Does your husband encourage and support you in face to face interactions and just not here on MFP or is his lack of support evident in your face to face interactions, too? If it's just here on MFP, try not to take it too personally. My hubby and I are on FB together and he rarely comments on things that I post - mostly b/c…

Ick. lol

Pretty much.

Yeah. There was one other guy - who I actually know really well - who made a couple of different comments to me during my last pregnancy about "appreciating my profile view" or something like that. I was like oooookkaaaayyy.. lol To each their own, I guess.

I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't want it done to me. It's not respectful and is probably going to make whatever problem being vented about worse.

Yeah - I think my husband is more flattered by another man checking me out than I am. lol I asked him why once and he said he likes knowing he has what another man can't have. Gotta love the male ego. lol

Then you ask them if your rag smells like chloroform, right? :noway:

I had a big dude walk past me and do the glance over with a "how YOU doin'?" when I was 8 months pregnant with my fourth. I ignored him but thought to myself, "Really? REALLY?" Unless it's my husband, I think it's super weird for a man to find me attractive when I'm pregnant.

Love this post! :)

Kaplan University had a link when I googled Nutritional Science. Try their website. :)

Yeah - I wonder if cat-callers still do it after they get married. lol There is only one man I have ever cat-called at in my life. My husband - he knows when I *RAWR* at him it's go time. Hehe.

Equal rights/opportunity?

Hey - it's a free country. You deal with it how you want to and I will deal with it how I want to - definitely not losing sleep over this one. I am not angry at the world b/c I came out of the womb a female. :flowerforyou:

\ Maybe not, but the one on the right looks like she could toss YOU out if you did. :tongue:

*facepalm* Yes, I see what you did. You deliberately misrepresented what I said. Pat yourself on the back for that one. :) I'm saying that I find it interesting that women who will engage in those types of behaviors and the attention they receive from the other members here are calling out women in this thread who enjoy…

Find in my post where I said that you deserved it and I will absolutely retract it. I said you were inviting more negative attention by flipping them off. I mean seriously - flipping them off is stooping to their level. Show a little class. Definitely not a compliment. It doesn't bother me, but I don't enjoy it. If - IF -…

I just find this post so extremely ironic in this sub-section of the forums, TBH. I've seen more women flaunt their bodies, talk in sexually suggestive manners, and call modest women (like myself) prudes for not engaging in the same behavior. So, the fact that you let off this rant on me has set my irony meter off the…

Pretty much this. My husband is just as attracted to me at the weight I was when we met as he is when I have been 9 months pregnant and sporting cankles...and everywhere in between that I've been, too. I'm sure he would much rather see the thinner me return as much as I would, but he loves me just as much when I'm heavier…

lol

I'm not talking about the cat-calling part of it. Yes, it's degrading - which is why I ignore it. Why draw MORE attention to myself? Ignoring it isn't condoning it, but doing something equally offensive in return isn't going to make it stop, either. If a woman really wants to put an end to the behavior, then walking…

IDK how legit the site is, but here is a link that pretty much answers all of your questions. http://www.nutritionalsciencedegrees.com/

I'm guessing it's more about you flipping them the bird that gets you called those names and less about them feeling the need to overpower you by raping you. If you don't like it, ignore it. But, doing something insulting is going to always bring you MORE negative attention. That's not rape culture, that's just reality.

I honestly don't know what my levels were when I was spotting. I was probably about 8 weeks along - she said it was around the normal time I would have gotten my period, which was why I was spotting. I will be praying for a big number when your labs come back tomorrow!

I had spotting with my first pregnancy, but not the other 3. I called my midwife and she ordered an ultrasound and I got to see the heartbeat, so I felt much better. I was also told that it can be normal. I did not have any bright red blood, though. I think it's good that you're taking it easy. Prayers for a healthy…

This is your "ME" thing that you do - just for you. Everyone has to have a "ME" thing...or things. What does your hubby like to do for himself - hobbies and the such? My hubs loves surfing and golfing. I'm a spa junkie and am a very amateur photographer. We're both into fitness, so it's not an issue for us - but, we both…

I tend to ignore honks, stares, yells, "how YOU doin?'s" and the like. Just don't touch me. I hate when a random strange guy grabs my booty. It happened last October when I was ridiculously pregnant. I was working one of my husband's events and some dude grabbed a handful as he walked past. Then some other dude ran up and…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Both! My favorite "non-mommy" car was my Mustang. My favorite "mommy" car was my Malibu.

I wouldn't eat a McNugget even if it was fresh out of the fryer. :sick: lol Yes, to the rest. :wink:

I've had the nickname Va Va for over 10 years, so I incorporated it into my username. I stopped using obvious names (like variations of my name or email) thanks to the online stalker abilities of someone I don't want following me around the interwebs.
