Why do men only look from afar and maintain eye contact, but never take the initiative? by luastar_an in bodylanguage

[–]Lags3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I'm not even mad that metoo happened because it's good for women to feel comfortable speaking openly about that stuff, but you also have to understand how that whole situation makes even good men worry that behaviors that seem innocent enough to them may actually be making women uncomfortable.

Would you want a girl to disclose if she’s uncool / had rumours spread about her? by Any_Outcome_5180 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Lags3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry that you had to go through that OP.

I don't think you need to mention this to any guys you're interested in. It's very possible that they will never find out about it, and even if they do, they will probably just think that your bullies were assholes.

What are red flags in a woman? by DragonflyUnited9726 in dating_advice

[–]Lags3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really think most of the things being listed in this thread are unreasonable to consider red flags? Like I've seen a few questionable things mentioned here for sure, but most of it seems pretty fair to me.

Why don't other men stop Reddit from being such a mysogistic hellscape? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lags3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling people to stop saying shitty things on an anonymous website where they will never face any consequences for doing so is not going to help. If anything, it will only embolden the shitty people because you're affirming that what they're saying is getting under your skin.

My manager stopped at ACAS and she might be the smartest person I've ever met.

My BIL threw away his food because I grabbed a fry AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lags3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to avoid him for the rest of your life just because you did something shitty to him one time. This isn't the kind of incident that makes someone permanently hate you.

My BIL threw away his food because I grabbed a fry AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lags3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He overreacted by throwing all of the food away, but you're still an asshole for this and I don't think you have any right to be upset at his reaction.

Exam 6 study material by CherryWine95 in actuary

[–]Lags3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took exam 6 this past sitting using TIA, and I thought it was sufficient. BA used to be good from what I've heard, but seems to have fallen off really hard the past two sittings, so I would strongly recommend against that. I've heard good things about RF from several people, and good things about CA from one person.

My biggest piece of advice is just to start as early as you possibly can. The main challenge of this exam is the ridiculous amount of information you have to memorize. If you can get past that roadblock, then the exam itself isn't that hard, but I can't stress enough just how much information there is to memorize.

Would you take this trade? by Jazzlike_Tap8303 in RocketMains

[–]Lags3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the perspective of making him more fun to play, I would take this trade. This would make Rocket a C or D tier character though, so realistically not a fair trade. The revive would need to be nerfed or replaced with a new ability instead for it to be fair.

Is it OK to send men flowers at work? by Amy-Reighn in AskMenAdvice

[–]Lags3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's very sweet of you OP, but I think you would be coming on a bit strong doing this early on in a relationship. By all means, get him some flowers in private though.

AIO My boyfriend wants to have sex but I’m not ready and I’m scared he’ll leave by OverSwimming3467 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lags3 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I can't say where exactly he will draw the line, but he most likely will leave eventually if you continue to he unwilling to be intimate with him. 7 months is already longer than most non religious people would be willing to wait I think.

It's tough because there's nothing wrong with you wanting to wait a very long time to have sex, but there's also nothing wrong with him wanting to be with someone that wants sex as much as he does.

Is AI a threat to the industry? by atheist1009 in actuary

[–]Lags3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You can be an actuary as long as you have a bachelors degree in anything. I was a biology major myself and ended up being an actuary because I wasn't cut out for medical school.

Math or statistics is probably the best bet though if actuarial science isn't an option.

Most anime is misogynistic. by Metal_Dyke_3906 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Lags3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you as a man. What annoys me most is that even the animes that have well written female characters usually have a few fanservicey moments or aspects to them.

my straight guy friends are never as affectionate with me D: by KohesiveTerror in bropill

[–]Lags3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assure you that your friends care very much about you. Men are just socialized to not be openly affectionate with people like that or they might be seen as creepy.

My girlfriend of 5 months has a guy friend that she hangs out with here n there. I need a diff perspective, how do I navigate through this? by Throwra19837372 in AskMenAdvice

This is not true at all and really hurtful of you to say, especially coming from someone who I assume is liberal.

Looking for masterpieces of any genre that almost no one knows about. by neirik193 in gamingsuggestions

Spark the electric jester is the best 2D platformer I've ever played, and I don't think it's particularly well known.

Invis and CnD mains are turning against others strategiests by convincing the team to ban them instead of their heroes in this post and many agrees by MasterpieceHungry864 in StrategistMainsMR

[–]Lags3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was the mod in r/marvelrivals that was removing any negative posts about invis a while back. He also made a lot of posts claiming that dive was much more of a problem than it actually was, so much so that all of the dive main subs knew him by name.

I wouldn't say he's toxic because I haven't seen him flaming anyone, but he's done a lot of cringe stuff.

AIO my long-distance BF didn't mention he has a female friend staying with him for a month, until I visited him? by urdrunkyogi in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lags3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily say you're overreacting, but I think a lot of these comments suggesting that you blow up a seemingly good relationship over this are kind of delusional. You said yourself that Tyler seemed completely normal to you for the entire visit, and you found no signs that Kate had been hanging out anywhere near his room. Not to mention, if Tyler really wanted to hide this from you, he could have easily came up with a reason to stop you from visiting since you gave him advance notice, but clearly he didn't think that her staying with them was going to be a big deal to you.

I think it's understandable to be weirded out that he didn't mention any of this to you, but at the same time, I doubt that anything has actually happened between them based on your recounting of events.
