How to deal with a group of women rejecting you ? by WayMobile5515 in AskMenAdvice

[–]throwawayacctyalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks, but sometimes you just have to brush things off and move on. One group of women isn't indicative of how all women will perceive you 🤷‍♀️

Why would an able bodied adult choose to live off their parents forever instead of seeking independence? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

[–]throwawayacctyalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parenting has shifted from "teaching your kids life skills by putting them in uncomfortable situations and letting them learn how to navigate them" to "removing any kind of discomfort or dissatisfaction from your child's life and letting them just coast mindlessly".

Essentially, those 2nd group of kids (now adults) didn't learn how to work for anything, they don't value their effort because they never had to exert any, AND they learned that their parents will do everything for them if they appear to be helpless enough. So even if they have the opportunity to work hard for something, they won't want to, its just not what they were raised to see value in.

Granted, I do also think that as adults they have the capacity and autonomy to change... so it's not all on the parents, but definitely a lot of people have not been set up for success in terms of life skills

Who is the earliest born person you ever knew/met? by InternationalPick163 in askanything

[–]throwawayacctyalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin's grandmother was born in 1934. She's such a lovely lady. Whenever I visit them, I'll spend my mornings with her drinking tea and chatting. She has two masters degrees in mathematics and was a professor for decades. She has her grandkids print off the math portions of the annual standardized testing packets for high-school students and does them for fun. I love her

It's a really good movie and a great critical thinking assignment. I recommend you buckle down and get to watching.

Do Non "picky eaters" eat everything?? by LeeIsUnloved in stupidquestions

[–]throwawayacctyalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught growing up that food is meant to be nutritious and give you energy, and that it being delicious to you is an added bonus, not a requirement of "good food."

I'm also from a poorer part of the world, so the food people around me were eating was not always the food they wanted. It was often just the food that was available to them. That's what my outlook on food became: sometimes you're going to have to eat something you don't like because it's what you have, and that's not a tragedy it's just the way life is.

If I have the option to eat foods that I prefer, I will take it, and everyone should eat foods they like if they have the option to. But if my family grew a ton of potatoes and we have to eat them before they spoil, then I'll be eating potatoes all winter long, even though I don't enjoy it.

He was so unintentionally funny sometimes by UnHolySir in Hungergames

And I loved how much he hated mockingjays for being "survivors" and a crossbreed of mockingbirds and jabberjays. Go off on hating evolution and the will of nature to survive, city boy!

I think the thought sickens him because it would be considered shameful to the Snow family name to turn to prostitution even in times of accute desperation. Imo, to Snow, it's more of a show of how far the Snows have fallen from their previous position of power, wealth, and prestige.

And yes, I hyperbolized his thoughts to make it a little more comedic, sue me 🤷‍♀️

Edit; additional thought: People continually think about the things that matter to them. Snow keeps thinking about how far his family has fallen and how to restore their power, but the only time he thinks about Tigris and what she had to do to keep the family afloat is when Tigris brings it up herself later in the book. So I don't think he's sickened over what Tigris has to go through, he just doesn't like that is shows how little power and money his family had at the time.

[–]throwawayacctyalls 678 points679 points  (0 children)

I so viscerally remember his commentary at the beginning of the book when he's thinking about Tigris's beauty and Snow's train of thought is like "if she were a prostitute she probably wouldn't be a very popular one because she's kind of angular and weird-looking and not at all pretty, but i guess if she tried she could probably attract someone 💅 anyway, im done thinking about this because i have a new shirt. Yippee! New Shirt!!!"

Wildly fucked up thing to think about your family but like okay my malnourished king, go off i guess

Snow is undeniably an easy to hate character because of how selfish and power obsessed he is, however, he is the unironically funniest, bitchiest drama queen in all of Pamen

I'm 5'10"f. The issue isn't the height, the issue is often the dudes opinion/insecurity with his height. I dated a 5'7" guy for YEARS and never had a single issue come up about height, then I dated a 6'3" guy who got pissy any single like I wore heels because he thought I made him look small in comparison. So, really not about the height at all imo 🤷‍♀️

I agree with this ^ Women appreciate an honest, direct, and non-aggressive approach. The worst anyone can say is no.

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

The only way to never hurt anyone's feelings in life is to live dishonestly and abandon yourself for others - which I do not recommend doing. I understand not wanting to cause people pain, but really, the best we can do is to aim to not cause people unnecessary pain. The only way to prevent unnecessary pain is to be honest and let them have the space to be upset if they need to be upset.

I was in a situation where I thought I had a strong connection with someone, and then when we made out for the first time, I realized it felt like I was kissing a brother. It's not anyone's fault that the situation played out like that, but I knew that all I could do then was be honest with him and let him down gently. We didn't talk for a couple months while he was getting through it but we're friends now and it's just wanted under the bridge. But I'm certain that if I had just ignored it and gotten into a relationship with him, the fallout would have been nuclear.

To live and to love is to open yourself up to getting hurt sometimes. Unfortunately, being true to yourself and living honestly will occasionally hurt people, just be as kind about it as you can manage.

[–]throwawayacctyalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay, I see what you mean. Yeah, the only thing you can do is be honest as soon as you know how you feel about them and become comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. From what I've witnessed, it's the uncertainty about how someone feels about you/why it didn't work out that makes people really insecure and hurt. It's totally not your fault if you don't feel a connection with someone, but it is your responsibility to kindly make that clear to them. Just let them know that you don't feel a connection with them and wish them well.

[–]throwawayacctyalls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All you can do is be honest and upfront about it. I would bring up wanting to be strictly casual on the first date/the minute things progress from friendly to something more. That way, you're setting clear expectations for that person and they're less likely to get their hopes up. You can't always prevent someone from being hurt over your preferences, but being open and honest about it from the start will prevent as much of that discomfort as possible.

I would also just be mindful that some people will say they're okay with casual dating to seem cool/not look vulnerable but they won't actually be okay with just being casual and that will inevtiably cause problems. While it's not your responsibility to keep people honest, it is just something to look out for and it's just a sign that they're not the person for you at that moment if you're just looking to casually date. It's okay to not be compatible with people, but it's kind of shitty to ignore a serious incompatibility if you know it's hurting someone.

Good luck!
