OK, so writing this quickly because I’m just floored that this happened and I want to kind of know an idea of why he did it, i’ve been seeing this guy for like a year now we hang out every day and what not we aren’t official or anything also, however we were sitting in the garage hanging out, smoking some weed, and he asked me for a photo of myself which I’ve sent him photos of me before so I sent him a cute spicy photo like he asked, and then not even two minutes later, he sends me back the same photo AI generated to be smaller and snatched, so I replied with that’s whack and all he said was “ why?” I am still confused because he seemed so nonchalant about it that it’s like he didn’t realize it was a POS thing to do, but like what the fuck made him do that? I’m not a fat chick , I’m tall and I am average build I would say. So ya, someone tell me what he was thinking?
In anyway, if you do, how do you get over it or move on from constantly feeling like you’re below other men or women?
This could be in the sense of financially, physically, anything really.
Meaning not into you romantically / beyond just hooking up / not serious about yiu
35 years old. Slim (185lbs) 6' tall.
Pretty healthy diet.
Very hot wife.
Don't do drugs, my alcohol consumption has been reduced to pretty much zero over the past 2 months
I never excersized but started 2 weeks ago and have seen zero improvement so far with my libido.
out of nowhere my sex drive has completely vanished. Ive been dealing with this for months now. I'm honest starting to freak out about it. Ive always been normal. Always desired sex daily.
I went today to get my blood work done and my total testosterone tested at 15.3 nmol/L (normal range 8.4-28.8). I guess in Canada they won't test free test if your total test is normal... my Dr ordered them to test it but I got this note on my bloodwork ( Bioavailable Testosterone was cancelled because MSP criteria for SHBG testing were not met.)
Can anyone give me some advice here? I have to fix this.
I still get morning wood. I can still get an erection but it takes work now..., and even then it's a weak erection that disappears immediately if I don't keep working at it.
I got some cialis which has helped keep my marriage from these problems but I don't want to rely on a pill. I just want to get back to where I was naturally. As of now I'm nowhere close to how I was before.
Any advice or tips to fix this issue are appreciated.
Let’s assume you were driving out with your gf/fiancee/wife whatever you have, if you don’t have one assume you do. You get in a road rage and then the man you got yourself with in this situation starts signaling you to pull over so you could fight. The man seems stronger than you, or maybe you just don’t feel like fighting, you’re just not in the right form(physically tired or weak at the moment). The problem is that you don’t want to chicken out in front of your girl. The reason why i’m saying this is because you most probably screamed and swore when you got in the road rage. Are you just gonna drive away and hurt your dignity and ego or a few punches can be bearable? edit: thank you so much for answering, to clarify, i have never been in a situation like this, i just wanted a few opinions on this topic because a YouTube video called “road rage compilation” popped on my feed and some people are really messy.
If it stresses you out?
for me it would be how people use the quote "Why would I blame the wind for the mess it made while I was the one who opened the window" because the way the quote is set up it saying u have 100% of the blame and the wind have 0. It make sense in some situations like if u never studied for and exam and u fail like that is 100% .
I always hang out with my best friend, just the two of us, to have a good time. But it’s happened more than once that a guy comes up to ask for her Instagram or tries to hit on her. It doesn’t really bother me that they’re interested in her (I’m not secretly in love with her), but recently, it’s started to annoy me how often it happens. It makes me wonder if I don’t give off the vibe of being her boyfriend or if I don’t seem intimidating to other guys. It feels strange. I know it might be a silly question, but I can’t stop wondering if there’s something wrong with me
Is a poor man worthless in this day and age? Is a man who cannot get girls worthless? Is a man who isn't attractive worthless? Is a man who's not physically well endowed... worthless? What does it mean to be worthless?
Obviously, you would take care of long term partner. But at what point in the relationship should you? Or want to?
Been seeing this person for a bit 3-4 months dating officially 1-2. They are upset I didn’t want to take care of them when they were ill. But I don’t want to get sick?
My guess would be that other muscles compensate more so this is just a technique problem? But since it's close to my max shouldn't I still feel it in my chest and the other muscles?
Like should I still pullout or am I safe to cum in the confom inside her?
tell me about your experience with a grundle
I’m a healthy 27 year old, yet I have been dealing with this issue for the past couple of weeks now. I do find it better when I sit as opposed to standing up, but I only feel comfortable doing that at home knowing my bathroom is clean, on the other hand, public toilets… eh not so much!
So i am 16 now and i am exactly 6ft. I think i didn’t even grow inch since i was like 14.5 so i am actually kinda scared. Will i still grow taller?? Any tips or advices on what to do?
(i currently don’t do any sports or workout, some of my friends don’t do anything too but are still outgrowing me. Also i sleep like 6-8h everyday.
ETA: this was a wanted pregnancy.
Long story short, my fiancé (26m) and I (25f) recently experienced a loss and while I'm shattered in my own ways (a lot stemming from being a female/the one to experience the physical side of things) - I still want to remain a supportive partner.
So men of Reddit: what do you wish your partner knew about how pregnancy loss impacted you or ways that she could show support?
Thanks in advance and love to you all🫶
I got canned from my job in January 2024. I went on unemployment benefits and collected all 39 weeks until it ran out. I recently got a seasonal job at Target, and will go back on unemployment once the seasonal job ends and then proceed to collect all 39 weeks again.
Loser behavior to do this?
I'm trying to get a certain waist measurment - I have never had a waist like either of those to but I have decided I'm going to reach this goal. Which one do you prefer and why?
chat, should we give porn their flowers?
I feel like a lot of the comments are going to say, “just go have real sex bro” .. like “having real sex”is as easy as getting a mcdouble from the drive through at mcdonald’s. ohhh please. yeah ok buddy.
for me I find sex to be strategic like chess and not that simple. you gotta meet the girl , connect and vibe to see if it’s even a match , you gotta sometimes court her and spend money. it’s not simple. you have to put in work. and if your not looking like brad pitt, chris hemsworth or chris brown you pretty much have to go and search for these girls like a sailor at sea going fishing.
other than experience , where is the best place to learn and actually get educated on real sex top tier sex specifically, if it’s not taught by the school system, your parents, or you have no friends or your homies are wannabe sexgods but they really don’t get none & and all the girls in your area are either not your type or have boyfriends or simply just inexperienced or prude?
had a user comment under one of my post “real life isn’t porn” - ok buddy
then what is real life ?
is wanting to have top tier sex a fantasy? not attainable? a myth ? Is that not real life?
I don’t think everybody has to look like the cover of a magazine. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. porn is often shamed & not praised & porn is often not respected by a lot of people. & I get it and I respect that. porn can be a distraction..
I’ll say this though. should we give porn their flowers in this respect?
regardless of all the rebuttals you can possibly say…..in a certain respect, pornstars are like “athletes in the bed “- just like nba players are athletes on the court.
yeah everyone isn’t going to be like steph curry or kyrie Irving or the legoat james that’s why they get paid the big bucks. that’s top shelf , crème de la creme, elite of the elitest.
those players can be considered what you would say “not real life” “not your average man” - pause. (in regards to athletic ability) but if someone’s interested like myself in just being better overall they can learn a lot from them and add it to there game / life - in the bedroom , gym and workplace.
I know that certain things are “fake” in porn like the script & the length of how long they have sex. there’s a lot of editing involved behind scenes. it’s a film production after all.
but that doesn’t neglect from the fact that I’ve learned some things from watching some game tape in porn not gonna lie , regarding sex positions, techniques & what kind of girls I like & etc
if your ok with your sex life then ok cool.
for me “I’ve always wanted to perform like a pornstar”, - there I said it. I’ve wanted to perform like a porn star since I was a kid.
I don’t want to have the same lazy boring kind of sex everyday till I’m 105, it makes me cringe. I want to be able to have high level sex as long as I can with myself , my wife or girlfriend or whoever it is, godwilling.
I've been taking a bit of a break from alcohol recently, butn I've been struggling a little bit on nights out. Some minor challenges:
What's your staple when you're in a pub/bar but taking it easy?
I (f/21) just started my first corporate job and the dress code is kinda office casual. I never wear bras and today I wore a tight shirt and as it is getting colder i guess my nipples were poking through my shirt. I noticed quite a few people at work (mostly men) looking/staring at them. I read on a few other posts that men mostly don't mind seeing nipples poke through the shirt but I was wondering if it is different in a working environment. Like is it unprofessional to not wear a bra like it would be to wear a crop top?
so i’m a guy and i recently broke up with my girlfriend because our arguments were starting to get rampant, one of the biggest arguments we had was the use of protection during sex, now we were both tested for std’s so that was not an issue, however she would refuse my usage of condoms every time we had sex, it got to the point that she would refuse sex with me if i put on a condom before we did the deed, now it does not help that we come from a very conservative country and most people here are not even aware of birth control methods other than condoms and of course most people do not use any kind of birth control.
my girlfriends take on this was that since she was sexually active for the last 5 years and never used condoms with any of her partners and never got pregnant it just wouldn’t happen, however i find this to be kind of an immature take on the subject.
i want to know others thoughts on this subject, do you protect yourself or do you just let life take it’s pace so to say.
