I name every octopus I crochet "Jeffery", and the ones without eyes/ones whose eyes are falling out are called "Eyeless Jeffery". When people name their creations, it brings me pure joy because I feel like I’m the only one who do it.
@@BeeWhistler I think OP just confused Dustin’s reference to “The Irishman,” thinking the guy was actually Irish. “The Irishman” is a movie about a hitman who is Irish, but he worked for an Italian American crime family. Dustin was definitely referring to the movie to say the bf sounded like he was part of the mafia, not that he was Irish lol
My hirsute, very masculine 32 yr old son was suddenly hospitalized with a serious illness. When the nursing staff came in & he was in the hospital gown, they couldnt help but burst out laughing at his feet. His big toenails were painted like cartoon characters & the rest were brightly colored to match. Turns out that when my lovely, creative daughter-in-law runs out of her own nails, she practices on his. 😂🤣 I love my family. ❤
I hope he's OK. May I ask what hirsute means? Usually I would Google this but it's fine up the creek with AI and I tend to understand humans easier with their layman's terms.
@@Roadent1241 Hirsutism is basically hair overgrowth. In men it usually portrays as them being very um, hairy, in women it may show on face making a beard. Often paired with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
guy 1 is hilarious. I love him. So much. He's the exact kinda man I want to be. Incredibly AGGRESSIVELY LOVING. with ZERO threat behind it. ZERO Threat. ALL LOVE.
Sir, I just found your channel thank you for making me laugh, cry, and be irritated! Seriously I’m dealing with health issues and your commentary is brilliant. Be well everyone and be kind. From an old chick.
Someone pointed out in the original short that he could have sussed it out from the cake being green (blue+yellow) that she meant to make a blue cake, but that he didn't and instead put the action back in her hands with the berries. 😢 he's a really good dude
My dad wore tie dye every day of his life until the day he passed. He'd even wear "girl" colors like pink. We dressed him in tie dye for his final outfit.
I think that's perfect. A lot of times we tend to pick more formal clothes for our loved ones when it's time to send them off, but I think most people would be happiest being dressed how they liked to dress in life.
my dad loved tie-dye too!! his urn was made by a ceramicist friend of the family, who beautifully painted it to look like it’s tie-dyed 💜 i bet our dads are kicking it together at whatever sweet concert series is currently playing in the afterlife 💕
My great grandad, who was not known to be a very sentimental guy and never very vocal about his feelings, held hands with my great grandma and teared up as they watched the planting of a golden rowan tree that he'd arranged for their gold wedding anniversary (50 years). It was so sweet.
@@jaywoofit it also suggests too that rather than true cold undiscussed live changing surprises there had been some talk recently about getting a dog where they both confirmed they wanted one at this point in their lives, so the other thought "I'm gonna get them a puppy!"
@MoonShadowWolfe there is this fun little thing called 'context' that you should try learning about. Given that she argues bacj, its pretty obvious she knows how he is like and doesn't really mind it or fear him. He isn't using 'force', its a debate on how to handle things.
Yeah, and she likely knew after frosting it. Dude just didn't put 2 and 2 together. He might've after that, but the berry solution is super cute.@@recoveringsoul755
I love the first interaction so much. He wants to go out with her and he doesn't mind looking like she is paying for him AND additionally, he wants her to do what she likes and is ready to support her. "You want to take me out and if you need money for it here is my card". He is super secure and is ready to pay to let her "save face". I know it was just a test but he clearly shows he would gladly be her arm candy for an outing he secretly pays for. He is just happy to go out with her. C:
The way he’s looking at her baffled like “can you not see.. you? How it’s impossible for me to choose anyone but you? Who put this strange question in your mind?”
That one family making their kids a whole fast food drive thru is so sweet. I remember when I was younger, my uncle used to play this game with my me, my sisters, and my cousins, where he was the server at a restaurant. The restaurant only served gross foods and drinks, like octopus eyeballs and camel spit. We’d laugh so hard at the ridiculousness of it all. Then he’d bring out empty paper plates, and he’d wobble and trip, pretending to spill all our food just to make us laugh. When your kids are young, it’s so important to show them just how much you love them. That’s what they’ll remember.
Something is wrong with you. If your partner wants to go home, don't bully them with angry shouting into staying. Don't shove unwanted money at them that's actually just a demand to stay in public and say it should make them happy. What the fuck is the 'compliment' in that? He gave not one shit how he was making her feel. I hope she got out of that awful relationship, and seeing all of you think you saw something sweet is hell.
@@MoonShadowWolfethey weren't even in public? I mean I myself wouldn't feel great about it bc I don't wanna feel like a mooch, but guys do all seem to not fucking care lol. I would prefer a more sedate reaction, but again she knows him, feels safe enough with him to prank him. I agree there's some mini flags, but I don't think they're enough to condemn anybody from a min long clip, without knowing them.
@@StonedtotheBones13 This is just your average New Yorker (most likely Staten Islander). There are no flags here its legitimately just a cultural thing.
I took have ADHD and a babysitter mocked my clothes when I was about 9 "there's too much going on,too many colours,you look stupid". I've only just recently stopped colour blocking my entire outfit. I was 37 (now 40) and it feels good my guy. People are weird 💁🏻♀️
The fact that stuff like that sticks with kids well into adulthood should be a wake up call to adults to be kinder. I can relate to that a lot between my dad and my ex-fiance. I'm 31 now and it's taken me about seven years to undo what my ex did to me (or at least most of it. Gonna be stuck with PTSD for a while I think). But I'm happier in my own skin. I feel freer. And I feel like ME. Weird how when you wear masks for so long and you finally take them off how much you realize you've missed about everything and even yourself. It really does cost nothing to be kind, yet costs everything to be cruel or mean.
Good for you for wearing what you want! It’s never too late for that!! I am proud of you too! I am also ADHD and I’m sitting at work in a red t shirt, shorts that have t-Rexs surfing on them, Christmas socks, and blue crocks (I’m able to dress casual at my job) Life is too short not to express yourself! Be comfortable, be confident, and most importantly BE YOU!! 🤩🤩🤩
4:05 I have painted my husband's nails purple. He has also worn a pink shirt with pink bows in his beard. He is 100% ok with wearing a skirt. He doesn't care at all. Love that man
@@silvergirl7810 lol he has done worse. I have tried to find where my husband draws the line but honestly doubt he has a line at this point. "Would you dress in drag?" "Yeah" "even with a Corset?" "Sure." "And Fishnet leggings?" "Why not." "Makeup and glitter?" "If you put it on for me, I'm down." Would you try just a Speedo?" "I can handle it, can you?" Man has No hesitation, no embarrassment, just no Fs to give.
Painting my nails is such a huge confidence booster for me. I started out black to test the waters before moving on to brighter colours and growing my nails longer. It also helped me stop biting them While I've never done my own, I've let a few people use my face to practice with some makeup haha Society says a whole lot of nonsense sometimes. Do whatever makes you happy
@@darabounds6671He's a keeper for sure. My spouse has tails and horns and sets of ears they wear in public. My spouse is also non binary so I get to do their makeup every so often and my spouse has skirts and corsets. We both do and dress up for events. It's so fun to have someone to dress up with.
I like how adept he is a wrangling little boys. It's clear he doesn't describe caring for his kids as "baby-sitting." He's not a dad who's just a "fun parent." He's an authority figure, but not authoritarian -- a delicate balance. It was fun watching the gears whirl, click, and finally engage. Ya gotta admit, he was 100% right at every step. Obviously, he was rightest at the end, though!
Yo I thought at first ofc he wants to see her because I'm assuming she is his wife and is attracted to her and for him to take the second to think oh wait what if she feels uncomfortable about this and step back is a good thing but like it should just be the norm right? I am a guy and I am with a guy so I will never have this specific experience but I would assume if I was with a lady and had a child that that would be a lot on her and how she feels about her body with all of the changes over the past 9months and possibly forever if surgical intervention is required so I mean I can empathize but again I think that should be normal to just listen to what somone feels comfortable with. Heck even in like social situations people have anxieties or things like sensory issues so I think it's good to be aware of people's boundaries. He is kinda adorable in his little confused thing he has going on though lol.
@@ChazzleDazzleVideos Yeah, whether you're gay or not, your logic is impeccable. It _should_ be the norm. Sadly, it's not. There are a lot of guys who don't understand, or choose not to respect, a woman's self-consciousness and wish for privacy. I used to go with a guy who ridiculed me for not liking to dress in front of him. I always felt he was judging me, whether he said anything ("You gained some weight over the holidays, didn't you?" in a warning voice) or not.
@@ChazzleDazzleVideos He was clearly confused to why she would ask him to step out. Most likely she is dealing with some mental issues about her body after giving birth again, but by him first saying he was staying and then still respecting her wishes he showed her that he doesn't really care about that. Which is exactly the thing she needs to hear.
9:28 my younger brother used to wear dresses when he was four. My dresses from when I was little. My parents didn’t say a thing about it- and it makes me happy to this day. He doesn’t wear dresses anymore, but he likes when I paint his nails and does makeup on him.
@@DustinPoynterVideos hi! I promise I'm getting a good people aren't dead shirt for my husband (he deserves one ❤) but my car needs a repair so it'll be middle of next month now. Order coming soon!
Once, I bought a bunch of clothes. I was super excited about it and one particular shirt I got was a shirt with a tiny teddy bear holding a teddy bear. I thought it was really cute and I was super excited for it to come. When I opened it and excitedly showed my parents, my mom said, “I’m sorry, but that shirt is a p3dofiles dream.” And “I can imagine a p3dofile dressing up a kid in that.” It wasn’t a tight fitting shirt or cropped or anything. It rotted in the back of my closet. The comment about “it’s not how clothes look, it’s about how they feel” is so real. I just needed someone to back me up while I was getting into my style and that comment said by my mom (someone who I look up to a lot when it comes to clothes) completely destroyed me.
@@Lulph I second this! Alternatively you could turn it into a pillow or a bunch of other house items to make use of what sounds like a genuinely adorable design!
The way the green flag was thrown down for the last one cracked me up. Nice to see the support for her creations. Also loved the double pupper surprise, I hope they kept both of them.
😭😭 I have laid in bed crying tears of happiness so hard for about 10 minutes because I know that both me and my wife (we’re lesbians) have our traumas from the past, and we help each other through times where it hurts us 😭😭 I love her so freaking much!!!
the second last one with the gender reveal always has me tearing up with the “i tried my best” like they are so cute and she did try her best and her best was great i love them
One of my brothers (13 years older than me) was big on the chivalry rules but lacking in execution when it came to little sis. If I started to walk on the outside of the sidewalk he’d grab my arm and slingshot me to the inside. If I tried to get to a door first he’d body check me.
@@Kellendras1 Possibly, there’s quite a bit of that in my family. It’s more likely he’s just being an obnoxious older brother since his “chivalry” was more traditional with other people. I, of course, always tried to get to doors first and walk by the street fulfilling my role as obnoxious little sister.
9:23 😢❤Those wounds won't quite heal...the scars crack open sometimes. Thanks for sharing this with us. And I hope you are free of whoever did this to you. Sounds like a fr narcissist. And if nothing seems to help, remember: You are still here. You survived it
That story you told of getting ridiculed from someone you knew for wearing a shirt...man that hit hard. I was a tomboy growing up and people always made me feel ugly for it. I decided I would never force "gender" expectations on my daughter. Flash forward 20 years...my 6 year old son LOVES to wear sparkles and dresses! I allow him because it makes him happy and it's just clothes. Sometimes he is SpiderMan, sometimes he is Elsa. I believe in picking my battles and I choose the battles that focus on attitude and happiness...not what clothes they are wearing.
I’m also not a very confident person but being around my friends(one friend in particular) has really helped with my confidence. I see one of my friends wearing tight corsets and see-through shirts with the confidence of a goddess and it inspires me to wear what I want. I used to be scared to wear a sleeveless shirt out in public but today I wore a crop-top for the first time and felt amazing. Everyone has a journey to follow and congratulations on becoming more confident in yourself.
11:52 my older (half) sister is pregnant and I can't wait for our dad (her stepdad) to meet his grandson and learn he's named after him. It's a really hard secret to keep, and what's even cuter is that she's due on our parents anniversary 😭
You have no idea how much these are needed. I just found your channel. I haven't seen the red flags, but I absolutely adore the green flags. They put the biggest smile on my face, and I share them with everyone I know who needs a smile. Because let's face it, we need it so much right now. Thank you for your positivity.
Told my boyfriend to watch your stuff not because he's a red flag he's about as green as Carlos honestly, but becauseI want to show him that he's a green flag and that I love him.
Your shirt story hit hard. I was an early developer, so I was.... blessed in the chest since middle school. I had been self concious about my skin thanks to my eczema that I had had since I was a baby, but by mid high school my skin was finally clearing up and I was finally starting to wear things other than hoodies! Aaaaand then I went back to school clothes shopping with my conservative grandmother. While my grandmother had no problem getting cute clothing for my younger half-sister (her biological grand daughter-- I'm adopted), she only really wanted to buy me clothes that were duller colors and very loose fitting/ unflattering to my body shape. Her reasoning was that wearing non-potato sack-shaped clothing, that I opened myself to looking like a slut and having boys "rightfully take advantage of me". She had even commented on a v-neck dress I asked my mom to buy for my 16th birthday (it was the only thing my family did *for me* for my birthday), and it made me hate my body and feel like I needed to hide myself. I'm in my early 30s now, and I'm only just now dressing how I like... mostly. Still, I had a friend introduce me to the glory of the crop top, and I am *living* for the booba shirts! Some people will never know how the quick things they say will affect another for years. Wear what makes you happy. It's your flesh mecha to decorate. ❤
Also blessed over here, I got similar talks about wearing tops that I couldn't help if they were "tight". But at the same time I got chewed out for wearing a hoodie on a 90 degree day after getting teased at school for the gals. It was a lose lose. Eventually I kinda just wore whatever I felt like. Hope your journey continues and those past thoughts get quieter.
Same story here. I spent my middle and high school years hunched over in baggy clothes. My freshman year of college I was walking to a bookstore from the bus stop and remember thinking, "I'm finally over it and can walk with my shoulders straight." I wasn't any braver clothes-wise, it was fall and I was just wearing a turtleneck and cardigan. Then some guy fell into step with me and started chatting me up. I was flattered, but also wary because his vibe was a bit off, so in response to his question, I told him that I did have a boyfriend and we were very happy together. "Too bad," he said, "you have outrageous breasts." When I stiffened up, trying to figure out where I could go to get away from him, he said, "No need to be a bitch, it was a compliment." Wrong thing at exactly the wrong moment. Even though I "know" better, I'm not actually sure if I've ever felt comfortable or confident in my body again.
I developed early as well and I HATED it, it didn't help that I was very short, still am at 4'11. Friends (guy friends mostly) mentioned, though I give them a pass, they were kids. Family mentioned it. My elementary school principal, you know, a grown ass woman, asked little 12 year old me if I stuffed my bra. I guess my shirt was slightly see through and I didn't realize (had worn a sweater over it all day until end of the school day, it was hot out). My mom was not happy with that one. I didn't even know stuffing Bras was a thing. It took me YEARS after hiding my body with loose clothing to feel confident with my body, I'm currently 19, soon to be 20 in a few months, I'm beginning to feel good about the body I was born with. I still wear clothes that cover my body for the most part, unless it's shorts and a tanktop in the heat. I like myself and my body now, and I should have in the first place. I just wish people didn't sexualize women and young girls who developed early. It's disgusting.
You are a green flag of a human being. Thank you for doing this video. I'm so sorry that "friend" made you feel bad about wearing a yellow shirt. Never. Stop. Being. YOU!!!!! ~with love from a purple-haired Gen-X lady and her hubby
Awh, my husband's the same as the italian dude, every day or two he will just stop and look at me and be like "sorry... I can't help it, you're so beautiful". I grew up with intense self esteem issues because I was (and still am) very overweight and I thought of myself as extremely unappealing (even my parents told me at some point that if I don't lose weight, no one will want me, which scarred me for life). 14 years ago, he flew halfway across the world to meet me first time, just to give me a whole speech to make a big point that I am the most beautiful person and that he has now disproven everyone else, so I'm not allowed to see myself as ugly any more. And still, all these years later, he is so in love. A couple days ago he just said randomly "people say that love goes away over time, it's a lie, I love you more every year". Nhaww...
I watch your green flag videos before I go to bed to help keep the nightmares away. It’s usually your shorts but I’m definitely going to start watching the full ones after seeing this! Keep doing wonderful things…there is so much negativity out there I love that you showcase the good too. If I had a giant green flag I would run with it for you!
I have chronic migraines and I am in pain every day. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You deserve a green flag. If I had the energy I would wave one for you. Thank you making me feel better.
Sir, this is my first video of yours, and I am weeping! 🥺😭 This may well be one of the sweetest and cutest things I have ever seen, not counting the 6-month-old in my arms looking up at me with a wrinkled brow wondering why mommy is leaking all over them. I created a new playlist just for this video and any others of yours that I watch that I am calling Serotonin!, which I will be watching for a boost whenever I'm having a bad day. Thank you so much for being you and putting this smile-inducing goodness into the world. 💚💚
Your honestly and vulnerability about your teenage-self feeling so sad when ridiculed wearing an “out of character” shirt is what made me tear up. You have such a sweet soul and I know you’ll be a great dad someday-if that’s the path you choose. If your path doesn’t lead you to fatherhood, I know you’ll be an amazing source or encouragement, love and support to many-you already are to all of us!! I really believe that being a parent is supporting and loving our children in the ways we needed to be loved growing up, and by giving our kids the childhood we deserved. ❤❤
I paint my husbands nails black because he had stage 4 melanoma when I met him and I made him go to the doctor and now a few surgeries and 1 year of cancer treatment, he is now cancer free for almost 5 years, but the nail beds are place that is common for melanoma to reoccur! It is like sunscreen for his nails.
My little cousin loves wearing bright pink nail polish like his older sister. He’s currently 6, and his parents always encourage him if that’s what he likes doing. So he loves his Mohawk hair, tie dye shirts, and bright colored nail polish. I know it’s small, but not everyone’s parents encourage these things. I legitimately hope he continues being his expressive and loving self ❤️ and their parents are definitely green flags!
My sister was like this when my nephew was little back in the 80s. Wearing whatever, playing with whatever toys, and his older sister would play with him too. Very open, supportive, and no damns given about any "societal rules". They're children. Let children play, use their imagination, and grow. ❤
My husband was deployed while I was deployed. We had no way to communicate other than writing. We’d write each other and a lot of the times we’d send each other the same ideas or thoughts about trips and plans for when we saw we each other. It was like we were on the same brain level. The puppy video reminded me of this. You know you're with your person when thus stuff happens. We've been married 29 years, were in our 50’s and started dating our senior year in high school. He is my lobster❤️
Your story about your shirt, I'm literally sitting here crying. I was bullied in school. We moved a lot and I was always the new kid, but I was also awkward and didn't have any confidence, and that painted a target on my back everywhere I went, it seemed. Also, another fact that made it worse was it wasn't just at school. It was also at home, and that really affected me and probably was the actual source of my awkwardness to begin with. It was awful. And so often I want to tell my younger self to be brave and to hug her and tell her that it gets better. But the sad thing is that even if I could do that, my younger self wouldn't have believed it, and wouldn't even be able to conceptualize a life without abuse. It was so foreign to me that it was essentially invisible. Your story hurt me because I know what it feels like to have someone rip away at your self worth. And you didn't deserve that. You are a truly good and beautiful person from what I've seen, and my heart really hurts to hear you went through that. Thank you for sharing that with us. ❤
Also to clarify, I'm not suggesting that what I went through is what you went through, but I do empathize with you, having someone close to you say those things, it hurts a lot. I hope what I said wasn't inadvertently insensitive. Sometimes I can put my foot in my mouth and I hope I didn't here.
Thank you both so much. Im so much better now. It's the simple life for me. I have an amazing man I've been with for the last 18 years and his love has truly helped me heal by giving me the emotional and physical space and safety to process things. It's been a long road but I'm very happy and I take care of my mental heath carefully. I'm in a really good place now.
9:57 oh man this cracked me up, him just continuing the laugh in shock/confusion/dispelief 😂 I love it! 🤣 It was really nice to get to know about you a bit more. I enjoy the red flag videos as well but I really adore the green flag ones. Especially on days I need some cheering up the videos are always sweet and your comments throughout always make me, at the very least smile but ususally make me, laugh. I'm sorry about the person being a jerk about the shirt. Love "Clothes arent about how you look, its about how you feel" I adore that crochet story, so cute. Thanks for all the wholesole content dude! It really brightene my day (also bit about spilling the tea on your shirt was great 😅)
9:07 *HUGS!!!* 😢(only with your permission, of course) I'm so sorry that happened to you. 😔 If you want to get another shirt in that style, and wear it in your next video, I swear to God I will cheer and applaud and tell you how fabulous you look!
Dustin! We love your videos! FIND THE SHIRT, buy the shirt and wear it again, even if it isn't your style anymore. We support you! Keep up the great work! ❤
It can be hard to drown out the memories of callousness and cruelty, esp when the person gained nothing by hurting you. People choosing positivity and compassion helps immensely, and you celebrating these snippets of kindness truly makes me feel so much better. Thank you
Normally I watch these with a smile, but I rarely get emotionally impacted by things. But this compilation -- and your enthusiasm, your candidness, and your ever-witty one-liners -- they genuinely improved my mood. Thanks for doing what you do and highlighting that there's still good out there in the world.
My 6’3 mechanic husband constantly has painted nails and we are also in the south. When he shows up to work the other guys just smile and ask which kid painted them.
1:15 The squeal 🥹 tells me everything I need to know. And I always freaking LOVE that next clip 😊 also you and your girlfriend are so cute omg, love that for you❤❤❤
my stepdad used to let me paint his toenails and he’d wear it for weeks until I took it off to repaint it, definitely a core memory for me, he’s the best dad I could’ve asked for❤️
Dustin thanks for always posting quality videos and I also love the commentary that you do on your content keep being great sending you and your family blessings 🙏💙💜
You’re in Arkansas? Me too! I’ve got a walking green flag for you if you ever visit Johnson Co. My hubby is the sweetest most honey roasted guy there is. Raised my two children when he didn’t have to, the best girl dad ever. He now is the best Poppa ever to our one and only grandchild who was named after him. He moved back here with me to help me care for my mother. I lost my teaching job this year after 30+ years in the classroom and he has decided that my only job now will be my mother and our grandson. He tells me I’m pretty and buys me fried pickles. He’ll be 50 this fall and he has no idea how amazing I think he is.
As a Mum with ADHD who has a teenage son with ADHD, and a counsellor, I have not met anyone with ADHD who does not have some trauma. Mostly from school thanks to peers, teachers and the educational system. Or parents/siblings who spend more time tearing you down for being different than building you up. You are a remarkable young man to be open about your ADHD, and without going into too much detail, the impact others have had on your confidence and social awareness. Your videos are not only amusing, but showcase no matter how others have acted towards you, you outshine them morally and emphatically. So hold your head high, and be proud of finding a wonderful way to push your social awareness limits, get that dopamine hit, and provide amusement for others that only those with ADHD can do. As I remind my son, regardless of what others think, ADHD is a superpower others can only aspire to.
My friends used to say aggressive compliments and then yell, "HA, BROASTED!" It's the same energy, and I now need to incorporate this into my vernacular.
My mom actually used to help me match my clothes once I started picking my own. She was very gentle about it, just sitting me down and explaining why you don’t wear all your patterns at once, stuff like that. Nowadays I love fashion, and she never has anything but kind words for me, and I still use some of her advice since I’m autistic and didn’t really understand stuff like that inherently
6:50 I love puppies so much! My 3 year old dog is a Chihuahua who seems to be mixed with a Golden Retriever and it's such a perfect mix that he's like a permanent Golden Retriever puppy. It's also obvious that he's a Chihuahua but he's so adorable.
I have to tell you, I’m so glad you work past your social anxiety and run around in a public park with your green flag… the park parts are an AWESOME part of every video! I am loving what you do! From Ottawa, Canada! 🇨🇦 OKG, I had stopped the video just before the different shirt story, and now I have to edit my comment to say I’m so sorry someone (who was, I think, supposed to love and support you) made you feel like that 😞❤️
I painted my boyfriend’s nails black! And he loved it! And it looks so nice on him. I’m just really happy that I could help him find a new way to express himself.
I just moved to Arkansas and I'm only now getting your videos. Why didn't RUclips recommend you earlier? I had to pause several times because I was laughing so hard. Also about the one comment sticking: been there. Everyone needs to spread more kindness.
I have only recently discovered your channel, and I love it! It brings me comfort and feeds my soul to see the kindness people can be capable of. Thank you for your candor and for sharing your own experiences. Wishing you the best of everything! 😊
That crochet bit was soooooo, sooooo sweet. I loved it maybe bc when someone genuinely appreciates the things I "hand-fashion" it gives me validation, means they're proud of me and I love them for that. 💖 (And he was doing it secretly so there was ZERO manipulation, insincerity or dishonesty.) 💖 💖 💖
I will always be grateful to have the mom I did. School shopping with me was always a nightmare because I wouldn't choose anything and she just wanted us all to have clothes we loved that made us feel confident. Then in middle school, I saw some sports shirts and she noticed I was actually looking at clothes and she excitedly bought me every shirt I picked at Champs and told me I should have told her I liked boys clothes instead and we would have gotten whatever I wanted. That was HUGE for me. We were in a very religious church and this was 25 years ago when people just weren't as accepting. But she made sure I knew she accepted me no matter what and it really helped me become more comfortable in my own skin. And when you are comfortable with who you are the right people find their ways into your life and the wrong ones find their way out.
I just found your channel and I absolutely adore your videos! I couldn't contain my smile or my laughter throughout this video and I love all the fun comments and puns you make! Please never stop making these! They're a much-needed bright spot in this world!
"I have ADHD so I have the spacial awareness of a blind pidgeon" I'm stealing this for all my ADHD interactions now, blessed
Also have ADHD and also stealing you stealing it
I might have ADHD but definitely have a pigeon and have seen plenty of blind pigeons and this is too accurate 😭
same, haha 😆😆😆
I'm ADHD too! 💃🏻
Hello, ADHD squad! 🎉
“He’s naming the things i crochet” is the most adorable thing I’ve heard all day
I died when I heard it.
As a crocheter I have a new set standard for my future husband
@@VictoriaLaine-j7c They deserve names. It just makes sense.
*DERBY* ??
holy hell of heartstopping hearthrobbing love o_o!
I name every octopus I crochet "Jeffery", and the ones without eyes/ones whose eyes are falling out are called "Eyeless Jeffery". When people name their creations, it brings me pure joy because I feel like I’m the only one who do it.
I love that the Irish guy pulled the "I'm all dressed up now, don't waste it" card 😂
Am I having a stroke? How is he Irish? He sounds like he’s from the Bronx. I think he said he was Irish also and I know I’m missing something here.
@@BeeWhistler I think OP just confused Dustin’s reference to “The Irishman,” thinking the guy was actually Irish. “The Irishman” is a movie about a hitman who is Irish, but he worked for an Italian American crime family. Dustin was definitely referring to the movie to say the bf sounded like he was part of the mafia, not that he was Irish lol
@@BreakofDawnthank you for clarifying because I was confused
Yeah because there's no way that's Irish. He sounds like he's part of the American Italian mob
He could be what they used to call Black Irish 🤷🏾♀️
My hirsute, very masculine 32 yr old son was suddenly hospitalized with a serious illness.
When the nursing staff came in & he was in the hospital gown, they couldnt help but burst out laughing at his feet.
His big toenails were painted like cartoon characters & the rest were brightly colored to match.
Turns out that when my lovely, creative daughter-in-law runs out of her own nails, she practices on his. 😂🤣
I love my family. ❤
That’s wonderful!
I hope he's OK.
May I ask what hirsute means? Usually I would Google this but it's fine up the creek with AI and I tend to understand humans easier with their layman's terms.
@@Roadent1241 Hirsutism is basically hair overgrowth. In men it usually portrays as them being very um, hairy, in women it may show on face making a beard. Often paired with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
@InessaMaximova Ah, thanks. Not quite to the levels of 'werewolf syndrome' I imagine.
@@Roadent1241 that's a harmful name and stereotype associated with this condition.
guy 1 is hilarious. I love him. So much. He's the exact kinda man I want to be. Incredibly AGGRESSIVELY LOVING. with ZERO threat behind it. ZERO Threat. ALL LOVE.
I love you and I love that you love this aggressively loving man. The world needs more aggressive loving with zero threat.
This is a BEAUTIFUL way to express and define your masculinity dear. 💛 I’m sure you bring light to everyone in your vicinity.
That's exactly the kind of masculinity we need in the world, good on you dude
Sir, I just found your channel thank you for making me laugh, cry, and be irritated! Seriously I’m dealing with health issues and your commentary is brilliant. Be well everyone and be kind. From an old chick.
And that’s why men are so dumb and filthy mouthed! Because women like you put up with that! You are okay with being talked to like you are trash!?
"Snot bubble wept" is my new measure of despair. I'm so sorry that someone you valued destroyed you like they did. You deserved better.
I’ve had PLENTY of ‘snot bubble despairs’ by 55- sucks that that’s what life brings. 🫤
13:26 the way she said “I tried my best” killed me 😭😭 and then it turned into a happy cry
Right??? That honestly sounded like old trauma and he knew immediately how to comfort her
My heart, argh!
@@CaroGo omg and how excited he was when he found out they were having a boy 🥺🥺
@@jamie_lou_1107 Yes! What genuine joy
Also that brief moment of his brain working it out
"ooh, blueberry! Yum! WAIT. BLUE"
@@CaroGo it makes my heart soar with happiness when I see this kinda stuff 🥰🥰
Someone pointed out in the original short that he could have sussed it out from the cake being green (blue+yellow) that she meant to make a blue cake, but that he didn't and instead put the action back in her hands with the berries. 😢 he's a really good dude
That last one. Not only is he naming the things, he’s apparently giving the pictures amazing captions. 14:10 pause and zoom in. Outstanding.
My dad wore tie dye every day of his life until the day he passed. He'd even wear "girl" colors like pink. We dressed him in tie dye for his final outfit.
I think that's perfect. A lot of times we tend to pick more formal clothes for our loved ones when it's time to send them off, but I think most people would be happiest being dressed how they liked to dress in life.
That's a beautiful way to honor your dad
my dad loved tie-dye too!! his urn was made by a ceramicist friend of the family, who beautifully painted it to look like it’s tie-dyed 💜 i bet our dads are kicking it together at whatever sweet concert series is currently playing in the afterlife 💕
That's so wholesome
@@lizard3755 that’s very true
My great grandad, who was not known to be a very sentimental guy and never very vocal about his feelings, held hands with my great grandma and teared up as they watched the planting of a golden rowan tree that he'd arranged for their gold wedding anniversary (50 years). It was so sweet.
The couple surprising each other with puppies is sending me, thats such a sweet video
They had the same idea on the same exact day, they were in sync.
They got EACH OTHER’S favorite dog too it’s so cute
@@jaywoofit it also suggests too that rather than true cold undiscussed live changing surprises there had been some talk recently about getting a dog where they both confirmed they wanted one at this point in their lives, so the other thought "I'm gonna get them a puppy!"

0:38 this man is so aggressively kind its hilarious.
You think using volume and force on your partner to make them obey you is 'kind'? I pity your past and future partners.
@@MoonShadowWolfe he's not using aggression to make her obey lmao Jesus christ dude.
@MoonShadowWolfe there is this fun little thing called 'context' that you should try learning about. Given that she argues bacj, its pretty obvious she knows how he is like and doesn't really mind it or fear him. He isn't using 'force', its a debate on how to handle things.
@@jonathangoodwin5609Needed to read this tbh. I get iffy with loud projecting voices so I was worried for her
Context? On the internet? Heaven gorbid!@@jonathangoodwin5609
The gendet reveal cake was so sweet. Her "I tried my best" was pregnancy hormone realness.
Maybe added blue food coloring to a yellow cake mix. Yellow and blue make green.
Is that what I was supposed to see?😂😂😂
Dang Walmart reading glasses only go so far with a smartphone and the screen only set for a short!😂😂😂❤❤❤
Yeah, and she likely knew after frosting it. Dude just didn't put 2 and 2 together. He might've after that, but the berry solution is super cute.@@recoveringsoul755
I love the first interaction so much. He wants to go out with her and he doesn't mind looking like she is paying for him AND additionally, he wants her to do what she likes and is ready to support her. "You want to take me out and if you need money for it here is my card". He is super secure and is ready to pay to let her "save face". I know it was just a test but he clearly shows he would gladly be her arm candy for an outing he secretly pays for. He is just happy to go out with her. C:
Carlo really got me when he said "there is only one love of the life, and I already met mine." The title of the video is spot on.
He was so certain! Awww 💖
They are really sweet together. They also have their own yt channel. Not to take away from this channel, which I deem at the topest of tiers. =]
Not me over here happy-bawling my eyes out over how in love people can be. 🥹
The way he’s looking at her baffled like “can you not see.. you? How it’s impossible for me to choose anyone but you? Who put this strange question in your mind?”
@@crystaldragon8211hi, sorry, do you know what it's called?
That one family making their kids a whole fast food drive thru is so sweet. I remember when I was younger, my uncle used to play this game with my me, my sisters, and my cousins, where he was the server at a restaurant. The restaurant only served gross foods and drinks, like octopus eyeballs and camel spit. We’d laugh so hard at the ridiculousness of it all. Then he’d bring out empty paper plates, and he’d wobble and trip, pretending to spill all our food just to make us laugh. When your kids are young, it’s so important to show them just how much you love them. That’s what they’ll remember.
I just LOVE how gruff the first guy is about his affection. I feel like this girl gets honey roasted all the time
It’s the Long Island/Jersey accent…..there nothing gentle about it
He truly is a sweetheart to her he just comes across as very very rough lol He's very much to take care of your woman type.
0:24 “What am I chopped liver? What do you need money for, if I’m taking you out”
Top tier compliment 😂❤
Something is wrong with you. If your partner wants to go home, don't bully them with angry shouting into staying. Don't shove unwanted money at them that's actually just a demand to stay in public and say it should make them happy. What the fuck is the 'compliment' in that? He gave not one shit how he was making her feel. I hope she got out of that awful relationship, and seeing all of you think you saw something sweet is hell.
It was a prank first of all. Some people are naturally loud.
Plus. She wasn't crying at all or anything. She probably told him it was a prank afterwards. Chill out
@@MoonShadowWolfethey weren't even in public? I mean I myself wouldn't feel great about it bc I don't wanna feel like a mooch, but guys do all seem to not fucking care lol. I would prefer a more sedate reaction, but again she knows him, feels safe enough with him to prank him. I agree there's some mini flags, but I don't think they're enough to condemn anybody from a min long clip, without knowing them.
@@StonedtotheBones13 This is just your average New Yorker (most likely Staten Islander). There are no flags here its legitimately just a cultural thing.
I took have ADHD and a babysitter mocked my clothes when I was about 9 "there's too much going on,too many colours,you look stupid". I've only just recently stopped colour blocking my entire outfit. I was 37 (now 40) and it feels good my guy. People are weird 💁🏻♀️
I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you. ❤️
The fact that stuff like that sticks with kids well into adulthood should be a wake up call to adults to be kinder. I can relate to that a lot between my dad and my ex-fiance. I'm 31 now and it's taken me about seven years to undo what my ex did to me (or at least most of it. Gonna be stuck with PTSD for a while I think). But I'm happier in my own skin. I feel freer. And I feel like ME. Weird how when you wear masks for so long and you finally take them off how much you realize you've missed about everything and even yourself. It really does cost nothing to be kind, yet costs everything to be cruel or mean.
@@havenparks thank you my lovely, same to you ❤️
Good for you for wearing what you want! It’s never too late for that!! I am proud of you too!
I am also ADHD and I’m sitting at work in a red t shirt, shorts that have t-Rexs surfing on them, Christmas socks, and blue crocks (I’m able to dress casual at my job)
Life is too short not to express yourself! Be comfortable, be confident, and most importantly BE YOU!! 🤩🤩🤩
...what the fuck? Who says that to a 9 year old? Especially one that you're getting paid to _take care of?_ I really hope that jerk got fired.
"Take the fcking card out...pick any card...the magical deck of cards..." 😂

VERY FLUSTERED.
EXTREMELY FLUSTERED.
All the fluster
and also, well, yknow, flustered.
4:05 I have painted my husband's nails purple. He has also worn a pink shirt with pink bows in his beard. He is 100% ok with wearing a skirt. He doesn't care at all. Love that man
Wow- my husband would NEVER- NOT, EVER.
@@silvergirl7810 lol he has done worse. I have tried to find where my husband draws the line but honestly doubt he has a line at this point. "Would you dress in drag?" "Yeah" "even with a Corset?" "Sure." "And Fishnet leggings?" "Why not." "Makeup and glitter?" "If you put it on for me, I'm down." Would you try just a Speedo?" "I can handle it, can you?" Man has No hesitation, no embarrassment, just no Fs to give.
Painting my nails is such a huge confidence booster for me. I started out black to test the waters before moving on to brighter colours and growing my nails longer. It also helped me stop biting them
While I've never done my own, I've let a few people use my face to practice with some makeup haha
Society says a whole lot of nonsense sometimes. Do whatever makes you happy
@@darabounds6671He's a keeper for sure. My spouse has tails and horns and sets of ears they wear in public. My spouse is also non binary so I get to do their makeup every so often and my spouse has skirts and corsets. We both do and dress up for events. It's so fun to have someone to dress up with.
"Actually you know what, I'm going. I'm listening to you. Yeah, I'll listen to you. C'mon tribe!" 🥺🥺🥺 Keeper. That man is a KEEPER.
I like how adept he is a wrangling little boys. It's clear he doesn't describe caring for his kids as "baby-sitting." He's not a dad who's just a "fun parent." He's an authority figure, but not authoritarian -- a delicate balance. It was fun watching the gears whirl, click, and finally engage. Ya gotta admit, he was 100% right at every step. Obviously, he was rightest at the end, though!
Yo I thought at first ofc he wants to see her because I'm assuming she is his wife and is attracted to her and for him to take the second to think oh wait what if she feels uncomfortable about this and step back is a good thing but like it should just be the norm right? I am a guy and I am with a guy so I will never have this specific experience but I would assume if I was with a lady and had a child that that would be a lot on her and how she feels about her body with all of the changes over the past 9months and possibly forever if surgical intervention is required so I mean I can empathize but again I think that should be normal to just listen to what somone feels comfortable with.
Heck even in like social situations people have anxieties or things like sensory issues so I think it's good to be aware of people's boundaries.
He is kinda adorable in his little confused thing he has going on though lol.
@@ChazzleDazzleVideos Yeah, whether you're gay or not, your logic is impeccable. It _should_ be the norm. Sadly, it's not. There are a lot of guys who don't understand, or choose not to respect, a woman's self-consciousness and wish for privacy. I used to go with a guy who ridiculed me for not liking to dress in front of him. I always felt he was judging me, whether he said anything ("You gained some weight over the holidays, didn't you?" in a warning voice) or not.
@@ChazzleDazzleVideos He was clearly confused to why she would ask him to step out. Most likely she is dealing with some mental issues about her body after giving birth again, but by him first saying he was staying and then still respecting her wishes he showed her that he doesn't really care about that. Which is exactly the thing she needs to hear.
Josh is super wholesome. Him and Sue are adorable
9:28 my younger brother used to wear dresses when he was four. My dresses from when I was little. My parents didn’t say a thing about it- and it makes me happy to this day. He doesn’t wear dresses anymore, but he likes when I paint his nails and does makeup on him.
I love the crochet one at the end. He moves like a green flag in the shadows!!! 💚
That's so sweet because he is obviously proud of his wife and wanted to show off her talent 🟩💚
Charlotte!
As someone who crochets and sews, that would mean so much to have a partner who thought so much of my work!
@@missnaomi613 same. But in the end i think he's kinda proud since he "commissioned" me all sort of items for his side of the family 🤔😊
@@daninb8939nice to find a fellow potato queen ❤

@@DustinPoynterVideos hi! I promise I'm getting a good people aren't dead shirt for my husband (he deserves one ❤) but my car needs a repair so it'll be middle of next month now. Order coming soon!
i’m either about to be smitten or a witness 💀💀 0:14
I just passed that part as soon as the comment thing below showed that comment 😅
But fr tho
“My soul pirouetted out of my body” 😂 THAT STORY SLAYED ME
These Green Flag videos are my daily dose of smiles. Hope and joy still live and thrive. 💚💚💚
Once, I bought a bunch of clothes. I was super excited about it and one particular shirt I got was a shirt with a tiny teddy bear holding a teddy bear. I thought it was really cute and I was super excited for it to come. When I opened it and excitedly showed my parents, my mom said, “I’m sorry, but that shirt is a p3dofiles dream.” And “I can imagine a p3dofile dressing up a kid in that.” It wasn’t a tight fitting shirt or cropped or anything. It rotted in the back of my closet. The comment about “it’s not how clothes look, it’s about how they feel” is so real. I just needed someone to back me up while I was getting into my style and that comment said by my mom (someone who I look up to a lot when it comes to clothes) completely destroyed me.
That shirt sounds adorable!
I'm so sorry you feel this way, friend.
If you still have the shirt, maybe think about turning it into a tote bag? This way you can still "wear" it...
@@Lulph I second this! Alternatively you could turn it into a pillow or a bunch of other house items to make use of what sounds like a genuinely adorable design!
@@Lulph that’s a really good idea! Maybe I will!
😱😭
The way the green flag was thrown down for the last one cracked me up. Nice to see the support for her creations. Also loved the double pupper surprise, I hope they kept both of them.
Man, I never cry at the video, but that gender reveal one and the way he comforted her, my god I weeped 😭😭😭 so wholesome ❤😢❤️❤️
Omg same!!! That’s the one that really got me, I don’t even know why!😭
I’m just sitting here weeping like a baby🥹😅
@@Lysiasolo It's prolly because he immediately knows how to comfort her, such sweethearts both of them 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Feel like the world just overall sucks right now so if you see happy- it’s REALLY powerful
😭😭 I have laid in bed crying tears of happiness so hard for about 10 minutes because I know that both me and my wife (we’re lesbians) have our traumas from the past, and we help each other through times where it hurts us 😭😭 I love her so freaking much!!!
It’s the way the girl grabbed the father’s face 😂😂😂. I love seeing fathers being amazing.
The quiet "...sorry..." at 4:00 from the dad to daughter was so precious 😆❤😆
Vin Diesel wasn't kidding when he talks about family in Fast and Furious.
the second last one with the gender reveal always has me tearing up with the “i tried my best” like they are so cute and she did try her best and her best was great i love them
One of my brothers (13 years older than me) was big on the chivalry rules but lacking in execution when it came to little sis. If I started to walk on the outside of the sidewalk he’d grab my arm and slingshot me to the inside. If I tried to get to a door first he’d body check me.
Is he neuro divergent? That sounds a bit like it.
@@Kellendras1 Possibly, there’s quite a bit of that in my family. It’s more likely he’s just being an obnoxious older brother since his “chivalry” was more traditional with other people. I, of course, always tried to get to doors first and walk by the street fulfilling my role as obnoxious little sister.
You can always count on older siblings to bring the chaotic good 😂
9:23 😢❤Those wounds won't quite heal...the scars crack open sometimes. Thanks for sharing this with us. And I hope you are free of whoever did this to you. Sounds like a fr narcissist. And if nothing seems to help, remember: You are still here. You survived it
You have no idea how much I needed this
💚💚💚💚
11:16 "The food's gonna be a little late" cracked me up! I am crying, laughing and suffocating at the same time. Sooo good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He called her HUNTY im fking laughing so hard!
That story you told of getting ridiculed from someone you knew for wearing a shirt...man that hit hard. I was a tomboy growing up and people always made me feel ugly for it. I decided I would never force "gender" expectations on my daughter. Flash forward 20 years...my 6 year old son LOVES to wear sparkles and dresses! I allow him because it makes him happy and it's just clothes. Sometimes he is SpiderMan, sometimes he is Elsa. I believe in picking my battles and I choose the battles that focus on attitude and happiness...not what clothes they are wearing.
"I believe in picking my battles and I choose the battles that focus on attitude and happiness" Damn, that's a good line...
Aww! That’s awesome! 👏
❤❤❤
Aww that's awesome!! He sounds so cool.
As someone who grew up as a tomboy, I totally understand you.
13:13 is honestly one of the most wholesome vids, the full version is even better, they are gonna be fantastic parents
I’m also not a very confident person but being around my friends(one friend in particular) has really helped with my confidence. I see one of my friends wearing tight corsets and see-through shirts with the confidence of a goddess and it inspires me to wear what I want. I used to be scared to wear a sleeveless shirt out in public but today I wore a crop-top for the first time and felt amazing. Everyone has a journey to follow and congratulations on becoming more confident in yourself.
👍👏
That is amazing. The way I would want to be that friend. Thats awesome for you guys congrats!!
11:52 my older (half) sister is pregnant and I can't wait for our dad (her stepdad) to meet his grandson and learn he's named after him. It's a really hard secret to keep, and what's even cuter is that she's due on our parents anniversary 😭
You have no idea how much these are needed. I just found your channel. I haven't seen the red flags, but I absolutely adore the green flags. They put the biggest smile on my face, and I share them with everyone I know who needs a smile. Because let's face it, we need it so much right now. Thank you for your positivity.
Welcome to the Camp Green Flag, friend! 🤗
We have a lot of fun here!🤠
The red flag commentaries are so funny too, honestly, lol this guy is hilarious!
The couple with the puppies, are literally made for each other. I've never seen it in real life, my heart!
Told my boyfriend to watch your stuff not because he's a red flag he's about as green as Carlos honestly, but becauseI want to show him that he's a green flag and that I love him.
Your shirt story hit hard. I was an early developer, so I was.... blessed in the chest since middle school. I had been self concious about my skin thanks to my eczema that I had had since I was a baby, but by mid high school my skin was finally clearing up and I was finally starting to wear things other than hoodies! Aaaaand then I went back to school clothes shopping with my conservative grandmother.
While my grandmother had no problem getting cute clothing for my younger half-sister (her biological grand daughter-- I'm adopted), she only really wanted to buy me clothes that were duller colors and very loose fitting/ unflattering to my body shape. Her reasoning was that wearing non-potato sack-shaped clothing, that I opened myself to looking like a slut and having boys "rightfully take advantage of me". She had even commented on a v-neck dress I asked my mom to buy for my 16th birthday (it was the only thing my family did *for me* for my birthday), and it made me hate my body and feel like I needed to hide myself.
I'm in my early 30s now, and I'm only just now dressing how I like... mostly. Still, I had a friend introduce me to the glory of the crop top, and I am *living* for the booba shirts! Some people will never know how the quick things they say will affect another for years. Wear what makes you happy. It's your flesh mecha to decorate. ❤
Also blessed over here, I got similar talks about wearing tops that I couldn't help if they were "tight". But at the same time I got chewed out for wearing a hoodie on a 90 degree day after getting teased at school for the gals. It was a lose lose. Eventually I kinda just wore whatever I felt like. Hope your journey continues and those past thoughts get quieter.
Same story here. I spent my middle and high school years hunched over in baggy clothes. My freshman year of college I was walking to a bookstore from the bus stop and remember thinking, "I'm finally over it and can walk with my shoulders straight." I wasn't any braver clothes-wise, it was fall and I was just wearing a turtleneck and cardigan. Then some guy fell into step with me and started chatting me up. I was flattered, but also wary because his vibe was a bit off, so in response to his question, I told him that I did have a boyfriend and we were very happy together. "Too bad," he said, "you have outrageous breasts." When I stiffened up, trying to figure out where I could go to get away from him, he said, "No need to be a bitch, it was a compliment." Wrong thing at exactly the wrong moment. Even though I "know" better, I'm not actually sure if I've ever felt comfortable or confident in my body again.
@irisblue2332 people can be horrible! I'm sorry that happened to you and I'm sorry it messed with your confidence. :/
Same, never got the confidence to wear other clothes but am jealous of full-bodied women being able to rock it. Gimmie that confidence!!
I developed early as well and I HATED it, it didn't help that I was very short, still am at 4'11. Friends (guy friends mostly) mentioned, though I give them a pass, they were kids. Family mentioned it. My elementary school principal, you know, a grown ass woman, asked little 12 year old me if I stuffed my bra. I guess my shirt was slightly see through and I didn't realize (had worn a sweater over it all day until end of the school day, it was hot out). My mom was not happy with that one. I didn't even know stuffing Bras was a thing.
It took me YEARS after hiding my body with loose clothing to feel confident with my body, I'm currently 19, soon to be 20 in a few months, I'm beginning to feel good about the body I was born with. I still wear clothes that cover my body for the most part, unless it's shorts and a tanktop in the heat. I like myself and my body now, and I should have in the first place.
I just wish people didn't sexualize women and young girls who developed early. It's disgusting.
You are a green flag of a human being. Thank you for doing this video. I'm so sorry that "friend" made you feel bad about wearing a yellow shirt. Never. Stop. Being. YOU!!!!!
~with love from a purple-haired Gen-X lady and her hubby
Awh, my husband's the same as the italian dude, every day or two he will just stop and look at me and be like "sorry... I can't help it, you're so beautiful". I grew up with intense self esteem issues because I was (and still am) very overweight and I thought of myself as extremely unappealing (even my parents told me at some point that if I don't lose weight, no one will want me, which scarred me for life). 14 years ago, he flew halfway across the world to meet me first time, just to give me a whole speech to make a big point that I am the most beautiful person and that he has now disproven everyone else, so I'm not allowed to see myself as ugly any more. And still, all these years later, he is so in love. A couple days ago he just said randomly "people say that love goes away over time, it's a lie, I love you more every year". Nhaww...
0:46 this is the kind of masculinity we celebrate
I watch your green flag videos before I go to bed to help keep the nightmares away. It’s usually your shorts but I’m definitely going to start watching the full ones after seeing this! Keep doing wonderful things…there is so much negativity out there I love that you showcase the good too. If I had a giant green flag I would run with it for you!
The step-dad crying got me good (tho I will always have a place in my heart for the goodfella who really is a good fella)
I have chronic migraines and I am in pain every day. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You deserve a green flag. If I had the energy I would wave one for you. Thank you making me feel better.
Sir, this is my first video of yours, and I am weeping! 🥺😭
This may well be one of the sweetest and cutest things I have ever seen, not counting the 6-month-old in my arms looking up at me with a wrinkled brow wondering why mommy is leaking all over them.
I created a new playlist just for this video and any others of yours that I watch that I am calling Serotonin!, which I will be watching for a boost whenever I'm having a bad day.
Thank you so much for being you and putting this smile-inducing goodness into the world. 💚💚
He's the best person on social media sincere sweet pairing adorable and his girlfriend is Xena the warrior princess basically gorgeous and badass.
Your honestly and vulnerability about your teenage-self feeling so sad when ridiculed wearing an “out of character” shirt is what made me tear up. You have such a sweet soul and I know you’ll be a great dad someday-if that’s the path you choose. If your path doesn’t lead you to fatherhood, I know you’ll be an amazing source or encouragement, love and support to many-you already are to all of us!! I really believe that being a parent is supporting and loving our children in the ways we needed to be loved growing up, and by giving our kids the childhood we deserved. ❤❤
Your personal story about the shirt is very nice of you to share. It’s very heartfelt and made your video much more comp,ex and thought provoking,
One of the few RUclipsrs for me that can discuss wholesome content without being weird. Keep it up bro
I paint my husbands nails black because he had stage 4 melanoma when I met him and I made him go to the doctor and now a few surgeries and 1 year of cancer treatment, he is now cancer free for almost 5 years, but the nail beds are place that is common for melanoma to reoccur! It is like sunscreen for his nails.
My little cousin loves wearing bright pink nail polish like his older sister. He’s currently 6, and his parents always encourage him if that’s what he likes doing. So he loves his Mohawk hair, tie dye shirts, and bright colored nail polish. I know it’s small, but not everyone’s parents encourage these things.
I legitimately hope he continues being his expressive and loving self ❤️ and their parents are definitely green flags!
That's awesome I love one kids are given autonomy They have the right to make decisions about themselves.
My sister was like this when my nephew was little back in the 80s.
Wearing whatever, playing with whatever toys, and his older sister would play with him too.
Very open, supportive, and no damns given about any "societal rules".
They're children. Let children play, use their imagination, and grow. ❤

Why is it always black? Why not write? Or even gray?
My husband was deployed while I was deployed. We had no way to communicate other than writing. We’d write each other and a lot of the times we’d send each other the same ideas or thoughts about trips and plans for when we saw we each other. It was like we were on the same brain level. The puppy video reminded me of this. You know you're with your person when thus stuff happens. We've been married 29 years, were in our 50’s and started dating our senior year in high school. He is my lobster❤️
Your story about your shirt, I'm literally sitting here crying. I was bullied in school. We moved a lot and I was always the new kid, but I was also awkward and didn't have any confidence, and that painted a target on my back everywhere I went, it seemed. Also, another fact that made it worse was it wasn't just at school. It was also at home, and that really affected me and probably was the actual source of my awkwardness to begin with. It was awful. And so often I want to tell my younger self to be brave and to hug her and tell her that it gets better. But the sad thing is that even if I could do that, my younger self wouldn't have believed it, and wouldn't even be able to conceptualize a life without abuse. It was so foreign to me that it was essentially invisible. Your story hurt me because I know what it feels like to have someone rip away at your self worth. And you didn't deserve that. You are a truly good and beautiful person from what I've seen, and my heart really hurts to hear you went through that. Thank you for sharing that with us. ❤
Also to clarify, I'm not suggesting that what I went through is what you went through, but I do empathize with you, having someone close to you say those things, it hurts a lot. I hope what I said wasn't inadvertently insensitive. Sometimes I can put my foot in my mouth and I hope I didn't here.
@@AngeliqueHope80 I hope you have found a supportive tribe! 💚
YOU didn't deserve it, either. I hope you are in a better environment, now.
Thank you both so much. Im so much better now. It's the simple life for me. I have an amazing man I've been with for the last 18 years and his love has truly helped me heal by giving me the emotional and physical space and safety to process things. It's been a long road but I'm very happy and I take care of my mental heath carefully. I'm in a really good place now.
9:57 oh man this cracked me up, him just continuing the laugh in shock/confusion/dispelief 😂 I love it! 🤣
It was really nice to get to know about you a bit more. I enjoy the red flag videos as well but I really adore the green flag ones. Especially on days I need some cheering up the videos are always sweet and your comments throughout always make me, at the very least smile but ususally make me, laugh.
I'm sorry about the person being a jerk about the shirt. Love "Clothes arent about how you look, its about how you feel"
I adore that crochet story, so cute.
Thanks for all the wholesole content dude! It really brightene my day (also bit about spilling the tea on your shirt was great 😅)
Thank you so much for sharing your personal stories with us! It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable.
8:30 i wanna give you a hug man 😢
My dude, obsessively rewatching your content is getting me through Some Shit. Thanks for doing what you do ^.^
Yeah, I think I need to save this and rewatch it a few times!
9:07 *HUGS!!!* 😢(only with your permission, of course) I'm so sorry that happened to you. 😔
If you want to get another shirt in that style, and wear it in your next video, I swear to God I will cheer and applaud and tell you how fabulous you look!
Dustin! We love your videos! FIND THE SHIRT, buy the shirt and wear it again, even if it isn't your style anymore. We support you! Keep up the great work! ❤
It can be hard to drown out the memories of callousness and cruelty, esp when the person gained nothing by hurting you. People choosing positivity and compassion helps immensely, and you celebrating these snippets of kindness truly makes me feel so much better. Thank you
Normally I watch these with a smile, but I rarely get emotionally impacted by things. But this compilation -- and your enthusiasm, your candidness, and your ever-witty one-liners -- they genuinely improved my mood. Thanks for doing what you do and highlighting that there's still good out there in the world.
My 6’3 mechanic husband constantly has painted nails and we are also in the south. When he shows up to work the other guys just smile and ask which kid painted them.
1:15 The squeal 🥹 tells me everything I need to know. And I always freaking LOVE that next clip 😊 also you and your girlfriend are so cute omg, love that for you❤❤❤
The segment at 2:33 where he analyzes the good man's response should be in a course called "How to be a Green Flag Partner 101"
The first guy is what I call passive aggressively being a gentleman.
Or just a jersey guy talking
@@jenniwilliams3295it is VERY Jersey
Seems to be deliberately ignoring her, really. She wants to take him out and pay, telling her to use one of his cards doesn't accomplish that
Arkansas here too and i know how you feel about having adhd. It sucks sometimes .
Wear your bright colors BECAUSE YOU ARE A SHINING KING!!! YOU GLOW KING! GLOW!!!!!
my stepdad used to let me paint his toenails and he’d wear it for weeks until I took it off to repaint it, definitely a core memory for me, he’s the best dad I could’ve asked for❤️
Dustin thanks for always posting quality videos and I also love the commentary that you do on your content keep being great sending you and your family blessings 🙏💙💜
7:28 The puppy's just like "Sup?"
You’re in Arkansas? Me too! I’ve got a walking green flag for you if you ever visit Johnson Co. My hubby is the sweetest most honey roasted guy there is. Raised my two children when he didn’t have to, the best girl dad ever. He now is the best Poppa ever to our one and only grandchild who was named after him. He moved back here with me to help me care for my mother. I lost my teaching job this year after 30+ years in the classroom and he has decided that my only job now will be my mother and our grandson. He tells me I’m pretty and buys me fried pickles. He’ll be 50 this fall and he has no idea how amazing I think he is.
As a Mum with ADHD who has a teenage son with ADHD, and a counsellor, I have not met anyone with ADHD who does not have some trauma. Mostly from school thanks to peers, teachers and the educational system. Or parents/siblings who spend more time tearing you down for being different than building you up.
You are a remarkable young man to be open about your ADHD, and without going into too much detail, the impact others have had on your confidence and social awareness. Your videos are not only amusing, but showcase no matter how others have acted towards you, you outshine them morally and emphatically. So hold your head high, and be proud of finding a wonderful way to push your social awareness limits, get that dopamine hit, and provide amusement for others that only those with ADHD can do. As I remind my son, regardless of what others think, ADHD is a superpower others can only aspire to.
I have it, don’t have any trauma, but I do have a PhD.
A supportive family and private schooling helped.
8:00 dude, same
let's never be jealous of kids that they grew up healthier than we did.
Just randomly got recommended your shorts starting this morning and holy shit this is what I need right now so bad. Subscribed for sure!
"GET HONEY ROASTED" will never not be funny😂
My friends used to say aggressive compliments and then yell, "HA, BROASTED!" It's the same energy, and I now need to incorporate this into my vernacular.
My mom actually used to help me match my clothes once I started picking my own. She was very gentle about it, just sitting me down and explaining why you don’t wear all your patterns at once, stuff like that. Nowadays I love fashion, and she never has anything but kind words for me, and I still use some of her advice since I’m autistic and didn’t really understand stuff like that inherently
6:50 I love puppies so much! My 3 year old dog is a Chihuahua who seems to be mixed with a Golden Retriever and it's such a perfect mix that he's like a permanent Golden Retriever puppy. It's also obvious that he's a Chihuahua but he's so adorable.
I have to tell you, I’m so glad you work past your social anxiety and run around in a public park with your green flag… the park parts are an AWESOME part of every video! I am loving what you do! From Ottawa, Canada! 🇨🇦
OKG, I had stopped the video just before the different shirt story, and now I have to edit my comment to say I’m so sorry someone (who was, I think, supposed to love and support you) made you feel like that 😞❤️
I painted my boyfriend’s nails black!
And he loved it! And it looks so nice on him.
I’m just really happy that I could help him find a new way to express himself.
The first guy is the definition of aggressive kindness 😂
I just moved to Arkansas and I'm only now getting your videos. Why didn't RUclips recommend you earlier? I had to pause several times because I was laughing so hard.
Also about the one comment sticking: been there. Everyone needs to spread more kindness.
I have only recently discovered your channel, and I love it! It brings me comfort and feeds my soul to see the kindness people can be capable of. Thank you for your candor and for sharing your own experiences. Wishing you the best of everything! 😊
That crochet bit was soooooo, sooooo sweet. I loved it maybe bc when someone genuinely appreciates the things I "hand-fashion" it gives me validation, means they're proud of me and I love them for that. 💖 (And he was doing it secretly so there was ZERO manipulation, insincerity or dishonesty.) 💖 💖 💖
I will always be grateful to have the mom I did. School shopping with me was always a nightmare because I wouldn't choose anything and she just wanted us all to have clothes we loved that made us feel confident. Then in middle school, I saw some sports shirts and she noticed I was actually looking at clothes and she excitedly bought me every shirt I picked at Champs and told me I should have told her I liked boys clothes instead and we would have gotten whatever I wanted. That was HUGE for me. We were in a very religious church and this was 25 years ago when people just weren't as accepting. But she made sure I knew she accepted me no matter what and it really helped me become more comfortable in my own skin. And when you are comfortable with who you are the right people find their ways into your life and the wrong ones find their way out.
@9:58 HE has great laugh n I love this couple! That's a great partnership!
The gangsta is awesome LMAO
I just found your channel and I absolutely adore your videos! I couldn't contain my smile or my laughter throughout this video and I love all the fun comments and puns you make! Please never stop making these! They're a much-needed bright spot in this world!
