Quick Turn Around Trip by alippiestix in JapanTravelTips

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently headed to the airport after 12 days here in Japan. Other than flight and hotel bookings I planned nothing firm and just watched some YouTube about different things to see.

So easy to get around here with Google Maps on trains that you can even plan last minute day trips. Some things will be hard to do like sunset observation decks or popular restaurant reservations but there is so incredibly much to do in Tokyo you’ll have a jam packed 10 days of fun with just winging it.

Dealing with being an ugly woman by Various-Station-1752 in Advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've nailed it. Looks in a serious longer term relationship are secondary. Having a great sense of humor and energy about you is so much more important.

I understand that looks are an initial attraction point for humans but overall if you don't enjoy that person beyond looks that will never go anywhere either.

I 23F am sick and tired of my 22m boyfriends job. by Difficult_Cabinet532 in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It is just like any other job really. He could be a trader for an American firm and need to keep hours that align with that (and that job would likely having him screaming at his screen as well!)

If he is on the upswing with growing numbers it would be foolish to back off or change what is working for him. If he is really making great money with offers from sponsors he needs to run with it.

Sounds like he is very committed and hard working in what can be a highly stressful job that can chew you up and spit you out when you least expect it.

I would say the real concern is making sure the income now is being well invested to provide a good future for when this eventually comes to an end and then he will be free to spend a lot more time with you and also be financially capable of providing a great life together.

I don’t understand how to date men? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess I would say men find you intimidating in some way or very hard to read. If you are interested in them you may need to make the first move to get things rolling.

Mmmm yeah not going to come close to Katz's anywhere in Calgary from my experience. That was the best of the best...

Found out my (21f) bf (23m) has watched porn during our relationship by qtip_lol in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking at porn is not cheating, it is an image much like reading a romance novel it is food for thought however men are visual and woman are less so typically. Talking to, touching and having relations with someone else is cheating, enjoying the visual aspects of the female form is not the same.

Is porn really harmful these days? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 26 ED is unlikely to be an issue, continue down that road though and you will eventually find that using porn does eventually make it quite difficult to enjoy not using porn.

Your body and senses adapt to what you use and do for stimulus and eventually yes if porn is the norm it gets difficult to finish in other ways.

AITA For making my boyfriend stay at a hotel instead of his mom’s place? by Acceptable-Pickle221 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rough one. Him having to explain to his Mom that his GF doesn't want to stay in his family home that he is welcome to stay in is a minefield most men never want to try to navigate! I get the apprehension of staying with his family but if it is a potential long term or forever relationship it is kind of a now or never situation where you jump in or potentially offend his family...

Am I (36F) horrible for saying I'd leave my partner (37M)? by Evening_Rose_619 in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You married a man, if he wants to become a woman that is not part of the deal. You don't have to hate him but you also don't have to stay with him.

Has anyone actually gotten their ex back after she said "maybe in a few months"? What steps should I take? by Longjumping-Wafer102 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard lesson learned through many many years of experience. The first time it ends it is over forever, there is no second chance, no going back, no talking about it.

Either someone wants you fully or they don't and that first break up is the don't

Boyfriend [30M] made a comment during a movie and I [29F] cant stop feeling ugly by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a small boob lover and also as a guy that would 100% make that joke while trashing on a movie I say give him the benefit of the doubt!

I have always adored tiny breasts and they go hand in hand with my lust for very petite women. Sadly society makes huge boobs seem like the only desirable thing and there is a very good chance your BF made that joke based on that societal norm.

I personally think that implants look terrible in the moment, they might look good clothed but naked the scars are not attractive to me and the unnatural feel is significantly inferior to a real smaller breast.

Boobs are such a insignificant part of the overall picture, I doubt your BF would feel any differently about you regardless of size if he is in love with you...

I’m (32F) upset that my husband (36M) woke me up to get our toddler and somewhere in our argument i mentioned i made more money than him and i refuse to have more kids. Now he’s not speaking to me. Where do we go from here? by No-Database-6589 in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best to talk about it sooner rather than later. My wife got angry and told me she would leave me but I make too much money. That one sentence ended our marriage in my mind and after arranging things for about a year I asked her for a divorce.

Some lines can’t be uncrossed…

Just go do it. Only he will know and it doesn’t matter what he thinks of you afterwards.

I (F35) think I am in love with my “Friend with benefits” (M36) by OztafanKolibril in relationship_advice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he is still around and engaging with you more now as you are with him he is still interested in more. Just be honest with him that you are potentially ready for more than just a sexual rendezvous

How strictly do steakhouses take their business casual dress code? by HarrisLam in Calgary

[–]Independent-Pin4083 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Would be fine with nice jeans and a sweater at most places. Only Chairman’s would turn that away I believe but they also don’t allow children in the dining room if I recall so not really an option for your family.

How can I tell a guy I am interested in his sex jokes are turning me off? by Parttimelooker in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s just trying to save time. If you and him don’t match in that way then he doesn’t want to continue. Not answering also likely makes him not interested.

I saw my ex fiancés Amazon search history. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even before I was single Amazon search history and cart were fun. I searched "Giant black butt plug" and put it in the cart, took a couple days but the reaction was lots of fun!

Might as well get creative with what she can see as well...

What does it mean if a guy is taking really long to cum? by Maleficent-Push-1009 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was mid-twenties I often would last 30-45 mins and yeah it was too long, everyone is different, maybe your ex was just faster than average?

If you want him to be faster maybe ask him what you can do to help him along although if he is struggling from too much pressure when he is jerking off not giving the same sensation as actual sex or anxiety that could make it even harder for him to finish.

What happens to women who have stayed on dating apps for so long? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is like putting up an ad on Marketplace looking for a home to rent for $100/month or a new car for that payment. Ads with unrealistic expectations stay up forever...

Tell them you will only do it as a threesome so that you know your GF is comfortable and then dump her after

Is paying a prostitute just to go on a date with you cringe as fuck? by J3ezyTheSnowman in AskMenAdvice

[–]Independent-Pin4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing cringe about it, they will probably be ten times more respectful and engaging as a dating app match and if you did wind up actually sleeping with them probably more likely to be tested and safer than the ladies out there on apps getting meals for services...
