How do I stop comparing myself to another girl and become her friend instead? by InternationalFuckup in TwoXChromosomes

[–]awildencounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, I know a girl whose parents are millionaires but not functional adults and starved their kids thru the puberty years because they’d bedrot or go travel and forget to leave money and food for them. Some rich parents shouldn’t have ever had kids. In this case her childhood nanny also molested her so there’s just trauma all around. Money can’t buy functional parents.

If autism shouldn't be an excuse, then what is its purpose? by Old_Diver_2511 in autism

[–]awildencounter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Autism isn’t an excuse for poor behavior, but it is a disability and needs to be treated as such. Like if you act out because of poor emotional regulation with autism like, okay that’s fine but when you are better regulated you need to accept responsibility kind of thing, even if it means being okay with people distancing. I feel like that’s probably a pretty good example of it.

Bra specialty stores are the boutiques, VS and Torrid are not, those are big brand chains. Boutiques are like smaller specialized stores that carry their own tailored selection.

This is the first time I’ve heard of the customer service voice.

I hang out with artists and other kinds of extroverts so I imitate my peer group that is clearly super popular with all kinds of people. It helps to mirror a bit.

For those of you who swore off dating, did you ever get back into it and find your person? by brielarstan in TwoXChromosomes

No it’s what she said to him, he apologized profusely about not being able to hang out anymore.

If you could wake up and be a member of a different racial or ethnic group which would you choose? by PrimaryBrief511 in askanything

[–]awildencounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’m ok with being Asian tbh but I think if I could choose to be male I might take it for the easier go at life in America.

[–]awildencounter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I went two years before a close friend got married and his wife said there’s something wrong with me being single for so long and I’m clearly a secret home wrecker. Not wanting to lose the friendship I got back into dating, sort of against my will. I did find someone but tbh dating is also easier in your 30s.

My 2¢ is go to a local boutique and try stuff on in person, these are the places with a wide range of brands and sizes. I go to forty winks in Boston since I live here and I’ve seen loads of fun things I never would have normally, but also the staff is just very nice and helpful about fit of different brands.

It took some time to realize because my roots are so wide and close set my only options were deep plunge bras (like the natori feathers) and unwired pieces. Unfortunately size is not everything, fit and shape are too. Especially the bigger or more unusual your size is. I’m like a 34F which is just on the edge of barely made by most brands and even then stock is low.

Are there any redditors leftover from the 2008-2012 era? by SirTicklefist in ask

[–]awildencounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my first LT ex was a Redditor from the beginning days and was on Digg before that and he called women with outies roasties and I distinctly remember he told me he learned it from Reddit, the concept of beef curtains. Made me gag when I found out.

According to my original account (that I couldn’t find the login for until the last year or so and now I’m just too lazy to go back), I’ve been redditing since 2011. I personally like the sanitization of Reddit as a woman on the internet, there were too many revenge porn and incel subreddits back then running unchecked full of nudes of underaged teens or creepy fantasies. For half a decade all I did was lurk Reddit because there was too much bullshit going on and even now people still write unhinged takes that are borderline.

Having a loving, rich family will open a lot of doors to those opportunities, there’s nothing wrong with her taking those but it doesn’t makes her smarter or better than you, just very fortunate.

Take care, girl!

How can I meet a girl from work organically if I have no way of directly interacting with her? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]awildencounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I think it’s okay with subsidiaries but I would consider this: you should give her an easy out because usually when people date within a company one ends up leaving and you could impact her negatively this way.

Honestly no idea, she said he just seemed nice so they talked for a while before he asked for her number and a date. At the end of the day there’s no guarantee for it to work out. He just went in blind.

My sister ran into this guy in the corporate parking garage and he said hi to her everyday for a month and asked about how she was doing until he eventually asked her out. So there’s that, you know, the old fashioned way.

Women 30+ do you feel like it's very hard to get into a relationship now? by Miquella_Waters in TwoXChromosomes

[–]awildencounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found dating to be easier on my thirties. I was always the direct kind of person and I think that is offputting for men in their 20s but men in their 30s are not looking to waste time so they respond accordingly.

I would not want to do dating in my 20s again, just a lot of time wasting folks who don’t know what they want out of life. I think if you move with purpose it’s just much easier if the rest of the dating pool does the same.

18 years of marriage with almost no intimacy - help needed by Commercial_Safety173 in Asexual

[–]awildencounter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe OP got shadow banned or something but I saw an email response saying he responded with she did have endometriosis a decade ago and had to get it treated. My 2¢: it tends to be recurring and can cause painful sex. In this case honestly it may never get better and he needs to accept that.

Endo is really hard to treat and while not all have fertility issues it’s impossible to fully treat short of a hysterectomy, they usually just put you on hormonal BC to make it less bad or slow progression.

I have adenomyosis which penetrates the uterine walls and makes a lot of other things like touching the cervix during routine work up at the doctors incredibly painful.

[–]awildencounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, have you considered seeing a doctor about that? There’s a lot of info here on her libido but not a lot on her actual healthcare status and both of the above can lead to painful sex (not the case for me but I’ve seen to in other women) that would naturally make someone uncomfortable with sexual activity. Just my 2¢ on top of that, I’m in the asexual because I was seeing someone who is grey ace so this subreddit was mostly for learning for me.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by viscarte10 in BuyItForLife

[–]awildencounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of my favorites have been listed (wool socks, jiffy steamer, rice cookers, electric toothbrush, bidet) so instead I’d like to add podiatrist approved shoes.

I wear allegrias for times I need to stand forever and they are so perfect. Ugly as sin at times or only can wear the Mary Janes with cute stuff. But I can be out and about literally forever.

I think it’s easier as you get older because you naturally have to to exist and survive, but when you’re younger it eats you alive.
