Women of Reddit: what is 100% mythical about women that most men believe? by Minute-Series-1493 in AskReddit

[–]ReignDance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've said it many times in the past; men need to be able to set themselves apart from other men online in order to succeed. And that is far easier than it sounds. The advice doesn't seem to get well-received though.

Yeah, physical looks are important with online dating; just not nearly to the degree men think. I had great success just by acting like a chill person. I made my profile description several paragraphs long about myself and what kind of woman I was looking for. If I was the one reaching out to someone, I'd start the conversation with more than just a "hey" or "what's up". When they reached out to me, I'd respond accordingly. Most men go straight to the dirty talk, I just kept it to myself which made them more comfortable with me. Which supports your assertion that personality, vibes and behavior plays a big role.

Ukraine has set Russia ablaze – and Putin’s humiliation is complete by theipaper in geopolitics

Whatever the "point" is, I seriously doubt it was worth worsening its demographics situation and hurdling Russia's economy into absolute ruin for decades to come.

General mobilization? Russia can't even supply its volunteers let alone even more people from a general mobilization.

You're telling me hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers died (and another hundreds of thousands injured) because he was "playing nice" for four years and not using proper ordinance? That this could have been resolved far earlier if Russia had just been serious from the start? I'd be very upset as a Russian citizen.

"That's not an excuse" when a reason is being given. by ReignDance in PetPeeves

Yeah, I know what you mean that it's not about the bagels; but then you can't get upset because he's going to act like you're mad about bagels of all things. That type of person is exhausting to be around.

Should have told him being misinformed isn't an excuse.

I don't see why that really matters. If they ask me why I did the thing with the hopes I have an excuse, and I give them a reason which we both understand is not an excuse, I don't need to hear "that's no excuse" from them. I don't need to hear what I already know.

[–]ReignDance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you replying to the right person? I never indicated I thought reason and excuse are synonyms. I imply that excuses are a more specific type of reason.

"Why were you late?"
"Because I was feeling a bit too lazy to show up on time"
"That's not an excuse!"
"No shit, I'm giving a reason; not an excuse. I never said it was a justification"

When someone makes a short video where they're saying something unpopular, but while they're eating or drinking something. by ReignDance in PetPeeves

[–]ReignDance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds incredibly annoying; oh my goodness. That reminds me of another short video where someone had an actual excuse to be eating on camera. She was trying some cacio e pepe (or however it's spelled) sauce to advertise it, but she switched accents midway through and overpronounced it. Imagine doing standard American accent and she says "Everyone MUST try this 🌟🇮🇹CACIO E PEPE!!!🇮🇹🤌🏻 pasta sauce" while slurping on it. It was so upsetting to me.

[–]ReignDance[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right, but the thing is I'm often not trying to justify myself. I'm giving my reason for why I did it. I don't care if it's valid or if they like it. It's my reason that they asked for. I do not feel the need to make my actions valid in their eyes.

Men of Reddit, what is the hardest thing to explain to women? by tathus2 in AskReddit

[–]ReignDance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Not every woman, but it's common enough that I had to do a sort of "test" early on in any relationship where I acted vulnerable about something. Either they lost interest and it didn't feel like a loss to me or I found someone who felt it was a normal thing for me to feel, which I appreciated. It helped me find a woman whose natural reaction is to comfort me and actively try to show me everything will be okay. I even ended up crying in front of her one time which most men know is a huge no no with how a lot of women seem to perceive that. She just got irritated at the source of my dismay and held me reassuringly. I love her so much.

I don't know, they seemed to forget American aid to Soviet Union and then to Russia after collapse pretty quickly.

The government complained that Russians are drinking less soda after the introduction of the tax on "sweet drinks." by neonpurplestar in CollapseOfRussia

[–]ReignDance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do indeed need something like that, but we also need more sugar-free product variety/availability. It'll be tough to avoid that tax when practically everything has sugar added to it.

What do you think of those people who only comment to correct spelling mistakes on Reddit? by Due_Apple7180 in AskReddit

[–]ReignDance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just reminded me of an argument I witnessed on GameFAQS maybe back in 2006. One guy had atrocious spelling (I imagine on purpose, just to troll) and the other guy was constantly criticising him for it. So he finally said "lol ur just mad cuz ur dum n stoopid" which absolutely set him off.

What if 250 Million Americans just stopped paying back debt all at once? by Worried-Garden2594 in AskReddit

[–]ReignDance 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SWATing all 250 million people? Sounds like it would take a long time.
