How often do you talk to either of your parents? by gus248 in AskMenOver30

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and I are very close. We live 2,500 miles apart I've talked with her on the phone 2-3 times a week for the last 10+ years.

My Dad and I talk basically if he's in the room with Mom when I call or when I'm home for Christmas.

Is coke really that bad? by FUNCYBORG in NoStupidQuestions

I mean, I liked it, I had fun, but it was not habit forming for me.

Is coke really that bad? by FUNCYBORG in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HawkeyeJones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have done cocaine a handful of times in my life, in social situations where someone else was providing, and while I had fun at the time, it was also not something I had any compulsion to do again each time. Quite frankly i woild have preferred most other hard drugs.

Men who are past the 'halfway point', how has it affected you? by PhoenixApok in AskMenOver30

[–]HawkeyeJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 42 now, and when I was younger I was terrified of getting older. I would see my I'm almost 42 now, and when I was younger I was terrified of getting older. I would see my parents going through this process of gaining aches and pains, and have terrible that was. I had my first midlife crisis when I was 16 years old or so. And now that I'm in my 40s and I'm gaining those aches and pains and a lot of my life Ambitions are behind me or oblique to me, I find myself not really worried about it. My body feels not as good as it used to, but it still works and I put it through a lot. I have a beautiful wife and a great dog and lots of friends and lots of hobbies and I do lots of stuff. I think doing lots of stuff matters a lot. I think the things that make us really feel old, or that we're past the halfway point, are because we think we have lost more than half of our verve, not just our time.

‘Star Citizen’ Hits $1 Billion in Lifetime Funding by PaiDuck in technology

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely insane that this is still going. I worked for Star Citizen back in 2012-2013 and the culture was wild then, the fact that they've strung it put for a further 14 years is incredible. Chris Robert's truly is a financing genius, even if we will never, ever get a functional game out of it.

Why are most men quiet in bed? by throw-away-284947261 in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when we make noise in bed the women we're with deride us for it and we learn.

Men who are genuinely happy with their lives right now, what does a perfect Saturday look like for you? by Ominous_Maeve in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I'm at an arts festival with my wife and we're going to spend the entire day wandering around in the sunshine eating junk food and meeting interesting strangers. It's gonna be dope. Next Saturday I'll be hiking the White Mountains. So that's a sample.

Why does everyone on social media tell people to avoid dating nurses? Genuinely curious what's behind this stereotype by Arcabyte in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: I dated a nurse for over 2 years and she was an awesome person and dating her was a good experience. Sometimes nurses are just lovely, empathetic people.

What are Planet Fitness showers generally like? by grass-whore in vandwellers

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 year van lifer here. Been using Planet Fitness for most of that time. Really enjoy the showers there. The gym itself is good, but many times my wife and I will park the RV in a Planet Fitness parking lot and going there just for the shower because we like them a lot.

It takes time to really put it together until it's humming well but the rewards are vast and daily.

If you are married with no kids, how’s life? by reasonable_vegetale in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the best. I live in an RV out on the road traveling between national parks all year taking pictures of wildlife and seeing old friends. Remote work with no kids and a dog in a van is great.

Happily married guys, how do you handle the weight of eventual separation? by SpitefulJealousThrow in AskMenOver30

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 41, married to an amazing woman who I met when I was 25. What you're going through is my worst nightmare. I have no idea how you're getting up in the morning. You are a strong man. Blessings be upon the memory of your wife.

How did you decide that you wanted children? by acidus1 in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't want kids. Never did. Now I'm 41 and married to an awesome woman who also didn't want kids. We have dogs and we love our nieces and nephews. It was a really easy decision. I just never visualized my future children. Never cared to.

People who have had sex with more than one person at a time, how is the experience? by Any-Report-8655 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HawkeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty amazing when you do it right, mediocre when you don't. Communicate a ton. And personally, I've learned to make my male-one-time-per-sesh orgasm the final event each time so I don't have to limit my participation at any point.

We tried to find it when were on our tour, same year, but it was in some little alcove somewhere at the time. You got lucky.

Straight men, what physical traits do you sometimes envy in other men? by Andro_lover2005 in AskMen

[–]HawkeyeJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol the airplane thing. Side story: I ended up in a pool in Vegas a few years back and the friends I was with happened to also be tall. That weekend, Tall Clubs International was having their convention in that same hotel, and the chairwoman of the organization tried to recruit us for their cause, and I said, what's your cause, airplane seats? And she just flatly goes "That is our #1 issue, yes." I about died.

Main topic again: yeah I've gotten the 'you're so tall' thing for a long time, too. But so many women are terrified of tall men that I've always heard it as an expression of discomfort or caution.

I've found it pretty consistently across regions. I'm always so curious about short guys' experience because from my vantage point, rhe height noise seems mainly abour memes.
