I don't wear tampons because they're very uncomfortable (I have a narrow vagina). Sex is different because you'll (presumably) be turned on and lubricated. And when you're turned on, your vagina elongates. Sex shouldn't be an issue.

Don't feel bad, anon.

I live in the US and I plan to spend my entire $600 stimulus on AP's MTOs.
Wanna know something else? I'm also on unemployment, and I'll be getting $300 more a week for a few months, which will probably also be spent on whatever. I'm one of those people who now will get more in unemployment money than I did working. It was actually a huge relief when I was laid off due to covid. So don't feel guilty, at least not in 2020.

And before anyone freaks out at me, I do have savings, and my living expenses are covered. My significant other and I agreed I should quit my toxic job a long time ago, but I hung in for a few months longer until I was finally laid off, which means yes, I get the "game" the system because unfortunately that's how the US is set up.

Gay men are not absolved of misogyny simply by being gay. The sentiments in that article are typical sentiments where men are trying to control women and demonize things that are seen as "not proper" or not for a "real lady."

Covid made everything 100x more toxic, and while I didn't actively try to get fired, I hoped and wished I would be.

Just go for some index funds. For example VTI or anything similar. Anything with like 5%+ yearly gains is fine. You put away into it every month and never have to micromanage anything. Most are doing better than 5% a year. Would definitely suggest starting as soon as possible so you can retire early. I hard regretti not investing in my early 20s and even late teens, but I was a moron haha.

Idk if you have a 401k, but mine is up like 22%. When you're employed again definitely put as much as you can into that. Roth isn't bad as it is already taxed when you put it in so you won't have to pay taxes on it later(standard penalties still apply).

If you want to be more risky and gamble learn more about the market and stock trading and you can trade options.

The problem isn’t that they feel uncomfortable or don’t fit.

I used to be a hardcore pastel sweet lolita but I'm kind of thinking of just selling it all off right now while it's hyped up at least. I've been wearing it less and less over the past couple years, I always reach for jewel tone or black x white stuff instead now. it started as a seasonal thing and just kind of stuck. if someone else can get happiness from wearing milky planet and silly plastic jewelry right now that's got to be better than having it sit in my closet, right? Right now I honestly feel repulsed by all my pastel stuff and idk if it's because I'm depressed, getting older, or honestly having a shift in style but I just want it gone so I can buy something different without feeling guilty for having so many clothes. It's just weird that so many things that I treasured and thought I'd never sell are now potentially on their way out...

If you need a personal trainer to maintain good health, you have more money than sense. It's not hard to stay healthy. You don't need someone else to tell you to run, stretch and don't eat like shit. Personal trainers arent worth jackshit and have next to zero qualifications, people on/fit/ have more genuine knowledge than trend chasing personal trainers. Good personal trainers are ex-physios or ex-elite athletes who train people to certain athletic standards (i.e. other elite athletes) or people with large limitations.

>Why not?
Because it won't make you happy. If you get it into your head you can fix anything with plastic surgery, you will find fault in everything.

I'm trying to quit smoking/vaping so I can have a larger budget for lolita. But it's so fucking hard, it's been maybe an hour since my last one and I'm already irritable and on the edge of tears. I know it'll be worth it, I'm just so fucking tired of trying to quit and not making it to the 2nd week because my coworkers chainsmoke and because I lack mental fortitude. The psychological aspect is so much more difficult to deal with than the physical symptoms. I hate my mom, my ex, and my old friends for getting me addicted to this shit. I have asthma too, there's no way this shit won't be the thing that kills me. I'm taking extras of my anxiety meds so I don't flip out on Christmas Eve or tomorrow. But fuck, it's so hard.

I don't want to sound ungrateful but my family is chock full of narcissists and they pretty much gave me shit that they think I like.

In any given situation there are almost definitely going to be cuter girls than me around. I'm just really good company and a really good person to talk to. I maintain eye contact and listen to what people tell me, and desu? Just making people feel heard and appreciated is half the battle when it comes to being liked by others. It's crazy to me that so many people are so bad at conversation and bad at paying attention to other people when they're talking. People also tell me that I'm so genuine in my interest in others, too, which is true. I'm genuinely interested assuming I don't despise the person talking to me.

Ladies, the man you date doesn't have to be rich. He has to be generous and willing to provide. Many rich men are neither, and many lower middle class to middle class men are eager to be generous providers. A rich man might live in a nicer house and drive a nicer car, but rich men are almost universally stingier than poorer men. And also more likely to dump you for a fresh young 20 year old once you turn 30-40.

My man worked at a gas station making minimum and lived with his parents when I met him and now we're comfortably lower middle class, he bought a house, and I don't have to work at all. We can afford everything we want, honestly. He got me great stuff for Christmas and also wrote me a card with two homemade "coupons" for 2 complete NWT AP sets of my choosing. They have "expire" in March. I asked why and he said "way to ruin a surprise! Just playing with you. They expire in March because you're getting at least one more for your half birthday and I want to buy you two before that."

You all deserve a man this sweet. He also brings me a prepared cup of tea in bed every single day when I need to wake up, which is brewed/prepared exactly to my liking.

AYRT and gross. Thanks for that.

Maybe it is because I was raised by a single father (I am a woman for reference) but I see the gross shit going both ways. Some men are immature and selfish and can be shitty towards women, but some women are equally as shallow and shitty. It goes both ways, and I really hope that women/men take responsibility for their actions and grow to be positive people. Too much shit flinging and blaming others for shittiness when most of it is just reflected back. Sure, some people can be shitty to great people, but you often get what you give out.

Women go through so much emotional labour for men that yes, he should be paying for everything. Or at least if you yourself make enough money, your SO should be someone who adds value to your relationship, not taking away by living as a leech.
>always have multiple men on tap, never be loyal
You should vent multiple men cause it takes time find a HVM. I don’t know what kind of loyalty you are talking about. Just don’t give wife benefits to anyone who isn’t going to marry you.

Friendly reminder that this thread is infested with scrotes- fds is to help stop women getting financially emotionally, physically abused or worse murdered. Theres a lot of women haters out there (and also in here posing as women) the other side of this are the men who treat women as a game-referring to women as plates and just using them as a revolving buffet of sex with no repercussions- disgusting. Women need to know we have some weapons against fuckboys like this, too.

Not to be a cunt but if you had a difficult background you would know what a red flag in a mans behaviour is to violence or abusiveness, but if you had a nice life with a good family you could make it to dating age without knowing them. I stro gly suggest zingle women should go there.

I'm honestly really sad about the direction lolita fashion has been taking. I basically don't even look at new releases anymore because even if I like a design, it will never fit me, and I don't want to spend $300 on a dress that I'll have to alter. AP, Baby, IW, Moitie, all of them have sized out smaller girls in both width and height. IW removed their S size for blouses, and Moitie which used to be known as a particularly small brand now only differentiates between medium and large.

I'm grateful for the few smaller brands which still offer clothes in small sizes, but it just feels so weird that the clothes that used to fit like they were made for me have now become just as ill-fitting as most western brands.

I was a fan of a japanese dance youtuber, but she closed her account many years ago, but I looked her up again and she's still gone. There are a couple of reuploads by other people but most of her stuff is gone. She also has one other account that wasn't closed where she has a video that looks so much fun, everything about it is awesome and I wish I could be there. There is that one video with a meetup and people are dancing and they seem like awesome people and then there's a guy on rollerblades in the background, just adding sprinkles on the top
I wish I could experience that meetup, but I also wish I could watch her videos again.
Her dancing is so good and full of energy, making them so much more fun to watch and inspiring and makes me wish to start doing the same thing myself
but I'm too old and japanese dance community probably doesn't exist idk seems everything is in decline and well even if it existed and I were still young they'd still not want anything to do with me because people never do.

It's probably a bit of both. When I saw her videos and how she went to different locations and such it made me feel that I would like to do that as well. I've also had some fascination with weeaboo dancing for a long time, ever since I saw Motteke Sailor Fuku on youtube and then Hare Hare Yukai.
I also really like it when there are good dance performances at cons, that's some of the best performances in my opinion. So I've had a want to do that type of dancing with people for a really long time, or I guess do it on my own to some extent as well (but I'm too lazy and unmotivated). Most recently I've had a fascination with yosakoi after watching Hanayamata. In any case SOME sort of weeaboo dancing would be really nice to take part in.

But there's also just the group of friends. Some of my very best experiences has been the times when I've felt like a part of a group or wanted, and that's one of my biggest wishes. But you can extend it to sort of nerdy people, which I find much cooler than normies. I don't feel the same type of desire to be a part of a group that let's say go to sports bars to drink beer and watch football. But just the clothes they wear tell me that they're cool people that I'd have a desire to hang out with, at least they are the type of people who catch my attention and I feel an attraction to (I might end up hating them later if they reveal some uglier sides).
But yes, doing fun stuff with friends is something I'd love to do too. In addition to dancing, I've also thought I'd be very fun to make cosplay videos with friends (which I've also never done), or even just have a song group and sing nerdy songs. Even not doing something artistic would be fun though.

Now I've only been talking about the meetup video of hers though, she also had some slumberparty or something videos, and THAT'S something I've also wanted.

If your Mandarin sucks, they probably won't speak to you? They might think you're cute because you have European features but the charm will wear off quick. I've been learning for years, but Shanghai also has a slightly different dialect from typical "northern"/"southern" Mandarin that you'd learn in a classroom. The country is amazing and so rich with history, sights, and all... but Chinese aren't typically buddy buddy with foreigners unless they can actually hold a conversation. During my time there I'd met quite a few lolitas but most of them wore it on occasion. The rich brandwhore community in China is pretty tight knit but if you're there long enough I reckon you can get in with them attending tea parties and posting on Douyin/Weibo/etc.

However, the longer you stay the easier it will be to learn the language and become more outgoing in your endeavors. Mandarin is not as difficult a language as people make it out to be, you just have to have an ear for tones and be able to recognize pictographic clues in characters. I had an easy time in China since I studied the language and adore the cuisine, culture, and the honest nature of the people. But if you're not that into 中国, I'd suggest a different location.

What this Anon said. Lots of good insight here.

As a Chinese immigrant living in the US, reading about your love of the culture and history is really refreshing to hear. I've really only dealt with racism my entire life living here. It's nice to know that some people don't hate Chinese people, especially in this social climate compounded with the state of affairs in the world. I do live in the US though, and the public education system is a joke and education really isn't prioritized or held in any high regard.

Apologies if I'm rusty, I haven't really had chances to practice my Mandarin this year due to COVID /.\ I am one of few who was very lucky to have an amazing, involved Chinese teacher who told us many stories about his life in 云南! He told us his favorite recipes, his family and regional history, and gave us so many resources to learn about Chinese life in a meaningful way. It is the first language I truly fell in love with! Unfortunately I completely understand your experience in America, people here are super ignorant and know so little about such a significant and influential culture. I am so glad I could cheer you up and let you know that there are people out there who know the truth. Most Americans have minimal knowledge, usually related to the government or popular culture.

just having a shit mental health day, anons. i'm far from overweight, i'm a healthy weight, but i just tried on a dress and unfortunately the sedentary lifestyle i've had while in lockdown has got to me. it was always a small dress but I used to fit it no problem. i want to cry and i'm disgusted with myself. i hope you guys are having a better day.

feel free to call me a fatty and be a troll, i might not see it since i barely check here. i just wanted to vent about how awful i feel.

I'm an introvert. Talking all day to colleges is enough social action for me. Plus I don't drink.

Really? Genuinely, are you ESL? It sounded like you're saying that 7 hours isn't a long travel time.

I was there too 4 months ago. My love handles started to become visible again because I stopped working out and didn't go out much anymore. Felt like shit for a while but then I started slowly going back to exercising. I had lost all my gains so I basically started all over but now I have my love handles in check again.
Don't feel bad about it, anon, it happens. If you feel disgusted with your current self then use this energy to improve yourself! Don't let these feelings of disgust and shame consume you. You can do it!

7 hours is less than 10 hours or if we follow the anon’s logic 10 hour flight is 14 hours of traveling. I would take anything over 14 hours of stress.

Would that include moving to a massive meotrpolitan hellhole in a country who's government you hate, learning a language, culture and laws you don't know and might not even like, sticking out like a sore thumb, not having any better job prospects than at home and having your family and friends a world away just so you could be slightly closer to the actual country you want to go to?

It just seems like you're going to massive lengths to achieve not a lot.

Anon it actually helps alot.
I went through alot of trauma, and suppressed it for my whole life and got to the point i couldn't even speak of anything. I would stop and reject the words to come out my mouth, cause i feared once i admitted it out loud they were real, and that was to hard to cope with.
So my therapist asked me to write a story, just like yours did. It's a little weird at first but it helped me finally admit to what happened to me, but with out the fear of saying it out loud.
I get how it feels like a costume, but think of it as a memoir but set in another world.

Diff anon but I like Chinese people, for some reason in my life I've had a bunch of Chinese friends and most of my in-laws are Chinese as well. I have been learning more about the culture and learned some Mandarin (not enough to type sorry). So idk I have a really positive impression of Chinese people

Anyone else see themselves in the mirror with a ponytail and get an almost irresistible urge to just chop it off right there? I don't know why but I feel like bangs and short length looks cute like that especially if I just sniped it off blunt but I am sure thats just the call of the void tempting me to cut off years of work to get to waist length.

I had waist length hair for years and I loved it but chopping it was one of the best things I could have done with my look. I have bangs now too. My hair is softer and healthier too. I know it's hard work to grow it, but maybe think about it!

I'm not saying they are, but why should nations and people risk their interests by being benevolent to people who have no stake in their country when it is a fact that the Chinese government does utilise it's expat population to spy and sabotage other, even friendly, countries?

Nobody is owed blind benevolence from a foreign country or community.

Good luck with anon, and heads up at times it may get hard to write the things out, but even using a metaphor for them works. And if you start feeling mad or wanting to cry, write with that emotion in you. It comes out true in the writing. I wish you the best.
