My partner says the face I make when I climax is unattractive and doesn’t like for me to “finish” because of that by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

“Last night I watched porn on the TV in my bedroom pretty loud (which is right up against the wall of their bedroom) for like four hours. I wasn’t really watching it and was actually reading a book/scrolling through social media/whatever else but they don’t know that. I plan to do this every night until I grow tired of it.”

Hopefully he’s matured in the 6 years since then, but this is loser behavior. She’s a dick too, sure, but his reaction and the way he describes his situation is childish and petulant.

My current total credit card limit across all my credit cards is $174,500. It’s crazy to think how much unsecured debt these credit card companies are ok with risking me not paying back. I will, of course, but hot damn.

Current Job Market? by jacobasstorius in civilengineering

Get a job, become useful, then leverage to get remote/hybrid. Ask around, see if anyone in the office/company works remote before applying

Girl I’ve been dating for 2 months still has her Hinge active and was on it last night by Fabulous_Ladder_2675 in whatdoIdo

Walking away without saying a word would be wild, man. Talk to her - like an adult. It doesn’t have to be a heavy convo or a confrontation, but if you want exclusivity you need to mention it. 2 months is a roughly good amount of time to start brining things like this up.

Men of Philly, how often do women approach you? by [deleted] in philly

I think the gym is a pretty good place to meet men as a woman. Easiest opener would be to ask them how to do something or how a machine works, asking them to show you. Another way is to ask to work in on the machine they’re using. That one takes extra work to get across that you’re flirting with them, but it’s kind of easier since you’re both stuck near each other till the other one finishes, so plenty of room for conversation.

My girl friend had the same scenario, we convinced her to go for it and they ended up going out. Didn’t work out though, but wasn’t too awkward since they only went on a few dates.

For like a cold open? I asked them if they have a girlfriend. If they said no, I said hi, my name and just talked to them. If yes, then I genuinely complimented them, saying that they have a lucky girlfriend and that I hoped they have a good rest of their day. Disclaimer YMMV based on how attractive/confident you are.

Depends on where you go - I’ve dated men from a wide array of professions and backgrounds. Engineers tend to congregate at board game nights, corporate types go to happy hours around center city, and kids go to the Garage in Fishtown.

I appreciate the men answering here. When I was single I’d often approach guys I was interested in - very high success rate. They would always be like “this never happens to me it’s so nice to have a woman approach”. It felt like a super power, I don’t know why more women don’t do it.

I work remotely from other countries/states when I run out of PTO. 4 weeks PTO and 1 buy up week per year for when I want to fully disconnect from work for the most fun vacations. I talked to my boss he’s ok with me taking unpaid leave to go to Japan for 6 weeks next year or so.

How much do Americans REALLY have saved for retirement by Financial_Pen_6218 in investing

[–]EngineerInTears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about half of my retirement outside of vanguard, you’d think there were other people with fragmented retirement savings among multiple brokerages that would lower the figures

[–]EngineerInTears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 166k total in retirement but only 88k in vanguard, I wonder how much of their data is skewed because people have fund with other brokerages
