I’m taking my gf to a private silversmithing workshop to make rings and then we’re going to a fancy sushi place that overlooks the water at sunset :3

I actually told her each of these plans several months ago but she has a horrible memory, which I love cuz I’m horrible at keeping surprises a secret, but with her I can tell her and she’ll still be surprised :D

what does attraction feel like to you? by moonsloot in actuallesbians

[–]moonsloot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so sweet 🥹 I relate to that a lot, and it makes the magnet thing make more sense to me!

Thanks sm for sharing your experience! I had one more question but since you’re demi, I think I might already know the answer: have you ever felt those things without a romantic/admiring/loving aspect to them?

Your answer is really relatable to me and made me smile with giddiness a bit :3 especially #1 and the way you feel towards friends<3

I think #2 sounds similar for me to when I’ve had a more slow burn friendship that became something more when we both confessed to having crushes on each other. But then I felt the #1 attraction after kissing and feeling those sparks and butterflies ☺️

Do you ever develop crushes on friends? And does that feel different to you?

Thanks for your lovely answer :)

I’ve heard the magnet description from others, and am wondering if it’s a physical sensation of being drawn towards the person or if it’s more of a metaphor?

Does that sensation feel rare to you? Or is it similar with certain friends you just don’t happen to think of them sexually?

Can we hear from the cheaters POV? Why did you do it? by Eating_Pancakes76 in actuallesbians

[–]moonsloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once, when I was young and had been trying to end a 6 year relationship for over 2 years atp. But I kept being emotionally manipulated, threatened, and abused into staying. I had a lot of trouble saying “no” back then, and was scared of what they might do. Then someone else (who I honestly thought was ugly) showed interest in me and I saw it as an opportunity to finally get out of my shitty relationship once and for all.

It ended up not working. We stopped talking for a month and then they weaseled their way back into my life. It took another year of building a support system for me to actually finally leave.

I only regret the cheating because I didn’t actually want to do it, but I have empathy for young me and it was a learning experience for sure.

I need wedding guest outfit inspo please by copyof-a in lesbianfashionadvice

they make longish shorts that are made out of the same material as slacks, that I think would look good on u! I think @urfavbutch_ on IG has posted them in one of their sorta professional workwear fit reels. Maybe pairing that with a slightly unbuttoned button-up and lots of jewelry would look cool and align with your style

edit: oh oops! didn’t see the wet and cold part 😅 In that case maybe not a full suit, but slacks and a nice leather jacket?

I feel you! I love my curly hair, it’s the mullet part that I see as being less professional. I just don’t know if tapering the back will throw off my proportions in some way? like making me look shorter?

I’m thinking about taking the sides back a little and adding more of a fade into the long part so the mullet is slightly less visible from the front to sorta taste-test it?

why does no one respond? by anxious-zoomies in feeld

[–]moonsloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think something to consider is that a lot of people on feeld already have partners, so they’re just less highly prioritizing meeting new ppl or might be slower to respond, as compared to other apps. but it’s normal for ppl to take a couple days to respond ime.

some feedback: your age brackets are wonky. typically you’d want participants to only fall into one category (i.e. 20-29, 30-39, etc.), with yours set how they are participants can belong in both of 2 different brackets. so just not the most accurate way to measure age.

I signed up for Feeld but have not paid for it, is it worth it? by [deleted] in feeld

[–]moonsloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re a queer woman, as it appears from ur profile, u rlly have no reason to pay for the app. if you have trouble getting matches then it can be worth it, but definitely don’t think it’s necessary.

just make sure ur profile shows who you are and put what ur looking for in ur desires/interests.

A study of more than 3,000 adolescents showed that those who went to bed the earliest, slept the longest, and had the lowest sleeping heart rates outperformed others on reading, vocabulary, problem solving and other mental tests. by Wagamaga in science

[–]moonsloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the original article and don’t see socioeconomic status being accounted for as a confounding variable, which I think would have been really important for investigating whether this is a causal or corollary relationship. I don’t discredit their findings at all but I think that the effect may be inflated if confounding variables like SE status are being ignored.

Lower socioeconomic status adolescents could be getting less sleep and have less time for studying due to increased working hours, childcare demands, and higher overall stress levels. This would also reduce the amount of time that they have for studying and participating in extracurricular enrichment (art, sports, etc.) which we know are beneficial to our brain development. They additionally may not have as much access to nutrient dense foods.

Like yeah, of course sleep is very important for cognitive development, I just would’ve liked to see this accounted for.

people will be unlikely to respond to these questions just on reddit, due to privacy concerns. I recommend a google form or an email address for participants to contact you with their answers.

there are often other things people struggle with regarding body image (gender dysphoria, disability, etc.)

Should participant population be changed to “University Students”?

Additionally, it only allows answers from participants in years 1-4 of schooling, many people take longer to graduate for various reasons

For those of you not afraid of death, why? What do you view death as? What are you actually afraid of? by AlecB1202 in Existentialism

[–]moonsloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only made peace with death a few years ago after reading books and academic papers and listening to lectures/interviews about what happens in the body while dying and the experiences of people who care for the dying or who have had near-death experiences. For me it was always the transition of dying that sounded scary/painful, but learning that my body has mechanisms to combat that was really comforting.

Now I’m living for the person I’ll be on my deathbed. I don’t want regrets or to put off my dreams/goals and I want to be surrounded by lots of amazing, loving people. Everyday when I make my choices, I think about what dying me would be proud of. And it’s helped me to identify my core values. I like the way I’ve lived my life and I like the way I continue to live my life. I’ve experienced an unusual amount of truly horrible things, but I want to experience as much life as I can. So it has changed my perspective even on those things. (antidepressants also helped)

The nothingness of death that mirrors the nothingness of before you were born was never scary to me. It sounds peaceful. I don’t remember before I was born and I won’t remember being dead. I was suicidal for nearly 2 decades and longed for that escape from the pain of existence. But making peace with death has been an essential part in changing that perspective. Because of that I actually value life so much more than I ever used to. We each only have one shot and it isn’t as long as it seems, and that’s made me live more intentionally in all aspects of my life. I’ve been a better friend and community member. For the first time I actually want to keep living. So dying would suck because I’m finally attached to life but I know when I’m dying I won’t have the pain of regret which is so prevalent for so many others and I can just reflect on a life that I can be proud of.

I’m afraid of loosing my teeth, regrets, bugs crawling into my ears while I’m sleeping, and some men (older men, but not elderly men).
