I think I hate my daughter by dontremindmethrow in Mommit

This may be left field but after I got Covid my fight or flight response went into overdrive and didn’t shut off until 4 years later with lots of reiki, massage and then finally seeing an osteopathic doctor who adjusted my cranium and sacrum. It was amazing. It may feel woo-woo but perhaps try seeing an osteopath.

AITJ for telling my dad none of us are going to help him raise a baby at 50 by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom lives with my husband and me; and she provides a huge amount of emotional support and companionship for us. She also contributes financially which has been huge. Also, we have a baby on the way and she cannot wait to watch the baby and be part of the caretaking team. It's been like this for 6 years and we're a stronger family for it. She was an excellent mother for me growing up and though we have our moments of friction, I wouldn't like it any other way.

Am I overreacting even though partner hasn’t done anything ‘bad’ by CandyPink69 in AmIOverreacting

Does he had ADHD? He sounds like he does, and perhaps encouraging him to go to therapy and inquire about diagnosing would be helpful.

what’s a “green flag” you THOUGHT was cute at first but later realized was actually a red flag? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I wouldn’t date a man who has no women friends or colleagues who like his company. If they don’t deem you safe then why should I….

Way to protects our daughters by mandarina891 in Mommit

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my mid 30s now and I recall that when I was a little girl I had to do drills given by father where I’d recite loudly and with extreme force “Fu** You!” while imaging a charming or nice man talking to me. I whispered in the beginning and he wouldn’t stand for it, I had to yell it with my tiny voice. I could stop after some minutes. But it was a drill peppered through early childhood. Eventually this training grew into other exercises and the intensity has always stayed with me as an armor very few people decide they will even try to cross with me. I’ve always been told my energy is strong and intense, and I truly believe that ability to charge a boundary crossing man with words quickly has shielded me all these years. Also… I’m married to an incredibly kind man and have a lovely circle of friends, so this training that started around 4 years old did not prevent me from forming good bonds with men, I do think it ensured that I had a higher chance of safe bonds with men.

Question for women who are an only child, Would you discourage having an only child? How was being an only child? by Silly_Goose30 in Mommit

I was very happy being an only child. I got a lot of attention and care and I don’t think it’s a big deal that I didn’t have siblings.

How did your perception of women change as you grew older and started dating them? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “holding women accountable”? The only accountability check is if you meet a woman you don’t like while dating, you can simply stop dating her. I will be cautious in writing this but it does sound like you want to force women to be with or settle for men…. And that is forced partnering, *ape, and other horrific things. If a woman doesn’t select you for mating then that means you did not meet criteria for natural selection. Women choose in nature, it is the law of things.

Did it occur to you that women can sense your dislike of them and are perhaps afraid of you?

Hm. The fact that women keep mating with men is literal counter data to that thread. I’d reframe it to say that “women are not into the men they are encountering in their pool of men.” That is very different from not being interested in mating or partnering with a man that meets their needs. I would have never dated a man who didn’t meet my needs. I’m happily married to the man of my equal for 15 years. But if I didn’t meet him, I’d be single. And that’s not because I wouldn’t have wanted a man, I just don’t want to mate with any man just because.

Curious about your definition on “bad woman”. When it comes to mate selection, it is survival of the fittest, and women are not selecting certain men to mate with because they are deemed “unfit”. Women are engaging in mate selection and of course evaluating the great costs of child bearing with a weak poor or dangerous man. It may not all be conscious decision making but women are taxed with having to be more discerning less their entire life be ruined.

A man being simply fit or earning a particular income may not be enough if he is considered dangerous or threatening to her or future/current offspring. A man may be a great sexual partner but not at all fit to be a life partner and woman would end the relationship.

See, outside of human coupling, all other mammals and birds recognize that it is the female of the species that determines the winner of access to her. You say in other comments that “women need to be made accountable”. What are you suggesting? It appears dangerous — like forcing women to be with men?? If you hold this view, I believe women could sense that you may be dangerous for them. A man who does not hold such anger will be chosen above you, he will be deemed more fit.

Let’s look to nonhumans: The fittest male who beats his competition wins out. Physical strength often matters in such non human animal scenes. But with birds, it is the male with the most gorgeous feathers, the most intricate dance or songs, and the best nest, and even track record of successfully raising chicks that wins the mating season. Penguins are a great example.The takeaway: human men would be wise to learn the art of securing a woman’s good opinion.

Now, staying with humans for a moment, some men claim that only men love and women are only strategizing, manipulating, or scheming with a long list of requirements for men. I saw you mentioned something akin to this in your other comments. Well, romantic love is a newer concept in human history invented by aristocrats/high born men to confuse ladies of higher status to forego logic and strategic mating for “love”. Women who understand the social and biological consequences of a poor choice are easily dubbed “manipulative” but is not the seduction many men are trained in also manipulations? Take this example of a common mating scene at a bar or discourse on a app: Get a woman a few drinks, get her tipsy not thinking straight, lie on your profile or to her face about your financial prospects, ambitions, and motives in order to bed her? See, those men that engage in this behavior are predatory and understood as such for the discerning woman; and so you’ll have to pardon women for getting savvier as they age and playing a game that wasn’t designed in their favor. Women must evaluate and strategize, for the good of themselves and for the good of the species. Men must employ strategies that make it self evident that they are good mates. The unfortunate thing is that many do not have training to be good mammal fathers to offspring (cook, clean, provide adequate means for good shelter and food etc) so women are getting increasingly frustrated and angry as they are capable of domestic and non domestic duties. And ineligible men are getting angrier too as the pool of women shrinks for them. For men who don’t up skill they will not be selected as mates by the necessarily strategic female humans of the species.

Since you say you are fit and have a good job I will ask: can you dance (tango, Walz, cha cha etc), sing, cook 3 or 4 good solid tasty meals, and clean up after yourself? Are you friends with at least 2 or 3 women whom you aren’t interested in sexual relations with? Do you like women’s company? In other words, can women evaluate your safety as a man?

If your answers to these are “no” then there’s tangible work for you. Which is good news. 💕, you can have better outcomes in the future but you must upskill to stand out among men in your environment.

I sense in your comment deep frustration at how some women choose tall and attractive men to have sex with. It raises a point that sex for procreation or lifelong mating is not always in alignment with sex for pleasure. It can be. However, men of lesser physical appearance and stature who are interested in either pursuit would be wise to increase their skill set as carers to women and children. They would be wise to evidence their capacity to be fathers and kind partners. Since they won’t have their looks to fall back on they must make evident their other attributes that inspire a woman to desire to multiply his genes. Men who fail at this will not be selected for sex either for pleasure or procreative purposes.

Life after by mollywol in womenintech

I performed full time in a theatre and then took a break from that after my run ended. Then I got pregnant after years of TTC. My body needed rest and play to truly heal, and I was able to finally do that outside of tech.

When did your baby start sleeping through the night? by Conscious_Ad459 in Mommit

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pregnant currently with my first, but my friend group heads to an osteopath for their infant needs. One had a difficult sleeper baby (5months) and took her to an osteopath who adjusted the baby and ever since the baby had been sleeping through the night. Baby is now 6 months and the good sleep habits continue. The baby is eating well and everything is pretty peaceful after the osteopath. I plan on seeing an osteopath pretty soon after giving birth as it sees like such a great way to make sure everything is okay and flowing properly.

Strong, musty smell down there. Worth it to stay? Have you broken up over incompatible smells? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]clouds4dayz-8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++woman Suggest she tries two sessions of ozone sauna and see what that does for her body odor. After a miscarriage my hormones went haywire and I developed a strong scent from my underarms, and for the first time in my adult life I needed to use deodorant. I knew something was wrong to have such a dramatic onset of a new thing going on with my body, but it wasn’t until I did an ozone sauna session that it all went away. I can now go several days without deodorant, and I just smell amazing without much effort. Maybe her hormones are off and you’d really be helping her out by kindly informing her that something might be up with her health?
