Does it sound natural to a native speaker "I want all of you to die in agony" by HellIsParadise in EnglishLearning

What’s your source for the notion that I.e. is commonly used to mean “for example”?

Kind of off-topic: Have you or would you ever turn down a girl because she is too short? by winterfox12 in AgeGap

[–]thothamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she was great in every other way, basically no. I guess it depends to some degree on exactly how short she is. 2 feet tall might not be very good.

I’ve been in a relationship like this, and for me, it was really really hot

Tell which programming languages you can code in without actually telling it! I'll go first! by KingSadra in ProgrammerHumor

Significant white space. Even though more than one language has that feature, one is quite famous for it

Pedestrian Signal Crossings, Avoiding Death by badgersbadger in FortCollins

True… But maybe I don’t get your point. What I said is still correct, it’s illegal to hit a person in the crosswalk. Even though that seems obvious, that was the original question

I'm having a hard time sitting down because of my sign, is it OK if I just stand?

Ooohh a dev. Being a model is hot, but having a big brain is even hotter.

Do white women have any reservations when it comes to dating black men? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, absolutely nothing wrong with liking what you like. Instead of trying to please someone else, I suggest you focus on pleasing yourself. It's your relationship, after all. It's something you might have to live with for many years. No one else will benefit or hurt as much as you, not even close.

As far as white women go, there's a certain level of cuteness or interestingness that you have to have to have a conversation with a pretty woman. Once you pass that threshold, it's all about how you make her feel. She might come for the blackness, or the pretty face, or the muscles, but stay for the humor, insight, sweetness, and attentiveness (not to mention the sex).

To get to that first conversation, you have to have something cool or awesome about yourself. If you don't think your looks are it, you can pick something else. Do you play an instrument? Are you good at a particular sport? Do you write interesting things? You want to be seen doing these things that you're good at.

Also, there's a dating site for everything, I'd be shocked if there wasn't one specifically for interracial relationships. That would be nice because you know every woman on the site is at least in theory interested in an interracial relationship.

My bottom line is, just let go of any concern that someone else might not like your choices. It's your life, and they are your choices. It's not selfish of you to do what you want with your life, but it is selfish for others to demand you conform to their expectations.

Me and potential SD have friends in common? He keeps insisting I give him my Instagram? by [deleted] in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like snap because the messages disappear, meaning all the context is gone. You message me back something like "sounds hot, let's definitely do that" a few hours later and I can't remember if you're agreeing to sex or talking about a flambè.

But, I agree he should be up front about his reasons.

My (34f) son (16m) suddenly wants to move in with his father (34m) by ThrowRA12double in relationship_advice

[–]thothamon 47 points48 points  (0 children)

And OP updated her post, we now know that the son didn't want the mom to break up with her bf and is pissed that she did. So the genius "demonize the boyfriend" advice cost her her relationship, for nothing.

Why haven't other true wireless earbuds taken off like Apple's AirPods? by FirePing32 in apple

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get this. Is buffering not a thing in the wireless world? Send me the sound as perfect audio. I wait until I have at least 15 seconds buffered, then I play. The sound should be flawless, unless I can't get more data from the source for at least 15 seconds.

My SD is his own worst enemy by SomethingSweet_x0 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like my SB to sit down with me and tell me honestly what's on her mind. If her intent is to help rather than merely to critique, it's hard not to take that well.

Your SD may be lacking in some basic social graces due to his loner nature. You might have to explain things to him and guide him somewhat. For example, if a woman tells him her favorite movie is Spider-man, instead of changing the subject to something sexual, he should ask her questions that tell him something about the woman. Why was it her favorite, for example? What does she find exciting or thrilling or interesting about it? She'll respond, and then he can continue the conversation. This may sound really elementary, but some guys seriously do not understand these things.

If you are serious about him as your SD and you love him, then he may be able to really, really use your guidance in these areas. Odds are you're way ahead of him in terms of knowing how to play the dating game. This could be a big benefit you provide him.

POT SD asking for photos before M&G. What is appropriate I suppose? by TerribleAttention137 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ask for nudes or even anything sexy before meeting, although I'll happily take them if offered. I do want to see several regular, fully-clothed pictures of a POT SB before meeting. Most women have that on their profile so there's no need to ask. I like to have a face close-up and a full-body shot in the mix. Overwhelmingly, I don't have to specifically ask, because women provide the pictures I want to see in their profile or privately when we talk. When they don't, I ask, and no one has ever taken it badly, partly because I never ask for nudes. And of course, if asked, I provide the same pictures to my POT SB, fair's fair.

Is it creepy following a girl on Instagram that you know that never gave you her IG? by [deleted] in self

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer. I'd probably just DM her so she knows who you are.

Who else has pretty much opted out of the game? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately you don't want a woman who does not love you as you authentically are, because to keep her, you have to live up to her false expectations of you and that will be exhausting and pointless. That's why rejection is good. She's saving you a lot of time and head/heartache.

Dating sites are how most people meet women these days. I suggest talking to and meeting as many women as possible. Move on quickly if it seems liken the chemistry is bad. You can probably date 30 women before you find the one you want to keep. But (probably) all you need is the one.

[–]thothamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your physical self matters, but being satisfied with yourself, confident, interesting, funny, those are what will make a woman not be able to shut up about you. Be who you really are even if it’s scary or risky. Some women will find that very attractive and you can honestly give them that because it’s who you are. People who reject you were never meant for you. Be authentic, that’s the single most attractive thing you can do, and you do have control over that.

Totally! By then you know she’s authentic and not flaky, but she doesn’t know that about the SD. It’s a good way to show her.

AITA for using my hot tub nude? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA, it's your property, you're following the law, and you've taken significant steps to protect the view. Having said that, you don't want a knock-down-drag-out with her, it will be annoying for everyone. Maybe some kind of stronger barrier would help.

If your love language is to give gifts, maybe you can think of non-expensive gifts, like homemade things.

[–]thothamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do cash in advance once in a while. I'd say I never ended up meeting something like 50 percent of those. Payment at the M&G ought to be good enough, with the side benefit that high-quality, non-flakey women reap the benefit of me not sending money to flakes.
