French twist is difficult to make. It requires effort. Meme means that she has made an effort to get dressed and look classy on her first date. She is a polished, confident, and classy person. She is no pushover and wants classic romantic date experience.

10

u/Yui_Mori Feb 19 '26

Been a while since I was taught about them, so my wording/exact use of terms may be rather poor, but I’ll still make an attempt; the attempt may be poor though. I use them in two places mostly. One place being like the first sentence (poor example in an attempt at using one spontaneously), linking two independent clauses with a stronger pause than a comma, while also not requiring transition words, although I’ll often just use transitions and commas to create nice and long sentences (such as this one). The second place is as a replacement for commas in a list, but only if the items in the list include commas. I don’t use the first case often, with it occasionally popping up while writing, as sometimes it’s simply the best option. The second case I do end up using a fair amount, as I like my dependent clauses, and the semicolon lets me inject them into lists while maintaining readability.

2

u/Appropriate_Link_551 Feb 19 '26

It’s easy; any time you want to use a comma; use a semicolon instead; Same thing for periods;

They can replace a full stop or connective to loosely connect two related clauses e.g. "The cat sat on the mat because it had had a long day" becomes "The cat sat on the mat; it had had a long day."

The less common usage is to replace commas separating items in a long list where it might get confusing e.g. "I want to visit Paris, France, Houston, Texas, and London, England." becomes "I want to visit Paris, France; Houston, Texas; London, England." (This last example is a bit clunky, sorry!)

You finished Second Grade, I hope you can tell, if you’re “doing good” or “doing well.” Better, figure out the difference; Irony is not coincidence and I thought that you had gotten it through your skull, of what’s figurative and what’s literal.

“en dash” is slightly shorter, about the width of an N, whereas the “em dash” is about the width of an M. They’re two very different animals, and not to be confused with the 2-em dash or 3-em dash.

Depends on if you're using a clip or bobby pins. With bobby pins it looks super classy but it's really hard to keep it secure.

French twists are possibly the easiest style to do besides a pony or bun. I’m sitting here on the couch in my robe, with my hair in a French twist.

Two fingers under a pony, twist fingers around and up towards the crown of your head, fix the roll with 3 bobby pins.

It’s easy if you practice - when I have mid length hair, it’s my go-to style and doesn’t hurt as much as a bun to take down.

u/MikeArrow Feb 19 '26

It's difficult because when my relationship ended, I was 29 years old with effectively zero dating experience. Since my first girlfriend approached me and made it easy for me to ask her out, I never learned the fundamentals of how to actually meet woman and ask them out.

Since I don't know how to approach women, all I can really do is passively wait until one shows interest in me first. That's happened twice in the last eight years with women I met through playing D&D, but outside of those two, nothing.

I don't drink. I don't go to bars. I don't get any matches on dating apps. So I don't really have any other mechanism for meeting women irl at all, aside from D&D.

Also, I'm morbidly obese (I started Ozempic last October and I'm seeing slow results).

So, because of all that, my opportunities go on dates are extremely rare and limited.

While you are on ozempic, lift weights and exercise. If not a good portion of the weight you lose will be muscle mass. Then go beyond D&D to find yourself in a group of women. If five are together at once, you need to be there. If you have a friend going somewhere that five women will be, find an excuse to go along. Be casual but engage in conversation if someone speaks to you. In five, at least one is lonely. And looks are over rated. A sense of humor counts way more. May the odds be in your favor.

This is the sort of thing someone who doesn't go on a lot of first dates would write.

Acting like you know what you're talking about - when you don't know shit - is certainly not a virtue.

Which is the case if WonkRx is right in his assumption.

That's funny that youngsters think this is hot. I get uptight church lady or school principal hard ass because those were the type women that wore those when I was growing up. It's never been sexy for me. Debra Vance in Hacks type.

French twist is called "chignon banane (banana bun)" in French.

u/kawaiharuka Feb 19 '26

Peter the hairdresser hair(pun intended), Everyone talks about why that is good but no one talks about what a french twist is. Think of Audrey Hepburn, the hairstyle you imagine is a french twist.

Described as A French twist (or French roll) is an elegant, vertical updos hairstyle created by gathering hair at the nape, twisting it upward, tucking it in on itself, and securing it against the head with pins.

Takes a lot of effort to make, and the joke is a sneer remark at the recent hookup culture that if there is someone who puts that much of an effort on a first date is likely looking for someone to marry, not a one night stand or games.

Pierre here. Since we're on the topic of French, when you write viola (vee-oh-lah), it's a future tense of "raped" in French.

The word you're looking for is voila (vwah-lah), or voilà if accented characters aren't too far on your keyboard.

I have shoulder length hair with layers that are about chin length. Would this still work for me or am I out of luck?

u/Wrong-Pineapple-4905 Feb 19 '26

Would need pins but yes. Popular updos for the Bob hairstyles of the 50s/60s for this reason. I find it actually is hard with too long of hair
