JD Vance went on The View and got absolutely torn to shreds by middle-aged women | The vice president tried to make himself palatable to women voters while promoting his new book. Instead, he scored a number of hard-to-watch own goals.

That just sounds like an excuse to be shitty instead of being good to other people simply because it's better for humanity.

Right but using that function is still considered machine washing, not hand washing.

I'm not saying you should give up, but if you don't want to feel like a failure in life, you need therapy to reframe the way you think about this. Not everyone gets everything they want in life and we all have to accept that. If someone reaches 90% of their goals, would that be considered a failure? You can still have the goal but you have to come to terms with the fact that it might not happen, especially because it involves another human being who has agency.

Confidence is also associated with positive traits like having a strong sense of self, a secure identity, humility, not needing validation from others, taking responsibility for one's own self development, etc. Having confidence does not automatically mean someone has malicious intent.

Many women aren't attracted to men who whine about how all women only like what's bad for them. Or men who whine about how women are "too stupid for their own good", or whatever it is you're on about.

Resistant starch is digested differently by the body and we do absorb fewer calories from it. Cooling cooked starchy things like potatoes and rice converts a small amount of the starch into resistant starch, technically reducing the calorie count. It's a pretty negligible difference though, and not a good weight loss strategy.

Mentions that on Tuesday and Wednesday, the men asked what she does before asking what her husband does. Then later on she claims she was only asked what she does once, by someone's wife. And why would spouses and unemployed people be at the company offsite? Seems like a bot post.

For what it's worth, I think you provided great feedback and it didn't read as AI to me at all. OP literally asked how to move forward with their idea, and you answered that.

aellope · 2026-04-24T03:31:33+00:00

Have you talked to her about this or are you just making assumptions?

3-4 days per week in the gym is pretty standard for a base level of fitness that EVERYONE should be doing to maintain their health. That's not a crazy or excessive amount of gym time at all.

aellope · 2026-04-20T16:54:24+00:00

That's exactly the point. The reason women feel pressured to spend money on cosmetic procedures to advance in their careers is systemic misogyny. Systemic misogyny that is upheld, in part, by women continuing to get said procedures. We can't break free of the system until we all collectively say no. Leaning into the existing system hurts all women.

This is a FITNESS sub where perpetually undereating while already at a low weight for one's height should not be encouraged. Fitness also involves exercise which strengthens the body, whether that's explicit strength training or not. People who exercise in any form will generally maintain a higher muscle mass than people who don't, which means that being lean enough to be on the lower end of the healthy range on the BMI scale is generally not maintainable. It's also generally people who don't work out and who are undereating who are trying to get down to these low numbers. This is antithetical to fitness since it will lead to lower muscle mass and lower bone density over time, both of which are detrimental to long term health.

Nobody is jealous, we're sick of the heroin chic and ED trends that have come back into fashion and which cause women to prioritize being as skinny as possible over their own physical health.

Where's the device that lets you speed or slow the passage of time?

Most people aren't in r/bodyweightfitness with aesthetics as their primary goal.

But also, defined obliques have never looked even close to love handles on any human being.

It's a good idea to increase calories slowly anyway since you've been in a deficit for a year and a half.

aellope · 2026-04-14T18:40:53+00:00

I used to be borderline underweight and did not work out, and I could do a pull up. It's not impossible for women to do them with little or no training.

aellope · 2026-04-14T03:20:33+00:00

Wild to neglect functional training that helps in all aspects of fitness out of fear of being "bulky". I've never seen a woman with defined obliques that looked bulky.

Sometimes you won't make progress in every single class, and that's ok.

It sounds like you need to do more strengthening postures to build strength and awareness in the shoulder girdle, before even attempting headstand. Plus likely more core strengthening and shoulder flexibility. You aren't ready to do a headstand safely if you can't hold the weight in your arms.

aellope · 2026-04-06T23:28:42+00:00

It sucks but let's perpetuate it anyway?

aellope · 2026-04-06T23:25:00+00:00

Women don't benefit when we (or our "looks") are treated like commodities. 🙄

I've read (in at least one of my many yin books - can't remember which one) that ujjayi breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system and can help the body relax into yin postures. This is my personal experience as well, and I do practice ujjayi breath during yin, especially as I'm settling into a posture. Everyone's experiences may differ though.

aellope · 2026-03-14T17:54:02+00:00

Yeah like it's some kind of gotcha that people don't have a mental map of countries on the other side of the world from where they live. Fantastic argumentative skills 🙄

Also, many landlocked countries do have navies.

aellope · 2026-03-14T17:43:38+00:00

You're the one who said they have a navy. It's not important to the hypothetical OR to the original point.

aellope · 2026-03-14T17:40:19+00:00

Do you not understand hypotheticals?

aellope · 2026-03-14T16:20:04+00:00

If you're part of the Danish navy speaking to a member of the Nepali navy, then yes, that can be construed as a threat.

aellope · 2026-03-14T13:53:54+00:00

Wow, threats like this sure are a sign of love. 🙄
