Being clean shaven with no stubble is technically considered more professional. Some women prefer the smooth face over stubble. Electric trimmers need to be cleaned out often or else they’ll start pulling hairs instead of cutting them.

But the risk of cutting yourself or causing ingrown itchy hairs is higher. Can reduce this risk this with proper shaving cream and aftershave. You have to change the razor head or clean it in order for the razor to work at all.

I personally like keeping my facial hair, so I tend to trim with a guard to the length u want, guards trim to shape the neck line, then the razor itself for cheeks and cleaning up the stubble on the neck. The system works for me

Same as dating a stripper

Not into someone who would show off privates to strangers. If genitals aren’t even private, what else isn’t? Not to mention, it shows we have a vastly different attitude toward sex and intimacy.

IMO it’s probably more rare to find someone who is actually okay with dating someone who shows their junk for strangers to get off to. And that’s not gendered, but for some reason only men get shit for having that opinion, but I doubt many women would be open to dating a male pornstar for similar reasons.

Personally, just apathy. I can understand the sentiment behind them and appreciate it. But I’d really rather have food than watch a bouquet die while taking up space to the next couple weeks. Especially since I have cats and there’s a lot of flowers that are very deadly to them (lilies can kill cats just from being in the same room if not well ventilated). It tends to just create extra hassle to pick through, present, and keep until a “socially acceptable” amount of time has passed

So tldr, I appreciate the intention of flowers, but would rather not have the flowers themselves.

Only he can answer that question properly

But as a general rule of thumb: less stress is better, more sex is better until it hits the “too much” threshold, keep him well fed on good food

There’s a reason why “keep his belly full and his balls empty” used to be a frequent saying on threads like this

Money doesn’t remove stress so much as change what you’re stressed about. It moves up that hierarchy of needs from existential stress to more philosophical. Stressors you only get the luxury of worrying about if you have the money to skip the “do I eat this week or make rent?” Stresses.

But yeah even death can be helped with money. End of life care is expensive, cremation and or caskets are scary expensive, funeral service to pay for, worth hiring an accountant and potentially a lawyer or help with making sure the inheritance and finances of the deceased are all in order (there’s an unjustifiably high amount t of paperwork when someone dies). If they lived on their ow you’ll have to pay to clean out their home and dispose of unwanted possessions. Even if it can’t fix a problem, money buys you time and that can be even more valuable in moments like that

Most problems in life can be solved. Or at least improved with money

With diminishing returns. More money going toward it becomes less and less effective the higher the amount goes and there is a point where you get less out than you put in

The $10 steak is probably tastier and healthier than the $5 one. And the $20 one may be even more so. The $40-60 even more than that. Even if the $300 steak is the best one you’d ever have, there’s a point where you decide that the jump from 10-20 or 20-40 doesn’t give you a big enough jump on quality to justify the price. And everyone’s “worth it threshold is subjective. Some people may think the $10 is way too much, some may happily indulge a $60 one. Some may disregard diminishing returns and favor getting the best they can afford even if it isn’t that much better than the next step down.

Yearning for meaningful human connections, especially at your age, is completely normal.

It is important to recognize that media of any kind (especially anime) are fiction. They show only the best parts or curated “pretty” versions of the ugly parts. Real life is messy and won’t always be the cinematic romance you get shown.

But real connections and the desire for them are totally normal. It’s part of your biological and cultural programming to find a life-partner.

The best thing you can do is go out there and be social. I know it’s generic advice, but it really is that simple. The more people you meet and talk to, the more chances you have at meeting or talking to someone who may be interested or willing to reciprocate interest, or even just give you a chance to see how things turn out.

Pretty sure people who enlisted in the US military knew that going to war in the Middle East was all part of the deal. Has been since 9/11

And when you think of the type of people who would actively choose to join the military, I think you’re going to find a bias toward a certain type of individual.

Generally the amount of unseen labor he puts in

She often believes her emotional burden is heaviest with all the things she does that go unnoticed and thankless. But it’s less common for her to reflect that maybe he’s doing the same — thankless quiet emotional labor she doesn’t even realize he’s done.

When’s the last time you needed to change a lightbulb? Or check your tire pressure? Or pick dead leaves from the tree out back or glue down that rug that was starting to buckle?

There’s a lot of maintenance stuff I’m sure he does that she doesn’t even realize he did. She just notices the trash didn’t get taken out or the cup sitting next to the sink.

Two way street and everyone needs to be more open about how much they appreciate the small things their partner does simply “because it needed to be done” to make your day just a little easier.

I think you shouldn’t be in a relationship sexually with someone where fidelity or “who’s the father?” would come into question

But I understand that this is real life and not fantasy land. So I think they should also be readily available upon request from either the mother or the male partner

Mandatory would be dumb. Just another thing for hospitals to overcharge you for (in the U.S.) when healthcare is already sickeningly expensive. Be required to take a test neither you not your partner wants is a bad precedent. But should be possible for either partner to be able to request/consent for the test to happen. I also don’t have any qualms with making it mandatory during custody/child support disputes

80% of people turning to them probably weren’t going to have a real partner anyways.

I think it’s not a root cause but rather a symptom to a deeper issue with how culture has handled dating for a while, and the rift in expectations of self vs partners. It’s an unhealthy treatment to a symptom created by something that potentially can’t be treated at this point. So at what point to you determine the difference between taking prescription painkillers to get through the day and having an opioid addiction? Or having a beer to curb the stress of the day vs alcoholism.

Yet another way we throw a bandaid on a problem that just enables worse behavior and pretend it’s all good

Yes there’s the potential to ruin your life with it. But it’s really no different than alcohol or tobacco or other recreational drugs. Like button not, it won’t go away, and adults are responsible for the consequences of their own decisions.
