Hey everyone. I’m having a rough night and would love to hear from y’all.

I’ve been in a relationship for a few months and it’s honestly just been bad. He’s lied to me about many things and it’s just made it hard to trust him.

Recently, he followed a new female. I confronted him about it and it was his coworker. Long story short, for some reason, he unfollowed her and then deactivated his account (which he does kinda often). But what was weird is that he unfollowed her.

I noticed that she blocked me. I think this is my last straw. I’ve never been this kind of person, looking at pages of girls who the guy I’m with is following. I just feel so fucking pathetic and bad that this girl blocked me. I watched her story once but I never ONCE I said anything, never said anything bad about her either to my bf. My issue has always been with him. But idk I’m just really sad I’ve let it get to this point- random people out there thinking I’m some unhinged woman when they likely don’t even understand why I’ve become the way I am.

God I just needed to rant.

this guy that i’ve been talking to since mid/late september pretty much friend zoned me this evening. i guess my first yellow flag that i missed was never even meeting up.

we had previously set up a date but it didn’t happen due to scheduling conflicts. we talked about scheduling another one, but it didnt stick. we continued texting and it was flirtatious here and there, but essentially we never got to test our chemistry in person.

anyway, i was friendzoned this evening. i brought up wanting to hang out if he was still interested because i certainly was still interested in him. however, he hits me with the news that he’s started seeing someone and would only want to maintain friendships for the time being. i felt a little blindsided because he then goes on to say he’s been unsure of his relationship status with this other person and that’s why he didn’t say anything sooner 😐 this guy strung me along for weeks and we texted EVERYDAY. am i wrong to feel kind of humiliated? he knew i was pursuing him. am i tripping or am i right to be surprised he would even suggest a friendship when we never even hung out? what is wrong with these guys??!

I am in the middle of episode two of this documentary series about young women who are somehow abducted, attacked, or harmed in some way while they are either out with friends, alone or at home. Its generally young women ages 18-25 but I just got started on this show and it is very eye opening. I am hoping you all take a look at it too. I am watching on Tubi.tv and that is a free movie streaming site you can watch on your phone or laptop. It doesn't download the movies so there is no malware attached to it. The shows sometimes have ads but this one surprisingly has very few. I hope you all stay safe. Edited to add, if you haven't gotten it already the title of my post is the title of the show

Saw one of them with my bf for the first time and yea im disgusted. Just seams women are just nothing more than sex objects and there sole purpose is to please men. So many naked and sex scenes of women... no wonder he likes the show lol. But also the rape scene the teenager who was made to marry a man from another group or whatever and then he rapes her like her sole purpose is to be his sex toy ? The show kinda just rubbed me up the wrong way really cause I thought it was discusting how the women are just used as sex objects really. And I don't mind sex or nudes scences in movies etc. Just found this abit over the top..... with the rape and showing all the naked women. Almost mad at my bf thinking I'd like to watch something like that to be honest sorry for the rant just wondering if anyone else feels the same about GOT

All of the really genuine, down to Earth ppl I know with lots of life experience who are "deep" have less friends.

The girls/women in the big groups with lots of bridesmaids etc, they seem to be more boring, chat surface level stuff.. Hard to put into worlds

Obviously some people have been very lucky to have loving mothers but it seems like about 8/10 women I have encountered have mothers who take most opportunities ridicule them or cut them down. Why is this?

My mother will be there in important ways but she will make sure to insult my weight or my hobbies or my relationship or my career or my education or my face or my clothes or my insert anything while she's at it.

I swear to God I would give anything for my mom to just be kind but it seems like most women I talk to say their moms are just like this too?

I kept a tampon in for 9 hours. Had no means of getting to a toilet. are there any precautions I can take to avoid TSS

I’m a girl that’s 14 turning 15 next year and is 5’1/2 at that age short for tall? I’ve been seeing a lot of people online saying it’s not short.

Everywhere I walk I feel like a giant too! I see 4’7 people walking back my view even the men are short and I’m sooo confused, I keep getting these comments from family member of friends of family members saying “WOW your getting tall!” Even though it’s been 2 years since I’ve seen them sometimes it’s less.

I’m confused asf rn, is being 5’1 and 2 not viewed at short anymore? Why is everyone shrinking.

What do you do when you crave physical intimacy when you are going through depression?

I am having a rough year, and I have stayed away from thinking about intimacy of any kind for several months. But for the past few days I have been thinking about intimacy even though I have been single for over 6years, I have been thinking about a boy I have forgotten, it’s just messy thoughts at this point.

I used to have a vibrator but i dumped before crossing over the country because of how shitty life has been. I felt like I couldn’t be thinking about sexual satisfaction when going through tough times, like how are my angels meant to come through for me if i can’t stay without it during this time (weird reasoning).

Anyways what do you do in this case? What would you advise me to do? I have no woman in my life to talk to. Thank you

I heard that I need to stop buying shitty target bras. What are some good brands that will last and I can wear daily but also mix in some cute stuff? I’m 36DD and the girls have lost spinal after 2 kids and nursing/weight loss.

Ladies how do we feel about that?? Knowing that someone who has talked so much trash about women especially child free women is going to possibly be our vice president and/or president if something happens to Orange dude.

GO VOTE 🗳️

I can not seem to embrace uncertainty as much as I wish I did, because I can not stop myself from often wondering how free really is our freedom of expression if there is even such a thing like freedom at all, especially to what extent is traditionally or conventionally feminine socioculturally gendered expression determined by nature and nurture or culture.

Do you think that feminine people are passive or submissive by default of nature or because of the nurture that results from this exploitative capitalist and patriarchal world having socioculturally conditioned, manipulated, gaslighted and perhaps even brainwashed everyone, since a very early age, to believe that feminine people are passive and submissive by default naturally in order to reinforce control to use and abuse feminine people basically like underappreciated slaves?

What if that binary opposition is illusionary as culture is also something that is technically part of nature anyway, in the sense that humans created culture, but nature created humans to begin with?

Guys would not feel the need to keep trying so hard for literal centuries to manipulate, control, conquer, dominate, tame and literally domesticate feminine people into a passive and submissive housewifery gendered role if feminine people were actually really designed wired oriented for that purpose by default naturally.

Do you think that there is any sense in someone even being both passive and submissive since submission is servicing as in actively giving and passivity is inactively receiving?

Feel free to share your life story if you think that you may have been conditioned, manipulated, gaslighted or brainwashed into passivity or submission and advice tips if you think you have succeeded in breaking free as examples.

For a little bit of background information, I'm a 16 year old trans masc person and the idea of shaving has always made me feel super dysphoric and my mother has been trying to pressure me into shaving because she believes body hair of any kind is "unhygenic".

Anyways, I finally decided to be brave and try it out for the first time tonight. I somehow really enjoyed doing it, the motion of going up and down my leg over and over was very theraputic and I liked the feeling of my legs being smooth. The entire time I was shaving I was getting excited over showing my bestie because they know how much I struggle with my own femininity.

I understand why people choose to shave now and will definitly be adding it to my routine. I started on my legs today and the arms will be my next victim.

The question above..

I’ve moved into student accommodation and cba to get my old toys from home + they’re kind of boring so I am looking for new ones.

I’ve heard good things from the rose toy?

I’m the type that can’t orgasm from penetration but I really enjoy the ‘full’ feeling.

Are rabbits vibrator any good? I know they’ve been a popular toy for awhile.

Im looking for specific recommendations so not just type but also brands maybe?

Sorry if this question is out of pocket but I didn’t want to post it in an NSFW subreddit and get weird responses lol

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice? I noticed today that when a male tries to enter, I’m unknowingly tensing my muscles down there, rendering it nearly impossible to have sex. I’m not sure if this is a subconscious response why I’m doing it, etc. I don’t even realize I’m doing it, how can I stop? Has this happened to anyone before, what did you do to help?

Thanks!

So this is a bit of a funky one. I’m 21, healthy bmi, don’t have acne and a pretty good diet. Now I already have suspected endo awaiting laparoscopy (although I’m hesistant atm since I’ve reduced inflammatory foods which has reduced my symptoms).

I was tested twice for pcos. Told I was too young the first time then tested again (ultrasound and bloods) My GP then called me after the last one and said it “looks like there is some polycystic ovaries” and said it seemed the same in the first test too WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I WAS TOO YOUNG!!

Then, when I recently went to the hospital to discuss my potential endo with a gynae specialist sorta doctor, I mentioned I was told I had pcos and he said it doesn’t look like I have PCOS looking through my data?

Now on top of this, I have another confusing part. My cycles were very irregular for as long as I can remember. 2023 I had 6 periods, cycles ranging between 47-72 days. 2022, I had 7 periods, cycles ranging between 26-111 days.

This year I was suddenly more regular. Between 35-44 days, it was far more predictable up until my last my last cycle which was 50 days and I’m currently on my 63rd day of this cycle. I AM NOT PREGNANT, and I have to make this clear because I have had doctors ask me to take pregnancy tests even after I’ve said I take them repeatedly just to be aware even though I am safe.

I don’t know what’s going on and my doctors seem confused too.

Any ideas or anyone similar?

Usually I got with sorry I have a boyfriend and I’ll make my boyfriend sound like scary and possessive and stuff to try to scare them away. And it usually works but like I also feel bad because my boyfriend is so sweet and doesn’t even care if I talk to guys (as friends of course). Because like I reject them and they’re like no I just want to be friends and then like I’ll have to say my boyfriend doesn’t let me be friends with guys. But like is there something better to say or do you think that is the safest option?

And what about when they are super persistent and they are someone you can’t avoid? Like someone in your school for example.

Is there a song that makes you feel super feminine and coy? Something you listen to and catch yourself smiling from ear to ear for how darn adorable it makes you feel?

So, I'm twenty five and I tend to find that people think I'm sixteen / nineteen instead of in my mid twenties and I can find that...to be a little awkward. Since, I'd rather be viewed as my age.

I get it though. I'm a somewhat baby-faced blonde which people tend to associate with being younger (not that twenty five is old, but hopefully you get me).

Of course I'm told this a blessing but personally I don't want to be viewed as a teenager. At the very least I want to look of age instead of being viewed as a minor. You know.

A lot of advice that I've seen is aimed at men such as grow a mustache, which is not something I can do. Nor would I particularly want to do so.

Are there any ways that women can purposefully look older? I'm thinking about cutting my hair short and dyeing it to be darker.

I keep testing myself.
Yesterday I thought I liked a girl, but then I realized it's a feeling I face with all girls I want to take care of. I just want to take care of them. And I can't imagine myself trying to pleasure a girl as I would for a guy. I was back to 'straight' this afternoon- feeling straight about myself I had no issues ogling women I usually stare at their boobs more than their faces and then decide if I should feel bad about mine. I chase the men I like, I proactively chase them. I will text them send them requests and stuff, I can only do it online, I don't like any guy in my offline life. I will try to talk to them, get close to them and make a bond. But I need to like the face of the guy and it can only ever be a guy if I have to date and satisfy I know it.
Then this evening I went to talk a walk and I saw a girl who wasn't wearing a lot of clothing, but I had like an adrenaline rush, Like danger situation. I usually have these adrenaline rushes when I see my male crush approaching or I get my exam question sheets. When I am not gatekeeping myself I might stare at those women longer without any attraction or lingering feelings.
What should this feeling be? Why am I not able to stop myself from gatekeeping my actions around women now? I feel scared of them. I am scared I will fall for them, but then that is still a thought a fear and not a fact that I could. And It has made me avoid them.

Ah, the daily ritual of face washing—an act so fundamental that it’s almost second nature. You dutifully cleanse your skin each morning upon waking and again at night before surrendering to slumber. Simple, right? Yet, lurking within this seemingly uncomplicated segment of your beauty routine are potential pitfalls that could be sabotaging your skin’s health and appearance.

Some innocuous habits might be preventing your complexion from achieving its optimal state—fresh, luminous, and vibrant. Let’s delve into these common face-washing missteps you might unknowingly be making at the sink. With a few strategic adjustments, you’ll be well on your way to unveiling clearer, more radiant skin.

Hot Water: Your Skin’s Hidden Enemy

You may indulge in the comforting embrace of hot water, just as you relish a steaming shower. But here’s the catch: for a truly effective cleanse, opt for lukewarm or cool water instead. Hot water can strip away your skin's natural moisture, prompting it to retaliate by producing excess oil in a desperate attempt to combat dryness. Moreover, it dilates blood vessels beneath the skin, leading to an unwanted flushed and reddened appearance.

Hands Off: The Importance of Cleanliness

Before you even think about touching your face, put down that phone! Your hands are a breeding ground for bacteria, and transferring those germs to your skin can wreak havoc on your complexion. Always ensure your hands are clean before embarking on your cleansing journey.

The Great Cleanser Conundrum

Choosing the right cleanser is akin to finding the perfect partner—it must complement your skin type. A cleanser that’s too harsh can leave your skin irritated and inflamed, while one that's overly gentle may necessitate excessive scrubbing just to feel clean. Seek out a creamy or hydrating cleansing lotion if your skin is dry to normal; a gel or foaming cleanser works best for combination or oily skin. If acne is a concern, a wash featuring salicylic acid can work wonders. Remember, opt for sulfate-free products to avoid undue irritation. Consulting with a dermatologist can provide invaluable guidance tailored to your unique needs.

Less is More: The Perils of Over-Washing

It’s a common misconception that washing your face more frequently translates to better skin. In reality, over-cleansing can age your skin prematurely and provoke an oil overproduction. Ideally, limit your washes to twice a day, with the option to cleanse post-workout when sweat and grime take their toll.

Morning Cleansing: Don’t Skip It!

Even if you believe your skin is pristine upon waking, washing your face in the morning is essential. Overnight, oils and impurities can accumulate on your skin—think of all those hours spent with your face nestled in your pillowcase. A quick splash of warm water is often sufficient if you’ve already washed at night.

Patience is a Virtue: Allow Products to Work

Most skincare products require time to perform their magic. When applying your cleanser, take a moment to lather for at least a minute, allowing the formulation to truly engage with your skin.

Rinsing: Don’t Neglect the Details

A thorough rinse is crucial; failing to rinse properly can leave a residue that not only dries out your skin but also clogs pores. Pay special attention to often-overlooked areas like your nose, hairline, and jawline.

Exfoliation: Tread Carefully

Exfoliation is a double-edged sword. While it effectively removes dead skin cells to enhance your complexion, excessive exfoliating can irritate and inflame. For best results, limit exfoliation to two or three times a week, preferably at night when your skin is busy regenerating.

Facial Wipes: A Quick Fix, Not a Long-term Solution

Cleansing wipes are undeniably convenient for those on the go, but they shouldn’t serve as a substitute for your regular cleansing routine. Once time permits, always return to your trusted cleanser to ensure a thorough clean. Wipes often leave behind residue, failing to eliminate all traces of oil and makeup.

Gentle Touch: The Right Way to Dry

Resist the temptation to vigorously rub your face dry; it may feel satisfying, but the tugging can harm your skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. Instead, embrace a gentle approach—pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel or washcloth. A baby washcloth, for example, is tender and less likely to exacerbate any sensitivities.

Moisturize: Timing is Everything

Apply your moisturizer promptly after cleansing. This crucial step locks in the hydration your skin has just received, making it easier for the nourishing ingredients to penetrate. When applied to slightly damp skin, your moisturizer can work more effectively, giving your complexion that coveted glow.

With these insights in mind, you’re equipped to transform your face-washing routine from mundane to magnificent.

I wanted to share something that's been weighing on me. In the lead-up to the US election, I’ve seen so many women - especially white, first-world women - celebrate the idea of voting for Kamala Harris as some kind of bold feminist choice. There’s talk about how inspiring it is to have a woman in the White House, and while I get why it resonates, it feels like American women are overlooking some serious contradictions.

The reality is that Kamala Harris has supported policies that contribute to human rights abuses, particularly in Gaza. Supporting her because of her gender while ignoring her stance on these issues feels like we’re closing the door on other marginalized groups. Women in Gaza, women in Palestine, and countless others impacted by American foreign policy don’t get the luxury of celebrating this choice—because for them, it doesn’t represent liberation or progress.

It feels like this has become a pattern: as long as white, first-world women’s needs are met, the door is closed. Is this what feminism is supposed to be? Only for those who look like these women or live in their countries?

I know Trump is worse in so many ways, but that doesn’t mean voting for Kamala Harris is a moral victory. It’s not. It’s a deeply painful choice for many women who care about ALL women, not just the ones whose lives are similar to their own.

Women must confront the truth that voting for Harris isn't an inspiring moment for feminism; it’s a reminder that mainstream feminism in America still has blind spots—and often shuts out those most vulnerable.

I just wish you could demand better, because women around the world deserve it.

I get onto my boyfriend for this all the time.

I am insecure about my legs, and I feel like most women experience the thigh gap/hip dip insecurity at some point. But SO often I get hit with the “but that’s what guys like” or “you’re just not your own type.” Yeah. Like exactly 😭

Is that supposed to make me feel better? That having big thighs and a big butt gets me sexualized by men?? I hate that shit fr. I just wanna feel good about myself. To feel confident and happy and pretty. To myself. When I look in a mirror. Some dudes really think they are the center of everything. :(

Hey - So, about a week ago, I ended up messing around with my boyfriend. I did get semen (just a little bit of it, though) on my hand, and in about 15 minutes or so, I proceeded to go to the bathroom. I didn’t go deep, but I ended up fingering myself, totally forgetting what had happened earlier… I’m not sure if it was the same finger, so I’m stressed out. What’s the likelihood of me getting pregnant? And how can I trigger my period to come sooner so I can stop this worrying!

Normally, I'd talk about such things on the smallbooblove subreddit, but I cannot post there somehow.

I cannot stress myself how many people, men and women included seem to love to claim how having big boobs or a hourglass figure tells us how the woman is supposedly "healthy and fertile". With the ability too to deliver easier then other women while having more then enough milk supply for the baby.

I have read after it even on the internet, and while wider hips do indicate that birth would be EASIER then to other women who have a more narrow hips. Everything else about big boobs biologically serving the purpose about appeariantly being more "fertile" sounds more like a theory you can easily disprove.

Both my aunt and my mom were curveless with small boobs. Less then A cups. And they delivered 4 kids with no issue what so ever. Fertility was also never an issue with them. Milk? Also none since I knew my mind. She had breastfed my bother for a very long time till she had to discourage him from it, because he was already old enough to stop and eat other things. Till that time, she still had more then enough milk. But it bothered her a lot because it was messy and uncomfortable feeding him with his teeth growing.

Point is: Many, many, many women who are curveless or breastless have no fertility issues what so ever or problems delivering a baby. And plenty of women who are big breasted have fertility problems or problems to feed their children with milk. Its almost a common sense if you are around people?

Yet many believe this so wildly and are ready to call us who are more to the flat area infertile and unwomanly, its pissing me off unnecessarily. In general, I hate these "well, biologically speaking" knights so much.

Sorry, I had to rant. XD

To the women out there, please just talk to him

I feel like every day I see a post here asking some variation of “why won’t he approach me” or “how do I get him to talk to me”. For the love of god, please, PLEASE, just talk to that man. I promise you nothing bad is gonna happen. Just initiate conversation. You are actively standing out from almost all of the competition by initiating conversation. It’s actually that easy. Save yourself the trouble of trying to figure out if the guy is into you and giving him hints and just do it yourself.

Edit: Personal anecdotes are not representative of all men. Blanket statements about men OR women are, in all honestly, super immature and reflect more on you than the people you complain about. Also, I should have worded this better but yes, obviously this won’t work 100 percent of the time. But with that said, the success rate is still going to be very high. I’m willing to wager most men will go their whole life being approached by very, very few women, if any at all. I’m not sure why this spawned so much anger but if something like this really makes you upset, you should probably take a deeper look inwards.

Final Edit: A lot of you guys/girls are single, and are probably going to be forever with the attitudes and views you hold. This post was meant as a confidence booster for any women who needed it, not as a place for people to spew their views on how a man/woman should or shouldn’t act. Nobody is telling you that you HAVE to approach men, or that women should be the only ones approaching. Just that it would probably simplify things quite a bit for you. You people need to grow up.

I’m living in a shared apartment with three girls (we’re all between 22 and 23). One of them has a room right next to mine, and the walls are really thin. She’s super strict about her routine — she goes to bed around 10:30 p.m. and expects no noise after that, even on weekends. Plus, we can’t just bring anyone over because she’s religious (not gonna go into details).

She’s already told me a few times that I’m “too noisy.” For example, I’m not supposed to talk on the phone after 11 p.m, even during weekends, because it wakes her up. This morning, she messaged me saying that my trips to the bathroom were waking her up at night. I have a UTI, so yeah, I’m going to the bathroom a lot, but I’m not going to hold it in.

She also said I was slamming my door, which isn’t true, because ever since she mentioned it when I first moved in, I’ve been trying to be as quiet as possible.

It’s really starting to bug me. She’s even argued with our other roommate about stuff like this. I don’t know how to make her realize she can’t just force her way of living on us; she doesn’t live alone.

What should I say to her ? I’m kind of a people pleaser and I think she’s taking advantage of this to complain a lot about me (she doesn’t do this with our other roommate), what should I say to her, so she can leave me tf alone

I have had a best friend well, I consider her my best friend but she never says I am her best friend, I understand with growing up and being grown at 23 people don’t say best friends haha unless they choose to..I have always had this flakey friend that only messaged me when other people wouldn’t message her or show her attention..I just brushed it off as adults being adults because lord knows everyone gets busy, things come up etc..but after some time I realized how much her flaking really truly hurt me.. she always does it last minute when I am dressed up feeling nice and I get that “sorry girl I can’t make it..” with an excuse before I see her out with someone else. The most recent incident of this is Halloween when after getting dressed up in my costume, she cancelled after making the plans in the first place..then proceeded to post with some guy before deleting it a short time after. As foolish as it was I tried not to cry before sending a quick its okay. It hurts always being the second choice but at the end of the day I know it won’t work.
