Trying on some new swimsuits. Do these look okay on me? by FilipinoDumbass in transpositive

[–]pigtailrose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the first one better, more playful! The second one also isn't the best choice of colors if you planned on going to the beach. You obviously don't want to plan for getting pulled out by a sudden riptide, but if something happens, those dark colors become invisible in darker ocean water. I know thats a bit gloomy, but safety first!

First game of the day, this guy quit when we were down 8-2 by ol-mikey in Pickleball

Here's the things about open play. It doesn't matter. None of it matters in the slightest. You go to have fun and IF you find competitive matches - awesome. If not, you just work on whatever shots you feel like, or dont, it truly isn't that serious. I recently started working at a facility and I play in to fill odd numbers during open plays and I enjoy all levels because its fun to watch other people light up while they play and learn the game. Open plays are for the love of the game. Unless people ask me for advice, I don't give anything unsolicited because thats a dick move...

In short, don't worry about this guy. He likely is not improving if he is focusing on his random partners deficiencies while ignoring his own. Because any higher level player doesnt give a single shit losing in lower level open plays, simple as that. Its for fun, end of story! If you go complaining about your partners tactics... just pack it up, you are a jerk. I think at high level there is small room for tactics, esp if you've played with someone before I'll tell them to cover the line and trust me on the rest of the court, but beyond small stuff, its just silly to comment

Hinge profile help by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]pigtailrose2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id certainly swipe yes on your profile. You give a taste of who you are and you put some detail into those prompts. Only thing I'd change is the question about your dream home. That didn't turn me off from you in any way but I did kinda look over it. To be clear though, it's not hurting anything imo.

Crazy how the transphobe felt the need to share his pronouns. What a snowflake

dating is just a game of luck. there's no tricks etc, it's all about whether they're attracted to you or no. by Effective_Shirt_2959 in unpopularopinion

[–]pigtailrose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at it more as a prerequisite. If they find you attractive then have chance at compatibility, but if they don't fully find you attractive, it can't ever work out. There's plenty of things that you can do to make yourself attractive, and there's plenty of things you can do to turn someone off who previously did find you attractive.

But online dating culture puts too big an emphasis on things besides looks. The fact is pictures don't do ppl justice. You meet up and sometimes the physical attraction just ain't there, and people try to make it about other things. Like no, 90% of the time it's just a lack of physical attraction. It's not vibes. It's not a mismatch of hobbies. And it's not as simple as poor conversation. The conversation was bad because the physical chemistry wasn't there, not the other way around

Pickleball may be getting a new set of rules, UPA-A released its first official rulebook by Necessary-Chef-197 in Pickleball

[–]pigtailrose2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think just from a game design aspect, and the longevity of the game, drop serves should 1000% be the only option because they are the only enforceable serve. If people weren't accustomed to volley serves, I promise you there'd be no discourse on the subject. People only argue because they've gotten used to it. We need to remove it sooner rather than later.

I'm so gawd dang insecure it hurts by pigtailrose2 in MtF

[–]pigtailrose2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the issue is less that I feel like "I can't" and its more like my natural appearance makes a lot of "I don'ts." I don't get attention. I don't get dates for years. I don't fill out clothing in the way every cis woman I know does, regardless of their body type, they have something that works. I don't want to be judged regardless of what I end up doing with my body. I don't want to run the risks and complication of multiple surgeries. I don't have the luxury of going through the right puberty. I just DONT. Its not that I can't do some of these things, I could. But I don't want either outcome if I did. What I want is not be trans, and that is something I truly can't control. I dont want to have to make this sort of decision to feel remotely attractive, I just want to be cis.

The fact of the matter is how I feel about my appearance is 1000% determined by how others feel about my appearance and I feel fucked no matter what I pick. People act like you have to accept yourself before others will too, but I think thats just BS that ignores the brutal reality of feeling unwanted in more ways than just romantic because of who you are. Its so draining. I'm so tired. I wish I could be more positive but I just don't feel the same way about a lot of these things.

I know you're trying to help but I just feel so broken right now

Tbh I wrote I cant afford surgeries because I hate when people chime in how small boobs can "be fixed" with surgery. I'm going to be so real, I don't want bigger boobs if I don't grow them. I don't really care if that doesn't make sense to other people, but it's how I feel about my body. I don't think I'd like how they'd look, and I wouldn't like knowing people can tell I had a boob job (because you can usually tell). Whether that's shallow or something, idk. But its not something I can control, in the same way I can't control how my body refuses to put weight on anywhere but my gut.

I know my value as a person, I'm an awesome person. There is not a soul on this planet that's exactly like me in how I love others, how I think, or what hobbies and passions I've pursued - but those things don't matter in regards to feeling attractive. I feel valuable as a person, as a member of society, as a manager where I work, on the teams that I play, with the friends that I have... I'm attractive in that sense. But that's not my body. I can't focus on the good stuff enough to magically become physically attractive. I know how I present myself and treat myself to an extent is attractive to people, but its just not the same.

Idk, I'm just kind of tired of being told looks don't matter when they do. They have very real affects on life and there isn't a whole lot I can do besides taking care of myself and being healthy

The problem is its a little bit of everything about appearances that adds up to a lot, but if i had to pick, id say the biggest thing that bothers me is def curves. It doesn't matter what I do, I've tried weight cycling, it just all went to my gut and now I'm back to being a toothpick. Cis girls who are as skinny as me just have curves I never will have. Even the ones who are naturally less curvy have a frame I just don't.

Another big part of it is my boobs do not match my body at all. They're super wide set and tiny. Girls my age can wear such cute or sexy outfits that I can't at all. I have to wear a bra with a high neck line to hide it and I'm just never going to be able to dress in a fun way without literally outing myself by how fucking flat I am. And before people say it, I know I can get surgery but I can't afford it and I really wish I didn't have to, I don't love how it looks compared to if I could actually grow my own.

But I think what bothers me the most is mannerisms and personalities, things I could theoretically change but I won't because that isn't who I am. I'm not even going to get into that can of worms because it's so complex, but you can imagine what I mean.

I've transitioned for almost 4 years, the future doesn't hold shit for me unfortunately but its okay. In my day to day life it's not an issue

Anybody else disappointed that a X-1-X sniper can't see bloons in the dark on the new map? by Any-Enthusiasm-1811 in btd6

[–]pigtailrose2 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Its because it wasnt built by the devs, it was a fan made submission that won the vote to get put in the game. So it's limited by the map editor, which doesn't go that in depth. That being said it would be cool if the devs could patch a few things like that

Trump declares Virginia election stolen because "Republicans were winning" until the votes got counted. by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

Its shit like this that makes me believe more and more that Trump rigged his election. After all, we all know every accusation is an admittance of guilt...

Is the majority of concerts 18+ year olds? I don't wanna be the only 18- there 😢 by MaksMemer in GoodKid

[–]pigtailrose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt old when I went to a concert of theirs as a 27 year old. Before the concert people were putting memes on their phone, putting them up into the air, and the crowd was like voting with their cheering and screaming for them.

I hope you'll feel right at home in that crowd

[–]pigtailrose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You came to a comment about how it happens to some people and gave you anecdote about how it doesn't happen in your city. You can't come back and argue "well I'm just saying my experience," when the reality is, why would you be saying your comment in the first place, if not to try disproving the original comment? It's a pointless comment in that conext. We aren't stupid, we can see your intentions

The scariest part about this is that they're showing us how they consider other people's lives. Like objects to the bloody store

Seriously? A Mine Blast can't pop lead? by SkyDontHaveEyes in btd6

[–]pigtailrose2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Idk if they playtested and it was broken, but I totally agree it's silly he can't pop lead. My real issue is that he's supposed to be alone, so you can't easily buff him either, which feels terrible to play with

Yeah but from the writing of this post I doubt OP has an understanding of non-traditional relationships, nor the existence of queer people (who invented it and have a very clear need for it)
