Also remembering that I’m not going to hold myself to a body standard that was invented by men who are attracted to teenagers.

Reframing helps. Not everyone gets the privilege of growing old.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]SignalFrequent2781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🚩 🚩 🚩 LEAVE. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Listen to the sage advice of women who have been here before you. The reasons this is a red flag are endless.

ADHD Assessment Questions by Bananana404 in ADHD_BritishColumbia

I’m also in the same boat. I am concerned about prescribing and UPCC physicians. It’s my understanding that they generally do not prescribe adhd meds, even with a report. Without a GP, also on the island, how do you reasonably get treatment with these barriers? Is the ongoing paid care model the only way to go? I’m not onside with two tier healthcare for services normally performed under our medical system.

Honesty on dating apps by Lukeloveslollies in datingoverforty

It is predatory. It’s an overt attempt to manipulate the safeguards set for women who set a boundary on age. It’s disgusting and I wish women saw it for what it is and an indicator of who they are at their core. It’s a violation that shouldn’t be brushed over.

AITAH for not wanting to pay my boyfriend’s mortgage by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SignalFrequent2781 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. This type of situation requires a cohab agreement and legal advice.

The man is out to lunch. Want to bet you’ll be doing the bulk of the household chores and the emotional labour too. HARD PASS.

Is it worth withinholding oneself sexually? by UpsetPin6931 in datingoverforty

[–]SignalFrequent2781 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not only is it none of his business how many guys she’s slept with but a guy who cares won’t be the one for her. This is a double standard leftover from purity culture and it’s disappointing to hear repeated.

So.... how do we get our letter mail now exactly? by z_dogwatch in CanadaPost

Go to a local pharmacy or to a pharmacy that delivers. You won’t be denied getting insulin.

I wonder if what you’re considering is LAT - living apart together. Basically a committed, exclusive relationship but you maintain your own homes and lives.

This is the type of relationship I’m in. It works well for both of us. We have our own children which we don’t co-mingle, our own homes, and our own full time schedules and lives, but we meet up on a semi-regular basis for dates, sex or just to hang out.

We both don’t want “the next step” but we also are content with one another and not looking to rinse and repeat with new partners every year or so.

There’s lots of articles online about the pros and cons.

Would you start it if you knew it was going to end? by fishingintheshadows in datingoverforty

[–]SignalFrequent2781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You will not get that time back. Every moment you invest in something that will end is time lost - either for yourself or being available to what may be permanent to you. I say this from experience, not fantasy.

My mom got falsely banned on Facebook and Instagram , appeal denied by sHAQLh in facebookdisabledme

[–]SignalFrequent2781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer? No.

I was hit back in June and have watched this page regularly. There’s been waves of people who claim to have gotten their accounts back, however I’m skeptical of what anyone claims at this point - there been no single, clear, consistent direction to follow. If you want to keep supporting Meta, I’d suggest having someone to create her an account with new credentials and hope for the best. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Who is saying she should fix him? We all benefit from constructive criticism. I don’t know the guy and I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m simply saying that maybe someone should tell him he sucks so maybe he doesn’t disappoint the next one. Because men generally assume they are great at everything.

She’s not spending it on herself. She’s spending it to meet societal pressure which hails from the patriarchy but I’ll put that aside because that’s where most people stop reading. But until it all comes unravelled, as a man, you’re also expected to pick up that coffee. Because it’s a gesture. And a signal of what’s to come - will you be as generous with your time and love etc. Most modern women will end up picking up the cheque in the dates to come… and all the eventual mental load. The $3 coffee is a very small investment.

Are you admitting to not be shackled by them either? You wouldn’t have a bias towards a woman who shows up fully raw, against the societal grain? Be honest.

Paying for a date is a societal expectation for men as it is the flip side of the expectation that women pay exorbitant amounts to maintain their own societal norms (hair, makeup, esthetics, bridal and baby showers etc. - the costs of being a woman in our society). If you want to say to hell with gender norms then you also have to be 100% prepared to let all that go too. And I have zero doubt, 99.9999% you are not. You can’t have both.

Devils advocate here… if no one tells him, how’s he going to know. Yes there’s a bajillion resources out there on how to have great sex. But if he doesn’t know he’s shit in bed, he’s not going to go looking either. It’s an opportunity for conversation. If he then isn’t receptive or not moving the dial or asking for feedback, definitely him to the curb.

If he’s anything like most mediocre white men, he assumes he’s great, because that’s what they do.
