It would be hurtful to say to a friend out of context, but wasn’t the context specific to ‘what to have on social media while trying to get a man’?
It would be hurtful to say to a friend out of context, but wasn’t the context specific to ‘what to have on social media while trying to get a man’?I do remember though in the earlyish days of Xgalz that J specifically told L to ditch the kids from her insta if she wanted to appeal to men. Less ma vibes or something she said. Which is hurtful for a friend to say I can imagine. J wasn't always decorating the tree with her fiance wholesome wife vibes.
Yea pretty sure L said she wanted to "sex up" her IG or something and that she didn't know how to thirst trap. It was defo said in more of a "men are such horny dopes if you're just looking for the ride just post pure thirst traps" rather than "ditch your kids"It would be hurtful to say to a friend out of context, but wasn’t the context specific to ‘what to have on social media while trying to get a man’?

Wow, you snapped. I agree with this but actually never thought about it like this before!I just wanna say that being engaged isn't 'having your shit together'. It's not an achievement and anyone can do it. J and E have only been together 2 or so years which is absolutely nothing. I noticed more basic lad types once they hit 35 plus start proposing. Basic men are very concerned with and affected by these arbitrary 'milestones' as much as basic women. It is a bullshit status thing. Often, the woman is super surprised which is insane, as they didn't discuss it previously and they 'had no idea'. Yikes!
Also, the idea of a guy buying his partner an engagement ring when so many of us couples are trying to save for a mortgage in this neo-liberal shithole that is Ireland is foolish and insane. I hate the narcissism and clout involved in it all...the insta photos, the showing off/talking about 'The Ring'. Maybe this is a VERY unpopular opinion haha!
If somebody is together 6, 8,10, 12, 14 years, amazing. And you never have to be engaged or married.
Haha! I find the whole engagement, ring, marriage, babies thing so annoying and not a sign of having your shit together. A lot of it is extremely performative, especially with influencers. And it is profitable. People seem to go crazy over their weddings/pregnancies and they gain an even bigger following. It is inane.Wow, you snapped. I agree with this but actually never thought about it like this before!
No I think she has another friend FionaDid anyone notice Jenny mentioned giving away a plant in her latest vlog. She said she her friend Fiona is taking it. I wonder does she mean Lindsay’s sister!? If they are still friendly she definitely mustn’t have done anything TOO terrible to Lindsay as she would have people believe.
Yeah, think it’s the fitness person she trains withNo I think she has another friend Fiona
Oh no I totally agree but I feel Ls mind that’s the be all and end all. Like house marriage etc. Personally I’d be happy never getting married once my partner treated me well, I treated them well and we were happy. It’s just a piece of paper. I think what rots L the most is the speed of which it happened and also the fact the L slept with E beforeI just wanna say that being engaged isn't 'having your shit together'.

When can we stop referring to people as basic? We are all different with different wants / needs.
I don’t think E knew he had to solve the housing crisis before he proposed lol. You are projecting!I just wanna say that being engaged isn't 'having your shit together'.

People can do what they want and I am allowed to have an opinion it, as everyone is! I think spending a fortune on a diamond ring when you are supposed to be just starting out a life together is a financially terrible decision and makes no sense. Crazy how people fall for the marketing.I don’t think E knew he had to solve the housing crisis before he proposed lol. You are projecting!
You don’t know what’s in either of their bank accounts tho? Let people do what they want in what order they want, seeeeshPeople can do what they want and I am allowed to have an opinion it, as everyone is!

I understand this viewpoint but I think it’s totally up to the couple to decide how much they want to spend on a ring.People can do what they want and I am allowed to have an opinion it, as everyone is!

Yes engagement and marriage is a weird concept. But so is Christmas, birthdays and lots of other things we celebrate. We have to find some way to enjoy this late capitalist hell hole we live in and if your fella buying you a fancy ring and saying he will be with you forever is it than so be itPeople can do what they want and I am allowed to have an opinion it, as everyone is!

surely it’s closer to 3 since they moved in right before lockdown. Think the breakup ep was early 2019Has J and E only been together 2 years? How long have they been roughly together before they got engaged? (just curious because we are a similar age!)
