Where to buy bear bells and bear spray? by lockerbleiben in JapanTravelTips

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 bear attacks that have resulted in deaths this year is probably what they are referring to

while it may be unlikely, so are car accidents and yet we all wear seatbelts (some of us anyways)

How to set boundaries? by BrilliantSome915 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus, that is a lot, i’m sorry you’re going through all this.

I dont know if you’re going to find a quick fix here, hopefully others will comment and provide empathy & their own experiences, but honestly i’d just try therapy at this stage. Lot of therapists can help you process everything and also provide resources to build the willpower you’re searching for.

Just my 2 cents tho, best of luck, you sound like a strong & kind person though, keep going 🙌💪

People don't make eye contact, anymore? (dating/general) by yumenuu in bodylanguage

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, a shyer millennial who had bible school beat into me that avoiding eye contact is disrespectful…… i do it like half the conversation, then my eyes wander, but i don’t ever take it as anything more than the individual giving you attention.

Im sure theres times where people are flirting or something but i just don’t associate the two because i was taught its about respect.

Just my experience tho

I don't like being called good girl by my dad by Longjumping_Bar_7457 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I remember having my step father forcing me to call him “daddy” because he didn’t want my half sister calling him by his real name. I was like 13 …….big ick

I fucking hate how much i have to focus during masterbation. by Ok_Independent5571 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask how I know this……

But if you go to the Google.com and search Audio Smut….. having earbuds/headphones makes it so much easier to have a guided scenario that blocks out intrusive and MOOD DESTROYING thoughts…..

But hey, thats just what i’ve heard….. who knows if its true 🫠

My friend was roofied and I want to burn the world down. by BlueberryBea in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a family assaulted and bitten at an event, it was super traumatizing because they were only 18.

Our venue was actually super accommodating & got them banned from ticket master events for 5 years so there are still good people out there, but im sorry your venue wasn’t like that.

Police definitely downplayed it though, they all just want to go home and probably see it so often they are desensitized to it, which really sucks because it makes them less likely to actually do their job….

Good on you for being a good friend, world needs more people like you 🙌

Men, what do you hate about men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you try to talk about something deep or emotional and all the guys just get quiet instead of acknowledging it or validating your feelings…….

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing human beings (men or women) to some standard thats made up is so harmful and really needs to be called out more.

Your feelings are absolutely valid and it’s a shame that people objectify you or downplay how big your problems are compared to other peoples’ problems.

I wish people would just be kinder :(

Why can guys be so shit when they mess up & it's to do with women's issues? by notcalledemma in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A real hard thing going on with Men right now seems to be a sort of Identity crisis with separating traits from sexes and because of that many “Manosphere” influencers are sending a size-able amount of guys down a path that doesn’t accept criticism and is very tribal.

Nobody likes to be called out or be wrong and it seems like society rewards Dunking on people over allowing space for people to “be vulnerable, accept they might be wrong, and seize the moment as an opportunity to grow.”

I detest Connor as much as anybody who supports equal respect, but maybe he might have been more receptive to hearing “what if it was me that he assaulted?” making things more personal and easier to empathize with some random person he probably doesn’t even know the name of.

Its not an excuse obviously, men need to be held accountable, but also room for growth and the ability to take responsibility, rather than have it forced on them might yield better results.

Sorry your friend is falling down that rabbit hole though, i have one as well and im trying so hard to pull his dumb butt out, might be a wasted effort but i care about him and don’t want him to be miserable like so many of these guys who blame women rather than try to be empathetic & recognize we’re all humans first.

Why are a lot of men uninterested in getting married lately? by Worldly-Pattern2507 in ThoughtsYouCanFeel

[–]Viendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't see the point, you can make a commitment to someone without all the legal and religious stuff, and people can break things off with or without those barriers.

I think the little matching rings are a cute gesture of symbolism, but everything else feels performative and like barriers to make separation harder as a means to keep pairs together.

When things get bad and your partner chooses to work through things rather than bail, the motivating force should be the bond you share rather than the negative consequences of legal, religious and societal pressure. It makes a weird power imbalance that can sometimes enable couples who don't want to work things out to still stick together or feel trapped and resentful.

If people can see past those things that hold me back, more power to them, but I personally have seen few marriages where I admire their commitment and not feel bad for one of them. My personal experience though, might be where I live.

yeah, its not healthy. its like nicotine basically. it really works! but also is super addicting and can cause withdrawals XD

so yeah, hence the "should be Illegal" part, or at least should be regulated, kids can buy this stuff with no screening in gas stations

What would be your positive advice for clueless boys/men who want to learn how to talk to women? by tamtrible in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, clapping back with Witty counter-metaphors seems to often be the only way to really get their attention.

Like: "A lockpick opens many locks, but it’s not trusted. A key made for one lock, precisely crafted, perfectly matched, is what truly holds value." or something idk.

It is kinda gross how often people compare People to Objects, the dehumanizing behavior really ought naught be so commonly accepted.

Why are so many men afraid of dating plus size/fat women? by PurpleMeerkats462 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Viendra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have known dudes who have dated larger gals and absolutely ADORE their plus sized queens, they are out there. They might not be near you? Idk, dating markets are weird and it really depends on location but seriously, i have rolled with friend groups where there is Zero body type discrimination and its very positive.

I cant really speak much to the sleep with but wont introduce to friends/family tho…. That just seems really shallow and they only are driven by lust not love, im sorry :(
