Get out in the sunshine (if you can, it is winter in some parts of the world) get some exercise, get endorphins flowing. Do something for YOU every day. And then choose to be happy. I have been in the my life sucks big time place, but I choose to be happy. It could have been much worse. It isn't easy, you have to keep practicing it every moment of everyday, but after a bit it becomes habit.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:

@Liviu You're living in a dream. @Blindbird was respectful, you were mansplaining. Of course that we have to explain it is part of the problem. You don't see females as equal to you. She is not and was not being hateful. For you to suggest that a woman deserves or asks to be raped is abhorrent. Please tell us if you understand what we are telling you. You seem resistant to our point of view. There are none so blind as those who will not see. And I didn't assume you said it, you wrote it. You said "It's your duty to try to avoid getting raped." No, it is man's duty to NOT RAPE WOMEN!! I don't give a shit is she is nude walking down the street, she is not asking to be raped. I'm not a man hater either, but you do make it easy. However my experience is that not all men are like you. In my experience and likely that of most of the women on this site when a sexist man has met a woman he cannot intimidate she becomes a man hater. It's not that simple. We are intelligent and eloquent, You said women should avoid getting raped, tell us how when women are raped every day just living their lives. There are patients in nursing homes and hospitals that cannot give consent that are raped, by men. There are young girls who are raped by men. There was an 87 year old nun raped in 2016. How the hell could she have been any less sexy, or demure, or covered The only way for a woman to avoid getting raped is to stay locked inside her house, that is no life. The penalties for rapes need to be harsher and we need to stop blaming the victims. By the way, crime statistics available online with a simple google search: 2011 arrest data from the FBI: in the USA Males constituted 98.9% of those arrested for forcible rape Males constituted 87.9% of those arrested for robbery Males constituted 85.0% of those arrested for burglary Males constituted 83.0% of those arrested for arson. Males constituted 81.7% of those arrested for vandalism. Males constituted 81.5% of those arrested for motor-vehicle theft. Males constituted 79.7% of those arrested for offenses against family and children Males constituted 77.8% of those arrested for aggravated assault With your current attitude you are sexist, patronizing and a decubitus ulcer on the butt of mankind. Please crack open your mind and listen to us.

It's your duty to try to avoid getting raped." No, NO, NO, NO!!! It is YOUR responsibilty to keep your damn pants zipped! Rape is assault, women NEVER ask for it by how they are dressed or how they act. ARE you serious, blaming the victim? Women would not be raped if men didn't rape them, that is wholly totally the fault of the man, the man is committing a crime. A crime just like any other assault. If you cannot see women as a person equal to you, then you are a huge part of the problem. Now, I am going to take a deep breath and try to address your questions in order. Asking a woman if she is pregnant can be understood as asking her if she has gained weight. It ain't none of your business. But if you want to be a neanderthal, forge on. And no, I am not going to ask any male I know if he has lost weight because it ain't my business. #1. Often bad behavior in boys is overlooked because they are boys. That is BS. Boys can learn rules just like any other decent human being. #2. I don't know who you've been hanging with but I am fine with deep emotions from men. I have never lost respect for a man who cried. #3, that is your perspective, I disagree. #4 My comment is that often insults are more derogatory to the female. And I don't care about your love of female body parts. Women are more than the sum of their different body parts, as are all humans. I would hope that you love the whole woman, but not my business. #5. I am sorry you think I am condescending. But see above. Rape is a crime because a man chooses to rape. Nuns get raped, and you can't say they were dressed provocatively. Older women in bad health have been raped in nursing homes, that is not a crime of passion or a woman drunk, or a woman dressed provocatively. That is a man being an asshole. Rape is always, always, always the fault of the RAPIST. #6, that advice came from my uncle who loved me dearly and I loved him more than my father. He was in fact my father's youngest brother. He gave the advice from the point of view of his generation, he was born in the early 30s. That was common advise you young women at the time. The male ego being such a fragile thing that men could not stand the competition.

"Never ask a woman her age" and other stupid rules. Who comes up with this nonsense?

Gravija comments on Mar 3, 2018:

That males are viewed as inherently more dangerous, whether in babysitting, or room-sharing, or whatever. I've never understood it and I hear it so frequently from other women, that they'd never trust a guy to watch their children.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:

@ScienceBiker @Gravija I did have a male roommate, but I knew he was harmless when I took him in. He's a few years younger than I am, but with Diabetic peripheral retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy I had nothing to fear from him physically. I dated him a few years before his health nosedived, and we remained sort of friends. He has a passive aggressive thing which was offputting. He fell on really hard times and needed a place to stay until a more permanent place could be arranged. So I took him in. I live way out in the burbs, no busses, so not an ideal place for him. He really wanted a girlfriend, but he had more baggage than I wanted to deal with. He found a new girlfriend from POF or OKC and moved in with her. And yet I see him on dating sites from time to time.

@buck1977 but only s/he can make that determination. I don't truly know, I've always known I was female. However I believe for all my certainty there are others just as certain of their ambiguity. Other peoples/races recognize more than two genders. And truly, the more I know, the more I know I don't know it all. I would say that only YOU know how YOU feel, and only YOU can decide if you are truly male. I'm not going to make judgements for other people because I am not other people.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:

We have three, no four scratching pads/posts. We have toys out the wazoo. They still climb furniture and I can hear the claws in the upholstery. It amuses me to see the fly up the stairs and wipe out on the landing, the stairs and landing are wood laminate.I can hear the scratch of claws as they take the turn. I have always thought that if I were reincarnated I wanted to come back as my housecat. Such a life these girls lead.

I don't need to be taken care of, but if you're interested for pete's sake let me know.
