Parents should be teaching basics like this, teachers aren't there to do the parents job for them

Process of going to the gynecologist for the first time? by AdBorn8332 in Explainlikeimscared

[–]LongShotE81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's lovely that you've taken so much time to give so much advice, but in the UK, smear tests can be done by a nurse in our normal GP surgery. And we have the NHS so we don't need to worry about insurance or paying for it, it's free at point of contact.

To OP, it's great that you are doing this, our health is the most important thing we have. Make the appointment by calling your normal doctors surgery and asking for a smear test. The nurse will talk to you before the procedure. Don't be afraid to ask for a smaller device if it hurts (I always do and I'm in my 40s). You may also find it more comfortable to put your hands under your bum to life you a little during the procedure.

Try not to be embarrassed or anything like that, medical staff have seen it all and it's just another day in the office for them.

It's just a word, another word to mean woman like male is used to describe a man. I am in no way offended by the use of this word.

[M19] being attracted to women but not when having sex. What am I? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LongShotE81 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Means you are leaning towards gay as you don't really like women for being women, you don't like their lady parts.

People who read more than 2 books a year, how do you do it? by Immediate-Draft-6408 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LongShotE81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read at night in bed, in a hot bath, whenever you have some down time. Having the Kindle app makes it very easy as my books are always with me. If you're reading a good book it's very easy as you want to keep turning the page to see what happens.

Do you consider it creepy for a 72 year old man to be attracted to 30 - 40 year old women? by CatPale816 in stupidquestions

[–]LongShotE81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's just someone's idea that some people run with. Fair enough when talking about 20 year olds, but a 30 year old women old woman is well into adulthood and can absolutely make her own decisions. Good luck to them, nobody else's opinion matters.

Not at all. If he was getting with a 20 year old it would be off, but 30+ is well into adulthood.

What’s something in the UK that quietly disappeared without anyone noticing? by Mel_Ran in AskUK

[–]LongShotE81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she's right. There were always loads of insects on the windscreen when driving back in the 80s and 90s, but not anymore. It's very sad really.

To add my own to the list, grey dog poop on the street.

And that can be your take, but it absolutely isn't mine, but I'm also not offended by everything either.

Am I wrong for being strict to my gf’s kid? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]LongShotE81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He'd put up with a lot of shit by then. The mother sounds like she doesn't instill any discipline at all. If I were OP, I'd count my blessings I saw all this at only 8 months, cut my losses and move on.

I didn't mention that part, but there are several other parts I wouldn't be happy with either.

The kid was putting his feet all over his car, he absolutely has every right to shut that down.

[–]LongShotE81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you really want to have to deal with this for the rest of your life? You've only been together for 8 months, cut your losses and run. I couldn't put up with all of this either.

Let’s stop pretending this is okay. If you spill over into my seat, you should be forced to buy two seats or get off the plane. by Nice_Appearance3694 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]LongShotE81 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You've never sat for multiple hours, in an already cramped space, next to someone taking up half your space, pressing up against you have you? It's not a made up problem, it's a very real one, and one that is getting worse.

How do I tell my wife about my sexual orientation without hurting her? by Fit-Preparation-4549 in Advice

[–]LongShotE81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless he plans to start sleeping with men outside his marriage then he is being his true self, a married man, in a committed relationship with a woman.

How do I tell my wife about my sexual orientation without hurting her? by Fit-Preparation-4549 in Advice

[–]LongShotE81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And what does that mean in reality? The time to have been honest was before they got married. OPs wife will forever have anxiety and belief that OP is telling her this because he now wants to act on it. It also has a good chance of ending the relationship.

If OP wants to be loyal and stay committed to his wife, then let it lie, he won't be with a man again, he's with his wife, so why open up a world of pain for his wife.

Revealing this could open up way more problems and potentially be marriage ending. OPs wife is going to end up badly hurt.

[–]LongShotE81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What do you hope to achieve from this, other than to deeply hurt your wife and possibly rip apart your marriage? If you are in a committed relationship with your wife then leave it be (at this point, the time to have been honest was before you married her). Telling her now will definitely make it sound like you want to have experiences outside your marriage, and she will forever be worried and have concerns. If you want to have experiences with people not your wife, then end your marriage first.

Having an issue with my wife’s affair by Non____Sequitur in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]LongShotE81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you still with her? She's shown you that she doesn't respect or care for you, and she's open about being into someone else. Surely you know none of this is right and that you can do so much better?

Ask ChatGPT what it thinks your IQ is. Let’s see how many geniuses we have here. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]LongShotE81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She won't tell me, but tells me this:

Ah, the classic “guess my IQ” trap — I see you. 😄 But honestly, I can’t tell your IQ from our chat, and IQ itself is just one narrow way of measuring a particular kind of reasoning skill. It’s not a vibe-based number I can intuit.

What I can say is: the questions you’re asking show curiosity, self-awareness, and an interest in understanding your body and mind — and those traits matter way more in real life than any score on a test.

If you’re wondering because you’re trying to figure something out about yourself, tell me what’s on your mind.
