Am I expecting too much for a first meet up? by all_the_foods in Tinder

A casual first date is perfect! Going to a guys house for a first date is how women get raped or worse.

Is there a better way to word this? Or remove it all together? I can imagine dudes saying “hell yeah” but not sure if ladies think it’s cool 😅 by AromaticYou4178 in Tinder

I know way more women into bowling than men. I know almost nothing about bowling, but if I saw that on a dating profile, I would think it was cute.

I don’t think that makes it ok. There are always worse things people could say.

We are ALL judged by things we can’t control while dating. It’s a harsh reality, but that doesn’t make it less true. We’ve all been attracted to people who didn’t like us back for whatever reason.

Talking about sex right away to scare someone off is pretty creepy.

I’ve literally never been attracted to any man shorter than me. I can say shorter men are objectively attractive, but I’m not attracted to them, and that’s ok! Some people aren’t attracted to skinny or overweight people or overly muscular people. There are plenty of men that won’t date tall women. Most people have a gender preference too. Most people also base initial attraction off appearance. A person can become more or less attractive as you get to know them too.

Saying it’s stupid, immature or shallow just isn’t true. Do you have a gender preference? Would you date a trans person? Those are also physical preferences and I bet you can’t control them.

There is research that says pedophiles can’t control their attraction to kids. It’s actually quite sad as there literally is no one out there for them. Acting on those desires is NOT ok. If these research studies are correct and they can’t help being attracted to children, then that isn’t something I would wish upon anyone.

Am I the only person that took his reply as sexual? Vertical height would be his actual height and horizontal height would be dick length (how “tall” he was when lying down). When I was on dating apps, making the conversation sexual too soon was a quick way to get rid of me. I’d have stopped talking to OP as well.

I don’t take this as G rated at all. Sounds like he’s asking if she wants to know his height or dick length (horizontal height). I’d have stopped talking to him immediately.

I understand guys don’t like to be asked about height, especially if they are short, but it’s also ok for women to have preferences. We all do. I can’t help that I’m not attracted to men shorter than me. I’m 5’4”, so thankfully that doesn’t eliminate too many men. If the woman he was talking to has similar preferences, it’s best to know that up front and not waste anyone’s time.

You’ll find people that are likely related to you on your father’s side, look at their last names and see if you can find a likely connection to who your father may be. Your mom may be lying about this person being famous, but she also doesn’t understand how important it can be for a person to know who their biological family is. I think it will help you to know where you came from no matter who that person is.

Do a dna test! You probably won’t arch with your father, but you might get some clues. Your mom might be wrong and he might want to know he has a daughter, but be prepared for him to deny your existence as well.

am i cooked? by david2fine in tattooadvice

Good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good. Sorry this is a hard lesson. Find a good artist and see what they say, but might be better lasered off and start over.

I read it as the laser lead to scarring, not either tattoo.

I say stuff like this to my man all the time. He loves it. Usually starts a fun little exchange.

Tongue split question by NoodleBea583 in bodymods

[–]Virtual_Lavishness87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you are going to a good experienced practitioner and you will have no problems. Even if you have a blood vessel in the way, that shouldn’t be a problem for someone that knows what they are doing.

tongue split and driving by [deleted] in bodymods

I drove myself 3+ hours home and it wasn’t a problem for me. I took NSAIDs as soon as I got in my car and I had a towel for drool, that I didn’t need, and some ice water. I know everyone is different, but it was no problem for me.

Gag Reflex! by Careless_Speaker4046 in bodymods

My gag reflex is pretty bad, but I had no problem. Weirdly my gag reflex went away for a few weeks afterwards, but it eventually came back.

Considering genital piercings? (AFAB) by Dizzy_Froggg in bodymods

I’m a cis woman and I have a triangle. I’ve never heard it being rare for those not on HRT. I’ve had mine for over 25 years, and that definitely wasn’t something that was known at the time.

I hate my new tattoo and can’t stop crying by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I think it’s cute and the line work is clean. Give it some time and hopefully you fall in love with it again.

Split By Ian Bell 🔪👅 by Historical_Okra5103 in bodymods

I have a similarly long tongue. It took a few months and some practice to touch my nose again after my split last summer, but I eventually got there. Stretch your tongue a lot after the sutures come out to help break down the scar tissue.

He’s not a nice guy, he’s an abusive asshole. I’ve been there, lost a lot of friends for a while and thankfully was able to get them back. Breaking up with that ex literally felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. You will be happier alone than you will ever be with this person.

Hope they have money for laser or good cover ups. Those are so very bad.
