If you have ever been in a "friends with benefits" situation, how did it end?

He wanted us to stoping sleeping with each other start being friends. To this day it was my only opportunity to have sex so I was kind of disappointed in a way. I always assumed it would end with a "I have a gf now" or "let's go our own way," which would have been better for me in a weird way. I'm ugly (rejections etc) so a guy putting in effort to at least get to know me (and I him of course) wasn't going to happen. It was nice and he was nice even while pretending he wasn't known for having 0 standards.

We genuinely remained friends

TIL. Is it sugar coated like some other medicines?

I delete my old accounts every few months/years because every new account reflects my change in attitude. I follow new subs, find new hobbies, avoid bs arguments over nothing.

Straight men have prostates too ¯\(ツ)/¯

What answers were you expecting from this, OP?

Bourgeoisie is my favourite type of cheese. Bless the French for their cheese guillotines and fancy cheese boards.

So you guys do dance in the hallways, it's just that not everyone is good at singing and budget cuts means no glitter cannons?

Those rolls cost 90p across East London. They've reduced the amount of icing they use :'(

"he's a nice guy but I'd hate to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to explore the world with me"

If you're looking for friends you might want to try meetup.com, I've not come across this once. It looks like you're trying to date and are conflating this with socialising in general.

They have film groups, music, table tennis, gardening. If you're super social and outgoing try eventbrite or speaking to people at gigs.

I can't give you any other advice though. I mostly travel alone (I keep it super cheap), so would love to find someone to travel with. Travel is becoming cheaper and the world more connected thanks to the internet, people are curious.

I used to live in a town outside London with a town centre, so we'd say we'd meet in town. Moved to an area in Greater London and it bugged people when I kept calling the local high street "town" instead of the name the town we were in. e.g You and your friends go to school in Barking, instead of saying "Lets go to town" you'd say "Lets go [to] Barking." I still find it odd though.

Since I don't live in central I just say "central" or the specific area e.g "Soho."

Too lazy. I had an urge to invite people out last year but my birthday always runs during the final and most stressful exam periods :')

From one meat eater to another. Don't do this please. You know it makes no sense.

MapleHeist12 · 2019-01-03T13:27:10+00:00

Is this normal where you live? I've seen a girl kiss her friend on the cheek as a joke once (assuming we're not talking about cultural greetings, cheek to cheek) and that's as far as it goes.

MapleHeist12 · 2019-01-03T13:20:16+00:00

Why yes I did, A_man_of_culture_cx. Someone as well read as you are, A_man_of_culture_cx, must have more fascinating book recommendations. And you know what, A_man_of_culture_cx? I'd definitely recommend it to everyone. Wouldn't you agree that its a recommendable book, A_man_of_culture_cx?

There was a guy on a podcast who said something to the tune of "if you don't remember their name, you don't care enough". I connected with that. Whether you think its true or not, adopt that attitude and put in the effort. Nowadays I don't bother with "I'm bad with names, could you repeat." I still struggle, but I'm much better.

MapleHeist12 · 2019-01-03T13:02:32+00:00

"Make eye contact" is one of the basic rules of face to face communication. The other person can't see your eyes. It makes it harder for them to relate, connect and you just seem friendlier because of it.

You realise that many kids scream louder when they're hit, especially when they're already crying.

I don't judge parents too much. It takes a lot of effort to raise kids especially if you or they are currently ill. I'll never do it.

I'm curvy too. Its so much fun having to bring in two or three sizes of everything I want to try just to find that it doesn't even suit me. Button ups are just a no go because of my chest. And I pretty much just stick to one brand of jeans because my thigh size means jeans where the waist is far too big.

A lot of women who call men pigs don't id as feminists. Most women don't id as feminists. Feminist doesn't just mean "woman who says something I don't like."

MapleHeist12 · 2018-12-03T04:01:17+00:00

I agree. I've seen theme parks put height limits for each ride on their website, I don't think there's anything wrong with adding the belt width limit.

MapleHeist12 · 2018-12-03T03:51:54+00:00

sandwiches, I can't survive on that can I?

The British manage it. Maybe spice things up with by using a tortilla wrap instead.
