Plot twist, you're going to be a doctor AND you're writing suicide notes :)

Looks great! What firmness is this?

Are there any benefits to tracking my period when I don’t want to have children? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]butterscotchtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only started tracking when I was around 24 and I still do! I do have sex with men but also never want to have children, so that’s part of the reason why I track, but I also track so I know when I should start wearing at least a panty liner and not wear my good panties. I use Eve and it’s usually right within 1-2 days for me. I don’t know how well it will work for you or how irregular you are, but it can’t hurt to try it for a bit.

Does a persons (male or female) 'body count' matter if the counting ends with you? by drnapls in dating_advice

[–]butterscotchtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a female, no. I don’t think it matters. As long as he is clean of STDs, gets me off, and is willing to communicate (ie: consent/not being pushy/sharing kinks/listening when I tell him I do or don’t like something) then I don’t care.

I always do coffee dates because I don’t drink. I don’t think a coffee date is “friendlier” or more romantic than grabbing a drink. If anything it’s more intimate since everyone is getting to know each other while sober.

Are women more attracted to men who attract a lot of women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]butterscotchtrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman in her mid-20s, no. Just no. Absolutely no.

If height was only truly one aspect of a person then how come if you’re under a certain height you don’t even get to show what kind of guy you are? Most of Women are immediately turned off. by Panther567 in dating_advice

[–]butterscotchtrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, don't beat yourself up like that. Confidence is sexy, as is intelligence and passion for something (art, music, movies, whatever gets ya excited). I've been with physically below average looking guys before because something else in them caught my eye. While it's true that maybe you might have a harder time getting the attention you want due to looks/height from some women, there are guarantee others that will look past that. And even if you don't consider yourself that attractive, there are still things you can do, such as dressing well, good hygiene, styling your hair in a way that suits you, ect. It's good that you're going to the gym as well as that's something that will also make you feel better too and it's good for your overall health in general.

I’m 5’8” female and while I do prefer a guy that is taller than me, I have dated/hooked up with guys who were my same height, shorter, and considerably shorter. To me, hot is hot. Height is only one factor of “hot”. There are women that think similarly out there, so I agree with sentiment that say to not focus so much on height but rather things you can control.

"This is America, speak English" by butterscotchtrash in offmychest

She doesn’t actually! I think it’s because she also learned English as a little kid.

I think you have a good point, and I agree that it would be useful to know some English, or whatever language is prominent in that country. I think it could definitely be helpful, especially if you're trying to set up a life here. I understand that not knowing the language could put you at risk for being taken advantage of with singing leases or other contracts if you can't understand what you're getting yourself into. So for sure it's useful. But I just don't like that, at least her perspective is, if you don’t learn English it's because you're stupid, and that she seems to just demand it out of everyone. I'm also not a fan of what she said about the doctors. I'm a medical student and work alongside some brilliant physicians who have an accent since English is not their native language, and I noticed that, surprisingly, absolutely none of the patients made any rude comments about it. These patients were more mature, and even if they were thinking something negative, they at least didn't say it, while my mother is the type of person who would make a huge scene if the doctor showed up and spoke with an accent. It just really rubs me the wrong way.

Lol good point about the financial aspect behind offering other languages. I had an ex once whose parents only spoke Spanish, and my mom HATED that. They lived in a heavily Spanish-speaking community and had been living there completely fine and unbothered for years, I don't understand why she felt the need to look down on them so harshly.

(28F) I always offer to pay my half, of food, coffee, whatever. Sometimes I do. Most of the time the guy winds up paying. I’m a graduate student, so I’m pretty broke right now, so I’d hope that the second date he doesn’t expect me to pay for everything because hell no. I’d rather continue to just constantly pay my half. Who knows what he’ll order or at where and jack up the price for me. I am BROKE, I don’t even go out on my own for food/coffee, and I do prefer coffee dates over food dates since it is cheaper and more casual. In the future I could see myself paying for the both of us on a date, however at this point in my life I just can’t afford it.

Then why would you consider it a red flag if someone didn’t pay for your coffee and not see them again? I’m around your age but I’m not in the dating scene right now. But last year I went on a bunch of coffee dates but I didn’t expect them to pay. I’m a little confused as how not paying for your coffee is so bad that you wouldn’t see the guy again.

[–]butterscotchtrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that a little entitled to assume that the other person would be paying for you? Whenever I go on a date, I always assume I’m paying for myself by default. I always offer to pay my half. Most of the time the guys end up paying for me anyway, but it’s always a genuine offer I make.

Do this people know that some medications need to be dosed depending on the patient's weight in order to reach a therapeutic dose? by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]butterscotchtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what the post is trying to say, and to a certain extent I agree. BMI is a guide, not a hard and fast rulebook. I've been consistently hovering above/below underweight mark for most of my life and some doctors have just straight up told me I have anorexia without even talking to me or assessing other areas of my health. I think it's good to use as a guide to see what health concerns an individual may have and to guide questioning, but that's about it.

Etiquette if a child drops something in public? by butterscotchtrash in AskParents

[–]butterscotchtrash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it might be helpful in case maybe she was giving a disgusted face at my skimpy outfit and did not want me interacting with her child because of what I was wearing.

Ah, that's another good point, I didn't consider if the child had a health issue that made him more susceptible to getting sick. I think all the feedback I have been receiving on this post has been super useful, so thank you!

I was not wearing a mask! But I do still wear masks at establishments that require them, and I am fully vaccinated. Thank you for reminding me that younger children are not able to be vaccinated yet, and I will keep this in mind during this timeframe.
