Online friends

A couple of days ago, I saw a post here from someone looking for online friends, and it really resonated with me. I would love to connect with queer folks or anyone open to genuine online friendships.

I enjoy watching anime, reading manga, and movies. I would not say I have many hobbies, but I am always up for a good conversation about life, relationships, or anything meaningful.

Note: I have enabled my DMs hoping to meet some genuine people. If you have any ulterior motives, please do not bother messaging. I will probably just report and block.

Home workouts

Any recommendations for homeworkout videos...

I was doing Chloe tings videos but I hit a plateau and currently doing the iron series.

Would be nice if it's similar to a schedule containing app like Chloe ting

Anyone have hair fall to the point the maid has mentioned it?

So I visit Kerala every other year and stay at my in-laws house. One day the MIL says to me "do you have hair fall?"

I was like "Yes, I do. Why?".

She said "the maid has said there was a lot of hair in the room when she went to clean"...

I was thinking well that shouldn't be a huge surprise because we all shed hair and a few strands here and there is normal to me, we all shed about 50-100 hair strands a day according to google. Especially as someone who lives abroad it's more common because of the hard water. But when I do shed hair, I make sure to bin it so that it's not on the floor, but you obviously can't always catch every hair that falls.

So my question is, has anyone else had the same such comments passed to you about hair fall?

Don't you girls shed much that there are some strands on the floor? Is that not normal?

What do you do to reduce hair fall that actually works? Are there any oils that you use? Please suggest 🙏🏾

Migration thoughts and experience

Just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts on migration to AUS, US, EU, etc are. From a women's perspective as well. Given how so many people are migrating to Australia, NZ, EU the job market will be more difficult to enter but consultancies still advertise it as the best move rather than staying in countries like UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, etc.

I feel like a lot of it is consultancies trying to sell people dreams. I know a few families who migrated and apart from one or two of them, others are all struggling. Ofc these are just a few so I don't want to generalize.

Compared to GCC, I feel like women will have more chances at skilled professions in AUS and EU. GCC and SEA countries are always biased and we are automatically filtered out as not eligible for many job roles just because of our gender. I studied chemical engineering, but I don't have any hope rn that I will even get a entry level job adjacent to what I studied. I sometimes get a what if thought....what if I had immigrated 9 years back to AUS or any other western country along with my friends? I know it's useless to dwell upon it.

The salaries for skilled professions are higher there, but lifestyle is also entirely different and I feel like I will find it very hard to gel with the atmosphere there. Idk maybe it's influenced by where I grew up but me and husband love to sit at home, watch movies and talk and munch on snacks. Drives and outings are something we enjoy only if done occasionally. Work life balance is seemingly more in these countries so it's healthier in the long run.

Anyways what do y'all think?

How soon is too soon?

So I recently came across a post by an influencer in which she mentioned that she met a guy a month ago, and he has given her flowers, a promise ring and she's also calling herself a 2027 bride already. They are going on their 4th date today 😭😭😭

To me it seems kind of insane and like they're going way too fast. Ofc everyone has their own pace but they've already also introduced each other to parents? It seems like it's all too soon imo. Did any of you have such an experience where things clicked very fast?

Do y’all also make fake scenarios before sleeping or am I too far gone.

Like full cinematic universes in my head before sleeping, fake arguments, fake love stories etc .

Please tell me this is a universal girl experience and not just my brain refusing to sleep .

People who had a good casual relationships/situationships experience, what made it work?

What boundaries actually helped to keep things healthy and what red flags should someone avoid?

Was there a point where it stopped feeling “casual”?

Am I being a red flag?

Um... I've been in a relationship for six months... Yeah.. ente first time alla.. pullikarante aanu... Ente first allelum Enikkum valya experience onnum ella... Coz all of mine were online (including this) and never lasted more than 1 month... He's a busy man... Ethrem naalum oru free bird aayirunnu... Friends.. family... Pinne work...Ithokke kazhinju maathre enne focus cheyyu.... Not that he doesn't cares... He does cares... He comforts me and all.. but you know... When you're the only pillar for your family you've many responsibilities... I understand that... But even if I knew it... I can't help but be greedy for his attention... Like all time... I know it's not good... Samayam kittumba pullikkaran enne contact cheyyunde... But if he's busy.. or with his family or friends.. he would ignore my call or msg... And that kinda hurts me... Even I communicated it with him... But still he repeats it... But whenever I'm depressed he calms me down... And... Since we're in a LDR I want constant interaction... But he's the type to limit calls... Like... We call frequently... But won't talk for long time... I know he's trying his best for me... But still sometimes I feel like "entha ithikoode attention thanna?"... And yeah I'm a big attention seeker... And sometimes... I drives him crazy... I feel bad about it... But he never complains... Am I being too much?

Have y'all noticed how women infantalise and put down themselves in relationships?

I just had a realisation that a lot of women around me infantalise themselves when they are in a relationship to put their partners on pedestal. In most of the cases, it starts from I'm very "immature" and he's very "mature" to how their work their education or achievements is nothing compared to their man's. Why do even successful feminist women do it?

I recently saw a girl with a postgraduate degree marry someone who's not as educated, saying that even though I have degrees, my husband is more smart. I know a degree doesn't always mean they are smart, but when was the last time you all saw a man put down himself or his achievements to elivate his wife and her achievements?

Why are women the one's who always downplay themselves, starting from their intellectual capabilities to their emotional regulation capabilities just to show how better their husbands or partners are?

I also just had a talk with someone from the sub about the same thing, and they said it's their choice to do so. Why do women always make such choices in life to put down themselves?

Seeking clarity about his intentions 🙂

A friend introduced me to one of her friends as a potential marriage prospect about eight months ago. Since then, we have known about each other through our mutual friend. She often spoke about me to him and about him to me.Our friend encouraged us to talk directly, but both of us were hesitant at first. About four weeks ago, he sent me a follow request on Instagram, which I accepted. Knowing that he might be shy to initiate the conversation, I decided to message him first.We talked for about three days, and I genuinely felt that he was a nice person. Then, all of a sudden, the messages stopped. I sent him another message, and he replied that he was not very active on Instagram. After that, we spoke for two more days. He was funny, sent voice messages, and the conversations felt comfortable and enjoyable.However, just like before, the communication suddenly stopped again.

I shared this with our mutual friend, and she was also confused. She gave me his phone number and suggested that I message him directly. I was hesitant, but she told me that she had already informed him that she had shared his number with me.So, three days ago, I sent him a simple message on WhatsApp saying hi, introduced myself, and mentioned that our friend had given me his number. He still hasn’t replied.At this point, there has been no communication for almost two weeks, and I honestly don’t know what happened. My initial impression was that he seemed genuine and loyal. Now, I’m left wondering whether he has lost interest or if he is simply a very slow communicator.

Meal prep ideas

Hey girls, genuine question about protein intake 😅Our meals are usually very rice-heavy (choru + curry), so I’ve been wondering how other women here manage their protein intake daily without completely changing our normal food habits.

What do you usually eat in a day for protein?

Like:

breakfast

with choru

snacks

dinner

Do you consciously try to hit protein goals or just eat normally?

Would love realistic answers from women who eat regular Kerala food because most online advice feels very Western diet-focused 🥲

How open are you with your arranged marriage partner?

I got married through an arranged marriage setup and had only met my husband three times before the wedding. But during that phase, we spoke a lot about our lives, past relationships, insecurities, random thoughts…pretty much everything.

Now we’re 9 months into marriage, and honestly, I’ve never been this emotionally open with anyone before. Not even in my previous 6 year relationship. With him, conversations feel effortless and safe in a way I didn’t expect at all.

It made me wonder is this common in arranged marriages?
Like, does the starting fresh aspect somehow make people more emotionally transparent? Or did I just get lucky with compatibility?

Would love to hear how it was for others in arranged marriages.

How to love again after being with someone who set your standards really high?

It was my first relationship and he was an amazing human being. He was doing exceptionally well in all aspects of life. Somebody that I looked up to. He had achieved everything despite being born in a poor family by his own merit. Excellent at communication and emotional intelligence and was very well read. The relationship didn’t workout because of various reasons. It has been a while since it ended, however every new person I talk to can’t even hold a candle to him. I am feeling afraid that I might never meet anyone who is even half the man he is. How do I get over this ? Any advice is appreciated.

How to slowly becoming unforgettable.

How to slowly becoming unforgettable.

I reconnected with my FWB 20 days after the breakup.

We were just chatting — it was about editing a photo.

I thought he wouldn’t reply, but he actually responded in a way that wasn’t as dry as I expected.

He even explained a few personal things while replying.

I was the one who ended the chat.

I do want a future in this relationship, but I don’t want to rush it either.

How can I slowly make a place in his mind in a way that he won’t be able to forget me over time?

NB: He’s a sailor, and the only connection between us right now is chatting....

First time mom to be, looking for advice

Hello ladies!
