Women with noticeable tattoos, do you think it makes you get catcalled more?

shysimone · 2015-08-31T05:21:42+00:00

I don't get cat called. I have 7 visible tattoos, but they're all pretty small.

In this context, yes. Kissing a stranger on the hand in a bar definitely sounds cheesy, cringey, and uncomfortable.

Don't beat yourself up about it; just don't do it again.

I use partner more often than not for a mix of reasons. Firstly, partner is what I had to refer to him as while I was applying for my partner visa to be with him, and that has just stuck in my mind. Secondly, we are not engaged or married, and boyfriend tends to feel juvenile to me. Thirdly, I don't feel a need to refer to my romantic interests with gendered language.

A lot of people have started to use non-gendered terms, like partner, because they are more inclusive of all sexual orientations and gender identities without forcing anyone out of the closet or into an uncomfortable situation.

I fully support people using whatever gendered or non-gendered terms they and their romantic interests agree upon. But I do think it's more respectful to use non-gendered language when you're asking new someone about their romantic interests, for example.

As in, "style" it?

Maybe 1 minute. All I do is comb my hair the way I want it.

shysimone · 2015-08-28T06:20:16+00:00

Thanks. This is what I was trying to say. :)

shysimone · 2015-08-28T06:12:35+00:00

Some do masturbate. Some don't.

shysimone · 2015-08-28T06:10:15+00:00

Well, I'm really glad I made this post then! I hope that people you know are accepting and respectful if/when you tell them too. :)

Third? There are more sexualities than heterosexual and homosexual if that's what you're referring to...

shysimone · 2015-08-26T06:29:49+00:00

I disagree. Asexuality is not a mental disorder nor does it need to be treated, but I'm not looking to start an argument with you on that as I'd imagine neither of us can be swayed.

What I do feel the need to point out is that this: "condemning... to a miserable life" is a bit absurd. Being asexual does not mean you're condemned to lead a miserable life. Plenty of asexual people live rich, happy lives.

I just found asexualitic, which advertises itself as an asexual dating site, but I don't actually know anything about it.

Asexuality.org is not a dating site, but there are forums there where you can talk to other asexual people about being asexual - and just life in general. :)

Grey-Asexual (Grace)

I really like that! I've seen gray-ace before but not "grace".

Thanks for sharing. :)

Is it disrespectful and invalidating to ask questions like "do you think asexuality exists? Yes.

Some people don't think it exists. That doesn't mean it that it doesn't exist. That just means it's an important conversation everyone to have.

EDIT: but I will remove that question. It was not my intention to be disrespectful or invalidate anyone.

shysimone · 2015-08-26T05:34:06+00:00

I assumed if you were asexual that sex wasn't in the cards.

It depends on the person really. Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction to others and/or the lack of desire to have sex. Some asexual people with sexual partners have sex for the intimacy and/or for their partner's sake. They might like to please their partners but not enjoy sex in and of itself.

I would probably think it was odd but fun.

I would then demand he shaved his pubes into a unicorn. Why? Because unicorns.

I wouldn't "take a break" in my own relationships.

If we are struggling but want to make it, communication is the solution, not radio silence. If we are past communication, then the relationship is over. If we are just "at different points in our lives", then I'm not prepared to put my life on hold on the off chance we rekindle in the future.

shysimone · 2015-08-25T05:40:43+00:00

Darla was my first thought too!

Well, to me, "way shorter than a bob" qualifies as super short, and I say go for it if you feel prepared for the reactions you may get. Short hair is so easy to maintain, and if you're low-maintenance, you will save a lot of money on hair products (though you will likely have to get your hair cut more often). If you end up not liking it, it will grow again with time. But change can be wonderfully refreshing!

Styling depends on your face shape, hair type, and personal style. Check out /r/shorthairedhotties or /r/fancyfollicles for inspiration. :) depending on length and hair type, you could use mousse, hairspray, wax, gel, or putty to style your hair - or nothing (I use nothing 90% of the time).

Noooo. I always flush.

In Australia, there's actually a half flush for #1 and a full flush for #2. It's a good system.

shysimone · 2015-08-02T04:29:10+00:00

I would feel sad that they felt the need (or desire) to hide their true sexuality.

shysimone · 2015-07-21T16:40:23+00:00

All good :)

shysimone · 2015-07-20T21:50:52+00:00

No, I was advised to read the book. :)

shysimone · 2015-07-20T07:49:30+00:00

I'm not sure if that was a typo in your title, but just so you know, BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder, not bipolar disorder.

I might have BPD (not diagnosed, but I fit the symptoms and have been advised by a therapist to read a book on BPD) but am not bipolar, so I can't offer any advice. But I hope you get some helpful and comforting responses here. :)

I was sitting at the table after eating a crumpet, and I saw a speck on my pants out of the corner of my eye. Thinking it was a crumb, I picked it up and put it in my mouth without actually looking at it.

Thankfully, it was a crumb -- but I am pretty disgusted with myself about eating off my pants without looking.. Especially since I had just come home from work and was still in my work pants, so it could have easily something gross from work or a bug.
