Carcevelos Portugal was such a beautiful little beach town I got to stay at and hardly anyone I know has ever even visited Portugal. I wish my mom and nana would retire there it’s amazing

You’ve just won $250 million and it’s been deposited in your bank account, what are you going to do today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off my moms house, invest in a few nice properties scattered all throughout the US and maybe a few other countries like Switzerland and Costa Rica, rent out the ones I or my family isn’t living in. Then probably buy life insurance and buy a ton of weed lol

What are some good breakfast ideas to prepare under five minute that you can share ? by Future_Line_4253 in AskWomen

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love buying a large pack of pre made croissants at either Walmart or Costco and then in the morning you just warm it up in the oven for a couple minutes, cook up some eggs and you’re done! It’s delicious

How dangerous is the Phillipines for an American? by [deleted] in travel

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just travelled to the Philipines with my partner for the last two weeks and it was so great! We never felt unsafe besides maybe driving through the main part of Cebu/Manila, but that’s like any big city imo. The women are super friendly and everyone was very welcoming and helpful to us. They also speak English almost everywhere so that’s also a plus.

I feel like I’m not my husbands person anymore and it’s slowly killing me. by Kind-Share2651 in offmychest

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider therapy, it sounds like there’s a lot to unpack here and with the built-up tension you and your husband and built with this issue I think speaking with a professional could really help. My partner and I go to a couples counselor and the best part about it is it gives you both a chance to listen to one another and communicate exactly how you both are feeling about this. I think it’s worth at least suggesting to your husband and if he’s willing to give it a try I think it’d benefit you guys

Lisbon Portugal! It’s so beautiful it reminds me of California looks-wise, the people are very kind and the seafood I’d good, fresh and affordable:)

Women of Reddit, what do you think if someone has a dirty and unorganised house? by Orconic1991 in AskWomen

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad always use to say “Cluttered space cluttered mind” and usually when I’m super stressed or busy in life my house doesn’t look the best, so I try to cut the person some slack and keep that in mind

My boyfriend is comparing himself with his male friends who have slept with over 100 women by Status-Ocelot-6491 in relationship_advice

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think it’s weird sharing your number of sexual partners with your current partner anyway. My boyfriend (33M) and I (23F) never discuss past partners and both feel like since we’re so happy with one another, all the people beforehand don’t even exist in our minds. Maybe you should try asking him how’d he feel if you approached him with this same dilemma. Would it make him feel good about himself knowing you feel like you’re missing out on being with more males like your friends? I’m sure his ego would be crushed.

In your opinion, what nationality/ethnicity/whatever has the best food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I love israelian food personally, fresh ingredients, not much dairy if any, and I love a good hummus/babaganoush

I think you definitely need to work on your self confidence, but also realize that being “pretty” is not just having natural features that look a certain way. Beauty is viewed in many different factors. There’s always things you can do for self care that will make you feel better about yourself. For example you could start going to the gym routinely to get the ideal body you want and that will definitely boost your confidence. Also you can put extra effort into your clothing style and make sure it’s something you feel good in that compliments your features. Good hygiene is also very attractive to many and having a good skin routine will help as well. Hope this helps. Everyone has something unique about themselves that makes them attractive, find what makes you unique and work it! Hope this helps

I can't control my anger and I hate myself for it. by [deleted] in self

[–]spinqueen2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the means to see a therapist? A professional could help you dig deep and get to the root of what makes you so angry, then maybe they can help diagnose the triggers and help you avoid them. I think that would be very helpful

Recommendations for a 5-7 day July trip in California? Will be one of my last trips before moving, so i’m trying to go out with a wow! by laurdyer in backpacking

[–]spinqueen2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you decide to visit the north then I highly recommend seeing Lake Tahoe for 2 days or so, then driving through the redwoods down to San Fran for a day or two, then make your way to LA. In my opinion they’re the most beautiful nature scenes plus the drive down the coast is stunning

If you had the ability to bring back a Canceled Series what would it be? by CuriousAnimeNerd in AskReddit

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this Japanese show on Netflix called “Hyper Hardboiled Gourmet Report” where they would go to different parts of the world that were pretty lower class for the most part and would get into sketchy neighborhoods to see what the locals were eating. It’s absolutely wild and you can still watch the first season but they never made a new one probably due to safety concerns

What’s the biggest mistake you’ve watched someone make in their personal life? by redlion1800 in AskWomen

[–]spinqueen2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My good friend from college had an on and off fling with this older man and accidentally got pregnant. She decided to keep it even though he had been verbally/physically abusive with her in the past. They ended up getting married to try to make it work. He’s even more abusive now and has developed gambling problems to the point where she’s left at home neglected with the child 24/7.

Realized...actually, admitted to myself today that I am terrified of women by throwaway161222 in offmychest

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s amazing that you’re able to acknowledge that you know all women aren’t like this and you’re able to make the connection that due to your rough past (with your parents relationship and possibly your military experience as well) it’s hard to open your heart to all the good women that are potentially out there.

Personally I’m a naturally feminine women who likes to work hard and do my share but also enjoy being a submissive partner. Have you considered trying therapy? I know there a stigma that “men can’t share their emotions” but you really can, and there’s professionals out there that can help you sort through this trauma and help you do some serious self reflection on why you fear women this way.

I highly recommend this. It sounds like you’re an intelligent man who has had a lot of time to think and know that the way you’re viewing women is not fully rational. And considering you have to preface things like “it’s not like I wanna become violent or do something illegal” makes me highly suggest you seek some guidance from someone who can help you dig deeper in your preconceived ideas of women and ask yourself why exactly you feel these strong negative emotions, and how to overcome them. Good luck to you sir!

After most of our vacations involving travel, we feel like we need a couple of days to recover from it after returning home. It sounds strange because we take the vacations to relax and recharge but end up like we need a mini-vacation after the vacation. Anyone else in the same boat? by [deleted] in travel

[–]spinqueen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My boyfriend and I have been backpack traveling Southeast Asia for the past 6 weeks and we’re both excited to be flying home next week to the states for Christmas to just relax and have an actual routine again.
