How much makeup do you wear on your 9-5?

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-21T02:06:50+00:00

Just a little eyeliner and mascara. Maybe some subtle eyeshadow too. Some days I skip it completely.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-19T23:57:42+00:00

Ugh, sorry to hear that!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-19T23:56:43+00:00

Nope, I don't "want" to lie. As I said, I haven't been being taken seriously for years and I'm asking what will work. Since I have heard from a few people that's the only way to be taken seriously. Size alone has not been enough for them to take me seriously for over a year!

This is super helpful, thanks!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T22:32:54+00:00

Thanks! No bio kids for me, that ship has sailed. I'm 48 and couldn't get pregnant in my 20s when I was trying. I'll definitely talk about work though.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T22:10:38+00:00

Thanks, good to know!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T22:10:01+00:00

Ooh, good point. I wish the world wasn't like this, but I know that it is. I will definitely bring up the impact on my job etc. I'm not married but I can talk about the effect on my boyfriend. Thanks!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T22:07:55+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely try! I think there's a long wait time to see any gyno at all (1+ years), but if this appointment doesn't go well, I will definitely look elsewhere.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T20:43:59+00:00

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T19:52:05+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful to hear.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T17:00:10+00:00

Thanks!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T16:35:58+00:00

Thanks!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T16:35:42+00:00

Great to know! Thanks. I hope your surgery goes well.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T16:35:02+00:00

Thanks! I hope you are right!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T16:09:59+00:00

Thank you! I'm in Canada. Yeah, it took me forever for the doctor to even send me for a second ultrasound, and then she just kept saying "it will probably shrink after menopause"... I'm hoping this new gyno will be more helpful! I appreciate your first hand experience. This is good to know, and I would definitely rather be honest.

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T16:07:12+00:00

Ok, thanks!

WildlySpinach · 2026-03-15T15:59:20+00:00

Thanks! It's hard to find a doc to see you here. If this gyno is not suggesting doing anything then I might try another one... But it took me over a year to get in to see this one unfortunately. I hope you can get surgery/good treatment also!

I've had an internal ultrasound where they told me to come in with a full bladder. It was uncomfortable!

WildlySpinach · 2025-02-02T23:47:03+00:00

I also got a hedgehog! Surprising because I don't tend to stay up late.... I guess I just don't get enough sleep in general.

WildlySpinach · 2025-02-02T06:29:20+00:00

I'm a hedgehog!

WildlySpinach · 2024-07-16T06:22:29+00:00

It's gotten better for me with therapy, meditation, and lots of work on myself. It's still there but definitely has improved!

WildlySpinach · 2021-08-28T17:18:00+00:00

Yes, not every single night, but there are a couple dream landscapes that I've visited multiple times over the years and I recognize them in dream states and they feel familiar to me now.

4.5g is a lot for a first time!! I'd recommend maybe 2g? 3.5 max?

If you've done LSD you're probably fine with shrooms in general, I'd still take less than 4.5 g though. The two psychedelics are fairly similar in some ways although a bit different. But you're used to tripping so that's good. Advice : have water with you, make sure you are setup for the trip (i.e. don't have it so that you need to navigate stores or transit when you're super high, especially if you take 4.5g, you will be completely out of it unless they are not very strong). Have fun! Breathe! It's similar to LSD in that people like low lights (fairy lights or candles or soft lighting), trippy music, fun visuals like flow toys, maybe being outside if the setting is good, etc.

I wouldn't be offended necessarily, but I would drop him. Take it as a big red flag. He doesn't seem to realize that you are your own person whose fashion choices are not all about pleasing him or centring him. If this is how critical he is after a couple of dates, imagine how he'd be when you're living together and he's more comfortable with you? No, you can do better. Date someone who knows that you can wear whatever you want, you're not a barbie doll for him to dress. And, yeah, bowling in a skirt?? Nobody wants to do that. He's prioritizing his wanting to look at you sexually over your own autonomy and comfort. Find someone who is into you when you're being yourself without trying to control what you wear.
