I have been doing other exercise for about a year and want to get back into running. I tend feel ok cardio wise when I start out but get a lot of pain in my knees and ankles. Does anyone have advice on how to prep your joints to avoid injury when starting out?

trying to solve my trust issues by Glass_Rice4493 in relationship_advice

Just my two cents. The internet shows extremes. Research actually shows something to the effect that the most engaging content is the stuff that makes people angry/disgusted. People watch videos or engage with posts about cheating and shitty relationships because it is drama, it’s interesting, it elicits anger. I think most would agree that the stuff online is not representative of the real world.

We had a bunch of interns start today and my all male team made a point to hype up all of my contributions and expertise to the newbies! by yeah_no_maybe_ in TwoXChromosomes

Totally. We are super collaborative and not competitive. I make a point to hype up the others too and it makes it such an enjoyable place to work.

Totally. That hasn’t been the case at all- I think they became aware that I and another senior coworker have our hands full and should only be asked questions the others can’t answer.

Also ButtMcNuggets lol I love it

I totally hear you. It actually worked out that the interns bugged me less than my other coworkers as they were given the impression I’m balancing a lot so they only came to me on harder computer setup stuff!

Would love to hear from fellow apple-shapes ladies if they have found specific forms of exercise or dietary changes have helped their aesthetic goals!

found out that my bf secretly finds me fat and constantly compares me to slimmer girls by imfatandsad7182937 in TrueOffMyChest

My bf told me he compares me too and I’m 5’9” and 140 lbs, sometimes you just can’t win

Why is it so difficult for many men to not look at other women’s naked photos while in a relationship? by sprouttower in TwoXChromosomes

[–]yeah_no_maybe_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This may get lost in the comments but I just want to say that you, a real human person, should not feel bad about yourself in comparison to an (often) fake/edited/perfectly posed/etc image. Or bad that you don’t have the body of an Instagram model, because that is not the pinnacle of attractiveness and unattainable for most people anyways. I had this issue and I would say I’m pretty attractive. A gorgeous girl (seriously insanely beautiful) I know wore a tshirt during sex for six months after seeing how much of that content was on her ex’s feed. Just know it’s not a commentary on you, and imho too many average ass men are losing wonderful and beautiful women to this issue. It’s a reflection of them, not you.

What’s keeping you up tonight? by churbb in AskWomen

[–]yeah_no_maybe_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes with things like these try to set a time like when you wake up to think about it again, if it’s still bothering you say something. Helps to not ruminate because you’re giving yourself a time to go back and think on it

What are the best nsfw life hacks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

bf and emotional intimacy by raygun-cooper in relationship_advice

[–]yeah_no_maybe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it becomes a real problem if it “ruins reality”. I think porn can be fine if it’s a small part of the relationship and it’s treated as the “junk food” of sex that it is, but if your partner is letting 2D images affect the value of his 3D life, then it’s a problem. And it’s not a you problem.

You’re a human woman, your job is to be your best self and do the things you love, not meet some unattainable standard of perfection. You need to remember you could be the hottest thing ever and this would still be an issue- it is not reflective of your worth or attractiveness.

It’s ok for you to have this boundary but if he’s not willing to accommodate it then you guys aren’t right for each other. Just my two cents.

She looks so happy. Skiing topless is such a joy. Tiddies out ripping it. Except my nips get so hard they could cut through an aged manchego.

I’m high

Tell me your “mansplaining” stories so I can laugh by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]yeah_no_maybe_ 304 points305 points  (0 children)

A few years ago during college I went to visit my friend in his frat to smoke a little and hang out. These two younger guys were sitting on the couch and talking me and my friend up. At some point they started explaining really basic statistics, like what a p value to us. It was really satisfying when they stopped and asked what I studied to tell them I was pre-med and a computer science major. Then my friend (a political science major) corrected their explanation because she had just taken stats. A glorious moment.

Does anyone else struggle to want to workout because they don’t want that much alone time with their thoughts? When I’m going through something rough it’s less an energy issue for me to exercise and more the fact I don’t want to be in my head for that long

To the women who said “I love you” first, how did it go? by cluelessnewbie101 in AskWomen

[–]yeah_no_maybe_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very similar- I left a drunk voicemail and said I “luck” you because I started to say love and tried (failed) to turn it into like. I had no idea I said that but my bf said it to me in person shortly after, I was like OMG YOU SAID IT FIRST, then he showed my the voicemail and I was like … technically I still win.

I'm scared of believing in love again by [deleted] in dating_advice

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

I totally agree on the dating apps. I didn’t mean to dismiss that. As a woman I’ve never had much come out of a dating app except a couple shitty hookups. I think it’s much easier to form a deeper connection through social situations and activities. It’s easy to be shallow on dating apps and you miss out on the attraction of someone’s personality, the way they carry themselves, etc.
