GIRLS SEEKS ADVISES ON HOW TO INCREASE THE CHANCES OF FINDING A BF

0

I know how this might seem but hear me out..

So I’m a single 24F and I’ve never been in a proper “relationship” like boyfriend and girlfriend, but I’ve been in plenty of situationships.

I guess I am not a forward person so I’ve never initiated the talk (I don’t think I would ever want to have dated any of those people anyways), but I’m truly wondering how two people become bf/gf, like how the conversation is brought up, when, who brings it up, etc.

So anyway, just asking for people’s personal experiences on how they landed in a relationship.

I’m reaching an age where my parents/relatives are asking and I have literally no idea … how… to even get started with that chapter of my life. I’ve never really had anyone tell me how they became official.

I think my point is that I’ve spoken to plenty of men for long enough but no one had initiated that convo, but I’ll see women who are able to have a bunch of relationships and I’m just curious why I’m built different

Here are what netizens think:

  • Download the dating app loh
  • I’m a 35M that got into my relationship with my 35F girlfriend because we met back in primary school and we reconnected many years later and we ended up being a couple.
  • A friend and I started spending more and more time together. We’d have sleepovers, go on long walks when neither of us could sleep, and we’d spit Boba pearls at one another. When I realized I’d fallen for him, I just blurted out that I wanted to be with him. He told me that he felt the same and things have been good ever since.
  • After you’ve been seeing someone for some time, you can ask “hey, do you want to be exclusive?”. It can help if you can wait a bit before having sex. Establish a relationship based on common interests etc before getting physical.

GIRL SAYS SHE CANNOT TURN ON HER BF, WHO OFTEN REJECTS HER ADVANCES

0

My bf and I have been dating for 2 years and he recently hinted to me that he is preparing to propose to me. I got to know him through mutual friends. He’s 8 years older than me. We love each other very much but I worry we may not be compatible in bed.

The issue is he is less keen in doing the deed with me than I am into him. I find myself initiating most of the time. Sometimes he rejects me or wants to stop after I’m done which I find is weird. But I know during the process he is really into it so I don’t know why he would be ok with just cuddling. I’ve talked to him about it and he said he loves me and he finds doing it is not so important now as we will have a lifetime together. Really? He’s my 2nd serious bf so I don’t have much experience to compare.

Everything else about him is great. He is filial to his parents and show many traits of being a great partner. He cleans the floor at home and his room is actually neater than mine. He hangs the laundry and fold/iron clothes like an expert and he also wash the dishes. He also knows how to cook. Career wise he has been upgrading himself and he was promoted earlier than his peers. I would say he is a highly self driven person. My parents like him a lot and already treat him like a son in law. I find that emotionally and spiritually we can connect very well. I’m very attracted to him mentally and physically. He’s also very fit as he is a sporty person.

He’s a very organized person. Other than work, he packs his day with courses, exercise, on top of spending time with me. Other times he also makes time to connect with his friends. Even when he is so busy, I never felt that he is giving me leftover time. He influenced me to want to improve myself too. I start to wake up early and exercise with him on weekends and join classes to upgrade myself. I really enjoy having him in my life, as a boyfriend and also as a friend.

I find he has very high EQ. Many times I didn’t mean to hint anything to him but he took my words and turned them into actions which made me feel very loved. Once I mentioned I couldn’t find a seasonal coffee anymore and he managed to get me some from overseas. Just one example of the many times he did something thoughtful.

I can imagine how it would be like living with him and I think I would really love it. I think if he propose to me, I would say yes. But intimacy wise I worry I may not be turning him on as much as he turns me on. Sometimes I feel hurt and find it hard to accept that he would reject intercourse. Would this be a major problem for us in the long run? I don’t believe he is cheating or have some hidden weird fetish or what so I’m considering that he just seems to have a lower drive than me.

MAN EATS BACON ALL DAY AND SLIMS DOWN 20KG IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS

0

After doing my own research I do believe that what I’ve learned has helped me on my journey.

The diet that was low in carbohydrates and proteins and high in dietary fat originally in the 1920s ketogenic diet was to help reduce blood sugar cholesterol

So I know a lot of people will think that the bacon diet is unhealthy and probably will clot my arteries but there are always 2 sides to a coin.

I supplement my diet of bad fats/cholesterol with good fats and cholesterol such as eating avocado and olive oil.

I add in a simple high intensity 10 min workout daily when I woke up.

If I’m not hungry I don’t eat, when your body is used to burning fat from your body it won’t need so much food.

Trust me, food is not as accessible in ancient times compared to now, You won’t die for not eating for 24 hours. Sometimes I go up to 36 hours of water fast. (But please only do this after you are in the process of ketosis or you might get gastric.)

When I do my water fasting, which I do once a week I don’t even feel hungry. My stomach did not growl, not even once.

In my 60 days, fat loss journey, I lost 19.4kg

I started from 106kg and I am about 87kg right now.

This is one of my meals

The following is what I eat on an almost daily basis This is only less than 500 calories per meal and it takes around 2,500 calories to maintain my weight.

So by consuming only 1,000- 1,500 calories a day I am looking to lose at least 1.5kg a week and I do a simple 10 min high-intensity interval exercise at home with no gym equipment.

Such as: Jogging on the spot for 30 seconds, push up 30 seconds, job, mountain climbers and so on.

So I would normally eat this one a day and I feel full all day.

Sometimes I separate the below foods into two meals.

DailyCalorieskcalCarbsgFatgProteingSodiummgSugarg
Egg, 1 large72056710
Kewpie – Kewpie Mayo (Tbs), 1 Tbsp10801207100
Bacon – Bacon, 3 pieces12001184802
Cow Head Cheese – Cheese, 1 Slice6505400
Olive oil – Vegetable Oil, 1 tbs120014000

Nature’s Wonder – Baked Macadamia MJ, 30 g218322212
Nature’s Wonders – Baked Walnuts with Cashew, 30 g203319511

Cheat days?

Well, Keto is different from other kinds of diets, when we break the process of ketosis your body can take 3-5 days to kick start ketosis again.

So I only do cheat meals every 6 weeks. Eating fatty foods that I love doesn’t even require me to undergo any cheat meal days.

In my 2 month period, I took 1 cheat meal.

So how do I determine what can I eat and cannot eat?

Anything with carbohydrates I will avoid such as:

  • Sugar
  • Noodles
  • Rice
  • Bread
  • Milk
  • Potato

LED WREATHS BANNED BY MULTIPLE FUNERAL PARLOURS – POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD

Notices have been put up by multiple funeral parlours in Singapore, including Singapore Casket and Sin Ming Funeral Parlour, banning the use of LED funeral wreaths, according to Death Kopitiam Singapore.

The reason for this is because of safety concerns such as daily power trips and the wreaths being potential fire hazards.

May be an image of text that says "Dear Valued Customers We would like to inform you effective 16/05/2022, strictly NO LED WREATHS are allow inside and outside the premise due to Fire Safety Measure. We will appreciate your kind attention to the above and we look forward to your continuous support. Thank you 7:06 PM"

Issued notices

Sin Ming Funeral Parlour’s notice reads:

“Dear valued customers,

We would like to inform you strictly no LED wreaths are allowed to place inside and outside Sin Ming Funeral Parlour.

We look forward to your continuous support.”

No photo description available.

Singapore Casket also pasted a notice with illustrations of the LED wreaths, saying:

“These electronic wreaths, or similar designs, inflatable towers such as lanterns, gates, arches, are not allowed to place inside Singapore Casket lavender parlours.

Singapore Casket reserves the right to dispose it without any prior notice if any.”

Power surge

A Sin Ming FUneral Parlour representative spoke to Shin Min Daily News, explaining that the decision was made due to fire risk and electrical safety concerns.

Another funeral parlour also said that they experienced a power surge caused by the LED wreaths which led to a power trip, and that their CCTV and router were interrupted, and they have since stopped permitting them in their premises.

GIRL SCARED TO WEAR MINI SKIRTS CAUSE SHE IS AFRAID OF MEN

0

A girl shared her story about how she wants to dress in a way she likes but is afraid of men staring or making comments at her.

She describes her situation as if she is the only woman in the world.

Here is the story:

It’s so wild to me that even though none of these is inherently sexual, and of being sexy isn’t your intention, men will STILL find ways to sexualize you and be creepy.

Like with crop tops even the tiniest bit of STOMACH can “turn men on” and they can’t control themselves for some reason. With short skirts, the sight of thighs and legs can make men be creepy. This is why I don’t wear short skirts that are too short and I always short under them, same with dresses. I like skirts and dresses that come up a bit above the knees, as well as long float skirts and dresses.

Men seem to think women dress for their pleasure. We DON’T. Heck, I’m straight but I dress to impress other women and also just because I enjoy my sense of fashion. I don’t dress so that men can be creepy.

I’m so sick of having to suppress my true fashion sense because I’m scared of how weird men might react. I don’t have forever to dress how I want.

The weather is hot now, it’s hot out and I want to look cute and pretty in skirts and dresses and crop tops but it’s because of men that I’m scared to when I shouldn’t have to be. Ffs it’s 2022. We shouldn’t be primitive still, but apparently, a lot of men still are.

I know that men are more “visual” but that’s no excuse to behave the way they do. Nothing is an excuse to behave that way. You don’t see women being creepy to a man who’s out without his shirt on. Or homosexual women being creepy to other women. I’m sure there are women out there who are like that and that’s wrong too, but it’s usually men who are that way to women who look more “revealing” whatever tf that means.

We ALL have a stomach. We ALL have thighs and legs. Nothing inherently sexual about any of that. I just don’t understand, for the life of me, why men can’t control themselves. Women simply can’t exist in peace and naturally feel safe.

With men, we are ALWAYS in fight or flight mode. It’s just so exhausting. As proud as I am to be a woman, sometimes I wish was anything but.

Here are what netizens think:

  • You think too much, a creep can make things sound wrong no matter what you wear.
  • Aiya what a over reacting girl, kpkb don’t wear la. Just stay at home and look in the mirror all day.
  • It is obviously more likely when it’s less clothing or whatever is deemed “promiscuous” but unfortunately that’s just how it is. As far as safety goes that’s not necessarily a man problem but a societal problem. It’s the fault of those victim blamers who think that a lack of modesty is what makes you unsafe, as opposed to the living breathing scum of the earth who just have evil thoughts and do evil things regardless of what you wear

GUY GOES ON BLIND DATE, HORRIFIED TO SEE THAT IT’S HIS AUNTIE

0

A netizen shared a story about how his friend set him up on a blind date with an older woman, and when he reached the place, he was horrified to see that it’s his auntie.

Here is what he said

For context purposes, I have always been attracted to older women. I am in my mid 20s.

I have a friend who told me that he has a colleague whom he described as being in her 40s and still looking very taut and beautiful.

He said that she has been single for more than 10 years and wants to put herself out there again, and so I thought why not, introduce us and we’ll see how it goes.

Reason being, I have been unsuccessful on dating apps, and can’t seem to find an older woman who swipes right on me.

Plus, I heard that older women are more experienced in bed and more wild and adventurous than their younger counterparts.

So he set us up on a blind date at a cafe near Prinsep, and I met up with my friend so that he could bring me to the cafe where he planned the meeting with her.

We walked in and he introduced me to the woman, whom I instantly recognised as my auntie, and I instantly lost the ability to talk because I was so shocked.

She was also shocked and asked what I was doing there, and my friend then cut in, you two know each other?

I told him “that’s my auntie lah wtf”, and he burst out laughing.

So I said never mind, since we are here, might as well grab a meal together since I’m hungry, forget about the date.

We grabbed some drinks as we talked about our lives before we left to eat some mala hotpot, and thank god my friend was there if not it would have been all kinds of awkward.

And she even paid for the bill lol.

Definitely an interesting night.

FATHER HOPES TO RAISE $1.7M TO FOR 7 Y.O SON’S CANCER TREATMENTS

0

The disease is one of the worse things that can happen to you and even more heartbreaking when it happens to your loved ones.

A father posted on thaddybear.com hoping to raise funds for his son’s cancer treatment.

On the crowdfunding website, the page stated a goal of S$1,698,450 and so far over $400,000 has been raised.

Here is a description of the 7-year-old boy’s condition:

Dear Family, Friends and Comrades,

As you might have heard, my younger son, Thaddeus, was diagnosed with High-Risk Neuroblastoma at the age of 7 last year. Neuroblastoma (NB) is a rare form of childhood cancer that affects less than 10 children in Singapore each year.

Since Thaddeus’s diagnosis, he has received numerous treatments and had undergone surgery. As a family, we stand together with him to combat the illness, and Thaddeus has displayed amazing resilience thus far. We have strong hopes and will not give up.

However, the road to recovery is a long one and involves significant costs. To that end, I have started to raise funds for Thaddeus in preparation for the long-drawn battle.

My brothers-in-arms began spreading the message this morning and the response from the community has been immense. I am very grateful for the encouragement, support and contributions. Yours truly,Brian Anthony Thomas

What is NB?

NB develops in the nerve cells and can spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, bones, bone marrow and soft tissue. High Risk Neuroblastoma is very difficult to treat and requires multimodal treatment that usually lasts more than a year. Children with High Risk Neuroblastoma have to go through chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplant, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and maintenance treatment. The side effects are extensive and rough on the children.

To help Thaddeus: the donation link can be found here.

MAID BROKE UP WITH BF, BF WENT TO HER HOME TO ARGUE WITH EMPLOYERS

A video emerged online showing a man went to a maid’s home (or workplace) after the two of them had apparently broken up.

The man, who is believed to be from Bangladesh, asked the maid’s employers (who were with her at the time in the video) why she shared his photo onto social media.

The employer said that she has other things (to do) and that she doesn’t need to focus on the man’s personal life.

The employer then added that their personal lives have nothing to do with how the maid takes care of the (employer’s) children.

The maid then shouted “eh you know before my video viral, write until Bangladesh let everyone know, you have wife and kids, why you bluff me!”

The employer’s husband then gave the man 5 seconds to leave before he calls the police, as he started counting to five, and the man then left.

MAN GIVES RETAIL GIRL HIS NUMBER, ASKED “WHY YOU DIDN’T TEXT ME”

0

So I’m home for the holidays, and I started working at my usual part-time job. They love having me back and could always use the help since it’s a small retail shop. I love working there, but sometimes the people I encounter are…not great, but that’s a story for another day.

On my second day back, a man gave me his number and left. I wasn’t interested so I wasn’t going to text him, but was definitely flattered since I don’t get that attention very often. The next day (yesterday) he came back in, and asked me why I didn’t text him. At this point, I became VERY uncomfortable, because who the EFF does that? If you give someone your number and they don’t text, DON’T BRING IT UP AGAIN, THEY’RE NOT INTERESTED.

He noticed I got uncomfortable and even said “what’s that look for?” I’m not very confrontational, so I didn’t know how to say I was uninterested and just said I was tired because my cat kept waking me up the night before (which was true).

Not to mention I’m in the middle of working and am scared of angering him. I’m almost scared to go back to work because I don’t want to deal with that again. It’s obvious I wasn’t interested, and by the looks of it, he seems to want to keep pushing. He saw I got visibly uncomfortable and still pushed. I hate it.

I’m nice because I have to be, not because I want to be. Men, stop giving women who are working your numbers. They aren’t interested. And don’t bring it up to them again if they don’t text. It just makes things awkward and uncomfortable for us.

Luckily for the next two weeks, I’m on night shift, so hopefully, he doesn’t figure that out and comes and harasses me, especially because I’ll be alone.

Here are what netizens think:

  • I think a lot of men are told to go after what they want, don’t take no for an answer, pursue and chase til you win etc. I don’t know if all of those types realize what they are doing is scary and creepy and just flat out cringey or not, but you’d think they’d have a clue by now.
  • Suggest as a precaution you start a diary back to the initial coming in and then subsequent things. It would be nice to say nothing will happen from here but it might . Some people can be obsessive. At the time when it gets to the reporting stage documentation is important from management levels to the authorities
  • A lot of Men (me included) don’t get much attention from the opposite sex, so when a women is nice to us it’s hard to guess if the interest is genuine or not.

GIRL BROKE UP WITH BF OVER HER ARMPIT HAIR, REFUSES TO SHAVE FOR HIM

0

I just broke up with my boyfriend over armpit hair.

My now ex-boyfriend and I got in an argument over me not shaving, and that was it for me. He said he wouldn’t be attracted to me.

I was already not very happy in the relationship and I’m so relieved.

This was the same man who coerced me into sleeping with me, roped me into saying I love you, and lied to me. This was just the final straw.

Ladies, never settle. It’s not worth it.

Netizens’ comments

  • You threw the whole man out, good on ya
  • Cheers! My ex boyfriend broke up with me over my leg hair. He said me not shaving was like two men living together? We weren’t even living together yet.
    He told me all this over text so I have screenshots and sent them to my friends.
  • People like that confuse me. I literally cannot imagine caring that much about someone else’s armpit hair. I don’t even put that much thought into my own armpit hair. Good on you for dumping him.
