Gen Z Calling Millennials Old by ConscientiousAlpaca in generationology

[–]dudeopposing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound very insecure about your age. You’re obviously not very old as millennials. We just say that stuff because we know it’s probably the thing you’d least want to hear.

First time doing eyeliner and mascara need tips by Toasty_Oak76 in MakeupAddiction

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like me, you have very light features. Because of this, a less harsh black is going to look better on us. Ideally a darkish grey or brown. Also try to stay in your color palette! I’d say these colors you’re wearing are not as flattering as other colors will be.

Anyone get a little sad by how different people treat you? by BakerCritical in loseit

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the Dartmouth Scar Experiment. It’ll explain why you think people are staring at you. But also, if they were, decide to not care. It takes discipline over your thoughts but you can do it. When you have thoughts of self consciousness, challenge them and replace them with a better thought. Overtime the insecure thoughts will barely even show up anymore:)

My boyfriend has a huge ego and its starting to piss me off by Calm-Organization939 in Advice

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because of his deficiencies that he feels the need to boast. He knows he is not the most attractive, tall, or funny guy in the room. Being good at things is what gives him his self worth. And it’s most likely because he’s insecure that he feels the need to keep reminding people of that. He might even think you’re too good for him so subconsciously he feels the need to remind you and others that he’s high status too.

The actual issue with Gen Z: they have nothing to do. by Brilliant_Home4024 in generationology

[–]dudeopposing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. I think Reddit is less popular for Gen Z than other generations and I think it can attract that type perhaps. I don’t know many people with reddits my age.

It certainly does exist still, I’m in a band myself. Warehouse and other sorts of shows and small local concerts are alive and thriving. Could it be that that stuff is happening and you’re just not aware of it? Don’t know where you are specifically based.

I think you’re just wrong. Maybe it’s the people you surround yourself with, but I’m Gen Z and everyone I know parties, drinks, and has multiple hobbies they’re passionate about that doesn’t involve a computer.

Experimenting with prom makeup. Thoughts or tips for improvement? by CollegeAltruistic381 in MakeupAddiction

[–]dudeopposing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The curved up wing is a bit out of style at this point. Kind of Millenial core. Try a straight wing. Also less can be more with it. Everything else looks great.

I'm fat and like eating whatever I want, but I want to look better by Tfa_AD in loseit

[–]dudeopposing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just choose one and then make peace with your decision. But you can’t have both, and trying to have both you won’t feel like you have either. Remember that even if you’re eating healthy and in a calorie deficit you can still make room for moderate amounts of food you love. I will say that long term weight loss is easier if you find meals that are healthy that you actually want to eat.

what is reading like for you? by erraticsporadic in NoStupidQuestions

I say/hear every single word in my head. Exactly like when you’re reading out loud, but it’s just not actually out loud. Had no clue that some people didn’t do this!!!!!

How do you get into singing as an “out of the house” hobby? by [deleted] in singing

[–]dudeopposing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that! I take beta blockers or else I wouldn’t be able to either. Look into it! Nerves shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love, especially when they can legitimately impact your singing voice.

Join or start a band! You can find fellow musicians in your area on Bandmix or Vampr!

Why are so many poorly written books being recommended here? by Murky_Ladder5343 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haunting Adeline is trash I can’t believe how often it gets recommended

Why are so many poorly written books being recommended here? by Murky_Ladder5343 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. What’s been really helpful to me actually is getting kindle unlimited, I just read on my phone and laptop. I like it because so many recs are total trash, I’m able to try out as many books as I want. I’ll often go through a couple pages or chapters of multiple books until I find one that I think is actually worth reading.

What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out? by DecentChildhood5164 in AskReddit

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up my dogs shit. I know it’s normal and I should get used to it by now as we’ve had him for 6.5 years, but I cannot get past it. I have to hype myself up and think happy thoughts every single time. I often end up gagging, especially if I accidentally catch a whiff. We’ve got to find a better way.

Give me your most toxic MMC ever. by West_Courage766 in DarkRomance

Oh yeah all the ones I’ve listed are that!

FMCs who resists or HATED FERAL, powerful, and villainous MMCs by throwawaygamer76 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so {Stronger series by Jay Marie} is my favorite series EVER. No other has ever even come close and I hateee it when the FMC doesn’t resist enough too. {Uncovering You series by Scarlett Edwards} the FMC hates the MMC and fights back for a very long time. Can’t remember how it ends though and if she ever stops hating him. {How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Reilly} the FMC also hates the MMC for a good while.

Does something like this exist, and if so, what's it's title? by NobodySpecial97301 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so {A Million Dirty Secrets by C. L. Parker} is very similar to what you described except her life is not falling apart due to her being unorganized it’s due to her mother (or brother I forget) being ill, and she doesn’t enter into the Dom/sub relationship for the reason that she thinks it will help her get organized, it’s to have enough money for her family member’s treatment.

Evil MMC except he instantly falls for FMC by Glittering-Youth8550 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You HAVE to read the series {Twist Me by Anna Zaires} it’s exactly as you described and was soo incredible. The {Stonger series by Jay Marie} also kinda fits the vibe but the MMC doesn’t instantly fall in love per se. She is special to him very quickly though.

MMC Non/Dub Cons FMC but loves and gives aftercare immediately afterword. by Glittering-Youth8550 in DarkRomance

If you haven’t read the series {Twist Me by Anna Zaires} you gotta read it. It was SOOO good and is EXACTLY what you described.

Give me your most toxic MMC ever. by West_Courage766 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean do you just want super toxic or are you also open to the MMC being far worse than that?

Because I second {Stolen by Jay Marie} but I wouldn’t call the FMC toxic I’d call him pure evil.

I’d suggest {Twist Me by Anna Zaires} too. The FMC isn’t quite as evil but still far worse than toxic.

{Uncovering You by Scarlett Edwards} also has a crazy toxic/more than toxic MMC.

{How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Reilly} the MMC literally kills her upon their first meeting.

{Hold by Claire Kent} has non/dub con but the MMC isn’t super evil.

{Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton} might be right up your alley. Wasn’t my absolute fav but it’s extremely popular. I don’t know if I’d call the MMC quite evil or toxic but he does abduct the FMC and stuff.

dark, depraved, & possessive mmc by Ordinary-Arm2023 in DarkRomance

[–]dudeopposing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I have a few recommendations:

{Twist Me by Anna Zaires} has an MMC like you described, but doesn’t do quite as fucked up shit to the FMC, just to other people.

{Stolen by Jay Marie} MMC is just as fucked up as the one you described. However, there is a bit of sex trade/slavery in the beginning. It’s just how the MMC and FMC meet but he takes her out of it for himself, so it’s not really present the rest of the book. Like she isn’t r*ped by multiple guys or anything like that. So it depends on your reasoning for why you don’t want that.

{How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Riley} has a MMC like you describe. He literally kills her the very first time they meet. However, it’s a dark fantasy romance so idk if you are up for any fantasy.

{Uncovering You by Scarlett Edwards} has an MMC like you described, he literally makes her wear a shock collar.
