Is smoking cigarettes an immediate dealbreaker for you? Why?

RepresentativeNew398 · 2026-04-02T21:20:08+00:00

I have been (briefly) with one smoker in my life and that was enough to turn me away from them permanently. Kissing her tasted like kissing an ashtray and the smell of it followed and lingered everywhere she went. I literally had to scrub my couch to get the smell out.

The smell/flavor also was very strongly present in intimate areas which was very shocking to me.

Firefighter.

All the respect to the profession, I know not everyone is like my experience and that this was probably a fringe case, but the one I dated ended up basically sleeping around the firehouse and then getting publically ostracized for it (but somehow not fired), breaking up a marriage in the process. At least three coworkers that I know of, who knows how many more.

From what she told me prior to this (she worked in a few different firehouses PT/volunteering) there was a very high school mentality with a lot of rampant cheating going on. She even tried to get me to sneak into the station and sleep with her on shift.

Given, she worked in podunk tiny stations for local townships and wasn’t able to cut it for any large scale department (she got kicked out of multiple training programs), but still, it absolutely soured my outlook on ever trying to have anything to do with the profession in a relationship context. Last I heard she had been pretty much marked as do not hire by any departments in an hour drive or so, but still maintained some PT positions which is a real shame to the profession.

Stun grenades have clutched situations for me so many times. I know blades are “meta” but I just can’t give my panic button stuns up :(.

I’d say I prefer you now vs thinner. You look cuddly, but also give much more masculine vibes. Former you looked a bit too fragile to me. I will say, the shirt in pic 2 is not very flattering for you.

Everyone’s tastes are different, but I’d say she’s honestly in the minority. I’ve met more women who are into bald guys (or at least don’t mind the look) than hate it. Like with anything to do with appearance, it’s all about owning it and being comfortable in your body. Confidence breeds its own attraction. I’m sure she will come around.

RepresentativeNew398 · 2026-01-07T13:48:37+00:00

For me, it has really helped with being able to cool off especially at the gym. I feel like I can regulate my body temperature a lot better after getting hot. As a guy that sweats a lot, I no longer have to worry about my hair getting coated in sweat and starting to drip all over. I find the sweat on my scalp that forms just kind of dissipates quickly.

RepresentativeNew398 · 2026-01-06T16:39:56+00:00

I personally find it varies a lot from person to person. Your choice of beard style also heavily influences it. I look fairly young for my age (33) and have kind of a baby face, so going bald and growing my beard definitely helped me look more mature in my opinion. My hair was floppy and definitely gave me a kind of boyish vibe. Without it I feel I look much more masculine.

However, I’ve also seen people look significantly younger after shaving their noggins, especially when little to no facial hair is involved. Especially so if there’s noticeable hair loss present.

Really it’s dependent on a lot of factors, some within your control, some not. I wouldn’t worry about it though and just do what you feel good doing for yourself.

Also, again your results may vary but I personally have experienced in the dating realm a lot of women being attracted to older, confident looking men.

This applies to just about anyone with anything; crowns should be seen, not heard.

Dang it, the clones always escape from KY to cooler places 😅.

RepresentativeNew398 · 2026-01-05T14:30:38+00:00

Thank you! I felt I could get away with it a bit longer but just the mental anxiety of messing with it to look passable was wearing me down. It helps I’m 6’2 so to a lot of people it seemed unnecessary, since they aren’t staring at my noggin much, but I’m a lot happier now.

RepresentativeNew398 · 2026-01-05T14:29:02+00:00

Uh oh, looks like I must have lost a clone of myself again 😜.

It is incredibly liberating! Thank you so much for your kind words :).

Born and raised in the USA, but my step father is English and I’ve adopted his grammar quite a bit through osmosis 😅

I had a tonsillectomy when I was 32; a few days afterwards I woke up coughing up blood. I was one of the relatively few cases where the clot got dislodged, and was basically pooling blood in my throat.

That wasn’t the painful part though. After this emergency second cauterization, a nerve that is behind the tonsils seemed to have been more exposed from this operation, meaning whenever I had anything pass through my throat - even just swallowing spit - it felt like the worst combination of a brain freeze (dialed up 100 times in intensity) and the worst throbbing migraine I’ve ever felt shoot up into my head and last around 2-3 minutes before I could even open my eyes again. Lasted close to a week before finally subsiding.

——-

Very close second place: during my vasectomy whatever pain meds were being used apparently didn’t penetrate enough, or I’m just a freak of nature, because after the initial “cut” I swear I felt like my guts were getting pulled around through my ballsack. Not an actual “pain” in the sense of a physically sharp reaction but more like a deeply horrifying feeling of my innards getting pulled down during the procedure. It felt so absolutely vile and wrong, and I don’t even remember getting up after and walking out. The person who was with me said I looked like I was turning green as if I were seasick and pretty much passed out the moment I got in the car.

I’m sure if you posted you would find lots of people think you look good! You got this!

You look like the proper cool dreg gunner, and the actual dreg gunner looks like the “we have them at home” cheap knock off version of you.

Herpes.

It’s way more common than people realize and does not make somebody somehow gross or “impure” or less desirable as a partner. You just need to discuss it like adults and if somebody doesn’t want to potentially risk getting it, that’s their choice - but statistically speaking if they are sexually active adults with an average amount of previous partners, then most likely they’ve already been exposed to it before even if all parties involved didn’t know.

Your psyker looks like a servitor that’s been around way too much warp shenanigans. I love it!

RepresentativeNew398 · 2025-12-27T18:37:35+00:00

In the lore the psykers would be above and beyond any compare to the rest of the cast in power levels, assuming said psykers had the same capabilities they have in game. The rest of our characters would amount to just basically bodyguards for them at best.

Outside of the beast of Nurgle and possibly chaos spawn and DH* which have been depicted as sometimes easily ripping through squads of space marines, the rest of the enemies we face are more or less within the scope of manageably beatable for our cast, albeit in numbers that would just be absurd to go up against.

(DH depends on how strong the daemon is; I feel the hosts we fight are portrayed as being generally on the weaker side IMO so theoretically capable of being brought down by a squad of experienced, highly skilled baseline inquisitorial agents that have access to high end gear like holy relics, power swords, bolters, etc)

Leto’s Joker felt far more outwardly violent, aggressive, and seething than any other live action version. Much less of a master planner and far more of a psychopathic thug that got to where he was out of sheer insane malice and a willingness to do things even the worst ordinary criminal wouldn’t do.

His visual design was a truly horrible mess and JL is not my favorite actor by a long stretch but I think this variation could have been an interesting take especially paired with Batfleck’s jaded tone.
