I know bodyshaming is supposed to be a no-no, but I would like to say something.

It really really bugs me when I see too thin girls with legs the size of my forearms wear skinny jeans. On the contrary, it also bugs me when I see overweight people wear clothes so baggy it makes them look twice their size.

Am I a total asshole for thinking people should dress according to their bodytype?
That it's not okay to make yourself look even more skinny or fat than you already are?

Especially skinny people annoy me when their wear tight clothes. And when I say skinny, I don't mean people within a normal weightrange. I mean people who make you think "dear god would you please just eat a hamburger".

I know we're not supposed to care how we look in the eyes of others, and that it's politically correct to say everyone is beautiful no matter what. But what could possibly be obtained from making your legs look so thin it makes others want to kick them just to see if they snap?
What could possibly be obtained from looking obese when you're just slightly overweight?

Shouldn't the goal be to try and look healthy?

I'm not a fan of the whole "fat people can't wear tube tops" spiel, but I do think people should pay more attention to what fits their bodytype.
I know what fits mine and what doesn't. I know what makes me look like a homeless landwhale and what just makes me look like the nerdy enby I am. I know if I wore some of the clothes I really liked I'd look 8 months pregnant because they DON'T FIT MY BODYTYPE, so I DON'T WEAR THEM.

And I know it's none of my business how others dress. Still, it bugs me that someone would willingly make themselves look unhealthy.

@Unicorn: Greece is great. The weather is getting warmer now, but it's not unberably hot yet.
People are friendly, but drive like they're insane, haha

Gloria - This must be the place

It's originally from Talking Heads, but I like this cover better. The only cover I've heard I didn't like was by Arcade Fire. The rest of the covers are great.

@Unicorn: I always bawl my eyes out at the final episode

@Bonnie: It's great as long as you're not scared of traffic and you don't need to go to a hospital, haha. The food is amazing and affordable, and the weather is great so far.


@kiwi: Denmark was great when it came to healthcare, but other than that it's a bit meh. It rained all the time, and seeing as I was on disability I could barely afford edible food.

The pay here in Greece is less than I made on Danish disability, but with rent and food being way cheaper, I'll actually be able to set a good sum of money aside each month. My goal is to save up enough money to attend my sister's wedding in august

There's this guy on my team I've made friends with since day 1. He is super nice and overly polite, but the more I get to know him, the more his insecurities shine through and I realise he's a tryhard.
He's always offering to buy me food or coffe, which I often decline because I don't want to take advantage of him. He also often wants to hold my hand or rub my arm while asking if I'm okay. (he's gay so I know there's no agenda as I present female for my own protection)
He also tells me at least once a day how glad he is I'm his friend.

If he can get away with it he sneaks a hug from anyone near him, and he's always complimenting everyone. He's also overly apologetic.

All of this points towards him being a nice guy who is just a little worried people won't like him
Which he often talks about. "This and that person doesn't like me"

I know I'm an asshole and he's really a super nice guy, but when people tryhard to get me to like them when I've already said I like them, it bugs me. When people are overly nice, it bugs me.
It makes me grumpy and withdrawn and I have no reason for being that way! Logically, I should be thrilled someone nice actually wants to spend time with me! I should be glad he's buying me coffee because we both know I can't afford to get it myself! I should be grateful!

But noooo, my warped brain goes "ewww, affection"

What the heck is wrong with me? And does behaviour like his seem off-putting to anyone else?
Am I the only one who's mind works in this strange way?

@kiwi: I've only been here for three weeks, so it's all still relatively new. Oh and the food is amazeballs. Even the pizza is better here than it was in Denmark

@kiwi: Greece is pretty neat. I live in a very charming suburd of Athens called Moschato. There are orange trees in the streets, and the buildings are so charming. People are superfriendly to me and my brother becuase we're foreigners and tip well when we can.

@Bonnie: Thank you! I need to explore the shops and slap together an avatar soon, can't keep being a naked person forever lol

I agree with Aonani.
If you don't want to have a baby, don't have unprotected sex. Mutual masturbation or dry humping works just fine.

If people can't even shell out 10$ for a pack of condoms or birth control pills, how on earth are they gonna be able to afford all the stuff a baby needs?
I'm not saying poor people shouldn't have kids, that's not at all what I'm saying. Although... If you are so poor you can't take proper basic care of the child, you are probably not in a position where it would benefit anyone if you had one.

People overrate sex. Sex consists of two things, intimacy and orgasms.
Lots of people think they need the orgasmic part of sex to obtain intimacy. It could just as easily be obtained by spooning and gently stroking each other's bodies.
There's nothing wrong with spooning your partner naked and then resolving to hand jobs if one or both parties feel like they need the orgasm on top of that.

If people can't afford the consequences of penetrative unprotected sex, they shouldn't have it. There are other ways to get orgasms and intimacy.

Hey Faerie! It's a me, Nova from Discord! The name was already taken here, so I had to go for my other name.

I read somewhere in your thread that your bestie is an apprentice mortician. Please tell me they like Six Feet Under! :P
