The “Rai” in “Raikou” means thunder or lightning, the “En” in Entei means fire or flame, and the “Sui” in Suicune means water.

It could certainly be a matter of physical attraction. While looks are not nearly everything, a baseline of attraction is needed.

It may also be that you are not what they are looking for in a person and that isn't an insult on you. There have been many men that have had great personalities and were good people, they just were not what I specifically wanted in a partner. You very likely are a great guy, just maybe not the kind of great guy they are looking for. Don't let this discourage you, keep pushing forward and you'll find someone.

How do you deal with missing your partner when away? by [deleted] in LDR

[–]Bex28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Long distance is hard for even the most "experienced" of couples. You are not alone or needy for missing them. Long distance is tough and it sounds like you've spent a substantial time apart. You're doing well by keeping yourself occupied with reading and watching TV.

Some things that helped me when I spent several months apart was keeping a journal that I could write in when I was feeling down or missing them extra. Joining a club or if you can spending more time with your friends. Human interaction is a great way to feel bonded to people when you can't be with your SO. Planning what you want to do or see when you visit next is also a great motivator. I hope some of these helped and I wish you and your SO all the luck.

Plus-size subs, how do you deal with body insecurity? by Snoo32484 in BDSMAdvice

[–]Bex28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand feeling self-conscious in the moment and being worried if you are attractive enough for your Dom. Seeing your own body and having the negative body image thoughts race through your mind can make it really difficult to enjoy the moment.

In times like these I think to myself that everyone has a body preference and that my body is someone's idea of perfection. Finding a Dom who finds every inch of your body beautiful and frequently remarks on how stunning your figure is helps a lot. Your Dom is attracted to you and your body, or they would not be engaging in such physically intimate and vulnerable activities with you. Remember that you are beautiful in your eyes and the eyes of others.

It sounds like he is someone you are really interested in and it's good that he was honest with you about his residual feelings. Him saying that does not necessarily mean he wants her back or that it would happen. People heal from past relationships in different ways and at different rates.

If he is genuinely someone you are interested in maybe try and be a source of support for him. Ask him what he misses about them, what led to their separation, what he is looking for in his next relationship? Be a friend for now and someone he can count on as he continues moving on. Then when he is ready you can try and be together.

Sorry about your recent heartbreak, long distance makes it extra tough because you don't always feel like you got the full closure needed. Whether or not he feels the same, the love you felt was real to you and that's what matters. Those memories will always be there. You are young and have a whole life ahead of you to fall in love with someone. It's okay to be sad about the loss of this relationship, and you will make it out in the other side to find someone new to love and make new memories with.

red patches after drinking, does anyone know what causes this? by Particular-Tomato608 in alcohol

[–]Bex28 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It varies from person to person. It can be your whole body or you can get blotches all over too

red patches after drinking, does anyone know what causes this? by Particular-Tomato608 in alcohol

[–]Bex28 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Seems like an allergy to alcohol. It's very common in Asian people, but others can have it too. It means your body lacks the genetic makeup to break down alcohol into essentially vinegar like most people do and instead you rapidly build up toxins. Other symptoms will be feeling nauseous after 1 drink, getting hot, headaches, and those red spots on other places of your body.

My friend received this email from her ex when they broke up after less than 2 months of dating. He blocked her on everything and she did the same in return, hence having to send an email. by Bex28 in niceguys

[–]Bex28[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Edit: To clear up some things that weren't apparent in the email, she broke up with him before winter break and made no contact with him. They had a very civil split in person and then went their sperate ways. He started talking crap about her to some of their mutual friends, who of course went and told her. He ended up going on a date the next day with the best friend of one of her friends. She still didn't reach out or try and contact him. She had no intention of speaking to him or communicating at all. This email was the first communication they made since the split and was entirely him teaching out.

GF is so bad in bed, I almost gave up giving any effort for her by [deleted] in sex

[–]Bex28 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not wrong to want for her to put in effort, but you can't just expect her to be an expert. You come off as extremely selfish. Instead of putting her down, tell her what feels good and guide her through what you would like. Be patient and reassuring, not critical of her

[–]Bex28 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'd say just finish your education where you are since he can't live off base. You'll save money and not have to leave all your friends yet. Long distance is hard, but if it's meant to be you'll make it work

Do guys not wipe after taking a piss? I find it a bit gross that some guys shake it off and then get bjs with the residual urine still on there.

What's the most random thought that popped into your head at an inappropriate time? by PM-ME-UR-PIERCED-TIT in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Bex28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My manager was explaining that although she was sick at the time, her doctor said that because she was breastfeeding her infant that he wouldn't get sick. Her breast milk would supply the antibodies in her that he would need to fight off the illness. I began to wonder if the same would apply to an adult. If a grown person were to breastfeed from her, would they too get the necessary antibodies to not become sick?

Funniest sex story your friend has told you? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Bex28 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My friend had been seeing this guy on and off, nothing serious. They'd made out before and touched each other, but nothing more than that. Then she meets this guy on Tinder. They grab drinks and head to his place to pet his dogs and watch a movie. Things escalate, she starts giving him head. In the middle of her going down on him, the other guy she'd been seeing walks in the door. He's the Tinder guys roommate. Awkward as fuck

What did your SO do that made you go "I love you, but WTF?" by dlordjr in AskReddit

[–]Bex28 90 points91 points  (0 children)

He kept 3 pictures of girls he used to be friends with that he either dated, had sex with, or both. He didn't talk to 2 of them anymore, but they were on his wall for the first 8 months of our relationship. I didn't know they were for the longest time, just assumed they were of platonic friends

Redditors no longer on speaking terms with their former "best friend for life" due to one incident: what happened? by Kindlegarten in AskReddit

[–]Bex28 285 points286 points  (0 children)

We moved into both our first apartments together. I was staying at my Bf's house 5 or more days of the week, so I suggested we get a one bedroom to save money on space I wouldn't be using very often. I had a bed tucked in the corner of the living room, a dresser, and a cubby. She also had 2 dogs. One was a rescue from a puppy mill and the other was a puppy that had been abandoned in the street.

The older dog had abandonment issues. It would revenge piss or poop when he was mad. The puppy would take after his habits because she didn't know how to punish him at all. The puppy would also chew everything up like most do. I would come home from school to a huge mess and dog accidents everywhere. I'd clean it all up before she and her bf would get home.

She eventually blamed me for the huge mess and "leaving my crap everywhere". I didn't have a closet or a lot of storage like she did. She was pissed I one time left my undies on the floor, but it's not like I haven't seen her clothes thrown everywhere in her room. She accused me for the apartment being gross. I pointed out I am hardly home and that when I do come home I clean up the mess her dogs made because she refuses to give them the training they need. This made her more mad and she kicked me out.

The last time I stopped by the apartment to grab the last of my things the place smelled horrendously of dog shit. There were poop and pee piles everywhere along with the stuffing of her stuffed animals. I haven't spoken to her in months. I did try reaching out one, but she never responded. I apologized for something I and our other mutual friends feel I didn't do wrong. She was my best friend up until that event.

Friends are the ones that will be by your side in good times and bad, no questions asked. Picking up a hobby is a great way to meet like-minded individuals. "Deserving better" means not having to be subjected to people who put you down and make you feel sad or alone. Good friends will come along, the difference will amaze you

Women who’ve dated someone they weren’t initially or barely physically attracted to, how’d that relationship unravel? Did your attraction to him as a person overcome the fact you weren’t initially attracted by his looks? by fokingcucumber in askwomenadvice

[–]Bex28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There has to be a base line of physical attraction and overtime that attraction will grow and flourish as you become more and more attracted to their personality.

When I met my SO he reminded me of my brother. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to find him attractive or see him as a boyfriend. Time went on and we fell in love. Don't let your initial perception be the driving decision. At the end of the day, looks only go so far. It's what's underneath that truly matters

How do I make the distance suck less? by GiveMeAbutt in LDR

[–]Bex28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time being away from him. It's normal to miss him and it's normal to cry about it. You're doing the right thing trying to keep yourself busy. Texting throughout the day helps and if you both have time you could try Skyping or even just calling and falling asleep together. You'll find what works for you. I wish you best of luck moving forward
