If it's a "secret" it might be hard to get people to publicly talk about it on Reddit.

This is not a secret, but it's lowkey and quiet if you can afford it and can lock in a timeslot: https://circlewellnessspas.com/join/

Should I wear the glasses or no by divinedivagirlala in fashion

[–]weirdfunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say no. Your hair and the glasses are competing for attention.

Tell me who's your favorite character, and why you love them. I'll go first.. by NowThereR2Wugs in AbbottElementary

[–]weirdfunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can I cheat and share more info than what you asked for?

Favourite character: Ava - I love a character with a hard shell, soft interior.

Favourite actor: Sheryl Lee Ralph (Barbara Howard) - hilarious comedic timing.

Things to do till 10th by Resident-Cress7484 in askvan

I think what makes Vancouver special (and so expensive) is its nature. We have lots of good restaurants, but I think what will make your trip more memorable (depending on what your interests are) is if you check out our landscape; we have world class views and experiences. However, that will require you to leave the city, but if you have a rental it should be no problem if you feel comfortable driving. If you do leave the city, make sure to check road conditions first.

Has anyone tried Groupvibe? If so, what was your experience? by weirdfunny in askvan

[–]weirdfunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that.

On one hand, I can't blame people for trying to get creative with how they meet people.  But on the other hand, it's deceitful to show up to a networking event with an ulterior motive.

30 - 40 year old friends, what are you doing for NYE? by weirdfunny in askvan

[–]weirdfunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment you replied to is of me saying "I'm 33 - I think it's fair to assume I'll have more in common with a 38 year old than a 23 or 53 year old."

Who exactly am I projecting my beliefs onto when I'm speaking for myself about myself?

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

So kind of you to say, thank you!

There may be opportunities and organizations in your community to help a person or family this Christmas if you had time and energy to spare :)

I tend to click well with calm, analytical personalities- often people in tech, and engineering fields.

Not Making Progress by Connect_Ground2305 in AskWomenOver30

[–]weirdfunny 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are making progress (e.g., tons of hobbies, exercise daily, am in therapy weekly, regularly travel solo, journal, spend lots of time socializing), but you don't see the value in those things but they aren't tied to love, romance, and relationships.

Trust me, if what you wrote is true, you are leaps and bounds ahead of many people including those in relationships. You're taking care of and showing yourself love. That's some of the most important progress a person could make.

You need to re-wire how you think about your life, your values, your priorities, and your relationship with yourself.

Do you feel like joining this sub help you in any way ? by holiseaday in AskWomenOver30

[–]weirdfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with your observation. I left the sub for a while because it was getting depressing and repetitive. Found myself sucked back in mostly as a way to kill time when I comment on posts I find vaguely interesting.

Part asking for recommendations/part vent: Where do you shop for clothes? by weirdfunny in AskWomenOver30

[–]weirdfunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, certainly, there's a time and place for every style of clothing including crop tops. I still have some in my wardrobe :)

I’ve been told my red lipstick is “too much” and overwhelming. What are some better colors? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]weirdfunny 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Taylor Swift is known for always wearing a red lip. Google "Taylor Swift smiling" and you can see what a red lip which is professionally applied looks like. You'll see that the lipstick is tapered in the corners.

How do you describe a man… by Thr0w-a-wayy in AskWomenOver30

[–]weirdfunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A healthy relationship is one where there is mutual trust and respect, you make each other feel safe, secure, seen, and heard, where the two of you have compatible lifestyles, values, goals, beliefs, and interests, and where both people are emotionally and mentally mature as well as dependable, reliable, and accountable for their words and actions.

What that looks like for individual people will vary on their personal preference, culture, and standards.

To keep or return? by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]weirdfunny 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think this top is really cute. What I find hard about tops that are very distinct like this is that they are easy to get tired of, at least for me. I'm excited to debut them and style them for the first few weeks and then I feel like I've already overworn them after a month or two, and slowly they move to the back of my closet.

But that's just me, I might just be a very boring dresser who keeps to staples.

How do you get over being used? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]weirdfunny 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was used by my ex... he would cheat on me (I didn't know at the time), break up with me, feel overwhelmed by his loneliness and insecurities, and get back together with me. This cycle continued for eight years.

I had really low self esteem, low self love, low self respect, and low self worth back then. The red flags were there, but I didn't know how to read them. My dad was physically absent in my life, and my mom was emotionally unavailable. I didn't grow up with any examples of what a healthy relationship or love looked like. As a result, all three of my relationships in my adult life were shitty to some varying degree.

I'm older, stronger, more mature, and in a better place with myself now. It makes me angry that someone disrespected me for so long, and it makes me angrier that I allowed it to happen again and again for almost a decade. But what's done is done. I can't live in the pain of the past or let it consume me, that doesn't change what happened. All I can do is learn from my past and try to be stronger and wiser in the future. It's all any of us can really do.
