We don’t have to like everyone and not everyone needs to like us. Be yourself and find your people. Creates a happier life in my opinion.
I also rarely form an opinion of someone based on one interaction.
Pretty flowers 😍 Wish I was seeing the city in bloom.
The way a male novelist writes women is very different than women write women. Even painters, sculptors, etc their artwork of women is very different than what a woman creates. A friend and I have a game in art museums where any art depicting women we say from a distance if we think the artist is male or female. Haven’t been wrong yet.
Just like with artwork, trolls have little tells.
So far the only issues I’ve had with women on Nostr are the ones obsessed with Dorsey. One of those I believe to be a man pretending to be a woman obsessed with him. 🤷🏼♀️
We didn’t watch Mean Girls and think damn I want to emulate Regina George. It was a social critique on a phenomenon that existed before the film. Just like men compete with other men. Women compete with women. I’ve yet to interact with a troll presenting as male on here and think it’s actually a woman behind the keyboard. I have dealt with npubs presenting as women and think I’m pretty sure that’s a man behind the keyboard though. I’ve encountered both male and female trolls on Nostr. Men and women troll differently online, just like in real life.
I don’t know your situation. Having dealt with a lot of medical billing situations, I’ve had scammers unconnected to the hospital/doctors trying to collect money from me. Record keeping is everything. Keeps notes of every phone call and the name of every representative you speak to. It’s an absolutely insane process imo. Feels like banging your head against a wall dealing with medical billing.
I know more stay at home moms. They are not getting leisure time while their husband is at work. At best they’re getting a bit of time while the kid(s) are napping but it’s usually time filled getting things done without kiddos slowing you down. Their husbands pitch in on childcare and household tasks after work too.
Glad you’re getting around again. Mobility issues suck. Recovery can be slow and a roller coaster from my experience. Doing pretty good personally right now. Knock on wood, cross fingers, and say a prayer it stays that way. 🤞🏻
I get that. My discomfort is more about me personally than someone else’s success. I personally need to confront my discomfort and either change it or accept it.
I think how one handles wealth is more important than the amount. If a guy is driving a Lamborghini as his everyday car he’s not on the same page as me. Also if there’s income/ wealth disparity how does your partner make you feel about it? How do they seem to feel about it? I don’t want to be with someone who would hold a grudge against me or treat me as less than because of their material wealth. I’ve seen guys with a little money acting like every woman who says hello is after their bag. Then I’ve seen multimillionaires who were generous with their time and attention. It’s more mindset than pure numbers.
I don’t think they do.
Yikes! Sounds like it didn’t end well.
I’m known amongst friends of being blunt and straight to the heart of the matter if they’re unloading or asking for advice. As far as I know I’m not autistic.
I did use something similar but it was a 23 year old hitting on me so I said go play in your own sandbox.
I have told friends before that the person described in their list doesn’t exist. I’ve also been like ok so what’s the 60-80% of the list that’s really necessary and what are the nice to haves. I’ve also suggested people look at their list and for everything they’re asking for evaluate how they’re bringing that or a complimentary trait to the table.
It’s sad but it’s also really good to know if a potential partner doesn’t believe they’re capable of changing their behavior patterns.
Here’s a short clip. The whole thing is apparently super long.
There’s a really funny comedian who has a bit about her sister choosing an arranged marriage and her choosing a love match. Let me find a clip.
