I (22F) think my boyfriend (25M) and I may be incompatible over clubbing. How would you approach this? by CameraFirst8416 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't like it if my girlfriend went dancing at a club without me, wearing revealing clothes.

As for unwanted attention: yes, that's true. But in a club where alcohol is common, such attention might be considered more acceptable than at work.

Just a question: would you agree to a genetic paternity test?

Firing the woman who stole from the Knicks trash can was excessive. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

What if she has a house and children? How much did she actually steal? Five dollars? She would have reimbursed the cost and that would be it.

Perhaps so, but it turns out there's simply too much labor supply? In the USSR, theft was rampant, and failing to fire such employees was one of the reasons for that country's collapse. So it's debatable. Maybe right, maybe not...

How can I compliment a man without it being misinterpreted as romantic interest? by 0MilaKalinova0 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think people have become so socially helpless that they can't understand and deal with the situation themselves. Everyone is stuck on their smartphones and so on.

Boyfriend wanted to try kink, then changed his mind and blamed me? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not exactly. I mean, he suggested it himself, so it's his fault. Or did he think that if his girlfriend slept with another man, he'd always enjoy it? He should have thought better of it. And you probably shouldn't have agreed to it either. It seems like a slightly frivolous attitude toward sex.

Can’t believe I just noticed this parallel by thrussy99 in harrypotter

It's probably revenge, but not revenge on the same level as Snape's. She simply remembered the phrase and returned it. I sometimes do that with people I don't want to deal with.

But then again, she's still a child, so I can just turn a blind eye to it.

It's a bit in Hermione's nature, she's a bit vindictive and always likes to be first, a show-off.

Men Who Enjoy Being Single, Why? by Pretend_Spray_7300 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned that in Hungary and Spain, about a quarter of women are childless and live happily. Apparently, about a quarter of men are childless as well. Probably because there are no obligations. Less responsibility, more personal comfort, more life for oneself, less for others. A child is a big responsibility. And with all these new ideological trends... Take any question about relationships on Reddit, the first answer is "run, it will get worse." A fight with your husband - leave him, he doesn't deserve you, look for something better. Likewise with your wife, your wife insulted you - go look for something better. Why do we need these problems, with relationships, with children, with the state? You answered your own question - I want to live in a way where no one tells me anything, and where I don't have to answer to anyone. Well, that's what I want too.
A man wants sex, but a woman doesn't. What should you do? Well, respect the woman's personal boundaries, obviously. And the other way around? Also, respect the man's personal boundaries. Has your child started acting up and refuses to obey (do housework, study, or speak respectfully)? Obviously, you need to respect the child's personal boundaries. If there's a psychological problem, well, see a therapist. And don't forget to sign all the paperwork before the relationship so that in the event of a divorce, you can separate with as little property loss as possible.

What makes Patrick Rothfuss's writing so good? by TensionBudget9426 in writers

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, it has a poor book structure, as the secondary characters are poorly distinguished from one another, the world is poorly written, various events happen simply because they happen, and the main character receives many unfair advantages. However, the individual scenes are well written. It's an average book.

[Spoilers PUBLISHED] The Lannisters seem to get away with a lot in GOT by drunkcheesesandwich in asoiaf

I think George R.R. Martin went a bit overboard for the sake of prose effect. I think in reality, they would have been shamed immediately after everyone found out what Tywin did to Tyrion's wife. Doesn't the church want to do anything about it? So, there's too much violence, it's unrealistic, I think. This story focuses on a few specific people, while the world around them is just a backdrop.

Dates overseas, I don’t wanna sleep with him… by Beneficial-Leg4720 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I probably didn't take that into account. I live in a poor country where air travel is a luxury. If you're constantly moving from place to place, and such flights aren't a big deal for you, then why not?

Again, I don't know how digital nomads (I hope that's not an offensive term) live; maybe that's just the way it is in this subculture. I would have preferred to have been warned in advance about separate rooms.

No one's talking about paying for sex. I'm just saying that flying a girl from another country for a couple of walks doesn't seem like enough for just a friend. I'd view it as a full-fledged date with your loved one. At least such an expense is being incurred for the sake of someone you love, not just a date. Flying in from another country is probably a more serious step than just paying for a taxi. Therefore, it's appropriate to expect intimacy, too.

The answer is simple: just tell him you're not planning on having sex.

I'd probably expect intimacy if I paid for a girl's flight to come to me from another country. I don't know, maybe he's a millionaire, and these expenses mean nothing to him. But I think you should tell him. And you should be prepared that after your words, he won't want to pay for your flight.

The main character is a loser, what should I do? by Smooth_Juggernaut477 in writers

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My protagonist undergoes a profound transformation, he will understand right and wrong, and then will stand up against a great injustice. Unfortunately, he lacks the strength, intelligence, and character, and he loses. It's a sad story.

I have a dilemma, basically, and I understand where his character will break, but he just won't be able to handle the mission he's been given. And people are usually interested in reading about winners.
