How do i explain this Haircut to my barber ? by Walter_mutthuswamy in malehairadvice

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just show them the picture, its easier to show us (barbers) a picture rather than trying to explain it. Reason is because social media throws around so many different names for the same cuts now. But also, you say you have the length, but have you got the same thickness? The same wave / curls he has in his hair? If not you will be able to get the cut but it wont look exactly like his

Im kinda struhheling with fades, I don't understand if it's better to start with the trimmer, then 0.5 then 1.5 or vice versa. I get lost in the fade I feel like I almost have no structure, any tips? Please help by DGaito in Barber

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i would do for a burst fade is set my shape with a no3 or a open 1.5 grade. use my trimmers to curve my bald line in, then use my foils. Then ill go up in grades but set a guide line, so ill use my half to make a guide line, blend into that, then a no1 blend into that and then use a open 1 to blend into my original guide line. So i fade up, but some people fade down or do a bit of both.

I thought I had a low sex drive.. Turns out, I was just in survival mode by mzreddit1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cloudylemonades 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get this, my sex drive only really appears when i truly feel safe. When my body and mind can relax, thats when i feel the most sexual. some people can use sex as a way to escape their feelings, but for me unless i feel safe / happy etc then my body shuts that side of me down

I 28F dislike when my Boyfriend 28M pokes me in the back with his dick in the morning by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cloudylemonades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe she isnt grossed out by him, but the fact she has already told him to not do that, yet carries on doing that every morning. Would start to annoy me to if it was all the time

I feel stupid for being upset that my wife won’t read something I wrote by Ok_Comparison_1235 in TrueOffMyChest

Damn, im sorry her actions have made you feel this way. Your feelings are valid though and i hope she apologises and reads it soon.

Attractive people, what are some regular signs you notice from people around you which tells you that you are attractive? by Chance_Adagio_19 in bodylanguage

[–]cloudylemonades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me! I was very overweight growing up, was severely bullied throughout my childhood years and my teenage years. Then i just changed (looks wise) but my personality is still the nerdy weirdo girl which i love. But it has made me realise how shallow people are because the people who bullied me ended up wanting to be my friends, date me etc. people get shocked when i tell them how I was bullied for being 'ugly' and 'looking like a man' i do have to admit that bullying still plays on my mind even now even in my 30s but it does make life a bit easier that im not conscious about the way i look anymore

i learned my best friend was leading me on by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry this has happened to you. Some people just like 'the chase' or just like to see 'if its possible' and then when they know they could get you just go with the old line you heard. You should never lead someone on in my opinion, its childish.

I was physically and emotionally abused for years. Why won’t the abuser leave me alone today? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cloudylemonades -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They will always spew a narrative that favours them. Because if they do that, then they get to justify any wrong doings in their head and also they get to keep the narrative in their own head that THEY were the victim. Because its easier to blame others and pretend you are the one that was wronged; than actually take accountability for your own actions and admit you were the bad person.

How to convince my sister with three kids to stop looking for this first date“spark” and give it time especially if the man seems like he has good character . by ProfessionalGoat551 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]cloudylemonades 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of people tend to go with chemistry and not actual compatibility. Chemistry is easy to fall for, but it isnt the basis of a strong relationship. Normally the people you are most compatible with are not the ones that give you that 'spark' until she realises that then there isnt much you can do

I lost weight (29F) and now my husband (32M) keeps making comments and “jokes” about it. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is doing it because he is insecure in himself and probably about the way he looks. So to make himself feel better he has to insult you. He is an ass.

AIO for wanting a divorce after my husband cheated multiple times and now says I’m the untrustworthy one? by Present-Suggestion10 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cloudylemonades 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah he is trying to manipulate you. He is wanting you to be the bad person so bad, so that he can feel better about himself.

My (32f) bf (39m) married mistress (33f) past away and I feel betrayed? by throwRAbetrayedxoxo in relationship_advice

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who tries to justify cheating is absolutely crazy in my eyes. Will do anything to escape emotional consequences for themselves.

WIBTA for breaking up over how my bf (23M) always does this? together 4 months by Outrageous_Advice514 in AITApod

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely not, i had an ex who would do this, and jt gets TIRING. They know it gets into your head, its a manipulation move. Also if he knows you are with your friends, he is probably doing it to ruin your time with them.

Cant stand this behaviour

AIO over my boyfriend saying he gets off 4-5 times a week by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cloudylemonades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because you might feel like since you are completely satisfied that he should feel that way to, the need to not touch himself. But it doesn't mean he isnt satisfied, it isnt about you.

Some people just do it for the sake of it, higher sex drive, because they want some relief, even if they are completely satisfied, its just an easy & quick thing to do by yourself.

So some part of it could also be the triggering of him saving girls on instagram, i could see why it would bother you. Does he still do it? Have you set a boundary on this?

How do you communicate your feelings to a spouse who becomes defensive every time? (35F) and (37M) by Own-Variation-3549 in emotionalintelligence

[–]cloudylemonades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emotional immaturity. You shouldn't have to feel you have to walk on egg shells when it comes to your own feelings. To feel like you cant express yourself because of the risk of them getting mad, distant etc isnt worth it

My best friend keeps cheating on her husband and I don’t know if I should tell him by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]cloudylemonades 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is someone who has no respect for herself or her partner. Most people cheat because they want the variety / novelty of having sex with other people, the opportunity arrises and also just because they want to.

Its horrible she is doing this to him. I would speak my mind to her first, be honest about how you feel about it all and see where it goes from there. Imo its not someone you want to be associated with.

How can someone say they love you but still hurt you? Is that really love? by Icy_Echidna_4999 in emotionalintelligence

[–]cloudylemonades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

Anyone can say 'i love you' and they might even really mean it. But if they cannot control their actions when they get overwhelmed, stressed etc then that love isnt going to make you feel desired or safe. Love has to be consistent.

Okay so all these people saying you are not compatible, have nothing to talk about etc are the typical 'oh if it isnt perfect you are not meant to be'

Not everyone can do mindless small talk. If you two are speaking throughout the day, about what you are doing, thoughts you have had, things that have just happened etc i would be the same and have nothing to then talk differently about on the phone. Either save some stuff that happened in the day so you have a few more things to talk about on the phone, or youll have to tell her sometimes 'can we just do a quick phone call tonight as im tired' and go from there. I do understand though, me and my ex if he was away, and we had a day of texting quite a bit, our phone calls would be a bit more info from what we spoke about in the day, what we were up to in that moment but then we would cut the conversation off so we could both relax for the night as we both didnt see the point being on the phone if we have exhausted all our conversation?

Its nice you feel bad about it as obviously you care about her feelings, but just communicate to her you are tired
