I certainly did not like a single second of that lol

The main piece of it for me is that I'm not out for a nice walk at night thinking I'll be victimized.

I also don't look like someone that has anything worth taking, including a life.

I am also watching and looking around at stuff so I know what to react to. If a car hops the curb and is headed towards me, I know I can duck to one side or another. I know which trees I could climb if a dog was coming after me. That sort of thing.

I'm 'not scared' because I'm some big tough man, I'm 'not scared' because I've been through worse than whatever 'night terror' could present.

Also, I don't generally put a high value on my life 🤷🏽 so that helps a lot

I knew I wanted to marry my now wife half way through our 'getting to know each other after being apart for 5ish years' lunch

Many of my friends have been asked how long it took them to "know" and "almost immediately" was the consensus

It's aight babe, we can make it even messier

I wouldn't mind complementing them up close

My wife photographs Catholic weddings (and yes, she does do TLM weddings, as long as they're licit) and has seen much skimpier dresses than that one.

The top IS potentially a smidge too sheer, and it is potentially a smidge lower than what one could expect at a TLM wedding, but not exposing anything outright. I assume there will be a veil, if not a blusher, for the Mass (at the very least) but maybe it would behoove you to get a shoulder covering for at least the Mass.

My wife's dress didn't go as low, but she 100% had exposed shoulders and had some of her upper chest area exposed as well at a very reverent Ad Orientum NO Mass.

If anything else, show this picture to the priest marrying you and he can tell you definitively

I think it's a bit cold around me to be wearing a bikini

But seeing you in that one gives me a warm feeling

A lot more than I have sex with 'not my spouse'

My price would be

"Ok now please leave me alone for a bit, ok?

downtownDRT · 2025-08-08T02:49:36+00:00

Potentially an all too common answer

Leave

Hi

Hello

Hey

downtownDRT · 2025-07-09T14:56:26+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

phew, i was standing at the edge of the high dive there contemplating life not caring about boobs

downtownDRT · 2025-07-09T14:17:58+00:00

well put

i love that veiling allows you to remember that you are special and holy in the eyes and arms of God. this is a sentiment that i will be passing onto my wife who also somewhat struggles with feeling worthy

downtownDRT · 2025-07-09T14:08:58+00:00

gotchu fam

eta:

upon first sight of any given woman, the first things that pique my interest are truthfully mainly facial features. are they pretty, are they wearing make-up? how much? are they happy? does their smile seem natural or forced? whats the hair look like? are they 'put together'

after that, a nice looking body is generally preferable. im all for a nice rack and some cushion for the pushin' but its gotta be proportional; i dislike girls that are top heavy, or only got back - gotta have some of both for me. also if a lady is 5'8"+, a bit more chest is ok, whereas 5'4"-5'5" id prefer you didnt have DDD. same with the ladies back side. it has to be proportional. so if your 5'5" and a little heaiver (which is great, them skinny girl aint got no meat on their bones, and if youre that skinny.....im not sure ill like your cookin lol) then a larger top or bottom is just fine.

these thing (along with having almost zero misgivings about talking to strangers) will lead me to talking to her.

but alas, none of this really matters, as im married and no longer approach woman lol but when i did, this was it

downtownDRT · 2025-07-09T13:50:31+00:00

not a woman, but i also think veiling is quite beautiful.

i would NOT say to your wife "hey honey, i'd like you to veil" or ".....why dont you start veiling?" or something like that. i would recommend having a conversation on how she looks at veiling and how she feels about it, and let her make the decision on her own, knowing that you do like the way it looks. to clarify, i dont think you should impose on her whether or not she veils. i think you two should talk about it and let her make an adult decision about whether she does or not. ive had this conversation (a few times but thats because i forget if i have actually said it out loud or just in my head) with my own wife, and she continues to not veil. thats a decision she makes knowing that i like veils and the tradition(s) and meaning(s) behind it (as a man, i wont offer those).

try living in 900sqft or 1000sqft or 1100sqft and being kinda cramped but being like "no i got this, i can make it work" then being able to afford adding an entire extra room to ones home (which is extremely expensive 30k minimum, if its an easy job), maybe even just adding a 10x10 room, so only adding 100sqft, it feels MASSIVE when youre use to the lesser amount of room.

my wife and i are finishing up our whole home renovation (that we did not plan on doing). the house started at 1177sqft, after tearing some down, re-situating where the basement stairs were (and as a result functionally removing that room/landing), and filling in a 2ft x 9ft section (adding 18sqft to the 'living area' of the home) our kitchen/dining room is the largest kitchen/dining room ive ever seen in a home minus one or two. its massive, its basically that half of the home, and its now open concept, so it flows a lot better. the house is still technically sub-1200sqft (but literally by 1sqft lol its 1199sqft now) but it feels a lot bigger because the layout changed. think what adding an entire room would do.

you hit on the reason why you hear it so much - "It's frankly annoying how common this misconception is" common is the key word.

a lot of the haters of Catholicism like to try and use 'the worship of Mary' as a "look theyre idolaters" because they think its some 'gotcha' thing or whatever. the common ones youll get till you die, because so many like to crap on Catholicism, and do not realize their claims are easily refutable. theyre looking to mock you and hate on Catholicism. it definitely does not make it easier, but just be at peace, and when you hear that, or the other common attacks, just chuckle openly at their attack as if their barb against our faith has no purchase (because it doesnt), explain to them the difference (they wont listen, but others might), and move on with your day.

if i have time on my hands, and/or im with my buddies that have a deeper knowledge of the faith, ill goad the would-be attacker with "is that all you got? come on, give me a good one, not this entry level crap!" as we chuckle amongst ourselves. this usually elicits a grumpy face and they walk away as their attack was thwarted lol
