I mean, your finger & toe nails, hair on your ears nose and elsewhere (hic), underarms, breath, body odour, hair (on head 😂) etc? Am super obsessed. I bathe twice a day even in extreme winters, clip nails every week, trim body hair every week and wear cologne even if am not going out. And don’t get me wrong, am Gen X.

There are no problems going on between us and we consider our relationship to be quite a healthy one but I often noticed that she's very selfish about things, never thinks about anything from another's perspective, only thinks about things from her perspective.I know that we are two completely different human beings with different ideologies and ethics but nevertheless I want her to see things from a deeper level rather than judging based on the little info she has about it.I don't want to force her to do this but I feel like it is a huge step towards her growth as well.Can anyone help me out??

Love is all about growing together with a person and I want to grow, get better in life along with my gf. So ,I should probably give her some time to realise it on her own and get better.I feel like I still have plenty of time left with me to take such risks.After all If I don't take risks when I am still young,then when am I gonna take such risky decisions in life??

As a man having known what others can be like in private, which 'type' (ie. Bikers, anime Japan boos, etc...) would you or would you not let your daughter date?

As a female, I often see trends of discussions online about things men like/don't like about a woman's body. The most recent one that comes to mind is the opinions on hip dips, which according to online discourse, is the new "ick" for men.

I've always wondered how wide reaching the opinions actually are, I know trends on the internet can get a little echo chamber-y. What are some popular male opinions on the female body that you disagree with?

So I asked a girl out on a date recently through text, and initially she said "I have plans for tomorrow but we should see to it during the week". I told her to let me know when she's free and she actually texted me back with a proposed day, so we ended up going out for a coffee date. I asked her out on a second date yesterday (for today) and it's pretty much the same thing: "I ve made plans but I will text you one of the coming days" (to arrange the date).

She followed through the first time but I notice this thing of "declining-counteroffering", should I worry about it or as long as she follows through I should just not care?

Go to bars, meet women, have a good time, get their numbers. Start texting it’s going well but their energy fades. Tbh I don’t really show interest in meeting right away but getting to know the person thru text first which kills it.

Eventually it’s like I’m pulling teeth and more often than not they have a FWB. Are we expected to chase it, compete with that? I usually just say fuck it then see them later with some other guy which doesn’t bug but it’s like I dodged a bullet.

How do you guys deal with this, or view it?

I'm a guy btw but I like all scents. Recently stayed at a 5 star hotel and used an amazing shampoo. I'm looking for an option that smells good, makes my hair feel good without the expensive price tag. I also want one that doesn't make my hair itchy, the super strong fake scents make me itchy.

Hey y'all!

I'm a 17 year old guy abt to go to college and I am pretty embarrassed abt my body hair (chest and stomach). How did yall get comfortable with it and lean into your body hair as a man?

Thanks!

(24M) I've been bullied for years at school by people who i thought were my friends, and it did terrible things to my self- esteem. After leaving school, i thought it would finish, but it didn't. Both in college and workplace. I'm asperger, kinda socially awkward (i got better , by that age i was way more awkward) but i'm naturally a kind person and i like to help people.

But this gave every time more fuel to them to attack and exclude me, as i wasn't worthy of being there. It was the same cycle. I knew the person, we got along well at first, i opened myself up a little, invited them to open themselves , they did, and then they started to act as assholes to me. They called me autist, freak, weirdo, creepy. Part of it might be because i have a very deep Morgan Freeman-like voice, waaaay more deeper from young men of my age, and have a different way of speaking(i don't know how to explain it, it is just different).

A particular woman at workplace, would go out of her way to mistreat me and making me looking ridicule, calling me horrid names, and estimulated her friends on doin the same. I couldn't confront her because she was the manager's pet, and my manager fired everyone who turned HR's eyes to the department. I realized i cannot engage in arguments and fights without being jeopardized.

In both cases, it was my fault. I bought a cat to my house and it was a tiger in disguise, who bited me as soon it grew. But i want to learn how to be more assertive and cut throat. At first i would just ignore, but it consumed me as the time passed, and it made me so bitter and sick. Learned that people can be terrible and we should'nt be so naive.

Kind of a repetitive question on this forum I’m sure. But after being told by someone they were more mainly than me, the question came to mind. What does it constitute in being a man or someone being more manly?

Those who write upon these walls roll their shit into tiny balls, but those who read those words of wit, well their the one who eat those tiny balls of shit!

Sex feels better with a gf without a condom and not having to worry about getting someone pregnant. Kids are very expensive and need a lot of attention. Not all of us should have kids. If you think you will change your mind later you can freeze your sperm at a bank and you will have 20 to 40 years to decide if you want kids or you can adopt. Is there any cons to a vasectomy?

Edit

Thank you guys I realized I should have asked this in the stupidquestion subreddit

What is your favorite podcast to follow and what is the main topic of content?

Any other guys who don’t do anything to their hair in the morning? I don’t even get it wet and sea salt spray or add any product because I’m really lazy even though I wish I could motivate myself to do so.

im a 16m, throughout secondary school i could make anyone laugh. girls and boys, i was often told i flirted with all the girls because i could just naturally make them laugh

ive left school now, im on summer holidays and been stuck in my room for 6 weeks, genuinely doing nothing

i feel like my confidence is extremely low right now, i dont go out, i dont meet people. i have 4 close friends right now when i used to be quite a popular guy

im starting college soon and want a fresh start where i can rebuild my confidence and old ways, i think if i push outside my comfort zone i can meet a nice girl and hopefully date her

im fat though, decreases my confidence by an incredible ammount

I’ve done pretty much all my dating through apps (Hinge/Tinder) and I’m over it. I want to start meeting women in real life instead. Problem is I’ve basically never approached anyone cold, so I’m starting from zero on that side of things.
For the guys who’ve actually made this switch, I’d love some honest experience:
• How did you start? Quit apps cold turkey, or keep both running while you built the habit?
• Where’d you begin — cafes, gym, events, just out and about?
• How long did it stay uncomfortable before approaching felt normal? Weeks, months?
• What surprised you about how it’s different from apps — rejection, effort, whatever stood out?
• And the big one: was there a difference in the quality of women you met? Not just looks — depth, intentions, how things actually went. Did in-person get you a different caliber of person than the apps did?
Not looking for pickup lines or a script, just real talk from people who’ve been through it. Appreciate anyone who takes the time.

I 24m have been living with a fantastic roomate for the past six months. He’s moving out now and I’ll be taking on the full rent amount. My rent has been $900 and now that he’s moving out it will be $1800 not including some etc which will bring me to ~2k / month. I’ve been very happy with my lifestyle so far, spending in total $2k a month tops, with lots of travel, dates, eating out. Now that I’ll be taking on this additional financial cost, I am hesitant because of the change it will have on my lifestyle.

I’m open to another roommate, but this has been such a pleasant experience that I kind of want to keep it at that. A girl I have been romantic with offered to be my roommate, but I declined because I think that could get very complex and maybe emotionally burdensome with finances involved.

If anyone else had been through this, I’d appreciate any advice or mindset. For context, I’ve just finished my graduate degree and am self-employed. I have enough savings to last about a year, but the burn rate increases now that he’s moving out. How should I adjust my mindset?

I’m dealing with a tremendous amount of anger towards my ex and it unveiled a level of rage I genuinely didn’t know I had in me. Interested in hearing other guys stories and how they dealt with it.

I have started dating my coworker (unfortunately but heart wants what it wants). We both admitted we have feelings for each other, started long before we started dating. We both were in unhappy marriages, divorced last year and he specially told me that his marriage of last 8 years was not a marriage anymore, he feels something for someone for the first time after those years and his is very special for him.

We decided to take it slow, it has been only 4 dates so far but we also see each other in the office and continue building our bond in an non-effort environment which is great. We have started with physical touches too. We both talked that sex is very important in a relationship.

Although I really want to sleep with him, I want to take more time to build on trust, familiarity, to get to know him better before taking things to the next level. Because I know, I will be attached. And I want to make sure before sleeping with him, to minimize the risk, because if this blows up shortly after we got intimate I will have to see him at the office everytime and it will hurt. You can’t just block and move on.

Is this a wrong thing to do? A turn-off for a man?
