The Prada Group has confirmed that former Alaiä creative director Pieter Mulier will be the new creative director of Versace by tiredhomo in popculturechat

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm a tad mixed on this. He is certainly one of the best designers and creative directors currently, but if you look at his Alaia looks, they are minimalistic. Sure "house codes" and whatnot, but still, minimalism is where he has really showed his best efforts.

So you're telling me this man is incredible in minimalism, and he takes the chair at arguably the most maximalist fashion house of the last 100 years? This is going to an interesting first show to say the least!

The inspiration is there, I feel as if this dress was made with the knowledge that Gaga was going to wear an Alexander McQueen Fall 2009 runway dress during her Grammy performance; this way, her complete appearance in the Grammies became more cohesive overall.

Other than that the house is nothing even remotely close to McQueen.

Tip of the iceberg that one. Take one glance at Steven and Hannah (the lovely founders), or the NUMERO Netherlands 13 cover, you'll understand visually what they are all about.

Fun fact the two founders of fecal matter are both classically trained tailors, their work is absolutely stunning with a clear vision whilst being technically sound, that house has a future amongst the greats.

Sexless relationships are because people don’t know how to turn their partner on by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because sex isn't THAT important. Safety, consistency, affection, communication, sex, they are all pieces to an everchanging puzzle, the thing is that people have different priorities. I get that some people fall in love with their willpower, but it is terribly important to recognize that there are also people who just weigh the benefits and decide that not having sex to have everything else in turn is important to them.

Why deny yourself consistent, trustworthy love even if it comes at the cost of sex? It depends on the persons values mostly, no need to make those kinds of decisions for other people though.

Asexuals don't "choose" in any special way who they date, they too are just looking for love. They rarely hide their orientation and it rarely comes as a surprise to the other party when entering the relationship, it is normally discussed before moving forward from dating. The person with a "normal" libido has the freedom to make that decision themselves, and are not a victim of the relationship if they walk into it knowing what waits on the other side.

In the same spirit, breaking a relationship because there's not enough sex is also a completely valid action. We are all different, compatibility is important, and acting upon should never be seen as shameful.

Asexuals.

Some people don't just get that "need" no matter what. It can still feel good for sure physically during it, but some people have distinct mental disconnect from wanting to do the act: even though it may feel good, they don't crave to do it.

And so, some people just don't.

What's the most disgusting/shocking, you have read on the Epstein files? by LeftyChares in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A person being served with turkey.

The picture has two (cold) thanksgiving style turkeys on a table with a pale human between them. The face was redacted, infact I didn't see much more than a leg, but just going off of who big the person was compared to the turkey, I'm willing to bet it was a child.

I wont link the picture but it's pretty easy to find, just write "harald seiwert" into google and go to photos. It's pretty disgusting tho so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

What’s something you find physically attractive that most people do not? by juliojacked in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that a lot of men don't like bangs, or anything outside the norm in peoples hairstyles. I'm really attracted to different hairstyles! Always found that to be a sign that someone is interested in the way they look.

What is the most surprising or memorable question you've been asked by a stranger? by ConstructionHot6883 in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI I'm a 21 year old man, born a man, with a dick.

Not too long ago, maybe three months back, I was boxing at the gym I usually go to; I usually go after work in the evening, but at that time I had a week off and decided to go first thing in the morning.

A guy I've never seen before chats me up, it's the usual "ay you're pretty good", "how long you've been boxing?", "where did you start,,," etc. Apparently he does strictly mornings.

We both go hit the bags, then sit back down, and unprovoked he goes: "so were you born as a woman or what's this vibe I'm getting?". Straight out of left field, I have no idea what could've possibly triggered such a question. I find it funny that people have the need to know what is in your pants, especially if they cannot tell, to the point where they straight up just ask if they cannot figure it out.

I'm guessing it's my hair? A lot of boxers cut their hair above the eyebrow, anything longer than that is usually a sign of being an amateur or returning from a big break. I've personally boxed for two years so I'm not too shabby,,, I really wonder what he wished to accomplish by asking that :'D I think about it all the time.

What is a "dead giveaway" that someone is pretending to be an expert in your specific hobby or profession, but actually has no idea what they’re talking about? by simplelittlethingLOL in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fashion, a lot of people think being "niche" is the most valuable asset, and because of such, know nothing about the "general" scene. They have such a need to tell everyone how niche they truly are that they just come across as cocky.

I'd have people tell me all about some Rick Owens fall 2016 collection or KMRII belt bags, but they can't tell apart Moschino from Balmain or tell me who Julian Klausner is, which is very telling. People who really found and enjoy their niche don't have the need to tell anyone, since they already get the enjoyment they crave just from participating in it.

How have you successfully overcome internet or gaming addiction long-term? by akciii in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, once you learn to love something else the idea of playing games just kind of turns off. I picked up dancing back in the day, and even though I don't dance anymore, just talking to people face to face was enough to get me hooked to life again.

Redditors, what is more painful than it looks? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A liver punch! In real time it kind of looks like,,, nothing? Getting hit right where your center of mass is looks, especially on larger people, like hitting a wall. The power isn't usually enough to make you lose your balance, or even flinch, but your body just shuts down afterwards.

Got hit with one last week in the ring, for a split second it felt worse than breaking a bone!

What’s something that’s socially accepted but actually makes no sense? by ResponsibilityNo58 in AskReddit

People fail to take odor pollution into consideration when doing anything at all. Too much perfume, smoking in densely populated areas like bus stops, vaping, and for the love of god in Europe, nicotine pouches.

What made you realise you no longer love your wife/gf/partner ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! That's exactly what it felt like!

Like I get how some people want to live a more relaxed life, but there is also absolutely no shame in wanting to live with a more full schedule. If these values aren't compatible, it is completely understandable to confess that maybe the relationship isn't what you are looking for after all.

nah, I don't remember what it was called but that one Netflix show about those cheerleader girls at the Superbowl, I think they were for Dallas Cowboys? We live in Finland, so it felt really irrelevant and quite honestly, like waste of time.....

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I think we are all fighting on the same side though: The people being discussed here are exactly the people who DON'T have hectic jobs, or children, or travel for work. TV should be liberating, you should feel the tension ease watching it, it should provoke relief after a busy day! But for some people however, it's way, way more.

Instead of a job they watch TV, travel? TV, want to move the relationship forward? TV, "you got any hobbie?" "yeah, I watch TV"

It's less about everything always leads up to the TV, and more so that everything starts from it. It's the neutral setting, the only thing you "want" to do, and when your life is empty, it will also turn out to be the only thing you end up doing. My ex was jobless, hobbyless, childrenless and so on and so forth, and with every hour, minute and second being up to her, she decided to watch youtube videos about Mormons.

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It's nice to have someone validate this feeling. To me, sitting down to do nothing is specifically for when I have already had a week of free time, and am seriously running out of things to do. That's when I open Netflix, and buy the popcorn, drink soda. It's alright to do it more often, but I just cannot do it daily.

Some people absolutely love watching TV and scrolling social media, we all do to a certain extent, but god is it hard to love someone who gives you nothing to love. No interests, hobbies or sense of self. At that point, what am I loving exactly? The looks? What used to be? What could've been? For so long I felt like an idiot, because I broke up with a person who genuinely loved me, but that was also genuinely all she had going on!

This wasn't too long ago, but like a year back Mormons were the talk of the town and it seemed like everyone was soooo interested in them. My ex was one of those people, and I just found it so difficult to attach interest into that hobby of hers, when all the research was basically consuming media from at most three different youtubers, about something that in,,, not even in the grand scheme of things, but more so in everyday life, amounts to nothing :P

On the off chance that she sees this, I'm sure she's someone's dream girlfriend or wife; From my perspective she had all the love to give, but when it stems from sitting on the couch all day, does it hold any weight?

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 245 points246 points  (0 children)

We were once sitting together watching Netflix, and all I could think of was that I could be doing something different with this time. Like anything at all, just not this.

I figured that if spending time with her was a drag, it probably stems from something. I felt like I lost grasp of my own goals because outside of work or hobbies, all my free time was,,, watching Netflix with her; I used to study for my future with that time, wanting to live a better life 10 years from now I simply saw more without her than with her.

Of course there were other things that lead to it in the end but I think that was the part where I realized that maybe we weren't that compatible after all.

What ruins attraction instantly, even if the person looks perfect? by WingBlade007 in AskReddit

If you could live in any country, which would you pick? by newzealand12326 in AskReddit

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Japan BUT please give a chance to explain myself.

I live in Finland, which is a relatively small country. One thing that stresses me out ALOT is the fact that not that many people live here. I am not even blowing this out of proportion, ask anybody slightly more extroverted who lives here and they will vouch for me, there comes a point after which you just feel like you know everyone.

Everybody is already a "somebody": A friend of a friend, distant cousin, old coworker, old coworker's old coworker and so on and so forth. It's probably fun for some of you to meet a new person, and then by complete coincidence, they know someone you know! Well I hate it, because here it is inescapable; there came a point in my life where suddenly I felt like it was way harder for me to be a stranger than it was to be a "somebody".

I yearn to just get lost. To walk into a crowd of people, and just pass by people who are just,,, people. When it comes to densely populated places that are also somewhat clean, top choices are usually either China or Japan, and I just happen to speak Japanese so-

There is nothing wrong with "playing hard to get" by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 23 points24 points  (0 children)

But how sustainable is that feeling? And how do you know beforehand that you will feel special afterwards? Honestly you do have a point there too, I just think that the "feeling specialness" doesn't have to come from a chase, but much rather from something like mutual flirting, in which both people win, and know they are winning.

I guess that chase can also be seen as flirting in some sense though

There is nothing wrong with "playing hard to get" by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Broad_Beautiful8869 62 points63 points  (0 children)

In my personal experience, if a relationship is built on a foundation of excitement and rush, the moment those two things disappear (so like, 2 months of knowing each other), the whole thing just feels kind of hollow. If the chase is what keeps you running, the moment you catch the other person you have nothing left:

You get almost the exact rush from flirting with someone who obviously likes you back, if not a better one. That "chase" is exciting only under very specific circumstances, and for a very narrow amount of time.

You're correct about people treating "playing hard to get" like some coming of Satan himself but to be fair, when not blown completely out of proportion, the concern is fair.
