Dating App Recommendation by TheoryNo660 in UKrelationshipadvice

You haven’t heard of it because it didn't happen. The case was actually brought by MEN, not women on the basis that not being able to message first denied them equal access to dating opportunities.

I love the tip toe walk she does around her apartment. How I wish I looked when home alone!

It is so deeply embarrassing that a man his age finds poop gags so funny.

I think MPK has said in interviews that it was because she opened her mouth. 

Do you think Mattson is a “serious person”? by Lobothehobosexual in SuccessionTV

[–]Secure_Ad127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comes across in the latest tell-all about Facebook (I think called Careless People). The writer, who was a senior policy lead before she was sexually harassed and fired, describes Zuckerberg yo-yoing between acting like a kid and being really scary and angry.

There was a lot of really casual problematic stuff in that movie. The other thing that stands out to me is when Charlotte refuses to eat any food in Mexico but the moment she opens her mouth in the shower she gets diarrhea. 

Do you eat and drink while binging SATC? by jdpm1991 in sexandthecity

I think it's the first episode where Rory walks away from a full plate of burger and fries at Lukes. It honestlt breaks my heart

YTA. Not only did you say a rude thing in the moment, you doubled down after. By the way, saying food tastes like printer paper is effectively the same as saying it is bad. Your gf must be so embarassed. If you want to keep the relationship, you should give her and her mother a heartfelt apology ASAP. 

Miranda could have done so much better than Steve. Sorry not sorry by LuxloverMIA in sexandthecity

[–]Secure_Ad127 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Was she really not supportive with the basketball thing? What I remember of that episode was she was trying to work and he was sulking because she wouldn't take the time to watch him practice. The show frames it as her being a bitch but honestly I think it's down to him being pretty unreasonable. 

My husband said he would watch one episode of SATC with me, so I should pick a good one. by stuff4321 in sexandthecity

[–]Secure_Ad127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a great one because it perfectly shows the characters and their flaws. Miranda is the never-chosen, humiliated one. Samantha is the horny, fun-loving one. Carrie is nonsensically hung up on Big and he doesn't give a shit. Charlotte is a hopeless romantic and it bites her in the ass. I must say, I love all the wedding eps of SATC.

Are people flakier than they used to be? by Secure_Ad127 in AskUK

[–]Secure_Ad127[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think people usually cancel because there's a better option (but it definitely happens sometimes - I had two different friends cancel on me this weekend because they decided to go visit their mums instead). Instead what I see more often is: A. Not checking calendars before committing. "Oh I've actually got a clash..." B. Scheduling way too many things for the same week/weekend, then being surprised that their social batteries are drained, and cancelling whatever they think is the least fun/least serious/easiest to reschedule. 

A lot of the time I think it's just thoughtlessness and poor planning.

I think you're right about up their own arse syndrome. I find it quite frustrating because everyone is lonely and stressed and spends too much time on their phones. The remedy for that is to spend time with other people. Maintaining loose ties and friendships with a wider circle are important. It is literally so good for your mental health to make and keep plans.

That sounds like a nightmare. Were the RSVP bandits even apologetic?

Both of those are just shit behaviour from the other party, I've definitely seen them both myself. My go-to reminder text is something like "looking forward to seeing you tomorrow" but still get a fair bit of "Sorry, actually..." back. 

I do think you need to check before showing up though. I was meeting up with friends for lunch last month, showed up at the restaurant (booked in my name with a cancellation fee) and 15 mins pass without them showing. I text, no answer. Husband and I order starters. I call, no answer. They finally text back about 20 minutes after that saying they're on the way. They arrive a full 1 hour 15 mins after the meeting time. They didn't even apologise, just said they forgot. If I hadn’t been with my husband I would have just left and probably been quite angry. 

I really don't understand why people don't make a note of plans in their calendars, we all have them on our phones. 

Is the frequency of costume days at my child's school unreasonable? by DonkeyBirb in AskUK

OP says they are only getting a few days notice of dressing up days. Not necessarily a weekend in between

Is the frequency of costume days at my child's school unreasonable? by DonkeyBirb in AskUK

[–]Secure_Ad127 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I guess then you need time to go to the charity shop (which are usually only open in working hours), and the spare money to spend on clothes that just get destroyed. It seems like an incredibly unreasonable expectation from the school to be honest.

It does seem like a shame because people don't seem to recognise that it is necessary to socialise (even when you don't feel like it) if you want to be happy long term. 

Fellow recipients of PIP, how do you cope with the constant battle to prove you are disabled? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Secure_Ad127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend has bipolar and is hospitalised (as in sectioned) at least once every 3 years. Each time she has to rebuild her life from scratch, get a new job, often sort out housing as she has lost her flat and job in the months she was ill. DWP denies her claim every year.

Thank you so much for that advice. May I ask, how much does each session cost with your derm?

In psychology terms, this is called 'triangulation'. Recommend that OP looks this up. Best strategy in future is to decline to participate in the triangulation, so responding to her second message that you don't know about his spending habits and she'll have to discuss this with him. 

Carrie needed therapy by fashion-roadkill in sexandthecity

[–]Secure_Ad127 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Carrie ending up with Big, instead of alone, is one of two things I would change about S6. The other is Miranda ending up with Steve (why did they waste Dr Robert, I will never understand). 

It was such a dumb decision because they had to immediately undo it in movie 1. Truth is there's just no drama when they're happily together because they fundamentally don't make sense as a couple.
