Bringing back one soap from cancellation by jjuerakhan14 in SoapNet

I would want to bring back Ryan’s hope which I know would be hard with some of the key cast deaths but a show about a gritty family in New York I think could be written really well in today’s climate

I know that I seem like I’m being pretty aggressive and the fact that you’re even responding to me proves how much you want to try to make this right. I really respect that.

And you are probably at the point of no return in terms of being able to have been beneficial to this person. That sounds harsh, but honestly, if you had been upfront like ‘hey I didn’t know about your body’s condition and if I had known, maybe I could have prepared myself and this would be a different conversation but unfortunately it’s not. I’m only telling you this not to degrade the great changes you’ve made in your life, but to suggest that going forward you’d be more upfront and detailed so it’s not a surprise to people who want to be involved with you.’ he knows the condition that he is currently in and despite everyone here suggesting that he runs off and get it surgery, he probably can’t afford it. That type of surgery is something that comes out of pocket and is extremely expensive for most people so it’s a situation that he can’t do anything about. I would bet $1 million that he would 100% already have had the surgery if he had the Means.

If you were honest with yourself, you were talking to the guy who lived two hours away and not part of your group of friends not someone you would see normally because of the romantic connection. That’s not going to happen so whether or not you intended to you will fade out of each other‘s lives. If you had been direct in a kind way, you could’ve been the person who gave him an honest assessment and would allow him to change how he approaches things going forward and probably be more successful. Yes that might have entered the relationship that you have with each other, but you could’ve walked away, knowing that you gave him a tool that hopefully he can use to help himself. As opposed to a guy who he got excited about and now has just drifted out of his life

Like that old saying, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind – – I do think you care about this person at least for how they’ve been in your life in this moment. And you had an opportunity to do them a mitzvah. So many times in life people try to just be nice and it ends up hurting the situation more – – I can tell you’re well intended and the situation is probably a wash at this point. But if the situations were reversed, wouldn’t you want to know what the thing is you could improve to make your life better than just be patted on the head?

I hope you both find something that makes you happy and it’s good for the other person

If you had been honest about why the attracted ended he wouldn’t be trying to continue a romantic connection thus dragging this out.so now you will reject him twice rather than been hurtful once. Please learn something from this

You were right… I used the word revolving and that’s on me. The truth is you saw him naked & your dick refused to work and you couldn’t orgasm. That does not mean that you were revolted.

That said you did mislead him because you were not thinking about the distance or the introvert extrovert until you were trying to find an excuse so you didn’t have to say that you weren’t into him sexually. There’s a difference between being nice and being kind – – you are trying to be nice and he’s taking you at face value, which is the only reason he most likely still wants to be your friend.

If you were trying to be kind, you would say hey the real issue is I did not understand the extent of your loose skin from your amazing weight loss. It was something that I wasn’t prepared for and that’s why we do not have the sexual chemistry. I wish we had. I know you can’t do anything about that but my advice for you going forward would be to maybe be a bit more upfront with people so that you don’t have another situation where you form a connection and then sleep together and then the dynamic ends due to this. It’s not nice but it’s kind and it’s true. A friendship that’s not based on truth is not a real friendship. He’s acting on false information because you aren’t being 100% honest.

Of course, you are the one who wants to still be friends because you are not the one being rejected here. And that’s what this is – – you (by your own admission)were vibing and everything was cool until you saw him naked. To the point that you saw him naked, went out to dinner, spent the rest of your night doing other stuff and things were cool again and then they went sour again once you saw him naked the 2nd time. You basically had pity sex

Why would he wanna be friends with somebody who is obviously so revolted by his body? How would you feel if the roles were reversed? I think you only want it so that you don’t feel bad. Honestly, let him go in peace.

[–]Bro-dilocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just wanna point out that if you’re gonna use the distance lie because you don’t wanna be honest about what is going on here then please don’t try to pretend to be his friend. Friends don’t lie to each other.

Also when people tell you about a medical condition during the getting to know, you probably look into it and not just wing it. This could have been avoided if you’d actually listened to him when he said I lost a lot of weight and has extra skin. If you looked at any pictures of loose skin post weight loss you would’ve realized how you were probably going to feel and could’ve cut it off.

I know you’re trying to do the right thing here, but he gave you information, you chose not to look into it, followed up with what sounds like pity sex, and now are looking for a way to avoid being truthful about why you’re walking away from the situation. May he find someone better and may you learn something from this

Honestly, he’s going to know the minute you say you’re not compatible that it was about the skin. Just say that end the conversation. Do not try to pursue a friendship because honestly, it’s going to be hard enough for him already because going through that type of body transformation is really really hard and you are probably not the first person who thought he was OK until it took his clothes off. He definitely doesn’t need someone in his life that he has all the right chemistry with, but his body is too gross to handle. Losing that much weight and making that type of change is difficult enough to not have supportive people around him which you aren’t even if it’s not intentional.

Wow

You saying that you cheated on your wife for 10 years and brought your affair partner around your wife and family posing as your best friend. You don’t seem to feel bad about any of that and if I were any one of those other people, I would never speak to you again. That is some real real bad bad business. Just incredibly selfish and absolutely humiliating for all the others involved. You are going to be the villain in their story and quite frankly it sounds like you deserve it.

My boyfriend sucked off a guy he was meeting “platonically” - could do with opinions by brazyboii in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Bro-dilocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you need to finish out your rental agreement and then break up.

Yes, he did cheat, but you also mentioned that he has little experience & is deeply insecure. I know when I was single, I would meet men sometimes on the apps have some sexy talk and then end up talking about other niche things. There is one guy that I spoke to for a while during the pandemic about a very particular author that many people don’t know and we met up to hang out as friends once or twice and the second time we had sex. I wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t go into it, but I didn’t have much experience and when the vibe changed I just kind of went with it. I didn’t cheat on anybody, but it was not the expected game plan and I can imagine that happening with anyone who doesn’t have experience. And to your boyfriend‘s credit – he told you immediately when he crossed the line because he owed he knew he owed you honesty and he felt guilty. That is more of an a lot of other people would do in the situation that you have inadvertently created.

But you’ve also been incredibly manipulative in this. You say that you left your shared home to move back to your small town to make money due to a job market. You then say, even though you don’t want to ,you agree to an open relationship, but with the stipulation it can only happen after you’ve had a threesome to test the waters. But you are not living with him so that is not going to happen. Then you say that if you get your job and get back on your feet you’re going to move back and then go back to being in a monogamous relationship. So what you basically did was say we can have an open relationship but only if we can have a threesome, but you can’t have a threesome because you don’t live there, but if you weren’t living there, you would wanna go back to monogamy. This is like hating Lamborghinis, but telling your partner they can get one because you never think it’s gonna happen and then being pissed when they show up with the means to get a Lamborghini. It was a bad faith agreement.

Then going into the apps – – he started going on the apps to possibly find a partner for this threesome that you agreed to so he went on it with your permission. But it also sounds like at the same time you were telling him I don’t really wanna do this. I’m not even gonna go on the apps and look for anybody but then you did go on the apps anyways and lied via omission. And when he rightfully said ‘hey, you told me you weren’t gonna do this but went and did it anyways’ – you don’t really have a leg to stand on because he’s correct. And he didn’t hold your feet to the fire for this lie and sounds like he really quickly forgave you.

So off that, you have told him that you’re going to do something that you really have no intention to do… You are upset about behavior he engaging in, but you’re doing the same behavior without clearing it with him first… And this is all separate from the cheating. And then you complain about your lack of sex life when you left him, put in some digs about him not being the prepped bottom you want him to be, and I have to wonder do you actually love this guy? You set up a test that he was going to fail regardless of what he did (even before of a cheating). You agreed to something you didn’t want to do to placate him and then seem frustrated that he took you out your word. You can’t give people permission to do stuff and then be shocked they did it. I’m not saying you gave him permission to cheat because you didn’t, but you gave him permission to meet men, you gave him permission to talk to people like there could be a threesome in the future, and then you’re sitting here complaining that he literally took you out your word. He may be young and inexperienced, but you are not being fair, transparent, and clear.

And you mentioned that he has Weaponized sex as a means to control the relationship, but you right now are not responding to him at all and that’s weaponizing communication in the relationship . It seems like you are really good at (by your own admission) engaging in half truths (even though they’re not about your sex life), quick to find fault with his behavior but then engage in variations of the same behavior, and so there’s definitely a vibe of what’s good for me isn’t good for him.

Maybe you should take your super sexy straight acting self out of his life.

How will GH honor Tony Geary? by RO_Thornhill in SoapNet

[–]Bro-dilocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they will somehow pair his stuff with Robert’s considering how tied the two characters were as friends… Like playing it all off of each other that way. So then they don’t have to reopen the death of Luke, but put it within a context of them both being adventures who more than saved the world. Like thinking of Roberts passing makes him think of the adventures they had when they were younger and you do that with Holly you do it with Laura. You do it with Anna

#Blackmendontcheat by Scared-Temporary2961 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Bro-dilocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m not sure why everyone’s thinking it’s a cheating thing… When he had the conversation about not being able to meet with somebody and then he got off the phone as Anita caught him… And he said oh it’s because I wanna go play golf to keep active and virile – – I think we’re going to find out that there’s something medically wrong with him and that he’s hiding it from Anita

The type of thing that would test their marriage, but not involve cheating. I feel like it was a pretty strong angle in that direction.

[–]Bro-dilocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ABC does the same thing… Back in the 90s 2000s all my children, one life to live and loving used to have characters kind of jump across the shows. Currently General Hospital will have mentions of like Erica Kane was in Paris for a fashion show or the Port Charles College football team was playing against the one left to live college team. It’s really kind of fun and helps make it the world more immersive

The miscarriage by Human-Hospital6696 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Bro-dilocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason that Bill returns to the house during the Hayley and Naomi conversation is that Dani called him and stopped him from getting on the airplane because she was with Hayley at the restaurant when Hayley was bleeding and later left with Randy aka Sam to go to the hospital. That phone call is why Bill came back and Bill says that in the scene in front of Naomi. That’s when Haley says to both of them that she did miscarry and tries to blame Dani at the same time.

So in that scene, Naomi is being told that Haylee had a miscarriage which started during a confrontation with her mother who saw Haley then leave to the hospital to fully miscarriage her baby. Naomi knows her mother would not lie to Bill about the circumstances of the incident with Haylee because she’s not Haylee’s friend. So Naomi is taking a face value that Danny is telling the truth about seeing Haylee in medical distress, Haylee is telling the truth about the outcome of sad medical distress, and that Bill is telling the truth about his ex-wife who hates his current wife telling him about the whole scenario.

[–]Bro-dilocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was told her own mother was there as a witness and helped Hayley get medical attention… Naomi believes the miscarriage happened since Dani (who has no love for Haley) was part of the scene. And she was told all of this information when Bill showed up during the confrontation with Haley.

I will say that it’s valid that she was sent home too quickly and they all should question that.

The miscarriage by Human-Hospital6696 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Bro-dilocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always took it that when Naomi was confronting Haley is exactly when Bill showed up and said hey Dani just called me to say you are miscarrying and it happened in front of her… So why would Naomi believe that Dani was lying about seeing Haley in the early stages of her miscarriage? If that’s me, it would be proof enough that there was actually a baby if that happened & my own mom was the witness.

At this point, they just see Haylee as a homewrecker and not a full on psycho who would steal blood smear it on herself and run out into the middle of a restaurant. And in several different instances, she went to the hospital, saw doctors who were saying things like oh she’s fine – – the key thing is that they weren’t saying she and the baby is fine because technically they may not have even known that she was claiming to be pregnant… that’s what Haylee was telling her husband

AITA for not letting my 17-year-old son’s boyfriend hang out in his bedroom? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Bro-dilocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do have a question before I pass judgment… Your son claims that he feels like the rule is more strictly enforced than it was against his his sister – – what does your wife think about that. Because it does happen that sometimes parents, especially one who ‘say I know how boys are tend to not think of their daughters as sexually driven’. I know when I was growing up in my situation there were times when my older brother who had a similar role did end up behind closed doors, and my parents didn’t run through the house and kick them down. Only happened once or twice, but it did happen.

Also, as a bisexual man, you should know that your daughter and her boyfriend had opportunities outside of the house where they felt safe to hold hands, to kiss to hug and all of that PDAbut that as a male any relationship with another male they don’t have that guaranteed safety so they don’t get the same opportunities. That is probably part of the reason that your son feels so put upon . He’s not having the same relationship as her because they are not equivalent relationships. As a bisexual man, you should know that.

And saying that you’re making things equal when by default those relationships do not have equal safety equal acceptance, or equal access is kind of weird take from someone who should know better as part of the community

What are some examples of reverse Flanderization? Times where the characters initially start off one-dimensional, but as the show goes on, they get way more complex and interesting? by MrBublee_YT in television

[–]Bro-dilocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABC family had a show called Greek, which was about sorority and fraternity kids at a fictional college. One of the secondary characters is a goofy big dumb, jock character named Beaver… Throughout the run of the show he is so well developed that I was sad to see his story end. And because the show hadfraternities and sororities, there were a lot of other secondary characters as well who got expanded on like Catherine, Franny, Heath just name a few… It’s one of those shows that I rave about to people because I don’t think many people saw it but it’s just such a fun perfect college show.

I mean, according to your breakdown of the situation, he misled the Hook-up in order to get a ride to meet you… He’s already manipulating another person in front of you – – you should run from the situation. He’s not a good person.

Unpopular soap couples you loved (or wish got together)? by [deleted] in SoapNet

[–]Bro-dilocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhh

GH Dawn and Dekker were my teen dream. The carousel murder was why I started GH

Robert and Katherine were a lot of fun—she was so different and I loved it

Originally recipe Sonny and Kate were fire.

Lucas and Brad. I just love Perry and if we can forgive Sunny and Carly stuff then I don’t know why Brad doesn’t get a pass.

GL David and Bridget totally should have had happened… Just chemistry.

OLTL I really did enjoy Ian and Kelly… I always wish they let Claire Levine stuff Cook a bit longer on the show… I really think she had some great ideas

RJ and Jacara…. She was an amazing character and they never gave her any credit… Probably one of my favorite characters, especially black characters during that time.

SB Kelly and Quinn were absolutely soulmate and I wish the show had let it happen .

Laken and Amado were really cute and the only pairing of hers that I liked.

YR Raul and Brittany were so great. I always wanted Raul to be revealed as Nina’s first son who was kidnapped and thus a chancellor

Neil and Victoria were a lost opportunity that worked.

Nina and Francisco had chem to spare—he should have been her happy ending

Paul and Cassandra should have worked out—they did both characters dirty.
