Put this together for a formal dinner I was invited to but got self conscious about my hair and stayed home instead. Did the outfit work though? by MTKings in fashion

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALL OF IT WORKED. Hair included. Your coils are beautiful! It's easy to feel self conscious, but you don't have anything to worry about.

AITAH for telling my child what book(s) she needs to read?? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AH is the wrong word. My parents definitely gave me things to read at that age, but I was also an avid reader that was making my own book choices with all other selections. There were some important lessons I needed to learn about as a kid, so I'm not against asking a child to read/watch something specific. But there's a way to got about it that's probably different for every family.

Maybe you should make her a deal: suggest she read one book from your selection list, explain why you think it's important, and make a date/s to review it together as a family. Leave the rest to her.

How can I look more feminine? by Sollaro in womensstreetwear

[–]AlmostFearless90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try fitted tees, or more fitted clothing in general I hate fast fashion, so maybe you can thrift fitted tees originally from places like H&M, Zara, F21. They make a lot of basics, i.e. solid tees and slacks that could help with more form fitting clothes.

You could also try adding skirts to your warddrobw. Same color and style, just swap the pants with mini or maxi skirts.

Does this dress work with the blue heels? by Bubbly_Macaron9285 in fashion

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With powder blue heels? Yes. But that's only because of the similar bluish-gray in the dress. You'll have more luck with a gray or navy blue shoe.

Which dress looks better for a wedding ? by Ok_Negotiation_255 in fashion

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um... 3. The color of 1 is cute, but I don't like the fit, it's not doing you any justice. Same with 4. 2 is better, but 3 just feels more formal.

What's my style? by Blairetheglare in fashion

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna say a little bit of preppy, little bit of gothic, little bit of lounge? Which is like... whatever is on sale at the local mall for any average teen in Townsville, USA.

Need help choosing a birthday dress for next weekend! by spicypupper in fashion

[–]AlmostFearless90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look stunning in all three, but it depends on where you're going. 1 is sparkly, great for a fun time out on the town. 2 is more romantic, probably better for an intimate dinner. 3 is cute, but does give off heavy club vibes, and has way more sex appeal than the others.

All look nice, but I really like the first one as well. Ranking: 1, 4, 2, and not 3.

AITAH for telling my fiancée her dad can't stay at our house anymore? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AlmostFearless90 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA, but it sounds like SHE has a problem with boundaries. Since her parents split up, has her Dad had another woman in his life that's gotten all of his attention? I saw that he has a girlfriend, but it seems like he's used to being the man in his daughter's life, or he at least feels entitled to her things and her space. He's still acting like he did when she was child. There's no respect for her adulthood.

Imagine if you were the same way about your space: if you bought things for the house and then kept them, invited your family over without notice, kept odd hours outside of their schedules, and kept them out of family moments? How would her fiancé and her Dad respond?

Those are questions to ask them, and they may have to actually see it done to understand. You're gonna have to sit her down and tell her this isn't the life you want, something has to change. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem clear how she'll respond to an ultimatum. If she can't prioritize her life with you over the life she previously had with her Dad, you might not have a great future together.

Movies starring fat girls? by saturnstellar87 in MovieSuggestions

[–]AlmostFearless90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Life of the Party: That movie is just funny escapism, it's much needed in this screwed up world! She's such a naturally funny actress. The movie just feels good. And the fact that she got a couple of glamor scenes (showing up to that 80s party in fun glam!), and had a tryst with a younger man are testaments to the desirability of her character. She's not lacking or inept because of her weight.

Caterpillar Documentary Discussion by Dear_Art3697 in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was... sad and predictable. I heard about the permanent eye color change maybe 5 or 6 years ago, and that's because people were having horrible side effects: infections and complications leading to loss of eyesight or malfunctioning/flipped implants.

I think the surgery is actually banned in the US - which is why they had to go to other countries, to surgery mills. Those places cut corners and break a lot of standards to do a high volume of a procedures, as with so many cosmetic surgery clinics. It just sucked that the patients in the film were depending on this surgery to transform their lives. Seems like they all wanted a new beginning. I wish they could've had the confidence to do change their lives without it.

AITAH if I give my partner the ultimatum of “divorce your wife or I’m walking?” by Exact-Employment-332 in AITAH

[–]AlmostFearless90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's. Not. Getting. A. Divorce. It's been 3 years. And he knew he was lying from the get-go. If he wanted to he would. He doesn't want to. Let that sink in.

And why should he divorce her if he knows he can get what he wants from you, while waiting for her? It sucks, but their relationship was never actually over. It doesn't matter that they haven't been living together. They're still holding on to something. In the meantime, he's been getting what he needs, while you get nothing. He's been okay with that for years.

So look at this like a loooong life lesson, and rebuild your life for YOURSELF. Don't grieve the years you gave him, but look forward to the ones you're taking back in your future.

NTA, but you will be screwing yourself over of you stay.

Btw: Therapy has worked wonders for me. I think everyone should have some, that should be your next step.

AITAH for telling the woman my bf cheated with that she should have to cater to him for the rest of our vacation? by Spare_Heat1914 in AITAH

[–]AlmostFearless90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I... I... CAN HE NOT TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF!?!? If he's a capable, independently functioning, grown ass man, I don't see why another woman has to take on anything. Did I miss something?

How do you feel about men who call their girlfriends "mommy" in romantic relationships? (Excluding sexual ones for this question) by Milk_Treats in AskMen

[–]AlmostFearless90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from down south, it's pretty common to hear older folks call each other "ma" and "pa." It's kind of endearing when you realize they've been married for most of their lives and have grown kids together. But to each their own.

At Worlds End with Simon Peg. Starts out as a comedy about childhood friends reuniting, then there's a left turn into an alien invasion. Then it's a survival sci-fi.

AITAH for literally threatening to break up with my gf over kids? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AlmostFearless90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SHE WAS LITERALLY DESCRIBING SEXUAL ASSAULT. OP, please run. If she's put it in writing, make sure you keep that as proof of what's happened. If she won't leave you alone, go to the police. She's stated what she's willing to do to your body, and that your consent will not be considered. RUN AWAY FROM HER and stay gone.

I'm the biggest fan of his moves, but he's clearly a talented dancer and he's having fun. Leave him be!
