    Because his bathroom breaks were am hour long. Pfft, nobody plays words with friends for an hour 🙄

    If he's in the bathroom "playing words with friends", doesn't he have his phone with him???

    Guys.....or anyone.....why would you not tell your wife/gf/mom etc she had a lot of facial hair? I mean, I guess she would have to know for herself so maybe this is irrelevant. I had to meet someone new a couple days ago and she ALMOST could post in the beards thread. That’s an exaggeration. But it was a lot. I get some people don’t care but when they seem to care about their appearance in other ways.....why? I hope someone tells me if it ever comes down to this.

    I had a coworker with a full-ish, grey beard. Her focus was on weight maintenance (she was the leader of like a weight loss anonymous or 12-step group, I forget how she described it)

    Anyhooo, her eyesight was fine, she was in a committed long-term relationship and she was a great person so who am I to ask about her beard? I figured she wanted it there or didn't want to bother with the process of not having it there.

    Sidenote: I've chosen to actively ignore (out loud) the subsequent question.

    True. I get it. I still hope I have a friend who is good enough to me that they feel comfortable trying to help. I wouldn’t expect something that personal from a co-worker etc. Something in my teeth or my face etc.....anyone. I welcome anyone to have mercy on me.

    Giiiirl, I adore you but how can someone grow a beard without noticing? 😅 I had 1 little hair on my chin once and that's all I could see 🤣

    Never, I think if someone doesn't trust their partner enough that they feel like they need to snoop through their phone it's pretty obvious that there are issues in their relationship ou with themselves.

    It’s the only way my mind can reconcile not caring? I honestly can’t imagine living that way. And not caring. But I’m a vain *kitten*. I’m sure people think that about things I do or don’t do too? (Also it was a “grouping” of long hair....technically not so much a beard but still)

    The original questions was......why would you not tell someone you care about? I’d want to know how someone I care about perceives me in many areas. Because I know they have my best interest in mind. I’m assuming some people think that it’s not really “that bad” or maybe nobody notices. Or.....they’re ok with it. Which again, my brain no fathom that.

    Meanwhile, there are those weird people who read on the toilet for seemingly an hour or so. 🙄

    Also.. who would want to sit in a bathroom for an hour willingly? Eww. :lol:

    Yes! Which lead me to borrowing his phone, which lead to suspicion, which lead to the door!

    Do you have trust/security issues, or is this a reasonable response for most people? Or is this just chit chat being chit chat?

    No.

    I'm not that particular brand of paranoid when it comes to relationships.

    And if anything funky or untoward is going on, that's not the way I would want to find out.

    I didn't, and I never looked through any of his things until he started hoarding his phone etc.

    ah, ok.. that helps. You saw his behavior as suspicious and responded accordingly.

    I did. I'm not a jealous, sneaky type person. My gut was screaming at me for months.

    was your gut right?

    Same, but asking outright only ended up in a complete gaslighting situation.

    Yuck. Gaslighting. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. :grimace:

    When I worked at a uni library there was a student with a very distinct dark stache. However, her dress made it apparent that she was a member of a faith that doesn't permit cosmetic enhancement. Presumably the idea is that if God put it on your face, it stays on your face.

    I'm acutely aware of my most minute flaws, I assume my friends are also. They don't need me to draw attention to them.

    Unnecessary.

    Also, - (un)related - my phone has no lock code, is on silent/no notis and I leave it in another room most of the time. Basically, it's ripe for the picking I guess.

    But...

    If one was to be curious, they'd be bored WAY sooner than they'd be suspicious.

    Last time I did that my day was ruined. Ended up moving out and became a single mother.

    10/10 do not recommend.

    The "hug" option just wasn't doing it for me, sorry. :heart:

    The gf has somewhat of a beard and we're close enough that I just flat out tell her that it's growing back in and to wax or sometimes I pluck it for her.
    Strangers or freinds though I would never. I just politely ignore it.

    Please at least lock it. It’s not about what you do or have on it, it’s about what other less than reputable people could do as you if they stole it.

    Only time I went through someone's phone was because I had good reason and I was right. But, just as a routine thing? No. BUT....🤔 I am judge and jury, private investigator so if I have good suspicion, definitely.

    If anybody ever tried to be sneaky with anything of mine including my phone....id eliminate them from my intimate circle. I would not do that to anyone. If i suspected something than it was because there are other reasons. Im not trying to put together a prosecution case.....if i have doubts then its done. If they have doubts they can either walk or deal with it.....but stay the hell away from my personal property.

    Hmm, how you get past the fingerprint scan?
    Educate me, Guru

    ...and for the record, anyone who leave their alerts on their phone visible - I am drawn to (the phone, not them)
    ...so just sayin - may be curious, but (want to say prob wouldn't go through phone, but then think "depends on the guy"... ... ... WHO AM I!?)

    Would you rather go to the gym together or separately?

    If you go together, do you prefer to do the same exercises or do your own thing?

    Going together is fine but after the warm-up, he's on his own.

    I like going to the gym with my boyfriend. But sometimes I enjoy going on alone, on my own clock. But we never workout together. I run more traditional power lifting programs and he does...his thing. I don't know. Biceps.

    Are you crazy ?

    How are you supposed to hit on the bored & lonely gym housewives if she's standing there watching you ?
