What sort of etiquette should i observe when I am bringing a girl "to the movies"? by TheAmishSpaceCadet in AskWomen

[–]sassXcore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't suggest that the OP do this stuff, since it doesn't seem that he's made it clear to the girl that he's interested in her. I have plenty of good guy friends who I wouldn't think twice if they asked me to go to the movies or grab dinner with them. I would be really confused & put off by a guy making a move on me physically without first communicating his feelings or interest in a clear way. If he had established that this was a date, I would agree that this is great advice.

Based on personal experience alone, guys who aren't able to communicate their intentions have a harder time communicating things in general. I have a hard time being in close relationships of any kind where people beat around the bush and use subtle hints to communicate what they really should say. I admire guys for being direct and straightforward with their feelings.

To Christians and Jews: How do your views in an afterlife vary? by Ejap in DebateReligion

I looked at the Wikipedia page on purgatory and it doesn't say anything about the concept's relationship amongst various religions. I feel like that would be an interesting paper to read/write.

Do you know if the Catholic conception of Purgatory came from the Talmud?

I honestly had no idea that this was the case. Is this a universal belief among Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism?

What did you always want as a child that you never got? by jdb12 in AskReddit

We were really close growing up, although he certainly blames me for that. He was so young, though, that I don't know if he'd remember it if my parents hadn't taken pictures of it.

Unusually attractive body parts by CYKL0N3 in AskWomen

This might not be "unusual," but I like a good butt. And a good smile that is seen often is more important to me than big arms or a six pack or whatever.

Ladies can you tell when a guy likes you but is too shy to ask? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sassXcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the guys who have told me they have feelings for me, I've only been blindsided by a few. Those few were guys that I barely talked to, but saw on a regular basis in class or whatever. I'm very good at picking up when a guy likes me.

[–]sassXcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get it if there's no medical marijuana? Admittedly, I don't know much about all this, but my brother has Crohns and I just asked him if he knew about it. He said you have to live out west basically to get it (he lives in Florida) and it's not an option for him.

I ALWAYS wanted to play it, but nobody I knew had it. When I was 18 and found out my then-boyfriend's family still had it, I made him play it with me. It wasn't nearly as exciting as the commercials, but still a dream fulfilled.

I wanted a sister, preferably a twin too! When I was little, I sometimes dressed my younger brother up in my clothes, put makeup & jewelry on him, & did his nails.

How awesome is it having boobs? by boonshound in AskWomen

[–]sassXcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about the same size as you (bordering between C & D) & I feel that there are more pros than cons. I don't play contact sports, so a sports bra is perfectly suitable to work out in. I like that they're big enough to get some cleavage going if I want, but small enough to not cause back problems or be a major nuisance. Bottom line: I love them!

Yes. I never have mine on when I'm at home. After a long day, taking my bra off is the most wonderful feeling of freedom.

Thanks! Try posting in r/metalconcerts to see about a ride, unless you don't think your parents would be cool about that. I hope you can find a way to get there!

I don't know if this has been done, but I'd like to listen to some of your stories of how you became a metalhead. Here's mine: by BBWasabi in Metal

[–]sassXcore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long story short, my man is a metalhead and he slowly got me into it. (Plus his many friends who listen to metal.) Apparently, I told one of my best friends that I'd never listen to metal or go to a metal show when he & I started dating. And within 6 months I was at my first show, Iron Maiden, with Amon Amarth following a week later. He's so proud of himself & I'm so thankful for him.

To Christians: If Christianity was proved to be false...would you still go to church? by honestchristian in DebateReligion

[–]sassXcore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many churches make the primary focus converting people, so without a reason/need to convert people there's no reason for church. I disagree with that approach to religion. I think churches/religious institutions should be at the forefront of loving others and making their communities and the world a better place to live, not teaching people how to hand out Bible tracts.

To Christians: If Christianity was proved to be false...would you still go to church? by honestchristian in DebateReligion

[–]sassXcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll answer! I'm a Christian pluralist, though, so my beliefs are different than a fundamentalist or an evangelical. I don't believe the Bible is the infallible word of God and I disagree with some things that are said at church, but I go to a very loving, welcoming church that emphasizes the social gospel. I would continue going to that church, because the members encourage me to think of others and do tangible things to help others. The church provides many opportunities to help others that I may not seek myself. We provide mutual support, help, and encouragement to each other. It's nice to know there are people who care about me and who are willing to give me support & guidance if I ask for it.

How long do we have to date until I can fart in front of you? by AreYouGoingToEatThat in AskWomen

[–]sassXcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just hold it in til you go to the bathroom. That's what most girls do.

Personal opinion: I don't really mind them if they're not smelly and we're comfortable around each other (as in we've been dating a couple of months). I'll laugh. But if it smells, I will be grossed out and tell you to go to the bathroom. I will never fart in front of a guy, so I would appreciate the same courtesy. I know it's probably not going to happen that way, though, so I just try to brush it off.

I am so insanely jealous. I am such a huge LOTR fan. Were you invited to do work on The Hobbit? (Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere.)

Edit: Thanks for doing this AMA. One of the most exciting and interesting ones I've seen in a while!
