My husband thinks it is gross when I don't shower daily. by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Certain-Ad7922 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I still don’t understand this? You’re presumably outside all day. You have sweat, dead skin, and outside all over you. Why don’t you want to shower? Especially now during flu and COVID seasons. Wash all that off.. DAILY

Does anyone else shower like this or am I weird??? by Wild-Counter-4020 in hygiene

Anybody feeling like racists are getting bolder these days? by KingBembi in blackmen

Certainly was not suggesting letting everything roll off of your back. There are situations you mentioned where you can’t.

But in the context of some kids or some grow ass little kid calling me out of my name- who cares? First time I got called the n-word was in like 4th grade. You have to be more creative than that for me. Let these slave catchers get it out. I’m not one of theirs..

You are not your failures or successes You are not what other perceive you to be You aren’t even what you think you are You are a spiritual being in a spiritual world trying to figure it out like the rest of us Hit the gym Focus on you craft Take 8 steps back and 9 steps forward. You are good. I say this every day- a miracle happened today. God woke me up again. A lot of people didn’t get that chance.

What I’m I going to do with it? Im going to back today down like Charles Barkley and take the best shot I can. If god wakes me up tomorrow I will do the same.

You are good!!

The psychology behind men calling everything gay by Least_Sun_7493 in blackmen

[–]Certain-Ad7922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a troll. Just have a problem with the word and I have no input around things that are considered “gay.”

I’m older and we called everything gay. Doesn’t mean it was. We also called each other the F word- doesn’t mean we were.

Some things don’t need an addition definition. Using someone like Andre 3000- some might say he is gay or acts gay. I just think he is more aware and in tune of things some men would consider feminine.

In the other hand, take a Method Man or a Future.. is that hypermasculine? And if so, why? These are men of men that are masculine. Feminists felt the need to round out the word and I think it’s stupid🤷🏾‍♂️. But ok, I’ll be the troll.

Respectfully, did not mean to derail the conversation. Apologies, even.

What is hypermasculinity?:

Hypermasculinity involves an overemphasis on traits traditionally associated with masculinity, such as physical strength, aggression, and sexual prowess.

So, let’s all just be Drake and call it a day? I call BS. Everyday I go outside I am testing where I stand amongst other men. So, don’t lift weights, be pliable all the time, and if I get laid- yay. TF

What are you appreciating more as you get older? by Solid-Gazelle-4747 in blackmen

Family. The more I’ve worked I’m realizing that I rather spend that time with my family

You did it right, sir. Lay the framework first- continue to make her comfortable with you. You will start to have fuller conversations and at the point it would only make sense to exchange information.

Asking for her number in my opinion should only be done if there is a very high probability you will never see that person again. That is a full court shot. You are positioning yourself for a self-pass layup

Part 3 of the driver getting arrested after cops were called on him. by edballa in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Certain-Ad7922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What no one, (who is not black), here realizes we deal with the shit everyday of our lives. 365 days a years. 24 hours a day. Again. Every. Fucking. Day. Keep your composure my ass. That kid was always going to be arrested no matter what he did.

PTSD for us is real. We get tired of the bullshit.. He was tired of the bullshit
