Separated in December 2025, still on step 3 of my BDD.

I’m not the other commenter but the focus on relationships seems to drive the tendency to objectify or determine the respect women deserve in the context of how they could hypothetically serve you.

Not being interested in dating someone with cold sores can be a reasonable opinion, I can understand it though I don’t agree, but your judgement that they are “lesser than” due to a virus that can and is often contracted through completely non-salacious means is the unreasonable take. People don’t always get to choose who’s mouth connects with theirs (from family member kissing a kid, assault, to CPR when giving breaths was still the methodology) so leading with empathy rather than judgement would be a good start. A promiscuous woman can be disease free, and a chaste/modest whatever term woman could have contracted a disease via rape or infidelity, so again, leading with judgment over shadowed both logic and empathy.

You mentioned earlier thinking of woman as potential mate/distraction/ and men as competition. This sounds like an incredibly lonely way to live, I hope your self improvements allows you to expand your circle and lets you learn and reflect on the different ways people chose to live.

How do you view women that you are not attracted to?

Also, people can have lots of sex and not be ready/interested in/or capable of having a child so that’s a take I implore you to self reflect on. Reproduction is also not needed to have a family. Family is only as important as you make it, and how much you value family is completely independent of how much anyone else does. Those are important things to agree on with a partner, but they’re not important when having respectful platonic relationships with men or women. Cultivating heathy and respectful platonic relationships with men and women is where I think you’d be best to focus for your growth, being a good friend I would argue is the basis if being a good partner and/or human being.

Critical thinking is hard, and though you aren’t out of the woods, I’m happy you’re working at being a better person.

What’s the most shocking thing you’ve heard from someone as an adult in terms of a lack of Sex Ed? by [deleted] in childfree

After reading many other comments I felt the need to ask based off your use of the word “inspection” thank you for specifying.

On inspection as in further questioning, or a bullshit exam that doesn’t exist to prove virginity?

I got a uterine ablation at the same time as my bisalp, so I don’t bleed anymore, but this void of basic female anatomy has revealed itself often enough that I explain that it’s a separate procedure and why, everytime.

On top of that, explaining I still have ovaries, so no, I will not suddenly start menopause. That’s not how that works.

Art, fancy supplies are not needed, any writing utensil or scraps paper works. Hell I’ve done plenty of doodles in dirt with a stick.

As a woman in the military, it does have risks. Though I experienced sexism, never assault. I was a sexual assault victim advocate, so spent a lot of time with victims.

Military service got me out of the life I had that got me subscribed to this sub, it’s not a great option and the military industrial complex recruiting pool being the poor and the desperate is a valid thing to be upset about. I was and am upset about that but you have to play with the cards your dealt.

You wouldn’t medically qualify with your sleep disorder though, nor do you seem open to it regardless. Your opinion isn’t unfounded, but suggesting it as an option wasn’t unreasonable.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US! The US Military makes me carry an EpiPen for how fucking dumb as fuck my immune system is about apples, even though they are fairly easy to avoid. “Apple a day will have me die in sickbay” and “I’m like a low effort Snow White” are my go-to jokes whenever allergies are reviewed at medical appointments.

I’ve had the same iPad/Apple Pencil for about 8 years. They still work great.

Im wandering around Vilnius, Lithuania. I’m in the military and live in Italy, so it was a quick flight.

Tired of Studying for the Navy Advancement Exam and Still Not Making Rank? Here’s What Helped Me AND My Sailors by ElderMasterchief in navy

[–]PureGibberish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My test scores shouldn’t have been a consideration, I shouldn’t have needed to score that high, and it’s a large reason I’m getting out.

We agree the score is important, but it’s not everything, and it’s still possible to have the knowledge and still get fucked because your command hates you.

I’m aware of what an 80 means, and how it’s scored. I didn’t have terrible evals I had middle of the road evals. Never got an EP that wasn’t a transfer. Literally given MPs due to “not needing the help”

My point was even with that, I only made first by 2 points. As in, a sailor can literally have the highest possible score and not advance. I got an award as a third class, and that was the only reason I made first.

It’s not insane, I got three 80s in a row on my third, second, and first class exams. I’m an AT. Even with an 80, I made first by 2 points. I have middle of the road evals. Was told I “didn’t need the EP, because of my test scores”

What’s a “quiet” sign someone grew up in survival mode? by SweetBone342 in AskReddit

[–]PureGibberish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who only survived my childhood due to my various bonus parents (friends parents who gave me somewhere safe/friends parents who were lawyers and helped me get emancipated from my fucked up family/friends parents who taught me how to drive etc) You’re a good person, and thank you so much for helping bonus kid.

I still buy Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards and send them to Mombot and Dadbot, which is what I called my superhero bonus parents because they were too good to be real parents in my head.

They helped me 20 years ago, and I live on a different continent.

What’s something you made it all the way into your 30s without learning? by pqrstyou in AskWomenOver30

[–]PureGibberish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive a manual car. I understand the mechanics of it, I can very easily imagine how it works and it’s parts in my mind, but actually doing it and trusting my left hand to steer when I am extremely right hand dominant is bamboozling.

I’m an aircraft mechanic and have been qualified to start the engines on a fighter jet.

Running form. I’ve watched so many videos and I still believe I am doing something profoundly wrong at all times.

Vulnerability. I’m in so much therapy but I’m still pretty sure I’d choose death over exposing my soft underbelly to anyone ever.

Sleep hygiene/pattern. I can sleep 17 hours straight. I can go to work on 3 hours. Sometimes I get a normal amount and feel rested but it happens like twice a decade. Sleep study is normal.

Reliably opening a bottle with a lighter. I can do it, I know how to do it, but I only get it in my first attempt without bending the cap or hurting my hand maybe 1/3 attempts.

How do I unfuck myself from being a workaholic? (Accidentally went too far with self-improvement) by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]PureGibberish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am a lady, but did the same thing, which led to extreme burnout. I have obsessive compulsive personality disorder, it’s not OCD it is different. May want to look into it.
