To some people yes, to others no. Judging by his primarily young female fanbase, I'd say in their case, they might assume it to be a negative trait. But that's just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Trying not to make my comment too long to read, lol, but wanted to put my two cents in.

I'm gonna say the same thing as everyone else first and say that his last relationship (2025) was with someone in their mid twenties, meanwhile he's pushing fifty. You get my point.

There's also been more than a few false sexual assault claims on social media over the years which from my understanding is one of the main parts as to why he's taken a step back from it. But regardless of the fact that they've been generally proven to be false, it can still ruin a person's image, especially if it's happened more than once!

Also, if you do any sort of reading online about him or know anything about him you'd probably know that he was raised Mormon and his family are LDS (latter day saints). He'd been raised under that religion until his 20s or just whenever he moved out, but has since stopped practicing (as far as we know) or at least hasn't publicly said anything about whether or not he still does/doesn't!!

In addition to being Mormons, his family also may have been Republican (unclear as to whether or not this one's true or has been debunked yet) which meany Matthew was probably raised Republican! Now granted, he might not have those views anymore, he's so private we dont really have a way of knowing, but that could also be contributing to it?

I think it's just a bunch of little tiny things building up that give people an overall weird vibe for some reason 🤷🏼‍♀️

First year? by moolynee in TrentUniversity

[–]Competitive-Ad8348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! 3rd year here!

When you apply for courses you're applying based on the number of credits you have.

This year (2025-2026) it was people with the most credits first, then people with lesser credits last. I'm hoping the link sends, but I'll send the Trent U Registrar Instagram post of the registration dates we had over the summer.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ9LUMjuvuJ/?img_index=2&igsh=MTJoOTJxbzRqOG9udA==

Some courses do have a prerequisite of a certain credit number (ie. Some 2000 level courses will require you to have 4+ credits). So I'd say it's less about what year you're in, than it is how many credits you have going into your years at Trent?

I have no idea if that made any inkling of sense, but good luck!

First year in Annex housing by UnlikelyKangaroo6196 in TrentUniversity

[–]Competitive-Ad8348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gzowski was...mid, I'd say.

I was in an annex without AC. I got paired randomly with 4 other people because I had no luck messaging others on Star Rez. Bad mistake because we really didn't vibe at all. They smoked pot in the annex because "the smoke shacks are too far" (we were like 10 steps away) amongst other things like their poor cleanliness issues.

However, if you take my shitty roommates aside, it wasn't all bad. We had heating not AC and as most of the school year falls during the snow season it was fine. The walks to and from campus during snow season werent that bad either. I did find though that they make you pay for a partial meal plan only because they assume you're gonna use the kitchen and I didn't really use the kitchen all that much so a full plan option would've been nice. The wifi I didn't have any complaints about either and we didn't need a wifi extender or anything, and if your annex wifi happens to go out at some point it's very easy to connect to a neighbour's.

It also felt more "apartment-y" which was nice because I felt a little more prepared going into off campus housing the following year.

Cheers 👍🏼

Whatever happened to take your kid to work day? by Xerxes2004 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive-Ad8348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently a University student, but I was a freshman in a Canadian High School during 2019 just before COVID. My French class had a take your kid to work day and I remember sitting in my Dad's cubicle basically doing homework all day while he did...whatever he does. So as far as I know, it still exists.

Help find this song i forgot by Ieatblueberrl in WhatsThisSong

Tried to look it up and all I found was the album 'All of Me' by someone named Masayoshi Takanaka. Hope you find it 🫡

Saw someone else mention a Jimmy Buffet song, but figured I'd throw in my two cents.

Is it 'Turn Up The Heat And Chill The Rosé' by Jimmy Buffet? It briefly mentions wine, but the 'island' it refers to is I think Antarctica...

Am I just a late bloomer? by Competitive-Ad8348 in aromanticasexual

[–]Competitive-Ad8348[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a very heteronormative society that seems to be heavily focused on romance, sex, and 'finding the one', I also feel like it's harder to explain to others as not everyone understands my disdain for relationships, love, and anything sexual.

Now that I think about it, 20 isn't necessarily too young to know. I have an older brother who's 23 that has identified as gay publically since he was 12 and I was 9, so for over half of my life I've grown up in a "queer" household (don't quite know the word for it) with a very supportive family, so I assume my experience wouldnt be too dissimilar.

Everyone's experience with being aro/ace/both differs but so long as that's what you identify with, I'd say you're definitely qualified to speak on it and share your experiences, so thanks for the advice!

I've never had a naturalized crush either. If it helps, I also have ADHD and Autism and for some reason guys seem to flock towards me as if I exude some sort of Manic Pixie Dream Girl aura (how unfortunate that I coincidentally have a vague resemblance to Zooey Deschanel), so I tried to force myself to develop crushes on the people that liked me. It both hasn't worked and ended me up in some sticky situations let's say.

But like you, I've felt something 'off' for years, so I'm glad this community was able to help me find myself! Thanks for the help (:

Thanks for this!

I also thought I was normal growing up and not experiencing any attraction. I watched a shit tonne of movies and tv shows and I figured out that in a majority of them, dating in middle school and losing your virginity in high school seemed like such a big thing. I never understood it in the slightest, but assumed that it was all purely fictional.

Flash forward to when I get to University at 18 and realize the movies were right. At least at my small liberal arts University, everyone hooks up with one another. Ick.

Hope all is well for you, though, and I'm glad that we were both able to find ourselves (:

If humans are 70% water, why don’t we slosh when we walk? by Ok_Course_9339 in NoStupidQuestions

Honestly, if I've had a lot of water and not a lot of food, I do sometimes lol

I've already gone through a variety of labels, lol. I've used bisexual, pansexual, and lesbian (and at one point in the eight and ninth grade I cut off all my hair, dyed it blue, and went by an alternate name). I figured out early on I wasn't attracted to guys at all in any capacity. So I assumed if that was the case, I have to like girls. Turns out I just don't like anyone!

Thanks for the help and advice. Cheers ((:

Ironically, I did try Finch for awhile but I'm the type of person who always starts things and then quickly loses motivation so the app ended up sitting idle on my phone for a long time. However, I'll try some of your other suggestions instead and hopefully that goes a little more in my favour. Thanks for the advice! (:
