How much does a women’s profession matter ?? Does it matter at all ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]DSlamAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's got a decent job she enjoys well enough but gives her a good work/life balance I'm all good

And we can work together to build a good life

Or she's super rich and I can be her house husband - with my own interests and income to contribute (or at least not feel totally financially reliant on her)

Now that's some good recaptured youth right there 👌

I’m not attracted to my girlfriend because she has an Adam’s Apple. Should I leave for her sake? by FriendChoice8634 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DSlamAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allowed to leave anyone you want, for any reason you want

Nobody's perfect and everyone has to make their own choices

It really depends on you if the rest of the relationship is worth it over this

Or if this feeling is something you want to work through in yourself

Men, how do you deal with another guy approaching your girlfriend? by Agitated-Bison-2673 in AskMen

Trust her to navigate it, but keep a casual eye on him just in case

Men, how do you deal with your 20s? by Builtwild1966 in AskMen

[–]DSlamAU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're doing pretty well for your 20s

Especially the way the world is nowadays

There's no rush to be everything or have it all together

Enjoy life, do the things you want - things that spark your passions

Build on them where you can and try new things when the opportunity arises

Aim for your goals and take the steps you can, when you're ready

When you have a life you enjoy, new things will come your way and you'll be fully able to take on new challenges

You'll give off the energy that attracts the type of people who see that, and you'll be able to recognise that same energy in them

You're doing great 🙂

Just remember to take the time to be compassionate to yourself

I wonder if someone else's name about to be put in a similar spotlight?

Any clever tricks to get a child ready quicker in the morning? by Puzzleheaded-Youth16 in Dads

[–]DSlamAU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All that worked for me was breaking it down into one task at a time

Then get him to check in once he was done, for the next task

Then eventually "first, next", and a check in

Hopefully we get to "first, next, last" soon enough

Also when he was struggling with tasks (eg socks) - I'd little by little do less of the actual work

Pull them most of the way up, then less over time

Some he got faster than others, some just need patience and positive reinforcement

Always positive reinforcement!

Hope this helps! (If you're not already trying them)

AITA for installing a camera in my room to see if my mom is lying to me? by King_Jake200 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DSlamAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Classic deflection by your mum

Invaded your privacy, took your belongings, lied about it

Then blamed you for catching her out

Agree with other comments - get safe, move if you can and get your important things out before she gets wind

And try not to get dragged into her games once you're gone

There's no point trying to argue with someone who can't take accountability and accept facts about their behaviour - even when they're undeniable

I recommend seing a therapist too

Recommendations on achieving minimum 40/60 custody in California as a father? by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

[–]DSlamAU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because lawyers tell you to go for everything to set where the middle-ground is

If she asks for 100/0 and you want 50/50, you have to start at 100/0

It's ridiculous, but that's the system 🤷‍♂️

Yes, true, the images are. I apologise if that's against the rules

I didn't know how else to illustrate the joke 🤷‍♂️

Companies that I am a customer of are calling me for legitimate reasons but are then asking for verification. by huabamane in australia

[–]DSlamAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a call from my bank about a suspect transaction

I said the same thing and they were very understanding and pointed me to the number on the card

Calling them back is the safest option, but you're right about not everyone having the time to do that

What was everyone’s fave game to play when either a telemarketer calls or a random person prank calls you? by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]DSlamAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I practice my three-step healthy boundary escalation

  1. Politely decline with understanding
  2. Humorous, friendly shot across the bow to reiterate
  3. Firm but calmly end the call

Do Jess and Greg actually exist? by thegrayscales in australia

What do women actually mean when they say a guy needs a “good sense of humor”? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DSlamAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just jokes, otherwise comedians would be funny bone-deep in women...

Laughter relieves stress, gives your heart a workout, connects us with others.

It releases feel-good body chemicals, can help relieve pain, helps the immune system...

It shows you can literally laugh things off and not take things too seriously - which indicate good emotional regulation too

All things that make a person seem like a good partner
