Differently sounds like you're not "actively dating". Similar to a job search. Maybe you're not looking, but you won't turn down a good opportunity if it crosses your path and seems like a good fit! 🤷🏾‍♀️

also, serious question because i’m confusing myself.

i’ve opted out of actively dating, meaning i’m off the dating apps, not really responding to DMs, etc.

however, i’m not opposed to organic approach.

would that mean even tho i’m not actively dating, i’m still not opposed to dating?

your take is valid. i once was someone constantly being told i was ugly, too skinny, etc.

it definitely comes with learning to love yourself. i never got into makeup and wigs because of attention tho, i definitely did it for myself but she needs to go sit on somebodys couch.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What she’s getting in these comments is what she hears in real life if not worse.

Like I would be angry too if people calling to change my natural hair & making jokes comparing it to “Fredrick Douglass”

🫂

I’ve been where she is as well, so I can spot the hurt a mile away.

My thoughts exactly.
I've been her in my early 20s. It's a journey and hopefully she gets there.

I touched on this the other day, until you’ve been told you aren’t attractive enough to find a man… you won’t get it.

I guarantee you she’s been told to either settle or change, and she wants to do neither.

…and honestly? More power to her. More women should have that attitude.

Older Auntie Wisdom:

I don’t see anger; I see sadness and frustration.

She’s actually stunning, but she’s probably heard negative things about herself because she has natural hair. & Brown skinned women can be victims of colorism.

She likes the way she looks, but the men she encounters don’t.

I definitely have been wondering if she has ANY friends period. These videos are QUITE off-putting! 😒

Makes me wonder if she really does only have white friends you know they get degrees and a ring immediately after 😭

here’s my great divide in this situation.

A: at 24 you’re still learning what you like and don’t like in people. not even just relationships but friendships, families & work environments.

B: you also can’t really know what you will and won’t tolerate if you don’t date to find out.

not wrong but definitely not right either lmao

OK you don't want a man but... there's nothing wrong with a deep conditioning treatment. For yourself of course. The heart may not be thirsty but I fear the hair might be.

frustration valid, delivery is not 😭

neither is that directed anger.

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

I didn't even know the boycott Jamal Bryant called for latest past Lent from last year! People that I know that boycotted Target did so without any consideration of him and his call for abstention. Thus he doesn't stand in any position to 'call something off' on a mass scale! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Indeed! 😂

Even if folks HAD ended the Target boycott (note: they haven't), I don't see a lotta folks ever going to Target ever again 'cuz if they did it once, they'll do it again.

The boycott of Target for anti LGBTQ+ and DEI initiatives remains in force, no matter what one author writes in a newspaper.

@axios.com? Not a good look, is it?

In Raleigh????

Throwing cocaine on people in Raleigh???

Right-wing journalist Patrick Hawley asked this unhinged question to GOP senator Lindsey Graham, who declined to answer and instead sped away.

And she's got SO MUCH CONTEMPT for these IMAGINARY PEOPLE! Like: WHO ARE YOU YELLING AT? Let's BE SPECIFIC so we can hold THEM accountable! LOL 😆

i didn’t know how else to describe it 😭 i was petrified

For the first few seconds I was like “she’s kind of cute, what’s the big deal?” Then she started yelling and it all clicked.

I couldn't remember her name but that's EXACTLY what this is! LOL. 😆

She’s got that same annoying virgin energy as Lolo Jones.

Verbally aggressive has me cackling cause I was definitely taken aback by her screaming in the phone like that 😭
