Laughing at yourself and self deprecating humor is COMPLETELY different from calling yourself a derogatory nickname about your stomach, of all body parts. Ask these ladies you know if they would call themselves “Jelly Belly”. I bet you any amount of money, they would not. A woman may joke about her nose, her chin, her legs, her thighs, but women do not make nicknames disparaging themselves, nor do they choose the stomach as that is the one body part MOST women are most sensitive about. Look, there is no way to know if “jelly belly” is actually a man or a woman. My instincts say “man”. Call it female intuition.
I paint with a broad brush, because it covers more area. Most people fit into categories, this is why criminal profiling is a thing that is used in forensics. Most women can’t choke a grown man to death with their bare hands, for example. Broad brush, but it often works.
How come you don’t have me on ignore?

Just like Jacob.
Genesis 32:25-26
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.”
But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
We need to remember the promises of God.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Alright, thanks. I was not sure. Apparently, millions of people don’t know the magic words and magic rites in order to get prayers answered. I for one, do not believe God is arbitrary and capricious.
I am sorry to hear about your brother, I don’t know if people recognize the pain of losing siblings. Our siblings are genetically, the people most like us- and raised by the same parents, so personalities and experiences are similar. Siblings are generally around the same age, so it is distressing when they die at a young age. We expect to have the into old age with us.

I have never yet used the ignore button on this forum for the same reason I have never joined Facebook - neither fits my use case. I will join Facebook if I know some friends far away with whom I want to keep in touch. I will use the ignore button if somebody irritates me. It is very hard for words on a screen to irritate me.
And without even trying I can think of two women at work who call themselves "Hungry Hungry Hippos." They are both short and wide, they both have a great sense of humor and they both eat a bit more than average. You might want to check the width of your brush because I think it's painting outside the borders.

Perhaps that is why I am insane. The potential causes are never ending.
I have observed on message boards that woman invariably make usernames that are cute or positive in some manner. I have yet to stumble across a real woman with an online user name that disparages her looks. Even women with their self esteems in the pits make positive usernames.
Deductive reasoning. I must go play my violin poorly and shoot up some cocaine.

Sometimes you can make deductions without announcing them. Especially when the deductions, if wrong, would be insulting.
I make predictions about people all the time. The negative ones I keep to myself (assuming there is not high risk of imminent harm to somebody.) Usually I am right, occasionally I am wrong, but I have never regretted keeping the negative ones to myself.
Accusing somebody of being a guy posing as a girl is one of those deductions you probably should have kept to yourself. Mostly because, as I have already proven, some women DO have that kind of sense of humor.

I cannot imagine what that must feel like. Even now I'm welling upn just reading it.
I posted the below on#66
I sincerely hope that I haven't come across as blase.
And if anyone who has read that feels that, it was not my intention.
It's just Bible verses that God laid on my heart when he was bringing me out of the trauma of my childhood.
I fully recognise that just quoting Bible verses doesn't help.
Compassion and love between believers should be our aim.
