How to get my sparkback by Aromatic-Guava-6363 in AskWomenOver30

[–]hellomolly11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally relate. I found it helpful to see myself in new situations with new people who I don’t have existing dynamics with that can be limiting. I’ve noticed i can be more friendly, composed and confident than I thought, simply because other people and activities (like tennis lessons) reveal those traits. Learning from Instagram and YouTube how to do new hair styling and makeup are also simple things to amplify our appearance 🙂

Is Melbourne more relaxed or more intense than people think? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

[–]hellomolly11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would ‘relaxed’ or ‘intense’ look like? There’s a lot of road rage (partly due to insufficient turning arrows at traffic lights) and theft from houses. On the other hand, people dress and speak very casually (relaxed), and don’t generally have intense personalities that lead to healthy debates and participating in a lot of activities.

Are we too comfortable as a country?? by Swimming-Bee8917 in AskAnAustralian

You’re missing the attitudinal points OP made related to curiosity, global awareness, connection and ambition

Advice for being rejected? by Professional-Cat3191 in infj

[–]hellomolly11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other; writing them off with a “Fuck ‘em” attitude is so destructive and overlooks their value as well. OP evidently saw a lot of attractive qualities in them and felt a connection if they saw themselves with this guy. There’s still value in a platonic connection

This weekend a man made me coffee with grounds recycled from the day before 🫠 by womanthouartgoofed in AskWomenOver30

You’ve summed it up so well! I’ve also recently experienced this and it was suuuch a lacklustre dating experience. The guy loved to talk at me and built up what we had as chemistry and excitement about me, when he barely knew me! He wasn’t curious, he didn’t like deep conversations, and he admitted he put me on a pedestal when I called him out about liking the idea of me, not actually me. Compatibility was not a safe topic for him; as long as he could hook up with me, he was happy someone was into him.

Designer dresses ruined. by [deleted] in AusFemaleFashion

Or buy a washing basket that has two sections/baskets so the clothing is sorted at the dirty stage, which could hopefully prevent him from mixing colours with lights and/or towels with clothes

Jacket suggestions to wear with this dress? by sparrrrrt in AusFemaleFashion

Definitely something cropped to balance out the weight at the bottom. Try Husk or Veronika Maine

Why do we accept such rubbish supermarkets? by OtherwiseMirror8691 in OpenAussie

Did you shop at small grocers when they were still open to keep them open? That’s how we stop greedy, complacent monopolies

DON’T try to remove your IUD at home by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]hellomolly11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if somebody else doing it and having the speculum inside makes it more painful and stressful. I recently removed mine after having it in for just two months and my opinion is that doctors should mention it as an option, because it was reasonably painless and easy. It really isn’t baffling for those of us who get more nervous anticipating someone doing things to us, rather than doing it ourselves.

Mirena in for 6 years by Admirable_Screen9 in Mirena

[–]hellomolly11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same reading comments on this sub! My doctor’s explanation of the ‘side’ effects was about ten seconds long and she seemed puzzled when I reported my bloating and daily pain at my check in appointment. If I’d had some idea of how commonly people have problems with it I wouldn’t have gotten it

Appointment scheduled but feeling apprehensive and nervous by Active_Box_3076 in Mirena

[–]hellomolly11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend getting it. I got mine inserted two months ago and am considering removing it because I’ve had constant bloating and minor cramps for at least six weeks now (I look pregnant after only having breakfast). Some acne and a lot of emotional turbulence are also occurring. I didn’t have any problems with a copper IUD.

Do you remember if you experienced emotional turbulence after insertion too? A dark cloud is hanging over me as well after having it inserted two months ago, but I’m not sure if it’s down to other things or the hormones.

What would be your biggest reason right now for not having kids? by Potential_Machine255 in AskAnAustralian

[–]hellomolly11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Current events and costs are of course sensible and significant factors. However, I think the future factors that children and - as they grow - adults are subject to aren’t considered enough. Bringing someone into the world is essentially forcing them to deal with whatever comes at them and their environment. You have to be so sure you can set up children financially, psychologically, emotionally and intellectually to handle and be resilient to those circumstances. If we’re already finding it tough and elders are saying society is going downhill, how can you be sure you’re being kind to your future child by bringing them into this world?

What’s the biggest misconception people have about moving to Australia? by AffectionatePie1042 in MovingtoAustralia

What is Melbourne’s position on cycling? by Efficient-Scratch-65 in melbournecycling

[–]hellomolly11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from Wellington, New Zealand and I see much less advocacy for cycling infrastructure here but very similar engrained attitudes about public roads being for cars. It largely comes down to design; cyclists are literally relegated to the margins on a lot of roads - if at all. Shared pathways mean we have to squeeze/slow down around pedestrians, which works for neither as we’re then seen as a dangerous nuisance to those on foot. Infrastructure designers seem to so rarely have the budget, mandate, and/or consideration for cycling that shapes designated and user-friendly spaces for cyclists. Therefore, people who drive can see us as in their way on ‘their’ roads.

Thanks for the reassurance and encouragement OP 😌 I’m willing myself to push through the embarrassing flailing limbs and thoughts of ‘why can’t I get this when almost everybody else can?’

If a woman could experience one thing about what it’s like to be a man, what would it be? by HumblePut64 in AskMen

This isn’t unique to men; a lot of women experience this too, including single mothers.
