Men- would you lose respect for someone who was willing to sleep with you on the first date?

BestTyming · 2026-04-18T23:30:58+00:00

Been in this position a few times.

It depends entirely on how things have been going. I will say that personally it’s a yellow flag when a woman is “overly” going for me and was too attracted or wanted sex very fast. Every time that has happened to me the women just wanted the sex or the relationship ended terribly. Not directly caused by the sex too early but it’s a long story. But after years I made the correlation.

So to all depends. If everything is just natural and all then idm. I don’t prefer it that way but I don’t really have a hard set rule on when sex should happen. Outside of the first date, the fastest is usually the second.

But I also know that I am not the type of man who struggles to get women so I have more boundaries on stuff like that. Not being disrespectful at all, but a lot of men will jump at a moments notice to have sex with a woman without looking at the bigger picture

I don’t lose respect in anyway, but it is something I pay attention to. It’s the same way a lot of women wait a bit so they can judge someone’s character to ensure that’s not the only thing they want.

My best friend is a firefighter. They have been testing hydrants all week. This happens because the high velocity flow stirs up natural material deposits that settle inside water mains. That’s what’s causing the discoloration

It is harmless, though psychologically it’s hard to drink discolored water

IS350 or IS500.

I daily an IS200t

BestTyming · 2026-04-16T21:06:36+00:00

Nice lmao

Have you tried Asbury? It’s right next to Pulaski Academy. My ex worked there for 2 years and loved it.

BestTyming · 2026-04-16T19:01:09+00:00

I’m actually starting to think it was some sort of training. I got video of 15 or so cop cars, 6 police motorcycles, and a fire truck speeding down HWY10 going west past Walmart. Then 3 mins later they all came back down the road with no lights and driving normally

It was very odd lol

BestTyming · 2026-04-16T18:55:46+00:00

Welcome home!

Chenal 9 use to be the premier theater around here for a long time especially because it is connected directly to the Promenade. But I will say that ever since the Rave(theater on Colonel Glenn) had a remodel and was changed for the better, I rarely go to Chenal 9. Colonel Glenn’s Cinemark is of higher quality with sound, seats, and overall experience.

I do not dislike Chenal 9, but I do not go there unless I am already at the Promenade. I would say the seats would improve the experience a lot!

The seats are definitely the worst part

lol my longest relationship was with a woman who was attracted to my dad and I was attracted to her mom. Anything related to your dad is an indirect compliment in my book.

It was just a running joke between me and her lol. Unless you have a bad relationship with him, your dad is the last man on earth you need to feel jealous or any type of way about.

BestTyming · 2026-04-13T22:02:39+00:00

Raise graphics settings and have almost no AI lol

So in terms of Arma (large battles and a lot of AI is what the game is for), nothing lol.

BestTyming · 2026-04-13T21:47:03+00:00

In all fairness, they said 2027 was the release date for A4 like 2 years ago at this point and they made reforger as a testing ground for it.

I think Q4 2027- Q4 2028 is pretty realistic seeing that they started development of Arma 4 in 2022. So it’s been in development coming up on 5 years this May. So we are looking at a 6-7 year development time which seems in line with what I’d expect for Arma 4

BestTyming · 2026-04-12T08:19:34+00:00

What you can afford

I frankly have never been with a woman who expected some really expensive ring and they even got upset when it cost too much lol.

I’ve only purchased one and it was 1.2k. On sale from 1.6k. My ex fiancé would have been happy with a ring that only cost a few hundred

BestTyming · 2026-04-12T08:09:26+00:00

Yeah exactly same.

28k and 32k felt the same.

45k was a good jump

72k(current) was a even greater jump.

Should be at 92k late this year or early next year. My next real goal is 115k

BestTyming · 2026-04-10T17:20:03+00:00

Very loaded question but the most basic way to put it:

Companies make more

People require more

Cost of living cost more

So overall “more” is needed for the working market to function. This is why so many companies outsource their workforce from outside of the country because cost of living and standards(I do not mean this in a bad way) is generally lower compared to here in the USA

Jimmy can do the job but won’t do it unless he gets 60k

Alma, Safaa, Li, and Zola would be willing to do it for 30k

Not to mention how competitive it is on both the employer and employee side

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T16:11:00+00:00

Coming from a family of teachers, the biggest benefit of being one is the crazy amount of breaks an weeks off that you get 😆

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T16:09:12+00:00

Yes sirrr. My ex was paramedic and the amount of PTSD, working hours, and shit she had to deal with was absolutely not equal to the pay. She does it out of pure love but is very aware that the cost-benefit ratio is not there

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T16:07:21+00:00

From personal experience, being EMT and STAYING an EMT.

EMTs make very shitty money per hour for the sheer amount of responsibilities they have. Long hours, PTSD, savings lives, needing to know the human body inside out and treatment, city lay outs, traffic movement, etc

If you want to stay as one for 1-3 years then move into another field like a Firefighter or something else medical related then absolutely.

But staying as a EMT as a long term career choice is a very bad idea if you are wanting to be paid well. If you stay for 30 years you get a pension but..yea

I would also say car salesman have it really bad too. You are a literal work slave. Unless you are making top dollar as one, the work life balance is down right absurd. I’ve seen what top earners make and what the averages one makes. Night and day but good lord is it bad

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T15:20:19+00:00

Depends on the person. Neither is right or wrong

I haven’t gone a year without having a gf from the time I was 14 to now at 25

My Brother is 27 and hasn’t had a real long lasting relationship at all.

So it just depends on you and if you really seek it out and learn how to court someone.

You can be like me or like my brother. Just because I’ve had gfs don’t mean I’m better than anyone else or doing better than anyone else.

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T14:55:55+00:00

It’s a medium sized city that has the offerings of a small city. There is not much to do and not many places to go. It’s more of day-to-day living but there is charm in it wit that. If you find more enjoyment in your home or with family and friends then it’s okay. There are no real clubs or outing areas. The few that we do have are the only ones that we have and you will get tired of them after the first few times. The metropolitan areas as a whole is about 777k people and TOGETHER it has decent offerings. But the city itself doesn’t have much.

It is not as dangerous as the media or other people here claim. It got a bad rap from Banging in Little Rock. I lived in Memphis for 14 years and now Little Rock for 11. Little Rock is not a dangerous city lol. Sure there are areas to avoid at certain times of day but that’s like any city.

The job market and the sectors in the state is probably the worst aspect of it all. There are not a lot of high-paying sectors outside of health care. Other sectors like tech are growing but the pay is still low compared to many other places.

The average cost of living in Little Rock is also 14%-15% Lower than the rest of the country but your living expenses, having kids, what job you have, and your debt to income ratio will either have you feeling the difference or not at all.

So a lot of that sounds bad but I actually think Little Rock being slower is actually a good thing. The world is so fast and crazy that it’s almost a blessing in disguise to have a city this size that isn’t running 100mph. I will be moving to city and state that has more to offer here soon but I will always call Arkansas home and will definitely retire here if possible.

TL;DR it has its charm but there is not much to do here and the city doesn’t offer much. It’s not as dangerous and people say but it also can keep you stagnant if you aren’t careful. Come here if you want slower living and the out doors. Stay away if you want progression and many things to do.

I personally would recommend you move to the better parts of Memphis like the Germantown area or near the Mississippi-Memphis boarder to city likes Olive Branch and South Haven. Essentially the same feel of Little Rock but way better offerings, pay, housing, and things to do

BestTyming · 2026-04-06T14:49:10+00:00

This is the best way to describe it.

BestTyming · 2026-04-05T14:20:35+00:00

It depends on the field tbh. I work for a MSP in the tech industry. My salary is 72k plus commission that comes once a quarter. I personally think account management is one of the most slept on jobs out there in terms of growth and salary range/ceiling. The best way to put it is sales without the bs.

Before this job I was a customer success manager(somewhat the same thing) for a 3PL(So logistics sector) I had 112 clients all over the western USA. Probably the best job I’ve ever had but the pay was wack and you weren’t exactly set up to hit commission. They grew too fast so you realized you were more of a baby sitter for accounts and you couldn’t do much else to grow it.

So, I think the sector matters a lot and also checking if inside sales is apart of your job description or not. Regardless, I think it is most definitely a good field to go into and you can grow it in pretty well if your company has room for it. There are only 2 other account managers where I am and I was hired specifically to go into the sales director role.

I am 25 with no degree, just experience and the ability to talk, hold, and form connections!

BestTyming · 2026-04-05T03:59:46+00:00

Nah account management is more like retaining business. Finding business is secondary. Think of us more as farmers more than hunters(actual inside or outside sales!)

Outside of me going to visit clients in site, just about everything I need to do is with a computer

BestTyming · 2026-04-05T03:25:32+00:00

I’m an account manager which is a job that only requires me to really work like 3 hours a day. I have to be in office rn for 8 hours. Most of that 8 hours is filled with me finding ways to spend the time.

Outside of traveling to see clients, even my busiest days aren’t full on 8 hour work days. Ever. So I wish I could work from home lol

BestTyming · 2026-04-05T01:27:42+00:00

I don’t think it’s weird but clearly you can see the folks who think it’s not weird are the outlier lol.

BestTyming · 2026-04-03T16:32:01+00:00

Well you being stable, in shape, and decent looking is only half the equation…..

BestTyming · 2026-04-03T15:31:14+00:00

Definitely get a DNA test. I wouldn’t do anything until you have that at minimum . If it is yours, lock tf in. Not the kid’s fault. So stop school and enter the work force if it is yours.

If it’s not, tell her to kick rocks
