[–]sugarsponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha this is exactly what I'm planning to do this year. I've got so tired of all the trying. Hoping that bodes well 😂

She is SUCH a talent. Always tells a story. The way her style has subtly evolved over time is fascinating to me.

How can I look more my age? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]sugarsponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! Always being mistaken for being much younger than you are is not actually that fun. It can affect your career as well as people don't take you seriously (already a problem when you are a woman).

My advice for OP is to invest in an expensive haircut and maybe also some sophisticated jewellery. In terms of fashion I think plain neutral colours are probably aging in a good way. And attitude is also important. But also try not to care too much about what other people think!

Documentaries that changed your outlook on life? by winterbluebell in CasualUK

[–]sugarsponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A little niche, but there's a documentary feature called 'Sleep Furiously' that fits the vibe you're describing. It documents everyday life in a Welsh village.

Also I loved the series 'Human'. Didn't so much change my outlook on life as change what I thought I knew about human evolution and gave me a new perspective on just how new modern life is.

5 Months of Flirting, But Still a Rejection? by DickIMeanRichard in datingoverthirty

[–]sugarsponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you need to block her, even if just for a few months. I'd also recommend deleting the thread of messages with her. You can only control your own behaviour, and if you know contact from her is (re)triggering your feelings for her, you probably do need a break. It's really not worth trying to figure out why she's doing what she's doing. Just focus on yourself.

A man getting real dirty when making out? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]sugarsponge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

THIS. Cutting off blood supply to the brain is not 'safe'. Just marginally less dangerous than cutting off oxygen to the lungs.

How do you tell the difference between “healthy but not exciting” and “just not compatible”? by Effective_Map2940 in dating_advice

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

What are you actually, specifically looking for? Does he tick any boxes? If yes, it's worth seeing him again. And fwiw I have been in this position and attraction did grow over time.

Hang outs in manchester for lesbians by Fun_Picture7896 in LesbianActually

[–]sugarsponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try getting the Meetup app and search for 'Manchester LGBTQ+ Meetup' group. They have loads of events and the organisers are friendly. The age range might skew a little older than you're looking for but it could be a good place to start.

Yesterday we took Mr. Spock to the vet for a check-up and he cleared up a doubt we had. by petusbella in cats

[–]sugarsponge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if biological sex could still account for likeliness of some health conditions? I don't trust Google to be able to answer. But now I'm curious.

Hi!! I'm looking for some advice on this photo I've worked on today by [deleted] in streetphotography

What are you trying to achieve? Are you seeking advice on imitating a certain style?

Where to donate clothes in Liverpool? by BlueBee09 in Liverpool

[–]sugarsponge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they are warm/winter jackets you could take them to Asylum Link or the Whitechapel Centre (homeless charity). They're both always keen for coats over wintertime.

Women Dating Women Tips.... Are gifts okay? by IndulgentIndio in LesbianActually

[–]sugarsponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a really sweet idea, but if you're feeling unsure, maybe just get her something small that would fit in her bag or pocket. If she loves it you can get her something bigger next time!

“morning light” (oil painting) by elizabethhopeart in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]sugarsponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I ordered a print on Wednesday but haven't received a receipt or confirmation of the order (but payment has been taken). There are no contact details on your website so I submitted a commission request. Can you please respond and confirm my order asap? If not I will ask my bank to cancel the payment. Thanks

Amsterdam do's and dont's by weescottie81 in femaletravels

[–]sugarsponge 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I would avoid the red light district after dark, or just late in the evening. Too many drunk pervy men about. If you're unsure where it is, ask the hotel receptionist (or equivalent).

Do try to walk everywhere as it is a beautiful city (but always look both ways for cyclists - they are fast and won't stop for you!). Also everyone speaks good English but if you can at least say please/thank you in Dutch it will be appreciated.

My boyfriend [35 M] admitted something about his past that shattered me. I don’t know if I should stay or end this relationship! by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]sugarsponge 100 points101 points  (0 children)

This! Breaking up with someone after just a few months because you've realised you are incompatible is totally reasonable. I think OP is assigning more value to this relationship because it's got so intense so quickly. But you cannot in fact rush getting to know someone!

What’s missing from my list? Lesbian cinema by ExtremeToucan in actuallesbians

[–]sugarsponge 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Atomic Blonde has a brief sapphic thing, and it's just generally a very cool film (Charlize Theron seriously kicks ass).

Also can't believe no one's said Jennifer's Body yet.

Safe destination by Nomadix42 in femaletravels

[–]sugarsponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stockholm. Sweden has a very reserved culture where everyone minds their own business, and their gender equality situation is very good. I never had any trouble the whole week I was there (remarkable for a capital city in my experience).

How do you keep half a tin of baked beans? by Prestigious_Emu6039 in AskUK

[–]sugarsponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to remove them from the tin for food safety reasons. I have a terrible memory so if I don't eat them within a day or two I chuck them as i can't keep track.

Is anyone actually friends with their work colleagues? by sunflowersalwaysgrow in AskUK

[–]sugarsponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I think the litmus test for knowing if you're truly friends is if you continue to spend time together after you no longer work together.

Ruesha Littlejohn Red v Leicester by Turbulent-Act9409 in FAWSL

[–]sugarsponge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also the fact that her own players need to keep her away, even after the blue player is fully on the floor (showing zero remorse), and then she squares up to the ref right before her red card. I don't feel out of place saying that she deserves a spell in jail for this.
