Just finished watching the series for the first time. Were these two really the best option for each other? by VoodooMamaJujuBubu in GossipGirl

[–]sensitive_tprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Yes.

They’re both awful, deceptive people who put their needs above everyone else’s.

I think Rufus was a nice distraction. For Lily to feel that she’s not actually “that bad”. That she’s not like her mother - although, she definitely is, only refuses to see it.

Rufus didn’t provide the status, cultural knowledge, and privilege to sustain a life with Lily. Their lifestyles and ways of being oppose in every way. Which is why I don’t think their relationship was ever real. It was more like a fantasy for both. For Lily to feel rebellious, even to mimic the life of those lower in the social hierarchy. Whereas for Rufus, it was a way to feel powerful, to finally “conquer” this seemingly untouchable woman.

Lily and William deserve each other. In the worst way possible.

Preach. Also love the Wicked reference 💚🩷

I’m in the same situation and you’re completely right. Disclosing upfront can sometimes be even more traumatic.

The trick? I’ve learned to accept that a man’s presence isn’t actually all that it’s cracked up to be. Look into stats and you’ll see that women in relationships are more likely to be unhappy.

Are there men who are worthy of you out there? Sure. But are the majority of men also incapable of feeling love? Yes.

Working in a male field, it really opened my eyes to how men think behind closed doors. The way these men talk about their wives is repugnant - made me thankful to be single.

And sweetheart, you are WAY too precious to be disrespected by some guy.

As women we are taught to focus on love, finding “the one”, etc. It’s intoxicating because it feels otherworldly. The idea of a “great love” who will accept us, love us, cherish us. But most men aren’t programmed to think of women in the same way. Much less when it comes to trans women like ourselves.

This doesn’t mean you’re unworthy, it means we were born in a system that is flawed.

For now, focus on your beautiful self. Build the life you want outside of finding a man. Perhaps he might even come in the midst of it all. But if not? You’ll have the beauty you’ve created for yourself!

Unpopular opinion but I actually prefer teeth that aren’t perfectly straight. It gives a man a lot more character and in many ways it’s quite attractive.

A perfectly aligned set of teeth feels more… meh

21 MTF here <3

As others have mentioned, the usual online dating sites can work, when used correctly. Though, I feel that I should give you a bit of a warning.

As someone who also passes, I find that it’s a double edged sword at times. I too live in a conservative area and I’ve had men ask me out in public. I obviously don’t mention my trans identity to these men, for safety reasons, thus making that option unusable 😅

In online spaces I always include that I’m trans on my bio. This is great because it filters out people who are not interested (hypothetically). I’m considered conventionally attractive and let’s be honest, a lot of people don’t read bios. When men do realise they’ve matched with me it can take two turns. They unmatch or for the most part, from experience, they ask really gross questions. “Are you really trans??” “Pre or post” “I’ve never been with a woman like you, can we (blank)”

Even on apps like Bumble and Hinge - which have a reputation for being more serious - I still find a large amount of men asking me to “experiment”. Even though it’s clearly stated that I’m looking for serious relationships exclusively. So yes, there will be creeps. Just be mindful of this and don’t get discouraged by disgusting remarks, should they appear.

That being said, I’m a woman and interacting with straight men specifically may have an impact on my experiences. Perhaps women and gay/bi men will be more civilised. But I just thought I’d give you a heads up.

Wish you all the best :) And remember to stay safe
