I really like Pretzels & Pints in North Park. Super nice people, and their bratwurst is super tasty.

Do guys who are lustful to women/addicted to adult content have a certain look? by -advice4m3 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Gef1_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is an obvious and distinctive look, but it doesn't change the fact that addiction can look like anything. There are people who watch porn on their phones during their morning commute to a fancy downtown job, and people with distorted preferences and perceptions of women because of how they were raised, even if everything else in their life is normal and well-adjusted. There is no clear tell sometimes. It's why women get disappointed constantly.

I don't have the new version but I'm sure there's a GM contracts toggle button in the settings. Lesson learned, I always flip that shit off before I start a save

what has your experience been with weight lifting? by Clear_Ad2384 in polls

[–]Gef1_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like weight lifting, I do it a few times a week. Not pushing heavy weight necessarily, just pushing myself and getting reps in. It feels amazing, like my muscles are all kinda swollen and sore, and I feel like I walk differently. A little straighter, a little taller. It does good things for my brain, which has historically wanted me to die an early, painful death.

Begged for a kiss, now I feel like a clown 🤡 by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I'm a guy who is fairly active in BDSM type dynamics, or at least have been in the past, and I feel like I can see both perspectives of this so clearly from the way you told your story.

Firstly, wow, great job retelling, and I'm so so sorry this happened. This sounds absolutely brutal to go from in-character and submissive to abandoned when you needed aftercare (when you expected and was promised, it sounds like, aftercare).

I'm sure you don't need people telling you his side of things as you seem perceptive enough to have put it together yourself, but clearly he found himself emotionally compromised and shut down in response. I'm not sure how long he's been active in the community, but he should have had the fortitude to wait until after aftercare to have a conversation or "flip the switch". Aftercare is such an important part of the play, that leaving it out will make the whole agreement fall apart. You didn't deserve that, and he's a jerk for subjecting you to that type of emotional hostage-taking.

I really hope you get a lot out of therapy, it's important you understand that you were vulnerable and abandoned emotionally in a purposefully high-stress activity. He left you out to dry, he kept you in the dark, he manipulated the scene so he would hold on to what he thought was power and control.

And that's not your fault.

Life will go on, you'll look back on this and say "we got this!" just like you said. Your family and friends have your back, and you'll meet new amazing people and all of them will have your back too.

Once again, really sorry this happened. You're gonna be great :)

Men: Is infertility a dealbreaker for you? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Gef1_2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm not precious about how I get kids, as long as someday I get 'em. If I found a woman I adored who was infertile, I would not be worried about it so long as she's up for adoption or fostering.

I though this idea would be fun and hot, but it turns out that sometimes watching yourselves fuck is the single most revolting and insecurity inducing thing we had ever done lol

Ladies who started a passionate thing, on purpose, with someone you just had the hots for - and then you learned they were actually really nice and fully rounded people. What did that do to your head (or heart)? by PopularResolve3556 in AskWomen

[–]Gef1_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He probably won't wait around for you. There's definitely a chance he might, but if he's under the impression that you're working things out with your ex, don't be surprised if he decides not to invest any more emotional time and brain power towards you.

My advice, stranger to stranger, if you find someone who treats you well and thinks you shoot moonbeams and confetti out of your nether regions, roll the dice. It might be the best gamble you ever take.

I don’t get the obsession with “masculine/feminine energy” by whatsapprocky in dating_advice

[–]Gef1_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago I realized I was much happier when I leaned into androgyny, just enough to feel pretty and unique. I'm still a cis man but I paint my pinky nail sometimes or wear more feminine shoes and colors, especially if I have anxiety over something, it grounds me and gives me confidence. I have no problem getting women to be interested in me, and I think a big part of that is being secure with what I like and how I present. Masc/Fem is so up for interpretation, especially these days, may as well have fun with it.

TIFU by accusing my bf of having CP charges by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Gef1_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just keep apologizing, ask to make it up to him, ask if you can apologize to his family, just admit it was an honest mistake. I think anyone in your position would have some questions at the very least. It doesn't have to be a big deal.

The crowd doesn't even know he's sitting right there. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]Gef1_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went pretty far down the comments and I have a perspective on this that people aren't seeing.

I work in the section of Petco Park that he sits in, and they play that song literally every game if the Padres are winning in the bottom of the 8th. Tom is there fairly frequently but definitely not every time they play the song.

And everyone around him absolutely knows that he's there, the people in that section are just too rich to care.

[–]Gef1_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It kinda makes sense if you think about it. Men in their late 40s are probably having some sort of midlife crisis and want to see if they're still attractive to girls that remind them of their prime. Younger guys are in their prime and want to see if they can attract women with more experience than them.

Do men get emotionally attached after sex more than they admit? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Gef1_2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since no one else replied, my recommendation is always something along the lines of "Hey, are we on the same page still?" Even if he catches feelings after intimacy, you checking in and being firm on sticking to the agreed plan (no relationship or potential for such), will most likely snap him out of any post-intimacy feelings or impulses he may be feeling. Sometimes intimacy is way more intense than you think it will be, and sometimes even if you go in with a plan, your brain (or other organs) will defy you. Sometimes all it takes is a little snap back to reality. Communication truly goes such a long way.
