  • How did I manage to come off as so brainless and lacking in self respect that I’d have nothing better to do than be someone’s wife?

    genuinely curious, how did "you'd be a good wife" turn into "you'd be brainless and lacking in self respect, and would be nothing more than a spouse"?

  • Some of my hobbies. I don't talk unless people ask (like you did). I never talk about anime, muscle mommies, etc. (shoutout !fitmoe@lemmy.world). I'll talk about regular hobbies (like !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz or !bready@lemmy.world baking.

    Sexuality/romantic stuff. I'm bi, but I never talk about it, unless it's relevant or to encourage someone. I'm married anyway, so that time of my life is passed.

  • I don't have hard evidence for this, but I would wager that it's just getting louder. We'd rarely, if ever, hear about hate violence when I was a kid. Now it's everywhere. Why? Is it because it's more? No, statistics show violent crime is on the decline. It's because it's louder. News media didn't use to talk about it, they'd hush it up or write about other reasons. Now it's more accurately reported because there are lots of public LGBT voices.

  • I like the smell of other people. We work so hard to scrub ourselves clean, but I like to smell of people, even sweaty. I ask my spouse not to shower too often, lol. (Not trying to ask them to be super stinky... just a little favor.) I sneak a little smell every time I hug my kids.

    IDK if this is popular or not, but I never hear anyone talk about it, so shrug

  • Don't lie that you're 25. In my experience, there are 2 ways to handle stupid questions you don't wanna answer.

    1. agree and amplify with bullshit. "yeah, 40 and unmarried. I'm so lonely. I scream and cry myself to sleep every night. I drink 5 gallons of vodka just to make it thru a shift.".
    2. change the frame. "why are you so interested in my marital status? Are you looking for someone? I'm flattered but you're not my type.".
  • Going to loud parties with more than 5 people. 1) loud things hurt my ears and give me a headache. 2) can't hear the person you're talking to anyways bc of loud. 3) why are there 50 people here? Past 5 ppl, you can't really talk to people well and the space gets crowded.

    Great for you if that's your thing but not me.
