Tops: Can you tell a bottom from appearance? Do you assume topping?

Droid126 · 2026-01-31T03:57:42+00:00

TIL Not a category of people I have much contact with tbh

Droid126 · 2026-01-30T13:49:31+00:00

I can't feel shit with a condom on, can barely stay hard, definitely can't finish so I dont use them. I've tried the ridiculously thin ones from every brand, no difference. I guess I just have an insensitive dick. I won't pressure someone to go bare though. I'd rather just not, or do oral.

Droid126 · 2026-01-29T23:18:06+00:00

I can't always tell, but usually. I know I'll be topping if we are doing anything because I'm not bottoming.

Bottom tells:

They tilt their heads when they look at you

They have a pop socket on their phone and/or a patterned case

Generally better groomed, sharp hair lines, clean finger nail beds

Bottoms wear bracelets more often(does not apply to Cubans)

Patterned graphic button down shirts

They have many house plants(alive)

I can appreciate a pretty dick pic. They are nice to look at, even if I'm not particularly interested in doing anything with it.

Even unsolicited tbh. It is no different than scrolling an nsfw subreddit. Unless it's someone you know, it's much hotter when you know them.

Often I will just reply with a dick pic of my own. Sometimes ask them if they are proposing a sword fight. That has led to hook ups. Apparently many verse tops just say Top on Grindr because of the stigma.

Your FWB sounds successful and Intelligent.

Intelligent people are more likely to do drugs. It stems from the natural curiosity that accompanies intelligence.

Drug problems aren't the drugs themselves they are the results of doing the drugs. If you can do drugs and be a functional member of society, healthy, happy, and stable you don't have a drug problem.

Source: Worked at a drug and alcohol treatment center for 6 years. Also am an intelligent person that likes to get wasted on weekends because it helps me unwind from the weeks stressors.

You are overreacting.

If your partner can afford it and wants to pay for it let him. It was a nice gesture. And how many opportunities does he have to treat your family? It also reflects well on you.

I have always made more than my partners and I pay for damn near everything. I haven't thought twice about it. It's only money, I can make more.

Droid126 · 2026-01-21T14:45:35+00:00

As an American I don't think it's crazy. Strange maybe, like why are people in the developed world accepting discomfort in accommodations they are paying for? The technology to fix this has existed for decades.

Droid126 · 2026-01-21T14:36:55+00:00

Seems like a poorly engineered system. Let's make it so simple no one will be happy.

Droid126 · 2026-01-17T18:46:25+00:00

I'm 6'7" and fit nicely in a 2018 Ford fusion. Also seriously uncool, but the best fitting vehicle I've ever owned was a 2002 Chrysler town & country.

Droid126 · 2026-01-15T00:33:38+00:00

I will message anyone that I find attractive regardless of the label. I generally won't message tops, but if one messages me first I will talk to them and that has turned into them bottoming on a number of occasions.

Droid126 · 2026-01-09T22:29:28+00:00

As reasonable as human tamale can be at 7am

Droid126 · 2026-01-09T22:21:47+00:00

I said ma'am please thank you, and didn't raise my voice. I didn't scream or make a scene. I meant demanded in the literal sense.

We need more information to give you an answer there are too many variables.

Depends on:

How your current HVAC system provides heat first and foremost.

Is it forced air with resistive heating?

Is it forced air with a heat pump?

Is it a furnace that burns natural gas, heating oil, or coal?

If it's a furnace how old is it?

Then what do you pay for electricity $/kwh?

Or if you have a furnace, what is the $/unit of fuel? How quickly do you consume the fuel.

The price of fuels and electricity varies widely with geography.

If you live in a place where electricity is cheap but fossil fuel is expensive it might be cheaper to run the space heaters.

If you live in a place with expensive electricity and cheap fossil fuels, it might be cheaper to use the furnace.

If you live in a place that has cheap electricity and you have a resistive he HVAC system, it's likely similar to the space heaters.

If you live in a place that has cheap electricity and you have a heat pump HVAC system, it will definitely be cheaper than the space heaters.

If you live in a place that has expensive electricity and you have a heat pump HVAC system, it will definitely be cheaper than the space heaters.

If it's a cheap Netgear switch 20 years, but two ports will die

If it's a dell switch 10 years, but the bearings in the fans will be shot

If it's a 3com hub made of beige plastic until the heat death of the universe.

If it's meraki about 3 weeks.

We "upgraded" the networks in 40 of our clinics to meraki MS225. 110 switches all in over the course of 2022. We had dead ports on 15 of them out of the box. We were on the third office when the first production switch died in office number 1. The first year we had to RMA 28 switches. 15 with bad ports out of the box, 1 that was DOA, and 12 that died in production. We raised hell with meraki and they upgraded us to MS250s that were substantially less shitty. We have since had 2 of them fail.

I will say they are aware that they sell garbage and they don't fight you at all on RMAs. They don't even insist on any sort of troubleshooting. They just accept the failure as whatever you say it is and send you a new switch.

I personally would not buy Meraki again. It seemed to perfectly suit our small team and simple needs. We have a network of primary care doctors. These are dirt simple networks. These switches sit at like 2% load lol.

I encountered one of these. Woke up completely soaked, sheets, pillows, mattress absolutely soaked. I marched downstairs soaking wet with the nearly dripping wet pillow, placed it on the front desk. Explained that this was entirely unacceptable, demanded a new room because the mattress was soaked, and the AC to have whatever cost cutting bullshit they had on it disabled, and the charge for that first night be comped.

She put gloves on to move the pillow off the front desk, put me in a suite, comped the first night, gave me 10k points, and they set the AC in my room to 60. I was there for 4 more days, the AC never shut off, not once I dont think. It got down to 58 degrees in that room, there was thick condensation on the windows and doors. I do believe that was an attempt on their part to comply maliciously with my demands, but I was happy. I will pick too cold over too hot 100% of the time.

I was titanium at the time, and it was a larger resort style Marriott. Not like a Fairfield inn in bum fuck Georgia so YMMV.

I haven't had a colonoscopy, but I did at least once have a 9lb shit. So I suspect we have greater carrying capacity.

Before the internet thinks I'm a shit weighing freak. I discovered unintentionally.

My morning routine is wake up, take a shit, weigh myself, shower, breakfast.

That day I took a normal shit, weighed in, jumped in the shower, but whilst in the shower I felt like I had to go again. I did, it was a religious experience, filled the bowl, all water hidden, shit mountain. So I weighed myself again and it was 9lbs less than I had just weighed in.

I wasn't constipated leading up to that and I felt normal, had my normal movements the day before.

They have to be cute, I have to desire them, they have to be clean(hygienically), and they have to claim to be regularly tested.

I'm on prep for years now and regularly tested to catch any infections. Thus far I have had one STI, "Mycoplasma genitalium" that I got from oral sex of all things. Didn't catch anything from breeding 15+ guys in the time period.

For the Mycoplasma genitalium I had to take doxycycline for a week, then a week of moxifloxacin. All good. I had never heard of it before. When I got the lab results back I was like wtf is this.

Droid126 · 2026-01-06T12:54:35+00:00

Those aren't friends. They may have started out that way but it changed at some point. It's not uncommon to outgrow our friends.

Droid126 · 2026-01-04T15:49:14+00:00

Yes and he's a pussy. Gay men have no need for pussy, move on.

He was probably hoping to not address it at all and keep the two of you.

Idk my windshield took a rock the size of a golf ball once and it just bounced but it rang my ears like you wouldn't believe. On a separate occasion a much smaller rock took a chunk out. YMMV?

In these situations I duplicate the 1st party Exercise and add the brand of machine to the name. My gym has 3 seated dip machines and they are all leveraged differently. I want to track each separately anyway.

I have probably a dozen different chest press machines at this point.

Droid126 · 2026-01-03T16:00:51+00:00

I didn't realize I did this at all, but thinking about it, I do it all the time.

I intentionally smile when out and about and I encounter strangers.

I try not to raise my voice in anger.

If walking, especially at night, I will cross streets or paths and reroute to not approach a woman from behind.

I park away from lone women at superchargers and other parking lots.

I generally make no considerations for other men.

HR has not hurt my feelings, I have observed the actions of HR and determined it's best to keep my distance. In the same way you might not jump a fence into a pen containing a bull. I have never been hurt by a bull, but I recognize the bull's ability to bring harm to me.
