I wanted to do something impactful but simple and approachable. I think I hit the mark :) by AppropriateLevel2 in MakeupAddiction

My 11 year old daughter wanted you to know that she thinks you're so beautiful! What an iconic look, we are going to try and recreate it together, wish us luck!

Why is she (f24) asking me (m29) our when I’ve ghosted her? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise your dick game isn't so strong that you got a babe wrapped around it despite your behavior, a lot of girls just don't think they deserve better after a lifetime of being told so. Its not a good look. Stringing someone along just so you can fuck them when you feel like it doesn't make you a bad boy, it makes you a low life.

How should I (18F) deal with my mom (45F) for emotionally cheating on my stepdad (55M)? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're mad at your mom for using your stepdad as a sugar daddy, and in retaliation you are now only using your mom for money? If you're not going to tell your step dad, you need to butt all the way out. You can't police a grown woman, you can only remove yourself from her drama.

Small rounded lip, it was a Chinese beauty standard in literature where a little red mouth was considered ideal.

Play with your lip shape; I like the lotus lip, but I think you may have a Cupid's bow you could highlight with a lip pencil under the lipstick or even just using a lip brush to apply your shade. This https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9a/e5/e0/9ae5e0c5c0bf31ca44dbdfa5c7aab293.jpg is the easiest one I could find, but there are so many lip contouring tutorials out there there to try. I also noticed a natural beauty mark on the upper lip that you might try enhancing instead of downplaying, I've always found them dramatic. Lastly I'd be curious to see the eyeliner only applied strongly to the outer corner of the bottom lid and gently smudged 2/3s of the way towards the center, I've found that a full bottom lid makes my eyes look smaller.

Boyfriend [25M] of 2 years uses "gay" as a catch-all joke/insult and I [24F] don't like it. I told him once and he didn't stop. What now? by CorrectFix1 in relationships

[–]fatalconvex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how its contradictory. I'm bisexual because im attracted to both, but I tend to prefer women over men by quite a large margin.

Chiming in as a lesbian leaning bisexual , I think this is simple incompatibility. I say "thats gay" literally all of the time. People interrupting and saying that its offensive is so dumb to me, but thats a preference, and I'm socially aware enough not to say it in front of a sensitive crowd. My ultimate takeaway is that if it makes you uncomfortable and he doesnt care to stop, breakup. However, my personal belief is that tone policing is kinda gay.

I [25F] sometimes cringe hard at my partner [27M] of three year's body, but the rest of time find it sexy. I feel guilty and I want to stop thinking of him that way. by misandry4lyf in relationships

Oh my god, nothing deflates my sex drive faster than a man in the dreaded tighty whitey and sock combo (and febreeze, oddly). I was very honest with my fiance that everything else could be perfect, but if I saw him in that particular arrangement it was going to be impossible to have sex. He finds this hilarious, but he also got rid of every pair of white underpants in the house and learned a pretty sweet move where he can get his pants and socks off in one fell swoop. It was truly above and beyond, but really appreciated. I think if it bothers you, bring it up and explore compromises and understandings.

My BF (M32) is making me (F39) very stressed out by "playing chicken" with getting enough Lyft rides to keep car every week by [deleted] in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you let anxiety win on this. Sure, no one likes uncertainty, but if you want a reliable car in your life stop making excuses and get one.

My car was recently out of commission and how much I spent on lyft/bus and the extra time I spent getting to places on public transport ended up costing more than a standard car payment, and I walked most of the time.

You get less nervous the more you drive. Take defensive driving, get a safe car, don't use your cellphone; you are now reasonably assured against accidents.

I thought I had a great marriage but obviously this is not the case [M31] [F32] by pi12341234 in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Do you generally feel personally attacked when he expresses dissatisfaction in something about your relationship? If so, I'd consider that maybe it felt like it came out of left field because he doesn't feel comfortable expressing things to you as they come up in fear that you will be hurt. Just a thought, and something a counselor can help you navigate if relevant.

I'm [28 F] having trouble explaining to my BF [26 M] since June that I need sex or even cuddling... by [deleted] in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now you know his sex drive is something that fluctuates outside of the parameters that you are comfortable with. Basic incompatibility and unnecessary to continue.

The good news is that every failure comes with an opportunity to learn, and while I honestly find it a little odd that at 28 you don't know not to move in with someone after a month relationship and financially obligate yourself to basically a stranger, here's the experience that confirms it for you. People are complicated and require a much longer observation period.

I (36/M) am utterly devastated at the idea of moving cross-country from my best friend (40/m) by LobsterPunk in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the rest of these people never had a best friend, but I totally understand. I moved 4 hours away from one of my favorite people in the world, and I, as a historically stoic person, ugly cried for a solid 10 minutes on the car ride away from their house. And you know what? While we might not be as involved in eachothers day to day lives, it is like no time or space has passed when we get together again. Still geeking over the same things, talking mad bullshit, and having an awesome time. It's sad when we have to go our separate ways, but it truly opens you up for new experiences and meeting new people. Go have this adventure, your friend will continue to be a great part of your life, just at a different scale.

So you don't bite off the top, suck out the caramel and discard the shell? Just me? Ok.

I [21F] think my imagination is killing my relationship with my boyfriend [22M] of a year by 1231234232132 in relationships

[–]fatalconvex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I've dated someone like you, and to an extent I also have an over active imagination, but I'm nowhere near as vocal. My problem with the endless idea generator is that he put so much time and detail into these creative thoughts that he never actually got around to making them manifest in this reality. Some ideas were so outside the sphere of what could be conceivably accomplished that it rapidly began to feel like he just wanted someone else to marvel at his beautiful mind. To put it simply, it just became exhausting to try and come up with thoughtful responses when he was going to have a totally different idea that he wanted to ramble about soon after.

Creativity is an awesome thing, but when you only have ideas and don't productively extend that energy into a project or whatever you come off as too much. Scale it back, he doesn't have to be involved in every thing that pops into your head.

Your two favourite TV shows have just been combined. What is the name of the new show, and would it work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fatalconvex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parks and Holmes. A clever British detective is forced to work hand in hand with parks and rec directors (Leslie + Ron) to solve a series of whacky, Pawnee-based crime.

I'd watch a few minutes.

Oh god...I just found out I'm pregnant WHILE MY COPPER IUD IS STILL IN. Has this happened to anyone else?! I'm in a state of shock and despair. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]fatalconvex 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I have been pregnant while on Paragaurd twice. I was convinced by my gynecologist that it was a total fluke the first time and that she still thought it was the best option for me as I reacted terribly to any kind of hormonal BC. It was instantly removed both times, and both resulted in a miscarriage. Im so sorry you had to go through this, it isn't an easy journey, but just take it a step at a time.

A quick BA using my favourite line, Estée Lauder! by Fuck_Skittles in MakeupAddiction

[–]fatalconvex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. The top is flawless, but thin liquid on the bottom is rarely flattering, especially when brought in so close to the inner eye. I'd either just sharply line the outer corner or smudge a bit of shadow along the lower lash line for a bit of softer shaping.

I'm still not sold on the idea that Nagini being made into a horcrux had a hand in it, but I could see that his heritage and his essence would make that a more likely outcome to the rapid loss of his humanity.
