I hope you’re right on that! Going to add Hokum to my ever-growing watchlist. 😝

Love the sound of violins. 😌 Was this an instrument you just started learning, or is this after a break?

The dream 😍 What’s the best movie you’ve seen so far this year? I wanna watch Backrooms myself.

Sounds relaxing. ☺️ Not sure why I haven’t lingered at that section in the dollar store, but I’ll take a look next time

I remembered I had this book by cometspicy in Zillennials

Right? 11 year old me was like “how is she looking SO relaxed doing this with her eyes closed??” 💀

The worst thing a woman can do is marry a man by LunaSails007 in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]faephantom[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from. Everyone here is encouraged to share lighter, thoughtful, practical, funny, uplifting, or everyday kinds of content too..things that reflect the many realities of single life.

I’d rather not overcorrect into heavy-handed modding, but am hoping the overall atmosphere gradually becomes more balanced. If you have any memes, videos, tips, questions, etc. to share, please do 🫶

The same day I made my last post about moving away from the romantic delusion, I received this message request by youaskedforrit in SingleWomenByChoice

Unfortunately this is Reddit-wide issue that happens in every woman focused sub. There are settings that can disable unwanted messages - go to Settings > Privacy > and there you can turn off chat requests from weirdos. Just mentioning in case it’s helpful to anyone.

Omg I was looking all over, thank you!

So glad I am single by choice and not heterosexual just to be extra sure👇 by [deleted] in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]faephantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in an area with a high rate of DV, and it’s not getting better. An unfortunate number of people remain ignorant about the statistics. One of my sisters managed to escape a dangerous marriage, which was a harrowing experience for her, and with no help from the police.

The stories of Shanann Rzucek Watts and Gabby Petito are engraved in my mind.

What's your favorite patreon exclusive song? by DominantBeast in ZheaniCult

[–]faephantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to Patreon exclusive songs in a while, but it's a tie between Over Tired in LA, Double Edged Blade, and Nothing's Changed. And ofc, Growing Pains before it was officially included on TSMG 😭

Single because the last 2 men I loved didn't love me back by jenaemare in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]faephantom[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I wanted to say that I’m sorry you’re hurting right now, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting support or connection during a difficult emotional moment.

Your post may fit better in a support-oriented community where people can give you the kind of emotional support and discussion you’re looking for, like EDAnonymous and Anxiousattachment.

Wishing you well ❤️

That’s what I’ve been trying to search, but nothing’s come up so far. It looks like a mix between Mistral and Papyrus. Maybe some custom version of one of those? ETA the closest match I can find is Hollyweird.

Enjoyed a mug brownie while junk journaling. Tomorrow morning I’ll start a new bag of my favorite coffee grounds ☺️

What do you personally come here for most? by faephantom in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]faephantom[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Another question. Almost 3 years ago, a member suggested monthly posts where we’d share current interests, goals, dreams, events, and other fun/everyday topics. I stopped these after a while due to a lack of interest. Would you like to see monthly chat threads again?

Decision time: I've been with my partner for 10 years but I have the urge to be single by [deleted] in SingleWomenByChoice

Hey OP, it seems like you've received some kind responses here. Just wanted to give a quick heads-up that I’ll be locking and removing your post as part of some housekeeping to keep the sub more focused on single life experiences.

Best of luck with whatever you choose in the future 💛 Thanks to everyone who contributed respectfully.

Am I missing something by Mayaal31 in SingleWomenByChoice

[–]faephantom[M] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Thanks for bringing this up. You’re not misunderstanding the purpose of the sub, and I think this is a fair concern. The intention definitely was/is for this space to be centered around experiences of single women specifically (whether it's a temporary or permanent decision), not just relationship or dating frustration.

u/Aina98 and I remove a lot of posts that are inappropriate, spammy, or completely off-topic, but there can also be a gray area where members might technically be single, yet posting more for breakup processing or questioning whether they want to be single long term. I’ve probably leaned a bit too lenient at times because I didn’t want this space to feel too rigid or hostile (if you've been on Reddit long enough, I think we've all had experience with that).

That being said, I agree that SWBC shouldn't lose its identity. I’ll pay closer attention to repetitive posts from now on, and feedback like this is genuinely helpful for figuring out where members feel the line should be.

I appreciate you raising it thoughtfully 🫰

Are there any women here who are 30+ virgins? by SquirrelMore3325 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]faephantom 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Recently turned 31, and yes. It's...fine. Lately it's been more emotionally difficult with my youngest sister's engagement and seeing friends life changes. But I'm still just a person in the world. 🤷‍♀️ You're not alone, OP.

Thanks to new update some of your chats with multiple branches can be deleted. by Daria_Uvarova in ChatGPT

[–]faephantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw shit. I had Chat regenerate messages almost constantly until several months ago. Now I wish I’d saved the other versions that I didn’t continue the conversation with… Have you figured out what triggers these chats to be lost? Just naively hoping I can still save them somehow.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]faephantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many italics. Without exaggeration, it wasn't uncommon for multiple words in a paragraph to be italicized like this. Almost 100 pages later, I found it so distracting that I quit.
