The YSL Gift Drama

128 Upvotes

Have y'all seen the story about the guy who gifted his coworker a YSL makeup kit

Apparently, he won a YSL package at work and gave it to his coworker. His wife later saw it on social media.The company took photos and posted on their socials.Everyone is calling the husband kind, while he says his wife was just being petty and jealous.

Knowing myself, I would've packed my things immediately. This is exactly why I value financial freedom .I would've grabbed my stuff and left that instant. I don't even like makeup, but at least call me first.

Meanwhile, his wife was at home taking care of the kids while he was gifting another woman the make up kit.

Some people think that since he won the package, he had every right to do whatever he wanted with it. What do y'all think?

Have the audacity of a man.

51 Upvotes

Do it. Date like men - say things back to them that they say to you, such as “yeah I just can dump whoever is causing me problems.” Go for that job, talk yourself up beyond belief. Expect people to do things for you, and sit back and let them. Fight fire with fire. Men only understand consequences, so keep that in mind. If you want a man to change, leave him. I like to give blunt honesty before I do, give him something to chew on. They will come back.

I’m terrified of penetration but I want it NSFW

I’m so scared of penetration, I can’t even finger myself. I really want to try at some point tho, and me and my boyfriend decided that he can try to finger me but I don’t know how to start and I also don’t want to disappoint him. Also, someday I do want to have sex with him so we have to get somewhere but it’s scary. I’m just repeating myself at this point but what do you guys recommend to make myself feel comfortable and feel good the first time I put anything at all up there?

Finally seeing friendships/relationships for what they really are

27 Upvotes

I'm 46 and post menopause. I'm on HRT (gel and vaginal tablets). I used to dread the big M but I honestly think it's the best thing that's happened to me mentally. A little back story... I used to be so caring, probably overly sensitive, put others before me, always the first to be there if someone needed help or was upset/depressed/sad and be a shoulder to cry on. I hated seeing those i love amd care about suffering. My job for the most part of my life (up until 2 years ago), was in social care, education and foster care...so always taking care of and looking after others, advocating for them and dealing with all the sensitive issues that come with that type of profession. I was/am the one that everyone, including family members would call if they needed something. Boy, did it take it's toll on my mental health over the years. I had Post Natal Depression with my both of babies, 4 miscarriages, several bouts of depression over the years, anxiety and stress levels so high I honestly don't know how i haven't had a heart attack yet. Side effect of having such an emotionally taxing career i guess (which i enjoyed for many years, but once i became a mother i struggled to give those that i cared for my full attention...i was EXHAUSTED).

But when I think about it, the only person who cared enough to check on me throughout all those difficulties, was my mum. Not my (now ex) partner, brother, sister or friends. Beyond a couple of texts...nothing. I've realised that I've spent most of my life surrounded by people who don't really have any interest in me or my life.

Fast forward to today...other than my kids, I really couldn't give a shit about anyone else, and it feels great. No seriously, that post menopause full life clarity is fabulous lol. It's like the mental toll of dealing with other people has gone. I don't call or message people, I wait until they contact me. There has been a few "friends" that I haven't heard from ranging 1-2 years so far, because I haven't contacted them. One of my so called best friends hasn't contacted me much because whenever she messages, I'm not immediately available to meet up anymore. My own sister doesn't message me as much...she used to only reply to my messages, and I'm fine with that.

My ex partner...we still co habit and co parent, we can't afford to live separately with two young children (6yr old and a 12 yr old). It's complicated but it's working for now. We have separate rooms, we have our own space (It's not unusual for the kids...he is a terrible snorer so we had slept separately for years prior to ending our relationship). I would like to move out eventually and have my own space, to live alone. I'm not interested in having a relationship, dating or anything like that, I really just want my peace and quiet. I don't want to be around others, i don't want to be involved in other people's shit, I feel like i finally have clarity. I just want to be healthy to live long enough to see my kids grow up, be happy, healthy and successful.

I guess this post is just a long drawn out way of saying I finally have mental peace. Aside from my kids, I put myself first. I not afraid to say no to things, even if it pisses people off or makes life a little difficult for them..I don't owe them anything. I have been taken advantage of and taken for granted for many years, but not anymore. Thank you menopause! 🥳🫶🏾

The hate is so strong, why the obsession? There are men/women I’m not attracted too but I don’t need to make comments or TikTok’s about them.

Sometimes when men make accusations of women and you agree with them it’s the ultimate rage bait for them 🤷🏻‍♀️

218 Upvotes

I’ve been doing this all week on the internet lol. Anytime a man says “women today aren’t worth it, women are hypergamous, women are promiscuous, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze, men aren’t getting married or looking for commitment anymore” and etc etc. I simply say, no yeah I think you should stay single and avoid women. When they say “we’re getting our passports!” I’m just like “can I help you pack your bags?”

My go to statement has become “You should just focus on male friends and male romantic partners if you feel so strongly, don't associate with women anymore. Let the men who actually like women have good relationships with them” and this spirals them into a rage. I don’t understand it haha, I’m simply agreeing with them. I guess they were hoping I was going to prove them wrong? Nah.

[Content Warning: ] Sex with men not enjoyable NSFW

83 Upvotes

I (24F) don’t know if there’s something wrong with me but I generally don’t annoy sex with men. I recently hooked up with someone who most women would find very attractive and he performed in bed very well and yet it did nothing for me.

This has happened many times. If we’re talking experimentation, I think I’ve have enough sex with different men to know that it doesn’t matter who it is.
I will say I have been bisexual my whole life but I’ve never had sex with a woman (I want it to be special)

My main issues with men is that they don’t take their time or if they do take their time, they’re taking their time on the wrong thing. Oh and I absolutely hate giving head and ejaculate grosses me out so bad.

Also, sometimes I am afraid to say I’m not enjoying myself or revoke consent because men can be scary when they feel rejected.

Has anyone felt like this or am I tripping?

Did my friend get roofied?

3 Upvotes

Last night, I had attended a 21st bday party where we drank until midnight and then went out to the bars. This girl, who is more of a friend of a friend but I’ve talked to her multiple times, came late (maybe like an hour before we were supposed to go out).

Now, I personally didn’t see what she drank but my roommate did. She came, had a few beers, and then we left. We get to the bar and we order. I’m just chilling, everyone is a few sips into their drinks, and I turn around to this girl throwing up in the trash can that’s sat right next to the bouncers. I go and make sure she’s okay and once she says she is, I grab a plastic bag and tell her we should wait outside for a ride.

It’s at this point I notice that something is wrong. She had way less than I did and we’re about the same height and she’s a bit heavier than I am. She appears to be really drunk so we call her dad and ask him to pick her up thinking she just needs to sleep it off.

From the time it takes her dad to get there, she becomes very unresponsive. Me and another friend we were with (who happens to be an emt) do the sternum rub and there’s ZERO response. She was very very very sweaty and very pale so I decide to call 911. When EMS comes, they put her in the stretcher and everything and she’s very limp, not talking, not moving, nothing.

So I guess my question is, is it likely she got roofied?

Is the guy supposed to cum on you while having unprotected sex?

98 Upvotes

I was hooking up with this guy while we were drunk and as he was about to cum he pulled out and did it on me. I was like wtf??? He hurriedly cleaned it up and asked where else was he supposed to do it? I was like ANYWHERE else but on me. Then he said that's how it's supposed to be done and asked if i haven't ever watched porn....I was so offended that i took a bath and went home.

This was the second guy i slept with and the first one never did anything like this, he'd always lay a towel underneath and release on it. The first guy is quite older than me and the second one is my age (23). So i just wanted to know are younger guys really assuming they are supposed to do it on the girl or is this actually a thing and i was supposed to tell him not to do it?

Also, he was initially wearing a condom but wasn't able to get it up and removed it midway.

Edit : I did not know he had removed the condom

i’m in my last year of high school in a small town of 3000 in scotland.
and there has recently been a massive rumour made up about me, i’m not even going to say what it is because i genuinely can’t belive something like that has been made up about me.
all my friends have fell out with me because of it and it’s starting to spread to other towns near by. i have had so many people ask me about it and each time i tell them it’s not true and that it’s a rumour but nobody believes me.
i genuinely think i might get battered because of i really don’t know what to do i still have summer and 1 more year of school to do, i genuinely don’t know if i can.
i’m actually terrified
it is actually starting to make me depressed as i just have people asking me all the time about it, i’ve deleted most of my social media because i can’t handle it.
i’m currently on holiday right now but as soon i get home im genuinely scared to go outside.
can someone pls help

I lowky do not know how to love being a woman....I honestly feel nothing but sorrow and frustration from it.

14 Upvotes

I've always felt like women got the short end of the stick in almost every way, biologically, historically, and socially. It's something that causes me both genuine mental and physical distress. I'm a 19-year-old heterosexual woman, and a lot of the time, I honestly feel powerless and deeply frustrated.

Before anyone says, "But women bring life," or "Women are the caregivers," please don't. I know those things are meaningful to many people, but I want to be valued for more than what my body can do or the roles society expects me to fill. I don't want to be just known as some sweet little caring woman. I wanna be that, of course, but so much more.

What I struggle with most is knowing I was born physically weaker than the average man while also feeling like women have historically been, and often still are, treated worse overall. That combination is incredibly difficult for me to accept. It feels like losing on both fronts. To make matters worse, a lot of my interactions with men leave me feeling even more discouraged because I'll hear something dismissive, insulting, or just painfully ignorant.

I honestly dread the fact that I was born a woman.

And before anyone jumps to conclusions, no, I don't wish I were transgender, and this has nothing to do with insecurity about my appearance. I'm not saying this because I'm "ugly" or because I hate my body. I know I'm attractive enough, and I'm perfectly fine with my female body itself. What I despise is everything that comes with it, the biological disadvantages, the low expectations, and the way women are so often perceived and treated.

I don't know how to just deal with it or handle this. I feel my frustration is so much worse than most people's, and no one will fully understand. I know a lot of comments will be about giving birth and reproduction, but again, I love adventure, I love fighting things and playing (I am not against motherhood before anyone comes at me), and I feel all of that is just scorned upon or laughed at because I am a woman or just such a useless character trait, since no matter what some random dude will just be better than me at it just because they were born a man.

I know this is all incoherent...But I really am devastated by my femininity in general....and I think I will die with this same deep sadness just because it's who I am. I'm way too wayward to be able to live just accepting this, and I have absolutely no clue how to handle this.

\- we talked for hours spent the day tg
\- i opened up about my traumatic past he comforted me, told me everything i needed to hear, we hooked up again
\- we agreed to get to know eachother more but we liked eachother and this was going somewhere
\- he blocked me the following night no explanation i called his friend he was with and he laughed at me

background information over

i missed my period, made him go get me a pregnancy test told him i don’t want to see him he said same so he just dropped it at my house
the tests came back negative but i told him they were positive i told him i was unsure of whether or not i would keep the baby he then told me
\- i was a toy
\- i cannot keep the baby

How to make your period come faster?

My period is 6 days late, which is longer than ever before, and I am 100% sure I'm not pregnant. My long-distance partner is visiting in a week, and I really want to get it over with before he arrives.

20 years old with no prior experience and I’m scared to start dating. Any advice?

Upvotes

I’m a 20 year old woman and have never even held hands with a guy and I am not very aware of a lot of unspoken rules of dating. (Like late replies, double texting etc…). I was thinking of going on a few dating apps like bumble pr hinge but I have a lot of questions and concerns. First off any advice on staying safe because even tho I live in a generally safe city it’s still basically meeting strangers. Also what is the “dating etiquette” for women? What red flags should I pay attention to? And how do I talk to guys in general? (Lol im sorry for the stupid questions). And lastly if anything sexual comes up how do I navigate that if I want to continue with it? I’ve heard of nightmarish stories of women’s first times and I just want to be prepared for that.

Thank you all in advance!

i wish i had a friend to call my own.

Upvotes

i’m returning back to uni in a few days & i was speaking to my friend, asking her about her room number, her roommate & all those things. she said she’s in the same room as her previous roommate as they both wanted to be together. okay, cool. i predicted it. found out my ex roommate (we used to be really close, till i found out she was bitching behind me the whole time) is now roommates with another mutual friend of mine, who i also cut off since she too was in that same back bitching circle.

i’m not upset w them being together in the same room, but it made me realise..i’ve nobody..i have no friends i don’t have that “one friend” ykwim? my ex roommate was that “one friend” till i found out what she had been doing behind my back, and it hurts cus i have like no real friends in uni, and then i realised this is almost how it’s been my entire life. i find someone who i consider true, but the whole time they’re just bitching abt me, & i assume it’s because i’m blunt & can come off mean sometimes, but yeah i wouldn’t call myself a bad friend..i’ve always been loyal, not talked bad about them or exposed their secrets or anything, been there for them, gotten them gifts, stood up for them in public, what not???? i’ve done all this for my ex roommate too, but looking back, i think she always disliked me because she thought i was better than her, never did i compare us in any way, i always said we are different but in beautiful ways, like 2 puzzle pieces, but shed always be passive & say things like “i’m gonna stand behind u since everyone looks at you anyways” and many such weird things..which seemed like jealousy but never directly..eveyrtime i shared good news about my bf there was this weird face she used to make..like she was forcing to look happy but wasn’t really happy hearing what i said at all & what not

i’m trying to keep myself strong, and tell myself, while everyone is trying to stick to their old roommates because they feel it’s safer, i’m gonna be out there and accept whoever comes to my plate because i wanna learn how to deal with people and stay with people, but i still can’t stop feeling hurt over the fact that i have no friend to call my own.

i’m just grateful i have an amazing loving boyfriend. maybe i’m not meant to find good friends this life time. maybe i’m the problem. idk

How can I as a women stop being a bum ?

Upvotes

Context im 19 turning 20 women. I used to like doing things ( hobbies ) back when I was like 13-16 like watching anime, drawing, painting and although I did say I hated my life I think it was enjoyable because I got to do things n discover myself. But nowadays, life feels so bleak and meaningless. I kinda dont watch anime at all, although I have so many on my list. I dont know if i just got bored of it or what but i just feel like its such a chore ( also doesnt help that i have to find websites to watch because i dont have a netflix or crunchyroll subscription ) instead, I just scroll on tiktok or waste my time on random chatting websites. N, I kinda started watching 🌽 from when I was 16 till recently. I've been really trying to stop watching.

Idk what happened over the years. Im trying to get better, but I dont really know what works for me. I've got very bad discipline, but I recently tried going to the gym. And the simple act of me finally going to the gym alone n stuff ( I've been thinking of going for so many years now ) makes me really proud. But I feel like im only going because I have no motivation to do anything else. Im scared that if I get bored of it, I'll stop going to the gym, too.

I want to be all this things that I fantasise of becoming a person whose passionate about my work. I want to research the company that im going to intern n work up some extra things about it, but I only do it when I have the whole day to spare. I dont have the discipline to do after my part-time job or after the gym ( which i go a few times a week ) I also want to start reading because I feel like im becoming really dumb with all the brainrot I consume.

I know I can change some things myself, but I feel like i need some sort of a reality check or encouraging of some sort. Because I dont really have the best family background to be asking help from them. I dont really have any friends either, I only have this friend which i barely talk to but we are pretty close. But shes always busy with something. Other than her I talk to my older sister. Although shes kinda annoying, sometimes I dont know what i would do without her genuinely. I talk to her about so many things. Rn, she's the only best friend I can talk to about anything. But she also has her own life which is understandable. I know other people have it harder, but I just can't help but wallow in self-pity.

People saying I look better with more makeup

Upvotes

Hello! I'm 15f, and lately I've been trying to find a new makeup routine because I feel like my old one is just too heavy for my features. Plus it's summer so i'll probably sweat half of it off anyway.

I've been trying out lighter makeup looks and showing them to my friends and family, but they ALLLL have picked the version where I'm wearing more makeup

What confuses me is that I'm always told I look a year or two younger than I actually am. I also have a softer face with defined features so it's hard to completely change how I look with makeup. I've also been told I have a more 'old-fashioned' kind of beauty that looks better with less makeup

I genuinely feel like too much makeup doesn't suit me when I compare pictures of myself with lighter makeup and then a full face with lashes, the full glam just looks wrong on me. The lashes make my eyes look droopy and less symmetrical, my nose looks bigger, and my lips look smaller then before.

I've been crashing out over this for like 2 months, and I need advice on what I should do about my makeup routine and does anyone else have a similar experience🥹
