What do men consider to be the romantic equivalent to flowers, etc? | null | 891 | For me it's any gift at all. Every woman I've been with never buys me stuff. Idk if women feel men don't need, want or appreciate gifts or if I just pick women that think that. | 400 | ask |
Do you agree with marijuana being legal? | I think it is a great stress relief and a good way for me to sleep. | 1,960 | To quote out sheriff, "I've never been assaulted by a stoner" | 476 | ask |
People with high IQ of Reddit, what advantages and downsides have you found during your life regarding said high IQ? | null | 676 | Did 3 'proper' IQ tests growing up, aged 12, 14 and 16. My school put certain kids forward for these formative IQ tests that were like exams and were externally marked and such. Aged 12 I got 144 IQ, aged 14 I got 132 IQ and aged 16 I got 138 IQ. 138 is the most recent score and also the average. That would put me in the 99th percentile, but the truth is that is does not matter whatsoever... seriously. I had to work less hard at maths and such than a lot of kids but this has just been worse for me in the long run; as Richard Feynman says, your intelligence is based around your willingness to learn, fail and apply yourself and think critically and is not measured by a number. If anything, higher IQ has meant I have lived much of my academic life on autopilot and I have lost the real meaning of intelligence as a result :) | 378 | ask |
Can white people experience racism ? | null | 627 | I would say any race of people can experience racism. | 852 | ask |
What’s something you really resent paying for? | null | 1,166 | Medications that I need to live. I have no objections to paying something but the prices Big Pharma charges are criminal. Example: I use an oral inhaler once a day for my asthma. Because of my health insurance deductible, I have to pay full price at the beginning of each year for the first refill. The container has 60 puffs, good for 60 days. The price without insurance is $480, or 8 dollars a puff. Why should I have to pay this much just to be able to breathe?? | 591 | ask |

Would you consider 18/19 year olds to be teenagers? | Some people don't consider them teens because they are of legal adult age. I consider them teens I just want to know how many people feel the same. | 501 | They're both teenagers and young adults. The terms aren't mutually exclusive. | 278 | ask |
How has Michael Jackson survived cancellation? | null | 766 | Everyone survives cancellation. Mel Gibson was "canceled" for going on anti-semitic and homophobic rants but he's still making movies.
Cancelling someone is just another word for shunning, but not everyone necessarily cares about this shunning. Just because a bunch of people on social media complain about someone (aka "cancelling") doesn't mean they disappear or that everyone cares. | 346 | ask |

Edit ~ I’M A GIRL. I saw a lot of comments saying “male” and “he” if it’s because of the “grant” in my name that’s for a guy I’m in love with named grant. My bot in my profile picture is a girl one.

Got tons of candy.
Edit: thank you for the award | 233 | ask |
do guys actually care about ass size?? | i have a follow up question. you know those really really big fake ones…do you actually find them attractive ???
edit: i am surprised this many guys care about ass size. never had this many replies lol
edit 2: from a fellow redditor in the comments we have another question:
“Follow up to OP's question: for the ass lovers, do you care about cellulite and ass dimples? All the p videos I've seen (even BBWs) seem to have women with totally smooth, sometimes jiggly, asses. Idfk how you grow an ass that fat and it NOT have cellulite. I'm insecure about my body, especially my ass, for that reason. So, what are your thoughts?” | 550 | For some its the view, for others its what it do. | 463 | ask |

What caused your biggest existential crisis in life? | null | 792 | Too much LSD over 15 yrs, followed by a bipolar 2 diagnosis, then 5 yrs of hell bc some of my meds weren't correct. Blew up most of my life and now I'm rebuilding (yet again) close to 40. | 335 | ask |

Edit: Thank you all so much for responding! I went with my little sister, and we both had lots of fun. Happy Halloween!!! | 1,108 | No one is too old to trick or treat. My grandma is 72 and is still as excited as ever to go trick or treat. She wears a costume and all. It’s honestly adorable and gives me a sense of hope for humanity. | 418 | ask |

Do white peoples hair really need a wash after a day? | I’m a black woman and was recently told by a white friend that she washes her hair daily. If you didn’t know, for black hair that would be harmful, which was why her telling me this was so shocking to me.
I knew white people had to clean their hair more often, just not daily. Is this true? Or is my friend unintentionally fucking up her hair? | 848 | It depends on your hair and skin type. People who tend to have oily skin and very straight hair will need to wash more often, but I would advise them not to everyday. My hair has got loose curls, so I wash my hair about twice a week, and rinse without washing once a week. | 374 | ask |

How do I tell my wife it would be best if she didn't start her new job? | My partner was originally employed with my firm. The thing is she didn't want to become a partner with me and chose to remain as an employee. After working 5 years, she quit to get a master's degree and has now gotten employment with another firm. I'm extremely happy she's got this opportunity but the thing is this company is a direct competitor of ours. I don't think she remembers her contract because it has a non compete in it, barring her from working in the same field as ours. It additionally comes with a monetary penalty depending on how much time has passed since she quit.
You may think I would be able to revoke said clause, but since she was my partner when she started working, I left it entirely in the hands of the HR. They have just notified me that a notice has been sent to her as well as the company. I expect it to be a stormy night tonight. How do I handle this situation with hurting either of them?
P.S.: Okay, I'm seeing a recurring problem here. The non compete doesn't put her out of a job completely. She can work in complementary roles for any other company. The only ones forbidden are DIRECT COMPETITORS. And they have a non compete too, just saying because people assume I'm the only one who makes such contracts. | 827 | I’m so confused. Why didn’t you remind her of the non-compete before she took the job with the competitor? If she’s in legal trouble, as her partner, doesn’t that put you in hot water also? | 160 | ask |
If you could only eat 1 food for the rest of your life what would it be? | Let’s just pretend you don’t need water and nutrition doesn’t matter so you’ll stay the same weight etc. | 673 | A hamburger with everything on it because everything is on it. | 256 | ask |
Is it weird for me (22F) to bring a blanket to the movie theaters? | My parents and I were about to go to the theater to see a REALLY long movie. So I decided i’d bring a blanket in there so I could relax. I’ve seen other people do it, and I thought it be a neat idea. And also it gets cold in there- a jacket doesn’t normally cover enough.
So we were about to go, and then my parents made a big fuss about me bringing it. They made me feel like an alien, like it was the weirdest thing ever. And they made it seem like I was holding everything up. “Come, on. Why are you doing this??”
I didn’t think it was a big deal.
Is it unheard of to bring a blanket to the theaters? | 2,157 | If I saw someone in a blanket I genuinely wouldn't care lmao | 716 | ask |

Dog usually works for me. | 278 | ask |
In your opinion, if you willingly refuse to take the covid vaccine, should you be allowed to go to hospital for treatment, if you catch the virus? | null | 801 | Yes because we are not animals. We treat people even if they are incorrect in their thinking that exposed them to their illness.
We also don’t turn any people that are sick because of their eating habits ,consuming drugs that are harmful ( ie cigarettes/ illegal drugs) , their level of physical fitness.
We as people should believe that medical attention should be available for all that are sick ( or maybe this is just a Canadian thing with socialized medicine and all)
It feels good to our egos to get mad at these people ( and I know I’ve had my moments) but we don’t give into these feelings as a population because it’s not ethical .
For clarification, I’m fully vaccinated and was pro-vaccination long before anyone thought of covid but we cannot treat those that are lost to science like animals.
Edit: thank you for the awards and upvotes, but more importantly thank you people for taking the time to make me feel like I might be on the right track with this line of thinking... Your all awesome!!!
Edit two : I'm not going to answer hypothetical questions cause the answers to those questions are for smarter minds then mine. The dynamics of making health care decisions in a real “ triage event “ are beyond anything I can even imagine and that goes for most of the people in this thread. I would almost guess 100 percent of this thread.
I gave my answer to this question honestly and as clearly as I could. | 525 | ask |

Seeing all the depressed and suicidal posts on Reddit, is it really so bad everywhere? | Ever since I've joined reddit I've seen alot of posts where people are severely depressed and preparing for suicide. Many people having no jobs, people feeling they have no loved ones, people getting abuse etc.
So is it really that bad everywhere in the world and especially the western side?
Im from Pakistan and this country is ranked among the lowest in every type of thing you can name of. From cleanliness to progress, govt corruption to personal corruption, degrading economy to degrading human morals etc. Even own job in health department as a doctor is where I have to use my salary to pay govt's bills without ever getting reimbursed, doing things no other countrys doctor would ever think they'd be made to do. And every field is like this in Pakistan. And still depression is high and jobs are low.
But we here have always thought that it might be better in the west where the justice is better, security is better, economy is better etc (as compared to Pakistan atleast). But seeing reddit posts is really making me worried that is it really so bad everywhere? | 552 | Reddit is not a good mirror to base that conclusion on.
There are way more sad posts because happy people tend to vent less to strangers online | 226 | ask |
What comment got you downvotes like it was raining? | null | 1,527 | I referred to Jeff Bezos as a human rights abuser for placing bathrooms in Amazon warehouses so far away from the workstation that you either need to pee in a bottle or use your lunch break to go to the (actual) bathroom.
Somebody referred to the downvoters as “BezoBots” and I totally agree with that looking back. | 605 | ask |

Men, How do you wipe ? | I’m a male and I have always wiped back to front . I understand that isn’t “normal” but it gets me way cleaner than the other way around . Just wanting a general consensus about this . Surely there are others out there that prefer this method as well. | 636 | 30 grit sandpaper on my belt sander. Usually about 2 minutes or until the bleeding stops | 387 | ask |
People who use neopronouns, why? | I myself am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community as a gay woman, and have several non-binary friends, but all of them use they/them pronouns. In fact, for a portion of my youth (while coming to terms with my sexuality) I also used they/them pronouns until I felt more comfortable in my gender. However, I don't personally know anyone who uses neopronouns, and am genuinely curious about what led you to identifying with your specific pronouns? Do you feel uncomfortable with being referred to as they/them even though they are gender-neutral? Which neopronouns do you use? | 622 | See I come from a place where there is no gender in the language. You'll recognise the person from context. With that said, I 100% don't mind being called they/them if someone does that, which I don't see the point of since I'm obviously a male person. | 136 | ask |
If you could rid the world of ONE thing, WHAT would it be? | null | 972 | Assholes - jerks, not necessarily the body part. | 391 | ask |
Parents of reddit is this a very extreme punishment for the reasoning? | So recently I got grounded because I came home with a painted nails cuz my girlfriend thought it would be fun to paint them as a joke, so I let her. when I got in my father's car he asked me if I had fun and if I enjoyed my self I answered with yes but then I showed him the painted nails and he freaked out saying how it was devil worshipping, gay, sissy like, and many more things (they were painted black). He then proceeded to take my phone away for the rest of the night and have me remove the nail polish. The next morning he ground me for the next three weeks from seeing her. Do you think this was an extreme reaction to me letting her paint my nails? | 800 | It is extreme. Just have her paint your toenails next time. Lol | 427 | ask |
I think I found my brothers girlfriend on a adult website!!!!!! |
So I was casually scrolling through a adult website about to fail nnn when I see a video title called “Who is she” I automatically feel my heart drop when I see the thumbnail because it had what seems to be my brothers girlfriend so I click on the video and surely enough everything matches but I don’t if it’s actually her the video looks like it was recorded secretly I don’t want to show him because I don’t know if it’s her what should I do (I’m being dead serious I legit don’t know what to do) “I forgot to mention the video seems to been have posted this year and she has been with my brother for 2 and a half years and the guy in the video was not my brother so if that’s actually her she cheated”.
(update I showed my brother and he was worried at first but then confirmed that the girl in the video is not his girlfriend but looks very very similar I am glad to hear that and to the people wondering no I did not fail nnn I’m still going strong but most likely gonna fail next week anyways I appreciate the feedback people gave and it gave me a better way how to handle the situation thank you to all the helped and have a nice day) | 522 | Is there a possibility that the bloke is your brother?
Could the camera operator be your brother?
Could it have been filmed a couple of years before it was uploaded?
Do you recognise the location or any furniture or anything?
The answers to these questions and many more can be found out by speaking to your brother.
I advise against speaking to the girlfriend first, as this is dangerous. Source: Columbo. | 132 | ask |

Do you believe in the “Once a cheater always a cheater” philosophy? Why or why not? | null | 707 | Once you cheat, nothing can make that action be undone, so you'll always be branded a cheater. Not to mean that necessarily you'll cheat again. But if you murder one person and don't do it again, does it make you any less of a murderer? | 292 | ask |

What’s your opinion about the Rittenhouse verdict? | No downvoting and be civil | 666 | Here you go:
I have watched the whole Rittenhouse case. The Jury is in deliberation now.
I didn't know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around.
I didn't know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed.
I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois.
I didn't know that Joseph Rosenbaum knocked him down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head. I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard.
I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of firearm, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand.
I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed).
I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do.
I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn't know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also.
IF THE MEDIA DID THEIR JOB... we would ALL have known this. | 639 | ask |
I’m pretty sure my best friend is a manipulative narcissist.. I need advice. Can’t believe she did this.. | So I’m a 25 yo female, recently started working at a bank. This is where I met Lisa. Lisa is 21 years old, a beautiful girl and we vibed immediately. We were the only two girls at the bank who go out of our way to look good and we do get a lot of attention.
We kind of look alike, both have black hair, blue eyes, and we also have a similar body shape, both are busty, wide hips, small waist. She is a little chubbier than me and has a bit of a belly and thicker arms but both the same height (I’m 5’3 she’s 5’3 1/2). You may be thinking, why are these details important- you’ll find out why in a second.
When I first met Lisa, she told me she was Russian.. because I’m middle eastern, I kind of felt a first generation American daughter of immigrants connection. We joked about our immigrant parents’ silly/quirky ways, talked about our language differences, etc. we were inseparable. However, things started taking a turning point. The more I got to know Lisa, the more I started feeling bad about myself..
She would constantly make remarks that sounded mean, but she’d insist she meant it in a sweet way. One time, randomly, she said that she’s taller than me so she appeared thinner and I was “stubby”. I told her that I didn’t really like being called stubby and she kept insisting that she meant it in an adorable way.. bare in mind, she’s only half an inch taller than me but she weighs about 180 and I weigh 140. I have no fat around my waist or arms but she does.
Whenever we’d be around a group of guys, she’d constantly show them embarrassing videos of me, and laugh as if she’s just joking. I’ve told her many times that I didn’t like when she does that and she’d keep saying that she’d stop.. but she never did.
She’d always act like we were competing over these men.. and would be super aggressive about it.. even though I genuinely was not competing. She loves black men and hates white men. I love white men and whenever there’d be a white guy who would hit on me, she’d get aggressively sexual with him (while her bf is at home).. and because I don’t do that in the first interaction, the guy would then turn his attention to her. She’d take his number and never call him, and then talk about how ugly he was and how she was just “messing around” when hitting on him.
Another time I felt off was when we were watching a movie that had nothing to do with middle Eastern women. She turned and looked at me randomly and said, “I think middle Eastern women are ugly,”. Again- I’m middle Eastern and she knows that. I didn’t argue with her because I felt like maybe she was saying these things because she felt insecure and I felt bad for her, so I let her win that one. It still hurt my feelings that my friend said something like that to me, but whatever.
A few weeks later we were going to go to her family’s thanksgiving. While we were getting ready, she confessed that she wasn’t Russian of the daughter of immigrants. The entire time she was confessing, she was laughing hysterically as if it was just a “stupid prank”..
the issue, however, is that it didn’t seem that way. She didn’t just lie to me, she lied to our entire company, her boyfriend, every guy we’d run into, etc. she even learned the language to come off more convincing 🤦🏻♀️
I found out she lied because she wanted to come off as “exotic” and “foreign”, not “boring and white” (her words not mine). She only confessed the truth because I was meeting her very redneck family of Irish and polish descent. It felt kinda weird but I wasn’t mad, I was more shocked.
Her backhanded compliments, lies, talking badly about me to our other friend Carlie (who she admitted she didn’t like because Carlie gets more attention than her) continued for months.. until one day I couldn’t take it anymore and confronted her about it. She gaslit me and denied everything.. even after I promised her I wouldn’t get upset if she just is open and honest with me. She insisted it was all in my head and got aggressive with me. Started yellling horrible things at me, like how I deserved my ex breaking my shoulder- and when I started to walk away crying, she started laughing hysterically like a psychopath.
Jump to a few months later, a few weeks ago I felt bad losing her as a friend and tried to reconnect with her. She insisted I apologize and I did. She then invited me to her bday party.. when I got there, there were 20 dudes I didn’t know. I walked in on her playing those same embarrassing videos of me from before.. she says come on in we’re watching you act stupid.
While they all laughed, I was visibly uncomfortable and upset. She didn’t really care and kept going. Again, after trying to talk to her about it, I was gaslit.

Ladies, what does it feel like to wear a pad on your periods? | EDIT: I never expected so many answers on this post, thank you all. I also never realized that periods could be this unpleasant. I’m all the more amazed by how people experience all this and yet carry on with their regular lives and I haven’t even considered the other aspects like cramps, as some of you have pointed out. | 807 | It's okay at first, just after you put it on in the right place and it's not had anything to absorb. Not long later it's hell. Gets all messed up and in the wrong places, rustles, can be seen through clothes, very hard to tell when to change without going to a bathroom and checking but if your in a social environment then you don't want to do that too often or people will get confused. Nothing better than at the end of a period removing a pad and finally having space to breathe. | 214 | ask |

Should women be able to be topless in public? | Recently saw a video of some band playing and One of the bandmembers was a woman and she wore a mesh shirt but without a bra.
All the commons were criticizing her and saying that’s inappropriate but honestly I don’t see boobs as a sexual thing at all.
I’m not American.
I’m from Europe so maybe it’s a cultural difference.
But I wanted to know should women be able to be topless in public like men.
Of course I know a lot of women wouldn’t want to do that even if it were legal because harassment.
But honestly I wouldn’t care if women were out and about without a bra or shirt because I wouldn’t harass them over that.
So yeah should women Be able to be topless and braless in public like men?
I know a lot of dudes probably will say yes just because then they get to stare at boobs but I would actually like serious answers. | 1,355 | Should they? Well, if men can do it and it’s viewed as completely normal, so should women.
It just takes a massive amount of unlearning/reframing boobs as not inherently sexual or immodest. Chests on women are just fleshier than men in general. | 350 | ask |
A college kid called me “mommy” | I was walking down the street and a car full of college boys drove by. One of them leaned out the window and yelled “mommy!” at me. I’m a 37 year old woman. I’m not up to date with the current slangs of kids. What did that mean? Should I be offended?
****Edit*****
I mean “offended” with a grain of salt. Obviously it was disrespectful, no matter what it means. But I’m not obsessing over it or anything. Ultimately, I was just curious what it meant.
Also, this boy was a white kid from the Midwest. He wasn’t saying “Mami”. I would have understood that connotation.
I’ve been heartened by all the good people out there who understand cat calling to be a form of harassment. I’ve been cat called since 5th grade and it can be scary. It can make you feel vulnerable and violated. I’m glad to see so many young men who get that. The world has a lot of good in it ☺️ | 1,369 | He was expressing the fact he found you sexually desirable. he was attracted to you. he was not a gentleman i will say lol.

Sometimes I hear my parents having sex. Should I tell them? | Some nights I can hear them doin the deed. At first it was traumatizing, then the next couple of times it was just like bro Ion wanna hear this shit anymore.

is my name racist? | Hi! Basically, I came outta the womb looking like a ghost (well, technically a smurf at first, but thats another story) and my dad, being the neo-nazi he is, decided my middle name should be Aryanna, derived from Aryan.

I keep hearing Morse code... Is there a reason for this? | More specifically, I am in bed cuddling with my toddler as they were having a fussy morning. I put my head down on the pillow and I start to hear a faint. "Dah dah di dah" beeping noise followed by a pause and then it repeats. When lift my head up, I cannot hear it anymore
Is it tinnitus? Is there some electronic that I can faintly hear? Does my neighbor have an underground bunker and is sending out the Morse code for Q because he is in Qanon? I'm so confused as to why I'm hearing the beeping | 532 | Do you have re-Morse for anything from your past? It’s your past catching up with you | 245 | ask |

You could be an average guy, but when other women saw you with a hot girl it made you desirable. It was about competition and the other girls wondering why she was with you. | 255 | ask |
What is your most controversial parenting opinion? | null | 1,148 | That children should be taught the correct/scientific names for their body parts. It freaks a lot of parents (and non-parents) out to imagine a 5yo say 'vagina', but teaching them words like 'cookie' or 'foofoo' just creates a sense of shame and weirdness around their own anatomy. Plus, if they (god forbid) get abused, it can be extremely difficult to get places to take a disclosure seriously if the kid says 'he/she licked my cookie', for example.
Edit: I did mean to say 'vagina' and not 'vulva' because of a personal experience I had as a child wherein I had shooting pains going up my vagina but I hadn't the vocabulary to describe it. All I could say was that my bum hurt and that...wasn't accurate. | 1,022 | ask |
