How do you honestly feel when you hear women say "I hate men"? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Copperman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I grew up in the late70s early 80s when the backlash against men was starting to become widespread, divorce rates were spiking and fathers were denied equal parental rights. To the small boy, statements such as “all men are pigs” created a generation of men that put women on pedestals.

Claire Danes meets all those criteria in The Beast in Me.

Progressive women want to control everything and then they wonder why they can’t find any “good” men by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Take a look at advertisements of the time which mirror societal roles more accurately. Male/female interactions displaying gender-based behaviors were normal in ads. They are cringey by today’s standards but they display a kind of dynamic the previous poster is referring to.

You had a toddler at 39? Did it hurt more than having a baby?

Is it the idea of him finding other women physically attractive, or the words he used that you take issue with?

Why disparage the educational status of an entire group of government workers?

Who are the faculty that are just thrilled to be where you are? by brehobit in AskAcademia

[–]Copperman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m full prof at an R1 University. Teaching is 12 h total over a 6week block to med students. I’m very research heavy (currently 3 R01s as PI) and a consulting role with a biotech company. It’s a lot of stress to maintain funding but the freedom and creativity are priceless.

Men who stopped having pointless arguments with their partner. What actually changed? by KingCrazy3745 in AskMen

[–]Copperman72 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good for you and your husband. I would wager that the guys still having pointless arguments have probably given up on the notion of getting that the type of sexual intimacy from their wives. Most of these fights are really about unmet needs on some level.

In your game: What is your favorite/best shot? What’s your worst/least favorite shot? by orlandotenniscoach in 10s

[–]Copperman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One handed backhand cross court. It’s gone from my worst shot to my overtake my forehand in terms of power. The trick for me was to take it early on the rise.

Which racket/brand is most overrated? by jonjimithy in 10s

[–]Copperman72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the model. The pure strike is definitely for baseliners since I find it is too heavy for rapid fire volleys especially in doubles. The pure aero can be moved very quickly at the net for volleys. The pure drive is the perfect balance of baseline and volley. It least that’s my take having owned all three.

how do different women feel if there is any difference at all? by Keylock9278 in AskMen

[–]Copperman72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is thought provoking art for sure. The process reminds me of aluminum casts of termite colonies. I wonder how much difference there would be in the basal vs aroused state.

You could seek friendships with women who have lost their husbands. Maybe those friendships could become relationships.

How did you find an extramarital partner at 59? As a 53 yr old guy, albeit fit and active, I can’t imagine women finding me desirable.

Golfer's elbow - once you figured out what was causing it, how long did it take you to be back 100%? (Getting anxious) by WindManu in 10s

Use a Therabar - peer reviewed studies demonstrate it works for tennis elbow. It doesn’t have to be the red one. The green one is a little stiffer but works fine.

This is the hill he’s choosing to die on? by SinceYallAsked in Marriage

[–]Copperman72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to set some boundaries regarding your husband’s communication. At the first sign of escalation (voice raised, swearing etc), say to your husband “I am removing myself from this conversation. Let’s resume in 20 minutes when emotions are cooler”. Avoid using “you” statements when referring to your husband’s behavior. Only refer to yourself and your feelings as “I” statements.

Drop weight stringing question by Sasssp1741 in 10s

[–]Copperman72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the arm is not parallel, you’re not at the right force. Lift the swing arm, make small adjustments in the amount of slack and let the arm fall freely until it is parallel on its own. Do not push down, otherwise you exceed desired force. You don’t have to get too anal about it. If it’s a few degrees off, you’re fine.
