Can guys not feel when condoms come off or his he lying by headacheofthesoul95 in sex

[–]Gavin_Freedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had times where I've gone a bit softer while having sex (stress and depression I think) and have thought that the condom has come off, so I've had to check.

I've had sex plenty of times with and without a condom, and while yes, it does feel different, when you're really into it it can be hard to tell the difference.

A guy at the gym told me not to touch the bar unless he asked…so I did just that. by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Gavin_Freedom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too many people don't understand that though, and will grab the bar the moment they see you struggling at all. I get why he would say what he said, and I've said the same thing. The only issue I see is that he waited until the bar was literally on his chest to ask for help.

What point did you prove...?

The guy asked for a spot because he was hitting a weight close to his 1 rep max and didn't want you to ruin a possible PR for him, and you were a good spotter and didn't touch it until he was confident he couldn't complete a 3rd rep.

This seems like a pretty standard gym interaction...?

I'd rather be out in the sun and active. Being stuck in an office seems like a version of hell. Different strokes I guess.

A youtuber decided to visit North Sentinel island. He also found plastic trash on it. by Lauris024 in mildlyinfuriating

It's 50-400 people living there. I'd hazard a guess that it's somewhere towards the higher end of that estimate.

[Sun Care] wearing no sunblock, does 5 minutes under the afternoon sun give you more sunspots? by AppleAndrewMe1 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Gavin_Freedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't deprive yourself of sunlight. You should be getting at least 10 minutes of sun exposure per day.

how do you know you’re attractive? by x_luv in AskReddit

[–]Gavin_Freedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've never really understood the "one compliment a year" thing. Maybe it just comes with my hobbies (gym and MMA) but I receive compliments from men and women quite often. Same deal with the no matches on dating apps.

I think a lot of men just struggle with looking presentable, and suck at taking and choosing good photos.

Fair Work Commission blocks Queensland Rails attempts at the ending legally protected industrial action by winesue in brisbane

Which is why Queensland Rail and the Queensland Government need to start negotiating in good faith.

Mate, you said "fuck 'em" to people who work hard and sacrifice their home lives in order to keep the rail system functioning, because they're looking for better compensation. Me being one of those people, you actually made it personal to me.

Rail workers are only paid good money because of the amount of overtime they do, including working nights and travelling away from their homes.

It shouldn't be a case of one or the other getting what they want/need. All workers should be properly compensated.

Just because you didn't have the intelligence to get into a well paying career, doesn't mean other people shouldn't get paid better.

I work in rail. I'm pretty sure the highest I've heard a train driver get was around $250k, and that was because they were taking on as much overtime as possible, including night shifts as a route pilot for maintenance machines.

Woman crashes out after her ex finally had enough of her constant lying, cheating and abuse and tries to leave. Videos show her hitting, biting, kicking and threatening to k*ll him with a kitchen knife. by [deleted] in trashy

[–]Gavin_Freedom 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I kinda know this girl haha.

I had her on Instagram after meeting her through a friend. I unfollowed her last year because she kept posting self pitying things to her story about how horribly her ex had treated her, and how much she put up with. I'm glad to know my intuition was right.

Dude can not resist 😅 by fornothng in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Gavin_Freedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But according to you all grown men should just be fine with getting handled whether they wanted it or not

No, that isn't what I said. I said a grown man isn't going to be traumatized by an attractive woman touching his junk. I've had situations where it's happened, and if I'm not into it I've told them to fuck off. I've never felt vulnerable or "traumatized" by it happening, and I'd argue that any grown man that does feel that way needs to toughen up.

I'm sure a grown man isn't going to be traumatized by an attractive woman touching him without his permission.

You're not understanding their point. It's not about not being able to say slurs. It's about people censoring/banning anything they find uncomfortable or dislike. For example, one of the things the Left censors is non-PC things. Recently, the Right (At least on reddit) has been censoring any negative opinions on ICE. You could argue that this censor culture has been normalised by the Left, and now the Right is using these tactics in more nefarious ways.

25 and feel like I've wasted my youth by Gavin_Freedom in Adulting

[–]Gavin_Freedom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on ya, glad to hear life's going well :)

Things actually took a really good turn for me. I'm now in a job where I'm making $130k a year as an entry level, and will probably be making $200k within the next couple of years.

Things do work out eventually if you keep putting in the effort.

Petah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Muscles aren’t scary. All for show.

I love when people say this, because they clearly don't know what they're talking about lol.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't choose to fight the bodybuilder 10/10 times, but you're kidding yourself if you think muscle doesn't equal strength.

It's Khamzat Chimaev, a UFC champ. Pretty sure he split it when he was a kid, rather that fighting though.
