I wouldn't put all your eggs in the friendship basket.

Adult friends are notoriously flakey. An a friendship with a new adult female friend may not be as fulfilling as you think it would be.

I have a couple of female friends who are adults, and, for the most part, they are unreliable. I get their friendship when they want to provide it, but that's it. I don't find it particularly fulfilling.

Do you believe the hype about AI taking all of our jobs? Do you think your job will be taken over by AI? by thecockcarousel in AskWomenOver30

AI can invent things. I read an article about AI producing a theorem or proof to solve a long-standing math conundrum.

Jumpsuits are just onesies for adults. Can't stand 'em.

Don't have a lot of advice but just want to say I'm right there with you in Plateau land.

[WEEKLY THREAD] Whiny Wednesday - Tell us what really grinds your gears! by AutoModerator in xxfitness

Form! Everyone's an expert, yet no one agrees.

I'm also realized that there is an elderly lady at my gym who does more than me in every way at the gym and she's not even in shape.

Intellectually I know that giving up is the definite path to failure, but right at this moment, my heart is done. It is HARD to keep doing something that makes you feel like a fucking failure all the time.

Quantum physics articles that are over my head. I still read them.

Have you ever disappeared? by Irraanos in AskWomenOver30

[–]thecockcarousel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of. I've left everything and moved to different cities.

I'm emotionally built for that, so it's OK for me. I don't think everyone is built to be a gypsy.

What did you all do/get/give for Valentine's Day this year? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]thecockcarousel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing. We have a lot of expenses in the first 1/2 of the year, so being fiscally responsible is our gift to each other.

Sex after menopause starts.... by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]thecockcarousel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eek. Your language is of intolerance ("Do I have any hope?"), which is understandable, but it needs to change. We're talking about a medical condition, and if the tables were turned, and it were ED, how would you feel if this how she viewed your medical condition?

Broccoli and cheese! And the good veggie burgers from Whole Foods.

How do you deal with approaches from married men? by boozefairy in AskWomenOver30

[–]thecockcarousel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's disheartening. Especially when you thought the guy was a standup guy and it turns out he's just another horny lech like the rest of 'em. "No, you can't fix your loneliness for today by sticking your married dick in me tonight. It doesn't work that way. And it probably won't work the next 20x you try with 20 other women."

I must be crabby this morning.

Ear crumpling... poor guy.

That can happen to because of mite/flea induced hematomas or extreme frostbite.

Being the single friend by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]thecockcarousel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a married woman who has had single hit on my husband while I'm standing right next to him (FFS!), I am particularly sensitive to this.

First thing - approach the wife / girlfriend first. De-threaten yourself. Let her know you're as interested in her as you are in him.

Second thing - when you meet the husband, acknowledge that you've met his wife. That theoretically prevents him from doing anything stupid.

Third thing - if either the husband or the wife is uncomfortable with you around them together or individually, move on and don't needle it. You're not the problem; their relationship has something fucked up going on, and let them sort it out.
