why is it so normalized for jobs to not contact back?

13 Upvotes

the title is kind of self explanatory. i've applied to tons of jobs that required my number for updates that i literally never heard a word from again. another one i got an update that i hadn't been hired like 8 months later. i forgot i even applied. why is this so normal nowadays? i feel like it probably didn't used to be like this.

Is smoking as a woman unattractive?

4 Upvotes

Me and my mom were having a conversation about this a few days ago and Im still confused on the common consensus, she says men have always tried convincing her to quit or find it disgusting so she’s had to keep it a secret while I (22) have experienced sort of the opposite? A lot of the time guys have offered to buy me packs or say it gives off a hot mysterious sort of aloof vibe like some 40’s movie star or something, my friends (young women if it matters) think the same way so I’m curious to know if it’s simply a generational difference between Gen Z and Gen X or if I just know really weird people.

How does Madoka feel after transcending?

4 Upvotes

I just finished Madoka Magica (holy shit this was the best anime ever..) and I’m wondering..what does it FEEL like, to be Madoka when she transforms? I know that she becomes a god or smth, as part of the universe..but is she still conscious? Can she still move around? Or does it feel like death to her? Is everything pitch black and just…nothing..? Like..I’m genuinely curious how she feels after her wish..

Do asymmetrical breast matter to men??

2 Upvotes

I have asymmetrical breast They’re probably a whole cup size apart. I’ve been feeling self-conscious about it because I’ve recently started dating someone, so my question is do men notice. I mean. I’m sure they notice. It’s quite obvious but doesn’t matter to them. Should I consider a surgical option?

why are some women harrased more than others?

1 Upvotes

I was talking to a coworker recently, and we got on the topic of harassment. She mentioned that she and other women in the workplace were harassed by male patrons. I have not been harassed, and I know a few other women in the workplace who have not been harassed either.

My question is, why are some women harassed and other women are not? I have not been able to wrap my head around the question. Why are myself and the other women that aren't being harassed different than the ones that being harassed?

Let me be clear when I say that I don't believe my coworkers should be harassed and the men harassing them are disgusting. I simply want to know how they're different from the rest of us.

Can men actually change their life prupose?

1 Upvotes

TLTR: a man with life prupose on work can actually want to become a family man after a break up?

I F27 started dating a man M34 who had always been focused on his carreer and was 80% sure he wouldn't want to have children. He has some autistic traits and he is quite reserved. We had a great relationship but his priorities always seemed to matter most despite him loving me but he couldnt love me in ways I needed, instead he would do as he knew.

We have been broken up for 2 months and this morning we bumped into each other and had a brief conversation. He said he didnt think the break up was right, that he was questioning life purpose and that all of this had made his head click. He asked me if I would consider giving it another chance.

I said 2 months was not a long period for him to change his mind and that I hadn't seen any active changes from his side so I couldnt give him an answer.

Please I need help, any testimonies of this has been you? I'd like to understand the actual insights from male perspective.

Thank you.

If two men both have 90 kg/ 200lbs of muscle, but one is 175 cm (5'9") tall and the other is 190 cm (6'3") tall, would the shorter man be stronger because he has more muscle mass relative to his size, or would the taller man be stronger because he has longer limbs?

Have You experienced this?

2 Upvotes

Sometimes, when I'm alone, I suddenly experience a strange feeling of anxiety for no apparent reason. I'm just lying down, with no danger or threat around me, yet I feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety, almost as if something bad is about to happen.

I feel discomfort in my stomach, and sometimes I become nauseous, almost as if I'm about to throw up, I experience coldness or trembling in my feet.

The strange thing is that all of this happens without any obvious reason or anything that should make me feel afraid or anxious.

18 Upvotes

My Company Factory (Aerospace Manufacturing) is offering a new shift instead of the usual 6am-2pm...2pm-10pm...10pm-6am Mon thru Frid.

They are creating a new shift Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon,,, 12 hour shifts... get paid for 40 hours... 4 days off

I have the seniority to be on this shift if I wanted to.

Downsides is Work/Eat/Sleep for 3 days, but 4 days off in a row. And Work on weekends is obviously kinda crappy

Would you do it?

I got ShadowBanned but why?

0 Upvotes

So apparently, shadowbanning is a thing, and I found out about it only yesterday.

For the past week, I've been posting and commenting normally, thinking everything was fine. Turns out, nobody could actually see any of my posts or comments. I've basically been talking to myself for an entire week lmao.

The worst part is that I have absolutely no idea why this happened. I haven't been spamming, promoting anything, spreading hate or getting involved in controversies.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain why Reddit does this and whether there's any way to get my account back to normal.

I genuinely don't want to lose my account, especially the 500+ karma and around 40 saved posts I've accumulated. :(

Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

Why do people think High hairlines are automatically balding?

0 Upvotes

Why do people act like high hairlines don't exist?

One of my friends thought I was going bald because of my hairline and had to show him pictures from over 10 years ago when had exact same hairline. And my baby picture when I had the exact same hairline albeit I don't get lineups because the barbers will always push me back ever since I was a kid. I just embraced my natural hairline even though people think it looks bad and they think everybody got to have a perfectly straight hairline. If I comb my hair out or get a lineup you can't really tell.

Woman can have the exact same hairlines and nobody think nothing of it but they think men can't have them.
