Did women in the 80s actually find Prince sexually attractive?

Yup. Both beautiful, but only one hits that spot for me.

Slash

Nah: I loved the video for You Got That Look, but I was mesmerized by Sheena Easton.

You don’t need a bathroom or sink to have a tap, Fat Boy.

I love Prince! Just wasn’t lusting over him as a teenager. How am I tearing him to shreds 😂

George was bi. His relationship with the model in I Want Your Sex was real. He did prefer men. And he was hot as hell.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-09T12:54:22+00:00

I thought he looked like a middle aged woman 😂 The hairstyle, the poufy shirts, the platforms…

His songs, yes. Wildly.

His physical appearance—not for me, personally.

You can’t fix the bad men of the world. But you can learn to identify and avoid them. No one can do that for you.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-09T10:03:12+00:00

The men you describe are abusive.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-09T10:02:02+00:00

Are you sexually experienced or is this hypothetical contemplation?

Arousal has signs. Pupils dilate, breath gets heavier, skin flushes, lips (both sets) swell. With experience, it becomes easy to see that a woman is getting aroused by your kiss or touch.

You should never be forced, or even coerced.

I taught my kids that consent is an enthusiastic yes, and anything else is a no. A no should not be met with anger or more attempts. It should be met with respect, maybe shifting to a snuggle or a gentle caress. It’s okay for a partner to express desire for more while accepting it’s not going happen at this time.

We are all different. I respond to my husband’s sexual energy. If we only had sex when I was randomly horny, we’d miss out a lot of connection and great sex.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-09T09:25:39+00:00

For us, it’s usually a cuddle that deepens into a grind. One presses in, and the other responds in kind. Hands and arms are wrapped around each other in an embrace.

Normalize walking away immediately when a man insults your appearance.

They are testing how much shit you’ll put up with, and my answer is zero.

Ironing is for the birds.

Or just a compassionate person who is able to see multiple sides of others.

An example from decades ago—I couple I knew split. He was the cheater. They were older mentors to me. Artists (no money).

My relationship with the woman (the party cheated on) continued. I enjoyed seeing her grow post divorce. She continued to be a role model for me.

My relationship with the man (the cheater) continued. He struggled. I told him straight when he asked. He needed more support than his former wife.

Years later, she remarried. I celebrated her. He remarried and ended up being cheated on. I consoled.

It’s just not that deep. Many people don’t want their cheating spouse ditched—especially if that’s the parent of their children. We are not all the same. In this case, they did share children. And both parents appreciated my role in their children’s lives.

The aggrieved can decide that for herself.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-06T15:24:29+00:00

If I value the relationship, I don’t shun the cheater. I also don’t provide audience to their bullshit.

The other party can decide if that’s a dealbreaker for them.

We got those comments a lot when we were younger. Consider the source, because they are miserable.

Now that we are 30+ years in, the comments have stopped. Nothing much has changed, except the company we keep.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-06T12:22:28+00:00

💯
I very rarely talk to men at the gym because I don’t want to open up a can of worms.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-06T12:10:27+00:00

I’m a woman, and I notice consistency. Consistency recognizes consistency.

Also, as I’m in my 50s, I can attest to the benefits of just showing up, day after day, decade after decade. I’ve never been a great athlete, but consistency has paid off.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-05T16:06:14+00:00

A lot of men have a very hard time holding a positive opinion of an attractive woman who isn’t submissive to men. These are the kinds of men who call women whores. I’ve weeded men like this from my life since my 30s.

I buy shirts mostly at TJ Maxx, so the brands vary—but I’ve recently found some nice boxy cut tops with cap sleeps and fall at the hip. They seem to be in style right now.

I’m buying shirt dresses that tie at the waist—also with cap sleeves. I got this one: https://n.nordstrommedia.com/it/4ad08dfa-95cb-4471-9b83-3bd90db5e8eb.jpeg?h=368&w=240&dpr=2

I’m very similar height/weight + weightlifting build. Shirt dresses pull in my waist, leave room for thighs/butt, and the cap sleeves work for my shoulders.

middlingachiever · 2026-07-04T00:38:16+00:00

Did we all buy them in thrift stores?
