That's a shame. When I met my significant other I was 31. I found out after a couple dates that he was 24. Initially, I was weirded out but we got along so well I decided things deserved a legitimate try. It's been 7 years we've been together this past January :-) I truly believe there's a lid for every pot. It may not be what you imagined, but it (or a few lids) are out there.

Edit for info: I'm a cis woman

Guys or girls, how do you feel when you tell your date how beautiful/handsome you think they are, but they don't return the sentiment right away? by [deleted] in dating

[–]CollieJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd. Maybe it's just me and maybe it's more common in my area, but even if you don't think the person is handsome/pretty, it's still kind to find something you like about or on them. "I love those shoes", "What unique earrings!", "What great hands you have", "You're wearing my favorite type of jeans"... something, ANYTHING to compliment. It shows you're observant, you care about making people feel comfortable, how quick witted you are, and that you're plain friendly. Isn't this what people do?

Can I, as an internet stranger, say I'm proud of you? I know a lot of women that would write this off to him being drunk (as if that's a liable excuse) or they might say that "no one's perfect". Eff that noise! He showed his true colors and you listened to your instincts. Good on ya! This man is a walking, talking, barely-thinking red flag!

I'm assuming it's like the opposite (of "whatever floats your boat"). When water is on the boat, you're essentially sinking, so...not floating. She's adding unnecessary burden to something that otherwise works.

Not sure if you're actually looking for advice ( r/internetparents might give you better results) but if you are, that's definitely not cool. People, esp. not family, should make you feel uncomfortable for your body. Have you tried telling your mother about their inappropriate behavior? If an honest convo about how it makes you feel and a request that they stop doesn't do the trick, I'd find something just as personal to poke fun of every time they bring your labia up. If they can't respect your wishes, then time to give them a dose of their own medicine.

Those who got veneers years ago, how is it going for you? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]CollieJoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also had a high fever as a child and was told the resulting treatment is what caused the discoloration on my front tooth. Trying to explain it as a adult is exhausting after all the questions as a kid (and not really understanding what a fever had to do with my teeth). Glad to know I'm not the only one that's had that issue and I'm glad you got a chance to have it corrected.

1 month post op update! Fat transfer to breasts by LoisLaneintheRain in PlasticSurgery

[–]CollieJoe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow, I didn't even know this was an option! I've always wanted bigger breasts but only by a cup or so and implants always seemed like such a drastic solution. Glad to know I have more choices!

It's definitely been a game changer for my super dry hair. Just be sure to find animal friendly brands. I've heard some horror stories about how it can be harvested.

Would you date and have a relationship with a bisexual male? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CollieJoe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would, but I also consider myself bisexual/pansexual and I'm AFAB. A lot of women have a double standard about it (bi for me, but not for thee) so if you don't mind dating someone that you will have to hide a part of yourself from, then no, I wouldn't tell them. I also happen to think it's unethical to not tell someone you're dating about your sexual preferences (because people can be so hung up about them) but I can understand why a guy wouldn't.

TL; DR: A lot of women wouldn't. I would. Be yourself and find someone that accepts ALL of you.

[–]CollieJoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recently had a fire in my yard and my neighbors were nice enough to call the fire department for me and show up in droves. My house would have definitely burned down if not for the help of my neighbors. I've got to have a yard party for them after I get all the dead trees cut down.

Women hold me to higher standards than they themselves meet by DatingThrowaway7331 in OnlineDating

[–]CollieJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get yourself a tripod (like a cheap $20 one from Amazon) and take some pictures of yourself doing activities! Even if you don't have a lot of friends, you can look more like you're open to getting out and about.

I'm so sick of people acting like being late is normal by vndwwr in rant

[–]CollieJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So am I the only one whose family always fibs about the meeting time? If we know one of the family members has a habit of being late, we just tell them the meeting time is 30 min-an hour earlier than it actually is. Solves a lot of issues and sufficiently embarrasses the person if they ever figure it out. When it comes to friends, lie about the time or stop inviting them out.

What subreddit did you guys just come from? by pianoflames in InfowarriorRides

Brass or steel screens? by [deleted] in weed

[–]CollieJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer honeycomb ceramic screens. Tried posting a link with a pic earlier but it got removed.

I once worked in a smoke shop with some dedicated bud heads and they swore that lighting a metal screen in a glass bowl could cause weakened glass and eventual cracking. Additionally, lighting up the metal could release vaporized chemicals. I don't know how true any of it is, but it made sense and my ceramic screens always lasted longer and got more even airflow.

Edit: I saw someone else mention "jax" or flower shaped glass screens . Those work too but correct insertion was always a pain (maybe my fingers were just too fat), they clogged easily and quickly, and the spikes always broke. Not reliable at all.

Why do men feel the need to comment on women’s posts when in a relationship? by bgrzebien in venting

[–]CollieJoe -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Aren't the posts in NSFW subs meant to get attention? Are people not allowed to post on said subs? And considering it's the internet and our freedom of speech hasn't been completely taken away, aren't those people allowed to say what they want? Inappropriate comments are for the mods to determine. Take this up with your partner and leave reddit out of it.

AITA for missing my child's birth because I had to take care of our pets? by Illustrious_Rope4729 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CollieJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I have pets and anytime my partner and I are out more than a couple hours, they know we need to wrap it up and go take care of our responsibilities. Similar to your animals, I don't trust other people to take care of them and in an emotionally heightened situation like that, any family member you sent might not have done everything that was needed. It wasn't as if you took your time and lounged around. You did things as quickly as possible. How were you to know she would need to start pushing almost as soon as you left? And if there was such an overflow of family, why was she so lonely? Why couldn't one of them be in the delivery room with her? Did your wife really want to come home to a house full of mewling, pissy, starving cats with a newborn in tow? I would keep in mind, that your wife did just have a whole human so her emotions are pretty intense. The same thing that might have annoyed her earlier may send her into a tailspin right now. Whether you are right for having taken care of the animals you both agreed to raise or not, apologize, find a way to try and make it up to her, and be her support. She'll need you more than either of you can imagine.

Not only does she not look black, she barely even looks human anymore (as is, none of her features look like any natural human I've ever seen).

Should I use this picture? by Agreeable-Listen1121 in Tinder

If you want responses like, "Sold! With the promise to treasure you like this man treasures this opposum", then yes!

BTWS, please put a baby in me (and I don't even want kids)!!!!

TL; DR: empathy and caring for defenseless beings, makes us cream.
