LIZ JONES: My confidence has been severely knocked because I had to take a selfie. I never take selfies or look in a mirror
'You no longer look like that.' It's always the bad review you hold on to, chew over. Never the raves, the compliments. My confidence has been severely knocked of late, not helped by the fact I had to take a selfie (no make-up, 'no filters!') for an upcoming feature about how Harvard boffins could gauge my biological age by examining my face. I never take selfies or look in a mirror. I always sit to one side during Zoom meetings, even with my therapist, to avoid watching myself. But I was forced to glance at this new selfie in order to send it, and I was shocked. I look like a tortoise. I comfort myself with the thought my phone still just about recognises me, but still: I have teeny hammocks each side of my mouth that only disappear if I smile, which isn't likely at this point. I have reached the stage when women tend to go one of two ways: they give up, wearing long, floral dresses and ballet flats with mad, greying hair, purchasing cushions to kneel on for weeding. Or they double down, thinking, 'Well, Joan Collins still looks amazing!'

Women Are Sharing The Things Men Don't Realize Are A Complete Turn Off, And Honestly, Facts
For some reason, people always talk about their dating 'turn-ons,' but not nearly as much about their 'turn-offs.' If you're curious about the latter, it's your lucky day. In one Reddit thread, women shared the things men do that turn them off, and I've compiled them for you here. Ahead, I've rounded up 19 different perspectives. (Some of these are wayyy too accurate.) 1."When they start bragging about other women. I think they think it makes them seem desirable, but it turns me off." –PurpleNightSkies 2."NOT ASKING QUESTIONS! Seriously, even replying consistently with a 'what about you' is unreliable with most men." –Saltyforever 3."Talking about crypto." –UselessAndUnloveable 4."Bragging about their intelligence and looking down on and/or refusing to interact with anyone who has a different viewpoint because they deem them as 'unintelligent' or 'simple-minded.'" "One guy I knew called people he saw as dumb as 'subhuman.' That, and constantly trying to look like the smartest person in the room by finding something to debate or correct you on." –OkJournalist2816 5."In partnerships, expecting her to tell you what to do when it comes to household management and family relationships. She's not your mom. You're a grown ass adult, you should be able to figure out how to prioritize chores and how to do tasks." "If a woman starts to feel that she has to mother her partner and teach, demonstrate, or supervise every chore because her partner doesn't do a good job or forgets how every time, she will be resentful, exhausted, and she won't want to have sex with you any more, because she feels like your mother. It's very unsexy to feel like somebody's mother." –BalladofBadBeard Related: Sorry, But It's Actually Physically, Mentally, And Emotionally Impossible Not To Smile At Any Of These Pictures 6."Spitting in public. I swear that every time I'm out somewhere and see a dude and think, 'gee, that's a good-looking guy,' then he turns his head and hocks a loogie. Wtf, you guys? Stop it." –amsterdamyankee 7."Entitlement. You're not entitled to any woman's time, attention, body, kindness, or support." –totallytotallytotes 8."Dirty fingernails. I love a good set of strong man hands, but oh my god, clean your nails." –Jollybosom 9."Calling yourself an 'Alpha Male.' Please stop – it's cringey as hell, and it makes you look stupid." –Silver-Virus-8683 Related: Here Are 18 "Red Flags" That Made Women Break Up With Their Long-Term Partners, And I COMPLETELY Understand Why Marriage Rates Are Declining 10."A big truck – unless you actually use it for hauling things or work. I don't know why so many men feel like they NEED a truck." –FollowingNew4641 11."Asking for pictures early in the talking stage." –Arial_3 12."Being a bad driver or having road rage." –Lostbyway 13."Calling women 'females.' For me, that's an immediate no." –ImATattooedGhost 14."PROJECTING INSECURITIES. I had so many guys who had nothing wrong with them, absolutely projecting their insecurities on me. There's nothing wrong with your height or your face. Just go to therapy." –Gettingjiggywithet 15."Talking to me only if they think I'm single. I value friendship as the most important pillar in my life. If you can't be my friend first, I don't want to see you naked." –Aleena_Arena 16."Negging. The very millisecond a man attempts this, I will flee. 95% of men who neg aren't clever enough to make it charming, or they just out themselves as being an actually bad person." –toomanyusernames300 17."Being mean to staff or service workers. Being mean in general." –ayy_the_dank_lord 18."Complaining about 'golddiggers' and how you're never wasting money on a diamond ring – buddy, if you'd ask a question, you'd know I have a good job and bought my own damn ring with my first bonus." –Future_Usual_8698 finally, "When they don't like cats." –Traditional-Way-1302 Do you have any turnoffs that belong on this list?

3 suspects sought after attempted abduction of 2 women in Mississauga
Police say this vehicle was used in an attempted abduction in Mississauga. (Peel Regional Police) Peel police are searching for three suspects who they say tried to abduct two women in Mississauga on Tuesday night. Police said the women were walking in the area of Britannia Road West and Queen Street South at 10:20 p.m. when the male suspects approached them. They allegedly attempted to engage with the women and lure them to their vehicle. 'The victims became fearful and ran away but were chased by the suspects on foot, who then attempted to take control of them,' police said. The victims later told police that one of the suspects may have been armed with a gun. Police said a passerby interrupted the suspects, prompting them to drive away. The victims were not physically injured. The suspects' vehicle is believed to be a newer-model, light-coloured Audi SUV. Police released a photo of the vehicle on Friday. Investigators do not have specific descriptions of the suspects, only that they are males of unknown race, of average height, wearing black clothing, and their faces are covered by balaclavas. They are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the suspects to call 905-453-2121 extension 1133 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

‘I felt unsafe': Montreal police to enhance Jarry Park patrols after women report voyeurism cases
Montreal police say they will increase their patrols in Jarry Park after receiving several complaints from women reporting cases of 'voyeurism and inappropriate gestures.' Women have posted on forums and social media in recent days that groups of men have been making women feel uncomfortable to the point where they got up and left because they felt unsafe. CTV News interviewed one woman who wrote about her experience in a post on Reddit following an incident on Tuesday. She said a group of men came and sat near her while she was sunbathing, and one of them came so close that he was nearly sitting on her mat while staring at her. 'You're almost naked at the pool — everybody is. So you're already kind of … more vulnerable. I really tried not to take it personally because it is a pool and there will be men … [but] it's hard as a woman. Like, is this a dangerous one? Or is this a weird one? And in that case it definitely felt weird,' she said. Voyeurism at Jarry Park A woman with her back to the camera speaks to CTV News about an unsettling experience of voyeurism at Jarry Park. (CTV News) CTV News is not naming her because she fears she will be targeted for speaking out. 'I was analyzing the whole thing: He has space [over] there, he has space here. He's definitely trying to do something to me. And he did do something to me. That's why I felt powerless and angry when I left because, at the end of the day, I had to leave,' she said. 'I was hanging out, relaxed, and then I felt unsafe.' More than 400 comments followed her post on Reddit with many women sharing similar experiences of seeing men going to the park, not to swim but to 'ogle' at women wearing bathing suits. In a written statement, Montreal police said Friday that they are taking the complaints from women seriously and are increasing their presence in the area to prevent and intervene in cases of 'unacceptable behaviour.' Police are also meeting with lifeguards at the pool to instruct them to report any further incidents immediately. 'We would like to reiterate that the safety and well-being of everyone who visits Jarry Park is a priority. Any form of harassment is unacceptable and will be dealt with severely,' police added. Protest planned for July 5 The phenomenon doesn't seem to be a new one, however. A Reddit post from more than a year ago described similar accounts at the park. The advocacy group Women Aware says it's also up to men to take action and change their behaviour. 'We're asking what women can do. And it's very unfair to put the responsibilities on us because the reality should be what men should not be doing,' said executive director Alham Mahmod in an interview. Meanwhile, a group of people is planning a protest on July 5 in Jarry Park. A description of the event on Facebook says the protest is meant to 'sensitize people into standing up for women.'
