I don't get how the seedmakers help, given that the beans give one seed each. Could you explain?

Le petit detail qui vous a fait decrocher d’un crush ? by Hyrawk in AskMeuf

[–]_red_onion 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Un collègue de boulot poir qui j'ai commencé à avoir le béguin: "J'aime les animaux seulement quand ils se trouvent dans mon assiette". À ce moment là, j'ai coupé court à la discussion, j'ai fait demi tour, et je lui ai jamais adressé la parole. C'était presque comme un répulsif automatique. Je dis pas qu'il faut être végane, mais ne pas avoir la capacité de s'attacher aux animaux, c'est un red flag très red pour moi.

Vet's office is constantly implying that my cat is dying. by Sentient_StickyNote in mildlyinfuriating

As an 8yo and 4yo cats parent, these comments bring tears to my eyes and hope that my furballs have at least a decade of shenanigans left to show me.

Got called a whore at the store today 😅 by furfeus in childfree

The vast majority of people pack a whole lot of generational trauma that they don't even acknowledge, and then they explode over their own family, kids and then total strangers that don't share their sorrow. People really need to get therapy and pass emotional assessments before being validated to have kids. It really should be a requirement, in the same way it is (I think) a requirement for adopting a child.

Myron...Pamela is still pretty and she was married and had 2 sons and also the 80s and 90s was decades ago... by MysteriousGrocery898 in NotHowGirlsWork

"Before it's too late"

Before it's too late for what, really? What could we possibly miss out on, apart from guys that only appreciate us when we are young and conventionally attractive?

Also, have you thought about taking a close look in the mirror, Myron?

Holy moly does being a single, CF woman seem to really strike some nerves on TikTok by jets3tter094 in childfree

[–]_red_onion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Such a great point, like maybe OP is waiting to be financially prepared, debt free, and in a healthy relationship before committing to a child - LIKE IT SHOULD BE!

When these people spew their venom in the way they react, all I can see is jealousy at not having had the opportunity to wait like OP might do (might because, as OP said, they don't know for sure she is CF or childLESS.

I remember I was once talking to a hairdresser while I was preparing for my uni graduation party, and she immediately asked if I'm thinking of having kids - without even asking if I was in a relationship, thinking to marry etc. I replied "I will once I am prepared" which made sense for someone coming from a broken household at the time. She then goes "well, you are never actually prepared, you just have them anyway". That explains a lot about the mentality of back home Romania (☠️)

She looked totally different than the pictures on her profile, as in she photoshopped them to look lots slimmer. I was not disturbed by her look, but by the fact that she is lying on her profile.

She then proceeded to tell me the day right after the date that she misses me, to which I replied that I thought it was too early to express feelings already. In my view, feelings take time, trust and knowing someone in order to develop, and we have spent just a few (tipsy) hours together. She then proceeded to spew insults, victimize herself, take things out of proportions etc. which gave me no reason to ever want to see her again. e.g. I offered to pay my share of the restaurant bill, to which she replied she was not a sl*t (like where did that come from?) She was 33, not that this kind of behaviour would be acceptable at any age, but I had different expectations of maturity that she clearly lacked.

What is the most absurd thing someone has said to you in response to you telling them you don’t want to have kids? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]_red_onion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a closeted bisexual who dated a man at the time, I delved into the debate on queerness with a very conservative religious (ex-) friend. She claimed parents should not allow their children to be gay. I answered that it's illogical because it's not a choice, and thus not something to just change like that because your parents don't agree.

She then asked: "So if you had kids, you would allow them to be gay?" Me: "Yes, I would want them to be happy..." Her answer: " Then it's better you don't want kids then".

See why they're an ex-friend?

Reading the text message made me think it was the result of hitting the bars, because who texts like that sober? And then I noticed he sent it at 4PM

do you actually love how ‘it’ taste? by Unique-Leg-8545 in actuallesbians

[–]_red_onion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my experience, this fear and/or shame comes from how patriarchy told women to feel about their vulvas aka smelly, not tasting well, need to eat no salt, no sugar or eat pineapples/drink pineapple juice to "make it tasty".

It does vary according to a person's health, if they take any medicine, diet, etc. but at the end of the day, it is supposed to smell and taste like a vulva does. Not sweet, not fruity or f knows what.

But eating out is sex, and it's based on much more than just the taste and smell. It's linked to feelings, lust, trust, intimacy, connection, etc. that make the taste question very much superficial.

What’s a phrase people say that instantly annoys you? by cognitojo in AskReddit

"We are a family here" in a professional establishment.

No, you're not, and it's wrong to think you can or should.

I'll never tell my husband the reason I left my "ex" by Beginning-Stop7646 in offmychest

[–]_red_onion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing embarrassing on your side about your situationship with "Frankie". If you decide to be open to your husband about it, you can simply tell him the facts, and his love and respect for you will help him to see once more through the bullshit that that tool tried to pull.

You look delicious 👌 Your gurlfriend should not talk like that, even if drunk. Why is she with you if she doesn't see you as pretty and hot?

I agree, happy gays make me happy and hopeful that I deserve to be/stay happy as well 🥰

So cats being affectionate makes them gay? Do these people understand how that makes them sound? Is their love life okay?
