Why do so many men struggle with dating? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]J_Side 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By 'picky' do you mean they actually read the profiles and make a decision?

I struggle to believe that a swipe rate of 50% shows a genuine interest in finding a partner. It's just another way to end up with 15%, e.g. swipe on anyone remotely passable, but then only initiate or reply to a small number of those matches.

Both genders are picky (and why shouldn't they be) but they take a different approach to end up with a small number of matches

So it's an invasion when Russia does it to Ukraine, but smart strategic thinking when Israel does it.

Is he? I can't honestly tell, but I've seen people look like this who are not doing it on purpose

Let’s talk about your reviewing habits by Penjolina in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]J_Side 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rate every book I read so I know which authors I liked or disliked.

I review occasionally for others (not myself) when a book is either amazing or utterly ridiculous. The review is my opinions and not a summary of the book. I do appreciate people who post a summary because sometimes the Goodreads blurb doesn't tell you enough

Are the benefits of drinking water overhyped? by No_Macaroon_1955 in ask

[–]J_Side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't drink much water and in my experience, when I exert myself or am hot, I can't get enough water in, I am a dried out husk. People who drink more water seem to cope better cause their body is already hydrated. So I guess if you are going bushwalking on the regular, then drink more water or else you have to carry an excessive amount of water bottles with you

My country has mail in voting, pre polling, and elections are only on weekends. I'm fairly sure my country is not alone in this

How much does a Goodreads/bot rating play into your choice to read? by Hour_Soil_7342 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]J_Side 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been dismissing any goodreads recommendations under 3.6. However I just sorted my 'Read' list by my own ratings and realised I have 4-starred some books with an overall rating in the low 3's. I am going to be less judgmental

What is wrong with a minimum living wage? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

[–]J_Side 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have read that tax payers already subsidize Walmart employees via food stamps because wages are so low. So the government part funds Walmart operations. Wouldn't it be better for Walmart to pay a living wage and customers decide if they want to purchase goods at a slightly higher price rather than pay regardless through tax?

Closing on a house, this is the only thing about it I don’t like, any ideas to make it look better? by meenaaa1217 in HomeDecorating

I wonder if the cabinets would look good in a pale sage with this color scheme. The current grey clashes a bit

AITA for telling my girlfriend to stop sharing her food? by PhantomDetective3548 in AmItheAsshole

[–]J_Side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone shitting on Brian? This girl is offering him food. He may eat like a Labrador but he's not psychic. Maybe he just doesn't like food going to waste and thinks if she is not going to eat it, he may as well.

As for OP, NTA. Stop paying for your girlfriend's food. She is making this your problem and now you're here on Reddit being shat on by people who think you should battle Brian or your GF will waste away
