If I put a glass screen protector over my phone camera, does it change the camera's quality or is it truly transparent so it doesn't make a difference? I can't test it out without removing the adhesive film. Thanks in advance

I wanna make this skirt, and I am kinda new to sewing in general.
I want to be able to wear it now and also when I go back to my former weight (10cm less of waist), so how should I measure the waistband?
Anonymous 12017
>>12013Don't worry, you won't notice a difference even though front cameras are typically worse than the back camera. Plus the glass coating is already covering the lens. Even highly professional cameras use glass filters on top of the lens, sometimes several ones stacked (Neutral Density or Polarization filters), which yes, when scratched or dirty can mess with the image quality, but as long as you keep your phone decently clean, you won't notice at all and may actually save yourself the heartbreak of getting a scratch or a crack right above the lens.

I'm a dumbboo who still doesn't get it, I don't know that much about the anatomy inside of a mouth. Is it simply that a piece of gum is too big? I feel like chewy low grade gummis that feel like a hard gel are as hard to chew and can be as big. When I look this up online, all I get are articles on what happens when humans decide to ingest gum. But why don't we naturally just swallow it? Because we know you're not supposed to swallow gum? Because a standard sized piece is too big to trigger the reflex?

What is the name of this type of fucking pattern? I look everywhere as "checkered" or even "plaid" and can't find anything like this.
Anonymous 12180
>>12154If I had to guess I'd say it's because it doesn't feel like food. Ever notice how we don't really chew and then swallow it all at once? We swallow little by little as we chew, progressively. We can't do that with gum because it doesn't break down no matter how much we chew, so the body probably doesn't identify it as edible. (had a similar experience eating octopus, it took a long time to chew and I had to manually swallow it because it wouldn't break down. I don't recommend eating that either.)
Since we're on the topic of gum: why isn't it biodegradable? I've made gum dissolve a couple times by chewing on it for too long (over 12 hours lol) so it doesn't seem like something that should stay on the ecosystem very long. Or is it biodegradable and I'm mixing it up with plastic?

i've had cats. i've met friends cats. i've even made friends with a feral cat. i like em. so, my sister has a male cat who is about 1 year old. when the cat was little (before getting neutred) he was super agressive and hurt everyone. now he has calm down and gets along with people. even for a while with me.
but completely out of nowhere the cat has decided that he hates me. everytime he sees me he hisses or runs away. i'm not even touching him or doing anything he just gets mad when he sees me it lowkey hurts my feelings ;-; how do i make him stop hissing at me for no reason i want to be his friend. i've never had this problem with a cat before i think maybe he's just agressive or not very friendly? or maybe he senses that i'm evil i don't know but i don't like it anons! help me make friends with my sister's cat. when he was little i babysat him and fed him and now he takes any chance to hiss at me/hurt me/run away like i did something wrong and i don't know why. please forgive me mr cat i want your love

maybe i could use my sisters hair gel or her perfume? she's out of town rn and i'm trying to watch after the cat. hopefully taking a shower before seeing the cat/wearing my sisters perfume or something can help? because that poor guy seems super stressed out and lonely i really want to help.

want dropouts here and not college students/people with degrees. making it hard for me because anything above that wants experience that i don't have because i'm a college student that's going to get her degree soon. so i just want money and experience but i'm having a hard time.
so yeah i just imagined that since theres only one maid cafe in town they would just take whatever half cute girl in her 20s and wouldn't ask for much from me other than being decent looking. that's why i was sort of interested.i know a lot of the lurkers here into lolita/cosplay stuff so i thought i'd ask if i needed to have all that expensive lolita and cosplay stuff…so there you go anon… thanks i guess…
tl;dr not every country has tons of job opportunities. this is one that interested me but i don't know a lot about lolita cafes. again, theres only ONE in my entire town. i was just asking a simple question dog why r u being so mean to me lemme ask my dumb questions Anonymous 12410

>>12369well, it probably doesn't
hurt to be a cosplayer/lolita considering the type of customer that business model attracts, but it depends on whether it's a functioning business or whether it's the weeby owner's harem fantasy. a real maid cafe would most likely supply you with a uniform (or allow you to buy one at a discounted rate) while the latter usually expects you to come up with your own.
i'd really only apply there if it's been around for a few years and has an established reputation because, at least in the states, those maid cafes never seem to stick around for long and usually look like really shitty environments to work in. but if you're wanting to make decent tips from the neckbeards, you'll need to cultivate a following of regulars instead of just relying on being half-cute and female. think of it like a gig at hooters; you're not just a waitress, you're a ~model~ and ~entertainer~. it won't necessarily be any easier than being a server at a normal restaurant.
also try applying at some retail stores. that's where i got my first part-time job when i was in college.
lolita clothing=/=maid uniform, btw.

I mean, this is the demographic appealed to by the sex industry. Maybe they just don't have any sexual experience beyond paying to cum, and think that the entire world does the same thing in a different way.

What do ~normal~ men think of female virginity, deep down?
On one hand I have difficulty putting my faith in the rhetoric that every single guy secretly see the complete lack of prior sexual experience as the ideal, as it's paraded mostly by incels, but on the other hand I also can't help but see the possibility that guys who claim that they largely don't care about a woman's sexual experience, or even see virginity as a slightly negative thing are concealing their true thoughts to avoid social ostracism, or to obtain women's approval.
Anonymous 12533
>>12527Most normie men don't think less of you if you're not a virgin anymore, but virginity is kind of a nice bonus from what I have seen. The only way most men may think less of you regarding sex is if you're the typical slut, etc. Most also won't think you're a weird freak if you're older and virgin as long as you give a good reason for being one, like not finding someone you
actually wanted to be with. It makes them feel a bit more special. The only normie men I know who didn't care about me being a virgin not even a tiny bit were the men who just wanted to fugg and would rather me be an experienced bitch.

>>12546Box fans are god-tier. Experiment with a couple ways of setting them up, though. I've notice that sometimes you want the fan sending outside air in, and sometimes you want it sending inside air out.
When you open windows, the windows that face each other are the most important. Air will go in one window and out the other, and that cross breeze works the best for getting hot air out of there.
We would also lay down blankets on all of our upholstered furniture so the sweat wouldn't soak into the fabric. That stuff stinks up really quick if you let it.
Try to avoid using the oven and stove. It's just extra heat, microwaves and outdoor grills don't have that problem.

ねる is the verb, afaik "shita" indicates past tense. The final ね is a speech/tone indicator that doesn't have semantic meaning.
What
exactly that means depends on context though.

Is the "incel" phenomenon only restricted to males? By they way, does the word "incel" have any actual purpose, since prostitution is largely common?
Anonymous 12673
>>12672
i disagree. there are definitely female incels, but they don't form communities because they generally hate everyone and view the world as sluts and assholes. think like tomoko from watamote, those girls do definitely exist, but no one knows about them. they also pose as males within incel communities.

Two questions:
1. My boyfriend of ~4 months frequently tells me he likes me a lot. Some context: I'm very insecure (he's very handsome and intelligent, like disgustingly so), we broke up for a very short time then got back together (trying to overcompensate for that perood??) and he said that from his psychoanalysis as a kid that he is most likely on the spectrum (so he doesn't know when to stop?). Why would he say that a lot? A similar thing happened to me with a scumbag and he ended up fucking another girl when we were supposed to hang out. I know my boyfriend isn't like him but I can't help but wonder.
2. Has anyone been accepted into a masters program with a completely different undergrad program and mediocre marks? I don't like what I have studied to do, but I don't want to do another bachelor's degree… so I thought a masters would be a good option… but oh! My marks… my marks! Is there any hope??

Find out more by contacting the institutions that you're interested in to see what their requirements are. Probably not a whole new degree, but just classes that are relevant prerequisites or related to core studies of the program.

Can I eat any type of fish raw? As in, is it safe?

Anonymous 13114
>>13096No, they may have parasites. Why would you want to have any type of fish raw anyway?
Anonymous 13133
>>13096technically yes. lake/river fish have a higher likelihood of bacteria though. ocean fish have less, and farmed fish have basically none. fresh frozen or fresh is the safest. also there's not much you can do to prevent bacteria if the fish has it. vinegaring doesn't really do anything for it, neither does parboiling.
Anonymous 13134
>>13133also, just to add make sure it's a fish fish. things like shellfish etc need to be handled very carefully, but things that are 'fish' only need to be fresh or fresh frozen (as in day caught) from a fish market or from a trustworthy store that sells 'sushi fish'. polite sage.

>>13114Have you ever eaten sushi, anon? lol It's not a new concept. I honestly prefer raw fish, I mean, I like it prepared in anyway, but for me, the flavor and texture really comes out when it's raw. I feel like a lot of fish that I bake or fry and such ended up being "samey". The taste is delicious, ofc, but it isn't as distinct as when it is raw.
>>13133>>13134Thank you so much for this complete answer, anon! One of the current season fishes that I really like is actually a river one (Tilapia), but I am almost sure it's farmed. (especially because their native river is always compromised by droughts, which really sucks)
I also really like flounder, so I am glad to hear sea fish are safer in general.
Another dumb question, is it because of the salt?
I've eaten raw fish for a long time, but I am just now learning about new fishes than the ones I always consumed raw (salmon, tuna, st. peter's fish, trout, etc) and looking for fresher and cheaper seasonal fish. As I said, I do prefer them raw (in general), and it's also easier to prep it.
Anonymous 13146
>>13142yep it is because of the salt basically. a lot of bacteria is transported to bodies of water via rain, but many cannot survive in the harsh salt waters. also the chances of fish having bacteria in the ocean is lowered because of the sheer number of creatures.

Anonymous 13232
>>13227you must be female and over 18 to post
jelly material is toxic so you really should have researched more before purchasing, and if you think the hymen exists/is something that needs to be broken then you should research more about the female body
Anonymous 13234
>>13232But anon, the hymen do exist and it can be "broken". The thing is; this shouldn't matter nor be determinent of a woman's value, and that's the problem with it.
I think it's a good idea that she tries to break the membrane by herself since a lot of men just simply don't care. It's better than cleaning bloody sheets later.
Now..
>>13227The material doesn't matter (I can't say if jelly is toxic or not for I don't know), the important thing is that you're very wet (or have tons of lube) and, mostly important, very relaxed. It should be quick once you are ready, it's a very thin membrane after all. Some women don't even have it at all and some have just a small "thread". There should not be blood if you do things slowly, at least not enough to stain anything.
However this will not "facilitate" things when you are with a partner. It's all very situational. If you are stressed out with a partner, it will hurt with or without your hymen, because it's truly such a puny part of the female body.

During sex the hymen doesn't actually break, the existing hole stretches. It can be a slow, not so painful stretch; or it can be stupid fast and painful if your partner is an ass. That said, it does depend on your own anatomy - sometimes it's easier, some women have the hymen more "rigid", some might even require a surgery.

>>13773>>13841Sizes have always been ridiculous, it's just easier and easier to notice I guess. How things are going to fit can depend on the brand, the cute of the clothes and other arbitrary criteria. I feel like the worst is definitely when sizes are indicated with XS to XL, those letters are way to vague to be able to know what fits.
And the humble bragging accusations on lolcow come from the fact that supposedly, a bunch of anons on threads I've hid (so hence the "supposedly") are legit humblebragging with posts like "I hate my body so much because I'm conventionally good-looking, petite with huge tits and ass and I get compliments all the time". And because of that, whenever someone will describe their body in a thread or post where it's relevant to ask for advice or something, they'll be accused of humblebragging and shitting on fat women or something. There's a weird logic behind it, and anons are confused as to who is showing off and who isn't since it's an anon imageboard. And people are too stupid to ignore the anons who actually humblebrag so it's has gotten worse and entire threads are getting derailed.

>>13941That sounds pretty conclusive, thanks! I also think it's really cute that you want to be strong for him that sounds ideal.
>>13942Thank you for your concern, but I'm somewhat optimistic that I can find a nice
and thin guy. In combination with knowing that the aforementioned strongwoman fetishists are out there, I've known at least a few normie men at my job that are happy and secure in being weaker and smaller than other men. But ofc I've never had a 1v1 fight/lifting competition with them either so I was wondering if I, as a woman, could reach a point where I could easily outdo such men.

>>13945Anon fighting and lifting is totally different I asked my boyfriend these questions
Q : "can a woman lift more than a man?"
A : " yes, women can endure more pain than men in general so they can train harder and apply more strength than men before they break down"
Q : "can a woman win a 1 v 1 fight against a man of the same weight?"
A : " fighting is more than just brute Force, it depends on skill and women can easily develop fighting skills"
Q : " so are men stronger than men ?"
A : " like in general ? I guess a woman can easily become stronger, faster, and more skilled than your average guy and with more effort they can surpass men in general if they have enough discipline they can lift so much more (specially with their lower body) "
Q : " why are some guys so insecure around stronger women?"
A : " just like some women don't like men who are too muscular guys don't like girls who are too muscular, and even more when gender roles are so defined, but we are in the 21th and some girls take protein powder or even inject roids so … I think we should just accept the fact that anyone can be stronger than you"

It's hard not to when they raid CC simply for the fact we're "roasties" or whatever. I don't think the "hate" the users have here rivals the hate men seem to have for women on other boards. I'm not able to vent about men in any other place, so I assume that a lot of the "hate" is just because most people are discouraged from expressing it elsewhere.

I rarely use fb so I'm not sure how certain things work. I just private messaged someone who responded to a post in a group I made, then I deleted the original post thinking it would help keep the group tidy but I forgot that fb used to do that thing where it would hide messages from people who are not your friends on fb and make them hard to see unless you explicitly change the settings or check your 'other' inbox.
Does fb still do this? Is there a chance my message might be overlooked or will it definitely send them a notification?

I already consulted Google but couldn't find anything.
Anonymous 16771

Depends on the specific flaws, I think.
You don't need to hide or deny that those are facets of your person, but it's also probably true that most people would see it as red flag that someone lays out all their baggage very early on.
Discussing beyond the surface level (interests, background, general getting to know a person questions), like asking about values and weaknesses might help. Like asking someone their opinion or impression of topics related to your flaws, without going "so this hypothetical person that is not-me, who has trust issues, what do you think?" Maybe incorporating some discussion point like a current event or type of media that features that aspect you want to test?
It's a balancing act for sure, good luck anon.

>>12642You just add the genitive s (that’s its name) to the end of the word. There’s no rule that distinguishes ’s from s’; that’s overcomplicating things. The reason why it’s sometimes ’s and sometimes s’ is that some words end in -s by default. For example:
the shoes of the girl - the girl’s shoes
the shoes of the girlS (plural) - the girls’s shoes (also plural)
Now, "girls’s" looks terribly retarded, so the convention is to stick with "girls’".
For names it’s a little bit different, there’s disagreement on how to do it properly. A lot of people, me included, would refer to the shoes of James as "James’ shoes". However, there is a considerable amount of people that are spastic enough to complain that "James’" was indicating that it’s a plural stem word (like "girls") and go for "James’s" instead. Afaik both versions are perfectly correct, though. So just use s’ whenever the word ends in s and you’re good.
"-es" never is a possession marker.

Anonymous 16853

That’s pretty easy tbh. For each of these words, there’s the proper Latin plural that follows the rules of the Latin grammar and the English plural formed by adding an -s or -es. In technical writing, you always stick to the Latin plural, otherwise, you use the English plural. That’s why guitarists use plectrums, not plectra. That means that you’re totally fine talking about the cactuses that decorate your window and that you can tell the obnoxious know-it-all faggot that tries to correct it to cacti to fuck off since using the register of a scientific paper is considered inappropriate in a casual conversation. That’d be like saying felines instead of cats.

When you did that to all the difficult parts, you play it all at once again and notice where you get stuck and then combine the playing with a rhythm/pattern that appears to you bit by bit.
It often ends up as a series of "checkpoints" that are particularly nice to play, with elaborated steps in-between.

Is there a term for a person who is dismissive of people who get offended about an issue he doesn't care about but when he himself is insulted/contradicted about an issue he does care about, he also feels offended and self-righteously so? I mean people who comment things like:

>lol people are so sensitive, I personally don't think this is offensive at all

One is this cute grill I messed up trying to get to know. Some fillipino guy who was 54 was giving her a lot of attention and I tried to tell her he was sexually interested in her. She insisted he was her friend. Why would a 54 year old fillipino with a history of going after young, cute, white girls just want to be friends?
I got fired for "making up a sexual harassment claim" for reporting his creepy behavior. I got fired before this white nationalist I knew working there came back from vacation and I had him convinced before he left to beat his ass with me. We would have dragged him into the corner of the warehouse and dealt with his foreign ass. Girls like guys who protect them.
That young woman(22 years old) is practically a runaway. She moved away to escape a bad home situation and she needed that job. Every young woman that this fillipino has gone after has quit her job because of his escalating sexual harassment. The company refuses to fire him. She could end up homeless because of this guy and that pissed me off. I had a slim chance of dating her but I've seen what happens to homeless women and it isn't pretty.

>>68298I have this and it makes relationships absolute hell sometimes. I frequently get an urge to ask for reassurance, try to indirectly steer the discussion to topics that let me gather more info on whether he's still committed, ruminate on my partner's feelings constantly when I'm on my own, blah blah blah. What I started doing in my current relationship is that whenever I get the urge to do some maladaptive type of reassurance-seeking or pointlessly dwell on how he's feeling, I instead do something to reinforce the positive traits I have that attracted him to me in the first place. Say he was charmed by my love for making quirky electronic music, and idk, my compassionate nature. When I'm feeling blue and neurotic about him abandoning me, I know what to do: I can work on a new track or channel my compassion into reaching out to a loved one or finding good places to donate a bit to. I don't need to tell him or anything although it's cool if it comes up, it will show through the kind of person I am.
While excessive prodding might give me more information and rumination feels appealing in the moment, it doesn't make it less likely that I will be abandoned (it will in fact even increase the chance, since I'm being annoying and becoming more boring). Focusing on developing my character and interests, on the other hand, actually increases how much he wants to stay with me, and more importantly lets me be an actual person instead of dependent on someone else. Even if something happens and things don't work out, I will have spent the time constructively. This also applies to friendships of course. No one will want to abandon the coolest version of you who has interesting things going on all the time.

Also you can keep great hygiene without showering all the damn time. For some people it strips too much oil out of their skin and hair. You say feminism and then sound like you're honestly just brimming with internalized misogyny.

>>114558It's normal to have some sort of scent but it shouldn't be particularly unpleasant or strong. You definitely shouldn't need to do anything special like shaving or using scented products as long as you're showering enough. But yeah if you ask a doctor they can probably identify if it's healthy or unhealthy.

But should I trust a dealership more than both of those things, or …? It depends on the dealership I know, but thats where I'm most likely to find a MANUAL transmission cargo van. And then you forgot about companies selling their own cars and utility vans. Those are really good, possibly even the best because you know for sure a company goes out of its way to have a regular upkeep procedure. Might even be a promise of low mileage at times, because they frequently swap out their cars. If its a school or a church, the vehicle will probably have the least mileage of all. The best thing is if you can find a manual car or truck, people are willing to sell it for a lot less because nobody wants to buy them.

ok, first of all, yes, this is dumb. now with that is out of the way…
soooo, I never really cared that much about looks till in early college I heard a ton of insults about my looks.
I remember seeing the ID of myself and I looked so messed up, like a crack addict or something. This was at my fattest. I constantly felt unwell back then (was, like, 180 pounds and 5'6). I got to a slightly skinny weight for the first time in my entire life around 140, after living on my own for a while and I ended up getting so many comments about how old I look. There could be a random conversation and someone would make a jab at how old I looked. I got the "you look like someone's mom" comment constantly. People constantly disparaged me for looking like shit. I got "are you ill" comments from strangers. Apparently, losing weight didn't help.
So…it's been a few years and I have plateau'd at a slightly heavier 152. I workout more now. For some reason, I've gotten complete shock from people because they think I'm a high school. Again, in my area I'm very tall so it isn't that I'm petite.
I get this treatment from other people in their 20s too. Nurses slackjaw and say that I look 16 after seeing my birthday.
It has happened randomly 5 times in the past week…it's getting annoying.
I have never after the age of 16 been clocked as looking like a high schooler; people thought I was middle aged back then.
Is it possible that some people just look better at a very specific weight? What is happening? For so many years I had a dumb vain insecurity over looking old.
For some reason I just look kind of…cherubic now? Maybe not in a cute way. It's puzzling and I feel crazy. It wasn't like 140 was super skinny.
Anonymous 118825
>>118813>like a crack addict or something>This was at my fattestanon crack makes you really thin. In response to your question, your BMI went: 28.7, 22.7, 24.4
22 and 24 are both "healthy", so it's interesting that the lighter weight made you look older. I would say that being chubbier definitely does make you look younger, since teenagers normally put on a little weight to help with any final growth spurts/ general growth at the end of puberty. I'd say it's probably just fucked beauty standards that made people think you looked old (i.e. a healthy 20-something woman is old by virtue of being and looking over 20). The 'you look like someone's mum' comment could just be that a lot of 20 year olds are mums these days. It's always trippy to me that when I was a kid, I thought all mums were at least 30, but now I realise that they're only 30 by the time you're 8, which is also around the time I started thinking about that stuff. Idk, sorry for the ramble, enjoy looking young I guess, I sort of envy you but I can appreciate why it's confusing.

Do I need to get an std test if I'm a virgin? I keep hearing people say EVERYONE should get tested but I don't understand how I could test positive. The only information I can find online is stuff that dodges the question by saying "well um technically there are different definitions of virgin that might not count oral or anal so yeah a virgin can get one," I'm trying to ask for the case that you have had ZERO sexual contact, counting all forms of sex
Other than that, I've heard that you can get one if you do drugs or kiss or get a blood transfusion or if your mom had one when you were born, and none of those apply to me either. So why do people keep indiscriminately urging everyone, including me, to get tested? Why is it encouraged for "all adults/teens" instead of "all people who have sex"
Anonymous 121270
>>121263I think they say "all adults/teens" instead of "all people who have sex" because there will be some people who say, "Well, technically, I've only done oral/anal…" and not get tested when they actually could have an STD. Because, you know, people are ignorant.
On the movie Precious, the mother insists she couldn't have AIDS because they "never did it up the ass." Just an example of how people are misinformed about the transmission of STDS.

hi anons…is it normal to feel your throat/lungs/burn hurt and burn for a day or days after you work out a little? I ran for 1 minute yesterday and did 10 jumping jacks and I'm still in pain. A sore throat drop helped a little today though the feeling is incredibly unpleasant, it's like I'm recovering from an illness.
I do have asthma though it's getting really dumb trying to exercise every day and have this happen. I also am not fat (I used to be).
does this feeling of being in pain at barely any exercise go away after keeping at it?

I had an IUD, because the pills didn’t help with my intense and irregular periods. Now, I just heard that women have A-spot which is supposed to be located between our cervix and bladder.
I’m worried that I just irreparably damaged the cervix with IUD and thus, won’t ever get to try A-spot.
I’m also frustrated that I heard about the existence of the A-spot too late, because it’s probably too risky to stimulate it with the strings hanging out, right?
Does A-spot even exist?
I mean, G-spot makes sense, since it’s connected to the clitoris, but I don’t understand A-spot.
(I would like to stimulate mine, if it exists, because I’m lonely and need a distraction from this shit life.)

Since I’m a lesbian (goldstar if it matters) I’m puzzled by one thing.
Is it true that straight women can become ”cock-drunk” and very much enjoy giving blowjobs and doing other degrading things? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
It’s like orgasming from seeing someone else eat chocolate, except it’s worse than that. You’re choking on a sweaty crusty skin tube, your eyes are watering, your mouth is full of bitter slime and pubic hairs, and your scrote talks to you like you’re a cheap prostitute. How can anyone enjoy that, let alone beg for it?
Anonymous 135359
>>135356It's about devotion and worship.
Think about yourself. Don't you fantasize about kissing a girl whole until
you reach between her legs, rubbing your face against her, getting slimy as you watch/listen to her get more flustered, licking and sucking on her until she cums, smothering your face with her pussy and squishing you with her thighs? Wouldn't you get high/drunk thinking of how much you pleasured her and made her attached to you? It's just like that, except your partner is male and comes with some spoiled milk.
I don't fantasize about this but my "crusty" moid does.
> You’re choking on a sweaty crusty skin tubeMy pussy is sweaty and hairy too…so what. Just wash up if you're that conscious about genitalia. If you date a dirty moid that's on you tbh
>doing other degrading thingsDegrading according to whom? Nothing is degrading if you are in love with your partner. It's degrading when you feel like he doesn't love you and you know he calls you slut/whore/etc in a disrespectful manner. It's not degrading when you're in a context and words like "slut" mean "needy/lustful/hungry for touch." The point is that those words are explicit/sexual so they help with the "high" of feeling lewd. I call my moid boyslut and he gets so flustered it's adorable.

>>135356It's not that we enjoy doing it per say, it's more that we enjoy pleasing someone we love. There have been so many times I am compiling a grocery list while blowing him and viewing the whole thing as another boring chore instead of getting any sexual gratification off it.
There are also the more complex themes of what does it mean to be a social animal that requires approval from the tribe for survival (evolutionary wise) while being a modern woman who has been brainwashed from before birth to learn your place as a woman. Do I enjoy something because I enjoy it, or do I enjoy something because the patriarchy has rewired my brain to tell me I enjoy it? There's no true way to tell, but you can definitely gather hints from how mentally healthy a woman performing the action is. A woman who says she a free sexual being and proves this by taking home a new man every night yet has to be drunk to do it and is depressed and lifeless in her day to day life? She's either lying to us, or lying to herself. She doesn't want to do that, but she's been conditioned into believing that she has to, or else she will lose her place in the tribal hierarchy. Meanwhile a women who writes poems to little acclaim and some disgust at the subject matter yet takes walks daily and has a fulfilling social circle? That women is writing gross poems because she wants to.
So ultimately, we sexually please men while getting nothing in return rarely because it's sexually gratifying to us, and more frequently because we're either doing it as a form of self harm or as an act of service to someone we love.

That kind of ”cock-drunk” I mean.

>>135391>You mean, he doesn’t care that you don’t want it that much?I can't know for sure, I've never been a man, but from what I've observed and questioned, it seems men's views on your sexual pleasure fall into four categories.
1) He know you're not having fun and he doesn't care. This guy sucks and is most commonly found in high school, college, and one night stands. If he does manage to find a wife, they end up divorcing because him not caring about her orgasm is only a symptom of an overall douchey, non caring personality.
2) Thinks you're having fun. Self centered enough that he never bothered to learn to read women's body language so he thinks if you aren't saying no, that it's a silent yes. If you ask for change directly, he'll usually jump to it, but his brain telling him how awesome sex is translates into him thinking that you're also having a great time.
3) Insists you're having fun. This sex positive, liberal guy is super weird and thankfully, kinda rare. He goes to strip clubs and makes the strippers tell him how much they love doing this and how empowered they are before he gives them a dollar. If you say you don't want to try bondage, accuses you of being sexually constipated and uses feminist language to bully you into doing what he wants. This guy can be an iteration of guy number one, but more often he truly believes that you need to be freed from yourself in order to have fun and he's going to be your messiah.
4) Actually cares. This guy is usually the grown up version of number two. Having been around the block a couple of times, he realizes that sex is a dance and so know when you're out of step. He'll be pounding away, close to cumming, and realize you're no longer moaning and he'll stop immediately to find out what's wrong. When you say you're not feeling it, he shuts everything down and you two ending up cuddling and talking with no further mention of sex or his needs. Unfortunately, this guy is usually snatched off the dating market before 23 and doesn't reappear until the divorces start happening in your thirties, but now has a couple of kids in tow.

Question–has anyone had longterm fatigue managed to overcome it? I was a very slow kid but back then I was obese (up until I was in college, I'm the skinniest in my entire life at 23 BMI now). However, losing weight didn't at all help.
Today? I woke up with my eyes feeling like they are exploding and black circles around them and incredibly exhausted with horrible neck/head pain. This is normal for me.
Normally, I can't even go out for hour an hour without feeling dizzy and incapable of intelligent speech. I feel so wired and fucked up by the time I get home.
I know for a fact I can feel better because years ago after an extremely strange day+night, I slept in and woke up feeling amazing and everyone I knew immediately noticed I looked so much younger and fresher instead of like "death" (which I heard constantly from these same people). I also snapped some photos and they were right–I looked so much better with my forever sunken black circles 100% gone. In fact, my speech disability went away and I was able to speak well for once and think of stuff to say on the fly.
Some days are better than others and rarely I do have very short periods of time where I feel decent. I haven't woke up feeling refreshed since that one time, though.
I assume it's probably just all in my head but I do feel like shit and I am not sure what to do. Already got basic blood tests done. I had a iron, zinc, and D deficiency in spite of eating foods high in all 3 constantly and I've been supplementing.

A method I use is the spoon method, where I wake up and estimate how many "spoons" I have for the day. If I have three spoons, two goes to working, and one might go to taking a walk or getting groceries. This helps me plan my life with my energy levels in mind.
For the record, I have tried every supplement recommended to me, have gotten a clinical sleep study done, and have been having this issue for years.

>>160473Hmm, it's somewhat sore but it also feels sharp and is mostly on the right side. Now that I think about it has been hurting on and off, usually for days at a time.
Admittedly I'm a bit spooked because I did have surgery on it a few years ago–it was slightly deformed and hard to breathe through. It's just hard to believe it might be having trouble now after all this time.
I'm seeing the ENT in a month so I'll ask then.

>>143603This definitely isn't in your head, this is a medical issue. The symptoms are vague enough that it could a bunch of things, but I can suggest where to start. The sleep fixing your issue sounds like it is a sleep issue. You may have something wrong with your nose, sinuses, or throat that is preventing you from sleeping deeply. It may be sleep apnea. If a doctor is too expensive at the moment, you can record yourself sleeping as well as download a sleep study app. Recording yourself will show how much you toss or get up, and the sleep study app might give you more details on which sleep levels you're reaching and for how long.
A vitamin deficiency might be the cause of your sleep issue. Try adding B12 and vitamin D and see if you see any improvement after a week.
If your healthcare is free, go see an ear, nose, and throat specialist and get referred for a sleep study.

How to you get eyes on your twitter art starting on a brand new account? I get the impression that using hashtags is seen as outdated and lame on there these days, but idk any other way.

>>160576You interact with people a lot. You like their stuff, or retweet something they've tweeted. Ask open ended questions to your audience so people can feel like there is a dialogue when you retweet something. Use trending topics to discuss your stuff. People will scroll through trending and see you. And make sure you're changing up your tweets. Each tweet should be personalized or you can get marked as spam for repeating the same thing every time.
