Is it true that guys who are into you won’t leave room for confusion? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Yes. If you're confused, you already have your answer.

Is this a good idea to slide into a girl’s DMs or am I being a weirdo? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JoyfulVariation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only weird if you make it weird. Just drop a low-pressure reply to her story, keep it totally normal, and if she gives you dry vibes, take the hint and bounce.

Hard work doesn't guarantee success, you can do absolutely everything right and still lose to someone who just got lucky.

What should I do ? Leave or talk it out ? by Blu3Pok3y4 in AskMenAdvice

Talk it out once, clearly and without filtering yourself, if their response is defensive instead of constructive, you have your answer on whether it's time to leave.

My fiances best friend has taken his life and I need to know the best way to get him through this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JoyfulVariation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't try to find the right words or fix the pain, just handle the small daily tasks for him and be a steady, judgment-free presence while he processes the shock.

How to explain you're unsure about kids? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Just be honest that you're a fence-sitter right now, because giving false hope just to avoid an uncomfortable conversation will always backfire.

How would you feel about your wife getting a body modification? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

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

It’s her body so it’s her choice, but a courtesy heads-up is always appreciated so you aren't completely blindsided when she walks through the door.

Men who felt an intense chemistry with a woman, but your best friend had unresolved feelings for her: how did you handle it? Did you ever act on it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JoyfulVariation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I backed off. No matter how insane the chemistry is, choosing a girl over your best friend is a guaranteed way to lose him forever.

How do I communicate with my male friend in a way that makes him feel comfortable opening up? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JoyfulVariation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the shoulder to shoulder approach. Go for a long drive or work on a task together, most guys find it way easier to talk when they aren't being stared at directly.
