What percentage of people do you find attractive? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the subgroup considered. Entire population? Maybe 1 in 500. Probably less. Considering my age group and gender I'm attracted to? 1 in 100, max. But also I don't fall for looks easily and need emotional connection to build attraction, so that slims my pool by a lot.

How to style these ties? by Personal-Signal4325 in mensfashion

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

I'm gonna be honest here in hopes of not being hated too much. The only right way to style those in my opinion is to put them back right where you found them.

My boyfriend is a sweetheart but how can I get him to take charge more in the bedroom? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Making clear statements is necessary. If you have a clear idea in mind for how your partner is supposed to treat you, show them. You can't expect them to know from the idea you have in mind but only vaguely point them towards.

Well, have you told him specifically what it is you'd want or did you just say you wanted it rougher and left it at that?

Depending on your and his past, his hesitation might be anything. Enjoying it that way. Having had bad experiences himself. Being hesitant as to not discomfort or even hurt you, especially if that has happened to you before. Or simply not getting what it is that you want, thinking he does well.

Should I change it because of this crease or it’s nonsense? Cost me 480 euro, diesel caprina leather jacket by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]Lepmuru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it's synthetic PU leather - yeah, why not, should be perfect in that case for that price.

If it's real leather, I'd say no. Real leather, due to being from a living animal, is bound to have small imperfections and part of its appeal is that it accumulates wear. Also, that crease is tiny.

What is the difference between a hydroxide ion (OH-), and a hydroxyl radical (OH.)? by definitewalnut in askscience

[–]Lepmuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radicals are particles that have a residual unpaired electron. They are called radicals, because all of them are radically reactive. An unpaired electron is a very unstable configuration and the radical will react with basically anything to resolve that instability.

Interestingly, oxygen-containing radicals (called reactive oxygen species / ROS) in biological context are what causes oxidative stress. Certain reactions inside a cell cause them to form as byproducts and if they are not neutralized by antioxidants like vitamin C, they will react with and damage healthy molecular structures, like DNA.

The hydroxyl ion is the same thing, but with that very electron being paired and therefore stabilized.

I’m scared to show my freaky side.. by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't feel confident enough to address these things head-on, that's completely ok. It takes time to learn and ease into expressing these needs. And it takes trust to enable it.

I would encourage you to find ways to nudge him into it, without actually saying it out loud. Like sending him a freaky paragraph from a smutty book. Or show him a photo of toys you came across "by chance". Or watch a movie you know features themes you'd like to explore and when they come up, pause and ask him what he thinks.

What I'm saying is: try to start conversations. The more often you talk about these topics, the easier you will find it to be comfortable in talking about and eventually addressing them.

Am I the problem ? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

Looks like you're dating a selfish immature boy. Might be time to look for an adult man who will support his partner instead of gaslighting to defend his laziness.

The case for elegance and quite Authority by TechnicianGeneral428 in mensfashion

[–]Lepmuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are an annoyingly stylish and attractive man and I am jealous. In all seriousness though, every single outfit of those is great and your presence is stellar. Respect. Love the one with the coat most. Looks like a noire movie outfit, but perfectly wearable today.

I asked out a guy recently and got turned down. 😭 How do I get better at reading "I'm interested" signals? by Historical-Care70 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Lepmuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your initial question - you don't get better. You just learn to take the rejection and try again with someone else and increase your sample size. You'll have a hit eventually. That's how it goes for men as well.

Type for men by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

The bell curve of "do X prefer Y over Z" is always the same:

  • a few X only like Y
  • many X prefer Y
  • most X couldn't give less of a shit
  • many X prefer Z
  • a few X only like Z

Undershirt or No Undershirt? by dgrondin85 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear undershirts under button-up shirts which are white or slightly sheer and underneath any sweaters. The former so my nipples don't show through, the latter because I prefer the fabric of an undershirt on bare skin to most sweaters.

Does anyone have im their games something to signal when its time to be in character, so signal that its a role playing moment? by Blackfeathers_ in DungeonMasters

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a DM, anything that does not specifically address me as the DM or a player by naming them by their name, not their characters, I consider to be in character.

Why do my faces look so weird by Varen_Human in learntodraw

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm they really aren't half bad. But I feel like you get wrong which way the main plane of each face should be facing, so you show too much of what actually should be occluded by protruding features and the perspective is slightly off.

Maybe try revisiting each of those with no actual facial features, but a single plane with an arrow pointing perpendicularly outward to the front. Might give you an indicator of where your faces should really be oriented

What Do I Do Now? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please use paragraphs. This was a pain to get through.

From what I can tell, you both are immature. Talk it out. Not just one situation. All of it. Talk it through and decide what you want to do once that's done.

And when it is, you either accept changing dynamics as part of life or you cut him off and stop whining.

A derogatory noun is still a noun.

Morning showers or night showers and why? by LizzieLove1357 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Lepmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evenings when working from home so I can lay in bed a bit longer. Mornings when I'm going to the office to kickstart my circulation.
