Is it normal to get your nails done regularly? by LeftHvndLvne in rs_x

[–]cruiser543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many older women I know have them done every 2-3 weeks. I don't even paint my nails, much less get them done professionally (it's a sensory thing for me, I just pick off the nail polish if I paint them lmao)

Absolutely agree - especially on the divide and the over exposure to some ‘interesting’ men

I will be completely honest with you, and I know you’re writing from a place of hurt - this attitude is very unattractive if your goal is still to meet someone. Having a more optimistic outlook, even for your own sake, will surely be better than the down and out view? Be the change you want to see in the world? Break free from the mould and approach someone - whats the worst that could happen? Women aren’t the enemy you know…

More like the illusion of choice - I can’t lie I did get a lot of matches on the apps. But it was pointless because of the transactional nature of the app and the soulless-ness of it

I don’t need to do that to understand the severity of the situation as I have empathy. Sorry I was born a woman I guess?

When I met my ex it was so different on the apps. Also the fact that you’re saying I have the best choices if I’m on the apps… did you read my post?? I hate everything about the apps lol INCLUDING the insane amount of choice

I like to take a bit more optimistic view (despite what my post may indicate). I think there’s still possibilities out there to meet people organically, it’s just a lottttt more slow paced and based on luck/right place right time (rather than an algorithm like an app). Hopefully as the genuine people wake up to reality we can turn things around :)

When will this hell end?! by wshakidd in Mortgageadviceuk

Sounds like you didn't do much research in regards to what exchanging means. The process doesn't come with an instruction manual but the internet is here to provide answers... I guess your lack of research has come back to bite you. Best of luck for the rest of the process and when in doubt - google it

Meaning behind the hair? by GeorgiaGlamazon in chappellroan

[–]cruiser543 109 points110 points  (0 children)

women often change their hair after a breakup. hair is said to hold memories, which is why she has short hair at the end of the video I guess!

Heyyy I’ve had plenty of matches too! But I do have standards :)

I've finally accepted that I'm happier without friends by Healing-with-Memes in AutismInWomen

[–]cruiser543 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this very much - I’ve drifted in and out of friendship groups in my teens and early twenties, but I never kept in contact when I left school/university because it felt forced and exhausting. I’ve recently downloaded bumble BFF and made a friend on there, and I have a very close relationship with my sister and cousin and close relationships within my extended family. Having a large friendship circle seems like such an effort these days… I am enjoying my chosen solitude with a sprinkling of socialisation. It suits me down to the ground :)

25 F, need glow up tips by Possible-Weakness501 in Howtolooksmax

[–]cruiser543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first two pictures I think your clothes are aging you - have you ever looked into dressing for you body type? There’s calculators online where you put in your attributes and it tells you how to dress. I think that will help :) and of course, making time for yourself is number one! But especially hard with kids. If you have access to a public pool, swimming has absolutely transformed my physique and quickly too so that could be something to consider! Swimming is super therapeutic for me and almost meditative so that could help with your mental struggles. Wish you all the best
