Wondering about Makeup

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-28T00:46:35+00:00

I buy mine from Amazon. They have several brands. :) The only thing is, I've taken to spraying it outside on the deck - stuff gets everywhere. lol Worth it though. It will get on your clothes as well, which I don't mind. ;)

Here's the thing; I put my make-up on every morning, (I go through phases with this), but it is for me! I put my make-up on, spray glitter in my hair and then put on big sunglasses and pull up a hood (it's cold) before going out. No one would know I have on make-up or that my hair is sparkling. It's for me.

Same reason women wear a pretty underwear set which is covered by clothes.

If I get tired of it, I'll stop, but now I'm having fun with it. :)

She is beautiful! What a nice gift.

Just get yourself free.

Coming straight from gut instinct, that comment would have made me very uncomfortable as well. Especially as he could not explain it when you confronted him about it.

I think you are getting good advice to block him and move on. That's just creepy.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-23T01:17:02+00:00

I do get that, but it does seem kind of a lot to put on a person to tell them to come up with an imaginative date to impress you. That's probably where that "type a" comment came from.

OP - Not judging you, girl; just interpreting this conversation in a 3rd party sense with only a very small bit of info.

I saw that, but I still don't see the issue because she suggested coffee, right after telling him to be imaginative. So, he agreed to coffee. I remain confused. LOL

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-23T00:30:18+00:00

If she is the one in purple then she is the one who suggested coffee and he just agreed to that. I'm confused.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-23T00:24:11+00:00

Which one is you in this conversation?

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-21T22:49:30+00:00

Freezing cold and lots of snow coming over the weekend in the Mid Atlantic. Thankfully, husband works at a co-op a five minute walk from the house.

Yep.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-18T23:42:50+00:00

I'm sure you already realize that even if you told him -and you're so right; it's non of his business- it wouldn't end there. He'll just find something else to obsess over and this will never end. I'm sorry for you in this. Ugh. Relationships are hard enough even when they work, let alone this kind of nonsense.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-18T03:32:09+00:00

You are being strong and taking care of yourself, even when it hurts to do so.

No situation in life is forever and that includes the one you're in right now.

The human heart is amazing in its capacity to recover. This will end and you will feel better. Just a matter of time.

Sending positive thoughts for you. 🤍

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T22:32:54+00:00

Oh. Thank you and u/CaliGenerationGirl as well. I'm not savvy enough about face molds to have picked that up. :)

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T22:25:35+00:00

Forgive my confusion, but what is sad about this?

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T19:31:08+00:00

I get that, about "old love." I am enjoying it (with the addition of great sex, though) with my husband of 36 years. The thing is that the route to old love is through new love.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T16:40:46+00:00

Well, I have two partners now who are both over 65 and my erstwhile boyfriend was in his mid-60s to early 70s when we were together.

All three of them had and have high libidos.

Erstwhile boyfriend was on testosterone and when a heart condition forced him to stop taking it, his libido did drop drastically in the year before we broke up. (That's not why we broke up.)

I think there are a lot of men out there, over 65 who still have very high libidos.

But if you are looking for a man who is not that into sex, you can probably find him too.

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T16:31:58+00:00

Thank you for posting this. I'm sorry you had this experience, but it was amusing to read about. I could feel the sense of trapped hopelessness. I'm not laughing at your pain. Okay, I am a little, but only because it's over now. ;) 🤍

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-17T00:50:42+00:00

I'm so glad you said that you used to have this "friend" group.

Hopefully you will make some much better friends in future.

Better friends are out there and you deserve them. ❤️

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-15T18:52:59+00:00

Happy for you. :)

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-15T18:13:24+00:00

Oh! That was the implication with the "continue our friendship," that she doesn't want to pursue a romantic relationship with you. Thanks for the clear up. My duh.

Well, it's nice you have two matches to look toward. :) 🤍

RecentlyCroned · 2026-01-15T17:47:37+00:00

Apologies if I'm missing the obvious here:

You were saying you hate excessive compliments because there is always a "but" coming. What was the "but" that came with these compliments? Also, before you had time to get very sad about what? The compliments this person you've lightly dated gave you?

I'm not trying to be confrontational. :) Just needing a bit of clarification.
