How's wedding season going, y'all? We've been having a jolly good time. In a recent AskWomen subreddit thread, women discussed what they would prefer to get from their significant others instead of an engagement. Some were adorable, some were practical, and others were just hilarious. Our fave has to be the woman that asked for an engagement sword. These Reddit ladies never cease to make us laugh. Scroll down for our favorites from the thread. 

There are plenty of dudes out there that have gotta be removed from our lives stat. At the same, there are some boyfriends that are so pure and wholesome that we want to make things work, alas, something is missing. Evidently, there are a plethora of reasons people break up, with some being more of a bummer than others. On an AskWomen subreddit thread, Reddit women shared reasons they broke up with their S/O, and many are heartbreaking. Scroll down for all the relationship disappointment. 

We were all head over heels for Edward Cullen back in the day, but looking back, the dude was hella creepy. Watching Bella while she slept? No thanks, I'll pass! Even though we're all over the toxic, possessive boyfriend in books, none of us would actually stand for that sh*t IRL. In a recent ASkWomen subreddit thread, women discuss what they're super into in books, but are total red flags in reality. Scroll down to see all the toxic tropes they brought up. 

When we think about the dudes from our past that we actually used to date, it literally makes no sense. We were so out of their league. Exactly what were we doing with our lives? Nobody knows. The good thing is that you can only move up from rock bottom. Reddit women recently contributed to a thread about things their exes did that gave them the ick factor, and we are appalled by what we've seen. We wish we could wash our eyes out and cleanse our souls after reading this. We know men could be gross, but this is a whole 'nother level of nasty. Scroll down if you dare. 

We're all guilty of embracing the alternative over the mainstream. But there's a reason the mainstream stuff is popular - because it's pretty awesome, and it's okay to admit it. We're into what other girls are into, and that's totally okay. I used to think boy bands were so basic, but they're pretty darn good, and I'm no longer ashamed to fangirl over them. I've become one with myself, and so should all of you. Women on a recent Reddit thread talked about things they used to think were stupid, but now love, and we're so here for being true to ourselves and our passions. Scroll down to see what they had to say. 

As amazing as hot girl summer has been thus far, hot girls have problems too, and we can't always be in the best moods 24/7. After all, being hot 24/7 is a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. As a fellow hot girl, you're surely wondering what you're meant to do when you're not feeling your best self. Luckily, the Reddit women have you covered on their latest thread all about the methods they use to bounce back from moments of darkness. Remember, ladies, we're all in this together. Scroll down for our fave mood boosters. 

It seems funny to think that a lot of girls used to feel uncomfortable or ashamed of doing 'girly' things. Even though there really shouldn't be things labeled as feminine or non-feminine, it has become increasingly clear throughout the generations that anything girls like somehow have to be lame, and therefore it's much 'cooler' if a girl is 'different' and likes more traditionally masculine things. Yep, both boys and girls get bullied for being feminine, isn't that fun? And people still think we have achieved full social equality.

Looking for ways to chill TF out ASAP? Look no further than the expertise of the women of Reddit. On a recent AskWomen thread, they came up with the most-low effort ways to reduce stress. We're the kind of girls that would love to not give a f*ck, but unfortunately, we give many f*cks on a daily basis. These stress reduction methods will hopefully come in handy for us in the future. Let us know if you have any other foolproof methods in the comments. 

There's always a whole lot of hate between the generations, but there doesn't need to be. Why can't we all just get along? Boomers, Millennials, and Zoomers should all just live together in harmony. There's no other way to make the world a better place. In a recent AskWomen thread, a Reddit woman asked her fellow female Redditors what they absolutely love about newer generations, and we're so here for these wholesome, supportive responses. Have a look, and let us know what you love about the newest generations in the comments. Let's spread all the love. 

We're always overanalyzing the weird quirks of our own bodies, but it's definitely not the only body we're invested in. The male body has piqued the interest of women and famous sculptors alike over the course of history, and the modern-day attitude is no different. A Redditor asked Reddit women what they found most surprising about the male body when they saw a man naked for the first time, and the responses range from totally expected to hilarious. Scroll down to check 'em out, and let us know if they missed anything in the comments. 

There are nosy people that tend to overstep their boundaries, barging into people's private lives without a care in the world. There are certain questions that women are used to being asked by these nosy a$$holes, and Reddit women compiled a collection of them on the thread below. If you're guilty of asking these questions, consider yourself a fellow nosy a$$hole from here on it. Some things are none of your business, alright? Alright. Glad that's settled. Scroll down to see hear all about what Reddit women are sick and tired of being asked. 

Work can be fun and challenging at the same time. Some days are obviously better than others, and managers, coworkers, and clients have a lot to do with how your day goes. A Redditor started a thread asking Reddit women about the dumbest questions they've ever been asked at work, and boy, did they fire back with entertaining stories. As dumb as these questions are, they sure make for an entertaining workday. Scroll down to check 'em out. 

As fun as being a woman is, it's not all rainbows and butterflies all the time. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes we're in shitty moods. That doesn't automatically mean we're on our periods (which coincidentally also call for shitty moods). Guys who think it's funny to ask us if we're on our periods - you're not original. We've heard it all before. Try asking what's bugging us instead, or come up with something fresh, please. Reddit ladies totally rocked a thread where a woman asked how they respond to guys mockingly asking if they're on their periods. Here's how to respond next time a guy in your life thinks he's being clever with this dumb AF question. 

Ever since dating apps came about, unspoken rules have developed over what kind of pictures and bios are likely to score matches. For some reason, it's become a fact that men who post pictures of themselves pridefully holding a dead fish on a fishing trip are basic AF. On a thread, a Redditor asked Reddit women why they hate his kind of picture so much, and as per usual, they delivered. Men who are guilty of uploading this picture should consider taking their advice. No more fish-men for us, please.
