I was actually recommended by a doctor not to have the test done. She told me to just avoid foods that caused me problems (namely prawns, which make my lips, mouth and throat itch say if I nibble a har kau prawn dumpling). I presume it saved the practice? some money and freed up books a little? idk.

As a result, I…

This reminds me of something that happened to me last week. I work in a food takeaway and I like to have a conversation with the waiting customers so we're not just sat silently in a room together. Since Christmas is soon I've been asking for gift recommendations for my cousins - I've been trying to figure out what to…

I use the word "sassy" as a compliment (similar like someone said to" snarky", but more cutting, with more finesse and sometimes wit). I apply the term to all people, including myself.

I love that you did this.

It's unlikely that they are all born-sociopaths, but it sounds like the culture they live in mostly. I do think the parents are hugely at fault. Even having lived in that poisonous bubble they would have realized certain behaviours are not acceptable - especially in the eyes of the law. Doubtless the parents know that…

I can't answer why people would do such things, but it seems to me to do with acceptance and belonging and a lack of individual identity (or even want of individual identity).

I remember reading as a kid survey results in magazines asking what cosmetic product could women not do without everyday? I always wondered "Where is the 'None/NA' option?" I very soon developed this idea (which has largely been dispelled since) that women go out, made up and reliant and I was expected to do the same.

This reply was from 3 months ago, but I am not very computer literate so I didn't notice /)_- but I want to encourage you to keep asking questions, especially if they concern your (and others') wellbeing and health.

Since I have a low libido to the point of practical asexuality, it shouldn't be too hard for me. (I'm pretty aromantic too...)

I feel that pantyhose (or BrE tights) are a wardrobe staple in the UK but it is mainly wet and mild/cold so bare legs is not an option many would pick.

The best thing to do would be to get medical advice from a doctor or nurse. They will have written advice (pamphlets, etc) so you can read over anything you're unclear about - not everything will stay with you after you leave the doctors.

Have you asked your wife and her friends? I highly doubt they're unaffected. Tbh from my discussions on the topic most women are subjected to sexually-charged street harassment (as opposed to general sexist patronizing comments which start as soon as infancy) from their early teens or just before.

I have to say the way these companies are throwing "BB cream" around is irritating. I hate buzzwords anyway (who doesn't get sick of the same thing being shouted at you all day long), but BB creams are great - at least the ones in Asia. I've used BB creams for years imports (I'm Asian) and the stuff is great. Some of…

You might want to rethink your logic here. A lot (if not all) of those women who have a preference for being thinner are not at risk of death by 'obesity-related diseases'. By using these sites (too avidly) they put themselves at risk by 'anorexia-related diseases' only.

The host didn't say that Chinese drivers are the worst... his anecdote demonstrated how the Chinese driver stereotype is incorrect (the Chinese driver was driven into by the host).
