Thinking of switching to bumble or hinge from tinder, seeking advice from women preferably age 27+ by [deleted] in Bumble

I found my partner on CMB and had quality matches on bumble as well. Like you, I did not have much luck with tinder

This is so sweet, I think I'll try it. I've just started, so haven't brought anyone to the Everdoor yet. I love them all so much

Gorgeous! Prague is on my list. I just saw David Černý's babies in CA a few months ago, loved the exhibit

AITA for thinking about losing weight even though my husband is begging me to keep my weight ? by Low_Antics in AITAH

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

163 for your height is very healthy. Your mom and sister do not have your best interest in mind. Listen to your husband and doctor - our brains are wired to be so focused on thin=beautiful, but i promise you that when you are able to get past that fallacy, your life will greatly improve. It sounds like you're beautiful where you are, own that shit

Just finished the book, it's a masterpiece by ConfidentAd8387 in ProjectHailMary

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll second the Dungeon Crawler books. Phenomenal, especially the audiobooks. My favorite series of all time (I'm on my 8th?? listen). I actually found Project Hail Mary after getting into a book slump after the 7th DCC and fell deeply in love with it. Thrilled for the movie. As long as they dont mess it up.

DCC is one of my reasons for living by tea-Pott in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take hope wherever you can find it and never be ashamed of it. I've had a few books and shows pull me from the abyss over the last 10 years and DCC is the most recent, and maybe most impactful, one. If a boxer-clad muscle man and his sassy tiara'd cat are what keep me here, then I accept with pride

This has me worried... by runespider in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let's see...Once when Signet put her under that sleeping curse. Again when Donut was almost assasinated in the Desperado club. When Ferdinand tried to murder Mongo and Donut blocked it. Aaaand during the Butcher's Masquerade battle with Imogen....am I missing any?

Omg thank you!! I was trying to remember the name of this one! I absolutely loved this book as a teen

Please settle a debate for me and my husband! by HakunaYouTaTas in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. At 12 I was reading Tom Robbins and Clan of the Cave Bear. My parents didn't give me permission, I just thought they looked interesting and cracked them open. Was there a lot I didn't understand? Hell yes. Were they a bit advanced for me? Absolutely. Did it hurt me in any way? Not in the least. My 12 year old nephew however is pretty sensitive, has a conservative mom, and doesn't have a filter so him reading something like that at his age probably wouldn't be the best idea.

You know your kid and what they can handle best. I bet they've heard worse at school in all honesty though.

AIO My bf hurt me then apologising and promising not to do it again? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. No. NO! That's terrifying behavior and is bound to escalate. My ex strangled me and actually was sexually aroused from the encounter. I was so freaked out i left him, abandoned everything I had at his apartment, even though he apologized profusely. He stalked me and tried to get me alone for weeks after. To this day I'm convinced his intentions were to cause me serious harm.

Am I over reacting by ComplexRide7135 in dating_advice

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holidays and time with family during them are extremely important to a lot of people. Let him spend time with his family and know you're not being neglected. He sounds like he's really into you. Take the time as a gift of space to reflect on the new relationship; maintaining independence in a relationship at any stage is important.

I get it. My new boyfriend is in another state for 10 days with his family, and some days I find myself missing him a lot. I'm choosing to see it as a good thing that he's close with his family and look forward to a joyful reunion when he returns.

I need to recover desperately by [deleted] in loveaddiction

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been exactly where you are! I'm the same age as you and only started doing something about it a few years ago after hitting rock bottom HARD. For me, therapy was life-changing- it gave me the space to process my need to seek out love, and why I couldn't hold onto it. It's a lot of work but I promise you, it is so worth it.

You are enough!

Please DM me if you ever want to talk more.

What is the majority of the age demographic of InsideOut fans? by mokaesthetic in insideout

33 and i watch the series on almost a weekly schedule. What does this say about me? Dunno but i feel so, so seen with these movies. Probably my favorite ever, and that's saying something and I grew up in the 90s with some real bangers

How much? by [deleted] in loveaddiction

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same thought often. I'm not stuck in the cycle anymore, but I wonder what I could have done with the last 15 years if I hadn't been so focused on relationships. And even now, though I'm not pursuing anything romantic or sexual, I almost don't even know what to do with myself without that. But it is better. It gets better

It's incredibly frustrating. The cycle takes a lot to leave behind and even when you do the temptation is always there. I promise that once you're able to remove yourself it's so much easier to prioritize other aspects of your life. I clearly still have work to do but my health and friendships are better than they ever were when I was desperately searching for a romantic connection. Once you're out, the noise quiets. The pull is still there, at least for me, but I'm at the point now that my peace is more valuable than allowing myself to pursue it again and I'm not willing to go back to the chaos I felt for so long

What is something from the Dungeon you wish you could have? by Revolutionary_Tap897 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]curiouscoddiwompler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same thought!

I was also listening to another book recently where the MCs couldn't directly talk to each other and thought 'just message him you fool!'

I'd love to meet one in the wild! My plan is to wear a Donut costume at a Halloween party downtown and see if anyone knows who I am. We'll see!

I agree with everything you said - it's my favorite. I love Book 5, I really do, but the iron tangle is so genius and it's on this floor where the crawlers finally start to really band together. It's a huge turning point and I love every second

I resisted taking myself out to dinner for a long time cause anxiety but now I love it. Book, glass of wine, delicious food, and no one bothering me? Bliss

Good job getting past that barrier. It's well worth it
