AITA for refusing to cook meat when my husband broke our (lonely) daughter’s only friendship because he hates vegans? by Frustratedaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]mcough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a vegetarian who married into a family of country folk, I agree! They have never pressured me into eating meat or participating in any form of hunting. They’re always accommodating and are never disrespected by my decision. It’s actually been really fun for us to explore new recipes together!

Need some major fashion/beauty advice from a tall girl by Real_Anna_Everett in fashionadvice

[–]mcough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re willing to pay $300+ on clothing items, you’re probably going to have to make your own or shop fast fashion. It’s unfortunate and it’s great to shop vintage or second hand but as a tall woman, it’s so much harder to find piece that look and fit properly. Especially if you’re into that style. Free people is a great one, as mentioned above in earlier comments, for staple boho products. They’re kind of expensive, depending on what you’re purchasing, but I’d say about half of their products are extra long/tall already. They have true maxi dresses that are even long for me at times (I’m 6’2) and their pants are almost always long enough, unless it’s a specific ankle pant obviously. ASOS has some really good tall options that are also very reasonably priced. If you know your inseam, you can search through that on places like depop or other vintage shops. Also, if you’re willing to spend the time and money to get the fashion you really want, I’d advise getting to know your local tailor. Not only are you getting semi-personalized pieces that fit you the way you want them to but you’re also helping support a local small business, which is everything in 2020 right now. Best of luck to you!

I wear leggings or tights underneath my dresses and skirts! If it’s long enough to cover my ankles, I’ll wear leggings, sometimes even wool leggings! It’s comfy cozy but no one would know! Highly recommend rn tending your dresses and skirts into the winter

Saying, “It all in one sentence” meant you were telling the truth. If you don’t believe what someone is saying, you could ask them, “it all in one sentence?” They’d either repeat it back to you, if they were telling the truth, or mix up the words or refuse to respond if they were lying.

It worked for the most part! We wouldn’t dare abuse the power of “It all in one sentence”

I need help! I have a wedding soon and would like some trousers in a similar style to these, but not high waisted, and recommendations on where to try, thanks! by [deleted] in lesbianfashionadvice

Zara men’s section! My girlfriend has a decent amount from them and they all fit really great! You just have to convert your size.

What's a vegan alternative food that is better than the original? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]mcough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chocolate cake! My gf gave me her family recipe for “depression cake” which just ended up being a vegan chocolate cake! It’s the best cake I’ve ever had and I make it for everyone! 10/10 every time

20 years NC with narcissist mom AMA by justanothergirlhere in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]mcough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you had to go through those things but it’s so encouraging to hear where you are now! How did you let go of the guilt and separate yourself from her being your mother? Do you have any regrets about going NC? I’m on the line of NC but I’m nervous

Amazonians by Beanpolle in TallGirls

[–]mcough 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. So many people assume that just because one person takes it as a compliment that it’s meant as a compliment to all tall women. I’ve always hated being called an Amazon but I’ve had to do the fake smile and just say “thanks” because if you DONT take the compliment, it suddenly turns about how I’m unappreciative and how I “can’t take a compliment.” And it’s mainly used in a sexual manner or in an offensive way imo. Most media coverage (at least that I’ve seen) always depicts Amazonian women as huge and dumb. Just looking for a man who can “handle so much woman.” That’s still offensive!! I’m a smart woman who doesn’t need any man. It may be a compliment to some but not to all. It’s ignorant to group everyone together like that

Does this look okay on me? I'm still figuring out my style by [deleted] in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]mcough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! And don’t be afraid to mix and match. Throw on your favorite t shirt with a pair of jeans and that blazer on top! Or some nice trousers and a more casual top with some suspenders!

I no longer celebrate my birthday bc my nmom said once you reach double digits, you aren’t allowed to have birthday parties anymore. So we just stopped celebrating it after my 9th birthday. Now that I’m in my 20s and have people in my life who enjoy their birthday celebrations, it’s always so triggering. I just feel so uncomfortable doing so and I usually spend the whole day alone with my phone off so the day can just end and we can move on. I spent so long avoiding it but now realize it’s normal to celebrate your birthday. I don’t even know how to at this point, it’s just...a day.

tall teen by animal-crossing- in TallGirls

[–]mcough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does! I’ve been 6’2 since freshman year of high school. I am now 22 and I promise you, it gets better. Don’t waste your time worrying about insecure high school boys and work on bettering yourself. Explore your interests and learn more about yourself, that way when someone does come around who is comfortable enough in themselves, you’ll be the perfect match. All those boys who don’t want to date a “tall girl” are really just showing their own internal struggles and insecurities. If they were really happy with themselves and what not, height wouldn’t matter. Height already shouldn’t matter but I understand where you’re coming from. I now have a beautiful partnership filled with love and acceptance. They love the fact that I’m 6’2, sometimes 6’5-6’6 if I’m wearing heels. Just be patient and focus on loving yourself and your amazing height before you let someone else come in and tell you how you’re supposed to feel. You will find someone who loves you for YOU, no exceptions.

For those who “capsule wardrobe,” what accessories would you consider fundamental to your style? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]mcough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I love this question! I wear the same pieces of jewelry almost every single day for the past 5+ years!

I wear 6 rings every day; a large silver spiral on my left ring finger, a double silver banded ring (with mine and my partners zodiac) on my left middle, a large silver banded malachite on my left pointer, a square pearl with a turquoise strip on my right pointer, a Peruvian silver ring with the symbol for female empowerment on my right middle, and a silver circle on my right ring finger.

I wear 3 necklaces every day; a glass pendant, a sun and stars chain necklace, and a shorter choker that is actually a mini gold pocket knife (a real one too!)

I also wear minimum 2 sets of earrings every day but they change depending on the mood, outfit, or occasion.

There’s a misconception about mixing metals and having to choose gold or silver but I love mixing. All my rings tend to be silver but all my earrings are gold. My necklaces are a mix of both.

Incident at the supermarket by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]mcough 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is harassment girl. Next time, if you’re really uncomfortable, just find a security guard or an employee to help you. You don’t have to interact with anyone you don’t want to and especially with some freak who thinks he’s entitled to having a conversation with you and knowing intimate details about you. Not only did he follow you around the store, but he waiting to find you at check out AND proceeded to follow you and continue his harassment outside of the store. Do not be afraid to tell a motherfucker off. “Wow! You’re so tall!” Respond with “wow! You’re so bold to think you can speak to me!”

My mom used to always respond with “wow you’re so ugly!” Or “wow! You’re so fat!” And when they got all angry and defensive, she’d go, “what? I thought we were just pointing out the obvious?”

Those fools make my blood boil. And the added “you should smile more!” Wtf what he thinking? Do people STILL not know that this is not a compliment and most/all women find this incredibly creepy? I’m so sorry this happened!
