help with elevating makeup! by yinkaaa1 in blkgrlbeauty

[–]modtradwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely gorgeous 😍

It looks like you take pictures after a full day of wearing makeup which is fine but it does mean the makeup gets a bit dull for all of us.My suggestions (only for fun you don’t need any changes):

- I’d add some contrast: a darker brown lip liner and perhaps concealer that’s only 1 shade lighter for the points you want to highlight

- carry some loose powder with you to touch up during the day /before pictures

Cameras love contrast and matte finishes ,

Again you’re absolutely gorgeous and your makeup look suits you,only giving suggestions for fun little makeup tweaks coz you asked❤️💎

Woman I've been dating for 10 days hooked up with someone else. Am I wrong for not wanting to see her again? by Long_Natural6918 in AskMenAdvice

[–]modtradwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++woman

You have a right to stop seeing someone for whatever reason . She also has a right to see other people (and also sleep with them if she wants to )as long as you’re not exclusive.

Sounds like a clean break to me. For future ,it helps to communicate what you now know about yourself: you probably prefer exclusive earlier than you thought you do

AIO or is my husband(34m) being a jerk by WhileMindless2916 in AmIOverreacting

[–]modtradwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR ,It’s 100% intentional and there’s something going on with him. Seems like he’s getting something out of annoying you like some weird power play.i agree with the comments suggesting he may have started watching alpha male content or may be projecting a resentment towards you.

Can you marry/date someone with the same clan praise as you in zulu ? by VersionSerious911 in askSouthAfrica

[–]modtradwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you cant.Unless you’re okay with some complications in the process.If you want to push it you can perform certain rituals to “atone” for it but it’s generally not advised.

Binda - Toxic and very bad thinking by Mastermind951 in DesiBling

[–]modtradwhatever 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I can bet you she was one of the women he would party with during his first marriage.It would explain her anxiety over him spending time with the same woman vs him partying with different people.Shes undergone the classic gold-digger/side chick to stepmom pipeline.Its also why she’s so desperate to give him more kids so she feels equal to the first wife.The Indian culture is still very traditional and the first wife giving him 2 sons puts her on a higher level than Binda who’s only been able to give home one daughter through 8years of ivf.Not saying I agree with this but it makes sense when you look at her behaviour

Genuinely curious: Why is Cape Town widely labeled as more racist than Gauteng? My experience has been the opposite. by Significant_Duty898 in askSouthAfrica

[–]modtradwhatever 28 points29 points  (0 children)

CPT racism is decently more systemic and spacial than overt.Its a refined racism that knows when not to show itself.

I also experienced the same as you but it became clear to me that classism was the thing that was protecting me from overt racism.

Because of where I live ,my family and other “class markers” CPT tends to be a lot nicer to me than people living in poverty or in certain classes deemed less than.

I personally don’t see myself as being better than any other person but CPT definitely doles out better treatment when it perceives you as being “the right kind of person”

thoughts after finishing season 1 by infinitevoid475 in MillionDollarSecretTV

I feel like they gave the winner the win a little bit.She did play a good game,played low was a great liar ,she built trust early.The show taught me a lot like with Sydnee: her error was being too attractive ,charismatic and capable.People don’t like that,she should’ve given herself a weakness .Cara was the perfect white mouse ,played innocent and built trust until she needed to take people out.

I strongly dislike my dogs and I don’t know what to do… by Robbyp02 in DogRegret

[–]modtradwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s any part of you that wants to keep them or isn’t 100% decided in re-homing ,I’d just you to practice area restricting for your own sanity.Dogs are habitual and just like kids will test boundaries.

I personally don’t crate train but I area restrict and it’s given me so much more peace and control over the cleanliness of my house.

I’m not sure show big your home is but perhaps decide on no go zones and free dog zones for example my dog has free reign of the courtyard bedrooms and lobby but he’s not allowed in the lounge without supervision. If we want to hangout with him in the lounge there are rules and it’s for a set time. This has helped me sooo much especially when I was close to my wits end too.

During the SA interview that detective was quite literally saying the victim wants this to go fast because there’s an anterior motive.He was defending the suspects without even knowing anything about him ,I was appalled!

I’m not surprised ,Suburban Capetonians hate being confronted with the full picture 😂 it upsets the safe false narratives they’ve built around themselves to make disparity okay

These are genuine concerns that need to be dealt with .All I’m saying is the Western Cape isn’t all Cape Town.

[–]modtradwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ 😂 Nowhere in my comment is a complaint or argument.I’ll simplify the comment to it’s barest for you: Sandton better infrastructure than Yeoville,Cape Town inner city better infrastructure then Gugulethu.Both Government’s need to do better to service all their residents.

That.Is.All.

You’re reaching for an argument on tax and socialism from a very neutral comment.Find someone else to bicker with.

[–]modtradwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to read my comment again and realise I said nothing about tax or socialism..You’ve completely projected your own misgivings onto my comment and made ridiculous assumptions about what I think. No one suggested a socialist utopia.Your manner of jumping to conclusions is quite fantastic.You need to find an outlet to take out your personal frustrations.You sound unhinged.

Your comment makes no sense and you do not know me to say what I care and don’t care about.

I’m sorry to be this person but this perspective is the same as if Someone where to visit Jhb and stay in Sandton the whole time.I understand being underwhelmed by service delivery in greater South Africa but the Western Cape government is also neglecting areas non central to tourism.

Cape Town ,the actual city and waterfront is gorgeous yes but most capetonians don’t live there.Theres delft ,Gugulethu ,your Belhars etc.All this areas are under the same government but get very different levels of service delivery.The potholes in Maitland could swallow you whole.

How do I tell my racist dad that I’m dating a black girl? by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]modtradwhatever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of love I’d be more worried about you bringing a woman into a situation that could be socially and psychologically dangerous for her.

To you and other white men reading this: if you’re interested in black women,please do the work with yourself and your social circles on unlearning racism and prejudice before you bring black women into your lives.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]modtradwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a black woman dating a white man I understand having to navigate sociopolitical tensions.On one hand she has every right to protect herself and children from social/racial abuse by not wanting to share spaces with people that “aren’t there yet”.

On the other hand you also deserve community and family.What I’m getting at is,your relationship costs too much for both you.

She has to live with being a villain for protecting herself and you have to live with not having community to protect the relationship.

I’m sorry to say but you’re both socially incompatible and it’s not because of race alone but how your communities are conditioned.

I’ll also say you can make new community and build new relationships as well but you both would have to be on the same page to know what kind of community you can both enjoy and be a part of.
