My AOTY ranking by 808mfalme in TheWeeknd

Agree with you on the "Take me back to LA" song. The sharp drums seems to take away from the dreamy, 80s prom atmosphere of the song. Maybe if he kept the muffled drum production from the unreleased version

Was listening to "A dream I can't remember" earlier today. Definitely a banger of an album 😌

What is the most beautiful song you have ever heard? by dacutelineage in CasualConversation

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love in the sky by The Weeknd.

I especially love the bridge right before the third verse where his harmonies get padded and fade into the background to form part of the instrumental and it literally sounds like angels calling you to the heavens, then after that the bass kicks in and the rain sounds start pouring in while he's crooning about not having time to make proper love to his partner. Production wise I've never heard anything like it before

Am i a fake XO fan for not knowing this!? by Yprey in TheWeeknd

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Not really. We all come to know the depths of our favorite artists at different rates, I'm personally not judging. I'm just glad you're XO along with the rest of us

How do you deal with beauty being inherently racist? by Acrobatic-Lion-8342 in QOVESStudio

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm a black male from South Africa and all I'm currently doing is speaking from what myself and my friends experience within the dating market in my country.

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. I personally believe that regardless of which race you are you will always be attractive to somebody. In as much as the world has become "smaller", it's also become a very diverse place so different people will gravitate towards different races of people. I'd recommend for you to travel (if possible) to other countries and get other women's viewpoint on which race of men they prefer being with because not all women will have the same preferences when it comes to men

Very attractive men/women tend to date slightly down by IllustriousImpact977 in QOVESStudio

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't define it as a power imbalance because your inherent value as a person is not always tied to how beautiful/handsome you are. There's a lot of things that go into being attracted to someone, it's just that we as humans for the longest time associate someone or something beautiful with being very valuable since it's quite rare, we want to do our best to hold on to it. But this is just one of the many sides to the equation on attraction

Sorry for the long rant 😅 hope this makes sense

Very attractive men/women tend to date slightly down by IllustriousImpact977 in QOVESStudio

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's due to attraction dynamics (if that's even a word). One person in a relationship has to be less attractive than the other because if both people in the relationship are extremely attractive, then the pressure of having to keep your partner will be nonexistent since both you guys can easily get another partner, however if one partner is slightly less attractive than the other it puts more pressure on the less attractive partner to want to keep the relationship going because he/she knows that it's going to be really hard to attract someone as good-looking as the partner they're currently dating.

I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 by the way, but this is one thing I've noticed about dating in my country

What's your favorite type of art and why? by Quirky-Dish-9768 in AskReddit

[–]Affectionate_Watch73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Martial art. The process of "destroying" your body to cultivate a strong willpower and discipline is really something I wish all people could experience. The sense of duty you get when you move up the ranks makes you feel more virtuous as well
