This is the better referent to telling a guy his dick is too small, not telling a woman her boobs aren't big enough. Small boobs have plenty of avid fans, whereas having a little knob or a cavernous vajay is supposed to be both an insurmountable obstacle and a source of profound shame per the dominant cultural narrative.

i agree that finding it "earth shattering" is too much. but is being even a bit upset by it an overreaction? "sometimes i wish my wife's vagina was tighter." "sometimes i wish my wife was skinnier." "sometimes i wish my wife's boobs were bigger/perkier." if you saw that your partner had said those things to someone, you would be perfectly unbothered by it? if so you're more stoic than 99% of people

I am actually married and I don’t think it’s stoic to be able to recognize that you and your partner are human beings and not perfect. As an ED recovered person, it is actually very comforting to know that my partner is capable of distinguishing between idealizations (it would be hot if my wife lost ten pounds) and current reality (I love my life’s body because I love my wife).

I genuinely don’t think it’s healthy to not be able to express the pros and cons of your sexual relationship with your partner and penis or vagina size can be part of that. It’s annoying to have to defend myself against MISANDRY because I think a husband who divorces his wife over a perfectly normal thought is throwing his marriage in the trash because of ego. Saying that is empathetic instead of actually a really awful thing to do to someone who loves you and said one (unintentionally) hurtful thing is to me the same as conceding that this is earth shattering.

not to mention there are plenty of options that can make both parties happy in that respect, as long as they're open with each other and able to make peace with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around flesh :shrug:

it's right up there with people who take the realization that their partner has a vibrator as though they were cheating on them.

And I’m not saying women wouldn’t care or cry over it. I am saying that women are not socialized to expect men to play into the pretense that they have the best pussy ever. In fact we are socialized to assume that every other pussy is better and we’d better learn how to make up for it by compromising as much as possible to keep a man satisfied with the burden of male monogamy. And feminists recognize and push back against that socialization because it’s harmful to everyone. The male analog would be resisting this idea that men can have a perfect penis. And I think part of that is accepting that sex is not something you give your partner with your dick; therefore it need not meet some magical threshold at which your lady simply can’t imagine better.

Anyway, I want this to be my last post on this.

Actually, the glory Business Hole® is a new financial practice enacted by the CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) Disciplines & Ethics Board. Double blind studies have shown that clients who seek financial advice through a glory Business Hole® have better financial outcomes. I'm not saying this because I am biased, this is based on decades of research on hundreds of test penii.

As paradoxical as it is, when a client is reduced to the length and girth of their phallic member Certified Financial Planner Professionals® are able to provide more objective advice that helps that penis achieve its financial goals. Whether that is retiring at 50 and enjoying a simple life of hunting and fishing or maintaining a lifestyle the penis is accustomed to in retirement, including being able to fly out to every graduation for every grandchild in a large family, the results are the same: by focusing on the penis, CFP® professionals are better able to advise, instruct, and guide our clients to better fiscal outcomes.

By focusing on the penis, a CFP®'s clients become more relatable, and more human. But it also provides an, ideally, six and a half inch distance which allows for objective judgment on their financial situation so that they can reach financial goals which are important to them.

I often refer prospective clients to other professionals who specialize in especially small and narrow or large and girthy cocks. I practice good financial ethics by refusing to serve penises outisde of my area of specialty, which is 573 billion microns in length to 1,117 billion microns. Or, in more relatable terms, five and three fourths of an inch to six and three quarters.

It would be a breach of my professional ethics to step outside of my area of expertise, which is why I network with other professionals who specialize in insurance, estate planning, and accounting for penises of all sizes. As a CFP®, I am what you might call a financial sherpa. For your penis.

Then it's doubly sad because you're telling men how they should feel about things that you obviously don't have a personal stake or grasp on.

The context is a man snooping on a private conversation and then beginning divorce proceedings over his wife saying that his dick is perfect most of the time but not always. By saying that we shouldn't tell him that he's overreacting, you're expressing an expectation that women should never describe a penis as anything less than perfect, not even in private conversation, because even the mildest criticism might completely destroy their partner's ego. I think you're not intending to do that, but like I said: the context is pretty bad. So why can't the stated expectation from this story instead be "let's continue trying to teach men that size actually isn't the most important thing ever" or "don't snoop on private conversations" or "men should learn to accept that no penis is perfect (except maybe cumshitter's but not in the woman-pleasing way unless you're super into Lovecraftian horror)"?

Of course anyone would be upset to hear a partner criticizing their appearance or physical characteristics in private. But I don't think that I've ever been with a partner where physical criticisms were completely off-limits, and I sure as gently caress wouldn't get divorced over a comment that summarizes to "almost perfect", and I'm sure you can agree that the OP is overreacting here. I actually think that it's pretty normal for adults to have these kinds of conversations, there have been plenty of threads posted over "how do I get my SO to change X in a tactful way".

AITA for asking my mother to stop saying "Give me the D" and "I need the D"
u/physicsty
This isnt anything major that I did, but my sister thinks I shouldnt have said anything. Anyway, on to what happened...

My mom loves to abbreviate things, she thinks it is fun. She also loves to golf. She says things like "You have a BO" (meaning birdie opportunity), "FISA" (meaning F__ I'm Still Away), and a few others as well as a bunch that have nothing to do with golf.

For those of you who don't golf on a regular basis, knowing your distance from your target is important on every shot. I recently purchased a laser range finder which you can use to find the distance to any target. Well, in turn, my mom keeps saying to me "Give me the D", "I need the D", and various other versions of that which dont sound as salacious.

My mom is in her 60's, she has no clue what "the D" is in modern youth culture (it means "the dick"), but it was making me a little uncomfortable and was really awkward when she said it when we were playing with other people.


The other day when I was playing with my mom and my sister I asked to to stop saying that and informed her what it meant and sounded like. My mom was a bit embarassed and was fairly quiet for the next 20 or so minutes (she is NEVER quiet), but after a couple of holes everything was back to normal.

After the round my sister came up to me and said I shouldnt have said anything and should have just left it alone. I thought I picked a good time because she wasnt around anyone but her own kids and was trying to prevent future awkwardness. AITA?

AITA for asking my girlfriend to cover up her body hair (pubes) at a public pool?

My girlfriend doesn’t remove any of her body hair anymore. I respect this choice and have never had any problem with it. Her body hair doesn’t grow very long and it isn’t glaringly noticeable unless you are very close to her. We are currently on vacation in Vegas. We are planning to go to encore beach club. For those who have never heard of it, it is a very pretentious clubby space where your apparennce matters. They have a dress code and are notorious for only letting in ‘attractivene’ people. Women go there in bikinis with high heels and a full face of makeup for example. My girlfriend was getting ready to go and I noticed that she put on a bikini. Normally, i’d Not think twice about this. She works out a lot and has a good body and everything so she does look very good in a bikini. The thing is, since she no longer removes her body hair it means she has hair growing outside of the bikini line area. So when she wears a bikini, the hair on the side shows because it grows somewhere that isn’t covered. Her hair isn’t super thick or long or anything, but she is pale has black hair so it’s noticeable. On top of that the bikini she chose is a bright highlighter pink color.

When I saw this is nicely pointed out to her that her hair was kind of obvious and suggested that instead she wear one if her swimsuits that has shorts instead. She said ‘no’ that she was good with the bikini she chose. Then as a compromise i asked if she could at least put on a black bikini bottom instead of the pink one.

This led to a minor argument. She believes I’m being unreasonable by asking her to hide body hair that she has naturally. She pointed out that I’m not going to wear long pants even though I have very hairy legs. I think that I’m being normal and that’s it’s weird for people to have their pubes showing in public. I pointed out that I’m not asking her to hide body hair in any unreasonable places (I said nothing about her underarms/leg hair). I said that the equivalent would not be me wearing long pants but wearing a speedo where my pubes poke out on the sides. I said that in that situation she would also be fair to ask me to wear board shorts instead.

We are now at an impasse and decided to leave it to you all to decide which of us is right. Should she cover up or should I support her decision not to?

AITA for telling my family why my mother and I are in a fight rather than "protecting" her?


An important detail to know before I tell the actual story is that my husband's mother (we'll call my husband John) is an addict in recovery. She has been clean for 3 years now, but struggled with addiction for almost a decade and lost custody of her children for over a year before getting clean. She's done a lot to turn her life around, and to stay clean. It is amazing.

Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, while on the phone, my mother asked me why I was so "hyper". I told her that I'd drank part of a Monster earlier. She got PISSED. She asked why I'd put that into my body and told me how awful it is for health. I told her that in my 25 years, I've had about 2 and a half Monsters, and that I'm not worried about it. She pointed out that I smoke cannabis, so I obviously prefer the "downer" feeling. I pointed out that I also love espresso so it just depends on my mood, to which she said "Well... Why don't you just smoke crack like John's mom, then?"

I told her that what she said wasn't okay and hung up on her. She texted me that I was overreacting because she was just stating a fact (his mother WAS an addict, after all) and that she'd await my apology.

I honestly thought that she'd come around, but when she hadn't after over a week I started answering questions from my husband, siblings, aunts/uncles, and cousins. I told the truth.

My dad called me today to tell me that it was inappropriate for me to share our fight, and that I should have kept it between us so as not to humiliate her.

I don't know... I think that it's good for her to feel embarrassed about what she said. AITA, here?

Edit for information: I hadn't talked to my siblings, aunts/uncles, or cousins about our fight until they started asking me questions about it over a week later. They wouldn't have known about the fight, at all, unless my mother had mentioned it to them. At that point, my options were to either lie to their faces or tell them the truth.

My (27m) girlfriend's (26f) obsession with eggs is damaging our relationship

quote:

Gf and i have been together for about 6 months and so far it's been great but she is obsessed with eating eggs and leaves every form of egg waste everywhere (shells, whites, yolks, egg cups, egg slicers etc.)

She eats anywhere between 4 to maybe 15 eggs a day (so many she loses count). She eats them mostly by hand and makes some attempt to put the shells in the bin but I'd say only 70% actually makes it in there. The rest ends up in her carpet, bedsheets, car, bathroom etc. Twice i have found her cat walking around with tiny bits of eggshell in its fur.

Last week she was driving me to a job interview. She'd left a half eaten egg on the passengers seat and obviously i accidentally sat right in it and had egg all over the side of my pants (didnt hear back about the job naturally). I told her i felt upset and she just laughed and said that it was my fault for not checking when i sat down.

Other times I've tried to mention the whole egg thing, she says I'm being controlling and she can eat what she wants. I keep saying that i dont care about eating the eggs, just the fact that she leaves eggs and eggshells literally everywhere (yesterday I found a half eaten egg in the pocket of a jacket that i lent her- I tried washing it but then egg got all over the rest of the load)

Is there any way I can make her see the issue with the whole egg thing or is this a dealbreaker?

TL;DR gf leaves eggs and eggshells everywhere- how do i communicate to her that she needs to change or is our relationship not going to work?
