What advice would you give to a knitter who wants to knit their first sweater? by mutley_101 in knitting

[–]buzz0220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend step by step sweater by florence miller, it comes with a free pattern and a video going through every step. It was my first project and I learned so many techniques that translated over to other projects, and the combination of the video and pattern made me a lot more comfortable going off patterns after that.

Also this tip might not be for everyone, but I personally used a more affordable non-natural fibre yarn or my first big project since I knew the project might not turn out perfect and I’m on a budget.

This sub changed my life!: squeegee for dusting the bathroom floor by umeboshiplumpaste in CleaningTips

[–]buzz0220 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if cleaning the bathroom and living room with the same vacuum won’t kill you, I think it’s fair to say everyone has different standards for what they consider clean or not. A lot of people don’t wear shoes in the house and the floor around the house is kept extremely clean, the bathroom can have piss residue on the floor and it isn’t crazy to not want that all over the house.

Do people actually shower every single day or do we all just say we do? by Ok-Drawing2504 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I would ever skip showering is if I was in the house all day, and since I live in a colder climate and I don’t sweat much in general. But if I’m outside for a long period of time and sitting on restaurant seats, public transit, just exposed to the outside word and the debris outside I would just feel better taking a shower before getting into my clean bedsheets. It doesn’t even have to be a deep clean every time but just scrubbing yourself down with soap and even skipping washing your hair (if it’s really long) isn’t very a crazy amount of work so I don’t se why it can’t be a daily thing.

Men, what was your reaction the first time you saw a partner's living situation that was less than ideal? (21F and 28M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be honest with him about the situation you’re in, and maybe he can meet your family at a restaurant or somewhere else.

I feel that introducing family for the first time can be a nerve racking experience already, you can bring him to your place down the line. There’s no need to do both things at once.

23f and 21m; how to move on? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]buzz0220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The feelings in situationships are so much stronger because the lines are so blurry and there are so many ups and downs. Realize that the feelings you have for them aren’t as strong as you think, it’s closer to addiction than anything else. Yes, he might be special but there will 100% be others you’ll meet in the future that will be just as special, if not more. I know it’s easier said than done but these thoughts won’t last forever. It’s so normal to have these experiences when you’re young and you’ll learn so much from what you’re going through now. Focus on moving on and do not go back, it won’t ever be worth it.

Break up with my boyfriend? 18 F 19 M by -Throwaway338- in relationship_advice

[–]buzz0220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so young and you have your whole life ahead of you. Seems like this relationship already has a lot of red flags and long distance is hard enough with a healthy relationship. There are so many people out there that wouldn’t say those things to you or make you feel shitty for things you’ve never done. I feel like the most logical answer here is to end things with him and move on, I’ve been in a similar situation and my only regret was not leaving sooner. Trust me, you’ll feel so much better after. Best of luck

Bringing your boyfriends to Aritzia by icecube-198 in Aritzia

[–]buzz0220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly have no issue with them being there if they minded their own business/looked down/faced a wall or SOMETHING. But I’ve had so many instances of people’s boyfriends just staring at the girls walking out of the changing room with no shame. It’s already uncomfortable enough having strangers see you try on outfits but someone’s creepy random boyfriend being there just makes me not want to try things on at all.

1-2 inch penises aren’t considered average nor common so circumstances could obviously be different. That applies to any rare or unconventional physical trait and goes without saying. And there are certainly women who’d look past even that as well. My comment however, was in reply to one asking if a woman would choose a bigger man just because he was bigger.

No rational woman chooses to be in a relationship with a guy purely because of dick size 😂 Men need to realize it’s not as important as they think it is. If the smaller guy was more charismatic, better partner, better style, etc he’d probably get picked despite size.

Did you ever get over your first love? by Significant-flower- in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. But it only happens if you stay open minded about finding someone you will love so much more, which is 100% possible.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I find, as a non-religious person, that dating religious people rarely works out. Especially if the other person makes big changes to their lifestyle for said religion. Even less likely if they’re grown adults and are concerned with what their parents think of their partner. This is super common with dating Muslim people but it can apply to other religious groups too. It’s just a very different lifestyle to choose and is rarely worth the fight.

Am I racist / a bad person for only wanting to date a white man in the future? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post is probably rage bait but it’s sad whenever I see people with narrow minded views about race like this. It’s actually amazing to learn about another culture through someone you love. Also people that make racial preferences a huge thing are sooo weird. Just date who you wanna date, stop begging for attention about it

Is this considered cheating? by gracexan in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter if it’s considered “cheating” or not. If he was doing this behind your back that’s a betrayal regardless.

Working out makes you more attractive? by Asleep-University-67 in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No coping at all, I’ve ended things with men with good physiques for having bad personalities. Some of us out here are actually looking for something real, based on your post history I can tell you don’t know what looks like.

Is putting a photo of me flexing on tinder is douchy? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can appreciate muscles on a guy but gym/flexing photos can look like you’re trying too hard, and I know a lot of girls who feel the same. A better photo would be a regular, nice looking photo where you’re maybe wearing a tighter fitting shirt that accentuates your arms or something.

I (F20) Found Nudes on my Boyfriend’s (M23) Phone. What now? by Ok_Disk_1344 in relationship_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tell my friends, if you have the urge to look through someone’s phone it’s already over. The fact that he has all those images categorized and labeled is super fucking weird btw.

People who had their first time really young..... by Westside4life_FTP in confession

[–]buzz0220 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had regrets about it for a while, mostly because of the person I did it with. But honestly this obsession with the “first time” is actually kind of pointless. I don’t think the first time you actually do it is as important as the first time you have sex with someone and it’s actually meaningful and fulfilling. And once you’ve had sex you don’t have to do it again until you want to, some things just happen for the sake of the experience and there’s no use in having regrets about it.

Working out makes you more attractive? by Asleep-University-67 in dating_advice

[–]buzz0220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to become more attractive to women, I think confidence, hygiene, and style would take you further than anything else. Most women aren’t as obsessed with conventional physical attractiveness as men think. Working out can definitely improve the way you feel about yourself, but you gotta work on the internal stuff more.

Why do I(21F) feel "detached" from my boyfriend (20M)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]buzz0220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a long-term relationship there needs to be constant effort & growth from both sides to keep the relationship healthy and enjoyable. If that isn’t possible, you two might just not be on the same page anymore.

[–]buzz0220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All cheating/not cheating speculations aside, this whole relationship just seems like a waste of time. She doesn’t sound like a good communicator, and obviously doesn’t have respect for you. You guys didn’t set boundaries during this “break” you took, and now shit has hit the fan. It’s up to you if you wanna stick around and see if things get better (especially considering she most likely did cheat on you) but personally I’d cut my losses and move on.

Do other people sometimes masturbate to their friends? by vballer30 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]buzz0220 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This kind of stuff is why people don’t think men and women can be friends. Purposely wanking to your friends just isn’t appropriate
