I used to be a guy who talked a lot of crap about baby mama's and all that. But I noticed a lot when I went out, restaurants and Walmart, movies, a LOT of baby mama's have gotten thicc asf, usually wear black leggings and make sure to keep a good straight face. because I talked crap, I've tried to ignore their looks so their egos didn't expand. But they've just gotten too thicc, and those black tights... awgh, I can't 😭😭My eyes drop down... big booty, then legs in the black tights and I'm like UHHHHH?😮😮😮😮😮😮. When I look up... smh... it's right into the poker face and I can't break through it😫! I now when I see one just offer to pay for whatever she's getting, pay her way... smh. Damn... I didn't think this could happen to me, damnnn☹️Are you one of these, and do u purposely stay thicc and wear those when u go out to see if guys who've acted like me react like I do?

I learnt recently that this is one of the things this world needs right now and this prompted this question. Life is full of offences and unkind people. How are you dealing? What your forgiveness philosophy?

What blood type are you? I’m blood type B+

My roommate all of sudden became extremely rude to me last week as well as our landlord (who I like). I blocked him on my phone so I don’t have to see his rude texts anymore. I still have to bump into him in the house though whenever we’re both getting something from the fridge. How can I deal with him? He’s moving in a 3-4 weeks so there’s that but I wish I would be gone now. And no I have no intention of moving I like where I live.

Part of what’s bothering me is that I feel like he was rude to me but I didn’t want to cause a situation so I just ignore him. But what I’d really like to do is call him out for being an asshole and have him be forecibly removed by our landlord.

I often wind up in odd, funny, strange and maybe even disturbing conversations, but the one I wanted to talk about today was how there was a time in my last school when, on my friends birthday, because she liked Black Butler so much, I addressed her in the manner of a butler the entire time we met and I carried her items for the day, spoke very formally and she even occasionally tried to see if she could break my personality by teasing me, but she then said she was super happy to have me doing this.

I don't know why, but for some reason I actually like the typical butler stance, it is quite comfortable for me, the problem is that if I want to enjoy that physical state every so often, people around me will assume I like acting like one a lot and so I also will have to reply like a butler while standing like one, the funny reality is that my real personality could never be be applied to a butler job, it is just a little hobby of mine to sometimes entertain friends.

The one arm in the front in the other behind is a comfortable way to stand but also has a reason in real life, it is supposedly something to do with ensuring that they bow correctly.

My life in and out of my friend group has always been a series of odd events because I love making them if I am with my family or with people who are not friends, but when I am friends, they are people who absolutely love to also create weird and funny days that stand among the rest, which just fuels my passion for it. I have been in a couple dangerous situations but we realised early enough to understand we should reconsider our actions ^__^

I'm a mature student in a foundation pathway to uni. Went to work immediately after high school and long story short I'm 29 attempting to pursue my first bachelors degree. A lot of my peers are 18-21 which is kind of strange for me but I look extremely (almost awkwardly) young for my age so people assume I'm in the same age group. There's this classmate I clicked with; we became friends because we bonded over assignments, hobbies and sports interests. Then she tells me that she's 16. She's a great person but this puts me in a very awkward spot. Would the best thing to do here be to keep it civil or cut it off?

Guys, so when you were growing up as a teenager could you speak to your parents about sex, or more specifically to your mother about it?
Did they try to talk to you about it, did you get the birds and bees talk?
Maybe you could talk to your Dad about it but not your Mum (mom) or vice versa.
Can you talk to them now as an adult about sex or still not a subject for discussion in the family?
If you're a parent of a boy, Mum or Dad, can you talk to your boys about it, do you talk about it?
I can't speak to my parents about and never have wouldn't want to either, but I think thats a generation thing, it just wasn't done when I was young.

Cause i i got none. I went to meetups a few times before covid happened. I might try that again but all my friends i grew up with either have families, full time jobs or both and i can't hang with them.

Which kid would you rather have? A child of your own blood who was an utter disappointment and failure, no matter what you did or how hard you tried to raise them, who fought you every step of the way?

Or an adopted child, who looks nothing like you, isn't the same ethnicity as you, and is the opposite gender of you, but is everything you can have hoped for and more?

EXAMPLE 1: You have a 15 year old daughter conceived of your own blood, and they look like you and/or the other parent. Regardless of your parenting skills, they are lazy, greedy, spoiled, entitled, narcissistic, a drama queen, abusive, manipulative, disloyal, and always hurting others, but claiming to be the victim. They are a constant marijuana and tobacco smoker. They can't even pass remedial, "special-learner" classes in school, and want to join OnlyFans when they turn 18, despite not being the least bit attractive or healthy.

EXAMPLE 2: You have a 15 year old adopted daughter. Regardless of your parenting skills, they are a black belt in martial arts (karate, tae kwon do, or jiu jitsu), the top student in their school, on course to graduate early, have won awards for youth science contests, is saving their virginity for marriage, and is overall a kind, helpful caring human being.

You can only choose one. Which one is better for you?
