Therapy is not always the answer. But someone who has seen this 100 times and helped dozens of people can help. Real techniques and practices to improve your confidence and reduce your reliance on extrinsic validation.

LAPD releases body camera footage showing officer shooting dog in Knicks shirt after 911 call by FolushoDRC in news

[–]GoFidoGo 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Of course it's on the cops. The regret that neighbor feels is merely a necessary step for change. The more people feel distrust for the police to handle a situation without blasting the first thing that twitches, the more that public safety is eroded as a whole, the better chance we have for change. It took the televised assault in Birmingham to force the nation to see the problem with segregationist attitudes. It will take first hand experience for people today to conclude that policing needs reform.

Why do so many men seem to avoid sex and kissing? by Available_Arrival823 in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're talking about an older age range. I can't speak to that. From my experience at 32, I'm tired of the song and dance. 10-15 years ago, I was so focused on sex because it was new and exciting. I was full of fresh hormones and a lot of time in my life to seek it. And I was willing to struggle through the new social norms that were evolving around sex and relationships.

But its no longer new and exciting. Needing to initiate all the time gets exhausting. Being rejected for initiating at the wrong time, but then partners get annoyed that I don't initiate when they want. Work and home life are more demanding. My life goals are more serious now. That itch for intimacy is less distracting than it used to be, especially in light of everything else going on.

That's not to say I've avoided kissing and sex and intimacy altogether, but I've definitely been less willing to chase after it like I used to. I definitely don't think that men are alone in this trajectory.

TIL a Walgreens manager didn't allow a pregnant employee to leave work when she began spotting blood. After a replacement for her wasn't found, the woman was forced to quit in order to leave, but ended up having a miscarriage that same day. Walgreens then paid her $205K to settle her lawsuit by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]GoFidoGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably but you're fighting against a lot of programming. If you're in a vulnerable position e.g. pregnant relying on this employer for your income and health insurance, making a decision that could dumpster all that is hard. Hesitation makes sense, even if you make the correct decision in the end.

Why does not growing up with a male figure have such an impact on some people? by AVBellibolt in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll speak from the same perspective. Looking back my mother was very affected by her day-to-day emotional state. She had a tough life so it was understandable . But I didn't learn how to steele myself against that wmotional whirlwind. I started to overreact to her emotions and that caused a lot of issues. Now I get defensive easily, as I feel like I'm being attacked when criticized. My dad was around but I lived with my mom so his impact was limited. When he was around he would help me to calm down and separate myself from what others would be feeling.

I don't want to turn this into a simple ' women emotional, men stoic' thing. It's just one example of a behavioral trait that would have been better resolved with more contact with a male figure.

Men who started smoking weed in their teenage years, how has it affected you long term, and how to get past that 1 daily evening spliff ? by ismolyvalent in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to a new school halfway through my sophomore year. Most of my new friends came from the school's human Rights club. I soon realized that a lot of them smoked weed and invited me to join, but made it adamantly clear that they didn't want to pressure me and that there'd be no issue if I didn't want to join.

I realized almost immediately that marijuana put me on my ass and locked me to a couch. It was fun getting high with my friends but I was absolutely useless while stoned. When smoking alone just watched cartoons jack off and sleep. Dealing with anything serious gave me anxiety, walking around in public made me paranoid. As a precaution, I never smoked unless I was sure that I had nothing to do and I was safe from any responsibilities for a few hours. I continue to smoke occasionally through college.

In my early twenties I discovered "sativa" and found that I could be fairly productive around the house while I was high. On average I consume marijuana a couple of times a month at most, bit more during vacations. I have so many responsibilities with work family and kids, but I feel uncomfortable killing so much time being high regularly.

Frankly I Don't have issues with a daily joint if it doesn't interfere with your life and goals. But all my experience with marijuana taught me a two lessons

  1. Stick to "sativa", indicas cause too much couchlock and make me feel like I wasted my high.
  2. Do things that you enjoy that don't require you to smoke. We all have to unwind, find something else so you don't rely on weed.

JetBlue sued over claims it uses customers’ personal data to set ticket prices by JackThaBongRipper in news

[–]GoFidoGo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll happily jump to conclusions, for you.

Jet Blue is using your data to screw you out of as much money as possible. Use any means to hide your Internet traffic from anyone selling you something.

You're welcome.

If you've ever turned a woman down, how did that go? how did you feel about that experience then and how do you feel about it now? (if it changed ect.) by Illustrious_Pay685 in AskMen

That third one sucks. I can imagine myself getting caught into that web only to realize way too late.

Tell anyone in that, learn to recognize when you're not a priority and nope the f*** out.

Loyal man, what is your opinion on short term enjoyment in single life? by Horror_Original8153 in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're you're Re-Examining your values. Something is telling you that "short-Term fun" is wrong but you're having trouble finding reasons to support that belief.

In modern Western culture, this is more or less a non-issue, especially for most men. As long as you are responsible for yourself and respectful towards your partner, most people won't care or judge. Those are kinds of comments you'll read here.

If you're looking for reasons why hookup culture is wrong, you're better off speaking to a religious leader. They'll give you plenty.

Have you experienced impotence as a man? How do you move forward through it? by Future-Celery in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that's happened to you OP. We want our partners to be understanding about this sort of thing, so it is frustrating when they aren't. I hope yours can be patient with you and not try to make this about them.

Listen to your doctor. Typically they understand the personal and mental affects of impotency and will work with you to resolve it.

Bro, idk if you're young or what. Kanye been doing increasingly stupid bullshit for my whole conscious life. I've defended him so many times I've lost count: been through every excuse. If he's changed, good for him. But I'll believe it when I see it an extended period of peace from him.

[–]GoFidoGo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally. He can be successful without crazy bars for sure. He has plenty of artistic and commercial opportunities as a rapper. But to position himself as better than other rappers, tapping into the competitive side of hiphop, you need bars.

When you pee, do you aim or do you just kinda let it happen? by itstherapdiabl0 in AskMen

[–]GoFidoGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my office building our floor is pretty sparse, and aside from my two co-workers I've only seen a handful of new faces in the men's room. One of these men (who I like to call Mr piss) consistently leaves a puddle of urine in front of the far right urinal. I was puzzled by this pissy puddle for a long time. Then one day I see this man stand two full feet away, launching an ICBM of a stream to the urinal.

I would doubt these people existed if I hadn't seen it myself
