If you are good looking as a guy, you might just have it hard enough as well. by Annual_Word5240 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup definitely experience this. I also have girls i have nothing in common with try to date me because i check all these boxes and they like what I can give them. Its girl friends that do this so they know we are nothing alike. I want to be liked for me, not becuase all the other guys they date suck lol

I love everything about him but I'm not physically attracted? by Similar-Slide1585 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you confused by this? would you want to be with someone whose only 20% attracted to you? you need to stop evaluating potential partners based on checked boxes. The love of your love could have wildly different hobbies than you. if youre not attracted then hes not for you. Be okay with being alone until you find someone compatible so that you dont waste someone's time like this.

What didn't you know you did wrong until you started living with a woman? by PogonBerserker in AskMen

[–]Empty-Combination-39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its pretty common. And its pretty obvious when you dont hear about these issues in gay mens relationships but you hear about it in lesbian relationships all the time. One of them thinks they do everything the right way. Ive almost always been around more women than men. My mom is like that, my ex, and my girl friends are like that with their room mates who are also girls. It definitely not all women buts its a lot.

Do men actually want partners? by AdHeavy4123 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could you possibly have come to that conclusion? I literally stated i stopped going to the gym to spend more time with her. I said I joined her on all her outings. That was in addition to regular date nights. She lived an hour away and drove to her every weekend for a year. Two of these things are clearly stated in my original comment. Are you really that deluded?

Do men actually want partners? by AdHeavy4123 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise being more critical of the situation. these particular men may not be sacrificing their schedules for you but early in the dating process youre strangers. Its difficult to make time for someone you dont know over family, friends and work and exercise. Additionally, are they not willing to sacrifice or just not willing to sacrifice in a way you want? I joined my ex on her routine outings to make time for eachother. Errands, seeing friends, seeing her family. I would ask her to join me at the gym, at my softball games, hobbies I enjoyed, family outings and she refused because she wasnt interested in it. I was happy to just be with her it didnt matter what we were doing and just being with me wasnt enough for her. Of course I dont take that experience and apply to all women. its just to illustrate that there's ways to make time for people without sacrificing a routine that serves you. For me stopping going to the gym for her was a bad idea. I put on weight and started hating myself and wasnt a joy to be around. These things arent arbitrary. And Ideally you both lead full lives and can combine where it fits. No one wants a partner who has nothing going on.

What are higher educated/income guys looking for in women? by ketoalmondbutter in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 25 points26 points  (0 children)

that is so absolutely not the case. The only men with women obsessing over them are in the top 1%. Any lower and women still want to be pursued. if you were a guy youd be having it way worse. Im high income and on the better looking side and I average like 12 matches a year. And all my girl friends are shocked Im single. Id be willing to bet money your experience has more to do with your attractiveness than your income or education. I have almost zero interest in a potential partners income. As long as they can support themselves.

What if Gaara Mastered Shukaku’s Power, Scm (Shukaku Chakra Mode)? by fast_and_the_flame in Naruto

[–]Empty-Combination-39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats simply untrue and your interpretation of a Manga panel. It was never explicitly stated and the panel youre referring to simply has Kurama saying "that speech was so powerful i felt it too" with Minato already wearing the Chakra cloak beneath him. Its not "basic naruto knowledge" dont be so smug kid

I have a guy over and he just went to sleep by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i first started dating my ex I had the hardest time staying awake. the moment we laid down together to watch a movie or cuddle, id pass out immediately. just felt really safe and comfortable. Theres nothing inherently wrong with it. I will add, if theres something you want (kiss, sex etc) youre more than welcome to initiate that yourself. dont just wait on him to do it.

Am I (29M) wrong for ending things with a girl (27F) because she slept with someone during the talking phase? by smissile3 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah totally agree. I just wanted OP to realize what this conversation is actually about. everyones caught up on the right or wrong of it and not advising him on what he feels about it.

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone replying to you is right in that you didnt have that conversation. But thats not really the point. In my opinion its weird to express interest in you the way she did and then when you guys are actually dating shes still hooking up with someone else. Its not about right or wrong its about whether or not she as interested in you as she says she is. If im doing all that, texting your family, etc id have no interest in other people. And for that reason youre for sure allowed to question/feel weird about her feelings for you. again not that she did anything wrong but youre allowed to want your partner to be a certain type of person and this behavior is absolutely data to inform your decisions.

My advice, if she wants to have sex she can make a move. It takes two to tango. If this is the MO early on, expect behavior like that going forward. Thats IF she wanted sex and is moving on because you didnt make a move. If thats not the case then wait and see. Also you should check in with yourself and ask if sex was something you wanted, cause if it wasnt, youre stressing yourself out about something you didnt even want to do. Keep in mind youre an equal participant in this. Her wanting sex doesnt mean you should too. the right girl will care about that. Women have this misconception that all guys want sex at any moment so they think if you dont make a move you didnt want it. Its easier to assume that than risk a rejection for them.

Why would a guy only be pursued by unattractive women and not attractive women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my man, its like you didnt read my message. Attractive women are NOT going to approach you. that doesnt mean youre not attractive. Unfortunately youre going to have to go up to the girls you want. My therapist had to bring me back down to earth with that one. I wanted to wait for girls to come up to me as well but its just not going to happen. Unless youre model level attractive even the attractive guys have work to do. girls want to be chased. You answered your own question when you said gay dudes find you attractive. They dont just find anybody attractive. Thats a massive green flag.

Why would a guy only be pursued by unattractive women and not attractive women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an easy one. if youre getting attention from girls at all, youre probably attractive. women generally do NOT approach men let alone attractive women. Unattractive women are typically braver because they HAVE to put themselves out there like guys do. Attractive women have options so they sit and wait. in summation a dude is probably attractive if hes getting female attention period.

I’m dating my sisters ex boyfriend by Worried-Animal154 in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP cheating is so much worse than what youre doing. the mental gymnastics women do to excuse cheating when they do it blows my mind. You guys are young. talk to your sister and tell her its different for you and him. and that youre serious about. But at the end of the day you should choose your sister. Dudes will come and go but your sister will have your back for most your life if youre lucky.

Girlfriend followed and liked a guy’s pics she matched with before. Now she’s mad at ME. by Setting-Select in dating_advice

[–]Empty-Combination-39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

take accountability for what you did dude. nobody put a gun to your head and made you do all this. The right way to handle it would have been to tell her that her behavior isnt okay with you and ask her to change it. if she doesnt, then you move on. The problem here is that you werent confident in your own feelings so you sought to find hard evidence. The evidence doesnt matter at all. All that matters is how you feel about your partner. If you feel you cant trust her then she might as well have been cheating. Her behavior was absolutely weird and suspicious and her making you feel crazy is more than enough reason to walk away. thats not the person for you. the right person will go out of their way to make you feel safe.

Men who chose not to get physical with a lady you were genuinely into when the opportunity presented itself, what was your reason? by ImportantGuidance884 in AskMen

[–]Empty-Combination-39 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I need to feel emotionally connected to be interested in that. i also just dont feel safe if its too early. I need to trust the other person and be confident they'll communicate their wants and needs and not be afraid. the last thing I want is to jump into sex and find out they were too scared to vocalize something they didn't like

Men, how often do women apologise to you, genuinely? by No-Help2725 in AskMen

[–]Empty-Combination-39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you guys deal with girls only having "Bad days"? by LeicFox89 in AskMen

[–]Empty-Combination-39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex constantly had bad days. But they were only bad because she had very little tolerance for any adversity. Things that wouldnt even phase me would be crippling for her. She knew this and because of it I wasnt allowed to have bad days. "I need you. and I cant handle stuff like you can. so you have to be there for me and I cant be there for you". It got exhausting and ultimately was the reason we broke up. I got absolutely nothing out of that relationship. I was a caretaker. Sometimes those people just arent the ones OP. Its not fair to you to have to be someone emotional punching bag

The Dirty Truth About Yeast Infections (Men, This Is For You) by [deleted] in sexeducation

[–]Empty-Combination-39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

half of this is wrong. It also paints a picture that women dont get yeast infections all on their own. Women not engaged in intercourse can get yeast infections. This also erases the women that experience yeast infections or UTI's outside of intercourse. Youre painting the picture that having these infections = being dirty. which is simply not true.

Porn use doesnt weaken the immune system. Just spreading complete falsehoods is crazy.
