2. "I live on my own right now and she saw my room and said it is an instant red flag."
3. It's mildly infuriating when the delivery guy takes that photo of the delivered package and includes your bare legs in the picture. Presumably, you were wearing shorts.

There was a time when a woman looked at a man’s life, saw how she could improve it, and knew how she could be valuable to him. Now anything less than her dream board vision is a “red flag” and immediate grounds to move on.
Instead of towers they should've made lanterns.
This post explains why I rarely look at Reddit anymore.
Happy birthday, Ann Arbor Althouse.
We all love you!
The bone pile reminds me of the holocaust rememberence displays that every town in America above 100k in population seems to have.
It's our host's birthday? I missed that!
Happy birthday, Althouse! Maybe this will be the year that my autocorrect recognizes that I type "Althouse" far more often than "Although"!
On the subject of this post: I haven't read Reddit in years because I figured - I suppose based on the threads I dipped into - it was just where meddlers and fabulists hang out. But if Althouse is deriving content from it...
I tell them “I have to take a picture” as I hand the package to them. It’s up to them to decide how the photo shoot goes down.
Yah the fact there’s a - what? A ‘bucket’, a ‘basket’ of red flags? ready to be deployed at their respective infractions…I mean men have them, too but is this the best approach to engagement with a potential partner? Perhaps the gentleman has desires for better living conditions he’ll address when the right partner materializes? Here we’ll never find out…
Ya know you don’t have an obligation to greet them at the door, they’ll leave it on the stoop. Hence the photo…
We all love you!
Well, let’s say red flags have been thrown…Happy Birthday, though..:
ah the poor babies.
Try living in a third world county where you don't even make a dollar month - and you're trying not to die of diarrhea.
"I live on my own right now and she saw my room and said it is an instant red flag."
I once brought a date to my apartment where the coffee table was a Gateway Computer box, the end table was an overturned laundry basket and the ironing board was a metal filing cabinet.
Twenty-five years later, she shockingly continues to ignore the red flags.

When you read a comment and know that spam will be coming soon.
Happy Birthday ! And all the best returns.
why would you not want your jaw?
Let the record reflect that it was the Legs lady that chose to post the delivery picture for the world to see. The picture that was only meant to tell her where to find her package in her property.
I don't know if Amazon keeps those pictures longer that they have to be kept. I do know, as a delivery guy, that once I "Swipe to Finish", the picture is gone from the app.
Unless I screenshot it because I'm weird or something?
Never mind...
Tag this woman presumably in shorts.
Scrolling thru Reddit...the sacrifices you make for us.
HAPPY Birthday!
There is also an option on the app for the costumer to sign to receive their package. For some reason, however, not all deliveries make that option available.

Without objection, counsel.
You say it's your birthday...
Happy Birthday to you...
If the guy had a perfectly decorated place, wouldn't that also be a red flag?
Those legs do not make me think of ZZ Top. Yeesh.
"When you read a comment and know that spam will be coming soon."
Ha ha. I read that after I'd already moved it to spam.
Thanks for the birthday wishes but remember, the bloggiversary is in 2 days.
No mandibles in that tower, just slivers. Creepy, nevertheless. I didn’t known Koreans were self-conscious about their jawlines. I wonder what ethnicity they’re hoping to look like post surgery. Norwegian?
Fun fact: Some human mandibles are racially diagnostic, particularly the Polynesian jawbone compared to a Nordic European. Back in the 1930s, German researchers were paid handsomely to measure human skulls looking for an anatomical description of the Aryan racial type. Among the trivia they documented was the observation that the jawbone of a Polynesian male who died in the 16th century, i.e. before any likely interbreeding with Europeans, will not sit flat on a level surface. Take that as an object lesson in government-financed science. It tends to discover exactly what the government expects and builds policy on, like that bogus minimum wage research out of UC Berkeley that Newsom boasts about. It’s pretty obvious the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers didn’t affect employment, if you only survey restaurants still in business.
Known. That’s what happens when you hunt and peck on an iPad while in bed with the flu.
Others have said it before, but this guy--Jeff Childers--is one of the best. I highly recommend subscribing (free if you don't want to comment). Entertaining and thought-provoking. And funny.
Not sure why the link didn't post. coffeeandcovid@substack.com
they do not look like shavings - they look like whole hunks and chunks ..
Makes me think - fake.
I managed to seduce a woman while I was living in a walk up studio "apartment", furnished in 80s era Broke Student. We had our 40th last September.
Happy Birthday, Ann Althouse! Hope it's warm enough out to enjoy all the cool things.

There was a meme where some smart alec made a complete living room set out of Gateway boxes. I can't get Google AI to find it, though. CC, JSM

They want their jaw line to conform to preferred head shape.
It is easier to remove jaw for women than it is to add jawline to men which is a standard testosterone marker. Women generally prefer an oval shaped face with even forehead and jaw proportions.
Happy Birthday, Althouse!
My father would be celebrating his 100th birthday today if he were alive.
Happy Birthday!

What's an ironing board?

First glance I thought it was a home dungeon out of 50 shades of Grey.
That might be a red flag to some women but there seem to be a huge number for whom it would be a tirnon

If it is a millionaire who is at least 6 feet tall then it is a turn on.
For everyone else it is an HR violation.
Happy Birthday Althouse.
Reddit commenters are so dopey they make Althouse’s dopey commenters seem like geniuses.
Prole - no one is as genius as you.
Pro tip: Assuming you have a double or a queen size bed, put a king size blanket or comforter (or both) so she knows you’re looking ahead to when you’re married and not just looking for a one night stand. It also helps greatly to de-clutter, vacuum floors and rugs, wash annd put anway dishes, empty trash cans, and clean the bathroom before you go on a date that might possibly finish at your apartment.
Doing all that will turn off a woman who isn’t looking for a long term relationship, but I was never interested in that kind anyway.
@Althouse, happy birthday. Don’t forget that if Zeke Emanuel had had his way back during the Obama administration you’d be reporting today for euthanasia.
Happy birthday, young lady.
no one is as genius as you
A mean feat in these parts I assure you.
john mosby,
Those Gateway boxes were big and firm, and you kept them in case you send the computer back (how? I don't know. It was my first PC.)
why would you not want your jaw?
Korean women can have pretty prominent jaws. My cousin was married to one who wasn't quite Jay Leno but had more of a jaw than most men, pretty much as prominent as her nose. They prefer a soft rounded look or a dainty V-shaped jaw. They also have rather stubby noses and flat faces overall. Cosmetic surgery over there is huge. Eyelid surgery too, to make them look more Western and less Asian. They are also perfectly obsessed with staying out of the sun and keeping their skin as close to white as possible.
My daughter is obsessed with K-Pop boy bands and keeps me informed on such things.
“Reddit commenters are so dopey they make Althouse’s dopey commenters seem like geniuses.“
Can confirm.
No televisions belong in the bedroom.
It must really súck to make it to Heaven and then find out that redistricting has put you in Hell after all.
"Decorative tower in South Korean plastic surgery clinic made from the jawbones of patients who received plastic surgery for jawline reduction."
If Winston Churchill actually said, "Jaw Jaw is better than War War," it was because he never actually met that guy.
Here’s a dopey Reddit post. link
My comment over there. “Tell me if I got this right. ICE is shopping local and you want to punish local businesses for helping fuel the local tax base needed for all those child care programs that illegal aliens are raiding $ and sending $ back to Somalia? How are frauds supposed to keep going without that tax base?”
Happy Birthday, Althouse.
The mandibles are a bit creepy but, in the context of being a lot of them and in a surgeon's office, not that much.
It serves as a good advertising and calming once you get over the creepiness. It says "Don't deal with an amateur surgeon who's only done a few of these procedures. I've done thousands, I know what I am doing and you are in safe hands."

I don’t think my comment is going to survive the censors over there. I’m going to keep checking. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it does survive.
#1, Pick D and you're probably coming back as a penguin.
#3, She looks like whatever she's wearing is even shorter than 2" inseam hot pants!
Althouse built us a tower, a short tower, but a tower nonetheless. Anybody speaking in other languages other than English in tribute, since it’s Althouse birthday and all.
The Korean aesthetic favors v shaped chins and narrow faces -- for a more refined appearance. Men and women want to appear more feminine.
In the US people do facial exercises and buy devices you put inside your mouth and bite on to develop a more pronounced chisled jawline.
I’ll stay away from the Korean labia reduction center.
Happy birthday, Althouse!
If I went to the labia reduction center I would never be able to eat calamari again.
I don’t think my comment is going to survive the censors
I was still able to find it.
I finally looked at the guy's bedroom. I would think a woman would like many things about it: clean; not messy; interested in health and fitness; saving money by having his own relatively cheap workout gear; actually uses it because he has a TV there to watch during workouts; must be saving money on rent or mortgage because the place is so small he has to put his workout gear in his bedroom; TV on a movable rig to avoid holes in the wall; general lack of stuff on walls means she can remake the place in her style when she moves in; or end lease/sell up to someplace bigger with all the money he's saving.

"I was still able to find it."
Yeah, still up. And nobody has taken the bait, to engage I mean, because it's a trap, and they probably spotted it.
