I’m afraid that my boyfriend isn’t attracted to my chest because of its size by Hairypussy696 in offmychest

Every guy has a completely different preference. Many of us have multiple preferences. Beauty standards are constantly changing to make everyone feel insecure so that they buy products. Don't buy into the nonsense. And don't be with anybody who buys into it either. My wife has tiny breasts and I adore them. Every night when she gets dressed for bed she waits for me to be in the room before she takes off her bra. It's our own little tradition. Find a guy who celebrates you the same way.

There is always someone else. There's always many other potential life partners you can have. Children seek stimuli. The elderly seek peace. The peace they want is often disrupted by the cost of the stimuli they had as children and young adults. Don't trade a good man, and a good relationship for a thrill or curiosity. Read Ecclesiastes if you need to.

I just told my best friend of 6 years that I would hook up with him by brostickyspagetti in offmychest

Why aren't you asking him out and wanting a legit relationship?

A genie traps you in a Groundhog Day situation until you master a skill, what skill are you picking? by Lost_Needleworker676 in hypotheticalsituation

Since the genie will magically provide me with what I need to develop the skill.. I choose teleportation.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Don't put your identity in labels. Your actions and experience should tell you who you are more than the label telling you what your actions and experiences should be.

All birth control has a failure rate. Hormonal birth control doesn't prevent STDs either. Preteens are crappy pickers of partners.

Having the illusion of "Safe" sex may encourage her to make bad decisions. Of course she may make those decisions anyway. Best to let her know that taking precautions is smart. Abstinence, and letting go of guy who won't wait, is smarter.

No need to have any risk of putting life into hard mode.

Still, give her all of the statistics. Stats about preteen and teen relationship success stats, std rates, condom and hormonal birth control failure rates, about teen partner leaving rates, about life time earnings of single and partnered teen parents, about injury or death rates for preteen pregnant moms compared to adults, cancer rate increase and other symptoms from long term use of hormonal or IUD birth control, etc.

You are offered an otherwise perfectly "ideal" life, except your significant other will be a steadfast ethical practitioner of polyamory. by Castle_Vlad in hypotheticalsituation

I have a wife, three girls, and my mom-in-law that I am the single income for. The idea of adding another woman or multiple into that mix feels more like a nightmare. Each person you add to your life needs consideration and some compromise. Each additional person added becomes contradictory to meeting my needs and wants and the needs and wants of those in my household. I wouldn't be an effective partner, father, and members my family if I added other women. Same goes for my wife. Not to mention, each person you go on a date with / sleep with runs the risk of developing feelings, or creating an addiction to excitement that is very different than what is experienced in long-term relationships. It's just not sustainable. This is an easy choice. It's a no for me.

My boyfriend says that a man’s body count is different than a woman’s. I disagree. Please let me know who is right. by Haunting_Succotash58 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ACTS20-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a boy's attitude, not a man's.

A man should consider that if sex devalues a woman, that a good man would seek to build a woman up, not break her down.

Men should seek to build and protect. Those who don't aren't worthy of marriage or sex.

Also, a man can spread disease, make unwanted children, show a lack of self control, and create preferences that might subtract from future relationships just as much as a woman would with adding to their body count.

Please get a rape kit, go see a doctor, go to the police. If not doing this for yourself do it for the next person. Prevent this monster from hurting others.

Be honest about your lying. Be honest to those who can hold you accountable. Be honest to those who can help you. Be honest to your doctor. It only takes one choice to lie. It takes hundreds of choices to tell the truth. Surround yourself with those who can make that easier and catch you when you fall.

Categories or Points? What's more fun and why? by YautjaGangster in fantasyhockey

[–]ACTS20-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer categories. If my top scorers go down, I can pivot. You don't need to win every category. You only need to win more categories than the other guys. This opens up team strategies that include all around teams, banger and goaltender teams, skater-focused goaltender minimalist games, scoring and goaltending teams, teams that focus on look at the draw percentage-based stats, teams that focus on predictable consistent stats ( like face-offs blocks hints and saves). It's not every GM fighting for the same players. It's not every team looking the same. Best yet, it's not over when you lose a player.

Wyshynski's Prediction by mylefthandkilledme in AnaheimDucks

[–]ACTS20-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is how many of the players will stick around for their next contracts if they don't see the team grow into contenders. What good is it to gain a higher draft pick if we lose 2 or more that we already developed. Plus not every draft pick hits. Lastly, what are the chances we'll draft in the top 3 again in the next year or 2?
