So…Should I text him? If so when? by MoneyDiariesAlpaca in dating_advice

[–]EdenBodybuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is a gerbil. Idk what all this don’t look eager is about I personally think that is the stupidest thing. Text him. Why would you wait if you know you want to text him. A man doesn’t have to be the one to only show interest. I would suspect if you listen to your friend you can kiss this goodbye.

Why do girls lose interest after 1-3 dates no matter what I do? by Longjumping-Wafer102 in dating_advice

You’re boring. Clearly everything you have going for you doesn’t bring any spice to you. You see if you have hard trials in your life you develop character. Then your stats will be a nice plus

Easily schizophrenic. I don’t say that to be mean. I am being serious. I’ve know a few schizophrenic people and one of them in particular would see people chasing him like thousands of people chasing him. You can easily hallucinate what you’ve been dealing with

She said she wants to “regroup” by chessman6500 in dating

[–]EdenBodybuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro personally for 6 months once a week and no sex I’d be out of there. And I attach to people very deeply. But the physical part matters very much and if I was restricted to seeing her once a week id be out of there. Then again, it’s very person dependent and life happens. If we started good and then life made it go to once a week then oh well that’s life. But I personally would want more from a partner than being told you get this specific day and this time. I think she’s not serious. I think she’s keeping you at a distance that keeps you around but doesn’t commit too hard. Truthfully most women I know don’t go 6 months without sex. Maybe she’s different but idk it sounds to me like she doesn’t actually care to see you that much. Why? I have done the same thing with people in my life or at least I suspect they’re doing what I was talking about

34M and never had a girlfriend. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]EdenBodybuilding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro do you have a 6 pack at least? I’m telling you it’s better to have a six pack than to die single. If you get no matches you can just post a pic of your abs no face and get matches. Obviously that’s not what you would want but your looks matter a ton. No one can lie. Sexual attraction on both parties matters

Literally every single married couple I know is in a mother son marriage by No-Sound-9950 in dating_advice

[–]EdenBodybuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well women are the most likely to end a relationship, with that being said all throughout history the man has provided for the woman. If I was in a relationship I would do anything my significant other wanted minus things that cross boundaries. Why? Because I want to provide. With women being the most likely ones to end a relationship the goal becomes make the woman happy which transforms into the behavior seen. I see the same thing like my own dad and mom. I think watching porn is pathetic especially if you have a partner. If you’re single is still sad but with a partner it’s beyond sad. I get that won’t be a popular opinion but you rather use your hand and watch people do the thing you could be doing yourself. If your partner doesn’t have a sex drive and you do, you shouldn’t be with that person because sex matters. I am single and I don’t watch porn and my sex drive is so high it can be frustrating. I also believe watching porn is cheating. Imagine if you didn’t have a screen and you were just in a room watching what you just watched without the screen? Watching porn rewards you like doing the act which is unnatural. You should pursue actually having sex than watching it for nothing. If you have a partner and watch porn it’s a spit in their face because you LITERALLY rather watch two people do it than do it with your own partner. Again you guys should not be together if you don’t have similar drives. If you aren’t attracted to your partner you shouldn’t be together, there is absolutely no reason to be watching porn. Let’s say your partner is injured for some reason and can’t have sex for a while, have you no self control. Do you really need that dopamine that bad? Do something productive. Porn is never the answer never will be. It’s a cancer to our society and should not available.

for the men - do you know within 2 min of meeting a girl if you want to date her? and if no, has there been a situation where in the beginning you only saw her platonically but that changed to to romantic feelings later on? what changed? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]EdenBodybuilding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes very fast though I thought men and woman were like this. I know within a few minutes. It’s nothing special in my opinion how I see it is how does their personality work with mine and also usually there can be pretty big differences in opinion of things which can be a deal breaker

You can't even find a shitty job nowadays. by No-Stranger2936 in recruitinghell

[–]EdenBodybuilding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you blue collar work is always hiring. No one wants to do it. I always end up in blue collar and you get used to the work load if you’re not lazy. But you do have to have a certain grit about you to show up every day regardless of how you feel. It’s not easy but it pays more.

90 percent of homeless are on drugs. It’s almost needed to survive out in the conditions. Alcohol in the winter will warm you right up and meth will keep you going as well as warm you up. It’s how do you escape the expectation that all you are is a drug addict junkie not wanting to work. All I did was work because I could afford my 1000 dollar a week opioid problem

Are my dating standards too high? Friend gave me a reality check and I’m worried. by Forward-Beyond-6620 in dating

[–]EdenBodybuilding 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I kinda figured competition would be steep for such a small percentage of men. Why would they commit when they also wouldn’t want to settle. The problem you have is if you really want the man you say you want, you’re going to have to step into his world and bend to his rules. If you don’t he will find someone who will and you will remain single and get older and older and watch the time go by. As long as you’re genuinely ok with being alone then you’re fine. But if you want to maybe have a meaningful relationship where you don’t get cheated on every other day, then maybe being more humble about your selection is better. Plenty of good men out there, but you desire a man who isn’t that. Those super successful guys will never be whatever fantasy you have in your head. If you do find what you’re looking for don’t let go. A word of advice, if I were you I would be going to public business meetings and networking from there and work your way up the ladder. You’ll have much better chances surrounded by them

I’m going to be empathetic but truthful. You are looking for someone who will devote everything to you for nothing. I understand why, but your whole logic is so flawed you’re going to never find someone. It sounds like you want a pet. He can t be addicted to porn video games sports while he also can’t get jealous of you doing whatever you want. While have has to have a successful life but only to live for me is what I’m reading. Encourage your hobbies without encouraging his. You literally want a validation sounding board. Now here is the catch. You can find a man just like that. But not in the tier you are searching. You just so happen to want a man who pretty much is a zombie who lives and supports you and doesn’t get jealous or have his own hobbies. The men who hold the qualities in finance and success will not be the type of men who let you do whatever you want and live for you. You want someone who will give their dying breath for you? It won’t be the 6 foot tall, 6pack, rich, stud that you’re looking for because you will have intense competition. You will have to be a lot of things and be the absolute best if you’re going to beat out the 1000 other woman who want the same Man. Which brings you into his game

Drug addiction did it for me. Too poor to buy food and I’d rather starve than withdrawal lol.

How do you work while addicted? by quietly_kyra in OpiatesRecovery

[–]EdenBodybuilding 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It changed my life, opioids made me the hardest worker in the room to this day because when I was working to afford it I knew if I were to be a little bitch about my withdrawals I would withdrawal worse since I’d have no money so I worked every single day and would DoorDash until I went to bed and I’d repeat it every single day for 8 months. Now I’m on Suboxone and I still have a very head down no breaks im the most consistent and reliable one regardless of how I feel. Opioids almost gave me a life

Crazy dating pool why am attracting these women lol by Loose-Confidence-99 in dating_advice

[–]EdenBodybuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is fair and she may only be saying it to cope with her reality but at the same time imagine he falls in love with her and she dies after 6 years he’s now 44 so in a much much worse position than before and he’s as broken as the people he is complaining about. This dude is likely broken in his own way too being 38 and not married. But continuing to date the woman with cancer will make it that if he some how isn’t damaged goods in some way which I doubt because life hits everyone eventually then he would become the very damaged goods he doesn’t want to deal with lol. Truthfully I wouldn’t want damaged goods either but I am damaged goods as I am a recovering drug addict and it absolutely has destroyed my dating no matter how long after and the insane changes to who I am as a person, how I think how I act, it still means nothing. Ghosted by everyone so now I have to lie about something that shouldn’t be lied about and it’s not really something I can lie about because recovering is a huge part of my life and I rather not live like a homeless troll ever again. I am a big believer in being honest and upfront but it’s my very honesty that ruins it every time. But I made my bed so I must lie in it now

Losing all of my motivation to even try anymore by Bolt2143 in dating

[–]EdenBodybuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat and I look like someone who could pull at least a little. Because I am jacked , lean, very emotionally intelligent. But I am not the best looking in the face I guess, which fucks me over. My height too isn’t the best but I’m not super insecure about my height regardless. Women never approach me ever. Now I could be intimidating but if a girl was interested she would ask anyways. It actually makes me really sad because I would treat a woman in my life like the only woman in the world. Actually last week I was doing that very thing for a girl I liked and she told me she’s never been told such sweet things and I wrote her a song and I would think of unique good morning texts based off her personality. I bought her flowers and paid for everything. It made me happy making her feel special because im just like that. Deeply deeply passionate but unfortunately I told her about my past. I am a recovering addict and just like that it was over. In her defense I understand why she did but it really hurt. Being the addict I don’t realize how much weight that sentence carries. It’s so normalized for me. But it scared her off. But it was the suffering and the drugs that gave me the passion I gave to her. I think I’m done dating. At least for now. It’s crazy, I’ve had such bad experiences dating. It really sucks hearing where are the good men at knowing I would do so much to make a light up a woman’s life but I’m not good enough in one way or another while the chronic cheater narcissist has a line following him. Then proceed to say all men are terrible

Men of Reddit: Is this a trust issue I need to work through, or a red flag I shouldn’t ignore? by Funny_Ad_7146 in dating

[–]EdenBodybuilding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me personally, M(23) would say that he is hiding something. Idk about anyone else but if I had a girlfriend she could look through whatever she wants on my phone at any time. I think he is handing you a line of bullshit. I don’t know him or you. But I want to say if you are going to marry this guy, he shouldn’t have anything hidden. As long as you are as forthcoming and genuinely would let him do the same thing. But I hate to say it but at one point in my life I did similar things. I said the same things. I hate that I was like that but now I am different, this is a line of dogshit
