How is "strict" a compliment in any way unless you're into BDSM?

Yeah it smells of BDSM. Maybe it is his awkward way of showing what kind of girls he likes (the strict kind).

Still sounds rather innocent though. But I am not into Tinder and all that stuff...so I don't know shit.

Like, I'm going to go on Tinder and match up with people and open with:

"I like your pictures, you look very severe and sturdy, is that okay?"

and see what responses I get.

there could be a perference for that look without actually wanting bdsm and at least he's asking if she considers it a compliment (or he could be fishing to see if she's into bdsm)


the "turned on" part is what i'd be most concerned about

And then your second message should be: "Send nudes."

Nothing will go wrong.

I mean, at least the guy is making his intentions clear, I guess it's actually decent of him in a sense

BTW I need a new shower head. help.

It's nothing to be concerned about. It's a clear declaration of intent. You're either in it for the same reason or you're not

Mullholland Drive > porn

IIRC it's basically the same thing

Just found out that Béatrice Martin composed the soundtrack for Child of Light and performed some songs on it.

I'm done, I'm fucking done.

Time to get on Tinder and drown my sorrows in strange.

sometimes i wonder if we speak the same language. by "most concerned about" i was saying its the thing to pay the most attention to. "concerned with/about", in american english at least, can simply mean what you're focused on

you're a really bad troll. you know that?

Being concerned about something means you're worried about it. You can say "concerning" to mean what you mean, (e.g. "Concerning Hobbits") but "concerned" means something different.

I wasn't aware I was trolling

Hey guys, what I miss on my day away from the Internet?

Misha and Jobbs fighting, me thristing, Vaz being wonderful, Trab matching with an increasingly weird hockey fan on Tinder, Dragonz finding a new love for Yara, RNH being a bit gay, HP having doubts about his kickstarter... Transhuman having a perfect video response for every post... hmm... that's the only recollection I have tbh.

"concerning" uses the root concern which can indeed be used that way

thesaurus.com said:
concerned with
as in occupying
as in touch
absorbing

Common Informal
Synonyms for concerned with
adj engaging attention
absorbing, attracting, drawing, engaging, engrossing, exacting, exciting, focusing, interesting, monopolizing, requiring, utilizing

"about" doesn't seem to have nearly the references online but it is definitely used and tbf its more often to be used negatively but if you're looking for an exclusively negative phrase that would be "concerned by"

I've never heard anyone say "I'm concerned about this guy" and not have it mean they're worried about the guy. Not once. So maybe we are speaking different languages or it's regional.

Sorry if my response was agitating :D

I wouldn't concern yourself too much with Jobbs being wrong, you'd never have any free time if you did

"Concern with" and "concerning" are different from "concerned about".. 0/10

If you think "I'm concerned about the animals outside" means you're just thinking about them and not at all worried, then I don't know what to tell you
 
It's the first. To be "concerned about" is the exact same as to be "worried about."

And as the Official Arbiter of the English Language, I declare this fruitless debate closed.

think of it more of "i'm going to pay close attention to". usually the implication is worry but not necessarily.
(but i still would have been better off saying "with" than "about" since with is way more common in that way)

the more annoying thing btw is you cherry picking the definition when every dictionary has more options than just worry :p

But you're 100% wrong. You said this:

the "turned on" part is what i'd be most concerned about

And hten claimed it meant you're paying attention to that part but not worried about it.

Uh??

sorry Em. I recognize the ridiculousness of it but I hate being referred to as wrong when I'm not, it's a flaw

if someone argues me on something like this and proves themselves right, I'll admit they're right and concede defeat. This literally happened the other day ITT.

Do you remember how this exchange started? You said the part I posted, I rightly took it to mean "worried about", and then you said we speak two different languages. That's the whole reason we're talking about this.

Anyway, I think you're trolling now, TBH, so I'll drop it

I've been screwing around with lucid dreaming on and off for a bit. Takes a lot of focus but it's been pretty useful for working through shit like social anxiety. Back in the day I only used it to build stuff and give myself super powers.

Remember that time I sat through The Devil's Hand for Goddess Alycia

Movie was shit but I did what had to be done

Damn, that puts things in perspective lol

Same but because of Gaspard Ulliel.

I just feel like I should probably do something like that more because I want to improve myself, rather than a silly celebrity crush on a gay woman from Montreal.

Legit though I really like learning French so it worked out.
