Not just a girls best friend.

Wanting to be a home owner is just the first step in the gender transition process for a person born as a male

For me I tend to see the wrong post sometimes when I go to an old Lemmy tab after being on different Lemmy tabs. If I hit refresh then I'll get my original post back, but then half the time I go and find the mysterious post because I want to read it now I got a taste.

Am a woman. Girl's best friends, in no particular order: IUD, my own bank account, vibrator.

My 2yo has a shirt that says "dinos are a girls best friend". I have to say, I could get behind that. Other top contenders: clothing with decent size pockets, dogs, and snacks.

It was marketing bs. Pretty sure it hasn't changed.

It kind of replaced a dowery. Proof that the man could afford to take care of the woman. But instead of gifting livestock or money they buy a useless rock that looks nice. As a symbol of commitment I think it works. But definitely the idea of 3 months salary is pure marketing.

Except a dowry goes the other way. It’s a gift to the groom from the bride or her family to help support her

Functional pockets, probably.

I think you nailed it! I'm not a girl, so I didn't realize the lack of functional pockets until my daughters started complaining about it. Now I find myself looking for pockets in women's clothing. They are very hard to find.

I'm not very in tune with the girl market :nerd: but I would probably say her phone. Buy her a Galaxy Z Flip 4 and she will love you for life (not guaranteed)

Jamie 1 point 3 years ago

As someone whose girlfriend is in love with her Flip 4, yeah I'd call that an accurate statement.

I didn't buy it for her though, she just kinda did it.
