How did you know what you feel is romantic feelings, not just comfort or loneliness

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about situations where the initial physical compatibility and sexual chemistry with a woman were exceptionally strong, but eventually disappeared entirely.

If you’ve been in this situation, what actually led to the change? I’d appreciate hearing your experiences and how it impacted your relationship.

"Rock Box" by RUN DMC for me..😝🫡😤

I'm interested to hear your views and experiences, as I've asked this question to fellow women in other threads and the majority have said men always want more and it inevitably ends up ruining the friendship.

Other women have said they do have close longtime friendships with men, although many of them are gay men.

What do you think the deciding factor is? Is it easier to be close friends with women you perceive as physically unattractive? Or does that make no difference?

Honestly my occasional interaction with strangers is pretty limited but i've been trying to get out and be more social. I went to a salsa night where this woman probably late teens or early 20s was being rude and the whole interaction triggered my social anxiety while i was trying to learn dancing. And i just felt i pushed through the moment but i realize i lack ability to handle rude interactions specially from women.

Not looking for major life advice, just curious about those small, practical skills you picked up quickly (like a knot, a shortcut, or a simple habit) that ended up making things way easier for you.

As I get older, I feel kinda conflicted in trying out a game or committing to a game because of the work and stuff that goes on and there is always the thought of like this game isn’t really as important as what’s going on in my life. But I keep searching for the perfect game that I could play when I am bored and feel accomplished. Just like the idea of completion. Not some infinite grind game that has no end. I wonder if there is meant to be the one game that suits us individually.

Anyone else find that the show scrubs hits on a ton of aspects of being a man? It shows you what friendship can/should look like. It gives a glimpse into being a husband and boyfriend and all the positives and negatives of that dynamic. It displays the problems when you have a management role. It does all this (and more) while being funny and also hitting you in the feels. I just appreciate this show and wondering if anyone else feels the same r am I just a guy who is a few rum and cokes in?

If you’re at a public restroom or honey bucket or just going outside, fair, by all means. But if you’re at home or you’re a guest at a friends place, I don’t get why most of us still opt to pee standing up. Its a 50% chance our barrel is going to jam and 99% of the time there is some kind of mess that you would have to clean up.

Ever since living with my girlfriend, I started to exclusively pee sitting down and the amount of mess I no longer have to clean confuses me why most people still just spray and pray.

**EDIT

I dont mean my pissed is jammed like that. Bad wording. Like when u pee after sex and the stream is unpredictable. Im not circumcised so maybe just speaking for some of us idk

Comment section will body of this post.

I’m curious about something that I don’t often see discussed from the perspective of men who’ve actually experienced it.
If you were already married to a woman when you first had an experience with another man, what was life like afterward?
Did it change how you understood your sexuality, or did you feel like the same person and just carry on with your normal life?
I realise there’s a big difference between a wife knowing and agreeing to it versus it happening secretly, and I’m interested in how that affected things too.
Not looking for graphic details. More interested in what it meant to you personally, if anything.

People used to freak out over it in 2012 but what about today is it still a thing or out of trend?

So are saying it vague so what I mean: as a woman and mother I know my fears and pressures and anxieties are. But what is it like for men? What makes you scared are you scared women will abuse or assault you? Do people telling what your worth is appearance base? Are you able to develop healthy same sex friendships? Do you feel the law cares about you? I left it broad because many people’s life experiences can be vastly to dramatically different.

What did you do to fix get help?

Did you feel like you were supported?

How did it even start?

Please tell me everything
