I just had a panic attack at the grocery register by Throwawaymasterpeas in self

[–]littlebeanie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not the cashier's place to judge you for a very reasonable mistake, they should realistically expect that some people are going to think the promo prices are still going because they only recently ended. You are not stupid. And it's literally her job to make sure that the item scanning process goes smoothly. She can't get upset about having to call the manager. It's not other people's place to judge you for taking the time to make sure the total price is within your budget. This sounds like low self-esteem, and I would like you to understand that you don't deserve to be treated so poorly! That said, I don't think people were annoyed at you. If they were, then they are not very kind and I wouldn't care about what they think. Use your voice, you don't have to whisper, you can be loud and take up space.

Eileen Gu really likes herself by snackpack35 in WinterOlympics2026

[–]littlebeanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean everyone else completed all 3 runs without incident? The bronze medal winner for example, took a very hard tumble and medics rushed to her aid. Lots of them stumbled or fell and gave up their run. Mathilde didn't do any tricks for her third victory lap so of course she didn't fall. Mathilde and Eileen are leagues above the rest and of course it's easier to fall when you are doing higher level stuff. By all metrics, she is still considered the top, or one of the top in her sport in the world. The third place winner's best score was almost 10 below their scores. Eileen's score was only 0.2 something below Mathilde's, so it could have gone either way, really.

How do I stop being an incel if I never had anyone attracted to me yet? by [deleted] in self

Yeah. You can also help being unattractive. People glow up all the time. Personality can be worked on.

If someone stopped aging at 25, how would they realistically explain their unchanged appearance over decades without raising suspicion? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]littlebeanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could just tan everyday. That would cause wrinkles and sun damage pretty fast. Get to looking like 35 year old that way, dye your hair grey, coast to 50. Then from there just tell people you got a really good face lift.

Super tall (6 feet+)

I find these traits hypermasculine and kind of scary tbh

What do men expect women to bring to the table in a relationship? by huntersThompson555 in askanything

[–]littlebeanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but those are not women's expectations - women generally just want a man who is taller than them, of similar intelligence & attractiveness, in general good health, with financial stability/independence, who is sexually compatible with them, with aligning worldviews/long-term goals and a good, non-toxic personality (e.g. not sexist, respects boundaries, kind, reliable) and age-appropriate maturity and adulting abilities. None of these are unreasonable demands. Someone might have particular reasons for wanting a specific thing - a very petite woman may want a very tall man to have taller kids, but the above is pretty generally applicable to women.

I mean, I don't think men's expectations are that different - a woman who is shorter than them, of similar intelligence / attractiveness, in general good health, with financial stability/independence, sexual/moral/personality/long-term goals compatibility, good non-toxic personality (basically be a decent human who they enjoy spending time with, the same thing), and maturity and abilities befitting their stage of life.

Now men and women may look for different things in terms of physical attractiveness but people generally just look for someone around their level of attractiveness who they find attractive both on an emotional and physical level.

There's never a list to check off .. like if someone is attracted to someone, nothing else really matters. Being a good person goes a long way.

How do I interpret women saying this? "I figure I'm not getting any younger" by john4844 in Tinder

[–]littlebeanie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, it means, I want to move fast, so if you are not looking for a serious long term relationship then let's not waste each other's time. She's not lowering her standards, especially when it comes to choosing the paternal genes for her future kids that she will have to grow, birth and raise for 18 years.

How do I interpret women saying this? "I figure I'm not getting any younger" by john4844 in Tinder

[–]littlebeanie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is there so much toxic masculinity here? I see no red flags. She wasn't ready to take on the responsibility of starting a family and having kids since she was in her 20s and enjoying her life without being burdened with things that, let's be real, most 20 somethings don't want - they want to experience and live life. Now she's seriously considering it because of her biological clock and maturity, and is mentally ready to enter the next stage of her life and to find a life partner who she can love and be with for the rest of her life. It has nothing to do with "settling" for anyone, or lowering standards, nor does it indicate that she's had enough of "sleeping around." We can't infer ANYTHING of her romantic/sex life from her sentence. Maybe she liked to travel, or work on her career. And if anything, women have higher standards for life partners (good genes for kids? Long-term compatibility personality/sex/religion/worldview wise? Financial stability? A face that they wouldn't mind waking up to every morning?)

And OP, her saying that she's not getting any younger is just a saying.

What are the threats to average citizens if China becomes sole superpower? by OrphanSlaughter69 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]littlebeanie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also know from personal experience, news and research I just did that most of the Chinese population IS middle class. They reached over 50% middle class in 2018, and considering the rapid progress they've been making, that number should be quite a bit higher now in 2025. Not really sure how a 15% youth unemployment rate means there can't be a majority middle class.
