…sooo I’m a decently attractive (child-free) lady that’s historically been this way with my partners (granted, not every day. Basically all of my relationships have been long-term, so y’know, sometimes the mood just isn’t there).

This is the first time I’ve heard of the mom fetish, and it also made me feel weird lol. But also made me reflect on why I’ve always kinda been that way, and wonder if this is maybe subconsciously the reason?

Turns out, the answer is a solid “no” lol.

I definitely had an upbringing that conditioned me to be the type of person that serves others. And so as I grew up, I guess that turned into a way that I show interest/love.

So maybe it was a similar thing for your girl? Ooooor maybe she was REALLY into feeling like a mom lol. The world may never know.

I lost my dad (whom I was very close with) at 15, and my mom made my life extremely hard and confusing after that… I think I’d be mostly happy at how seemingly well-adjusted i am.

I’m objectively well-off, but turns out i care far more about non-financial things.

Idk if you’ve seen Euphoria, but that’s the show that really made me like her as an actress. Didn’t think much of her before.

This is a fantastic idea. I really love the decentralization of Lemmy, but I do feel the side effects of having many copies of the same subject on different instances.

And to your point, I’d love for niche communities to have a larger audience. I need somewhere to post and read about project zomboid.

Growing up, I spent every Sunday going to a church my grandpa established, and afterwards my entire family would go over to my grandparent’s house for lunch. We would usually be there for hours, so many Sundays, my cousins and I would play gladiator outside in the backyard. We’d make weapons and armor out of whatever we could find, and just have a battle in the backyard. We did this from the time that we were little kids and all the way through my time in high school.

In my early college years, I had mentioned to my boyfriend (who i had been with since high school) that I really missed this tradition with my cousins.

He bought me this cute little gladiator doll to hang up on my car’s rearview mirror as a memento of those special times. No longer have that boyfriend, but I still have that little doll.

I’m really struggling to imagine this.

Wait, it seems like we don’t want to follow the rule of 3.

I’m sure you didn’t think so at the time, but that’s hilarious

Financial literacy would be considered an essential subject.

Wallace or Shiloh.
