There’s this guy (22M) I’ve started to befriend at work. I’m beyond attracted to him. Brown curly hair, glasses, handsome. An engineer. Likes to play sports. Chill, confident. He’s got a bit of a swagger in his walk. I’ve noticed him do a casual salute or just put a peace sign to say hi when I walk by. Recently he shook his hands in a “ 🤙🤙 “ gesture as a sort of greeting. He’s got this reserved cool guy vibe when you first get to know him. Listens to rock and indie music. Plays the guitar, likes photography, not a social media user, said he doesn’t like Gen Z vernacular, etc.

He’s also a gentleman, more-so than I’m used to from guys. Waits to let me on/off elevators or any space tbh. Insisted everyone wait for my ride.

I’m not sure what this vibe is but it seems very cool and I feel profoundly uncool in comparison. Any insights from men who were like this in their younger days? Is there a name for this and how can a gal impress a guy like this

have a bit of a dilemma that I'd like some input on. I have this female friend who I'm really close to, and while I'm not attracted to her romantically or physically, I find myself curious about her past and personal history.

I want to emphasize that my curiosity stems from a genuine interest in getting to know her better as a person and not from any romantic intentions. However, I'm unsure if it's appropriate for me to inquire about her past and if so, how should I go about asking her without making her uncomfortable?

Has anyone gone throught same feelings and what did they do about it ?

I (37f) have been with my husband since 2017. We lived together for three years before getting married almost three years ago. His snoring was always an issue, but he was more open to certain solutions in the past - breathing strips, rolling onto his side, white noise Playlist, etc.

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and exhausted. I'm not sleeping at night because of my husband and the baby. The baby hiccups and kicks at night, which sounds cuter than it really is. On top of that, my husband still snores. Last night I woke him up twice to ask him to roll over. The second time was around 5:30 AM, at which point he got up and went to his office in our basement to play on his computer.

I came down about an hour later and suggested he go to an ENT. During my lack of sleep I was looking up options to alleviate his snoring, one being a mouthpiece provided by an ENT. He got really upset with me and said no. No reasoning, just no. When I pressed him about why he won't go, he yelled at me that he doesn't need to give a reason and that he'll just sleep on the pull out couch.

I hate this solution because he's basically leaving me high and dry with the baby, since the plan was to have the baby sleep in a bassinet in our bedroom for the first six weeks. I mentioned this to him, he said he will figure it out.

Why won't he just go to the ENT?

I’ve asked the same question on the ask woman Reddit, but I want to see what you guys think

Im (19m) roughly 206 weight about 5”11 i go to the gym about 3-4 days a week ( put this info to get somewhat of a body type description) . I have recently been talking to this chick for about 2 months now , we often talk and text a lot throughout the day and the past 2 weeks she has been starting the convos with “Hiiiiii” or “heyyyy” and has been calling me a bit more frequently on either FaceTime video or audio we stood up calling up to about 3 am a few times .we have hung out a few times she offers to pay or split the bill and often tried to check her schedule if she is available .She often asks me about how’s stuff looks or my recommendation I know some of those are signs of affection but the problem is she’s jus one of those nice chicks so I’m having trouble trying to correlate these actions with wether she likes me or it’s just her being her.From my perspective I believe these are signs that she likes me but the issue is that sometimes she might call me by a nick name Including my name (not issue) but she has called me bro like 1 times or homie in a joking manner. She even asked me about my taste in woman. I had some relationships in the past but I’m not the best in taking hints and I’m just wondering if I can get any advice how to handle this situation and what I can do.

Deep Sea Fishing, Trout Fishing, Bass Fishing, Fly Fishing, Catfishing, Spearfishing, Magnet Fishing? When was the last time you wet some line?

So I’ve seen some people say they measure it from their pelvic bone and that’s the correct way, but that seems illogical to me.

But I’m unsure where else to measure it from.

If I measure it from the pelvic bone I’m 7” Is that okay?

Thanks

I just came back to work from a 3 week break. The difference between being totally relaxed on holiday and being in my work from home software job has been huge. My breath is much shallower, my muscles feel tight, my libido has tanked and my sleep schedule is drifting later and later.

I don't think my work is that stressful and my performance has always been good. My body seems to be disagreeing with me though, and I don't know how to calm it down. I'm late twenties, physically active, don't smoke/drink that much and have a good social life.

How do you guys deal with this?

Everything was working fine with my Johnson a couple of months ago. But then I started dating an elder woman, and one night I had issues maintaining an erection (fair bit of alcohol involved). She did not handle this situation well and we kinda ended our situationship. The issue is, I now have problems maintaining an erection when I am alone(this has been an on going issue for 2 months now). I worry about my dick instead of enjoying myself (my libido hasn’t been the same lately). I know there are pills, but I wanted to try other things before using them. Any of y’all been in a similar situation? What worked for you? FYI: i workout few times a week, and mostly eat clean. blood work is all good (total test is a low-normal in high 400s, but free T is high) and I do get nocturnal erections at times! So it is definitely a psychological issue

Maybe it's a major event, a relationship, or even a failure that leads to new understandings about yourself and the world around you. I want to hear about the biggest lessons you've learned in your lives.

Sometimes i feel like my mind is everywhere while driving, but somehow i always get home safely, like im on some sort of autopilot.

I (17M) have a 27-year-old female friend, we’ve known each other since two years, so I was 15 and she was 25. I’ve read that a lot of parents wouldn’t allow such a friendship, especially since it’s opposite genders (and we’re both straight). But can’t this be like a regular platonic friendship? It’s a regular, platonic friendship? Not a romantic one.

If your 15-year-old son had a 25-year-old female friend, would you allow that?

It's often said that in many places, it's hard to make friends after college/university. But to those of you who made friends later on life, what circumstances led to that?

Like let's say you met a guy who supports the same team as you in whatever sport (i.e. Basketball, American Football, Football/Soccer, F1).

Has that ever led to you working with the guy on a business or recommended them for a job based off of that shared love of sports?

My dad told me this used to happen a lot in his day, where people would literally meet a guy at a game & then offer him a job because they had a good laugh and were part of the same sports fanbase.

I've been dating for 4 years. Done a tonne of work on myself. I'm pretty, tall, successful and overall a catch. Most guys that love bomb, play games etc I just leave alone. I'd like to think I'm not naive. So, met this guy. Date one, huge connection. Hung out three days in a row. Amazing connection. I'm being apprehensive and not believing all the things he's saying. No sex. And he knows I'm not going to fall for it. He's adamant that he's felt a connection and any questions I ask he answers and upon Googling it all adds up. Do you think after three good dates it's reasonable for men to actually feel that strong of a connection. He's weirded out that I'm not leaning in. I'm being weird and aloof to protect my being. I'm 44 and he's 48. Also has a great job. Good looking. Treating me really well.

Especially if the divorce was mostly due to your own dumb mistakes. (No offense, in the same boat)

Did the people you dated ask a lot of probing questions? Or were the conversations less deep into what went wrong and more about the things that currently still affected you? (ie kids, debt, alimony, whatever else)

This question is for non-heterosexual guys too.
