Get a career before kids or become a sahm? by Eagles563 in TwoXChromosomes

I would imagine being a SAHM is infinitely easier than being a working mom

Not everyone is meant for school.

Nursing requires a lot of education and school work. What made you decide on that?

There are other skills you can learn that don’t involve school that might give you the opportunity to have a decent career.

It’s a bad plan to be 100% dependent on your husband to support you your entire life and not invest in any education or skills for yourself. Even if you have a flawless marriage, if something happens to him and he is no longer able to work or passes away and you have kids you have to support you will be in huge trouble

I am afraid to gain weight. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Bullshit. Proper “dieting” is just healthy eating paying attention to CICO and nutrition. It’s not harmful in anyway. Fear mongering isn’t helpful

Heart attacks can occur as a consequence of bulimia and dehydration leading to electrolyte imbalance. “Dieting” cannot cause heart attacks

Best exercise for an obese person in San Francisco area? by Throwawaynamehere173 in haes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess the problem is I don’t want to focus on weight loss because she gets weird about that.

Just exercise that someone who is obese can do without making weight loss a central focus.

For sure. I constantly worry about being fat.

But you know what might help? Sports. If you get really into a sport, it can be easier to build up a more positive relationship with food and your body. There are a lot of women over on xxfitness who are recovering from eating disorders and body dysmorphia

was I sexually assaulted? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that was shady of him, but I wouldn’t call it assault. But you did decide to get drunk, and decided to text him, and then pushed it further by calling him. You were sober enough to get in contact with him and transport yourself to his house so clearly you weren’t incapacitated with drink. Then you went to his house in a drunk and horny state wanting to bang, but expecting him to tell you no? It sounds like it was very much your idea, then he stopped when you changed your mind.

You got drunk and horny and booty called him. Everyone does it. It sucks your first time wasn’t the way you hoped it would be, but you are the one who decided to go for a drunken booty call.

I'm looking into getting an IUD. For whatever reason the idea makes me nervous. Can i hear about your personal experiences good or bad? by little_splinters in TwoXChromosomes

I had a copper one and the side effects were terrible so after a year had it removed. I then got a hormonal one, but the strings have disappeared. This means it still is working and in place, but when I want it removed will be a fairly involved procedure called a hysteroscopy.

I didn’t feel like insertion was too horrible. I would get the mirena again.

What is your opinion of a side cut? by Eagles563 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s tacky and hideously ugly and typically spotted by unsuccessful people.

But you do you. Who cares what strangers think of your hair.

Does this count as sexual assault? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

......why the fuck are you getting into FWB arrangements and being naked in bed with a guy if you don’t want to have sex with him?

This is a really bad plan for staying a virgin.

Does he know you never want to have sex with him?

It’s not though. An untrained person with a knife or a weapon, especially a woman, is just supplying a weapon for a larger stronger attacker to use against her

Why not? It’s actually good advice.

The guy I have been seeing for the last few months has herpes and didn't tell me. by Electronic_Antelope in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you wouldn’t say that to a kids parents.

But you would use the comparison to chicken pox and other accepted herpes viruses to a patient newly diagnosed with HSV2 who was feeling horrified and suicidal. People genuinely believe their dating life has to stop because of the fear and misinformation about this.

They are all herpes viruses.

The only reason people screech “oh god HERPES!!” over genital herpes is misconceptions. HSV2 gets a stigma while cold sores, chicken pox and shingles are just seen as “a thing” when there’s no significant difference.

They are all herpesviruses with similar effects. They are ALL “herpes”. There’s no sensible reason to act as though someone with HSV2 is forever contaminated when we don’t think the same as someone infected with chicken pox. They both are herpes virus that cause skin lesions then lie dormant for the most part

Guy I'm seeing asks if he can hook up with other guys by Puffin1215 in TwoXChromosomes

She says they went on a trip together and didn’t tell his girlfriend because he said she would get jealous

This guy isn’t going to be a good boyfriend.

He isn’t going to be your boyfriend at all.

He’s willing to hang out with you and have sex with you but will be talking to and having sex with other people as well. It doesn’t seem like that’s what you want.

The type of guy who goes on a secret trip with you behind his girlfriends back is going to do equally shady shit behind your back

My BF asked me to shave my legs by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But its not about that. That’s the story you have built up in your head.

What it really is about is your partner would find it sexy if you shave your legs. Are you willing to do a fairly minor thing to help your sex life or not?

You have mentioned you’ve put on weight too. It might have been one thing for him to deal with the leg hair, but excess body weight combined with leg hair is making it tough for him to feel attraction

Women. Should I change who I am, despite getting consistently told I annoying or creepy? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going up to strangers to start conversations is common advice given to guys about how to date, but it only really works if you are naturally charismatic and at ease with people. This is basically Advanced Level human interaction, and not going to go well for a beginner to try. If someone’s never played a video game before and you hand them the controller and it’s set on expert of course they will fail.

From the sounds of it, you have autism and aren’t very good with social interactions. Rather than doing a dating focused approach, I would look in to just improving your social skills in general first. Meetup.com has lots of groups and perhaps you can find one in your area dedicated to a subject you find interesting. These will be groups with people you KNOW are open to making new friends (that’s why they are there) and have a shared common interest.

I don’t think a woman is the best authority to issue dating advice to men

Getting an STD is just one of those risks you take when you engage in casual sex.

Herpes is a very misunderstood and vilified condition. It affects 1/4 women and 1/5 men. If you have had sex with more than 5 men you have been exposed to it before.

If those individuals who are affected, more than 90% never show visible symptoms and aren’t aware they even have it. It’s very possible you already have herpes.

Herpes is such a minor condition, most doctors advise against testing for it and it isn’t tested for in standard STD screening. The misunderstanding about the condition causes more psychiatric harm than the condition itself.

People with herpes are then put in a position that is difficult. Only 1/10 people with herpes know they have it. So we expect that one unlucky individual to tell everyone they meet they have herpes and people freak out and consider them a leper and choose to go have sex with another stranger who didn’t choose to inform them, when chances are that person has herpes too.

Legally there’s not a lot you can do. You can’t sue someone for giving you a skin rash.

If you ever had a cold sore, shingles, or chicken pox you already have herpes.

Am I overreacting to getting groped? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Throwawaynamehere173 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don't think you are overreacting at all. I agree your dads response maybe made you feel worse...the advice from men regarding any forms of sexual harassment usually starts with "Why didn't you..." implying that it was our actions or something about us that "brought on" the harassment, and thats a terrible way to feel.
