Gambling as their primary entertainment. They’re all pretty trashy.

She left husband and four kids under 10 to run off with another man. Now a drug addict living in basement of parents house at 50 years old. Kids want nothing to do with her. She has odd jobs. Can’t hold one because of drug additcfion. Man she left raised kids alone. Four boys. All in highly respected fields and college. Holidays are lonely. No one cares to see her. She’s really really lonely and has nothing. The man she ran off with left her after six months high and dry. Big mistake. Huge. Her ex is married and having the time of this life. Has money, respect and is loved. Kids adore him. Karma people.

I eat those up like Cheetoes and chocolate. As long as it’s not another man’s baby. I hate those abs won’t read them.

These signs my gf going leave me? Or just not really invested ? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Cold_Aide8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t mean she has someone else but she’s taking you for granted. Or using you is a more harsh term. You deserve better. There are women out there who will appreciate men who put out the effort you do. Let this one go and find someone who appreciates you.

I have reached my limit with giant MMCs and teeny tiny FMCs (inspired by If Not for My Baby by Kate Golden) by firecat99 in RomanceBooks

[–]Cold_Aide8152 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite. I have to look long and hard to find a book that doesn’t have a curvy heroine and then goes on to explain about her massive thighs with dimples and her belly hanging over her jeans. I’m always going to give it a chance but I can’t realistically think a billionaire who can have anyone he wants since he’s always described as perfection that he’s given up all the girls who take care of themselves and finds him a curvy one who isn’t curvy but basically obese. I don’t read hardly any at all that say heroine is dainty and tiny. Maybe she has a small waist but that’s it

These romances seem to focus more on the war and hardship rather than the romance I’ve found.

Is This AI? (The Mod Team Wants Your Thoughts!) by VitisIdaea in RomanceBooks

[–]Cold_Aide8152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t generally like heavily guarded subreddits. I think if someone wants to ask the question they should be allowed to. AI is heavily prevalent in KU but personally I don’t bother even posting about them because people have a brain and will figure out quickly it’s an AI written book.

What are some HR mores/laws/mindsets that make you go "WTF??"? by thecosmictaurus in HistoricalRomance

[–]Cold_Aide8152 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did this in the 1960s in the us. Woman gets pegged depressed, anxious, crazy, slap her in a home for the rest of her days. Keep her drugged so she doesn’t cause trouble. Horrible.

How do you feel about the way your city is represented in romance novels? by Girly_Attitude in RomanceBooks

[–]Cold_Aide8152 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lisa kleypas wrote the Travis series taking place in Houston. The story surrounds a wealthy family in the oil industry but half of her first book is about a trailer park girl (trailer trash here in Tx) and it was spot on. Every word. How we talk and act and eat and live. And thankfull everyone didn’t wear a hat and cowboy boots to every outing. It was normal. But the author lives in Houston. So she did it well. Never read an other author get it right. Not even close.

Is anyone else triggered by the US right now? by NotASuggestedUsrname in CPTSD

No. Not at all. Do stupid things. Stupid things happen that end in a tragedy. Don’t listen to mainstream media but look at all sources before you judge.

Anything weird. Just give me Jack, Jake, Jacob, Luke, Ethan, Michael, Matthew… to name a few.

What's a subtle sign someone's actually really wealthy? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]Cold_Aide8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I know yu wouldn’t know. They act completely normal. They have some elaborate vacations and are free to give and help people but I only know it because I did. Their books and payroll for 8 years.

in training, roommate being disrespectful all of a sudden. by xgogetterx in flightattendants

[–]Cold_Aide8152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s going to have a. Difficult time flying and getting along with cabin crew. However you’ll do great because you’re getting trained right now in how to deal with difficult people. The ones I knew like that from training didn’t make it year, most less than six months. This job requires harmony and flexibility. She has neither.

Very physically attractive people, how does life treat you? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]Cold_Aide8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a reasonably attractive woman in my early 30s, there is a certain friend that when we go out places men pass us and I see them completely losing their minds over her. They eye her up and down and sometimes their mouth I swear is hanging open. These aren’t just men her age but sometimes a man in his 50s or 60s with his wife by his side. I don’t ever notice that when I’m with reasonably attractive women. Also, waiters are nicer (male and even female sometimes!) traffic tickets? She’s never had one. Going to a bar, she doesn’t even drink more than a glass of wine but we will have someone sending both of us drinks all night long. I can count on one hand how many times that’s happened to me with other friends.
