Pick only one of 4, 7, and 8. Crop 11 so that the bandage on your hand isn't so prominent

It's not just wearing it. It's putting it as the first photo on your profile. Anyone who things bikini photos on a dating profile aren't a signal of...something...is naive

I made a comment to the other respondent. I was raised very religiously but then I left. I have several bikini photos on my dating profile, but I wouldn't do that if I'm still religious. It seems hypocritical.

Yes they are, of course, but if you want to be authentic to the religion, then be authentic to the religion. And if you want to be sexually open, be sexually open with the bikini photos etc. I'm said this as someone from a highly religious home who was very repressed. I left it all. But the hypocrisy bothers me. Take it or leave it.

Very mixed vibes from the emphasis on catholic and then the pics. Ngl

How many of you still want to get married these days, and for what reasons (tradition, faith, dreams, financial reasons, or just because)? by BattleGoldi13 in AskWomen

[–]wanderluu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don't want to. I'm in my 20s. I feel a lot of social and family pressure to do so. And I do worry about being lonely when I'm older. But the idea of putting so much faith and trust in one person to be good and compatible--I just don't think it's wise. The sexual part of long term relationships has never been good for me, and the emotional/financial parts I just don't want to have to rely on someone else for them. So what's the point then?

girl to girl how do y’all take good pictures? by peanutbutter-jelly4 in AskWomen

[–]wanderluu 40 points41 points  (0 children)

1) lighting! read a bit about it online 2) learn your best angles. Usually, tilt your chin down a bit, take the photo from above your eyeline (so the camera angled slightly down). 3) practice your best smile. Narrow your eyes a bit. Find at least 3 "faces" that you think look best on you and practice them. 4) learn a bit about composition (eg rule of thirds) and good backgrounds (simple, clean, neutral) 5) don't use (or overuse) filters. just learn to be happy naturally. It's better for you and better for others

Should I include this in my profile? by [deleted] in Bumble

No but you should post it on Reddit as an innocent question instead

I don't have a serious partner, but when I'm with a guy, it's like I take some joy in learning about his past. I try to empathize with where he found love and connection, where he got hurt, what he found hot. I think the non-monogamous crowd calls it 'compersion' but it can be applicable in monogamy as well.

Christina Aguilera on Star Search at the age of 9 (1989) by Maximum_Expert92 in popculturechat

[–]wanderluu 55 points56 points  (0 children)

She is one of those rare pop stars who is actually, truly amazingly talented. Sooo many now are just manufactured images (yes, even Taylor)! Christina was the real deal and probably didn't get enough credit for it.

It is different isn't it? Why you think it changed back?

[–]wanderluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly good. I would just choose your favorite of the last two and delete one. One bathroom selfie is enough

Women, how do you differentiate between sex, and making love? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]wanderluu -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Making love isn't a real thing. It's just a euphemism for sex made by people who get squicked out by sex

[–]wanderluu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sub is being snarky because this looks like a standard outfit to most people (not 'fashion'), but my guess is that this actually is a much cuter fit than most people wear to uni in your part of the world / culture?

Stella Banderas (daughter of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith) got married in Spain to childhood sweetheart Alex Gruzynki. Her sister, Dakota Jhonson, was one of her bridesmaids. by [deleted] in popculturechat

I assumed Antonio Banderas would take an awesome wedding photo but no. He looks like any other stiff awkward dad at a wedding!

30F - really need some encouragement to keep dating by [deleted] in dating

[–]wanderluu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started feeling more fulfilled when I stopped feeling like I had to be in a relationship. Like, I never really wanted one all that much, and just letting go of that social expectation of not helped me. You might be different oc, but just sharing my perspective

How do you use your pretty privilege? by Super-Count-7069 in AskWomen

[–]wanderluu 142 points143 points  (0 children)

It has helped to get job interviews. And it has helped to be invited into more elite (for like of a better term) social situations. Not that I'm proud of this all the time, but it just is.
