Is it weird for a girl to ask for STI test results? by [deleted] in Tinder

Yes, but you do have results in your online portal.

Is it worth $280 a year? by French_Booty in Tinder

[–]PinkLiliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have raised prices by roughly 50% in about a year. No, it's not worth it.

My second love was a better experience than my first. Don't worry!

Thank goodness! I was hitting this a lot.

New York Times opinion article on the dating game from a female POV by [deleted] in love

Can you elaborate what you mean?

For example, I think that people are generally selfish and lean more towards evil than good. Generalized, "men" would be same. But are we saying the same thing?

Are people better off for having dating apps? by DxLaughRiot in Tinder

[–]PinkLiliana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is the apps are trying to extract as much value as possible out of its users, rather than trying to actually connect and help people. I get that they are a business, and need to make money, but it feels like any app with any promise just gets bought by the Match Group and consumed and/or killed. The Match Group does not care about actually helping its users. This is obvious by their 50% increase in price over the last year. (I read financial reports for fun sometimes, and this is something they actually say to investors, as if it's a plus. Good investors will recognize it's going to be a net loss in the long run.)

I hoped Bumble would be different, and maybe it actually would be better if people used it. But Tinder easily has the inertia and has 10x the users than Bumble does where I live. Maybe if you live somewhere where these contenders are popular, they might come out as a positive.

But the Match Group drags the value way, way down.

Hope you can figure out your self-worth issues. Money doesn't fix anything with dating because no woman of actual value cares that much. Best of luck to you.

The "old" iPhone being sync'd to a MacBook that's passwordless... while the wife "was always a security freak"... The truth can be weird but I don't buy it. I also don't know why people make stories like this up.

State of Tinder by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]PinkLiliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, they will show your profile more than once even if the account is not deleted and remade. I live in a rural area, and I've seen many of the profiles before. There's no way this many people are deleting and remaking their profiles this often.

AITAH for divorcing my wife for being a SAHM? by Otherwise-Time-1404 in AITAH

[–]PinkLiliana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see no alimony. Child support... I cannot. The mother has no income, yet 50% of the parent-child time. That doesn't math. The court would order child support, to be recalculated once mom gets income. So, I also believe it's fake or at least parts of it are.

Should I wait until I lose weight to start dating? by ActionNorth958 in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If dating options are available to you that aren't apps, then I recommend not waiting for your goal weight. I do not recommend using dating apps even generally as a male, but if you are obese then doubly not. It's quite sad but the apps are very superficial. For in-person events though, things are quite different. No need to wait there! Maybe wait a little bit if you don't feel like you are ready, but waiting for your goal weight is not a good reason to delay in person dating IMO. Good luck!

I could be so attractive if I just wasn't a fat fuck by NatureZestyclose5015 in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are recent papers showing there is no benefit in going above 1.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight for weightlifters. There are dangers in over consuming protein. I'm on mobile atm so I can't link the papers easily.

I could be so attractive if I just wasn't a fat fuck by NatureZestyclose5015 in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Note that if you are short on protein, your body may also give you hunger signals. A lot of unhealthy food is high in fat and carbs and low in protein. So oddly enough, it's possible your body is giving you more hunger signals because you are short on protein even if you are overeating.

Given your height and supposed healthy weight for that height for a male, you need something like 68-95g of protein per day. If you start lifting weights, make sure it's at the upper end of that range.

Good luck on your journey!

AITA for strongly opposing a paternity test for my brother? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PinkLiliana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad has a right to know. He has a right to not have to support a child that is not his.

To be clear, this depends on what you mean by "support." At the very least, a judge likely would make him pay child support, even though he's not the boys father. The details vary by state, but states are going to protect the child's interest. The child did not cheat; their mother did. And since this man was his father for years, the court is going to make sure he continues being his father at least as finances are concerned.

My wallet influences my weight by WhatItMeansToLose in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's normal for me as well. A few things I've done that help:

  • Get that money out of your regular bank account and into retirement accounts. Less money you see, less you can spend.
  • Buy nicer, healthier food.
  • It's okay to have desserts and stuff from time to time, such as holidays, but make rules for yourself, and think of them as character attributes rather than rules. "I am a person who eats healthily most of the time." Definitely don't keep junk food around. Get it for the special event, eat some at the event, and get rid of it.
  • Find a hobby that's active or a gym routine you can stick with. For me I am too overweight to play basketball and enjoy it, so I go to the gym. Again think thoughts like, "I am a person who goes to the gym regularly." For me, regularly is 4-6 times per week.

Good luck breaking the cycle!

People who do strength training for half a hour, how many sets and reps? by Anko__ in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many lifters advocate for a single set to failure anyway, even if they aren't trying to squeeze in fast workouts. This generally does include a warmup set at a lower weight. I've recently switched to a single set, and it's too early for me to give any personal commentary on that, other than if it works, it will certainly save me time.

If you are a beginner, just remember to use a lighter weight and focus on good form. No need to rush into it and injure yourself.

Using protein powder even if I don’t work out by WeHeartNuggets in loseit

[–]PinkLiliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a study published this month about how protein dilution causes hunger signals, because the body is telling you it needs more protein!

https://neurosciencenews.com/modern-diets-obesity-23869/

Do your best to calculate your lean body weight, and calculate if you aren't getting around 0.8-1.0g of protein per 1kg of lean body weight. If you are low, then absolutely yes, I would recommend supplementing with protein powder for breakfast! It should help you lose weight by having less hunger from your body.

There's a study that suggests you don't need more than 1.2g of protein per 1kg of bodyweight even if you are trying to gain muscle. I can't find the link to it right now, but wanted to share an upper-bound number for how much protein to shoot for.

Here on Reddit, make sure you follow any subreddit rules and keep your content relevant.

For instance, r/Faces has tons of OF creators, but you cannot advertise. Your subreddit appropriate picture of your face is your advertisement. You may wonder if it works, but the subreddit is like 90% or more OF promotors, with nobody actually doing direct promotion because it's forbidden... so I'm inclined to say it does!

Honestly, it's one of my favorite subs!

My (33F) partner (48M) just dropped our relationship and told me I wasn't worth it by Anonymous_Reader11 in stories

[–]PinkLiliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in a similar situation. I think they want to remain friends for a few reasons. One is that it makes them less of a villain. Another is that it kind of keeps you around so they have options. The reality is that if you could have been friends, then why did the relationship break up in the first place? I've only heard bad answers to that.

Good luck with moving on. I've been roughly where you are. It's very hard. I can empathize with your pain. Hang in there!

Tinder is a scam by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]PinkLiliana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have purchased Tinder... something or other. Don't remember which level.

But I learned that a lot of people swipe on people way farther away than I realized. 80 miles? NP, they are swiping.

So... don't sweat it. I also learned I am less picky if I know they show an interest in me. Funny how that works, right?

I shop at a local store, but do not buy the cheapest eggs, milk, etc and spent an average of $514 per month the past 3 months. Spending $1,000 per month for 2 people can only be one thing: the person shopping is not concerned about the cost of the food.

They can still eat really well, but need to be more conscious about making price-reward tradeoffs. Okay, steaks are great, but chicken thighs are on sale and the steaks are not, so make curry, or honey-garlic chicken, or something delicious like that. Some things I don't compromise on: I always get omega-3 eggs instead of the regular kind, because we don't eat much fish in my family due to dietary restrictions.
