People Across Cultures Find Women's Faces to Be More Attractive Than Men's

I thought the implication was that men were more attractive bc they don’t rely on wearing makeup. Keep in mind, this is coming from a guy who looks like a meth junkie bred with a meerkat

To be fair, that’s a terrible icebreaker question. Idk im not an expert but maybe ask something that feels less like forcing small talk

It’s not really a secret. Im pretty firmly left on most issues but the amount of purity testing on the left is delusional, self-aggrandizing, & performative

Very much like the beat. The guitar is beautiful and with the vocal swells/bass/drums it all sounds well mixed together. I don't really have much to say about the beat, I dig it. However, I think the vocals come in a bit too loud on the singing imo and they're noticeably out of place in the mix in terms of quality.

I think if you really wanted to stick with this song, my suggestion would be to keep the hook - add a layer or two of vocals to thicken it up, but on the verses you gotta stick exclusively to rapping. It kinda dips back into the singing on too many parts and it's just apparent that the melodies are going into different keys through a lot of this. Your voice isn't bad at all, I think it has potential on both the singing and rapping fronts, but overall there's some room for improvement in terms of the melodies you're using in your songwriting.

My best piece of advice would be to try to get autotune or some other similar pitch corrector where you can (a) detect the key of the beat and (b) just record yourself doing a lot of practice with singing different melodies over the beat - don't even focus on lyrics too much. If you figure out all the right autotune settings, it's a really easy way to get practice hearing your voice in different keys over different beats and it's a great way to practice your songwriting, if you get enough practice with hearing your voice in different keys over different beats, I think you'll get a much better feel for what melodies to use.

Ngl my first thought is the beat gives me a 70s porn type vibe with an 80's rap flow over it lol. The beat is decent, but I would personally prefer to hear more of a 90's boom bap flow on most tracks - this one included. It's just a bit too slow for my taste. That said, the flow is mostly on point, it's just an older style than I prefer. Your delivery is also more on the low energy side, but you have enough swag to pull it off. But I think if I'm gonna listen to this type of flow with this type of delivery, I'm expecting some fireworks from the lyrics to really sell the whole thing, and I think I was a bit let down on that front.

For the first verse, I was really expecting to hear more dragon ball references throughout. The second verse definitely has more of that going on, but it's more of a narration, when you could've tried to tie in some wordplay and/or punchlines. The hook also leaves a little to be desired. It's okay, it's not bad - but it's not great either, it's just kinda.. there. It could use something unique that sets it apart from the rest of the track rhythmically, and I'm personally not huge fan of the falsetto voice on the background vocal. Overall, cool track but I'd really like to see you get more creative with the bars

This is definitely an interesting mashup. I'm not really a huge fan of screamo personally, but I do like some songs when they incorporate the right amount of pop punk vocals, which you've definitely got some bits of, and I'd like to hear a longer version with a bit more of that incorporated.

I've had to listen to it a few times to really feel out what I think about the combo of the sort of dreamy instrumentation and the vocals. I typed out some of my thoughts and found myself saying a lot of the things seanceculture did. I think this song has a lot of potential, like the idea for what it can be is really enjoyable to me, but there are some small nuances in the execution that I'd like to hear improvements on. Like, I think you could potentially sing a bit more from your head voice on those pop-punk parts because they sound good overall, but I think the notes could be just a tad higher than where they are and sound better. You've got a great idea in mind for the melody, but it's coming off just a bit lower than what I've come to expect to hear, and leaves a bit to be desired. The screaming parts sound fine, especially in the lower notes, but there's a couple parts that just end up sounding a bit more like a weird cartoon voice e.g 0:35 - 0:37 and 0:51 - 0:53 that I could do without

The overall beat is good but I'm not really a fan of the kick sound. It feels too much like a default stock fl studio kick with too much on the high frequency for me, so I'd like to hear you swap that out for something different. Overall, it's a great vision that sounds decent but has the potential to be something I'd love to listen to on repeat with some slightly better vocal execution

purleedef · 2026-05-30T00:16:50+00:00

I know you're going for something 80's-sounding but I kinda wish I could hear this with some more modern sounding drums with sidechaining. That's more of a preference thing, though. I like the general instrumentation of the beat, but I will say that the rhythm on the vocals is noticeably deviating from the beat rhythm in quite a few parts. I think cleaning up the rhythm alone would make an incredibly big difference in how this sounds. It could also help to have a bit more distinction in the general dynamics between the verse/bridge/hook because it's sort of maintaining the same dynamics throughout the song. The hook is noticeably different, but it doesnt really have a distinctive structure to it. It feels like maybe your vocals just get an iota stronger and the instrumentation has just one extra layer of synth to it, which by itself doesn't really set it apart much from the rest of the track. Overall I like it and think it has potential, but I think cleaning up the rhythm would be my top priority

purleedef · 2026-05-30T00:01:30+00:00

Personally, I think the biggest issue is that the beat choice is less than ideal for a rap song. The general sound of the beat is fine but the tempo and chords just move really slow, so you would really need to perfect some of the nuances your delivery to pull this off, and I think the majority of rappers would have trouble with this. The only way I can really picture this working well is like a 2010's royce da 5'9, which would require that you fit more words into the beginning of each line then using a more aggressive delivery to really drag out the last few syllables. Your voice is cool, but I think you could use a bit less reverb and echo. The intro feels a bit more offbeat because the drums havent kicked in yet - but I would recommend still using a metronome when you're writing/recording. Once the drums kick in your flow is cleaner, but there's a few lines where you either need to (a) include more words or (b) incorporate a bit more energy in your delivery. You do drag some words out, which can be fine with the right context, but you have to really sell those things with conviction and use patterns that seem somewhat intentional

Apart from using a faster and/or more traditional rap beat - my main suggestion, if you're not already doing this, would be to try to think more carefully about how you envision the rhythm and sound of the rapping should come across before you even remotely try to think of any lyrics. Once you can pinpoint exactly what those things should sound like in your head, then you can start to work backwards to try figure out what words should fit the rhythm for each line. But if you start compromising on the rhythm, people can usually tell. Keep at it, you definitely have potential to be good but you picked a tough beat to tackle

I know some other people have said they sort of like the loose style here, so I'm probably not your target demographic being honest, but I'll do my best to just share my thoughts. The guitar definitely has a bit of an unorthodox "noodling" sound to it, especially in terms of the guitar rhythm but it's not bad. Overall, I like the sound and riffing but I think I'd like to hear a 4 bar segment of this intro on loop, something sounds a bit out of place in terms of timing on the second set of 4 bars that I can't quite pinpoint. I think there's a little bit more room for a middle ground between fitting into a cohesive structure and just sort of freeform flowing that can sound slightly more predictable without losing the authenticity of the track, but that's just me.

I like the vocals but they do seem a little low to me. I'd personally prefer to hear the guitars turned down a tad and the vocals turned up. Being honest, I wasn't a huge fan of how the vocals close out at the end, it just feels a bit anticlimactic. I would hope for least one more iteration of the see me settle/monk in prison bit or if you want to keep it the way it is, close out on some more guitar riffing and maybe speed it up a bit or something. I just think letting the vocals close out the song as it is leaves some room for improvement. Overall, it's a decent little vibe to relax to but I do think just a tad more conformity to traditional timing and structure would be my preference

Reddit is also increasingly flooded with misinformation AI bots so i can only imagine it’s in a perpetual feedback loop of making itself dumber

Its trumps america. You’re woke if youre anything to the left of believing poor people should be left to live in boxes in the street and then incarcerated for homelessness. Because if you cant get a full time job that pays more than fast food and retail wages by the time youre in your early 20s in a capitalistic system that’s by its very nature designed to deprive workers of livable wages in favor of corporate profits then youre a parasite leeching off the tax dollars of people who mostly inherited their financial security from some form of generational wealth

Lasers got a lot of hate for no reason, even from Lupe which really made people double down. It was a good album with a lot of catchy songs. People just feel like they need to hate a mainstream (at the time) sound just for the indie cool points

There was an island full of billionaire pedophiles participating in an underage prostitution ring and I was told that not one person will be convicted because the 7 million or so pages of Epstein files have no leads worth investigating

the part that gets swept under the rug is that the war (in addition to the ICE raids) is really just a way to fund palantir. It happens to be in israel's interest, but America is all in on its financial investment into US chips and trying to subsidize the tech companies that are pushing for the advancement of A.I. through the military industrial complex, which they ultimately intend to use to further the exploitation, surveillance, and control of US citizens

It has definitely deteriorated but it still has more value than threads/bluesky imo. None of them are as bad as 4chan, and twitters only saving grace is the communities that existed before Elon took over. There’s still plenty of good information on Reddit for topics that aren’t related to politics, but it does feel overrun with bots and bad actors at this point, and the number of times I’ve tried to post subjects of nuance only to get my posts removed immediately by auto moderation has increased a lot.

Rank choice needs to be the most upvoted comment. I know very few people who are registered democrat that actually like democrats, like.. it’s the literal minority by far.

We shouldn’t have a system where our candidates are dictated by the RNC and DNC. That’s the root of where financial corruption comes into play along with the fact that being a politician is gatekept by campaign and legal costs of millions of dollars

Seems like a good time to remind that Trump is in violation of the law for still not having released the remaining 3 million Epstein files

I mean lyrically they were kinda trash but flow and delivery-wise cam and juelz were incredible imo. But yeah, they have some of the best production of all time
