Hello, esteemed gentlemen (and connoisseurs of fine footwear),

I’m on the hunt for a pair of trainers that strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. I aim to achieve my 10,000 steps without compromising on aesthetics—no bulky shoes that scream “function over fashion.” Could you recommend trainers that are both comfortable for long walks and stylish enough to keep me looking sharp? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been seeing this girl recently, nothing serious, just a few dates and my friends have said that i look extremely awkward when i’m around her. I have also realized that I just don’t talk about myself that often. What can I do to fix these things?

Basically want to know what type of places you volunteer at. Also would like to know what you like about the place you volunteer at.

I have never heard of a woman who is a doctor, engineer, lawyer, accountant, etc dating a man who works as a fry cook at McDonald’s or a cashier at Walmart even though these men are everywhere on dating apps. Successful women are known to use dating apps too. Are they not matching with poor men?

Asking for real stories from personal experiences

Met a woman who wants to get married fast(she told me by January) because she’s on a school visa and it either ran out or will run out soon. She seems like a good woman but I know it’s near impossible to get too know someone in 2 months. Plus I’ve been told it’s best to live with a person first. My brother got married pretty fast but what’s your thoughts on this situation? Should I run?

Like I feel like guys love tattoos and like body piercings, or at least think they are hot… I find them revolting, but on the flip side I totally get into heavy makeup, and many guys are different and say they like the “natural” look.

So when everyone “zigs” how do you “zag”?

RIP my youth

The worst part of getting older is having the money to buy a wrx Impreza modded to the gils, test driving it, acknowledging you’ve never driven anything with that type of power or speed…

And then buying a fucking jetta tsi because you don’t want to get in a goddamn argument with your wife every time the trunk or backseat is too small to do something.

I’m despondent. Doing the responsible thing for my age (40) and family is basically telling my inner 18 year old that the car he’s always wanted and can now afford isn’t gonna happen. But I know it’s the right thing to do. So I’m buying a jetta TSI, and while it’s perfectly fine…

It ain’t a rally car like I knew I had when I was spending money on INITIAL D in 2002, and that makes my inner teenager who never had a rally car sad

I am looking to get my husband some good quality shirts and shorts this year for Christmas but I’m having trouble sifting through all the stuff that says they have good products but are actually cheap and cut weird so it doesn’t fit right.

He likes shirts that are not form fitting around the armpits and have a looser fit toward the bottom. I’m not sure if there is a name for that kind of fit? The material HAS to be breathable or light.

For shorts it also has to be light material, so no double layered shorts and they gotta be around knee length. He likes athletic shorts and those shorts that double as a bathing suit or like khaki shorts but again the material has to be stretchy and light.

Any suggestions on companies or brands that have good quality clothes like this?

Two Qs in one.

Haven’t been able to make a friend since I was 12. I’m 21 now

Don’t want to make this post whiny but was a loner all throughout school and was left alone most of the time at home.

My life consists of working from home as an IT consultant and occasionally going into the office, going to the gym to lift weights and then going back home to do whatever. I’ve never had any real interests and just find ways to pass the time (video games, films/series, internet).

Im not socially anxious anymore but the times I’ve tried to be social it’s draining, especially in a group like after work drinks, I’ve not got much banter or chat. I’m better 1-1 and I’ve tried but still seem to repel everyone. I have no problem sitting in silence it’s peaceful for me, but people find it uncomfortable and try to talk a lot.

Honestly I’d be real happy to lift weights with another guy and not have to talk as much. I’ve got a trainer but it’s his job to be my friend so it doesn’t count. Definitely prefer to do an activity and talk then say, go to a pub and sit and talk about anything. I think the latter would be something I’d enjoy only with long term friends which I’ve never had 😂

I’d appreciate any advice

What is something you wish you could tell your younger self about mental or physical health?

You’re one story away from making someone’s day, maybe even saving their life.

Let’s spread some laughter!

Mine has to be the farmers market. Total gold mine.

I’m 17 years old and I and I can’t stop dreaming about being together with THAT one girl. Obsessed with her character since I was 14. I don’t know if I am a weirdo but I like my personality but I think no girls like and I was rejected once about 15 months ago. Yeah she’s pretty and all, but I’m literally obsessed with her personality. How to actually forget her? I don’t even dream about intimacy. All I think about is just splitting best moments of life with her

I am married and may have jumped the gun with that a bit. I do love her, but I feel I may never accomplish what I want with her in my life. When I am taking time to work on my hustle, that is when she wants to distract me in different ways like sexy stuff or silly distracting stuff. She doesn‘t really have hobbies and things she does start usually just sits around collecting dust. Painting and sewing/embroidery are two of the biggest ones. I feel like she is a demotivator and causes me to stagnate.

I have issues with porn, especially when I am bored, but the things I really want to spend my time on are met with such resistance. I have to get porn under control, I know this. I know I need to see a therapist, but we are flat ass broke and just hanging on. The biggest problem is that it seems she’d rather me sit around and watch crime shows with her then grind.

When I mention these things, she takes it so personally and doesn‘t understand that there is a time and place for them.

Any advice or thoughts would help.

One is 14, the other is 12. They're into sports games, but I'm pretty sure they already have all the football games that are out. Preferably something not military related.

Im 24 M, preparing for govt exams, never went to college, my friend circle of school is the only circle I'm in touch. All my friends are doing job or some are running there family business. Since we left school distance between school friends has increased.

In the start of 2023 i meet a girl on my coaching, it was my 1st situationship, (never been to any relationship also). We are close but there is always a sence of insecurity as she has commitment issues.

I'm scared of future, what if i didn't get job? What if she has to leave me in between coz here parents fix her marriage? I fear i might not move on from her. Is there any advice so that i can prepare myself for this

The pair at the bottom of the drawer that you wear when it's time to do laundry?

Could be a product, could be a service, could be a policy, could be a hiring/firing process.

I worked for a company that sold memberships. They came out strong when they started but then exploded like crazy.

Within 4 years they had doubled the cost of their memberships and couldn't understand why enrollment was on the decline. They kept pushing aggressive sales goals and one quarter it was posted that only 9% of employees met goal.

They took this to mean that the problem was with the other 91% of employees, and not that their price point/services were actually grossly out of line with what the market wanted. They pushed for faster hiring/firing for failing to meet goals. This resulted in a mass of people faking metrics to keep their jobs.

What has your company done that is so out of touch that you cannot believe they tried it / are still doing it?

This is week one of using a Gaia Male Libido supplement (on top of a multi V and a fish oil cap). I’ve noticed my eyes kind of aching and my mid day energy lower like I haven’t been drinking enough water. Has anyone had a similar experience and learned if it’s due to all that?
