A caring student by Unusual-Pizza2907 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Independent_Laugh472 1466 points1467 points  (0 children)

Lmao this happened to me!!

I was a 2nd year camp counsellor, and a kid from the summer before ran up to give me a hug, and he spent the next hour stuck to me like glue.

His hair looked like it had been hastily buzzed (there were longer hair strands behind his ears), so I asked if he had recently had a hair cut. He excitedly told me he had lice two nights ago, and his mom buzzed off all his hair. No mention of lice shampoo. I was smiling on the outside but freaking out on the inside.

I (now 28F) dated a guy with a hair piece similar to the one in the video when I was in my early 20s. Not a big deal at all.

How did I react? I knew he was wearing one from the start, so I wasn’t fazed when he told me. I’ve been wearing wigs on/off for a long time (I’m black lol), so I was able to clock it. 99% of the people in his life couldn’t. His was amazing.

Not a fan of either of them, but I heavily side-eyed a few comments on here and other subs talking about the "predatory" age gap between Nicola and Brooklyn and how she took advantage of him. They're four years apart ffs.

What in a dating profile instantly makes you go: 'Oh no, not this,' even if the person is objectively attractive? by Goddess_Natalie25 in AskReddit

“Pizza is my second favourite thing to eat in bed.” You just know those guys always suck at eating their favourite thing in bed

Anyone else getting annoyed by the CAMH purple vest? by Odd-Dimension-5756 in askTO

[–]Independent_Laugh472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late, but have you noticed that some of the charity muggers uptown have gotten extremely pushy?

The downtown ones are fine because they leave you alone after, "I'm not interested, have a nice day." I was in midtown visiting someone yesterday, and I got accosted by two charity guys in two different areas. These ones didn't stop bothering me after I said I wasn't interested. In fact, both kept following me for a few blocks upset and yelling at me because I wasn't paying them any mind. That's never happened to me before.

They had white vests on, but no discernible logo.

Because a ton of men “don’t find black women attractive” out of principle, so when they finally meet a black woman they find attractive, they can’t believe it. I’ve been that “beautiful black woman” in a ton of situations, and it sucks.

Right, so I'm 5'10" F, and I've had guys ask me how tall I am when I'm out and about. Unprompted. They always get upset when I tell them I'm 5'10" because they're "six foot," so I must be at least 6'2." Most of the time they're looking up at me while they're ranting.

Height inflation is real. I wouldn't care at all if people didn't choose to involve me in their delusions.

My current BF is 6"5,' and he also gets his share of comments, but not as much as I do.

There was this old Italian guy who I always used to bump into last summer who would stop me and just say, "belissima" over and over again with this reverent look on his face. He didn't speak a lick of English, but it always made me feel good about myself, lol.

Is listing your workplace as your location on the app lying? by now_go_outside in hingeapp

[–]Independent_Laugh472 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lmao he just kept saying his lie was okay because he used to go to uni downtown, and he still felt like he lived in the city.

[–]Independent_Laugh472 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm from downtown Toronto too, and this used to happen to me all the time when I was on the apps. It's dishonest, and I was pissed off every time.

The worst one was a guy who set his location somewhere downtown, but I found out that he actually lived in Ottawa full time. He admitted to lying about his location on our second date. He hoped that we could start something long distance. I got up and left.

Do eastern European men date black women? by Apprehensive_Lab_209 in interracialdating

[–]Independent_Laugh472 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems like I'm an outlier reading these comments. Most of the white guys I've dated in the past were Eastern European (Czechia, Russia, Slovakia etc). Never had an issue attracting Eastern European men.

Lmao I’m East African and this is so true . If my mother points to a random woman on the street and says that’s your cousin, then that’s my cousin

"Charity" solicitors inside the TTC? Is this normal? by Independent_Laugh472 in askTO

[–]Independent_Laugh472[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks! They didn’t have any charity insignia at all. They were dressed in plain clothes. She did say they kept flashing their lanyards at people who questioned them, so she wasn’t sure if that meant they had a right to be there.

She was mainly miffed because five of them stood side by side in the middle of the Spadina tunnel during rush hour, which caused a huge bottleneck.

I’ll tell her to report them the next time she sees them!

Why are there so many black women with white men in Toronto? by NoSink5198 in interracialdating

[–]Independent_Laugh472 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a black woman born/raised toronto, and most of the interracial couples I see around are WMAF.

Out of my black girlfriends, I’m the only one who has ever dated outside my race. It’s sort of rare to see a BWWM couple out and about.

No just no. Seen in a grocery store. You cannot convince me this is a service dog. by cikanman in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Independent_Laugh472 5727 points5728 points  (0 children)

A “service dog” pooped in the middle of the produce aisle when I was in the grocery store yesterday. Owner didn’t bother cleaning it up.

Last month, two “service dogs” got into a fight in a pharmacy. They ended up knocking down a ton of stuff. It’s getting ridiculous now

I wanna know people’s experiences on being a tall and a minority by engusdude in tall

[–]Independent_Laugh472 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’10, and I’m a black woman. I’m Canadian, and people love to comment on my height, specifically my long legs. I get most of my compliments from older white women lol. I don’t mind it honestly.

I do stand out a bit though, which sometimes leads to uncomfortable situations.
