I haven’t seen anyone point out that the Mona Lisa is also a metaphor for the glass onion. Like the majority of people look at the Mona Lisa and think she’s an enigma, they wonder what she’s thinking. They wonder who she was, what she was thinking. They talk about the layers and the complexities of this woman’s smile when in reality she isn’t a mystery at all.
The Mona Lisa was a commission from a wealthy silk merchant who wanted to celebrate the birth of his second son by having a portrait of his wife be painted by that up and coming artist. Like we know exactly who she was, why she’s smiling, we know who she is. But despite this the air of mystery surrounding the Mona Lisa continues because people love her perceived mystery. They love imagining that there are more layers to her than there really was. And it fits so beautifully.
Also if this is a stranger or someone who isn’t very close to you make sure you keep a respectable distance (about arms length) and keep you tone polite and positive (you look very nice in that dress vs. HEY YOU NICE DRESS). From personal experience even when the compliment isn’t threatening or sexual it is still scary when a guy invades your space to compliment you, or when they yell it at you.
Though I whole heatedly encourage guys to compliment girls, it is important to remember not to make a scene about it unless it is someone you know won’t mind.
I understand that following all these steps can be confusing and a little hard to follow but I assure you it is better to try and be polite rather than enthusiastic when talking to strangers.
I’m sorry for hijacking the post I just really wanted to put my little two cents in.
So, if im a boy and i want to compliment a girl, idk on her make up or clothes and etc, will it not make her uncomfortable? Not in a hit up way more of a i like your style, would it be ok? Im sorry if it sounds stupid sfjjxfxkhd im bad at communicating
I know what you mean. For most women, no, a general compliment won’t offend or scare them—and might actually brighten their day tremendously. I think a good rule of thumb in situations like these are if it’s sexual, don’t say it.
Respectful/safe examples:- your eyebrows look so good!- your makeup is poppin!- I love your outfit!- nice shoes!- your hair looks so pretty like that!
Disrespectful/unsafe examples:- nice tits!- your body is so sexy- you have a big ass- *wolf whistling* - I bet you’re good in bed
Given, every person is different. Some women may like being complimented on their body, but a lot of us don’t, ESPECIALLY when the compliments are coming from strangers. Basically, if your goal is to not make anyone uncomfortable or to avoid the possibility of making someone uncomfortable, the “respectful examples” are some decent ones to stick to. Anything semi-flirty or sexual can be risky.
I appreciate the fact that you cared enough to ask and don’t want to upset anyone. thank you for the kindness and consideration. have a great day! 💛
No no no! This is rape! There is no excuse for her actions!
ppl should learn basic anatomy. Physical responses does not equal consent.
A tip for hiding things: sometimes if you’re not wearing it you can hide it in a pillow on your neatly made bed, people rarely suspect your bed as a hiding place and if its kept neat you don’t risk someone trying to make it. Also, you can start taking an extra pair of clothes in your school backpack so they wont question the binder if they find it in there.
How to have a binder without your parents knowing:
Pick the binder you want online, add it to the website’s shopping cart and start to check out until you find how much it costs with shipping and tax.
Save up enough money to buy the binder. Make sure you have a few dollars extra, to buy the card itself and just in case.
Go into a store and buy a prepaid VISA card. They have them at lots of stores, even CVS. (You can also ask a friend to do this if you can’t get to a store on your own)
Prepaid credit cards require you to be 18 to open an account, but you can purchase prepaid gift cards at a grocery or other store at any age and use them wherever Visa, MasterCard or AMEX are accepted.
These gift cards, which aren’t reloadable, usually carry an activation fee along the lines of $4.95 for every $50 increment. You usually find them in denominations of $25, $50 or $100.
Buy the binder online. Put the name on the card as “Visa” in the payment section of the website. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, use one at the library.
Clear your internet history if you’re at home. Make sure the invoice is sent to an email that only you have access to.
Ship it to a consenting friend’s house or an accepting relative, if you have one. Or ship it to your own house and say you bought a present for someone. You may have to go to a store in person and buy a physical present to then gift to cover up that it wasn’t in the package.
Hide it when you get it.
Handwash it when it gets dirty. Or start doing your laundry yourself. Wring it out and hang it to dry in the back of your closet.
Bring it in a bag with you to change into it when you’re out of the house.
(Or ask a friend with a debit/credit/gift card to buy you a binder if you give them the cash.)
