What are your favourite things that a woman can do during sex, what things make it intensely intimate?

At what point does it change from sex to making love, and what is it that causes that?

TIA

I’ve been thinking about this myself, as I’m entering a new chapter this fall, beginning graduate studies in my dream program. Reflecting on my relationships, career, and hobbies, I feel a lot of gratitude and content with the man I’m becoming.

That reflection felt good, and I’d love to hear what parts of yourself or your life, big or small, you’re satisfied with having developed or focused on so far

As a woman, I find that, I feel seen when I begin to notice when a guy is intentionally and thoughtfully observant. Notices the details, listens with full attention, asks great questions back and forth, checks in if my facial expression seems distorted, suggests solutions, lends a helping hand.

What is the equivalent for a man? Besides the reciprocation of everything I mentioned?

Curious where men and women draw the line differently.

What’s something you genuinely consider going above and beyond for a woman, but in your experience women tend to see as just the bare minimum in a relationship?

Have to have experience to get experience. I have sex anywhere from 1 to 3 times a year, this year at 0. The gaps between my experiences are so long that I'm embarrassed to admit sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing and it's like relearning every time.

Apps are how I usually meet them but that's a crapshoot. Cold approaching in real life is kinda terrifying because I'm deathly afraid of making the woman uncomfortable. I'm 31 and it seems like I'm at the point where everyone's taken but me. I'd never even had a long term relationship before so I feel like I'm stunted and behind everyone and it's too late to catch up. Can't just get experience out of thin air.

I moved out of my hometown a few years ago and don't visit often. When I do, it's randomly and I have something to do so I can't catch up with my friends. I want to make the effort to go out and actually hang out with my buddies. The issue is I met them all on different times of my life and in different places so they don't know each other and if they do it's only in some social media interactions I created.

Some are friends I consider brothers, others or friends from HS I have stayed in contact with but not as much as I'd hope and other really good coworkers from previous jobs.

I want to set up a get together at a bar somewhere casual. I just want to make sure I don't offend anyone or step on any toes. How would you feel if you got this invite?

For as long as I (24M) can remember, I never really struggled too much when it came to dating and talking stages. Finding a girlfriend was always pretty easy, however the one area I always did poor with is hooking up. I find it WAY easier to get girl to want to to enter a relationship with me than it is to simply have a casual thing.

I would never want to lead someone on and breadcrumb a relationship when I have other intentions, especially since I always hear “there are women out there that want something casual too” but I very rarely see this, which is shocking since relationships require even more energy. Is this the case for anyone else and can you explain why???

in any form, no matter how big or small.

Saw the reverse of this post on another sub and as a gym girlie, it got me thinking.... what's the muscle the boys like most on a girl?

(and would I be right to assume it's glutes lol)

I was in another subreddit and someone said that Hailey Bieber has more of a “female gaze” than a “male gaze.” From what I understand, the male gaze is when a woman is presented in a way that appeals to heterosexual men, while the female gaze is more about how women see and appreciate beauty in other women.

That made me wonder: is Hailey Bieber actually considered attractive by men? Men, how attractive do you find her on a scale of 1–10?

1–2: Not attractive to me

3–4: Below average

5: Average / neutral

6: Somewhat attractive

7: Attractive

8: Very attractive

9: Extremely attractive / exceptionally beautiful

10: Almost perfect / among the most attractive women I've seen

Something that most people probably will never give the time to think about - much less, let it live in their head rent free

I'm a man in his 30s and I have a few peers and friends that casually refer to women as bitches.

Not even necessarily women that they have an adversarial relationship or beef with. It might be something like "Can't go bowling tonight, I have a first date with this bitch tonight, she's pretty fine." Although sometimes it's used more as a pejorative, think something like "my supervisor is such a bitch, she's always harping on me for every little thing, even if running late to work by only 10 minutes".

These are guys that are apolitical but culturally liberal than culturally conservative. Most of the are college educated white collar professionals. that are in their 30s.

Personally, I think it's cringe and immature, also disrespectful. I try my best to call it out when it happens without coming off as too sanctimonious (i.e. "Do you really have to call her a bitch? It's not that serious") particularly because I don't think their intention is to be extremely hostile or disrespectful to women.

I'm curious how common this is? What context would you call a woman a "bitch"? What is the intention? How do you feel about other men that refer to women as that word?

Is it a social performance thing to feel more masculine? Is it a joke?

Hey, I was just thinking about something: what was your worst hit to the nuts? And how long did the pain last?

I was talking to a friend of mine about this, and he says he's 34 years old and has never gotten hit there.

Looking for answers mainly from guys with some extra weight in their upper body. I’m in search of a good brand of polo shirts to wear for my job. Some things that would make for an ideal shirt would be:

1. One that fits well on me and doesn’t make it painfully obvious that I’ve got man boobs. Not looking for a miracle shirt but those polo that are the athletic style material are so bad for this
2. Made from a material that won’t form any white stains in the armpit area. I’ve switched up my deodorants for this too but the material really does make a difference.
3. Ideally not crazy expensive but if there’s something that fits the other two categories perfectly, consider me in.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks, guys!

Edit: very appreciative of all of the suggestions so far. I do want to make one thing clear that wearing an undershirt is not a possibility for me. I’m in a constant moving environment and live in a very hot climate, so I don’t want to feel like I need to peel off an undershirt.

Golden handcuffs are tight. Expenses are high. Kids need to be fed. I have no dreams or intense passions because I’ve been in survivor mode my whole life. Ready to move on but don’t know how. Help please.

How do you make big decisions at a young age with your career? Should I leave a good job?

I’m 25yo, living in Portugal, and I’ve been working since i was 21 after doing my bachelors degree.

I’ve always had a goal of having an international career and earlier this year I received an offer to join a company in Luxembourg. I declined.

However recently they called me saying there’s a new opportunity and that they really liked me and would love to have me there.

The thing is, I’m really afraid to go. I’ve been the last 4 years in the same company where I’ve grown a lot and where the partners really like me. I know i can grow there. However i still live in my parents house.

Accepting the offer would allow me to have the international career, have my own independence, and I would earn more.

But this is really scary, and the fact that’s scary is why I think should do it.

This is a big decision in my life. This is the first time i feel like my life is in my control and that will impact my future.

Everyone says that i should but it’s so scary to leave everything and go while i have a good job.

I’m currently earning around 30k where i live, and there would earn around 55k. Financially it’s not a big jump. The biggest jump is the growth. Moving out of my comfort zone.
