    “Oh darn, someone has something nice but I can’t use them for it”

    Sometimes it’s good to be happy for other people without getting something tangible out of it.

    I once told a man his long hair was really pretty. Thought about it later that dudes probably don’t like being called pretty. Ugh.

      I love it when people say my hair is pretty, makes my whole day better! Recently, it happened twice in the same week and I’m still riding those feels!

      Honestly… we’re not hugely used to compliments on average so I’m sure he appreciated it and maybe even still remembers and recounts it to this day!

      I try to keep my longer hair pretty but the curse of many a man’s hairline is slowly visiting upon mine crown. T_T

    It’s commendable when men who have long hair actually practice proper hair care. Long hair on a man is often seen as a sign of neglect (growing it out because they can’t be bothered to cut it), but it takes way more effort to maintain long hair than short hair. So nothing but respect when they manage to sell the look.

        Hey as long as we’ve got experts here, could a purely non binary person be considered gay or heterosexual in any configuration or are they always bisexual? Even if only as a limitation of the language?

        To elaborate on that I am nonbinary and bisexual myself and without missing a beat it’s like every non-binary person I meet is also bisexual. And that’s all good and all feels very natural, and nobody should feel pressured to be anything else

        But like, if I was trying to not be bisexual, what would that look that? Would I just start listing specific preferences and the orientation just wouldn’t have a particular name?
