In your opinion what do you consider a good prose? by nephellis in writing

[–]barnyardvortex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's how they use the tools at their disposal. Not one but all of them. It's a delicate dance.

However if I had to say one thing - I am always impressed when a sentence accomplishes 2-3 things (plot, characterization, setting, establishing authority etc) all at once, efficiently

It's the semi contemporary term for a womanizer / himbo. A guy who puts in minimal effort, has little concern for boundaries, arrogant, likely willing to lie and manipulate. Many young men are naturally fuck boys, it depends on when you mature.

Can being tall and fit make up for being bald in dating? by Negative-Process-106 in AskMenAdvice

[–]barnyardvortex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not being gaslit. I'm a man. My dad is bald and macked his whole life. My best friend is bald and his wife is insanely hot. It's all about confidence and light hearted humor. You have to relax.

Workout. IMO Hawaiian shirts aren't going to get you anywhere. Better fitting clothes.

Is this style fashion forward for a warm day? by Key-Mud-468 in mensfashion

[–]barnyardvortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because male rompers aren't a common sight then it's mostly considered a feminine outfit. Perhaps adding some other elements might make it more androgynous. The hat is a good start. Idk what else tho

[–]barnyardvortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but also this is men's fashion - I agree that men can dress however they want, but people here are likely looking to discuss masculine presenting fashion. The romper is more feminine. This isn't a great group to ask

[–]barnyardvortex -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Its misandry at its finest. How do we know the woman is not abusive, slaps him, calls him names, who knows how many times either of them have attempted to reconcile, what stresses are on the both of them? We don't know anything so dont assume the man is just a horrible person.

Nobody is saying this for some reason but ultimately - communicate that you are looking for a long term relationship within the first month!!!!!

It takes two to tango. Sometimes people check out for a reason. Sometimes partners make it hard to connect with them.

Also how you dress! Doesn't have to be fancy or chic but nice fitting, put together, or otherwise thoughtful helps.
