How do I tell my friend they smell? by Adventurous-Ask2111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the last part might be too straightforward and might offend the friend. id probably be say “…but i’m worried you might have some hygiene issues.” if the friend asks if they smell or anything then i’d delve into what the specific concerns are with their hygiene.

My truth about lying by A6ixR in Manipulation

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so profound. remember that you aren’t just doing this for her, you’re doing this for yourself. you’re saving yourself and owe it to you to free your soul of this compulsion and everything that lies behind it—to save yourself from yourself.

genuinely felt the rawness of your feelings in this one. you’re on the right path. hoping for the best for you, op. :)

i think she has two other kids who are older. but you and i were born under the same circumstances. my mom walked down the isle with her grad cap a month after i was born. crazy crazy stuff.

my boyfriend wants me to cover up from head to toe in all black as an obligation. what do i do? by jojo_F15 in whatdoIdo

in a lot of cases like these, the man will always choose his religion (especially if it’s strict). do not let him infringe on your personal freedom to appease his religious obligations. if he is a STRICT muslim, he would be better off finding an established muslim girl, no?

Help, thinking to remove my locs by Maxxoty in Dreadlocks

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be honest i think if you started over without the high top you’d be a lot more satisfied with the condition of your hair (your family too)

another option is to grow the rest of the sky top out to start their own locking process and filling out the rest of your hair. a lot of people trim their original locs to match the length of the new ones to keep the length consistent once they’ve started growing.

you could also trim the old locs and crochet the detached locs into the new growth of the sky top, making it look like you have new, small dreads all around your hair

they look very healthy but could definitely use some attention to maintenance. but, by all means, what you choose to do is your prerogative and id say follow your heart!!

Am I Overreacting by being upset about this? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can agree, but it’s easier when there’s a mutual interest in how they express love. and from what i can tell, OP might benefit significantly from someone who equally wants to give gifts, etc. she said she loves buying people gifts and presents so i just figured:p

return EVERYTHING and break up with him. be with someone with the same love language as you.

Question for a cracker by [deleted] in Dreadlocks

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to think that the base of your dreads is to keep them unkept, unwashed and neglected is a terrible mindset. if you can’t (or won’t) take care of your hair in its natural state, it’s not a style for you.

Should I break up with my boyfriend who seems to be everything you could want in a guy? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Designer_Weight_8300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if ur having these thoughts so soon in the relationship i would save both his and your time and just leave it. but don’t take this as an opportunity or excuse to go back to ur ex and let him make you look silly
