But like. Why do you think women’s day is more well known? Because men popularized it for them? Women popularized it for themselves, so it only makes sense that men’s day would be popularized by men.
Fwiw I’m not in a place where men wish a happy women’s day, let alone give flowers. Women usually post ‘happy women’s day’ images to group chats of other women.
We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?
One time I went on a dating app date, was nice. Met her again at a party, went on for drinks just the two of us, made out, she walked me home. Then I had a horrible, horrible bout of depression where I didn’t check my phone at all for about two months. So, that’s one instance of what’s going on in the persons mind.
I do this already simply because I shower at night and prefer to apply to clean skin. Always thought I was just a pretty unsweaty person. TIL

We have five bedrooms and one bathroom for five people. Well, usually more people because there’s always someone’s partner here as well. I used to share a bedroom and it’s horrible for my anxiety. I need the luxury of privacy.

The question is still to vague. Obviously all of his politics were the worst. But the way it’s phrased, you’d kinda have to agree he wasn’t ALL bad if, for example, he made a pretty tasty pasta sauce. Like. Not that it’d be relevant. It’s the vagueness of the question that I’m critiquing. Maybe I’m just having an autism moment.
Honeybees are unfortunately only a very small part of pollinators. There’s a LOT of other bees, as well as other insects that pollinate. And honeybees even often outcompete native pollinators, which is bad for biodiversity.
Not close to as evil as the others for sure. But there’s a lot of labor that goes into making music and into touring that she didn’t do herself. Does all her talent make it right that she makes thousands of times more money per hour of labor as all those others?
Nice of you to try to help, but I don’t think the people who post in this community are open to learning
I hope I’m going to be you in the future. I’m in my late 20s and straight up not having a good time, health-wise.
Very true, even in a less life/death situation. Example, a piercing hurts much much more than stubbing your toe, but people, myself included, keep coming back for more of them.
Just curious, how are you after that? I trust my helmet and feel safe about my head, but I’m worried about fractures.
It’s a good, important step that you know this about yourself. But yeah, for both of your long term happiness, as well as for your friendship, it’ll be very important to talk about the kind of relationship you have. Even if it’s super tough and mightn’t have the outcome you’d like. But the resentment it would inevitably breed if you couldn’t date because you don’t know where you stand with your friend wouldn’t be healthy for your friendship. Maybe it’s easier to not do it all at once?
Either way, your situation sounds tough. Best of luck to the both of you!
Bit of a different take from many of the other comments.
Relationships don’t have to be the way they are traditionally. You don’t have to be monogamous. You can be in two relationships, one of which is romantic, one of which is a strong friendship with sexual aspects. It’d be under the polyamory umbrella. There’s plenty of potential partners out there who are ok with or would even want this kind of a constellation.
The very important caveat though: even more so than in any other kind of close relationship, this requires a LOT of communication. You need to clarify with your best friend what kind of a relationship it is that you have. You don’t have to label it, but you have to figure out together what you want from each other and what your boundaries are. The latter includes what kind of relationships you’re ok with the other one having with someone else. Then, when you date someone else, you have to have the same conversations and be open about your other relationship(s). I’d be upfront about the latter, the former can happen over time.
If none of this sounds like something you’d want, that’s of course perfectly valid. The point stands though that you need to clarify with each other what you want from your relationship and what your boundaries and needs are. This might mean having to change your relationship dynamic.
Some context: my best friend and I are super close and find each other sexually attractive, but aren’t romantically interested in each other. We’ve talked about that and keep checking in. We’ve done some second base things and cuddled. I now have a partner that’s decidedly monogamous. Now, I might still lightly cuddle with my best friend, but we wouldn’t kiss anymore. Those are all boundaries that had to be talked through.

I’m not a hardcore gamer, but usually mostly into RPGs. But I’ve also got hundreds of hours in stardew and thousands in the Sims. When I play one of those, I’m always low key scared to grow bored because I LOVE those games and I know that there won’t be another good one right around the corner.
When I got bored of Skyrim, I played the Witcher, and when I got bored of that, I played Fallout. Repeat ad nauseam, because there’s more playable, entertaining RPGs out there than any one human could play in a lifetime.
With cosy games, not so much. When you grow bored of one, chances are, there won’t be another one that’ll be enjoyable to you at all, and you’ll have to hope and wait that something good will come out at some point.
Pretty sure you have to pay if you back out as well, so that’s not an incentive to kill you either.
Thank you so much for your concern, I appreciate it! But I’m not in an unhealthy environment! There’s usually a feminist march happening on women’s day, which I like to attend. I guess it’s just culturally a little different. I do like your idea tho, haha
ETA: thinking about it some more, I often hear it called day of the feminist fight instead of women’s day, at least in my leftie circles. So I guess my experience is just that it’s more about the feminist fight than it is about wholesome appreciation of women. As such, I guess it has less mainstream appeal. It’d be nice to have both, though!
