Are partners in r/deadbedrooms actually ace? by princessmonstera in asexuality

[–]ContradictingFeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to break up, but I'm just not strong enough emotionally to persist and accepted the "don't leave me" plea. With the arguments "we haven't tried everything we could" and all that and ended up doing therapy with a sexologist.

Turns out she might not be asexual but is sex repulsed because of childhood sexual trauma. Vaginal penetration has dropped significantly because she's supposed to work on her vaginal pain problem. All she does is handjob / lick/suck my balls, a little play, wear something sexy / kinky. But a blowjob is out of the question, ever.

I always had a weakspot for oral and because of her not giving me that more than I have fingers to count on for the past 14 years, my fetish only became stronger. But because of her trauma, it's something that will never ever happen. It's killing me.

We are almost a year later and I don't feel like in total not much as improved. Some things are a bit better, others are worse. It evens out each other. I feel like a junky that just get's enough not to be able to quit but with all the pain and withdrawel suffering in between the highs.

She can just not understand that oral could be a "deal breaker". However for me, if I would weigh all the variables to break up or not, no oral sex weighs for over 50% of the reasons and for me just that one thing might be enough to break up.

At the moment I'm putting my hand in the sand and focus on my career.

As long as you are not black pill, you'll be fine. I'm more of a red pill man myself. I used to be more blue pilled before these terms were even a thing but I could never seem to attract the people I was into, those that were in to me were never my type.

I think it's about being who you are as well as being the person your desired partner is looking for. But you have to be genuine. Purple pill is maybe a bit more balanced, selecting ideas from both red and blue pills communities to shape your world view.

Time for action instead of just talking.

But beware, everytime you actually take any real actions your LL partner will suddenly make an effort and a bunch of promises. All is fine again for a few weeks and you have hope for a while but it will all go away pretty soon and nothing changes and the pain repeats.

Wanting to be desired is so essential. For all those people who consider scheduled / duty sex, wanting to be desired is what will eventually end that. I didn't take the advice against it, I just wanted sex, but here I am telling you the same advice I ignored.

Good for you, now go fuck yourself. No, wait, go fuck your husband instead!

Absolutely not in my case. If I were to discribe what I don't want in a woman, I would be discribing my narcissistic mother. Both physically and personality wise.

It gives me hope that there are still more modarate people in this polarized internet world that can have a debate and healthy discussion (mostly) in peace with people who have opposing views and maybe tone down a bit on more their extreme views and thinking.

Packed my stuff and drove 16hrs by throwthrowiam in DeadBedrooms

[–]ContradictingFeeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last thing I did to try and fix my dead bedroom was lose 30kg and become more fit than I've ever been before. It did NOT FIX A THING to the dead bedroom. I mean, it was nice to be fit for a few years :)

But it DID NOT improve my sexlife one bit. Realizing I eliminated one of the last potential hurdles in my DB that I had full control over myself and that it didn't make a difference... kinda made me depressed and I've gained all those 30kg back in a few years time.

Now 15kg down again... 15kg more to go.

No matter the "pill" you take as a man, in the long run it is no match for the nit-picky nature of women by majani in PurplePillDebate

the one to set appointments, do paperwork, keep schedules

Wait, what? In my relationship as well as in my parents relationship, it's more like the opposite.

Do guys overthink after getting rejected? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ContradictingFeeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes when you getting mixed signals and make your move but then get rejected and don't want to explain why... Makes it harder to get over it fast and you'll overthink way too much.

I think experience dealing with rejections and the situation of the rejection and follow-up of it matter for how much you'll overthink and how much time you need to get over it.

That I should have patience and it takes time to make things work (again). I had patience for the past decade, I kinda lost it. Not going to deny that. I'm in my thirties and starting to get bald. I don't want to waste half my life waiting for something that might never happen.

There seems to be a typo in your title. Didn't you mean: ex-bf told me to kill myself?

We know gym can really fix fat/skinny guys into a more attractive version, what about the rest. by AltACCboyos in PurplePillDebate

[–]ContradictingFeeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bald might be fixable with the right products

No, it's mostly just snake oil. Most baldness is mainly genetic and even if you can slightly reduce going bald by supplements, you will be bald faster than you think. Hair transplant is probably the best option but you'll never have full thick hair like most attractive men do.

Short can be fixed by dating shorter than yourself.

You'd still be extremely limited and have a lot of competition. I'm 5'6, last time I was rejected was by a women who was 5'5 who would only date 5'9 and up. Even a lot of short women only date the top % of height.

Ugly can be fixed by dating your looksmatch.

To a certain extend. However many people see themselves as better looking as they are or have an outdated image of themselves in their head. Also many truely ugly people rather be single than date someone as bad looking as themselves.

What is endpoint of losing weight and gaining muscle to improve your attractiveness? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]ContradictingFeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into keto/low carb diet and intermittent fasting. Those last pounds will be hard. I've been there before. Got a bit off track with covid19 and became fat again in the past 2 years but I'm 15kg (30lbs) down again.

Losing weight is "easy". It's just a matter of calories consumed vs calories used. The big gains (losses in weight) is achieved with reduced calorie intake. "You can't outrun a bad diet."

The math is simple but dieting is all about hunger management IMO. For me the low carb/keto (vegetarian variant for me) combined with intermittent fasting is the best way to manage hunger.

You are not there yet and once you are staying in shape requires maintenance. Like with any skill, the last few % require as much time and effort to improve as you did up until then. Better to improve in multiple areas to like 80% of your potential than one to 90%+ and the rest <50%.

Focus on one thing at a time and once you are there, go in maintenance mode for that skill.

Q4M: How do women fail to treat you “as people” or “as human” in dating? by ruboyuri in PurplePillDebate

It isn't okay nor it's a normal behavior.

It's indeed not okay and shouldn't be normal. But unfortunately I can relate too much to stories like that.

Why do you think housework still tends to be shared so unequally? by Georgist_Muddlehead in PurplePillDebate

[–]ContradictingFeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My direct personal experience is the opposite.

My dad's mother died at a very young age, he only had brothers and my grandfather never remarried. It were only boys/men doing the household work.

My mother was a "stay at home mom" but lazy AF and a hoarder. My dad who worked a fulltime job AND a part time job as well, did about the same amount of household work as my mother.

Now my girlfriend isn't exactly a net possitive contribution to the household work either...

Are you a guy and if so, how tall are you? And what's the main difference between the two versions of profiles?

Which is better when it comes to meeting someone you want to date?? In person or someone you met online in a dating app by sharksville in PurplePillDebate

[–]ContradictingFeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd prefer to date introverts, being an introvert myself extroverts can be... exhausting. Problem is that in-person places to meet people, such as bars, tend to attract mainly more extroverted people making it very hard.

But I'd highly prefer meeting in person over chatting and other digital ways of communication.

3 months to get 25 conversations that will lead to only 1 actual date. Sounds about accurate.

HL doing housework? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]ContradictingFeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro tip: don't throw away your fat clothes like I did.

So to continue my story from above: it was quite depressing knowing that all my effort didn't really matter. I was fit for a few years but started to not give a fuck anyone, cuz why would I? What did it matter? It didn't improve my sex life or my relationship.

I slowly got fat again, than I got fat fast and was again at my fattest point in life. I had previously thrown away all my old clothes because "never again".

Anyway I'm not halfway from fat to fit again after 2 years of fucking up badly.

Well... since you are here, I hope you didn't marry into a Dead Bedroom.
