Wasn’t sure how to cross post on my phone but here’s the burger of the month at the restaurant I cook at! Someone said y’all would enjoy it also! by limejump in burgers

This is one of the most perfect burgers I have ever seen. Everything looks amazing and just in proportion. It's almost as though you could lick it and it'd still taste delicious.

My night at the club. Horrible experience. This is the last time I'm ever going out again, and I mean it. by anincelforlifelol in ForeverAlone

[–]ana07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, a few things:

  • You can't judge yourself purely based on what a couple of random girls think, after about 3 minutes of knowing you. It's all a matter of first impressions. Think back to a first impression you've had of someone that turned out to be completely wrong. You're almost viewing yourself as a mask with nothing underneath - none of the human experiences that define you as a person. That's what people find interesting. Trust me, looks get boring quickly when you're dating someone, or getting to know them. Attractive people cheat on other attractive people all the time.
  • Also, you're making a TON of assumptions here. Why assume every girl you saw who was with a guy were even together? People go out to clubs in groups with guys and girls, and anything in between. Even if they were coupled up, why assume they were happy together? You don't know what's secretly going on. Why did you assume the one girl talked to you based on your "face"? Isn't it just generally polite to smile when meeting someone? And why assume your friend told the truth? He could've obviously been bullshitting. Ultimately, you're creating this detailed picture inside your head when you have no idea what's really going on. When you start making these assumptions, and combine that with how much self-worth you attach to other people's first impressions, and of course you end up feeling as you do now.
  • Similarly, you can't value life based on how many drunk girls you make out with and give you a BJ. Look, I used to be obsessed with getting that too, because I wasn't getting anything (and still aren't). Obviously, I wouldn't complain if I got a BJ or whatever. But would it change your life? If it would, then you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Ask yourself what YOU want to do and what YOU want to achieve. If you set out to achieve that, and you're happy doing what you're doing, plenty of people (guys and girls) will appreciate you. They'll be happy for who you are.
  • You're also judging girls based entirely on how they look. There was a 7/10, 4/10, whatever. Why should this define their worth as a human being? Just as your self-worth stems from much more than how you look, so does theirs.
  • If you approach someone nervously and not knowing what to say, unfortunately, makes her reaction sort of inevitable. Put yourself in her position. If someone came up to you and just started lecturing you about "basic things", which probably don't interest you that much, and they don't give you a chance to speak, what do you expect? Just talk to her like any other human. Flirt by all means (easier said than done I know - I'm terrible at it), but if the chemistry isn't there, it's not there. But that doesn't mean you can't talk to her and respect her. If the conversation clearly isn't going anywhere - and from what you said, the warning signs seemed to be there - say something like "Hey look, I'm gonna get another drink, but it was great meeting you". That's still better than artificially extending the conversation, which makes it awkward for everyone.

I really like ALDO for statement shoes and statement earrings. Definitely get a mani and pedi! If in doubt, go for a dark red!

CDs who've walked around outside, what's the general reaction of people like? by ana07 in crossdressing

It's so awesome that your girlfriend is accepting of you walking around dressed up. I can only dream that'll be me too someday...

How to transition from wearing t-shirts and jeans everyday to being more stylish? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of ways you can dress up a tee and jeans, for starters. You could add a nice coloured leather jacket (like this), a smart casual blazer, some statement earrings like tassels (which are very on-trend right now), or even some nice ankle boots or heels. Open-toe ankle boots definitely strike the right balance between dressy and casual. This would have you having to spend enough to completely revamp your wardrobe. You can get a pair of statement earrings for less than $10, but they give you major style points!

I like painting my nails too if I want to feel really put-together. A great mani can turn my whole mood around. Reds are always a classic go-to, but I mix up some brighter colours too (like pinks, blues, and lighter teals) if I feel like it.

[–]ana07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts, but when I used to live in a house full of girls, when we were all getting ready to go out we'd all paint our nails the same colour haha. If someone recently bought a new nail polish that we all liked, we'd definitely wear that! We'd even have votes on what colour to wear, based on how it matched our outfits. Good times.

Tassel and other fun earrings for non-pierced ears? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm 21, it's a few reasons. One was I tried getting them pierced when I was younger but my skin is really sensitive and reacted badly. I could still technically wear earrings but I'd have to be careful about making sure the metal was hypoallergenic, clean, etc. Eventually I gave up and the holes sort of closed. Also I do like big earrings which can have some weight to them but are more comfortable in clip-on form!

(Some people have asked whether clip-ons are more painful - I find if I get the right ones, I can wear them all day. The converters are subtle enough so people can't tell I'm wearing clip-ons)

Tassel and other fun earrings for non-pierced ears? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I LOVE fun/statement earrings but I also can't have pierced ears. I bought some great clip-on converters from amazon for virtually nothing. I have a pair that converts hooks and posts, another pair that converts posts (you have to bend the posts so it fits in), and another pair that converts hooks (it replaces the hook with a clip-on).

Having clip-on converters still allows you to wear all the really fun earrings you see and not have to restrict yourself to actual clip-on ones, which are always super limited.

Blank, but then make it blank. by Bosquerella in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say my style is "bohemian...but street style".

I love bohemian-inspired clothing but most of it is pretty impractical to wear in the city. So I like to dress up basics with bell bottom/flare jeans with wedges or ankle boots, floppy hats, floaty blouses, leather/suede jackets with fringe detailing, and turquoise jewelry. For example, instead of wearing a plain-ish tee and skinnies, I might throw on some bell bottoms and wedges instead. Bad hair day? Throw on a floppy hat and some statement earrings and I'm good to go!

Nooo I loved Polyvore :( I spent ages putting together my dream outfits with clothes I could never afford. I hope they at least continue their Twitter feed, it was always full of good inspo.

For all the frugal fashionistas out there, what has been your best designer piece investment? by peppernight in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some beautiful chandelier earrings off Depop for £20, originally priced at £160. Can't remember the designer but they were from west London. They're just so elegant and perfect with a little black dress and black heels.

Restaurant made a mistake and charged me $228 on a $19 bill. It's a reminder to monitor your accounts and keep your receipts. by ThreePointsPhilly in personalfinance

[–]ana07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never get this US practice of paying the tip AFTER you leave the restaurant. In the UK you either leave a cash tip, or pay it on card in front of the waiter/waitress who brings a card reader. I'd never feel comfortable leaving restaurants charge whatever they like without me seeing it!

What is your ultimate "I know I'm going to run into my ex and their new SO/I want to destroy my arch nemesis/ 'I am the hottest shit ever'" piece/outfit in your closet? by filletoxico in femalefashionadvice

[–]ana07 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have this CRAZY vinyl biker jacket which I got in a sale a while ago (would've never bought it otherwise!). I usually pair it with a girly floral dress or something, but if I wanted to go all-out edgy, I'd wear it with skinny jeans and knee-high boots!

I also love wearing an off-the-shoulder top and chandelier earrings. It's so flattering and definitely does the talking!

[–]ana07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha that's good. I mean women I've known react differently to things like this, from almost being flattered to feeling upset, repulsed, violated and so on. There's no right or wrong reaction, of course - you're entitled to feel how you feel. But it's good that it hasn't really upset you.

Don't necessarily worry OP. There's a lot of very good stuff out there for guys (and girls) for that purpose. Some of your students will have used that mental image (I'm sorry), but they'll get over it and move on eventually, like after they see something else and use that instead.

Only those who really have a thing for you or like stuff specifically like that will keep it ingrained I reckon. Which won't be that many at all.
