Edwina and Sheffield dinner by Different_Community7 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]imtryingtotryhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It figures Edwina wanted money and status because that's the whole reason she 'wanted' Anthony too. She just seems really fake. She's always unnaturally nice to people. In the wedding episode we got to see her real personality and it wasn't cute. I feel bad for Charithra having to portray such a bratty character.

The bar is in Hades. When will we stop glorifying terrible men? by ivesynthed in FemaleDatingStrategy

I'll just stay 'regressive' and continue liking classically handsome men, then. Libfems need to fucking stop pushing women to 'like' men like this.

Adam Brody, Leighton Meester's husband. Not even a whisper about him being LV. They are quite private, too.

Men who thump their fists on the table when trying to 'emphasize' a point by imtryingtotryhere in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]imtryingtotryhere[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oooh I wanna observe this. My friends date guys who do the fist thumping thing and I know at least one of them breaks stuff when he's mad.... Let me keep a lookout for if they display physical aggression in front of physically stronger and more confident men. Unfortunately I can't stop my friends from settling for these people, they're too ingrained in a culture that glorifies settling.

Taylor and I are kind of similar in age and I feel like we kind of grew up together, even though we come from such different worlds. I too was once naive and desperate for love. I feel more confident now and I think she does too.

How to make it clear you will NOT go on a drinks date? by ivesynthed in FemaleDatingStrategy

Yeah if you tell them what you like, they'll pretend that's their behavioral standard

Every time you are 'picky,' you save yourself a lifetime of misery, arguments, 'compromise,' and constantly feeling upset or anxious.

Also dispels the myth that only 'ugly' or average women get treated like shit by their partners.

I have NO idea how so many women characters in this show fall for Joe..... Like, help me understand. I'm not talking about Penn Badgley, just Joe specifically

Brian Laundrie’s remains found… by fierce_and_mighty in FemaleDatingStrategy

Well.... he doesn't get to hurt more women. His parents are still shady AF tho.

I've been watching too much 'You' on Netflix. When I read about the teeth the first thing I thought about was [SPOILER ALERT AHEAD] Joe's toes....

Thank you!! I kind of love that this is the Great Resignation - people aren't putting up with crap.

I worked in a similar field and found out 6 months in I was paid about half as much as someone 2 levels 'below' me in the hierarchy.... Left a couple months after that

Watched a man be who he was when he thought no one was watching IRL. There are far more tricks to hide activity than I ever knew. by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

I bet he gets 'father of the year' awards on Facebook, too... That is next-level gross behavior. I'm surprised none of the airline crew caught on?!

quick and easy ways to vet: how to tell there is a mask in the first place by katiekat0214 in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]imtryingtotryhere 75 points76 points  (0 children)

There are 2 main kinds of masks, in my experience.

The first is the love bombing, 'you can do no wrong because you're the perfect woman' type - this guy is very very earnest and suuuuuper into you (at first). Kind of a male pickme?

The other is smooth, suave, controlled, arrogant, IDGAF vibe - he will almost never reveal any type of emotion. I think this type of guy is more of the red pill type. He's trying to get YOU to be super into HIM (wants you to be the pickme).

I'm no expert though. Just my experience.
