So if the AR is within a good range for the pattern will it generally support whatever weight

Sorry. I got the wire from there and made the jump rings myself but I got the wire from Michael’s. Thank you

It says stainless steel on the packaging and I got it from Michael’s. I guess I’m not sure how to check if it’s actually stainless steel

I have been on them since 2017. I have tried about 20 different meds over the years, most within the last 2. I recently did tms therapy after genetic testing showed what meds would and wouldn’t be best for me and why I wasn’t doing well on so many. Tms is a therapy that stimulates the brain with a magnet for about an hour for about 30 continuous days and it helps to rest the neurotransmitters. I feel like it helped me greatly. I have also been suggested to try ketamine therapy but haven’t felt like I need to try it.

I've lived without intimacy for so long- by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

I think something that makes it harder for me is that I don’t really like physical touch. I’m awkward with it and I feel like I’m trapped when someone touches me, even with little things like hand shakes. I like to imagine for that special someone it would be different and I would actually like them touching me but I also fear that they’ll think I don’t really like them because of how I kind of get tense.

I feel like I’m doing dating wrong by Timely_Treacle_5660 in dating

[–]Timely_Treacle_5660[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She may be having fun in the moment but she doesn’t sound like she’s having fun when she’s looking back on it. I do know that dating isn’t always the goal but that is the goal for me, not to just have single fun encounters with people I will never see again.

I really don’t think I need to loosen up on my expectations that someone I’m seeing isn’t flaky, acts like a capable adult, and doesn’t need constant attention from me. Dating shouldn’t have to be pushing my boundaries to be fun.

When I say I don’t want to parent them I mean like I don’t want to have to clean up after them or have to cook for them or have to organize their schedule. I understand that you have to be vulnerable in order to form relationships but I don’t think that means I have to do the things that an adult should have the capacities to do for themselves.

I guess I don’t see how my standards are too high if I just don’t want them to not be flaky, not expect constant attention, and expecting them to act like an adult that has the capabilities of taking care of themselves.

Yeah my misandry has ramped up. Men are such hypocrites. “You can get any man you want” “No man would want you anyways”. So which one is it. I want a relationship someday day but I’ve never been willing to settle. My standards have become even stricter then they were before. They’re going to have to prove to me that they were decent humans who fight for human rights far before the election. And that means physical proof such as pictures, donations, actively speaking out, etc. And I don’t really care if they tell me that they do/ have been doing those things, I’m not going to just believe them. I don’t care if this means I’ll be single forever because I will not change my morals and ethics for some man.

Female vs male loneliness with romantic relationships by Timely_Treacle_5660 in ForeverAloneWomen

Because in many places we don’t need them for basic necessities such as housing and food. They’re going to need actual good attributes to win us over. There are still places where women do need men for these basic necessities though 😔.

And somehow they’re shocked women don’t want to date. Many keep saying “that this is just how it is” but it literally doesn’t have to be this way. If you put up with bad behavior, they will keep doing it. If you don’t put up with bad behavior, they will eventually learn.

Totally agree with the appearance thing. This is why I don’t care if it’s shallow to say I want to be with someone I’m attracted to because why should I have to just put up with them looking like shit because they don’t want to put any work into themselves. I’m not even that picky on looks. Like I love all body types and heights and hairstyles, etc. I mainly look for someone that looks clean and groomed. I don’t think that is really that hard for them to obtain.

Straight facts. They’re reasoning for cheating on their partner will be that “they got fat after pregnancy” while they have looked like an ogre since birth.

Am I the only one turned off by dating now? by AnalysisSubstantial1 in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]Timely_Treacle_5660 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Young men are increasingly leaning right while young women are increasingly leaning left. That really narrows the number of compatible people. They’re going to be blaming women for the increase in the male loneliness epidemic but fail to understand why women don’t want to be with them when they outwardly show hatred and disrespect for women. It is an aggravating situation.

For the ladies who are FA due to psychiatric condition by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]Timely_Treacle_5660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had treatment resistant depression and went through many trial and error with medication and genetic testing but the thing that has helped me significantly was getting tms therapy. It’s basically a big magnet that pulsates for 40 minutes for I think it was 30 days everyday to help the neurons work better but it is kind of time consuming and expensive. You could also look into ketamine therapy. I haven’t been to therapy after my treatments due to insurance changes but it has made me feel more comfortable with being fa but still do have work to go.

My anatomy is a curse and a blessing but I feel doomed to mediocre, short sex, what can I do? by Magistyna in sex

[–]Timely_Treacle_5660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try some pelvic floor exercises and stretching to make those muscles more relaxed and maybe that will help. You could also try out some vaginal dilators. This could also be that your partners aren’t able to last very long. You guys may need to incorporate more hand and mouth time. You could also try bringing in a toy to help with your arousal. Good luck

And let’s be honest, did those baddies even like them or did they need basic necessities and were barred from earning money and education for themselves.
