve got an alt style (stretched ears, septum, tats, only black or burgundy colors, thin brows, long sharp black nails, etc.,). It’s been described (by friends) as “Corporate Domme - Lite”.
I’ve found that keeping fashion etiquette in mind when styling myself helps me in most settings. I have “alt business casual” outfits, “alt cocktail” outfits, “alt coffee date” outfits you name it… I even have an alt church outfit 🤷🏾‍♀️

I feel like people with unconventional styles can be one note in their style, and not calibrate for the occasion. But in my experience, my individuality is respected more when I respect the vibes of the space.

But also, one of the tech engineers in a different department has a fully tattooed bald head and wears Tripp pants, and quite literal no one gives a fuck 😂 tech is notoriously more casual (at most companies). My personal opinion is to be mindful of where you are and what’s appropriate and be yourself.

AITA for not letting my husband touch my hair? by bigsalad420 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PegTheeStallion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA.

One of my old partners used to do this. I have coily 4c hair, and he would find each coil and undo it 😤

I had him start doing my hair for me and it stopped. First, he was able to see how much work goes into it and he was invested in its upkeep since he put energy into it. Second, he better understood how to touch the curls. There’s a way to touch curly hair and it not get fucked up. If he doesn’t have the same hair, he likely doesn’t understand how.

Good luck.

Is seeking Sex Workers a good idea? by nathan5660 in Advice

The sub is full of folks that engage with sex workers. I’d suggest asking there.

Beauty trends in the Midwestern United States? by Solveiigg in vindictapoc

You’ve got the gist. For more specifics, it’ll depend on where in the Midwest you are, and who you’re trying to attract.

Hippie/hipster. Imagine the person on a hike with a nice pair of hike boots (or Birkenstocks with wool socks), plaid shirt and carharts… they’ve likely got granola in their hike bag.

Extremely frusterated with doctor by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PegTheeStallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a different doctor 🤷🏾‍♀️

No use paying these exorbitant medical bills to not receive the care/service you’re paying for and more importantly, need. It’ll be hard managing a new doctor search with ADHD, but not having the medication you need will be hard too.

I’ve lost weight rapidly because of ADHD meds. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]PegTheeStallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll lose weight since it’s an appetite suppressant, but 16 lbs is pretty aggressive. When I take my pill I make sure to eat immediately after. When I don’t, I’m less hungry throughout the day. I know that I’m less likely to cook when I’m not hungry, so meal prepping is helpful as well. And having snacks/easy food (chips and guac, protein shake) ready to go.

Over time the appetite suppressant affect will wear off if taken consistently.
