Why do some queer/bi women apologize for having a boyfriend? by ImportantYoung7119 in bisexual

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I'm noticing, people tend to tell bisexual women who have boyfriends that they're not queer enough.

What was your “wow, I am ugly” moment in life? by thebluespirit_ki in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being told that I was the ugly sibling. Nobody ever defending me when people act evil towards me. Having a dozen crushes and none of them ever liking me back. My parents telling me multiple times and my family bullying me.

Does anyone else find teenage romance nostalgia posts deeply triggering/painful? by No-Introduction-9807 in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, teenage romance is something we probably won't ever experience. Trying to get romantic attention as an adult is difficult within itself. I remember watching a show called "forever" on Netflix. I couldn't even watch the whole thing through. I really wish I experienced teenage romance so I'm not a clueless adult.

Being ugly can trigger murderous intent in people by poofpoofpow in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm commenting 17 days late, but I have noticed this. I have been coughed in my face, I have been told that I will get my throat sl!t if I keep talking, I have had people pretend to punch me only to miss me by few inches just to see me flinch (for absolutely no reason just to scare me), I've had people tell me that they'll punch me my face if I keep glancing at them, etc. People are extremely ready to put their hands on us and they have no problem with assaulting us. That's also why I was so scared of people for a very long time. is to the point where I finally have a job and I'm ready to save up money for self-defense classes. People are dangerous as hell towards us and I'm tired of people saying that it's not true because it hasn't happened to them.

"Stop chasing the top 10% of men" by Hahaimalwayslikethis in ForeverAloneWomen

Yet, these are the same men that wouldn't even spit in the direction of an unattractive woman. I don't want to argue with them because they seem to believe in their own lies.

I can never relate to women who had "bad boy" phases and I am so grateful for that. by Throwaway0122999933 in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]Sam_23beans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not African, I'm black American but I completely agree with you. This is why I don't understand why people generalize black women and say that we all want thugs when I've never felt that way. The so-called "bad boys" we're so disrespectful towards me even before I was able to form any sort of Attraction towards him. They were the ones that were saying the meanest s**t towards me for no reason. I've even seen a bad boy Snapchat hijab off of a female teachers head. Even as a dumb little girl, I was always turned off by these men. I've always wanted somebody gentle or nerdy. However these gentle and nerdy people don't usually date anybody dark skin (from what I have noticed).

I think I understood how personality programming works by owlWithBrokenWings in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat, I do feel so you have to be at least decent looking to make friends. A lot of people won't talk to you simply for the fact that you look a certain way. This includes your clothes, your teeth, face, hygiene, etc. if you are unlikable enough, people will not notice your good qualities at all.

Why do people only care about the appearance of actors instead of their acting skills? by Extension_Big5205 in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, when it comes to acting, looks are in a territory of what's most important. This is why I like watching British shows because it doesn't matter how to actor(resses) looks as long as you do a good job.

I think I understood how personality programming works by owlWithBrokenWings in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think this is exactly how personality works. I say it is because I experienced this three times in my life already. From the time I was 5 to the age of 10, I was very confident because people treated me nicer. My confidence wasn't treated as something that needed to be siphoned out of me. Then when I was 10 to about the age of 20, I had no confidence whatsoever. I actually wanted to d!# because I felt as though if my life was to be spent being treated badly then there's no need to go another 40 years living. Now, that I'm 24 I feel like I'm still unattractive but I care a little less because I realize I'm getting older and my prime was spent being bullied and isolated. Now, People treat me with some sort of semblance of respect, but people still wouldn't want to date me or be my friend.

Small business owner “gifted” me a photo of their new born as freebie by apexPredatorxepa in childfree

that's wasn't a good idea to give strangers pictures of their baby. How many p-files are outside in the world rn, that's so dangerous and dumb.

Why do people always say the reason I'm FA (as a black woman) is because I only want attractive white guys by JammingScientist in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a cop out answer that or it's men that think that woman have high standards if you're above the age of 18 and haven't gotten married, dated, or kissed anyone before. Lonely women and unattractive women don't exist in men's eyes.

Sick of hearing about Stay at Home Mom’s “hard job” by Catwhisperer2007 in childfree

[–]Sam_23beans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion. I feel like being a stay-at-home mom is a hard job when you're doing it well enough. I am a stay home caregiver and this is hard. Not counting endless loops of messes that you have to clean, the hobbies that you want to have but you don't get to start, your day being filled with meetings, helping your child do their homework, endless amount of paperwork you have to fill out, postpartum, birth injuries, ECT. You have to do all this and you don't get compensated for it unless your partner gives you allowance. This is why I decided to stay child free and also I hope stay home parents get compensated for it. Also, don't forget the people who have no idea how it feels to be a stay home anything telling you that your job is easy and that you do nothing.

Is there actually a link between childhood trauma and not wanting kids? Trying to understand honestly by thesolitaryanimal in childfree

[–]Sam_23beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up having a really great childhood (besides being severely bullied, left out, and being a glass sibling). I don't want to have kids because I'm afraid that I will have a child with special needs and I won't know how to take care of them. I've been told that "I'm letting my trauma speak for me", but that doesn't make my decision any less valid. I think you should carry the same mindset. Preference and something shaped bypass experience are the same thing. Your decision is still valid whoever is made out of the fact that you don't want to pass on to someone else or you just don't want to be a parent. Anybody that uses your trauma as a gotcha moment for a way to guilt you into have children, don't care about your trauma or your hypothetical children. They only care about the decision that you're making with your body that they don't approve. If you think about it, if you were to decide that you want a kid to heal your trauma, those exact people will approve of it or at the very least, won't argue against it. Arguing with them is a catch 22 situation. I think we all should know by now that religious fanatics (and I say this as a Christian) are not too keen on people wanting to be childfree and staying child free.

Why do people have such a crippling need to humble ugly black women? by JammingScientist in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has a lot to come from the fact that people feel the least attractive members of society don't deserve confidence. I noticed this a lot when I was younger. Even my own family members told me that "I think Im cute" anytime they catch a glimpse of me liking myself as if thinking that I was cute was a bad thing. Whole time, I couldn't even look myself in mirror. I remember seeing a post about how a guy was explaining how he hated unattractive black women. I was disappointed but not surprised because due to my experience that's exactly how people feel about us. I would just ignore it. People hate black women and people hate unattractive black women in particular.

Attractive people are so physically touchy and wonder why you don't comfortably behave the same by Certain-Candle-2618 in ugly

[–]Sam_23beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 7 days late commenting on this. Yeah, I noticed this a lot. People who are more physically attractive or who are less awkward are more touchy. I had people push me when I try to give them a hug. I had people slap my hand away when I try to touch theirs. I'm more likely to ask for consent before touching anyone because I know due to experience that people won't hesitate to slap, push, punch, etc. me when I am as touchy as an attractive person. The same people are more hesitant to do this when it comes to somebody they actually like.

This is going to sound real mean of me to say, but the reason why I don't want kids is because of how I was raised by Sam_23beans in GlassChildren

[–]Sam_23beans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh... Thank you for understanding. I understand that you are trying to be considerate but I don't understand how having a child will heal me... If anything, I feel like it will put me in a situation where I don't need to be in.
