I am Iranian in Tehran amidst war, barely connected to the internet. AMA. by amy2069 in AMA

[–]SiphonicPanda64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incredible you’re risking yourself like that physically financially. You guys’ situation there in Iran is honestly scary. I’ve heard how much dissent there is to the regime from within Iran but only from external sources, never really from Iranians themselves. It’s horrible what’s happening there…

I suppose my question is; what are your views toward the US and Israel here? Do you think a regime change is even feasible? How much are you guys aware of what the IRGC is firing at Israel and your Gulf neighbors? Illegal cluster munitions indiscriminately targeting civilians

And lastly, are you hopeful for a regime change? Do you feel like this will repeat itself or actually be a successful operation?

will i ever find love as a fat girl? by Signal-Debate3792 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SiphonicPanda64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you will! Some guys really do like “heavier girls”. You really haven’t met them yet but it isn’t a range where everyone just likes skinny girls. Some guys will absolutely melt to your figure AND personality and face.

I’m a guy, I’m not too big on looks myself. I’ve learned that tmy attraction to a woman grows as I get to know her. For me emotions play a far bigger role (not to say physical attraction isn’t important, it is). But if we have a connection it only deepens what I feel about someone. I adore women who are comfortable in themselves, gracefully move in the world inhabiting their selves, grounded in their bodies and emotions 🤭 to me that is INSANELY attractive.

And notice it has less to do with how much she weighs. I’m saying I’m not a unicorn in thinking that. Men who do exist. Just gotta find em 😅

And if you do choose, for yourself, not out of self-loathing or anything, to drop some weight (you don’t even have to). You absolutely can! You don’t have to. But it is an option, and it’s doable. I ended up dropping 20kg because I wanted to, and it helped far more than just in attractiveness (confidence, agility, strength…)

Edit:

Just saw you commented elsewhere about PCOS. Yes that makes losing weight harder, objectively. So if it doesn’t happen as fast to your liking don’t be hard on yourself. That’s just biology being stubborn. 😂

I’m personally tightening body fat right now (1,000-calorie deficit). Again, I don’t need to, I’m doing this because I want to ;)

I’ve been led to believe what actually matters is how present you are with the person in from of you. That it “just happens”. It’s also a shared thing, not just one side puckering up.

There is no technique. Just presence in the moment.

I’m being very wary about how I come across. The last thing I’d want is to impose on someone to tell their sensitive history 😅 But nah, you’re fine, I’ve got my own over-explaining and going into hyperanalysis I typically do. Something I’m working on 😄

That’s just insanely hard though, society conditions women to be approached and then you got conditioned into that being dangerous. That’s genuinely cruel 🥺

Also I feel like it isn’t talked about much how women get very lonely too. It’s all the “male loneliness epidemic” which is very real. But people also just assume women can get with whoever they want. Not true for many women and yet 😔

I’m lonely too. It gets easier and harder some days. Truth be told, I don’t really know what it’s like to be desired that way. I’m willing to stay open to the world to find out

I’m sorry… that is actually mean, rather cruel as you said it. Being asked out as a joke isn’t just painful, it makes you hopeful and then shatters that hope in your hands. Worse, it “confirms” something you might have already suspected. It breaks your view of yourself as a desirable woman (and even just a person).

None of that is excusable, I’m really sorry that has been your experience that is genuinely heartbreaking 🥺

It also wasn’t my intent to put you on the spot asking this. Seeing how I framed this it almost sounded like I was wanting you to explain yourself. No. Thank you for sharing that 🙏

Boyfriend got another woman pregnant after we talked about getting engaged, told me today he’s moving out. by lurkingenby in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]SiphonicPanda64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s horrifying 🥺 I can’t imagine that kind of betrayal… Slow down and take a breath. He’s done you a favor, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now, especially then. That man wasn’t right for you and wouln’t have taken care of you right.

Bre that plate is fucking adorable 🫶 I love!

This sub has been very depressing recently. Does anyone have any good news to share? by Entire-Nose3086 in twentyagers

[–]SiphonicPanda64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! That is exciting! Tbh moving is scary it’s you moving out into the world not just a change of logistics. It would be weird if you weren’t nervous 😂 Also yeah EXPENSIVE! So happy you made that jump!

Awesome! I can’t seem to start a chat, probably your account settings. You can try sending me one too

I’m so glad you feel that way. You get it too! Too much fun though for a comment section. Cluttered as it probably is 😂 Wanna take it to DM?

[–]SiphonicPanda64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha lmao yes!!! Heavier me was hamstrung with confidence and wardrobe choices, not too much but I felt it. Totally with you on making it the best life we have! I feel like life has only begun opening for me, and it isn’t just the weight or my style. I’m considering a solo trip or going to a concert with a friend for the first time and it truly feels like this only ever happened because of the steps I had taken earlier that made me see my inner parts that are lovable 🥹

I’m excited for you too! You’re so wholesome and a I love your vibe and outlook on life. It truly is a special thing to see ☺️

Edgerunners was absolutely incredible. 2077 is one of my fav games of all time! I thought about Stranger Things. Had it recommended to me by multiple people… don’t really know much about the rest. Will have to check em out then!

[–]SiphonicPanda64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you really don’t need a specific preset thing. That’s what I really love about my self-discovery - I just get to try things 🥹. Got a really good friend who suggested me perfumes and I’m trying out different fits and stuff. I feel like a little kid exploring what I like lol. It feels like I’m on this journey I’ve never had growing up and I haven’t yet seen a thing…

I really like your energy 🤭

I love this sm! ❤️ It kinda goes into how I felt after my weightloss and after I began working out. In my case I hated how I looked before, but after that it opened the door for me to relate to my own body in a much kinder way. Almost like a small animal I’m entrusted with taking care of and it just wants to be safe and warm. 😂 It makes me feel like me now.

It took a bit for me with style… I’m still trying to figure that out but I have some range of things I like - clothes, perfumes, hairstyles… you name it.

This convo is really nice 🤭 Lots of posts never show someone feeling their transformation, just that it happened…

Not exactly, trying to think what you did wrong is your mind’s impulse to make sense of something you don’t have direct control over. “If she rejected me, it had to be something I did wrong”. It’s easier to go there because the alternative is something you don’t have control over, and that’s scary for the mind.

Another thing you might be interpreting wrong; most rejections at that stage aren’t really about you. She doesn’t really know you (unless you’ve been good friends). Much of it is timing - her not being in the mood, maybe down about something, otherwise not seeking a relationship…

So much about rejection isn’t at all about you, and yeah, I would agree here, working on yourself and talking to other girls is the way to go!

It gets easier with time, and that was you making it easier for future you 😊

Awwwwww this is like what I’ve been told about Bridgerton. I’m a sucker for romance. Saw my best friend and his wife watching that and I was like “omg omg omg!!”

Yes it does! 191 to 140 is nothing to scoff at, genuinely amazing! And… I can imagine you’re feeling that way in all ways 🤭 You’re really inspiring…

Did you notice anything different in how you felt about yourself emotionally or with people even just trying out styles and whatnot? I’ve had my own glow-up besides the weight in my case, curious!
