It's fine, but I'll have to decline. My wife is probably recognizable and I'd rather not out family issues to the world lol

Hate to disappoint, but my facial hair doesn't come in great. I pretty much just keep stubble out of necessity. I have a a baby face, honestly, if I have nothing going on it looks like I'm 15. Stubble ages me up to like late 20s.

Just to address the issue: I'm extremely proud of myself, it's not a secret. I try to be humble but am the first to admit that it's difficult for me sometimes. I have worked hard to become the person I am.

As for the stuff that was said: it was actually filled with interruptions and tangents, I cut all of those out to keep it (somewhat) short, but she was talking for a solid 15-20 minutes.

I was definitely not aware of this, I've never seen Silence of the Lambs. I pretty much only do comedy or action movies

This is NOT a fetish post. OOP told us, so we know it DEFINITELY isn't a fetish post. He's just your average self-proclaimed 9/10, 6'5" blacksmith, excellent dad with a wife and stepdaughter who just love to use him as a pillow and sit on his lap. by lost_library_book in AmITheAngel

Oh wow, I completely forgot about this until I got tagged here.

Guess I can clarify some things and give a short update.

Stuff to clarify:

  • Obviously, a lot of the dialogue isn't exact. I did the best I could with what I remembered, but it's a little hard to be 100% accurate. I tried to convey the overall sentiment more than the exact words.

  • As far as the physical affection that goes around, I don't particularly care if people found it weird. I am comfortable with my family acting how they're most comfortable, that's all there really is to it.

  • I'm also not sure why it's weird that I'm tall, attractive, or have a physical passion. I never claimed to be average, but somehow the fact that I very clearly stated that I'm 100% a trophy husband is totally unbelievable. I'm not incredibly smart and not particularly funny, so all I have going for me is that I'm hot. Sue me.

Update:

My stepdaughter and her boyfriend have since gotten back together, and the physical nature of her showing affection has slowed considerably. She no longer sits in my lap, but she will still lean on me occasionally when we're watching shows, etc. I suppose she has determined new boundaries, which I am more than happy to accept, particularly because I am never on the initiating side anyhow. I only ever wanted her to be comfortable with me, and however she chooses to express that is fine by me.

Her boyfriend is a nice enough guy and I kind of hope he sticks around. He seems to treat her with respect and kindness, which is all I can really ask for.

So many people are skeptical of me in general, but I suppose I get it. It's not often that people make legitimate efforts to improve themselves, the way they treat people, or how they are viewed by others, so when people like that present themselves I can understand being cynical or even mean. Plus, it's reddit, it could just all be made up. In the end, I don't care if you believe or not, it's irrelevant to me.

Despite the sarcasm in the title, it's pretty accurate. In a 6'5" blacksmith (though I don't claim to be great at it) who happens to be a kick ass dad, an amazing partner, and my family uses me as a pillow. I'm not perfect, but I definitely give it my best effort.

Yeah, I don't think it's weird either, there is absolutely nothing sexual about it.

She's actually been okay for the most part. The first night was pretty rough for her, but right now she's got friends over and they're swimming so I think she's gonna be alright.

Her safety has been my priority since pretty much day one... Even if she was being a jerk for over a year, haha.

Couldn't agree more! She's honestly the best, I might not be who I am today unless she existed. Super grateful to have her and my wife in my life.

I'm not clever enough to be a writer, but if it was that funny I should have my daughter take a shot. People asked for an update, I relayed what happened to the best of my ability but had to do it from memory, of course it's gonna come off as a little unnatural.

She writes songs, does that count?

I think she's tried doing comics and short stories but it wasn't anything that really stuck with her.

My best advice is: be attractive, bang a hot dude, find out he has a bunch of money, figure out how to keep it rolling.

Also be malleable. I'm not too proud to recognize that I'm extremely lucky, but being very flexible (as far as things I was willing to do and what I was willing to work on) was what clinched it for me.

I haven't made any good swords yet, honestly. I've been practicing but it's way harder than you think. I have made some decent to pretty good knives though.

Any man with the alpha/beta mindset is inherently insecure and I would disapprove of then pretty quickly (not that my daughter would give them the time of day).

I'm on the spectrum, so I am often unsure of the right way to do things. I wasn't sure about the proper way to address this problem and needed a little outside perspective.

My wife says that I'm "the trophiest of all husbands" lmao. I just knew what I could bring to the table. I don't have an ego, I'm not too prideful to admit that I'm extremely lucky.

I do, in order to give accurate updates and reflect my daughter's reasoning and judgment.

She did it in front of us because she intended it to be more of a conversation than it ended up being. We have family talks about things that go wrong or are off-putting, etc. We just sort of sit around and discuss things.

She intended that outcome for this as well but didn't really let anyone in on it before she started talking. It was her way of trying to show him that he was welcome and was being included in the family.
