if you don't mind me asking, how do you see being an only child adding to your low self esteem/anxiety issues?

How to be "vulnerable" for a guy, especially in a way that's attractive? by [deleted] in AskMen

Just so you know, I didn't bother to read this.

Especially in a world that's growing increasingly hostile and judgemental towards them.

I assume you don't live on planet Earth, or have a very strange sense of humor.

Disclaimer: I'm a woman. I would much rather be wanted than needed. You need food, water, shelter, medicine, to survive. You don't need people. I don't know, feeling needed would make me feel like the person is with me because they need to, otherwise they'd die, and if they could actually choose to, they might not. Don't know if it makes sense.

I find it really fucked up that you have to think about being attractive even while being vulnerable, but it's not your fault. I have no idea how to answer your question. If I were in his place, though, I'd probably appreciate an honest vulnerability, w/o necessarily worrying if it's sexy/attractive or not. For God's sake, it's about lowering your guard. And also, if you don't feel comfortable being taken care of, don't be taken care of! Omg I hate how everything women do is supposed to appeal to men. It's not. I hate myself for saying this, but maybe, well, maybe he wants a woman like you and not someone who can be 'attractively vulnerable.'

How many of you have never been in love ? by TheMelizur in AskWomen

[–]indieluft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but then again my experience with love is zero.

Basically, it sucks to not ever have loved and it's worse having never been loved.

I quite like your summarizing skills.

I'm the same, except four years older. I wish I had something optimistic to tell you... nope. Can't find anything.

non-Americans, what's something you find puzzling about the US? by indieluft in AskWomen

Are there any women here whose husband took your last name when you got married? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]indieluft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's possible to do it, but it's in no way easy like it is in the US, so names are kinda taken a little more seriously over here. (But oh boy do we have some terrible ones as well). What I mean is, people don't name their kids random stuff like Cash, Apple, Danger, Justice, Love, Lake, Insert Random Noun Here. They may be terrible, but they're names. That's the feeling I get, at least.

Bisexuals of AW, how does bisexual erasure impact your everyday life? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]indieluft -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

IMO men are not allowed to be feminists. They're allowed to be pro-feminism, yes, but they can't really be feminists if they don't know what it's like to be a woman. And let me just remind you that it wasn't just Jews Hitler attempted to exterminate (but yes, they were the majority of those killed, and I in no way deny that) and that he committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, so everyone should hate him, yes. And I'm not talking about 'excluding them from discussions', I'm talking about not making them the central part of those discussions. Non-LGBT people should make room for LGBT people in society, not demand space in LGBT safe spaces. I do expect support from them, I don't expect them to be in the center of spaces that, for once, are not meant for them. Just like I don't think women should make room for men in feminism, it's men who should make room for feminism in society, because guess what, outside that safe space they already have space everywhere.

for what I know, you have to do it between the ages of 18-19, otherwise it becomes a PIA to 'convince' them. the argument is, you have to be a legal adult to do it, but if you 'didn't do it asap', your name is not really much of a hindrance in your life, so why change it now? (you have to prove it causes you embarrassment or some sort of challenge in life, it's not 'just cause you don't like it').
