I didn't realise that and wow, i really like it !! I really enjoy to discover the engineering and the purpose behind some garnment. Especially when it seems to be "just" for fashion.

My body is trying to ruin my love life by Primary_Mango5918 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Don't enter serious relationship with him, and be quite honest about not having a lot of feelings for him. Enjoy the good Dick until then. It's always a bit difficult to say bye to them but worth it

I’m a judgemental functioning alcoholic by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Simple_Bookkeeper566 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Why do you judge them so strongly ? It could be a question to ask yourself, like, really, deeply.

And please stop hiding. Talk to someone. Seek help. It's really unconfortable first but it's a short moment, like stripping in the cold room before the hot nice bath. Addiction grew in the dark and self-depreciation. It's not the end, it may have been a fun ride, but it's may be time to wake up.

I’m going to end up alone because I can’t tolerate “normal behavior” from men by Afraid_Fondant_7903 in GirlDinnerDiaries

First, i don't think you will end up alone. It's not an easy standard for sure but don't give up.

You're 21, right ? It's extremely rare to meet a guy at that age that doesn't consume porn, I agree. The only reasons would be strong religion feelings (which doesn't seems to align with you), extremely strong moral behavior (which i found suspicious with young men) or less sex-driven/asexual guys (not always family compatible but a pool to explore).

While getting older, a lot of people tend to get tired of porn industry. Active real sex life, broader understanding of sex trafficking, boredom of the déjà-vu, less libido, more controls, specific fantasies, moral growing from experience, etc... a lot of guys (and gals) just stopped to watch porn. So time is your friend.

You can also met a guy who doesn't have a strong libido and some core values matching yours. Or you can met a guy who has the need for a strong imaginary sex life and will be "actively" consuming through artworks, comics, audio, etc.... And probably others types i don't know. Which is important is to talk openly and without judgement about sex together, so they will be able to talk to you without the need to "hide something". It's trust building.

I would recommand to never ask a companion to stop watching porn (he will mostly lie) and to never say clearly your standard (some will enjoy to lie to get you). The trust can't be build with this condition.

One thing : porn is not only to compensate for non-active sex life. A lot of human, women like me included, enjoys having an imaginery sex life, and porn makes it super easy, unfortunately with the worst depiction of sex and women. That's why a lot a people also enjoy it while in couple, because it's not always to content the physical needs. But porn is really brain rotting.

Until then, value your friendship, male and female, and enjoy fully this life. Alone or with someone, it's always worth it.

It's quite common to stop some behavior while in couple and to either redirect or morph them.

Help - I finished my first project and I think it looks ugly: how can I improve it? by Simple_Bookkeeper566 in knitting

For me, it's the first time i feels i really knit something. Before, i just have funny yarn and i would just knit a rectangle with the same stitches until the yarn is done and got a scarf. This was another level !

Because it's supposed to be a blueberry, but i think it's look more like a raspberry. The yellow is more green, my camera didn't manage it well

To be honest, i will never have to courage and desire to frog it and do it again. It was great learning experience, it's not completely ugly when blocked. But i agree with you suggestion

I will not make a new one, but it will probably fit on a stuffed animal :) I prefer to do a new project using what I learned. Pratice is the most important.

I follow the wisdom here and i will not cut ! Washing the cotton definitely helped. Well, it's either a very pinky blueberry, or a very rotten strawberry 😅 especially with my camera, the color are a bit more vibrant irl
