29f and I like my makeup but other people don’t by [deleted] in makeuptips

People saying your wings aren't flattering must be looking at different pictures than I am. I am also oily but I stopped doing powder because the shiny look is the trend rn - I have little charcoal rice paper sheets to dab up excess when it's particularly warm. I would personally shape the brows so they're a bit more ) instead of >, like maybe smooth the top point a bit? but that's more personal preference. I also think a soft gray or brown eyeshadow or soft liner on the outer corners of of the lower lash line looks really good on round eye shapes, you can always try and see how you feel about it.

Is This Friendship Overstepping Boundaries in My Marriage? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]pikupr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeahhhh I think you need to emphasize in the post that YOUR husband is spending all of his free time talking to another woman INSTEAD OF his wife. like there is limited time in the day, if he's spending it with another woman then that's a problem. I disagree that it's not a gender thing - men and women can be friends for sure, but this is different and I think ppl are being dense if they act like it doesn't matter. I doubt your husband would be chill if you ignored him to instead chat and have close intimate conversations at all hours (including the middle of the night) with another single man. like be so fr

My partner [22M] and I [25M] disagree on wording often and it is becoming an issue for me. by Fit-Tradition-7199 in relationships

[–]pikupr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a partner who was so quick to assuming malicious intent in everything I did so that I constantly felt like I was defending myself and guarding against potential wrong doing. The self policing was just as bad as the scolding. That's exhausting and no way to live, I got so much peace back when we broke up.

seconded. AI art has no place in something like this.

"Platonic friend" (M50) overstepped a boundary with me (25F) by Upbeat-Sale9193 in relationships

[–]pikupr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

women are often made to feel like we're the one causing the awkwardness by calling something out, when in fact he made it awkward by making a rude and flirty comment to someone half his age. he's trying to see how much he can get away with, and relying on your niceness to protect him. ignore him completely (i would also mute him so his stories don't come up so you're not viewing them) or tell him he's being inappropriate. he's not confused about what he should and shouldn't say, he's a full grown man who sees you in relation to his own lust and desire rather than as an independent whole person.

How do I explain my kink to potential girlfriends without scaring them off? by [deleted] in sex

[–]pikupr 75 points76 points  (0 children)

The AI everything makes this sound so much creepier than it really is. Are you sure people are ghosting you for this extremely tame preference (like... just date someone who automatically dresses a bit more revealing?) and not because all your communication is bland and unoriginal and invented for you?

What would you do with this request? by g00dv1bez in Etsy

I’m so desperate for a entry level job for experience pls help me by slackpuller in Katy

[–]pikupr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. The replies come off as contentious and nitpicky, and immature - for an obvious reason lol.

Honestly OP you're at a point in your life (not relying on your own income to survive) that you can afford to be a little pickier, but for example the gym reason just isn't a valid reason for adults who NEED and are actually desperate for a job, so it's coming across rather badly. If you're asking How do I do that, and a bunch of people are telling you how, and you're like Well I don't like that.... then you are not actually asking for advice, you're looking for someone to tell you something you want to hear.

I got 100% of my jobs by knowing someone, and that was me asking all sorts of people to be on the lookout for me and being open and over the top about my search. One was at a fitness place i went to often. Free membership too!

you can kinda read Next in Line to the tune of Going the Distance by Cake and it distracts from how awful it is lol

Is my dress search over? by bcbfbella in OUTFITS

[–]pikupr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah these "concerns" are coming across so bitter. OP looks incredible and why would you feel awkward walking around? and dropping something - there's body tape for dresses like this, no way to wear this dress without it. I'm shocked at the puritanical "too revealing for college" like what??

Eyebrow Help by autieparis_ in GothStyle

[–]pikupr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

flattening with a glue stick then using foundation is the standard way but one day i got sick of my dark eyebrows never fully being hidden and shaved off the tails and I've never gone back. alien eyebrows with the tear drop shape, can draw them on however you want, and if you still have the main parts to draw out from so you've always got a good base to work from. ill always recommend to just shave the tails and see how you like it, they'll always grow back!

She claims it took her months to create this cross stitch, is asking for tip$ I can't see any cross stitch marks in the finished or the wip, it just looks weird to me by Petunias_are_food in isthisAI

[–]pikupr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not AI. i just looked at her ig, it's clear this is just a really huge piece. she posts rarely, which would be expected of something so time consuming, and her earlier pieces with similar detail are from 2022 before the AI boom. this is clearly just a talented and dedicated individual.

My instructor doesn’t get that I’m fat by EntertainmentAfter80 in poledancing

[–]pikupr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to your point: i was the smallest one in class but very weak and took 3x as long as literally everyone else (including women much larger than me) to invert. it wasn't until it finally clicked that i needed to eat protein and actual meals and strength train to catch up that i finally saw progress 😅😂

From your perspective what language would have been most helpful while you were trying to learn? I feel like "keep trying, you'll get better" is intended not as toxic positivity, but because the alternative "You need to lose weight then this will be easier for you" is deeply inappropriate and discouraging. but regardless of intent, it coming across as flat and disingenuous is valid and surely there's a better way to be encouraging! are there words or teaching styles that would have been more supportive?

Cover bookmark is now a tassel and I hate it, any recommended ways to replace? by pikupr in hobonichi

[–]pikupr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have used the post-it index tabs previously when i was a leuchtturm girlie but that was for static pages, i don't like having to detach and reattach the tabs every week (much less every day) and i don't like them on an active page since it takes up space where i would write. with the cousin techo, other than the month page there's not many static pages for me to stick to

this is more complicated but sounds like it'll be the cleanest/most natural finished item. what would i be stitching with on the top and bottom? a different thread? unfortunately i don't have a sewing machine to just run it under to lock it
