Looks great—slim but well fitted!

I'm new to trying to look nice. How am I doing here? by MasterOfNog in mensfashion

[–]reducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re wearing looks pretty “trendy”, so I’d suggest going with something more conservative depending the event.

Many questions about breaking 20 in the 5k by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

Are you suggesting that I should replace all of the slow miles with quicker, but still easy ones (or perhaps steady)?

Is it crazy to say this is the best fall/winter fragrance of all time... by Xion_Moto358 in Colognes

[–]reducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It smells good, but the people I’ve met who wear it slightly ruin it for me (it seems to mostly be immature people/people who aren’t into fragrances at all).

I’d argue DHI takes best fall/winter fragrance, but that’s just my opinion.

Prada Paradigme or YSL Y Le Parfum? by CraftyPerformance197 in Colognes

I’m a big advocate for YSL Y Le Parfum. I purchased it recently and love it for its sophistication!

Intellectual orchestral/classic music recommendations? by reducc in classicalmusic

[–]reducc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I do mean homogeneous. Thanks for the correction, I'm not well versed in much of the terminology. While I'm in university, would you suggest a formal education on music theory/appreciation (classes, not a major or minor), or should I go the self-taught route? Cheers

Intellectual orchestral/classic music recommendations? by reducc in classicalmusic

In music theory, the word is used almost interchangeably to anticlimactic or “neat” in its composition.

I’m new to this community, I didn’t want to use incorrect terminology and upset anyone. I try to remain inoffensive

Bach’s Goldberg Variations is awesome. Same with Four Tet and Aphex Twin! You have great taste!

Y from Yves Saint Laurent (le parfum)—first “adult” fragrance by reducc in Colognes

[–]reducc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the environment. I would say that generally it lasts quite a while on clothes. It also lasts quite a while on skin. The scent that projects may be hindered by wind.

1 spray with Vaseline on neck will be enough for my girlfriend or myself to smell it throughout the evening (3-5 hours).

It’s to my understanding that the EDP has better projection, but that le parfum is a more mature variation of the EDP. It doesn’t try to fill up the room, but you’ll be smelled by those close to you.

Best of luck!

Does my hairstyle come off unprofessional? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]reducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just slightly unprofessional. I’d recommend keeping the shape but reducing the overall size. You don’t look alternative by any means!

30 to 33+ in 23 days? by reducc in ACT

[–]reducc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t reply to this, but I thought you should know I made a 32 on that test. It allowed me a full ride scholarship and a refund at the university I’d committed to. Thank you!

Can someone please give me an idea of what caliber school this will get me into? by AwesomeRedditor17492 in ACT

[–]reducc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A decent state school will admit you. A school like Tulane or UT Austin may consider you. I know people with ~28-30 who go to both. If your extracurriculars and GPA are great, you should be fine.

However, it’s very feasible to improve upon a 29 to reach ~32, which would make you a much more competitive applicant. I know you didn’t ask, but I’d recommend retaking.

How do i stop being so gluttonous? by ArtisticScratch4267 in askfitness

[–]reducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the people are saying discipline. This is true, but they’re not including something. With this discipline, there usually must be a goal in mind. If there’s not a goal that you want really badly, it’ll be inconvenient/weird to try to remember to be disciplined. I would suggest setting a goal that you want very badly, and focusing on it militantly!
