You haven't raised daughters who have had to be around men in the dating pool who buy into this Alpha bullshit. I'm biased, but my daughters are stunning. They got the best of both of our genes. By your definition, they're both in serious relationships with beta males who succeeded in capturing their attention where the "Andrew-Tate-esque-alphas" failed miserably.
Sounds like you need a juice box & a nap, like me?
Is juice box a brand of gummy? Does it taste like fruit punch?
I think your priorities are out of order... She also said nap.... Naappp...
Yip. My gorgeous daughter is married to a young man who thinks the sun rises and sets with her.
My gummies are usually sour apple or blue raspberry, found out the hard way that peach was not the sleepy kind of gummy...made me not sleep, plus I was even more chatty which was a problem
MORE chatty. Man, you and I need to go to a bar sometime. We’d own that joint.
Can we put them in a pyramid????
Pour skittles in one bowl, m&m’s in another. Don’t look when reaching in and grabbing several. Eat. Enjoy. Don’t overthink it.
More like overpriced parking and a crappy gift shop.
It’s too late to nap. It’s called sleep now.
Haunted. Obviously.
That is just awful and I’m sorry that happened to you.
I absolutely agree. It starts with all of us, what we learned at home, and how we conduct our own personal lives.
I can’t second this more enthusiastically! I often appreciate the energy of people and groups without having the desire or time to interact.
My bunny is always one of the highlights of day and I talk to him a lot
Because you’re not a psycho
I think that’s a pretty large generalization and it will clearly vary by experience. I know maybe one person when I was younger that would have fallen into your description. I’d argue that perceiving kindness and caring as not masculine is a fantastic indicator that they’re probably not compatible with people with those characteristics and would thank them for making it so easy to weed them out as potential partners.
Even at 18 I was self aware enough to let him know that a great housewife & home maker was just not in my DNA. He loved me just as was, and to this day buys me power tools over flowers for my birthday.
My response wasn't "wow," it was "boo."
After 6pm PST, Gummies are always the answer
Yes, I love going to coffee (not copy...) shops and people watch. I like to listen in on people's conversations, too. And imagine what they are like outside of the coffee context. Sometimes just being in the vicinity of people is really enough.That is just awful and I’m sorry that happened to you.

I am eternally grateful that I had a dad who was simultaneously one of the kindest, smartest, most capable, generous, self sufficient, and nurturing people I have ever encountered and that my mom adored him for it. As ex military he could hold his own and as a CPA he was the primary breadwinner, but he was vocal that he happily would have been a stay at home dad when we were little. He adored being a girl dad - taking care of us, supporting us, teaching us, and letting us learn from our mistakes safely. It absolutely set my mental model for what a good human, parent, and partner should be.
Not everyone has to be nurturing to be a good person, but everyone who is should be celebrated for it regardless of gender.

I used to go to coffee shops to study and do homework in college. I’d put on earphones with classical music so I could focus and sit and work for hours. Just having the humanity and activity around me kept me awake, productive, and happy. I would leave so much more settled and mentally upbeat than if I had only studied alone in my apartment. A quiet library is a middle ground where it feels more connected than alone, but not as energizing as other public spaces (which is perfect at times.)

I love this so fucking much. And I want to hear the stories
Why are so many gummies raspberry?! It’s not a flavor I enjoy, but they seem to be the best for sleepytime.
I resemble this heavily.
I’ve never understood this either. I didn’t feel less when my salary was lower than my partner’s. And now that I make more? He thinks it’s delightful and brags about it.
What is depo? I am so confused. Like, I just know the gyno prescribed something because finally someone decided to step up.
It's a bc shot
Tonight mine are pineapple.
