every time, i always fall for it

Maybe I should cover myself in pepper so you get a sneezing fit!

i like pepper though yumyum

When I was younger I went to the same hairdresser as my mum because she owned her own business and kept her prices at a nice level. But I stopped anything needing regular maintenance for awhile.

Then I started working at a salon, and there were plenty of hairdressers who were willing to experiment on me in their downtime. That's when I decided to go red; red is the toughest color to maintain and get consistent. But I quickly realized that my mums hairdresser was not great. So I had a long relationship with one of the ladies at that salon even after I changed jobs, until I quit dyeing my hair. That was about $80/month bill there.

Now I have no bangs and no (artificial) color, and keep it long. My sister in law cuts it about once or twice a year. It doesn't get much damage because I use no heat and no products. When I need it neat, I brush and put it up in about 30 seconds. Less effort than short hair.

For picking a hairdresser, you need one with enough experience with your ethnicity of hair. There really is a different way of treating, cutting, and styling.

yesh. a hairdresser is a serious relationship. and your hair ritual sounds like mine a lot. i also dont use any heat or products so most of the year my hair is a happy hair. the only thing i hate about having it long is the strands in the shower's drainage is gross and like a horror story from a ghost movie :x

other than that, it's actually less maintenance than short hair

I'm stingy, so I just go to a beauty school.

 

[Leeness]

I haven't gotten my nasty hair cut for probably 6 or 7 years lol.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I went to the same lady my mom has known for like 20 or 30 years, and it has been one of the few things I have not liked about moving =(. She just knows how my hair works and she is super helpful.

 

[DrEvil]

That's a fair observation. It's true that who the person is matters.

But the idea that drew me into the discussion was basically that you should okay with it even if you don't know the person well. You trust your partner so they should be able to stay in hotels with *anyone* whether you know the person or not. That was how the argument was framed that most of my posts have been in response to. Clearly DrEvil's girlfriend isn't best friends with this other girl and maybe doesn't even really know her, and quite possibly she has some reason of her own for feeling uncomfortable about it -- but anyone who sided with her was described as crazy.

Not wanting to drag this conversation away from hair salons,

You are correct. My gf doesn't know this girl very well but well enough to know she's a friend of mine. So, I get her reason for worry.


We just booked our airfare tonight, so I'm biting the bullet and facing whatever pain my gf wants to throw my way as a result, but we seem to finally be on somewhat of a same page about it. She's still upset but has kind of said "go to it, I'll deal with it and forget about it later.

I thanked her for being understanding and promised I'd take her to NYC for a real trip where we have more than 8 hours in the city and can actually see and do things.


So yeah, thanks everyone for the discussion, I definitely see both sides and I hope this somehow proves to her that she can trust me in situations like this.

 

[ishibear]

As far as relationships go, nothing is ever as simple as it seems and some aspects may work out in certain instances, but not others.

I would like to trust my nonexistent significant other in a situation like that, but I'm not going to pretend I wouldn't be wondering about the possibilities for a pretty minute. But I'm not really the jealous or suspicious type.

I've always been laid back when it comes my s/o having other lady friends. Never had any problems there...

Personally, I dunno. But I can see where some would be uncomfortable and others wouldn't care.

Tldr Ishi sees both sides of the argument proving she's no help yet again. 😓

Heyyyy hair topic! I'm better at this! 😅

Aside from my mom being my go to for relaxer treatments, I do my own hair.

I cut it so that I could have a sexy ass bang 8 months ago. My hair reaches my shoulders now and those bangs now reach my chin lol

But my hair is healthy and that's all that matters to me. I just use rollers now to give it some extra curls. Or style it up into a bun. Hmm now that I think of it, I haven't used hot irons or anything except blow dryers on my hair in over a year. Maybe that's why it's growing? Cool.

 

[Ceallach]

I get my hair done every two weeks, but I try to set an example for my junior sailors and look as professional as possible. I went off recommendations from people who had been around here.

Nothing fancy, this is it atm.

I am disgusted that in the anon confessions thread a man confessed to thinking about raping his drunk, passed out sister and the majority of posters think the pertinent topic to discuss is the popularity of incest porn. Not that the man seriously considered raping his sister.

Media tried to point it out and she got shouted down, as per usual. I feel so defeated, like what's the point anymore. The amount of pro Trump signs I see makes me feel unsafe. It's all part of the same toxic culture we're immersed in that treats women like garbage.

 

[Ceallach]

That is fucking disgusting.

As are some of the reactions in the rim world thread about the way relationships work. Though the gravity is of course far less than a contemplated rape of a family member.

 

[liliththepale]

According to one poster, people are lying if they said they wouldn't fantasize about raping the passed out drunk person they've had a crush on.

Is that just a psychopath projecting his vileness, or do people actually think that way?

I have to believe it is a psychopath. The other option is just too vile

That's psychopathy all right. If they really did have a crush on someone they would want to take care of them and get them home safely or at least get them to someone who is sober who cares about them.

 

[Zaphrynn]

I just posted in the Harvard thread about how GAF has really been disappointing me lately when it comes to this shit. Considering how many dudes try so, so hard to downplay this shit... How are they acting with women in their life?

The Harvard thread is about the soccer team having a 9 page book rating female soccer players, complete with pictures. People are, of course, defending it.

I'm getting sick of it.

The confessions thread is a whole other dumpster fire. "But wait guys, it's not RAPE rape". At least that dude got banned.

That's psychopathy all right. If they really did have a crush on someone they would want to take care of them and get them home safely or at least get them to someone who is sober who cares about them.

Right? I can say without a doubt my boyfriend would never have that thought. I have a very high sex drive, and I would NEVER think about doing that. W.t.f.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Hey guys, never post here, but GAF tired me out today. I don't know if it's the election weighing me down or GAF's getting worse.

I'm going to Google some kitty and puppy GIFs.

I think it's best we all take breaks from gaf. See you guys in 3 months to a year!

I pretty much just keep to this thread, FakeGAF, Gundam and MMA. The general threads are just too much lately.

I was really surprised by that, I thought Gaf was more progressive

Like Cindy said, sometimes we gotta take breaks. Otherwise the weight of it all will just crush us, even here. I take long breaks from video games too.

I'm going to stick to fandom threads for awhile lol

FFXV tho...

I get it though, and have a nice time off <3

Man I love Scott Pilgrim to death. I could watch this movie a million times.

i also just stick to here and mafia gaf and asiangaf.... mostly

the general gaf can be a very unwelcoming place, sometimes *nodsnods*

Maybe I should step out of GAF again after NaNoWriMo.

 

[olympia]

there are so many things that upset me about the confessional thread but i don't want to call out certain posters. i just end up using the ignore feature. it makes reading gaf way more tolerable

Did we all seriously just gloss over halloween? For shame! What did everyone do!?!?

My SO and I ended up staying in, but we still dressed up for the trick or treaters and our own good time. I was Wonder Woman and he was Indiana Jones. Halloween is pretty great.

We overbought candy though. We still have three separate bags of fun sized bags left. Someone better get these Reese's Peanut Butter Cups away from me.

I also really like how the other puppy is like trying to be excited and included but not quite understanding what the big deal is.

As for Halloween, we completely forgot about it. I had my cosplay from NYCC but no one else at home had anything. Then the NYC parade is too much of a hassle and the other options are going to bars (I'm a loser who doesn't drink) or hosting a party on a weeknight.

It's like the dog version of Nintendo 64 kid. And the other dog is like the little sister.

For Halloween I took my kid and her friend trick or treating. They dressed up like ruby and sapphire. I put on my Sayla Mass outfit since it is warm.

 

[Mineshaft_Gap]

I'm having a lot of fun imagining two kids dressed up as Gameboy Advance games. (Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire)

 

[Ceallach]

Lol. They were ruby and sapphire from Steven Universe.

I am a bit worried about voting tomorrow (in the USA). I live in a place where people walk around with guns all the time and am worried aout Trump stirring up "voter fraud" bullshit.

On the plus side, today I saw a sign that said:

Vote No Muro, No Trump

which is "Vote No Wall, No Trump".

Edit: I just had the realization that we may be living in another era for civil rights movements. A time period that future generations will examine what we did and how we lived and what we fought for. Reading in the news about the Republicans actively trying to surpress minority voting rights makes my blood boil.

I dont understand how anyone can justify voting to remove the rights of others. One person's "morality" doesn't give them the right to take away another person's access to fair treatment and liberties.

Speaking plainly, I think most of the Republican political platform and especially Trump's agenda is unAmerican.
