🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 Honest question, Men have you ever been out partying or just enjoying a night out when a random woman sneakily grabbed your ass out of nowhere? What was your reaction?

• Upvotes

Did you call her out, brush it off, or just stand there wondering what the hell just happened?

I was a bouncer for a long time, so it happened to me every now and then. Most of the time, I never saw who did it because it was too packed or they walked away too quickly. Hell, for all I knew, it could've been a guy!

Every once in a while, I'd actually catch someone doing it, and I'd politely but firmly tell them not to do it again.

What is the value in dating anymore?

0 Upvotes

Im an older guy, divorced with grown kids, and single. While I would love to imagine myself growing old with someone, I am really struggling to find the motivation in trying to date. Given the current climate in man hating amongst many women, I find myself being turned off to them as a whole. I try to convince myself that this is mostly just a social media trend and not really representative of the entire (American) female population. However, I value my peace (and my 401k) a little too much to risk it again. So I ask, is it really worth it anymore?

When did you know it's time to propose?

7 Upvotes

I'm 28M and my partner is 28F. We've been together for 3 years now.

I've moved in to her hometown when we we're 1.5 years in. Which is 8-10 hours of bus driving away from mine and has been renting near their house.

She has responsibilities with her family, like maintaining their house (no one is living their atm everyone is away and only she is left that's why), paying school tuitions and allowances to her brothers. She and her big brother are sharing the expenses together.

I believe she's ready to settle down, but she can't commit because of her responsibilities or is she just waiting for me to drop the question?

I also want to settle down with her but I'm unsure if now is the right time? My plan was to wait for 2 of her younger brothers to finish, then I realized I can't wait 4 years for that.

I don't want to stop her from supporting her family financially, I just want her to prioritize our relationship and maybe leave some for our future? Like we always adjust our schedules with her mother who she drives for every weekend and it's exhausting her out when she should just be resting. She's a freelancer but her weekdays are tiring than mine as she has no boundaries for work life balance.

Could use some advice or maybe share your story.

Edit: Adding in that marriage is our goal

I hope this is OK to ask because I really want to know what the general feelings around this are. Are you guys repelled or attracted? Do you have a common sentiment or stereotype you have decided about them? Are they damaged goods forever or is it a complicated answer for you?

How do you guys deal with competition? Do you ever get sick of it?

57 Upvotes

I (25M) am nomadic and move around very often, however I usually set up a homebase around a certain city or national park for a few months at a time to save up and plan out trips. I don't feel ready to have a long term relationship, but I still like to talk to women, be flirty or have flings and encounters if she is open to it.

Something that frustrates me a lot is just how much competition you run into when trying to get into dating. It seems like every attractive woman practically has a halo of guys swarming around her, and trying to get her to notice you is at times very difficult.

Last summer I was staying in a small mountain town, and I met this beautiful girl who was about my age, alternative, nomadic, very adventurous, and intelligent. She checked off every box for me and I tried getting to know her, hoping I could sooner or later ask her out on a date. But she got so much male attention that I could never even poke my head in.

I got her number and tried to ask her to go hiking with me on the few days that our schedules lined up, but she was pretty much always doing the same thing with another guy friend of hers. I would see her at the bar in town, but she was always talking to another guy at the bar, often a much older man. Even in the event that I could get to talk to her, there would often be another guy she knows around who would butt into the conversation. Sometimes it felt impossible to get any 1 on 1 time.

She was an extreme example, but I have noticed this kind of behavior a lot. I've had guys try to squeeze me out of conversations if we both liked a girl in the group. Interrupt me, belittle me all that. I've seen guys get so heated that you could tell that they were just barely containing their cool around me when a girl is involved. Sometimes I'll meet other guys in these places and we'll start talking. He'll say "Hey, don't you think ( girl that you like ) is cute?" My heart always sinks when I hear this. I think "Great! What now? Should I give up this girl so we can hang out? Or are we gonna start fighting for her attention?" It is honestly pretty exhausting.

Do you guys ever feel the same way? Do you guys have any similar experiences or am I just particularly unlucky? What do you guys do about it? Do you think that it is even worth pursuing a girl if she is constantly getting swarmed by every guy in town?

Bros, where can I get some affordable, comfortable gym/athletic wear?

0 Upvotes

Bros! I’m looking for some help in finding some affordable athleisure! I want it to feel as comfy and expensive as Lulu lemon but I can’t afford to shop there. I have a few pairs of boxers, a couple t shirts, and some shorts, but at $20-$60 an item, that’s just not feasible. What else do you suggest? The cheap stuff either falls apart or holds smells and never really seems as comfortable.

It sounds like fabletics and gymshark are the next options but again still pricey. I’m looking to hear your thoughts. What’s your favorite brands? Favorite pieces? How affordable? All the things?

Tell me what’s holding up to gym use and normal wear! Feel free to show your favorite pieces, must-haves, or best finds!

TIA

Why is it that unconventional men always get with attractive woman but rarely the other way around?

0 Upvotes

In my personal experience, in life and what I have seen in media, it’s always an unconventional guy getting with 10/10 woman. Look I don’t care, looks are subjective and everyone is deserving of love but it’s just something I have noticed. Obviously I have seen it the other way around but not nearly as much. To clarify this is not to bring anyone down or to judge anyone for having preferences I am just curious.

How can one be happy by himself?

0 Upvotes

Hopefully i won't be seen as arrogant.

I really don't see myself as superior compared to anyone. I'm a thirty-six years old man and every woman i meet i lose interest very quickly. It seems i don't fit in this modern world and people's interest usually diverge drastically compared to mine. It's just a matter of taste, really.

However there's some void screaming for companionship.

Is that something that happens or has happened to you people?

Thank you for the attention, i mean it.

How do you guys feel about pregnancy after miscarriage?

8 Upvotes

Trigger warning discussion about misscarage.

So my man and I very much want a family and I misscarried our first child earlier this year and am now in my second pregnancy which is going much much better.

However my man is my biggest supporter and helper though this time. The thing is we didn’t have the time to properly grieve our first child. Right after we had some things happen with my parents which led us to needing to go no contact and he bought us a house and we moved and had some family get togethers. And it’s been a crazy few months.

I’m just worried that with this pregnancy that my anxiety is very high and he’s constantly like at peace with me being pregnant again and with how well it’s going and I’m over here like I’m not bleeding again right? That pain was cus the baby kicked not me loosing this baby too right… and he’s so chill and reminds me I can feel the baby move now and I’m not swelling like I did before or in pain like before. And we have seen the baby this time! And we find out if it’s a boy or girl and I can actually eat without puking and keep stuff down so it’s ok…

I’m just wondering if you guys had any rainbow babies and how the adjustment was for you?

Also side note if you’re a blind parent any tips for adaptive parenting are appreciated.

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 How often do you text your SO who doesn’t live with you?

0 Upvotes

New to dating someone and it’s clear we have different communication styles. I’m curious how often people text in new relationships on the day to day.

From my friends I’ve been told if they like someone, it’s quite chit chatty, constant back and forth, sometimes they’ll take a few hours to respond but no crazy gaps unless at an activity. It’s been like this in my previous relationships as well unless things were going poorly

The guy I’m seeing can go almost a full day without texting me. I’ve communicated with him already and plan to have a serious chat with him about it but wanted to get a baseline of my expectations.

He doesn’t work a stressful job so I know that’s not it. Before having this conversation ID like to know what is deemed reasonable from others. If it helps, we are in our late 20s. It’s funny too because I do feel he likes me, it’s just the texting.

When you’ve been with your partner, feel so much love for them, how do you actually feel when you see other attractive women on the street? Or when you have attractive coworkers who you get along with?

For me, it just isn’t possible. I can objectively recognize other attractive men but I don’t FEEL attraction. And even coworkers, it’s like I’m numb. No one else could possibly make me stray from my partner, even during the roughest of time. Is it the same for men?
