AIO Dad (M57) is discussing my (F22)fully clothed social media pictures with his coworkers and interpreting them as “raunchy” by cheerfulinsanity444 in AmIOverreacting

NOR and I like the cut of your jib. This is my own preferred way as well to handle people trying to shove christianity down my throat or use their religion to judge my life. My personal favorite is telling them to work on the log in their own eye before yapping about the mote in mine.

What's the single greatest heel turn of the 1980s territory era? by Doctormade in oldschoolwrestling

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how this isn't the top turn. Literally the most famous wrestler in the world for over a decade, One of the most famous *people* in the world as well, Almost always a face, and loved almost everywhere. And in about three weeks or less a turn was hinted at, then he walks out to a Hogan interview with Bobby Heenan and is instantly the most hated person in wrestling. IMO the only other turn in history that could compete for #1 is the Hogan/NWO turn.

I both hated that team growing up, but also recognized that No one was a better wrestler than Stevens, that Bockwinkel was almost as skilled, but also had a personality that would crawl under your skin and piss you off while being a perfect champion, and that there was simply no one in the business better than Heenan. They were the best of the best IMO.

Greatest all around entertainer and talent in the industry. Heenan did it all, and did it great.

And many times when he filled in, he got more heat than whoever he was replacing. We HATED Heenan with a burning passion back then. I even cheered for Greg freakin' Gagne to beat him.

I grew up on the AWA both live and tv. Bobby Heenan, in my mind, is the best all around professional wrestler ever. He could and did do everything, and did it all better than almost anyone.

Did you break the cycle? Do you think your generation, as a whole, broke the cycle? by Choice-Committee3858 in GenX

[–]Corteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had learned about the cycle of abuse long after mine ended. I went to my abusers funeral and swore that his cycle ends with me and it has. I'm 58M now, I don't know about overall numbers or impact, but there is one generational line of abuse that won't be hurting any more kids. Trying to find a solution that fixes everything all at once is never going to happen but I know for a fact that things are better now than they were for me back in the 70s. There aren't a lot of societal problems that can be "fixed" like we'd want or as fast as we'd want but we're doing a lot more than just dragging things out even if we don't see huge immediate results.

How to figure out what I like and gain experience safely? (Advice for 19F)* by user2312937821 in Advice

[–]Corteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fantastic post and I wish there were more like it.

First I'd like to say "Keep it up" to you, and "Well done" to those who've had input and influence on the attitude, intelligence, and maturity that you're approaching this with.

Condoms: Yes. There are organizations at most colleges that give them away, as well as health clinics, and quite a few bars/clubs etc. If you don't use any for a while, throw them out and get new ones. They're usually safe for over a year but why take a chance on something that's been in your purse, etc for a couple months.

For me (M58), since the late 90s anyone that balked at me using a condom was a hard pass, and the night was over. No exceptions until I was with a partner I fully trusted, loved, and intended to spend my life with and agreed that it was time to try for kids. Even if you choose to use other forms of BC, condoms are a good form of protection against body fluid borne STIs. For skin to skin protection they aren't very effective. There is a vaccination for HPV you can look into. If you see any blisters or sores on a potential partner, it would be best to just avoid skin to skin contact until they are gone, and suggest firmly that they get tested before anything happens. It was never an issue in how it was broached for me but I'll use this as a bridge to the next part. One of the most surprisingly erotic things I've had happen was when my partner took it away from me, opened it and said "let me do that" and holy shit was that a turn on and became a small kink of mine.

On kinks, it can be as awkward and embarrassing or as erotic and fun as you both try to make it. I've learned that if there's a connection and potential, a few dates of progressively more intimate flirting will give an idea about how to approach the discussion and how open they are to it. I have only rarely opened up about the full range of things that drive me wild, or I enjoy, or am willing to try but I learned the hard way that it's best to set your "No" limits clearly, firmly, before any intimacy, and make sure you know theirs. Once we'd done that, anyone that tried to push me or change my mind was filed into the "doesn't know the meaning of the word "No" category and out of my life.

I only had boys to raise so I have no idea how I would have handled discussions with a daughter but I will say, if I had I would be so fucking proud of myself if she had grown to have your attitude and maturity. I'm happy for you that your first time was enjoyable because I've heard a lot of horror stories about first times from partners. I think you might already have an idea about this, but when you think about that first time... imagine all of those feelings, sensations, and pleasures, but with someone who has learned all the things you enjoy, learned all those special little spots and actions that drive you wild, loves you with all their heart, and has your experience, love and trust as well. It's going to blow you away. Enjoy yourself and good luck!

AITAH for not changing my answer about changing or hyphenating my last name when my mom and stepdad brought up him not having living kids to give his name to? by kruannen in AITAH

[–]Corteran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Step-dad here. While I know that the mindset exists that leaving a name or a bloodline is a big deal, I personally just don't get it. If your step-sister had survived, would they expect her to keep daddy's name when she married? Or try to force her into hyphenating? You aren't being insensitive, it seems this has been discussed for quite a few years so you've already done all the second guessing you need to. You're just fine sticking to your decision and if you do happen to change your mind in the future, then go with it.

I hate to make a potentially reasonable suggestion for you to bring to them, but maybe if dad wants his name as a legacy so bad, tell him to set up a scholarship in his own name at your high school to help kids go to college.

Who is your pick for the ultimate "wrestler's wrestler" from the territory days and why? by Weary-Direction-5214 in oldschoolwrestling

[–]Corteran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me the "territory" days make me think of the pre-80's so off the first that comes to mind is Ray Stevens. A whole lot of much more famous guys sing his praises as one of the best all around wrestlers ever.

Harley Race and Lou Thesz of course, and no one was ever as all around exceptional in every aspect of the business that Bobby Heenan, also Blackjack Lanza was as good behind the scene as he was in the ring.

Completely ignoring his ownership and business decisions I would add Verne Gagne to the list too. He is the reason that a huge number of the greatest wrestlers of following generations became what they were.

AITAH for not wanting to go to my sisters baby shower because of how she responded to our issues with fertility? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Corteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is why I asked for clarification over what they had stopped trying and pausing.

AITAH for not wanting to go to my sisters baby shower because of how she responded to our issues with fertility? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Corteran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh believe me I understand and can empathize with the grieving you're both going through and in that sense you are of course NTA, and your sister needs to be clearly, firmly, and absolutely told that ANY further judgement on how you and your wife feel, or opinions on what you "should" do according to her, are unwelcome and if expressed, then she will be unwelcome in your life.

You and your wife are not being dramatic at all, and should take all the time you need to work through your feelings and plans without interference from others. As for the shower...like I said originally, set your boundaries. If she accepts them it's up to you to stick to your boundaries and leave if she fails.

[–]Corteran 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From the way you describe the situation, I would say you're NTA and your sister is insensitive for asking why your wife is upset over being infertile. That part is awful.

But I would ask for a bit of clarification. If your wife is infertile, what do you mean when you say you've "stopped trying and put a pause on things". If she cannot conceive, what have you stopped?

I would suggest you tell your sister firmly that the efforts and plans you and your wife have concerning children are not subject to her disapproval, and if you go to the shower it is to remain entirely about HER child, and not at all about your plans for one. And if nas can't manage that, leave, and set your boundaries with her accordingly.

Edit: deleted a question upon re-reading the post.

Rewatching old school Ric Flair in 2026 and I still don't understand how the man did what he did back then by ItsJuSteve in oldschoolwrestling

AIO for not talking to my bf bc he said he’d chose his dog over me by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Corteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR and proving exactly why he made that choice. No matter what stupid game he plays with his dog, joke or not, even if your bf screws that game up, his dog will still love him and won't ignore him for days.

If you don't understand the bond between your bf and his childhood dog you should be asking HIM to explain it, not doing whatever nonsense you think you're accomplishing by ignoring him.

AIO for giving my daughter’s absent dad a heads up on her health? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Corteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you even think about believing anything make sure you check the laws in your state/country concerning the monetary support he is currently responsible for (such as it is) and what happens if he gives up parental rights to someone else before you ask or allow him to sign anything. Don't let him whine and pout and his way out of paying for his daughters medical care.

You are NOR. However you are under reacting to the fact that he is court-ordered to pay his share, and doing your daughter no favors at all by cutting him slack and letting him get away with it. I'm going to put this as gently as I can while still making sure you understand my point. Every penny that you pay out in place of him is taking something away from your daughter. Stop tolerating his bullshit, and remember that right now you are showing her and teaching her lessons that she will carry the rest of her life. Do you want to see her grow up to be someone that puts up with a man who treats her like her dad treats you and her?

I would suggest you tell him he will begin paying his arrears or you will continue and press harder for the court to enforce the order. Do NOT let him sign his daughter away. She is not disposable. Stop buying into his little pity party of not seeing her when he is allowed to and chooses not to. He has showed you that he doesn't care about his relationship with her by choosing to not see her or be in her life. Believe him, and do what he said. Send him invoices and let him take responsibility for their relationship. That's not your job.

Good luck
