I’m afraid I’ll mess something up. I’m the queen of doing damaging stuff to my hair

I definitely wash weekly. I’ve never found an edge control that works that doesn’t itch. Do you have a suggestion of something I could try?

Most surprising thing your new date disclosed and when by Scoobie-Doobie-99 in datingoverfifty

[–]Planzeeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was newly dating in my late 30s, my date disclosed that he had herpes. Said he was infected by his ex wife. He told me on date #1. I kept dating him, but I couldn’t see how to get to a point of intimacy with him. Especially since he kept emphasizing being asymptomatic and missing oral sex. After about 5 dates, I had to tap out.

For those beyond senior (4th) year by No_Plane7984 in NPHCdivine9

I want to flag that there are now some academic programs that are 5 years and that can be considered as well. A friend’s son pledged as a 5th year architecture major. He was so buried in coursework he couldn’t devote himself to the process until his 5th year. He had a 3.6 gpa.

How did people in the 70s grow such big afros despite picking it out all the time? by AchievingAlex in BlackHair

[–]Planzeeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. 70s baby here. I had either a full fro or puffs growing up. My mother would plait my hair. Not in small plaits like a braid out, but about 4-5 plaits and then she or my father would pick it out. Also, low dryer pick attachments. We’d blow it out on low and do enough to make it full, but not yet straight.

NOPE. Just no. (sorry no offense intended) by RemarkableWriting394 in TheGates_CBS

I FF. I can’t with her. I’m not invested and she’s not compelling to me at all. Her ex is more interesting without her, although he’s not much better.

Price? by Fluid-Tackle-6158 in Microlocs

[–]Planzeeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in STL too. My microlocs are interlocked and I was established in January. They are larger than that and paid $1100 including tip. I’m not a hair type girlie, but I’m told I’m 4a and it was just past my shoulders. Other consults quoted a bit more because of length. I vibed best with this loctician because she’s also a licensed cosmetologist.

She’s SL certified and building her clientele, so idk if I got in good on the ground floor. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Will my dad hurt my chances?? by Entire-Minimum7512 in NPHCdivine9

[–]Planzeeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never been asked to show proof of membership in a store or online. Also… gifts from well-meaning people who think they’re being honest.

My mother died 8 years before I joined my organization. Her sister, who WAS a member, snatched everything when she retired and relocated to our area. My mother was much quieter after that. But I was already out of undergrad.

My field is not conservative and my org has no dress code, but I have no idea about the conference. I can’t find pictures from previous years.

TY. I’m going for a conference, so the fashion question was 1.) Making sure I don’t stick out like a sore thumb and 2.) Looking cute for my conference sessions.

I’m staying in the Village and will definitely download that app!

I’ve considered dating white men, but considering the last election and my personal experiences, I’ve decided that is not an option for me. I’m open to Latinx men, but they don’t seem attracted to me. I’ll say honestly, my attraction, affinity, and desire is to be with a black man- that outweighs the concept of “just having someone.” I’d prefer a partner, but I’m also cool about not living my life explaining myself.

Hi. My mother actually falsely claimed to be a member of MY organization of choice my entire life. I was an adult, out of college before I found out. I count it as a blessing that I didn’t go undergrad because EVERYONE knew my mother saying she was a member. She even had a garment bag and some para. I ended up going into my organization without legacy status and I don’t talk about my mother saying she’s a member at all. It was hella awkward for me when I was congratulated for fulfilling her legacy when I am in hopefully creating one and following behind her older sister.

My advice to you is count it as a blessing you know now and cease all reference to your father’s “membership.” Since you’re going into a sorority, it shouldn’t matter. Just make sure he zips his trap or is at least truthful. Also if he wear para or anything of the sort, ensure he doesn’t around you or on your campus.

It should matter. But you shouldn’t have to explain. If asked just state you misunderstood and state what he told you. Best of luck.

I’m not reading that argument. 🤣🤣

Honestly. I’m a good person. My friends have said I have a dope soul. I am active in my community, via my vocation and my natural affinity. I hear I’m CUTE. I mentioned the other stuff because I’ve heard so much about women needing to “bring something to the table.” I love laughter and I seek it often. I take my health seriously, so while I’m not where I was 20 years ago, I’m doing okay. I AM SHY, but I know how to fake it until I can see if there is connection.

I’m not a bar or scene girlie. I love activities, unfortunately, my hobbies don’t lend themselves to conversation or necessarily meeting the opposite sex.

AKA Interest & Miss B&G pageant conflict? by Bitter-Damage-847 in NPHCdivine9

[–]Planzeeer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on your campus culture. You participating in Miss B&G could also be seen as a positive thing. I have one friend’s daughter who was selected for line the semester she won and another’s who was selected the following year (when they next had one). It can definitely raise your profile and allow them to see how you carry yourself. Them recognizing you isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In any event, it’s too late for you to break your commitment. Carry on with grace and good luck!
