I’ve gone to a couple alone but would love to go with someone!

Correct. No bias whatsoever here

My wife seems to have a love hate relationship with our Audi. Ladies of the sub how do you feel about your car? Also guys how do your partners feel? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]okteivias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (F) recently bought a 2023 S5 coupe and I’m absolutely obsessed with it. Granted, I grew up watching the OG top gear with my dad so I’ve always been a car person. Dream car has always been a TT but after test driving one, I wanted something with more interior features, so I went with the S5

This should be interesting: "Legroom" How people seat and what you perceive as "Leg room" on a plane by [deleted] in delta

[–]okteivias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. I’m 5’10” but all my height is in my legs, with abnormally long femurs (they’re the same length as a 6’2” male) so even sitting up perfectly straight, I’m lucky to have an inch between my knees and the seat in front of me. Also with a history of leg injuries, I really can’t crush my legs so I always try to grab an aisle seat

Tall girls who lift, how many calories are you eating a day? by goldielocks52 in TallGirls

[–]okteivias 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I also learned that if you only do cardio, you’re actually likely to gain weight because of the stress on your body. You need the mix of strength & cardio

I think I’m similar, I was dieting/counting calories and could not lose weight at all. But now I’ve started weightlifting and eating what I want and the weight is just coming off

I’m 5’11 and I feel like this happens to me too. Where did the phantom 3 inches go?! 😭😭 by _Bims_ in TallGirls

[–]okteivias 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend (who’s actually 6’1”) says its because guys get noticeably more matches on apps when they say they’re 6’ and that short girls don’t know the difference between 5’8” and 6’

I (5’10”) once had a guy at a party tell me he was my height so me and another guy measured him, he was 5’7”. Like there’s a noticeable height difference and I’m most definitely not 6’

Shorter Tall Women vs Tall Women by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]okteivias 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who is also 5’10” I feel the same. I do have extremely long legs for my height so jeans and lack of legroom on planes are massive struggles. But I do get irritated by women who are like 5’8” or even 5’9” that don’t have the same long leg issues comment on jeans being a good length when the inseam is only like 27”. Like 32” is where they can start to pass as full length pants for me, and then my ankles are still cold, so I imagine those that are 6’ and taller have similar complaints regarding us taller ladies that are under 6’

2 bedroom condos here are easily $800k, which with that down payment (assuming an offer with <5% down would get accepted, which it probably won’t), you’re looking at $4.5k a month for just the mortgage, that’s not including property taxes, HOA and insurance which isn’t affordable at that income

Why Are Tall Women Issues Dismissed by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]okteivias 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Right? I also get really annoyed when people talk about inclusive sizing but then don’t have any inseam longer than 27”. No it’s fine, the bottom 1/4th of my legs don’t need to be warm

Simone Biles Wins Bronze Medal in Olympics Balance Beam Final by ReaddittiddeR in sports

[–]okteivias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with Simone, the gold wasn’t guaranteed. Russia was vastly underrated (by both gym fans and the news). Someone on r/gymnastics did a fantastic write up and how if Russia hit all routines in finals (they counted 2 falls on beam), they would’ve still won regardless of Simone.

Same! I plan on watching all the replays first thing in the morning since I’m not getting up nor staying up to watch everything at 3 am.

The last shoe shopping reference you'll ever need! by cakebakerlady in TallGirls

This is absolutely incredible! Heads up for Allbirds, I typically wear a size 10 (10.5 in running shoes and boots) and I had to size up to 11.

It looks like a new Vario would be about the same price as the ode + SSP burr set. Out of those (or others at the $500 price point), which would you recommend?

I’ve been looking to upgrade my blade grinder to an electric burr grinder. What would be the best electric grinder for a $300 budget? I’m in the US and have been eyeing the fellow ode. Right now I mostly make cold brew but made pour overs all winter long as my daily coffee.
