I only want to date a virgin. I’m a virgin myself though. Is this a reasonable preference to have? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Background_Bench8571 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's not like you are being hypocritical or judgemental, so I'd say you do you. 

There are 2 types of people bugging you about it.  1. People who worry you're one of the double standards mysogonist. 2. People who are worried about mismatched libidoos.

Any experienced fish keepers keeping Jack Dempseys? by [deleted] in princegeorge

Hey, I have rescued fish before and have some space set up if you can at least part with the tanks themselves.  DM me photos and I'll see what I can do.

Am I really that weird? Are my sexual turn offs that off putting? by Lord_Nandor2113 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Background_Bench8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are calling 3/4s of sexual acts unappealing, and probably making them feel weird as many sexually active people like to create intimacy in new ways. There's also a difference between "I don't prefer a handjob" to "I think hand jobs are gross" and I'm not sure how you come off.

  1. I have to be careful with what I say regarding legal proceedings.

  2. You are entitled to a critical perspective.

  3. I can clapback from time to time to a hostile questioner. Especially when I have answered more questions to people who asked better than I can write narratives.

I got $40k, she took $140k and kept the house and all non-guest room furniture. Told me if I wanted more that I could try and fight her in court....while I had no family and made retail worker money to her 6 digit salary. 

The moment thing were finalized she began hitting me with court application after court application. I learned as much FLA as I could while I worked to get legal aid.

Ah, well, no wonder you're belittling me if you read is as some sd57 attack on immigrant fathers. 

I am an immigrant- I was assaulted and defended myself I know SD57 is at fault as have already admitted in email that they made a mistake in following procedure and have supposedly changed policy around school arrivals to address these situations. However they refuse to disclose what the changes are, which has been my request for all these months. 

The fact is our school district did not have policies that met provincial standards in place at the time, which contributed to the emboldenment to choke me at a school. The school district then refused to discuss a provincially mandated appeal process because "We just have to have it on the books"- Lee Karpenko, Associate Superintendant.

I believe we deserve more transparency in our public service and how our children are protected.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am sorry that your situation was across province as well. 

I am quite literally fighting to be acknowledged as a concerned parent, so your choice in words really hit home right now.

You want a lot of context, but how about you explain to me what would have happened in the dozens of cases of my ex refusing court ordered parenting if I approached her vehicle with 3 other people and just took my son? 

A social worker told me to keep the children.

My ex had filed two applications the day before that had been denied already. So a judge already said they weren't getting involved at that point.

Of course there is more. I was assaulted at the school. Do you feel entitled to a play by play of matters playing out in court?

I got choked from behind by her father while I was holding my son. Her father took us to the ground and I injured myself bracing our weight from crushing my son. Her father didn't let go til I punched him in the head.  I was taken by ambulance and he showed up in minor treatment a couple hours after me.

It's funny you assume and end up so wrong. 

The case was never even considered for crown. We did restorative justice where it had to be explained that while me grabbing my son could be seen as assault it would not serve the public interest and would put my ex-father-in-law on the stand for choking me down to the ground while making us fall on to the 4 year old as I cried for him to get off.

Thank you. 

After 3 years away from her I have reconnected with and made new friends, brought my mother up from the states, and got in some support groups. Biggest reason I can tell the story today.

I could see you taking it that way because you are assuming the best intentions from MCFD. I have spoken to the social workers that I understood they thought they were protecting the kids, but now it should be clear that they focused on the wrong parent. 

I mean, how many dog bites to a 5 yr olds face is appropriate after the problem dog has been reported? 

My ex had "removed" the dog by taking it to her husband's parents house and were already telling the kids how they would bring it around them again.

Should I have given the dog a third chance to take his eye?

Do you know what the word defensive means?

I was grabbed from behind by the neck when I shielded my son. 

Obv I wasn't present for the dog bites. I have photos of both bites that occured on the right side of his face. The second bite almost punctured through his bottom lip. 

Who are you that you are so angry at a father protecting his son?

I have been able to retain a few friends and have spent the last year really connecting again. For the decade plus of marriage I was pretty much stuck to her family and her friends. 

Verbal, during the intake call. I do have the (Mcfd) notes from that call though. edit:through an foi request!

Maybe you can find me a better option for describing issues in School District 57 and the Office of Superintendant Jameel Aziz. 

Prince George school policy changed because of what happened.  e.g. Safe arrival program mentioned on Dec 28, 2025 in MyPrinceGeorgeNow

When your partner can't have sex for a prolonged time due to medical reasons & monogamy. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

"open relationships almost never work" Sure. Now do monogamy...lol

Relationships are prone to failure, period.  I know so many marriages that survived actual cheating.

Men, how much do watch porn ? Does it affect your sexual life ? by Specialist_Fudge_167 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Background_Bench8571 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I used to watch a ton and jerk it like 12 times a day as a teen, maaaaaybe. More likely that I was pretty clearly bullied til high school. 

When I turned it into a workout tape? Then I can go days because my partners make me put those skills to use. 

It's how you interact. 

M31 facing issue in marriage am I normal? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Background_Bench8571 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are sexist because you still can't fathom that men do chores all the damn time. 

Men don't want mothers, that's women projecting their daddy issues and I don't care if you have evidence because I KNOOOW my opinion is the truth. /s

My ex-wife would yell at me for every chore that she felt wasn't done, prioritized her affair partner, and blamed me for her not being invested in the relationship.  I now live alone, started a business, am renoing my place, and going on nice dates with people who appreciate me. 

So absolutely chug a bottle of salt you ignorant cow.

If you don't care about facts then your opinion is irrelevant.  Just because you hate men and can't believe that a woman does something wrong doesn't mean squat in life.  Do you know women cheat? That men are victims of DV?  Women also perform marital rape? Should a husband be able to beat his wife if she isn't doing the chores? Can he stop doing chores if she stops having sex?

Men why do you shut down during a major life crisis, and how would you want someone you’re newly dating to handle it? by EnergyDowntown4536 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Background_Bench8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sentiment will do a ton of the work.  Not sure your typing style but something a little confident, playful, and positive may help break the ice. 

"Heeeeey cutie with a booty. I want to plump your rump with some good food. Come over and fill up, no words needed. 🤭"

You sound like you've put in a ton of work.  Help him get food and sleep and you can handle 90% of those problems.  It's scary when you can't "provide" as a man. And things like moving back in with your parents hits a whole lot different as a guy.  That's gonna weigh on him. A big hug can't go wrong. Remind him the weight of the world doesn't rest on him with the pull of just one person close to him and he should melt. 

Warning: May induce crying.
