So I have started seeing this guy (35 M) and I (24F). It’s not out of the ordinary that I am seeing someone a bit older. But we have been talking and focusing on the big picture of “what do you want in your future” kinda thing. So the first night we stayed together we didn’t have sex. I wanted to wait because I feel like when I really do like someone, the minute I have sex it’s like the feelings are not as strong and it’s almost like I get an “ick” with them. So I end up tearing myself down. I told him I wanted to wait and just keep seeing each other. I love kissing him and I am attracted to how he holds himself together and how he treats me because he has been very respectful from the start.
I feel broken. Because I don’t want to have sex with him and it end up just being a relationship based solely off of sex. I want a good foundation. But I just feel lost or confused about myself? I don’t want to hurt him and we have been very honest with each other that if we want to go a different path we just tell each other.
I also don’t go around just sleeping with guys. I haven’t been with anyone in the last 2 1/2 months and I want to settle down and have a relationship with someone.
Am I just broken? Young and dumb?

Our journey began unexpectedly when we became parents in our early twenties. To provide for our family, I worked full-time in retail, without higher education, while my partner pursued her bachelor's degree with my support. Work consumed my days and nights, battling silently with depression and anxiety. 60-80 hour work weeks, and only 1 day off in between. Despite a back injury early on, I continued to ensure our family's stability. Evenings were spent at work, leaving little time for family or personal time, occasionally finding solace in a video game. I sucked at that game but I got addicted to it. It took away negatives thoughts of being a failure as a father, and partner. It took away suicidal thoughts but I was a zombie playing this game. I turned on the music and tired to get lost in this game. My partner managed studies, part-time work, and household chores, feeling increasingly isolated as the primary caregiver. Despite wanting to be more involved, work kept me distant. Six years later, with my partner's graduation. I unexpectedly received a better paying job offer, I hoped for balance. I focused on my health, losing weight and adopting a healthier lifestyle. It was a day and night difference. But as I tried to reconnect, my partner grew more distant, immersing herself in solo activities. She had taken up activities with friends more times in the year than spending time with us. She’d always insist that I not be there so she could get her alone time. At one point I offered to find baby sitting but she said sometimes she just wants be alone which was fair. 2 years passed, she had gone out to more than 2 dozen outings but only a couple date nights with for us. She said she didn’t like planning.
During a girls' night at a bar, my partner expressed interest in salsa dancing, excluding me. Feeling excluded, I expressed my longing for quality time together multiple times, but she insisted on her need for space
Should I be betrayed that she went salsa dancing with random dudes for the first time at a bar? I am jealous, I really wanted to experience salsa dancing with her for the first time. Or that she didn’t bother to consider my feelings when I told her I was uncomfortable with it or that I’d like to at least experience this with her for the first time? Am I being a jerk for feeling this way?
TLDR: I’ve been neglectful so I deserve to have taste of my own medicine? Is it unfair for her to expect me to plan the baby sitting? I feel like a single dad for the amount of times she’s left me with our son to hang out with friends. She’s always said I can do the same to her if I need time with friends but what I have been craving the most is quality time with her, she knows this but says it’s easier to leave the kid with me than to make time for us. We both were young parents and missed out on what most 20 year olds do, so why is she leaving me behind? I’m so lost.
How can I be a better partner? I want to try my best.
We have been engaged for 5 years, she’s afraid to marry me. How do I change this, can I change this?

I started going through notebooks and realized that while i don't want to dispose of hard copies of music, i don't want to use them as my regular reference either.
I've looked at apps like forcore (there were others) but can't swallow annual fees. I don't mind paying. But I'm old. I want to buy once and not pay some crazy high price.
I don't need fancy features like transposing keys etc. So a lot of what I'd be paying for in the apps is no value added for me.
I considered just snapping a picture then backing it up to Google drive or something but even that seems daunting and like a poor way to organize.
I'd like the ability to make notes on the music if needed.
How are you backing up and digitizing your music?

I’m gonna start by saying I 28F think I have self esteem issues … because it’s the only thing that makes sense . I was dumped by 37M over a little argument over a meme .. the meme was about a guy lusting over a woman he had sent it to me and I made a joke saying ah you did the same before as a joke … I have boobs too so I really didn’t care . He didn’t take this well , broke up with me and said he thinks I’ll be controlling in the future …he claims he has never disrespected me to his knowledge and he would never be the type of guy to be like that to a woman .. I’ve literally had a nervous wreck and a break down about this . I’ve apologized so many times saying my comment wasnt meant to be taken so seriously .
I believe he has a tendency to be non commital. Never been married no kids . And his biggest thing is still wanting freedom in a relationship .
He says I ask for too much reassurance which I don’t think I do lol I used to make jokes like would you still love me if I was a worm but stopped doing that because he said he didn’t like that he has to reassure me , again these are things that I didn’t take as being serious or make or break . And I’ve since stopped
Tbf he lied to me a lot in the beginning and said he won’t do it anymore , our relationship had been on the mend ever since March only for him to again dump me while we were looking forward to having a summer together .
He definitely has issues with closeness and intimacy but I feel I’m soooo trauma bonded that I feel like I can’t move on , idk if I need tough love from people on the internet
But I’m miserable from this breakup and don’t know how to move on .. I’m isolating my self from friends because I’m embarrassed and I don’t want to have to talk about the situation
He says we speak two different relationship languages and that he doesn’t feel like I understand him it’s been three years of this btw
TLDR ; I think I want someone who doesn’t want me anymore

My aunt just took a picture of me and oh god I felt like a monster. I look nothing like I think I do in the mirror. Usually I find people looking just like their selfies but I honestly don’t. I look so much uglier in regular pictures. I don’t look pretty in selfies (which don’t use a weird angle) but I don’t look THIS bad. It makes me want to end it all.

I wanted to talk about how this line fits in with the entire series.
First off, Project Zero Dawn in the first place. The second Elisabet finds out about the problem, it's already too late. The human race is DEAD, and absolutely nothing can change that. So she looks beyond the impossible and finds a solution to the problem.
This is also the core behind Operation Enduring Victory, and why the lie wasn't quite a lie. No, the soldiers never had a chance of surviving. But they did manage to save the human race in the end, like what was promised, even though they were facing an unending wave of extinction.
Now we fast-forward to the Alien Signal. GAIA realizes that HADES has just activated and is going to try to annihilate all life on Earth, which will be permanent this time because all the stocks to restore the planet are gone. So she goes outside her programming to stop him and create Aloy to find a solution. When she realizes that won't work because the Alpha Registry was corrupted, she declares that Aloy will find a solution anyway.
Then the Derangement happens, and the Carja go from "those asshole slavers" to "making war against everyone at the same time." Prince Avad finds himself in an impossible moral situation, and eventually does something crazy: Recruits allies from the people who hate him more than anyone and fight to save the world from his insane father.
Aloy's impossible actions in HZD and HFW I don't think need much analysis. But I do think it's worth contrasting her with the villains. In the first game, the Eclipse are trying to cause an extinction event because they can't accept such insane ideas as "equality" and "maybe rampant murder is wrong." In the second game, the Zeniths are fleeing their own extinction event while making zero attempt to stop it, ask for help, or even bother giving a heads-up to the primitive tribes. Not to mention that the problem is entirely of their own making. Both of these groups, instead of fighting for a better future, are fleeing their own mistakes and endangering everyone else in the process.
Thoughts?

i (22f) am at a very low point at the moment, i have thousands of dollars in medical debt, our land lord is kicking us out of our house, i am just loosing sight of everything. i feel i cannot talk to anyone. so i dont. i dont have insurance and cant afford it so i cant get therapy anymore, im even scrounging for my meds. it's hard for me to even be casual with people i care about and have good convos with them. i just cant do it. everything upsets me or frustrates me. i feel life is so unfair to me. everyone else gets handed shit so much easier and i envy them for it. even my family is noticing I'm getting so much more aggressive. its cause im so depressed i just dont even know what to do anymore. i dont know where im gonna live, i dont know how financially ill survive anywhere. there are so many bad habits i wanna start up and this is all where my remaining strength is going to. my family says ro rely on them but the second i do it turns into a pity party of how there situation is so much worse than mine and i should be thankful. why should i be thankful if bad things are still happening? its not a fucking competition life sucks everywhere.im so tired of hearing all the bad shit in the world. its all anyone wants to talk about anymore. i get it sucks but i cannot listen to anything i just wanna handle myself first. im slowly just starting to grow away from people im supposed to be close to..the only one i dont feel that way with is my boyfriend thankfully. im glad me and him are okay. but even then he lives across the ocean. but as for everything else i dont know. my job sucks, idk where I'm gonna live, ill forever be in debt. i just wish my bf lived here that way i truly felt i wasnt alone. right now nothin excites me. my job i used to like is shit, the people i enjoy hanging with i dont anymore, and i dont know how im going to survive this. i am growing to hate myself more as a person and who im becoming and what i look like. i dont even recognize myself in the mirror. i dread being awake. whenever im not working im constantly trying to think up ways to make more money. by selling my stuff on facebook and shit. every waking hour is me being concerned about money. how im gonna get it, how much, and so much more. i dont know how im going to get through this. my mindset is so terrible and hasnt been this bad in years. i really thought i was doing so good. and now here i am. if you read all of this, thank you. youre the only people i dont mind talking to and venting to. anyone else in my life just doesnt know how to deal with me (i say this loosely) or it turns into how shit is so terrible to them. thank you. im really scared and angry about my future. i dont see anything good coming from it.

Leica only made a limited amount of the M10-D. If you’re not familiar with what this camera is, it’s a digital rangefinder without a screen and with a manual shutter cocking mechanism. It’s everything I like about using M body film cameras with the advantage of unlimited free frames.
In my opinion Leica should release an M11-D and a D version of every M camera they make in the forseeable future.
How many of you would rather use a dumbed down version of the digital M cameras over their flagship?

So i met this guy online and we were talking for a few weeks and he asked me if it was fine for me to do a videocall which is fair cause i’m also curios to see him but the thing is that i have the most asymmetrical face ever like it’s all left sided and maybe on pictures you will not notice it but on video is so clear . I was so scared and hesitant to do it but we did this afternoon and i feel it went so wrong . He kept looking away , he made so little eye contact that i kept thinking omg he thinks that i’m so disgusting that he cannot even look at me . The call was pretty short and awkward , he had to go to sleep cause we have a totally different time zone but i felt like he just wanted to end the call . He said we can call next time but i felt he said it out of courtesy rather than true intentions . I just want to cry cause i cannot stand my face anymore . I don’t think i will hear from him ever again which makes me sad cause i really like him😢

Hello! The stresses of trying to be a GM have been getting to me lately and I'd like to try my hand at being a player again. I'm looking for a trans friendly online group who can be accommodating to the fact that I have social anxiety and take a bit to get comfortable with new people. My sleep schedule is a bit erratic atm, but I can adjust it to make any time needed really (as a forewarning, currently on a job search, so if I ever land anything, that may cause some scheduling issues in the future).
As for systems I would like to play, I'm open to anything that isn't 5e or PbtA. I have experience with and enjoy Pathfinder 1e (I have 2e and haven't read through it yet, but have been wanting to try it for a while now), Starfinder, the FFG 40k games, Call of Cthulhu (my favorite RPG ever), the 1e of the Doctor Who RPG by Cubicle 7, and Star Wars Saga Edition; I also have interest in Delta Green and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e. I'm also just open to trying anything when it comes to new systems.

I remember graduating high school in a typical American suburban middle class school district a little over a decade ago and being so excited for the future.
Movies like Avatar and Star Trek as well as video games like Mass Effect, Eve Online, and To The Moon dazzled me.
Would the economic problems and wars in the Middle East just be a temporary distraction and that by the mid 2010s humanity would take serious steps to putting humanity on the road to a Star Trek like future as well as keep making social progress?
Then 2016-now happens.
Does anyone long for the optimism and excitement of the early 2010s?
But I also remember it being a more vapid and socially conformist time. It seems like a lot of society was dismissive of sci fi.
It seemed like society was more interested in Hollywood level materialism with giant mansions, private jets, and yachts rather than pushing humanity forward.
At least in my area there seemed to be the promotion of Math being "Uncool" but that was more of a middle school thing.
It seemed like the space program was disregarded and forgotten.
Looking back I also find it kind of sad I never knew anyone I knew from my school years during the 2000s and early 2010s who went into science or engineering.
But now the space program seems to have been massively revived and we are making progress in AI and fusion.
I don't seem to see the mocking of geek culture like I did in the early 2010s.
Although I wish this was under better circumstances. I don't like all these social problems American society is mired in.
I long for the excitement and optimism of the early 2010s but I would also prefer it with a society that put most of it's energy to stopping "Global Warming" and dreaming of building a sci fi future.

I discovered Shera's videos quite a few years ago, and loved her humour as well as her message to level up. I started noting down all her little gems. They give me motivation, and a giggle too. I am older, in my fifties, and have been happily married for over 15 years, so I don't need her dating, sugaring, or 'get the bag' advice, but I do love her level up advice. I saw another lady share her notes, so I wanted to as well. There are tons, I've realised! I hope you enjoy them!

How do you become the prize?

If you don’t start as the prize, then you aren’t the prize. If you don’t know if your mind that you are already the prize then you can never be the prize.

~~

How to be more feminine so I can be spoiled more?

It’s a lifestyle. You have to act, fake it until you make it, and create a lifestyle. The days that you don’t feel very feminine are the days that you have to use more of your masculine energy.

Remember to always have a space to come back to that is feminine, and recharge yourself with feminine energy. Create a more feminine environment, wear more feminine clothes, listen to music that is going to help your femininity instead of diminishing it.

Keep things that you like to do feminine and do feminine things. Going shopping, getting your nails or hair done, buying shoes, picking out décor for our rooms, decorating tables, going on picnics, watching girly movies.

Recharge yourself by doing some of those things. You need to be able to recharge your femininity at least once or twice a week.

~~

Live the type of life you want already. It may not be on the scale that you want to live it at, but it needs to be a version of it. For example, if you want to live a soft, feminine life make sure your current life reflects that: your current environment, the current way you dress, the current way you walk, talk and act.

The more you receive, the better treatment you receive, if you can get a provider who can let you live a more feminine life, a softer life, then it's just going to get better and better.

But already live the life you want to live, that way they can only improve you and they see how you treat yourself and see what you like and that’s what they are going to be giving you. Your goals will be met just by dating.

~~

What are some ways to keep him interested in he provides well?

Look good
Make sure you know what his interest are
Talk to him
Make sure he feels like he is the man
Look good when you are out with him
Make sure you are pretty and heads turn ‘ooh who’s he with’
His self-esteem will skyrocket when you go out with him if you look good and he’s not going to want to leave that


~~

Men like women to switch it up as long as it’s classy.

~~

Flower attract bees to them by their bright colours and they smell good. Attract men to you:

· Wear bright pretty colours
· Smell good
· Look fresh, dewy and youthful
· Look attractive

Look like the prize. Look like his fantasy. Look through his eyes: what would he like to see?

It’s not that complicated. Bring it back down to simplicity? What do men like?

Heels
Skirts
Dresses
Makeup
Long hair
Red lipstick
Baby voice
Feminine colours
Make them feel good
Give them compliments
Let them talk
Don’t talk about your boring stuff – they don’t care

Use the formula to get success with men.

~~

If you want to dress casual in jeans and a cute top, still wear heels, hair, full makeup. If you’re going to wear jeans, you’re going to need to wear heels.

Also think about this: what sort of man are you attracting. If you wear jeans when you meet you’re going to get taken to a jeans date. Dress for the life you want.

Comment:
When we had a fight I cut my hair short & bangs & went shopping. He was so glad he said “you look like a different person!” The fight was forgotten & he treated me new again & took me shopping again.

"Life is fun! (...) life is a movie, life is a stage. Get into character... "

Men don’t care about anything else but what you look like and how you make them feel.

If you’ve let yourself go, level yourself up to the point that their jaw will drop when they see you.

What do rich men’s wives all have in common besides being pretty?

They’re feminine
They’re classy
They’re not loud and obnoxious
They don’t outshine their husband
They hold back and keep it together in public
They are well proportioned

Shera had a friend who was a little rachet, and she ended up marrying wealthy. She had to totally change everything about herself:

The way she dressed
The way she wore her hair
The way she spoke
The kind of shoes she wore
Her makeup
She had to change it all
How she acted around people
How she spoke to men
She had to change everything
It’s not that she changed who she was inside or her personality
It’s that she changed who she was around men
There’s a difference

~~

Your stock should go up after you get married, not down. If your stock is not rising after marriage you’re doing it backwards. That means still investing into yourself, your beauty, your clothing, into your stash (money, wealth and investments). If you got married and your stock plummeted, that’s your fault.

~~

Loving yourself means putting yourself first as a priority. Knowing your worth and value and not taking any crap from anybody because you value yourself, you love yourself. That’s all loving yourself means. And not talking down about yourself. And knowing that you deserve what you want in life.

Once you do that other people will as well – men, co- workers, your boss, parents, spouse, brother, sister, cousin, whoever. Whoever is in your life at the moment will recognise that you love yourself and that you don’t have to submit to them or that you’re not desperate for their approval. In fact they may start to be desperate for your approval. So make sure you’re putting yourself first.

Don’t be always talking about the other person and what they want or what they think. Don’t care who they are. Don’t care about other people or their spouse or the person they’re interested in. It’s not about them, it’s about you. If they can’t recognise you and they don’t like you, then you are wasting time.

If you have to sit there and be puzzled about why someone is not responding properly or why they’re not doing this or that, it means they don’t like you so just move on and stop trying to waste time worrying about it. You already know that in the back of your mind; you’re just hoping for a different outcome that there won’t be.

Make sure that when you realise you are putting other people before yourself as a priority then you’re not going to get the type of man or people attracted to you that you need. When you can get somebody in the click of a finger and they’re not used to that it means you are valuable and that they are not necessary. They are very unnecessary and therefore they feel like you have even more value because you don’t need them. You don’t need them, they need you. That’s why they seek you out. That’s why they call you, that’s why they ask you out.

Make sure you’re not getting caught up in silliness. If they’re not putting you first, you’re gone. Or you put them on ice; that means you let them figure it out and when they start acting right again then you allow them back into your life. If you’re chasing behind someone, if you’re worrying about someone who ghosts you then you’re not putting yourself first.

And that means you don’t love yourself. A lot of people were taught to act a certain way – not cocky etc – if you don’t, all people see you as is a doormat. You can let down your guards later when they are fully invested in you and aren’t going anywhere, but until that happens they are there to impress you.

~~

How do you fall in love with yourself when you aren’t happy with yourself?

Become happy with yourself:

· Do things that make you happy
· Look the way you need to look
· Continue to do this every day until you are happy

Only you can make you happy

~~

Don’t go out there lookin’ like Plain Jane. Plain Jane gets passed by with the eye.

~~

The key is confidence. You can learn all you want, if you don’t have confidence you can’t pull it off. The key is confidence, knowing your value, and not listening to no dusties. That’s the key, that’s the masterclass right there – be confident.

Be main character energy. Stop caring what people think. Have a goal of what you want and go for it and don’t stop until you get it. Speak positive about yourself and stop dealing with dusties. That’s just it. You do all those things and you’re going to have something. You’re going to get what you’re looking for. That’s it.

~~

It’s not what you look like – it’s how you make them feel.

Are you going to make them feel young again?
Are you going to make life exciting for them?
Do they enjoy being with you?
Do they like being seen out in public with you?

~~

Shera, on when you talk about all your feelings and prior history:

“You’re being an informant on yourself. You’re telling on yourself. You’re giving out all your secrets and revealing everything. So that’s definitely not feminine energy, because feminine energy is naturally dark. You know, it’s water, it’s the cosmos, it’s that. So when you’re revealing everything, when nothing is unknown and everything is known, now you’re masculine. Because that’s light- everything is known. So the more you say, the more you tell, the more you open up, the more masculine you become in that energy, and the less mystery and femininity and feminine allure you have, because now you’re an open book. And they have all the clues to how the story ends and how to manipulate the character.”

~~

“Feminine energy is naturally dark, is water, is the cosmos, is that. So, when you are revealing everything, nothing is unknown and everything is known, now you’re more masculine, because that is light, everything is known.

So the more you say, the more you tell, the more you open up, the more masculine you become in that energy, and the less mystery and femininity and feminine allure you have because now you are an open book, you’re predictable.

And they have all the clues to how the story ends and how to manipulate the character.”

~~

Get them to worry about you, while you worry about you.

~~

How do you find your purpose? You create it.

~~

Leveling up is actually a lot of fun when you are present and mindful about it it’s probably be the best gift you could ever give yourself as a woman.

~~

Stop caring what other people think and live the life you want to live. If you don’t like kissing people’s butts, don’t kiss their butt.

~~

A lot of women don’t realise that if you just get into your feminine, and you stick with your standards, you can get what you ask for.

~~

How to become detached and unbothered?

Stop caring. When you care too much, that’s when you can’t detach and be unbothered. Stop caring, become ‘take it or leave it’. That’s your attitude. You will be fine with it or without it.

Comment:

Three years ago I was getting yelled at a public train station (which we had to take because neither of us had a car) by my dusty disgusting ex. I lived in a cheap apartment with four unsavory roomates and their boyfriends. Now I live in a luxury high rise with a conceirge and valet. All I did today was get a facial, sit by the pool and shop. I don’t have to worry about a SINGLE THING and every man in my life treats me like a queen. I’m truly breaking generational curses; my dad left my mom with four kids alone while she worked at Denny’s waitressing overnight. If it weren’t for Shera’s wisdom I don’t know where I would be today but I just give thanks every day that I saw the light. This is my one and only life so why shouldn’t I be living peacefully and bougie.

It’s crazy how fast life can chance when you realize your worth and act on it. Keep on inching further and further; the more luxurious things you do the more the rest of your life catches up. It literally started with me going to the expensive nail salon instead of the cheap one. Then I felt like I deserved more. I moved into a nicer apartment that was out of my budget at first, then a nicer car, then I started buying designer bags and now I live in an ultra-luxurious place. Small steps and the rest of your life will catch up in time. Of course look your best every day and be healthy. And do not give a second of your time to anyone who does not treat you with respect, remember if they’re not adding to your life they are taking away.

The universe somehow just opened up and rains abundance on me. The more you surround yourself with the vibrations of prosperity the more it will be drawn to you. Ella Ringrose on YouTube helped me a lot to draw in money.

Comment:

Shera ever since I started watching you I have levelled up my life completely. I lost 50 pounds and changed my whole look to be more feminine. My husband was so motivated he started making more money and bought me a home and my dream car. He does everything I want now and he feels proud to bring me home his paycheck. I no longer work and just workout every day and focus on my children. A lot of my family members don’t understand this life but I am very happy and comfortable.

‘Busy patterns that aren’t classy make you look older’. You can show how classy your clothing is by the cut, colour and pattern, not the brand or designer.

Look to magazines for style inspiration:

O magazine = for older women
Instyle = more youthful

Men need respect, they don’t want your love.

Wealthy men like women who are thin, feminine, and classy, or classy/sexy.

Classic = classy. Dress in a way that you wouldn’t look crazy in a photo in 20 years time.

Looking beautiful, adore your blouse and that classy backdrop. I have earrings very similar. I have to go out now, I’m over 60 and always look stylish heading out the door . Make up and a cute dress today. You never know who is at the coffee shop 😊

Be cute, be feminine, don’t talk so much. Let him do the hard work.

‘You’re not his momma stop acting like it’ video
Women will turn into their man's mother without realizing it! Then he will run.

A lot of times when a woman has been in a relationship for a long time or is married, they start acting like a mother to the man without even realising it. To avoid that, do these things:
· Totally change everything – change how you dress, put more makeup on, wear heels.
· Act ten years younger.
· Don’t be concerned about the things you used to be concerned about.
· Let everything be free and fly.
· If you once worried about dishes in the sink don’t worry about it anymore.
· Change it up.
· If he realises that you stop caring and you just put all that extra energy that you were nagging and trying to organise and keep stuff right or that you were frustrated about – if you took all that extra energy and put it back into yourself – and you stopped worrying about the house and the domestic issues and him doing this, this and that. He’s going to think, ‘Well dang, everything is out of order, now she’s dressing like this and putting on makeup and looking this way, and the dishes aren’t clean anymore, or she’s not nagging me about picking up my clothes and the room is a mess’, then either he’ll get up and do it or he’ll start turning into your father.
· You mirror what they do and they’re gonna start seeing what you are doing by you have to act that way with them.
· You stop cleaning dishes, you start leaving your stuff on the floor.
· You start dressing cute, and say you’re going out.
· You forget to do stuff, or you stop helping out because you don’t want to damage your nails or the Real Housewives is on.
· Start doing the same thing to him – he watches sport, you say, ‘Oh Housewives is on, I wanna watch it. I don’t wanna watch it later.’
· You don’t do any of this like it’s revenge, just like you joined him in not being responsible, or joined him with more relaxed rules.
· He might like it. He might be like ‘you’re so laid back, you look happy today’.
· Then he might start cleaning up more because it’s not an order.
· But as long as you’re happy and not nagging him, he’s going to do it voluntarily.

~~

How you act and how you make him feel will give you more power to get what you want.

· Look good
· Be more feminine
· Speak softly
· Smile
· Laugh at whatever he is saying and make him feel good about who he is
· Let him talk more than you
· Feed his ego
· Act vulnerable and he will want to do things for you, will want to please and impress you

(I added:
· Ladylike, dainty, girlish, delicate, compassionate, considerate, sympathetic, tolerant, warm-hearted, gracious
· Calm, refined and tasteful
· Agreeable, friendly, good-natured,
· Kind, moral, pleasant, delightful)

That’s how you get what you want.

Our power is in our femininity, not in our masculinity, not in being in competition with a man, but making them weak because we are giving them exactly what no-one else does and so they’re not used to it and they yield to it and want more of it and they’re going to do what you want.

Being feminine is the key to getting what you want. There is no magic formula; it’s just ‘being feminine’. Work on that and you will get what you want. Work on your baby voice. Work on asking men for things and help, feeling vulnerable around them and stroking their ego and you can pretty much get what you want, especially if you choose the right target. Don’t go up and choose someone who has a thousand options, go up and choose someone who feels lucky to be with you and who will act accordingly.

~~

Men don’t like jealous women. You look insecure if you show jealousy. If you feel jealous, act like you don’t care – laugh it off.

~~

Men don’t like to be told what to do or have someone running their life. They don’t need you to offer them suggestions – this will just make them feel like a child, emasculated and they will rebel.

~~

Have a hobby and have a life.
Have your own life.
Make yourself number one.

Make sure he likes you more than you like him. If he really likes you he is going to chase you and not let you go, and you don’t even have to do anything to make this happen.

~~

I am not a people pleaser. I live for myself not others. And that’s how you have to be to be unbothered. Be unbothered always and you will live your best life.

~~

I live in a fantasy world every day. That’s why I can create the world that I want.

~~

A dream woman is motivation for a man in every way. If you no longer motivate him, you are no longer his dream woman.

~~

A good actress will melt into her role.

~~

Instead of waiting and having regret later, make the decision now to do what’s best for you, not what’s best for the outside world and what they think. Do what’s best for you in the long run, not what’s best for you right now in this one moment which will pass. Think ahead. Right now is gone. As soon as you think about it, it’s gone.

~~

To be a dream woman and to be worshipped by the man you are with, you have to stay focused on you. Don’t be about him. A man’s dream woman does not mean she is all over him. She has a life. Keep a healthy distance instead of being extra clingy. That way you stay on his level. Make sure you appeal to his friends (in a classy way) too. He will see that others appreciate you and know that he has the prize.

How to be unbothered?

Comments:

‘Fake it till you make it. That’s what happened with me I started to pretend that it didn’t bother me. Now I’m literally so unbothered and focused on myself.’

‘When you are showing that you’re upset or bothered, you are giving them power to know they affected you. I love everyone but I do not argue. I have trained myself not to get emotional even at my husband or family. Being this way also makes you more respected, it’s part of your charisma.’

‘Being unbothered is a choice.’

~~

Comment:

If you're over 35 the best ways to look young is to drink a gallon of water a day....it's good for wrinkles..and helps your makeup glide on like butter.

Eat less and eat as much green as you can (Kale, Broccoli, Spinach) so you can be as slim as possible so that you feel good in your clothes....

Work out to increase your confidence...

Dress your age....nothing worse than a woman who dresses out of her age range...makes you look like you're trying too hard...

~~

Build confidence by not accepting that you have low self-esteem. Every day improve yourself so your self-esteem gets higher and higher. Don’t wallow in it, don’t accept it. Every day tell yourself what you want:

I look good
I feel good
I’m great

Tell yourself that. Give other people compliments, and they will give you compliments. Before you know it, you’ll have high self-esteem. You have to work on it, it doesn’t come automatically. It took a long time to tear down your self-esteem, and it takes a moment to pull it back up.

Just work on it, keep moving forward. Don’t let anyone put you down again.

~~

How to keep your husband interested

· Less communication
· Less giving of information
· Spend more time apart
· Don’t get so close that he is going to want to back up
· You have to get close then back up, get close then back up again
· Look your best at all times
· Don’t smother people and they won’t try to escape you
· Have a life
· Have things to do
· Have a to-do list that does not require that person

Go out and do things. He will appreciate you more when you get back. He will wonder what you’ve been doing. He will anticipate your return.

Don’t let him conquer you. When men have conquered a woman, they will move on. If he doesn’t feel like he can ever conquer you, he will try harder. Never let him feel like he totally has you.

~~

Masculine people (men or women) tend to run to the rescue of others.

~~

Shera, on uplevelling your looks and being your best every time you step out the front door: Don’t let life pass you by. Life is short. Life is very short.

Comment on Shera’s video: My mom went through a season where she dressed up and it just made our whole family and home come alive. I remember when my mom walked into the living room all fixed up and my little cousin's eyes just lit up. He said be careful don't touch her lol. He literally went from seeing her as a plain ol’ aunt to a princess. He was so young, but he couldn't fake it; that was his instincts.

~~
· It’s not about looking young, it’s about looking good.
· If you miss an opportunity to be levelling up, you are only cheating yourself.
· Stay ready.
· Every day do something to improve yourself - hair, exercise, mindset, self-esteem
· Enjoy getting ready – be creative
· If you’re wearing makeup, go bold. Men want to see the makeup.
· Men like it when you look your best. When you’re out in public, people are judging a man’s status by the type of wife he has, how she looks. You add status to any man that you are with.
· If you are attractive, you will have a lot of friends inviting you out. They will use you to attract attention because you look good. They are going to gravitate towards you and associate you with success. Your appearance will get you further than almost anything else.

~~

When you’re trying to lure a man in, dress for that man. Men do pay attention to what you look like.

Broke men pay attention to your silhouette. They look at your body because they just want to have sex with you.

Men with money pay attention to what you wear: your clothes, your shoes, your jewellery, your shoes, your hair, everything. Are you appropriate? If he wants to take it to the next level and take you out and get to know you, start a relationship, introduce you to his friends, he isn’t just looking at your body.

~~

The better you look, the more successful he looks.

~~

Men are visual creatures. Everything men do is based on that they see. How they treat you is based on what they see.

If you go without makeup, hair not done, and dressed badly, you won’t get the same treatment even by the people who see you every day. When you look good, the people around you have a little bit more respect for you. They see you looking pulled together and to see you any other way is foreign to them.

When you are levelled up, keep this in mind, don’t backslide. When a man meets you looking good, he wants to see you like that for your entire marriage. He doesn’t want you to let yourself go.

Try hard to keep yourself up during your marriage; how you looked when you met him is how he wants to see you forever more.

Men are very visual creatures, so when they see us looking bad, it upsets them. It literally makes them clench inside a little bit because they are so affected by the visual.

You are like a Christmas tree or a beautiful ornament. It’s a pleasure to look at you and they’ll want to be around you just for that.

People may treat you badly because you didn’t keep up your looks - a man could be speaking to another woman or ignoring you.

~~

“Just act and dress like a feminine lady. You’re making them feel younger by being in their presence. Watch 1950s Hollywood movie stars to watch how those ladies acted.”

Never help a man level up as they will always put you in a maternal role and look at you as a mother figure.

How to change your mindset:
1. Tell yourself that you are no longer allowing people to make you feel bad about something – that’s your choice.
2. Decide that you want to be better, and each day take action towards being better. Your self-esteem will rise from this.
3. Surround yourself with like-minded people so you can influence and help each other.

~~

People who talk less are generally more well respected.

~~

“Look for the positive in every negative comment or situation, and you will find it every time.

Whatever your weakness is, make it your strength, to fuel you to the next level. That’s how you really level up from inside. Face your weakness head on. If someone calls you fat, flaunt it. Say, ‘So what? Yes, I eat, I haven’t seen a rib in many decades, but I’m happy. I got a lovely husband, nice house, nice car.’

Instead of being a victim about it, empower yourself with it. Your flaw can be your power. It can be your power if you take it and embrace it and stop focusing on it as an insecurity. The more you focus on something as an insecurity, the more other people will focus on it because they know it’s your weakness and that’s how you get affected. Whatever your flaw is, turn it into something that can give you more than it can take from you. If people say it’s a flaw, take it and turn it into a power.”

~~

Don’t listen to what people say; what do you think? Opposition creates interest.

~~

· Be extra feminine in the way you dress, speak, act.
· Be charming - smile, don't argue (and then do exactly what you were going to do anyway).
· Ask for help from your man - opening a jar, lifting something, reaching up high, anything - they love it. Do this three times a day. Say things like 'It's too heavy for me'. Doing this makes them feel protective of you.
· When you are offered help, accept it.
· Talk to men in a feminine baby-voice.
· Practice being feminine and flirty every day to men everywhere so that it becomes second nature. Things such as asking a man for assistance at the supermarket and smiling and saying thank you in a feminine voice.
· Use your feminine charm on everyone around you.
· Look your best, put on makeup every day, smell good, be well groomed, have nice nails.
· Speak to him as if he's a person and not a child - don't try to control him. Mothers control their children and men don't want to have sex with their mother.
· Ask for what you want, but do it in a feminine way.
· Act like the prize to be the prize.
· Be unpredictable - men will get bored of you if you are too predictable. If you are unpredictable it is exciting to them plus scares them a little too. They will wonder why you are different.
· Don't talk so much.
· Mirror how he acts to bring him closer. Say your man is a bit distant; my natural inclination is to wonder what is wrong, try and talk to him etc. That is clingy, a better way to behave is mirror that - be busy doing your own things, happy but busy and let him come looking for you when he comes out of his cave.
· Be feminine in everything you do - surround yourself with reminders of your femininity - i.e. a pink phone cover.
· Be the receiver not the giver.
· Let him think up ideas, with your subtle input.
· Hardly ever text or call him at work, unless you need him to pick up something.
· Dress up every day for no reason.
· Smile.
· Always be levelling up.
· Have a plan B.
· Don't tell him your plans for the day or where you have been - be a little mysterious and let him wonder what you've been up to.
· Keep the mystery alive with privacy - closet, bathroom etc.
· Don't do everything together.
· Have hobbies and interests of your own.
· Make him feel like a man by asking his advice, seeking help from him, not trying to tell him what to do etc.
· Keep up with new trends and the latest styles. Try new looks, buy new clothes, look cute.
· Make him feel younger by being fresh, new and exciting.
· Be excited by life and easily impressed.
· Go on vacation, go out to places.
· Do new things and turn him on to new things. Do new things in bed.
· Change your looks - look different, be different.
· Listen to the latest music.
· Keep up with the latest trends in things.
· Be an exciting adventure.
· Be happy go lucky, not a care in the world, everything is fun.
· Head up, chin up, look around, smile.
· Get all excited when you talk about little things.
· Light up when you talk to people.
· Bring a high energy.
· Wear your hair long and straight or smooth-wavy.
· Be seasonal - with your look/outfit, eating, décor.
· Reinvent yourself regularly.
· Play different characters for fun.
· Channel someone else when you go out.
· Be constantly changing and improving.
· Be a lively woman - bubbly, happy, exciting, smiling, lifts their spirits, fun to be around.
· Grab his hand and pull him along like a child.
· Be energetic and breathe life into others.
· Mirror his body language about 10-30 seconds later.
· Try new things, new looks.
· Practice your charm on waiters etc.
· Be a people watcher in different environments depending on the lifestyle you desire.
· Look from the outside in - how do people view you? How attractive are you?
· Transform yourself.
· Be his ultimate fantasy girl.
· Look good, do your makeup every day.
· Speak to your him as if he is a person and not a child.
· ‘Can you help me/lift that/get me a blanket?’ in a baby voice. Get him used to looking after you. ‘This is too heavy for me, I can’t reach it’. Do this three times a day minimum.
· Ask for what you want in a feminine way.
· Use the baby voice.
· Be extra feminine.
· Be charming – smile, don’t argue – agree (but do exactly what you want anyway).
· Ask for help from men.
· When you are offered anything, accept it.
· Talk to men in a feminine nature.
· Practice being feminine and flirty every do so that it becomes second nature to you – it will become easier with practice.
· Ask questions and smile.
· Play a bit dumb (not stupid; request their knowledge).
· Use your feminine charm on everyone around you – practice on any man to get better.
· Never get too comfortable (don’t let yourself go).
· Keep the illusion going – makeup, hair, lotion, fragrance.
· Look like you did when you first met (me: 66-67kg, long blonde hair, stylish clothes).
· Men are visual creatures and your hair is foremost – long, silky and straight.
· Have your makeup on, look cute.
· Shera’s husband treated her differently when she gained weight and then lost weight.
· Shera’s advice to a lady who gained 40 pounds and now her husband isn’t attracted to her: ‘Lose 40 pounds’.
· Still look sexy even if you’ve been together a while.
· Exfoliate your face and body.
· Have glowing, moisturised skin.
· Use highlighter on your face.
· Wear perfume, body lotion, nicely scented products.
· Wear red lipstick, eye makeup.
· Wear light, modern perfumes.

· Tell him that whatever you want is your ‘ultimate fantasy’.

If you want to be married to a rich man, dress like a rich man’s wife.

Be unbothered

It’s so amazing to just not care. You have no idea how much better your life gets when you stop caring. When you stop caring about stuff that’s not beneficial to you, everything blossoms, everything. Because your attention is no longer on anything negative, it’s all on you, and so you blossom.

How to keep your man chasing you? Be busy, don’t call him all the time. Have a hobby or a business and let him have to go looking for you.

~~

Did you ever feel insecure about your weight?

“No.

At any weight my mental game was tight, it was good. I could get anything I wanted, so it never really held me back. The only thing that would ever make me feel insecure about anything is… I really don’t have a lot of insecurities anymore. I had the normal insecurities of a child. But when I grew up and I understood that you could take your power from any situation, you no longer have insecurities.

If I was insecure about my weight, I wouldn’t be up here on YouTube, and if someone says something about how I look, I don’t care. I say Okay yeah and so what? I’m eating good, I’m living good. It doesn’t bother me, because that’s not what defines me. I’m gonna get paid skinny or fat. I’m gonna be happy at whatever makes me feel happiest. So it’s all about how you feel about yourself and how you value yourself. You don’t base your self-worth on what other people think about you.

And the reason why I teach people you gotta look good if you want to turn heads and make men cross the room is because if you are trying to get a date, yes, you have to be concerned with what other people find attractive. But that should not ever play a role in your own personal self-esteem.

Whatever you need to feel good at the time, tomorrow or today, that’s what you need to be doing.”

~~

Got me a 750gs last year and have been testing my skills “off road” (bog lanes, gravel, grass, etc). It’s dramatically increased my confidence and skills AND I’m proud to not just be a Starbucks GS rider, even if it is only the baby one!
Because of that, I’ve dropped it a lot! Probably 5-7 times this year, usually in very soft ground and with the crash bars, no harm done.
Today’s drop was different. Was up the sleive blooms for a slow, scenic spin at 7/8am this morning and ended up missing a turn, so went to do a u-turn on a wide, straight section of road.
As soon as the bike was perpendicular to the road, it literally just fell from under me. I didn’t cut out, I didn’t change my body position, all I know is, bike hit the ground hard.
Pride hurt, I go to get it up and off the road. Side stand down, squat lift, onto the stand, happy days.
The SECOND I take my hand off the bike, it goes to fall again, in the same direction, and me not being ready for it, over it went.
The reason? In the rush to get back to the turn I missed, and being too disconnected from riding because it was quiet and I was going easy, I didn’t realise that the road I was on was steeper then I realised. Steep enough that even though I did put it on the side stand, it was still leaned too much.
The second drop broke my rear break switch. And my pride much more!
It’s due a service in the next few weeks anyway, and no doubt BMW will make me bite the pillow to replace, but I wanted to share.
ALWAYS have your mind on the ride. I got lucky, my pride was hurt and, bar labour, I broke a €30 part. But it could have been a trapped leg or a car not seeing me.
Sharing my shame to hopefully help others.
But at least the duckies got a good laugh.

Wrote up another last note im planning to leave soon. Like many others I suffered through traumatic things, endured swxual and physical abuse that somehow I still blame myself for (despite logically knowing I shouldnt), maybe in a twisted effort to give myself power. All I ever tried chasing was genuine connection with people but as I unfortunately couldn't properly socialise in my formative years I was always far away from what I saw as normal or ideal. Rapes harassment and other shit followed, only relationship i had was abusive and violent. Somehow managed ar least to get a career going and im just struggling around trying to fix myself and my life. It's always been extremely difficult to make friends or date normal people (seems hardly anyone likes me enough to date me) just burdened by loneliness. I've worked so hard to have a stable life, build routines, take care of myself and i do see changes, even people speak so much more differently about me and see me differently but none of it warms my heart. Seems I can't run away from that classic past of dysfunctional family, negligent father, affected mother, childhood depression bla bla. Worked so hard even going to therapy for so long, all I do is just count the days until that day. I just feel extremely tired I don't even have wishes or visions of my future, I know I can't fulfill my dreams and passions, I know I'll have to stay alone for a long time or even forever.
Just stupid to wallow around but I wanted to speak into the void somewhere since I can't bear to voice these things. It should end faster and I won't burden anyone anymore

We just added in meal 3 for our twins. So now we are doing 3 meals a day plus 5 bottles. I feel like we can’t go anywhere now because we have to make sure to get the meals/bottles in! And then it gets too close to naptime and I don’t want to ruin a good nap because they fell asleep for 5min in the car 😒. What are all of you doing in this in between stage when you’ve added in meal 3 but baby hasn’t started to decrease milk intake yet?

I (f17) and LI (love interest, m18) have a mutual connection and I know he really does care for me as I do him we have everything in common and a similar upbringing (we both have struggled with addiction and our own mental struggles) so we have a good bond between us.
only problem is hes still very much brainwashed??? which initially confused me because like myself and other pimo's he uses inappropriate language, has a "worldly" taste in music, media, sense of humor etc so i actually thought LI was a pimo! We've been getting really close but I've noticed he is super dedicated in the congregation and I have no idea if he is faking it or not...
I dont know how to approach him about it, we both like each other but havent talked about dating and I dont know if I should wait till them to tell him I'm a pimo or what. Do I try and wake him up? Will he think Im an apostate? I dont want to convert him to the world and steal him from god but I really see a potential future between us.
All comments are appreciate dont be afraid to ask questions. ♡♡♡ (also please be kind I truly love this guy and just want to know the best decision to make right now.)

FAQ

I live in Cuba/Canada/Haiti/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!
Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now the great old ones have awaken!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on faith, trust and pixie dust, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Have my first remote unpaid internship at a very early stage start up that makes robots for homes. I have the option to either work on the robot or work on their website. I haven't done anything with robotics and I would be better at the web dev stuff. I don't really care which option to pick really. Which option would look better for future employment? I graduate in a year and may not get another internship before i graduate.

So we know that the LGBTQ is Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Trans, and Queer. The thing is, the first 3, LGB are sexuality, the other 4 are expression. They are two completely different things being shoved into the same group. That's why the LGB and the TQ+ should be separate groups.
The LGB part is about sexuality, not gender, not none of that. I'm fine with all of it, you love who you love. But Jesus, people can't even be gay or straight with our being called transphobic. Like if they don't like pussy and they don't wanna date a trans woman. That's not transphobic.
And the whole thing with the trans community. I'm tired of being rejected from society Because I didn't know that someone was using neo pronoun: pumpkin/spice, for God's sake I didn't even know that existed. And now I'm apparently a bigot for not knowing. I'm not just going to go up to someone and be like "what's your pronouns?", I just won't do it.
Now, we got drag queens performing in front of children. That's too far, not too long ago, I saw a video of a drag queen teaching kindergarteners how to twerk, like wtf. Too far. And why are people promoting doing drag performances to children as young as 6 years old. That's messed up on a whole other level.
And the books in school about sexuality, yes they need that for like sex ed but kindergarteners and middle schoolers shount be able to go to their school library and find a book that has pictures of sex positions on it. Like keep the children out of this
The whole thing with the LGBTQ is insane, I can't go anywhere without LGBTQ pride being shoved down my throat. I'm tired of it, genuinely. I'm bisexual myself and I dread being apart of a stariotype that makes me seem like I do things that I don't and it pisses me off so much All I ask is that you leave the children out of the LGBTQ things until they are old enough and mature enough, that's all I ask.

For me it’s phoenix rose a ladybug story where Ruby is forced to have Adam’s child but grows to love him when seeing his silver eyes. The secret of him she keeps from her lover and family and friends makes this drama action series so emotionally appealing it would have been awesome to see in canon (helped the author who rocks gave us pictures and vivid descriptions)
What fanfic you’ve read you wanted to be canon instead of the main show?
