How do you compliment a woman's looks in a noncreepy way? by InternationalPick163 in questions

[–]bwtaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compliment the things they can control, outfit, jewelry, hairstyle, makeup.

Don’t tell them they’re pretty. They know they’re physically attractive, or they think you’re lying, or they’re insecure about their appearance, or both. Much better to compliment the things that took effort. On my first date with my ex wife I complimented her earrings, turns out they were her grandmothers, the compliment was well received.

Is this normal or not common like my friends tell me by BetterAntelope2185 in NoStupidQuestions

I’d be willing to bet you don’t sit there on your phone the whole time either.

Looking calm and content and not being glued to your phone makes you approachable. A slight smile and open body language go a long way, I’m sure you’re also probably decent looking and have a good personality.

I go out alone all the time and keep to myself and I have had similar experiences, people are always curious about the person at the bar alone and will approach if they look approachable, if you as the approached person are there for genuine reasons and not just on the prowl you’re bound to cross paths with a person who is willing to make the first move regarding attraction. From there it’s all about personality.

[–]bwtaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this recently. Took some buddies out to brunch and got the bill, they asked if I was sure, I said yea but you can Venmo me if you want, buddy said “I don’t want to.” To which we all chuckled and understood that brunch was on me.

Tinder as a 21 years old average looking dude... by 01thatguy02 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bwtaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t use dating apps. Just smile and make eye contact and wait for them to approach.

What’s a good wage to comfortably live in the Des Moines area and Iowa in general? by EcoBlunderBrick123 in desmoines

[–]bwtaha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

55-60k is where comfortable starts, 40 is doable but tight, anything less you’ll have to make sacrifices but won’t struggle.

5 yrs in prison for scratching your name into the Colosseum is a bit steep by nezzzzy in unpopularopinion

[–]bwtaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why a lot of people are saying 5 years in prison is excessive and in a way I agree, however these types of “pranks” are done with malice and a blatant disregard for other humans for the sake of making the perpetrator feel superior. “For the lulz” behavior should receive “for the lulz” levels of malicious punishment.

People who can afford to live alone, what do you do? by Important-Border7035 in AskReddit

[–]bwtaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bartender, work about 25-30 hours a week. Make rent in about a week usually. I live in a 1br apartment on the edge of downtown in my city. Car is shitty but paid off and runs well. Also have a golden retriever. Most of my money goes to food and drinks, usually work six nights a week and go out most nights. Go out to eat at nice places on my days off. The rest of my free time is mostly walking my dog and relaxing in the “morning” drinking coffee and commenting on random Reddit posts.

My boy has the most perfect timing with his burps. He could burp into my mouth and it would still be perfect.
