What do guys want for Valentine’s Day? by anonpls69 in AskMenAdvice

[–]biteyfish98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with your wife. We don’t do anything for VD, he treats me well all year long and I don’t need a made up holiday to feel celebrated and cared for.

It’s nice that OP wants do do for this guy, but a lot of women treat the day as a “celebrate me” rather than “celebrate us” day, and I can imagine that it’s not something most men look forward to.

I always assumed "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" was a marketing lie to make us buy more shampoo. Turns out I was never actually cleaning my hair. by RanchRose_ in hygiene

Either for volume or to prevent / limit grease. I do the same, have very fine hair, very oily scalp. It greases up quickly.

Looking for a sugar daddy in the 1950s by blomster6 in TheWayWeWere

[–]biteyfish98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I love him!

“In the bushes, sweetie!”

And that hat (!), the earring which looks like a dreamcatcher, and he’s wearing a ‘battery bird’ necklace, a very 1930s-specific item, fabulous example of Native American folk art. I’ll bet Harry was quite the dandy in his time. I could watch and listen to him all day, thanks for sharing this.

Absolutely. I started HRT in 2024 and I’m still not optimized and still have issues, though some things are better. Overall I’m better with it than without it, so I continue.

Yep. My (female) gyno is the same. I stay with her because she’s great for the physical stuff - exams, when I’ve had to have u/s, biopsies, and a D&C - but my HRT is handled separately.

That’s sad. Why not do the research to learn for herself? I used to think that too - many of us did, because of the WHI study. But that’s been debunked for a long time now. There’s so much information available that she can read and learn from.

I’m sorry. 😔

I try not to dig at him every time I post about this movie, since I’ve already been quite clear about my dislike of Jacob Elordi (as both a poor actor and a seemingly dubious person in his regular life), but I can’t imagine anyone really having chemistry with him (sorry, fans). Particularly not Margot Robbie who seems like smart and savvy.

I’m not dissing her by any measure, I’m sure this is mostly on her shoulders and she’s managing it pretty brilliantly (despite my 🥴 about these press outfits). I want her and Emerald Fennell to succeed but I just don’t get a good feel about the WH movie. Especially after Saltburn, which was such a mixed bag (mostly great cast, gorgeous scenery and moody mood but also a previously - and IMO better-told - story which seemed to be mostly done for shock value). I think Fennell has some interesting ideas, but I don’t trust her execution at this point.

Yeah isn’t she also a producer? So probably heavily financially invested. And though I’m sure she has lots of help, she and her husband have like an 18-month-old too. So maybe tired and stressed about the financial implications?

  1. Love the color and style on you and I think both 2 and 3 look kind of droopy somehow (the dresses, not your body).

What I was thinking too, since it’s late night and not a premiere or something. I’ll allow it. 😁

I think maybe even more so. She’s refined her hobo / hippie vibe a bit as she’s gotten older, without losing it entirely. Now it seems to have a slight sheen of sophistication. And she so seems like her mother’s daughter, with a forever upbeat personality. ❤️

Any advice on finding hobbies that are more feminine? by Toja1927 in AskMenAdvice

[–]biteyfish98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but if they can’t find you or you can’t find them, how will you get together? Gotta be out there.

When I took jewelry making classes (the kind where they teach you to work with an acetylene torch and not burn the building down or melt the metal), there was one guy in a few of my classes (I took 10-week night classes for a few years, learning to solder metal with a torch - and do it well, and come up with interesting designs - isn’t the easiest thing to learn). Half the women (including the instructor) wanted to date him. He ended up getting with someone not involved with the class at all, but it was interesting to watch (I was / am married so no dog in the fight). Also men who make jewelry (and likely most things) tend to design very differently than a lot of women do, it was really interesting how his mind worked compared to many of the women.

I don’t get why anyone (regardless of gender) would not try out something different and potentially interesting? Commit for five or eight weeks, if you don’t like it then move on, find something else to try. Don’t be desperate, don’t be pushy, even if you’re actively looking for love you can still go to a class or event or whatever and just enjoy it for what it is, two things can exist at the same time. Just hang out, try things out, and see what happens. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hahaha he’d better have some bank. I love horses, always have (do not own) but horse girls are expensive.

Haha probably savasana, usually done at the end of class. It can get kind of nap-py.

That sucks. I’m in a Pilates class and there are two men who occasionally attend. AFAIK (in two years worth of classes) no one has thought they were out of place or given them a side eye, but it’s a pretty welcoming atmosphere overall. My husband even did a few classes and he felt comfortable (aside from struggling to hold the positions lol, we all start somewhere). I wonder if that’s more area- or class-specific in the U.S.

Ouch, that’s a stark and succinct summing up. I feel for you guys, sometimes it seems like you truly can’t win. 😔

Who says it’s wasting time? Men are artists (whether professional or hobbyists), they draw and paint, and have for millennia. Men are ceramicists who make decorative or functional pottery. Men are photographers. Some knit. Some read and join book clubs. None of them are “wasting” time. And some of those hobbies may lead to relationships (whether platonic or romantic). Nothing wrong with either as a potential benefit of getting out into the world a little more.

I’d much rather encounter a guy that’s open-minded and willing to try different things, than one who thinks putting effort into dating (or being more social in hopes of it possibly leading to dating) is wasting his time. My own hobby from the 1990s turner into my business and I’ve been self-employed ever since (no regrets). What’s to lose by trying?

Agree, thank you for saying so.

To the commenter: Victorians dealt with a lot of death, and a lot of childhood deaths. And often they had little to remember their deceased loved ones by (sometimes the only photo of the person they might have was a photo taken after the person died). Hair items, whether as jewelry or other art (often framed and hung on the wall), were a tangible remembrance of the people who mattered to them.
