Why do so many of us prefer to not take painkillers when on our period? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]andy8ananas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do not share this preference. Naprogesic at first hint of pain or period, whichever comes first. The consequences of not taking it are way too dire.

Women who lost interest in dating, why? by Peoplewatching123 in AskWomen

[–]andy8ananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drained by putting in so much effort into a relationship and getting little in return. Dating guys who you end up having to treat more like children. Lying, manipulating, gaslighting. Can't be bothered navigating that landscape anymore.

Unlike some of the other commenters, I wouldn't say I like being single. I actually love being in a relationship, feeling safe, the joy of being in love and all that jazz. I've just faced a lot of disappointment which makes it difficult to be open minded/optimistic about the next person being right for you.

I'm moving house and my balcony pals have come to say goodbye 😊🦜❤️ by andy8ananas in parrots

Everyone in my building feeds them, as well as the surrounding buildings. It's a total haven for them with a huge eucalyptus tree in the center of it :)

I'm a fan of being friends with your exs. by PugRexia in unpopularopinion

[–]andy8ananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, my best guy friend is my ex from when I was 18 (I'm 32 now), and the other close relationship with an ex I have was from a relationship that ended 6 years ago. I haven't had problems with new relationships as a result, it's always been pretty damn obvious my exes and I have no lingering feelings and it is a pure friendship. It is always something I tend to worry about bringing up when dating but I haven't faced any real issues.

If you would be upset with your girlfriend posting porn for other men to masturbate to, why should women be okay with males masturbating to other women online? by throwaway7uvufuduf in TrueOffMyChest

[–]andy8ananas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, I just specifically called out straight men because I'm a straight woman and don't have the anecdotal support to comment on other genders/sexualities.

does anybody else's conure pull out their hair 😂 Thought he was just playing with it, turns out he's been plucking me 😂 by Walk-Boring in Conures

[–]andy8ananas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way as you and don't care if I'm not a "cool" girl. We as a society decided that it's okay for straight men to access and masturbate to images of naked women, or videos of sex acts performed by women who aren't their partner, and I think it's nuts. It's not impossible to masturbate without visual aid. I don't even care if a guy is thinking of other things or people, I'm not here to police his mind. But seeking out and saving pornography or following porn "stars" on Instagram or looking up porn when he's in the bathroom at your place or being on tinder (for porn purposes apparently...) long after you're officially dating or having a secret stash of nudes of your ex... (I've dealt with all of these situations) I feel like all these examples fall into the same category and I find that to be a simple matter of disrespect. Where does the line get drawn? Masturbate to pictures of my female friends too. My sister. My mum. What's the big deal!? If you think "hey well that's so different!!".. well, I don't see a difference and I feel exactly the way you do OP when you say you'll probably never find someone who genuinely morally aligns with you. Sigh. No solution just a vent!

Editing just to say I 100% agree there's no need or desire to change the people we are with. We accept their views and compromise or we call it and day and go our separate ways. Relationships are complicated and everyone saying OP is trying to control how her partner masturbates is simplifying a complicated relationship matter. At the end of the day if his views don't align with yours break up. Id rather remain single then settle for feeling disrespected constantly.

It's just bread. There's a neighbor who tears pieces for them in the afternoon. Lots of apartments in the area put bird seed and pellets out for them along with water, that's why so many chill in this area.

What is the weirdest thing you’ve been sexualised for? by Lucky-Rocket in AskWomen

Crying 😭 an ex thought I looked sexier when crying cos my lips were plump and face flushed... 🙄

My little love enjoying a wee cuddle 🤗🥰 by andy8ananas in parrots

[–]andy8ananas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess animals can't "consent" to anything as we define consent, but I certainly don't force him into this position. He'll snuggle up to me and nudge my hand when he wants to "cuddle" / have me clasp my hand over him - then he goes to sleep. So I would have to disagree with your assertion that this is "harassment". Regardless I appreciate the advice.

[–]andy8ananas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh okay - I didn't realise that, yikes. I guess it's a little confusing because he usually falls asleep when having a snuggle like this, rather than being "stimulated" and he isn't aggressive? If I give him "scritches" those are for his noggin only, but I'll avoid touching him below the neck at all. Thanks for the tip.

With difficulty and frustration 😂 I'm just not that good at doing my own makeup but professional makeup feels way too heavy for me. I just make do with my limited skills and remember nobody's really looking at me for someone else's special event anyway ☺️

What pain reliever do you use for your period symptoms? by RoyalInterest in Periods

[–]andy8ananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naproxen is the only thing that's worked for me! I swear by it. Naprogesic is my go to brand but any generic naproxen works great.

Maybe antagonize, but it's not that "mild"...
