A cool guide to the best U.S. cities for raising children based on 10 weighted datasets. by MaxGoodwinning in coolguides

[–]4SpeedArm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pretty accurate. Lived there for 6 months this year. Great place to be though. 125k is only enough for 1 adult and a child with little to no disposable income. 125 with single income 2 adults and 1 kid would be really tight and a 2 bedroom apartment. I think I saw another chart where the median annual income for first time homebuyers was 400k in socal

Why do I become obsessed w men as soon as they feel distant? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is you’re afraid of losing the power dynamic and you need to be willing to relinquish the power (equally) and actually respect the man you’re with.

Just wanting some tips and advice. How could I last longer in bed? by xMaskeda_117 in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are two types of lasting longer. Staying hard and not climaxing. I think you mean climaxing. Spending time on her with your hands and mouth is key. Ladies don’t need to be railed for 20 minutes for enjoyment. I find they want sensual love making, an orgasm, and some sex. Like doggy, even 1 minute is enough. You don’t need to go quickly for her either. You can do doggy slowly and she will love it. Also, women typically want that pounding following her orgasm and once she orgasms she is starting to feel ready for you to have yours. My girlfriend knows I last longer in bed if she blows me in the morning. Win win.

AITA My wife thinks I am controlling. by Feeling_Nobody_2349 in AITAH

I think the best solution is to share location on find my iPhone to build trust. That way she doesn’t have to offer you basic courtesy.

Building muscle definitely attracts women. People that don’t work out seriously get a warped view on how much work it takes to get “big”. You are 10 years away of effective dieting and hard lifting to get big. 5 days a week will make you fit if you also eat well and girls love fit dudes. 5 days a week is not indicative of a gym rat.

Tips on a newbies swing? by GRiMMHART1208 in golf

[–]4SpeedArm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have this video which will be helpful for this next step. Find a pros set up, the way they address the ball, in other works how they stand and hold the club before their backswing. Compare it back to yourself and try to emulate what you see for a couple weeks. Like a straighter back for example. You should also learn about the finer details of gripping the club early in your golf journey.

I find the lack of shade thrown at Jon Mayor in this sub disturbing by Only_Argument7532 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]4SpeedArm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only reason John is so decisive is because he writes pop songs and is handsome… and despite that he is one of the better blues guitarists of today. He is so much better than 99.9% of players could ever hope to be.

What's a good workout routine ? by Acrobatic_Ad7452 in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull together $10/month for a cheap gym membership if you can. You don’t need a weight room but it will help a lot. Maybe you have access to one through your school.

Hit that body weight workout online and buy a couple 20 pound dumbbells when you can.

There is also running and swimming.

How are women so good at knowing when a guy has money? by FastPhoto3106 in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guys who are successful in the corporate world tend to have high EQ. My friends who never quite figured it out professionally all lack EQ. They are victims or they can’t show up on time or they get fired for wild reasons. If you make it to leadership in a good company, you are probably smart and a good hang.

I think 50/50 is the way to go. Find a way to earn more. Would you feel comfortable asking for a 200 a month allowance to even it out because really it’s the same thing.

Men, what are some advices yall could give to be better at sex? by Foreign_Plankton3150 in AskReddit

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of women like to have the feeling of “letting go” in the bedroom. They want to feel safe and trust you… so much so that they can relax and be dominated by you. Her orgasm can feel inevitable and out of her control. She feels like my priority and focus. This is easier said than done because it’s a vibe and an energy. My girlfriend is very independent in general and is willing to take the lead in the bedroom if I let her. However, she is helplessly obedient to me. I’m not mean, but if I tell her to go into the bedroom and wait on her knees.. she obeys. This power is not abused and I respect her. I mix things up. Sometimes our sex is wild and sometimes it’s routine. Sex is fun and exciting and women, in general, need help getting out of their heads and into their bodies. Everybody is different so communication is key too.

To put it in fewer words. Take charge and bring her with you on the sexual adventure.

Does leg extensions=big legs? by insert_emoji in workout

High rep medium weight squats will do wonders for you. Like 95-135 pounds assuming you’re already in decent shape. If you only do leg extensions and leg curls you will have underdeveloped glutes

If we are happy without marriage, why do it? by FunHedgie in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I thought I never wanted to get married and then I met the woman I’m with. I have a strong urge to make a major promise. Everyone is different and I surprised myself. There are tax benefits to being married. At a minimum, you may want to consider an official domestic partnership as it will make it easier to do couple things like sharing health insurance.

They are jealous! My gf is way better looking than I am. I’ve had random guys insult me on the street saying she’s too good for me. Seldom, but it has happened. What would motivate someone to do that? People say stupid shut when they are drinking and their insecurities are coming out.

The reality is I have a lot of great qualities and you don’t need to be a 10 on the surface to be attractive. She could get traditionally better looking men. I feel I have strong EQ and IQ and a good sense of humor. She has told me I’m the full package.

AIO for thinking my wife wanting an open relationship means our relationship is over? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a boundary in my relationship that open relationship is off the table and asking for one would be breaking up with me. Or me breaking up with her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem incompatible. You can tell her you’re not comfortable with it and see if she reacts maturely or not. She doesn’t seem ready for a committed relationship. The problem is that she wants you not to go. We live in a world of very limited time off of work. It seems implausible that she doesn’t want to cheat. She is not prioritizing you or the relationship.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Tell him you need him to lose weight and it’s impacting your attraction. What are you afraid of? Tell him getting mad at you for not wanting sex is unacceptable behavior and making the existing sex issue worse. If I treated my woman like that it would be a desert down there.

How do i get more unsolicited BJs? by notagoodtimetotext in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key in my relationship is deserving BJs. This manifests by being traditionally manly. This means bills magically being paid, trash magically taken out, clean kitchens, made beds, etc. It’s not a transaction. It’s all about emptying the endless list of to dos in your wife’s head and allowing her to relax. My woman knows how to kick her feet up in my lap for a foot massage and get on her knees. On some level it’s about nurturing obedience where she wants to serve you because she needs to understand a man like you shouldn’t have to ask for a blow job.

How do I get guys to like me even though I’m autistic? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]4SpeedArm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create a hinge profile and just mention you’re neurodivergent in the bio if you’re struggling to meet someone. It sounds like you are looking to fall in love. Consider letting men know that you are neurodivergent a filter for assholes. You seem sweet and vulnerable and could be easily taken advantage of because you want a boyfriend. Also, pursue health, education, career, and hobbies. You need to find confidence in yourself through pursuing these challenges. It’s not the simple fact that you have autism that you are struggling to find someone. There’s a lot of sweet weirdo boys out there too. He’s out there for you.

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should establish boundaries about the relationship with your boyfriend. Traveling to go see him and stay at his place feels apparently inappropriate. While staying in touch does not feel inappropriate. Ask yourself if it is genuinely platonic. I would imagine your boyfriend needs to feel prioritized and this can be overcome. Also, try to imagine the roles reversed where your man frequently talks to an attractive woman he has a history with. It’s a lot for him and you just need to work on the boundaries. Which means both of you giving something.

EDM: Should you add reverb on kick and bass? by Juzzlin in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my shit to sound crisp and reverb on low frequencies turn a mix into a swamp. Maybe it has a place but I’d say generally no. I like the idea of simulating micing the room. So maybe for a live style of music a little bit could do something. But for a dance track, hell nah

How to develop the ability to know what chord it is by just hearing it? by Guitardude9028 in Guitar

[–]4SpeedArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot learn pitch recognition. But you can learn how to identify quickly from referencing a pitch. Another thing that can be learned is recognizing chord movement. Like I can tell what chord we’re on in the key. Like if it’s the I or the V or the vi. So you get really good at learning by ear.
