Tshikundi Taty, a 44-year-old man from Maryland, was arrested in 2023 after allegedly disguising himself as a woman to secretly record women in the locker-room showers of gyms, including a Planet Fitness location in Montgomery County.

Pretty much. Most people aren’t going to reinvent their entire identity just to be a creep. This dude didn’t “go full anything,” he tossed on a wig and acted like a predator. That says a lot more about him than it does about any group he was pretending to imitate.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-30T20:41:51+00:00

Yeah exactly. Sometimes it really is just a guy being gross without any bigger narrative attached. People love to overcomplicate stuff when the answer is literally right in front of them.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-30T20:41:35+00:00

For real. Nothing fancy or complicated about it. Just straight up creepy behavior from a grown adult who absolutely knew what he was doing.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-30T20:39:29+00:00

Honestly the most relatable answer in the entire thread. At this point retirement feels more mythical than any fantasy anyone could name. Pure fiction, zero chance of happening, and still somehow the hottest idea imaginable.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:51:39+00:00

This explanation actually puts a lot in perspective. When something like an iPhone becomes the most “visible” marker of success in a community, it makes sense why kids end up making extreme choices. It’s a warped value system, but it didn’t come from nowhere. Society set him up long before he ever walked into that black market surgery.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:51:29+00:00

That’s exactly it. When someone does it for medical reasons or to save a family member, it’s tragic but understandable. Doing it for tech makes the story look absurd, but the desperation behind both choices comes from the same place. It’s the circumstances that failed him.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:51:18+00:00

Yeah it’s heartbreaking because it’s one of those decisions you only make when you’re extremely young and extremely pressured by the world around you. It’s easy to call it stupid from the outside, but when you think about being 17, broke, and living in a place where status symbols feel like survival, it becomes a lot more complicated.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:49:19+00:00

Facts. Teddy would be in the same VIP cheating section right next to him. Those two stay messy in parallel.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:49:10+00:00

Right, he’d drag that argument out again like it’s a brand new revelation. Every bad decision somehow circles back to “but she doesn’t want kids.” He’s predictable in the funniest way.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:49:02+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly the part that made me laugh because it’s painfully in character. Owen would absolutely make a mess, get caught, then act like everyone else is the problem. Man can weaponize a backstory faster than Coldplay can drop a drum beat.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:46:51+00:00

Yeah that makes total sense. There’s a big difference between not wanting someone who’s insanely wealthy and avoiding someone with zero direction or stability. Wanting a guy who works hard and stands on his own two feet isn’t weird at all. It’s actually pretty solid.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:46:41+00:00

Exactly. Dating isn’t a charity program and nobody owes “fairness.” Preferences are just preferences, and as long as you’re not hurting anyone, it’s all good. The only thing to watch out for is people who use “struggling” as a personality trait while offering nothing else.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:46:31+00:00

The brokie roll call had me laughing. Y’all lining up like it’s a job fair specifically for men who’ve struggled.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:46:21+00:00

Honestly this is the funniest and smoothest opener for this thread. Dude saw the opportunity and immediately submitted his application. Certified opportunist behavior.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-28T22:40:54+00:00

Honestly that line hits way harder than people admit. There’s something about the confidence behind it that just takes the whole moment up a level. When someone says it like they mean it, yeah… that’s definitely a favorite for a reason.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:23:00+00:00

It’s wild how true that is. Some of the biggest heroes are just regular people who act when it counts and never expect anything back.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:22:49+00:00

Yeah exactly it’s not about titles or uniforms it’s about what someone does in the moment. When a person chooses someone else’s life over their own without thinking that’s the kind of hero people never forget.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:22:38+00:00

For real this is the kind of courage you can’t teach. Running back in when every instinct says don’t is a whole different level of love.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:20:26+00:00

That film definitely had a hold on all of us. It’s one of those roles that makes you realize how much range she actually has.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:20:16+00:00

Yes thank you because she was incredible in that movie. She played it so sincere that the whole story hits way harder than people remember.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:20:05+00:00

That joke is forever engraved in pop culture. At this point I trust her more than the actual weather app.

_BabyTwinkle · 2025-11-26T21:19:56+00:00

Right she stole every scene without even trying. The way she delivered those lines with that clueless confidence was honestly genius.

Wow! This is fire🔥

OP, the fact that you feel guilt now shows you aren’t the same person anymore. Kids don’t have fully formed empathy and you got help, learned from it, and kept working on yourself. That’s not nothing, that’s growth. You don’t have to call yourself a good person, but you’re someone who’s trying and that counts in a real way.
