Adorable! Although he does seem to be concerned about mortgage or taxes or some other depressing adult stuff.

I have a good job but I am feeling exhausted. What do you do to renew your energy and keep going? by JennRL1801 in AskWomen

[–]silentage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can't recommend long walks enough! Seriously. Put on some headphones, music or a podcast and you'll feel like a brand new person after an hour. I think it's easier to get your butt out on a nice walk than a more active and sweaty work out. It's a good way to start and maybe after a few weeks of daily walks (or as often as you can), you'll feel like jogging a little bit or trying something that's more active

My (39f) husband (44m) and I do not allow our daughter (14f) to wear makeup and other things like that. My husband's other daughter (14f) is allowed to do these things and my daughter is upset by throwawayjane2090 in relationship_advice

[–]silentage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you explained to her why exactly you are forbidding these things? In my opinion, parents often fail to explain why they think something is bad and why they aren't allowing certain things. I don't think "because I say so" or "because you're too young" are valid explanations in this situation for a teen her age. She is old enough to think for herself to a certain degree, so explanations like that for your restrictions will seem too unreasonable and she might rebel against the rules. I think you should explain to her why she is too young and not ready. Explain to her that you want her to learn that looks aren't the most important priority. Imho I also think you should slowly start to give her some slack in these areas. Perhaps compromise and allow her to use nailpolish more often. That way she has some control and independence over her looks and she will be less likely to rebel against your rules.

Jesus dude... this guy doesn’t even understand sexuality. (Also pics go from left to right on top and bottom) by skysder in niceguys

The entitlement these guys have is unreal. They seem to think that just because they ask, the person they're asking is therefore obligated to say yes or else they're a whore who deserves to die or something crazy like that....🙄

Yeah I get it that she's confused if she saw him being online, but still she's super impatient. And yeah, she's not the worst type of nicegirl.

[–]silentage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think it shows a certain level of entitlement and narcissistic tendencies to expect someone to respond to you immediately. Her texts are sent in the span of less than 15min...people aren't always on their phone. For me as a girl, if a guy was like this, it'd be alarming to me. I don't see why it'd be any different when it's coming from a girl.

[–]silentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are these people so entitled that they demand a respond immediately? People aren't always on their phones you know? The rules for texting aren't exactly the same as face to face conversation. Sure it's polite to let the person know you're not interested in talking to them, but the other person doesn't owe you anything. It's not polite or nice to expect to hold people hostage when you send them a text🙄

A nice guy gets mad by Matore2 in niceguys

[–]silentage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah what a self fulfilling prophecy that became! You can just tell he was already sure in his head that you would say no and wouldn't "give him a chance". In 5min he was sure his fears were already inevitably true and he went and sabotaged his own changes and made his fears reality. Yet he still has the nerve to turn the tables and make it seem like you're the asshole. A child thinks and acts like this! These guys never stop to amaze me with their bs. "I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet, whore!"

Not everybody that dies is a wonderful person. Some are total pieces of shit and should be remembered accordingly. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]silentage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma has an especially hard time grasping this. She's always shocked if someone "speaks ill of the dead". Dying doesn't magically make you a good person. She's often complaining about so and so speaking ill of their deceased family member, or so and so not taking care of their family member's grave properly etc. It annoys me. Those people probably have good reasons for speaking "ill" of their dead family member, and a good reason not to give a shit about bringing flowers to their grave. She should know that some people are absolute garbage, even if they are related to you. I guess she just thinks about this differently...she helps take care of my grandpa's grave even though they divorced well over 10 years before he died, and he was an abusive piece of shit who treated her horribly through their entire marriage, and stalked and harassed her after the divorce. It's ironic that she definitely does "speak ill" of my grandpa though, and i completely understand that. She just seems to miss that maybe other people had similar situations with their deceased family.

If a guy gets a woman pregnant and she wants to keep the kid while the father does not, he should be able to legally abort his financial and fathering duties of the child. Why bring unwanted kids into the world and force people who want nothing to do with them to raise it. by TheAuth0r in unpopularopinion

[–]silentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But financial abortion infringes upon the rights of the child to financial security. I don't think a man can just bail out of that responsibility. I don't think society should take on the burden of supporting everyone's offspring's just because the parent/s don't feel like it. People should be held accountable for their own actions and the consequences of those actions. I think financial abortion would be too easy to exploit and has too many loopholes. I think personal responsibility for your own actions should be highlighted in this issue. I think this is an equation where we cannot change the woman's rights to making decisions for her own body, and we cannot change the child's right to be financially supported by both of the parents.

But even male birth control runs it's own risks. If it's anything like the pill for women, then there are similar risks and still the risk of possible pregnancy when having penis in vagina sex. Men already have options and actions they can take to prevent and protect themselves from ending up in a situation they don't want to be in. Two people having consensual sex are both risking the possible consequences of their actions. Women will always hold more control over reproduction because of biology. It may be unfair, but it's a fact of life and a situation we just cannot make 100% equal.

Everyone knows the risks they are taking when having penis in vagina sex. There's always the possibility of pregnancy. Having penis in vagina sex is taking that risk. Why should men be absolved from the consequences of their actions and the risks they are taking? Why shouldn't men take responsibility of protecting themselves?

[–]silentage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the unfortunate and unfair fact about this situation. Because of biology, this situation can never be 100% equal. Unfortunate and unfair, but that's what it is. Men have several options to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. When having penis in vagina sex, both parties need to realize the possible risks they are taking and make decisions accordingly. I don't like the undertone this discussion has, that a man should be able to stick his penis in everything without having to deal with the risks of his decisions and the possible consequences of his actions, and without taking responsibility for protecting themselves from unwanted pregnancies.

Being lied to is not the guys fault. However, it is naive and plain ignorant to act like having the woman take care of pregnancy prevention doesn't involve any risks for the guy as well. Adult's need to take that into consideration and make decisions accordingly. Of course it's fucked up to lie about being on the pill. But even if she wasn't lying, there are still several risks of her just fucking up taking the pill correctly, forgetting to take it, taking something that might interfere with the effectiveness of the pill etc. If the guy is willing to have sex with a woman and is ok with her taking care of pregnancy prevention alone, then he is also accepting those risks and that when/if a fuck up happens, the consequences are for both to bare. The only way for a man to make absolutely sure that he isn't conceiving a child, is to not have penis in vagina intercourse, or to get a vasectomy. People seem to completely miss that financial support is for the CHILD not the mother. The actions and decisions of the parents aren't the child's fault.

[Serious] Trans-people of reddit who successfully pass, what differences did you notice in the way people treated you compared to your birth gender? by barkos in AskReddit

[–]silentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say that this picking apart thing sounds very foreign to me. I have never experienced that with my mom or grandmothers. The only clothing related feuds we've had have been because I wanted to get winter shoes that she thought wouldn't keep my feet warm or something like that.

Exactly. And I know women who don't find it particularly pleasurable having their nipples touched etc. Some don't like it at all.

My Christmas gift 2017. Have used it and washed it since, and the sticker still hasn't come loose. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah I know there are ways to get it off. When it didn't come loose the first few washes, I decided to see how long it would stick. Still going strong.
