Women, I’m curious about your experience.

Have your husband's or partner's siblings influenced your relationship?

For example:

1.A man with 3 older sisters (do they tend to have a strong influence in family decisions?)

2. A man with younger sisters

3. A man with older brothers

4. A man with younger brothers

5. An only child

Did the sibling dynamics affect your relationship or marriage in any way? Did your sisters-in-law or brothers-in-law treat you differently depending on the family setup?

I went to a laptop store today, and the salesperson kept telling me that Intel is better than Ryzen for multitasking and programming. They also said the new Intel Core Ultra i7 laptops (around ₹1 lakh) are much better than Ryzen.

From what I've seen online, a lot of people seem to recommend Ryzen too, so now I'm confused.

Is Intel actually better these days or was the salesperson just trying to upsell me? I'd appreciate opinions from people who've used both rather than just benchmark comparisons

I'm having a weird issue with Reddit Chat.

Almost all of my previous chat history has disappeared, and I can only see a few usernames but can't see the chat history, It looks like the conversations were deleted, but I didn't delete anything.

I've already tried logging out and logging back in, restarting the app, and the issue is still the same.

Has anyone else run into this? Is this a Reddit bug, or is there any way to recover the missing chats?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For those working in software development, DevOps, cloud, cybersecurity, data, AI/ML, QA, networking or other IT domains..how much do communication skills matter in your day-to-day work?

Also, mention your IT domain and how important you'd rate communication skills (1–10)

I was listening to someone from a general caste family who said that in arranged marriages, the bride's family is generally expected to give around ₹1 crore along with gold and a flat.

He also said that even if the groom's parents say they don't want dowry, the bride's family is still expected to give it anyway. I'm only mentioning that he was from a general caste family for context, not to generalize. That honestly surprised me. How true is this based on your experience?

Has anyone here gotten married without giving any dowry? If so, did it affect how your husband or in-laws treated you afterward or was it genuinely never an issue? I'm just trying to understand how common this is today.

I'm 5'3 and pretty skinny and I'm trying to build a simple everyday wardrobe

What kind of jeans do you usually reach for? Straight-leg, mom jeans, slim, wide-leg, bootcut, flare, baggy, etc.?

Also, what bottoms do you wear the most besides jeans?

Looking for comfy, flattering options that don't overwhelm a petite frame. Would love to hear your go-to daily outfits and favorite brands too! 😊

I know sales roles obviously require strong communication, but what about digital marketing in general?

For those working in SEO, PPC, content, email marketing, social media, analytics, performance marketing, etc. how much of your day-to-day work actually depends on communication skills?

Is it mostly about talking to clients and teammates or can someone with average communication skills still do well if they're technically strong?

People who were underweight for years despite having normal thyroid, hormone levels, hemoglobin, and all the usual blood tests coming back fine,what finally helped you gain weight?

Did you see a gastroenterologist or any other specialist? Was there actually an underlying issue or did it just come down to eating more than you thought?

I'm curious because some people seem to eat a ton and still don't gain a single kg, even when all their test results look normal. Would love to hear from people who eventually figured it out

For people who ended up dating or marrying someone whose previous relationship ended because of distance, religion, caste, parents not agreeing, etc..rather than because they fell out of love, how did it turn out?

Did you move forward despite it? Did it ever feel like they still had unresolved feelings or was it a complete non-issue?

Would love to hear from people who dated, married or came across this in AM setups too

Just a fun observation, not sure how much truth there is to it, but I've heard people say that first-born sons and last-born daughters make great couples.

​

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I've seen a few couples with this combination around me. Maybe it's just coincidence and I'm noticing a pattern. What have you guys observed? Have you seen this combination work particularly well?

If you have a close friend of the opposite sex and it's completely platonic, what kind of physical affection feels normal to you?

Like, is it just handshakes, hugs, leaning on each other, cuddling, etc.? Where do you personally draw the line

For those working in skincare, haircare, cosmetics, personal care brands, or manufacturing, what roles are currently the most in demand besides sales and marketing? What does your day-to-day work involve, and how is the work-life balance?

​

Which positions have the best long-term growth, job security, and earning potential? Are there any roles that are underrated or not talked about much but offer good career opportunities?

​

I'd especially like to hear from people working at beauty brands, contract manufacturers, packaging suppliers, or cosmetic labs about what the industry is really like and where you see the most opportunities over the next few years

I've noticed that when some men talk about past relationships, they'll often say things like, "I helped her through a difficult time," "I was there when she was vulnerable," or "I did so much for her," and it sometimes sounds like they're listing achievements or investments that didn't give them the return they expected

​

I've heard women talk about feeling hurt or unappreciated too, but it often sounds different and less like keeping score.

​

Of course, everyone wants to feel appreciated, but I've noticed this framing more from men than women. When women talk about being hurt, it often sounds less like a list of things they did and more about how they felt.

​

Maybe I'm wrong, and it's just the people I've come across.

​

What's been your experience? Have you noticed this too, or do men and women just express the same feelings in different ways?

I know everyone is different and not all North Indian or Telugu people are the same, so I'm not trying to generalize.

​

I'm just curious about the experiences of Telugu girls who are dating or married to North Indian guys.

​

Did you notice any differences in how they treat you, communicate, show affection, handle relationships, or interact with family compared to Telugu guys? Were there any language barriers, cultural differences, lifestyle adjustments or challenges because of different backgrounds?

​

For those who are married, how was the transition after marriage? Any differences in food habits, traditions, family expectations or day-to-day life?

​

Would love to hear both positive and negative experiences

If both of you work, do you split everything 50/50, contribute based on income, or just treat it all as shared money? And if one spouse isn't working, how does that usually work?

​

Also, is this something you talked about before getting married, or did you figure it out as you went along?

​

Would love to hear how you guys handle it and whether you'd do anything differently if you could start over.

I've seen several dermatologists over the years, and a pattern I've noticed is that many of them seem rushed, dismissive, or unwilling to listen to patients' concerns. I understand they're busy and that treatments can be expensive, but if I'm paying a significant amount for a consultation, I'd at least appreciate a clear explanation of what's going on and how the treatment is supposed to work.

Another issue is the waiting time. Even when I arrive on time for my appointment, I'm often left waiting for a very long time with little or no communication about the delay. Sometimes I've traveled quite far for the appointment, so it's especially frustrating when there are delays and nobody updates patients.

What bothers me most is that when I ask questions about my condition, treatment plan, side effects, or expected results, some doctors seem annoyed or give very brief answers. In some cases, follow-up questions are ignored completely. The results also haven't always matched what was promised, which makes the lack of communication even more frustrating.

I'm genuinely curious whether others have had similar experiences with dermatologists, or if I've just been unlucky. What has your experience been like?
