just what the title says

hi! i wear makeup on a daily basis usually for work but i never wear foundation and have only ever really worn it for a special occasion like prom. i’m going to a halloween party this weekend and i kind of want to do the whole makeup look for it which i would want foundation/a base for. my problem is is that i have textured and dry skin…not like to the extreme or anything but a normal amount and whenever i’ve worn foundation in the past it doesn’t look good or ends up looking really cakey, even when i’ve had it done by a makeup artist. i know bb cream is something people have recxommended as an alternative before but i wanted some advice on what would be the best/what you guys do to help with texture…thank you in advance!!!:)

Someone pls explain to me what exactly a situationship is 😤

I just met this new guy weeks ago after being single for 8 months out of a 9 year relationship, fast forward to now we’ve became touchy but haven’t officially had sex… due to my birth control I have lots of discharge which is now normal to me which is why I wear panty liners daily. Since we have become touchy, I noticed that he feels something in between when he tries to be touchy but doesn’t bring it up or mention it, but I also don’t want him to think it’s weird for me to be wearing something thick to where he can’t actually do what he’s trying to do.. what do y’all think? I feel kinda embarrassed because he swears he’s doing something but I am literally protected by the panty liner LOL 🫠 do yall also wear a panty liner!????

How long do the pills take to be effective? I was on them a few years ago but was too young to care abt that stuff. Im on the 4th day of my period I think and I think it’s usually like a week long tho it’s been a bit funky lately. I am supposed to be getting it tomorrow the 29th, do we think it would be effective by Saturday or is that way to early? I got a few different answers on Google so came here to see yalls experiences. I got 2 days 5 days and 7 days when I searched it.

so there's a guy I find really attractive in my uni class and I found his Instagram we don't have any mutuals or anything is it gonna be weird if I just randomly follow him his account isn't even his name or anything either😭😭 I just wanna follow it so that ik whether he has a gf or not

Hey so for about a year I was cutting myself baby bangs, mini bangs, and eventually micro bangs. I spent all summer growing them out into some pretty cool emo side bangs but decided I wanted to even them up so they could be normal bangs but I fucked up and they are now mini bangs. They also start in the middle of my scalp, are too thick, and are too long length wise. Please help what do I do? I just want some nice, normal length bangs. I’d need to grow them about 2cms to be normal length!!!

What are some ways to hide hickeys? I have work tomorrow and apparently I’m dating a vampire. Normally my concealer and powder works fine but I wanna make sure you REALLY can’t see them. I don’t have color corrector but last time I did use it my mom ended up being able to see them still update: I slept with a heating blanket on my neck and they look to be super faded

I currently work full time for my company and planned on leaving as I'm emigrating. My manager has asked me to stay on as they need the help and finance won't give them budget to fill my position. I like the company and the thought of a flexible/remote working position (6 months contract) works for me. I'm moving to Toronto where the cost of living is higher however I only plan to work 25 hours a week. How do I ask about salary as well as approach this conversation with my manager?

Hi everyone, so my problem at the moment is that I literally can’t make female friends. Idk why and this is NOT supposed to sound pick me or anything at all but since high school I’ve pretty much only had male friends. I’ve had around 3-4 really close girlfriends since I was 13 (I’m now 17). But my female friendships never last :( in general I’m pretty okay with just having a couple of close friends, but recently I’ve been really wanting to make new female friendships but I’m just really struggling. I think maybe the reason I can keep my male friendships is because there such low maintenance, like you can go a whole month without seeing them and nothing changes. Also I’ve never really had a group of just girlfriends so idk I just want any advice on making new female friends cause I always find it really hard to keep the girls I’m closest with. Advice please!! Anything’s helpful:)

Update: he’s acting like absolutely nothing happened rn. But tbh I can’t decide if I even wanna talk about it anyways. So I was with my bf again today and we fooled around a bit and I was messing around with him and he was being boring so I jokingly said he dident love me. I see how he can be mad but I’ve also never had someone be mad at me over that. Well he picked me up and raised his voice so I made him put me down and he liked yelled at me. One thing abt me is I have been in abusive situations and have panic attacks when I’m yelled at. I started crying which is my first time crying around him and he comforted me a bit but still had his voice raised. The entire car ride was quiet except when he heard me sniffle he asked what’s wrong and once he was rubbing my arm with his finger but I moved away. When we got to my house he sighed and got out and my mom and dog were outside so I said I’d text him after he asked what was wrong but I did make him hug me. I understand why he’s mad but he’s never been that way twords me even when we have fought in the past and it really did scare me. 5 minutes before we were laughing and then he snapped. Earlier that day he punched a locker so hard hours after school his knuckles were still red. Did I get myself into a bad situation? He loves me and I love him but I dident think he’d ever be that way twords me. He even cussed in my face.

okay so, i’ve been having discharge ever since my bf gave me oral. discomfort, itchiness and so much discharge. so i figured it was a YI. so i went to my first OBGYN place and they swabbed me and confirmed it the same day that its a yeast infection. so i took diflucan, so many times. never worked. discharge never stopped, discomfort never stopped. so i went to a new OBGYN anddddd i got swabbed on friday, and it got sent to the labs, so just today (monday) i got results and i dont have any yeast or bv which is so confusing cause for 6 months ive been struggling with this discharge and sometimes discomfort and pain so im just confused on what to do. i’ll message or call the new OBGYN tomorrow to see what it could be and maybe discuss it more.

i wish i could say that im relieved i dont have anything but im not. i’m so confused. because the discharge is usually activated with heat. i can’t take a normal warm bath or shower or go in the hot tub without stuff coming out of me. so like?? ugh.

what else could it be? my PH balance being off?? how do i fix that? how do i even check my PH balance? help!!

My (23f) boyfriend (30m) just left, and... I don't even know what I feel. Tbh I've been questioning my sexuality for a long time now and he knows this. But he keeps coming back over telling me I just need more "experience" with guys. You know, intimately... to know that it's what I really want. But every time he... is "with" me... it really doesn't feel like what I want :( I don't know maybe I'm not doing it right or maybe he's right and I need to just let myself go with it a little longer and it'll make sense. Every time I bring it up with him that I'm confused or my feeling towards girls he gets really angry and just tells me I don't know what I want because I haven't had enough practice. I don't know what to do if I leave him maybe he will get so very angry to me :(

hey yall so i got into some legal trouble and i need to make like 1500-2000k like asap i have 2 weeks max, any tips?

Okay so ever since I got my period it’s just decided it wants to take a break in October with no explanation. I’m still a virgin also so it can’t be pregnancy or anything like that. Can anyone tell me what might cause this to happen. I saw something on TikTok about moon cycles but I really don’t know 😭

fuck it. 22f, looking for other girls w a similar experience

basically for a good portion of my teen/early 20s, i put romance on a pedestal like u see in movies, anime whatever. i didnt want to settle for just anyone. it got to a point where i genuinely considered myself as asexual. i seldomly felt any romantic or sexual attraction to anyone, even if they were objectively attractive ppl (im unlabelled w a strong preference for men). because of this, i now lack major sexual experience. whilst this was partly due to low self-esteem too, i dont really feel shame for lacking that experience. 

i think there has only been one guy i actually liked and we didnt even do anything sexual. i think what i liked about him outside of physical attraction was that he genuinely seemed really chivalrous and considerate of me. ive gone further w other guys but knew i never really liked them in the full sense of like ‘getting butterflies’ and when things were sexual, i either pretended to enjoy it or only liked it in a purely physical sense and nothing else.

the problem is that i basically finished uni and dont really know any guys since ive moved cities. i tried hinge again for the first time in like a year or so. most of the men are mid. i dont fw ppl who either send one text a day or ppl who want me to commute to their shitty flat so we can hook up. and most of the dates ive been asked out on, they want me to split the bill. nothing wrong w going halves especially if ppl are low on money but i dont really want to settle for a guy who supposedly likes me but cant even treat me to a cheap coffee.

im in this weird dilemma where to be completely blunt, i cant stop craving a bf and wanting to have sex. which again is so unnatural for me in some ways cos i never felt this way when i was fresh at uni, u know where there was a surplus of ppl down to hookup. and no amount of reading romance manga or masturbating or whatever else can fix this shit. like how tf do u even meet decent ppl once u graduate. i genuinely feel like i cant get this off my mind. 

just found out my boyfriend of 3 years was paying for onlyfans one year into our relationship. he spent over $100. on nudes. anyways i need advice, and not just “leave him”. on new years i found out he was looking at their accounts on tik tok but i never thought he would actually be stupid enough to pay for it, not to mention i joked with him multiple times that men who pay for that are by far the stupidest men to exist and he would laugh along with me. but anyways something told me to check his bank statements and sure enough there it was i searched up “only” and it was all there. one of them was $50 and i need someone to tell me what the $50 is for, he said it’s for recharging the account but i don’t believe it i think he bought a personalized video or maybe even video chatted the girl idk.

My friend is in a situationship that’s been going on for like 9 months now, they’re technically dating they’re “exclusive” however I couldn’t help but stalk him and I think he’s being unfaithful. He has been in the past…

There’s this chrome extension where you can see the following order for accounts you follow and his most recent follows are all thirst trap accounts and specifically a girls private account that only has 45 followers, the profile being a picture of her ass in the mirror (he doesn’t follow her main). She is also the last person to follow him.

He just started fifo like 3 weeks ago so obviously has the perfect opportunity to be unfaithful.

I know it’s none of my business which is why I haven’t said anything cos i feel I’ve already kind of crossed a boundary by stalking him in the first place but the thought of her not knowing about all this really eats at me. She’s such a nice girl and I and all of her other friends tell her allll the time she deserves so much better than him. (He does not treat her well).

If you were in this situation would you say something or just leave it for her to find out herself.

Please don’t grill me I saw the chrome extension on TikTok and was bored I know that I shouldn’t have done that :)

Met a guy the other week, he told me he was bi, so I was like okay cool! He asked to hang out, and I agreed thinking nothing of it. But he asked to pick me up in his car (and he said, to leave a good impression), would force me to wait so he could open the car door for me, and he seemed very nervous/would get red in the face when we were speaking. I didn’t want to give off the wrong impression so I told him that I wanted to split the bill, but he refused and paid for everything himself. Since then he has been constantly asking to hang out even though I told him that I would be busy awhile back. I’ve hung out with guy friends before platonically and it has all been fine, but I got the strong impression from that he had romantic intentions.

I don’t want to assume that he’s pursuing me since he hasn’t said it explicitly but I really do not want to pursue a friendship with him anymore, since he’s also not a personality I can spend too much time with

Teenage boys are terribleeeee. This isn't new news but omg it so bad and it's getting worse. It is insanely hard to find a guy who is nice, isn't weird or a freak, is loyal, etc, etc. It's gotten so bad to the point where teenage girls like myself littery have a thing for older guys for one reason. They don't act like teenage boys. TEENAGE BOYS DONT JUST WANNA TAKE U TO THE AMUSEMENT PARK, A NICE PLACE, OR HOLD HANDS ANYMORE AND ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Like guys when is it my turn 😐

I’m not a person who usually has bad cramps but sometimes when my diet is unhealthy in the days leading up to my period my cramps are worse. I haven’t drank a lot of water the last couple days and I had fast food two days in a row so my period cramps are pretty bad right now. I have liquid advil because I can’t swallow pills for an unrelated reason, but it’s hard to drink it because it’s kind of scratchy on my throat. I have a heating pad which is helping but I’m still in pain. I also have severe anxiety which combined with my cramps are making me restless like I can’t sit still. I’m trying to drink water but I can’t drink too fast or I might get nauseous for unrelated reasons. TMI but I keep having to poop like every 20ish minutes. If anyone has methods to get rid of my cramps or make them more manageable please let me know.

Hi, everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this sort of question, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

I (20F) was in my college dining hall a while ago when this guy (18M if I had to guess) came up to me and asked me if I had a Snapchat. For the sake of clarity, I'll call him Jay. I do have a Snap, and as he seemed friendly at the time, I gave it to him. He then asked for me to sit with him, and I politely told him that I prefer to eat alone. He accepted that and went back to his friends, who were laughing about the whole thing. I thought that was that, and I went back to my dinner.

A few minutes later, Jay sends me a Snap of his food and starts texting me from across the dining hall. I jokingly asked why he felt the need to do so, and he told me that he "needed to sure I gave him an account that worked". I wasn't sure why at the time, but it creeped me out. I tried to focus on my food, but eventually became so uncomfortable by his attitude and his pushiness that I cleaned up and left.

Every day since then, Jay has sent me at least 5 Snaps/chats to me per day, and I gave him my Snap in mid-September. They range from him to saying hi to sending me random pics of his food, though he more recently asked if he could take me to dinner sometime. I didn't open any of these until today, partially because I don't use Snapchat a lot in general. That said, another part of me just doesn't want to talk to him. He's not unattractive or mean or anything, but my gut keeps telling me to stay away.

When Jay saw I opened everything, he asked what took me so long. I replied that I don't use Snapchat very much, and he gave me his phone number and told me to text him. He's sent me 6 Snaps and 2 chats since I got his number, which I haven't opened. I just want him to get the hint to leave me alone, but I don't want to make him angry in case he tries to do something. I struggle with confrontation as it is, so the idea of telling him to go away scares the hell out of me, especially since I don't know him very well.

So, I ask all my fellow ladies: what do I do here? Do I push aside my fears enough to tell him to go away and hope for the best? Do I keep ignoring him and hope he gives up? Any solution I can come up doesn't sound right, and I'm at a loss.

TL,DR: Guy has been bombarding me on Snap and trying to get with me; I'm not interested, and I don't know how to tell him that without making him angry/violent/whatever. Help?

hi guys🙁 i'm rlly struggling and i rlly wanna take like good titty pics (not for anyone else just for myself) but i literally do not know how. i need like angles that aren't weird and make them look big! ty😭

Hi ladies I (22F) have Endometriosis and PCOS but I’ve recently missed my period and had some concerning symptoms: boobs swollen and tender, wt gain, fatigue, constipation, vivid dreams. I’ve taken a test every day with them being negative. Any advice or suggestions? Input ? I also know we had sex around the time I was ovulating (or should’ve been, literally just did a TV ultrasound a couple weeks ago and saw all the cysts covering my ovaries) I’ll be happy either way, me and my partner have been trying for almost a year for a baby with no success however my partner (23M) recently lost his job so I’m in a weird spot right now.

I'm not talking about the smell of blood -- I'm talking about how I get 3x as sweaty as normal during the week leading up to and week of my period. Even if I take a cold shower, apply two layers of deodorant, and perfume I still smell fresh out of the gym halfway through the day. Does anyone else deal with this? What do you do to combat it? I can't use prescription strength antiperspirant because it gives me a reaction and I try to stay away from aluminum/toxic ingredients. Normally this works out fine for me but during this time of the month nothing works.
