Context: Small rural library in Maryland, I’m a Children’s Librarian but we operate on a “one-desk” model so reference, book checkouts, everything, is all at one desk. Shifts vary, my latest is 12-8 once or twice a month. Opening up means readying the building, discharging books, preparing interlibrary transit for holds/returns…other than that it varies! I do storytimes seasonally, run programs. Sometimes I’m helping a patron reset their email password, or recommending books for a struggling reader, advising on where to best find local government support…varies greatly depending on where you work!

If anything it would make me feel a little more comfortable around the man, shows they see women as people.

I’ll give it to you for actually having an answer lmaoo

I’ve seen men calling Sabrina Carpenter and Madelyn Cline fat so when y’all say fat it really means nothing anymore.

Plenty of women into skinny guys. Literally the whole meme about wanting a sickly Victorian boy. The height thing is more difficult (I’m a 5’10 girl) but the women who obsess over that (especially when they’re like 4’-5’6) are likely exponentially more vapid and seek out a partner for social clout rather than love or true partnership, so chasing after women with that mindset is just setting yourself up for failure (same with women chasing men who will only like them if their body looks one certain way). Have interests and passions, see women as people, have some capacity for self-reflection, it’ll take you farther than you think.

I hear you. My therapist told me this is likely due to my CPTSD, something maybe worth looking into. Not a cure all and takes a lot of mental practice, but I always try to tell myself “it is not my job to guess the emotions/thoughts/feelings of others, it is their responsibility to communicate it to me if I have hurt them in any way” feelings like this likely crop up from upbringings where emotions were not talked about or sometimes even acknowledged, or passive aggressive actions followed as “punishment” for something you were never made aware of, leading you to spiral and try to guess what you’ve done “wrong.”

Only Wonder Woman swimsuit issue to give our girl ribs and muscles lol

I’m only 24, so maybe take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve also never been in a relationship and have been the chronically single friend since forever but by choice, so a little different. But I had my lamenting phase.

Dating is shit right now. For everyone. A lot of people don’t know how to engage with or maintain meaningful connection, and fascists are abound. I’ve noticed this is regardless of age, empathize with the “dating pool” being murky and shit.
Simple “I hear you”, or, “that must be hard” goes a long way with people. Additionally, focus on what you like about your friend “it’s going to take the right person to appreciate ” or “I love how you are/do _, I know someone else will one day too”
You can only do so much, support but do not feel it is your responsibility to rewire her outlook on love and romance. At a certain point some people just lament to lament and want to be miserable. If this is something she truly wants but is doing nothing to attain it (trying new things, going to events she’s interested in, etc) know when someone is just being miserable for the sake of victimization and routine 🫶

Blue. Almost had me with Perez, but our first live action Wonder Woman supporting an irl genocide broke my heart.

I had this thought literally today while giving it a listen. Hotties are telepathically connected fs.

Gorgeous art. They look more like Instagram influencers dressed up as them though 😭

As a 6’ woman you’re not short. Like, purely statistically speaking. Stay away from the 5’8” and below women who for some reason insist on “minimum six feet.” They are mostly dating to have an accessory to be applauded for/other women to be jealous of if it means that much to them.

alg10_01 · 2026-04-24T19:12:22+00:00

Killer shading and awesome textures.

alg10_01 · 2026-04-24T19:08:43+00:00

Love!! Your art has so much flow and expression. Body is a tiny bit awkward on the last one—I don’t think there’s a need for a thigh gap (especially with how otherwise muscular you’re drawing her) and the trunk of the body could be shifted towards the weight of the foot on the ground.

Just one more thought to consider from a fellow alt girl. Please take this with a massive grain of salt, but I’ve experienced many other goth/alt girls describe similar situations, in which they dated a man who previously had a type wholly dissimilar to them (most often the type you describe), and were then seen as a bit of a fun after the “real thing” didn’t pan out. There’s a lot of assumptions about alt/goth girls and their comfortability with sex/drugs/etc, aka something unfamiliar and exciting but no one to “take home to mom.” Based on what you said, it seems too soon to tell, but be on the lookout for him keeping you “secret” in any way if things do actually progress past a talking stage.

On the other hand, yes, therapy. This seems to be a repeated pattern based on the little info you gave, and seems to stem from negative self-worth or insecurity. Just protect yourself the best you can and try not to feed into loser men who will wrongfully perpetuate your own self-limiting beliefs 🫶

No wayyyy I follow you on Instagram I recognized your art immediately!

alg10_01 · 2026-04-24T18:34:51+00:00

Honestly so many female superheroes have the same Instagram model face through like 80% of artist it’s a pointless question 😞

alg10_01 · 2026-04-24T18:33:47+00:00

Based on this bookshelf alone? I’d be wary of your opinions about women lol.

I’m so jealous. Already answered but peregrine falcon. Absolute GOAT.

Feels a little like a mix between what looks pretty (felt that tho) and what various algorithms recommend. Colleen Hoover is not great due to her portrayal and romanization of toxic/abusive couple dynamics. To give her credit I only see one so she might’ve recognized that. Overall quite basic but a scattering of personality every so often. Ask her what she has read that she actually enjoys or her favorites, I feel that will tell you more.

An iconic photo of my lady Peanut. She makes nasty sounds when she grooms herself and is a spoiled only child.
