The crux here is that you want to protect your loved ones from being manipulated, but at the same time you don't want to cross a boundary and try to control another adult's love life. When the 47-year-old boyfriend was coming over to stay for a week, this guy decided to ask some questions. Like many other tense social situations, the internet weighed in on if that was the right thing to do.

An AskReddit user provided a comprehensive breakdown on why men apparently don't enjoy fictional romances as much as women. This might answer some questions that guys didn't know they had. 

Casting can get too brutal when they're looking for a particular type. You've gotta be confident in yourself to have a role people would describe as "tired lady giving birth" or "slack-jawed psychopath 2." For the majority of us who aren't ridiculously photogenic, this would be our reality in Hollywood too.

Twitter user @tillytortellini, is going viral for his impressive pasta making abilities. You might say the pasta-bilities are endless. As far as strategies to impress your Tinder date go, this guy easily just shot up to legendary status for what he put together. 

Call it a lack of self-awareness or whatever but the internet is teeming with people who are convinced that they not only have the facts, but are of genius level intelligence. They put people down, make everything about themselves, and completely ruin jokes. There's just a whole lot of smart-tastic brain lords whose self-importance knows no bounds.

Someone on AskReddit asked for food workers to divulge their tips for what menu items customers would be served well to avoid. Apparently the baked cod at Long John Silvers is a whole steaming mess of bad news. 

This dad is facing some serious backlash on Twitter after he said that he didn't need to respect his kid's privacy, because he provides for them. What a load of BS. If he's trying to ensure that they act out and generally want nothing to do with him, he's on the right track. 

Prepare for your bones to literally gyrate in response to the overwhelming levels of cringe. This guy came on way too strong, when a simple and chill introduction could've worked way better. You live and you learn. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for dipping into his savings, and dropping $5K on a surgery for his dog without asking his partner about it first. Sounds like she went ballistic upon realizing that he didn't run his decision by her first. 

We'll never understand people who can tolerate themselves being a gross inconvenience to the people around them. Knowing that your feet smell and refusing to put your shoes on on a plane is some trashy behavior. This guy pulled the ol' switcheroo on ol' stinkfoot. We're fans of sweet revenge, like this guy who shut his telemarketers down in person.

We're back at it again with a fresh round of rare insults that are creative as they are savage. Even if you're on the receiving end of a savage insult, there's a strange appreciation that can pop up when someone just nails their insult. 

Twitter user @grady_hendrix, tells a terrifying story about a mysterious man literally living inside of their houses's vents. Can you imagine going down to the kitchen for a little midnight snack, seeing the outline of a dude eating at your kitchen counter, losing your sh*t, and having nobody believe you? It sounds just like the start to every bone-chilling horror movie. 

We get that all the promotions are annoying, but it's just someone's job and you don't have to go out of your way to make someone's job harder. And if in fact you are a jackass about it, don't go trusting them with your movie-going experience. In rare moments in customer service, waiters and servers deliver clapbacks as well.

He really got her with the, "your mouth sounds like it's falling down the stairs" comment. Ouch. This entitled nightmare expected the guy to break up with his girlfriend for her. Not only that, but her general grasp on personal space seems to be nonexistent. Run for the hills, buddy.
