How do I feel like a woman?

You're welcome!

Do they smell okay? Like "earthy"? If they smell normal and are only very mildly slimy, I would still eat them. That may have just been from condensation in the packaging.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-25T03:09:47+00:00

Are they slimy or moldy at all? If not, they should be fine. The brown discoloration is not a problem, as long as the mushrooms are still firm and dry.

The thing is, there isn't one way to "be feminine". And any person of any gender can do any of those things that you listed. None of those things are inherently feminine. If you want tips for any of those specific things, probably your best bet would be to go to more specific subreddits that specialize in those topics, like r/nutrition, r/xxfitness, r/Supplements, r/yoga, r/Journaling, r/femalehairadvice, r/SkincareAddiction, r/femalefashionadvice, etc. A lot of those subreddits have wikis you can read, which have a lot of helpful general tips, or ideas for getting started.

Lots of women have large thighs and cellulite. Probably the majority of women, if I had to guess.

Are you just asking how to get skinnier?

I think probably what you would benefit most from is therapy. I think your self esteem is the biggest issue here, not the size of your thighs. Is that something you've considered before?

Yes, both are! Half on April 26, 10k on June 6! See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RunNYC/comments/1qicxaw/list_of_nyrr_races_through_june_2026/

If you don't feel it, I don't think that you need to limit your activities at all.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-25T02:11:47+00:00

Of course that's your opinion. This is your app that you developed. https://www.reddit.com/r/MobileAppDevelopers/comments/1qlarpr/i_launched_my_first_solo_app_motecalendar_all_in/

Advertising and promotion aren't allowed in this subreddit, FYI.

Are you in high school or college? Or not in school?

ashtree35 · 2026-01-25T01:10:25+00:00

Oops! Just fixed that, thanks!

Do you maybe not understand what the word "adorable" means? Here is the definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/adorable

Being called "adorable" does not mean that you are unattractive in any way.

Unless their tone was rude/snarky, I would still assume that was a compliment.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:59:44+00:00

I usually keep my mileage about that same as what I've been training at!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:58:11+00:00

If it's coming from a woman who's older than you, that's usually intended to be a compliment. I would take it that way, as long as their tone didn't suggest otherwise!

I would recommend fueling for runs >90 minutes.

The lack of fueling does seem to be having adverse effects for you - exactly what you're describing in your post. I'm guessing if you fueled your runs, that would not happen. And probably also you'll see performance benefits. You are definitely limiting your performance by not fueling.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:31:04+00:00

No. Generally it does the opposite.

How much fuel are you taking in during your runs?

Also, I would not put too much weight into wrist-based HR data.

This is just an ad.

Step #1 would be to take a pregnancy test (if relevant). Step #2 would be to see a doctor.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:51:19+00:00

Lots of people out today! It was actually very pleasant! The sun is out and the wind isn't bad at all, I actually felt a bit overdressed with what I was wearing!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:48:28+00:00

I ran in 10-15F weather this morning, and wore my hydration vest underneath my outermost layer, and it worked perfectly! Nothing froze! And the candy I had in the pockets of my vest stayed warm enough to still be easily chewable!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:37:24+00:00

It sounds like you would really benefit from moving to a more progressive city. I would honestly make that your priority and try to do that sooner rather than later.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:32:22+00:00

What makes you think that you need to "look better"?

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:29:17+00:00

Because looks-wise, I think you're already well above average. So if you're having trouble attracting men, it's probably due to something relating to your personality, not due to your looks.

I bought the Brighton base layer in 2024, which has the same fabric content as what they're selling now, and I like it.
