It's full of warm fuzzies!!

Haha, I love this, so many feels + super supportive ^^ <3

The boss ladies in this community - all mods & ECs - have always been gracious & honest, and that's probably what I respect the most, so shout-outs for that. The users below are just a couple who I haven't seen mentioned yet so I wanted to give em some love, lol:

/u/cats_or_get_out - for being so kind and consistently sharing grounded advice - her post on the value of a husband's wisdom sums up what RPW means to me, as far as what I'd want in a relationship.

/u/sunnie- for always being sweet & fun in the IRC, but primarily for inspiring this post which spawned fantastic comments; the top one by u/littleknownfacts forever changed the way I vet men now~

Mine is you /u/BellaScarletta !! I always enjoy your humor on the IRC & on here. And I always look forward to Sh!t Post Saturday because I know your posts will have me hysterical!

I also enjoy reading your FR from Bella & your old user. They are extremely insightful and wonderfully well written.

I would also like to add /u/littleknownfacts . I am amazed at how you always find the most interesting articles to share here, especially the very scientific ones. Those are fascinating and it's always a great group discussion when us RPWs get all in the nitty gritty.

Oh hey thanks!!! :D

Gosh I haven't posted an FR in forever, I haven't even thought about it. R and I are moving in together this Friday though so I'm sure I can drum something up d: Haha I'm glad to know you like the Tumblr humour though cuz like....it's Tumblr lmfao. I won't be surprised when y'all are sick of that noise (even though I still have to read it every day!)

I'm glad you like them, I'm always worried they will end up... dry... Lol

/u/IrisandOleander for being my Twitter bestie!

/u/Sunhappy_DC for knowing what's up on the back burner - she's fantastic at seeing the full picture.

/u/CoochQuarantine because sometimes I wonder if she's a more advanced version of me.

/u/Camille11325 because she seems to know EVERYTHING! I feel like there's not a topic that girl can't speak on.

/u/PhantomDream09 for being my fellow tall person - we're still MFP goal buddies! :)

/u/TempestTcup has so much wisdom that I feel doesn't get enough recognition. Any time I see her comments, I just upvote because there is absolutely nothing I could add.

/u/Jade_Cat for being the quiet calm steadiness. She's been here a long time and she knows so much!

What a lovely idea for a post! I'd like to give a shout out to all of the newly active women who have been posting and commenting on the sub. There are too many to name but you haven't gone unnoticed! It's so great when we get fresh voices and new faces so if you're lurking don't be shy :) Looking forward to even more great discussions with you all!

[–]Sunhappy_DC 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everyone is so kind. What a lovely thread. Thank you yall.

Users that have really help me blossom as a woman and embrace myself more in the last 2 years (Yes child It's almost been that long) and are just really nice and kind women in general.

/u/_wingnut_ -- You already know how much I adore you. Excellent character and loyalty. Flawless taste in music and questionable taste in movies :p You are SO DIFFERENT from me, but we are yet so similar. Thank you for yelling at me more than a year ago in PM about how ridiculous I was and thank you for listening to me go on about my ex alpha. It was from those conversations I learned so much about myself, my past decisions, what I wanted in life and how to get it. I have definitely grown as a woman due in part to your company and I am grateful.

/u/Camille11325 -- So so different from me, but I absolutely appreciate and admire your desire to be all things feminine and womanly. It's a rare trait nowadays and I think you are smart for taking that on early. Even small things like skincare, makeup suggestions (I finally have a routine i love!), hair prodcuts and fitness. I think just by talking to someone who was into those things and didn't shame herself for liking feminine selfcare really helped me be more comfortable with doing girly stuff. I'm sure you remember how I looked when I first joined haha! a WORLD of difference! <3 <3 Thank you.

/u/TempestTcup -- for giving the newbies hope that you can find a man and keep him for generations and still be a wild woman at heart <3

/u/whistling_dixie and /u/Irisandoleander -- My twitter homegirls!! <3 I am not on twitter anymore but I think both of you are just darling women and I love talkin to yall.

/u/CoochQuarantine -- The only woman I call "Cooch" proudly <3 I love how active you are on the sub and I'm really happy that your relationship is working out. You have fought hard in the last few years to reform your life and you're see the fruit of that effort and for that, I think you're awesome.

[–]CoochQuarantine 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thank you so much sun! Your words mean so much to me. I am just floored right now. You ladies are too sweet.

[–]Littleknownfacts 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

Sorry I'm on moble so I can't link everyone proper. But if RPW were my family Camile would be mom, WingNut would be dad. Tempest would be my crazy fun Aunt. Cooch and Bella my sister's. You guys are all so great and each add such a unique perspective to my world view. Thank you for your contributions to the sub!

[–]CoochQuarantine 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

HEY SIS :D I love you assessment of all the mods (plus Bella). We ARE like one big happy family here.

[–]BellaScarletta[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lol when you have to put a family member in awkward obligatory parenthesis I think that's like your first, second, and third sign they are like the hunchbacked step-sister....ah well, OWNING IT!

[–]BellaScarletta[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hahahaha I love that analogy so much!! We love like family and we fight like family from time to time (; but most importantly heaven forbid an outsider come disrespectfully into our home...muahaha. You know the guns rights signs on houses? We need one like "this sub is protected by the 2nd amendment" d:

/u/irisandoleander - you always come across as so incredibly wise and good-natured. i follow your blog and feel like i always inherit some little nugget of wisdom when i read a new post from you.

/u/superslaviswife - i always find your posts to be very thought provoking and well thought-out. i can tell that your views have come from your own experiences and thought, and never find any of your content to feel like RP-regurgitation. i also follow and appreciate your blog.

/u/_wingnut_ - i've followed your posts for years now, since the inception of RPW as a subreddit. i can honestly say that you're a kind of intellectual mentor for me, and i've learned so much from your writing.

[–]Irisandoleander 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is so very sweet of you! Thank you. You put a huge smile on my face this morning.

This is a great idea for a thread!

I really enjoyed /u/mabeol's post about "How To Get Stuff Done" - if you haven't taken the quiz yet, I strongly encourage you to do so.

/u/madscientistlove submitted a very popular thread several months ago about "Unpopular Opinions" and I think we should have a second round because it generated some fantastic conversations.

/u/cxj also wrote a great post about "Transactional Thinking". It's an important topic, and I hope we can create more discussions about this mindset and the various ways it can manifest.

/u/m0llywobbles wrote one of my favorite "Field Reports" to date. It's so well written and insightful, and I really hope she writes an update at some point when she has time. :0)

/u/sariaru's post about "NFP/LAM and you..." was a thoughtful and informative write up that really surprised a lot of users in a great way. These methods are often scorned, mocked, derided or fully ignored - especially in high school sex ed classes. It makes sense, given the general inexperience of young adults, and also the heightened concern for avoiding disease as much as possible. I think this method is really something that should only be used only in a steady LTR or marriage.

So I have a few people who I would like to shout out.

/u/fhigurethisout I want to say thank you for starting the RPWi weekly reflections thread. It has been a great idea and I am proud to be continuing on your legacy here and helping women remain accountable to themselves.

/u/Sunhappy_DC when I first came here your tone was really what made me snap out of it. It was harsh, to the point, and quite frankly, really reminded me of an old family member that would tell it like it is. I was drawn to that. I don't know why I needed a kick in the pants like I did but you dished it out and I ate up everything you said. You my friend were really a pivotal figure in my change. So thank you.

/u/StingrayVC, I don't know if you remember this but I used to think you were a mod. Your presence here is such a great one and I automatically looked to you for guidance. You've been so helpful with some of my earlier posts and gave me a lot of confidence to actually post them. Thanks!!!!

/u/irisandoleander Thank you for the encouragement with the recipes. I can get kinda down on myself when I don't get things right (fucking yeast!!!!!!!!!!!) but you really are always enthusiastic about me trying things and that is awesome!

/u/whistling_dixie myfitnesspal buddy. I love it! I always feel like I find out something new about you and always say "MEEE TOOOO!!!!!" hahha. How can someone so far away be so similar? I love it.

Last but certainly not least /u/BellaScarletta. What can I say to a woman who is like the devil on my shoulder? LOL. I know I can always count on your for some juicy controversy but more than that, I can count on you for a laugh. Your posts are always thoughtful and honest to the core. Your absence was felt by me when you went away for a little bit. NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Truthfully, all of you women contribute to this sub so I'm shouting you all out.

For those who are new here. Thank you for your questions. Your determination to work on your relationships is inspiring.

For those who lurk here. Thank you for reading what we have to say.

For those who contribute here. Thank you for your contributions. You make this sub what it is every single day.

For those who are EC's here. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to sharing the RPWi's theories, methods and discussions. You are leaders in this group and deservedly so.

For those who are Mods (aside from me cause how weird would that be??). You are the backbone of this place. You keep us in line. You keep us sane. You keep us on the right course. You encourage us to learn. You embrace us when we stand tall. You help us get back up when we fall. Thank you.

For those who are BP. Thank you for making me laugh. It's always a great time reading your analysis of our stuff.

Hahaha oh god I won't - I felt like a crazy person for how much I missed my internet friends...dark days man, dark days indeed...shudders

SHOUTOUT TO THE H8ERS, how could we almost forget our biggest fans? Thanks for remembering them!

  • /u/CoochQuarantine - I actually thought of this post idea long before you became a mod, and what I had to stay then still stands. When you first started posting regularly I can completely admit I had a mistrust of you. I think it was the bits and pieces you dropped about your pre-RPW life, and sometimes I felt you came off way too strong with that background considered. But the more you posted, the more you demonstrated such a willingness to own your shortcomings and mistakes, and it was that strong sense of personal accountability that influenced the strength of the judgments you delivered to others. Rock on lady, plus, your hair is enviably fabulous.

  • /u/rialuxe - Most of you probably don't know rialuxe at all haha. She's very quiet in the sub but she's an avid reader and quite the conversationalist if you're lucky enough to catch her in the IRC. I'm hoping she comes out to play more often because she is always willing to discuss post ideas with me and has great thoughts (: Edit: to highlight my point, in the two minutes between when I made the post and when I pasted this giant comment, rialuxe pmed me to let me know she liked it haha. One of our quietest but most involved users indeed <3

  • /u/Jade_Cat - I always think of you as such a calm person based on our interactions. If I'm completely off the mark...please don't correct me because I find it inspirational haha. I'm a very anxious person and enjoy the relaxed way you have of approaching things, without compromising on the principle of the matter. Also thanks for Gratituesday, I love it <3

I wanted to avoid mods since their contributions are the most obvious and easy to notice, but as far as personal chats I've had go: /u/Camille11325 has a wisdom beyond her years and an ability to push you in your stances and make you question things worth questioning, and /u/PhantomDream09 has a quiet way of taking in information about a person and then reframing it in ways that help you realize a lot about what you're doing and where you are going. Those are two small personal contributions they've made speaking to me, which I very much appreciate.

Omg you are too kind! Also I agree /u/rialuxe is pretty awesome :) (as is everyone else!!)

/u/Camille11325 is extremely wise and never fails to provide a unique perspective. She's great at opening you up and questioning what you take for granted and balancing intellectualism with poise.

/u/BellaScarletta is hilarious and calls it like it is. She has unique insights into being in relationships and being part of a team instead of focusing on yourself.

both /u/camille11325 and /u/bellascarletta have been amazing mentors :)

I'm legit crying at work. You are so sweet Bella! I rub people the wrong way when they meet me generally so your assessment of me isn't too far off from real life. Thank you so much for your kind words :D

[–]BellaScarletta[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Well you rubbed me the wrong way and then you rubbed me....the right way? Hm. Yeah okay, I'll stick with that. You rub me the right way Cooch (oh god what is happening). Okay you're crying at work and now I'm stifling laughter at mine.

Boss: "Y u laugh?"

Me: "Cooch rubs me the right way sir"

u/_wingnut_ for always posting the sometimes harsh redpill truth and getting frequently down voted for it on her own sub.
