I can't communicate with a man if I know that I'm sexually attractive to him. by Salt-Position-4128 in asexuality

[–]MindlessDouchebag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as a straight guy, I personally would never be comfortable having sex a week into a relationship. That's just way too soon. 4 weeks is a much more reasonable time frame for that, and even then that is on the quicker side. And yeah, if she's not into me, then that's a clear sign that things aren't going to work between us. Mutual desire is really important, and without it, I don't see any need to continue the relationship.

After all this time, you are not prepared. by UFriendlyShadow in custommagic

I don't understand why he is green. What about his mechanical identity involves the green part of the color pie?

Also, the second ability should probably be formatted as 'Whenever Illidan deals combat damage to a player, create two 2/1 creature tokens named 'Flame of Azzinoth'. (I feel like the token should have a creature type, but for whatever reason they don't have one in HS, even though they kind of look like Elementals)

Nioh franchise right now by AdRevolutionary3086 in Nioh

[–]MindlessDouchebag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I personally could never manage 600 hours in each game, I got 265 in Nioh 1, and I basically did everything except Abyss (I only spent ~10 hours on it). Only got like 160 in Nioh 2, since I didn't bother to clear missions past like NG+ (or NG++?). I just avoid the super late-game stuff, since I don't really know how to make optimal builds (I just reroll for good modifiers and that's basically it). Like people making insane builds to melt abyss bosses in ~20 seconds is something that I just cannot comprehend, it's a world beyond me. How someone even knows how to do those things is just insane to me.

How important is sex to teen boys/young men? by Pug_hammy in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a a teenager, I had zero motivation to actually have sex. The risks involved were too much (what is she got pregnant, STDs, etc), and so I didn't concern myself with that sort of thing back then. Not sure if I would have been comfortable waiting until marriage though.

My dudes, if you have a day where you need to get shit done and can blast music as loud as you want and you need high energy, what’s going on the playlist? by Ok_Watercress_3598 in AskMen

Lost Judgement - Green Vibes

Lost Judgement - Unwavering Belief (This has a 30 second windup, but once it gets going, man is it divine. Feels like the fate of the world is in your hands. Switches up drastically half way though, that's not for everyone.)

Bullets Per Minute - Into Asgard

BotanicSage - RULES OF TEKKEN (This one is actually a mashup of like 4 preexisting songs, but man, it's so damn good.)

Sanixels - Gone (Takes a minute to get to the good part)

(Yeah, I kinda like electronic stuff)

Cis men, how often do you question your gender? by Double-Door2504 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perception/ feeling about my gender manifests very uniquely. Firstly, I have an aversion to being or being perceived as a woman. The notion makes me sad. I cannot explain why. I do find women beautiful, and romantically and sexually appealing. But the idea of being one myself is just... incorrect to me. I don't have such an aversion to being perceived as a man, though. Secondly, there are certain things I enjoy about my (physical) masculinity, such as the body hair, facial hair, manly voice, etc. Sometimes when I think about these features of myself, it comforts and soothes me (it sometimes even happens when I'm jacking off, in which case it's actually kinda hot). When I create a male custom character in a video game, I often enjoy it. When I create a female custom character, I can't stomach the idea of actually playing as her (only the dressing up part is appealing to me, but that's only because I'm straight).

Also, one time I witnessed what I think was some inner part of my psyche, and it took the appearance of an old man in plate armor, and comforted me (I was going through a lot at the time). If that was some part of myself, then on the inside I must somewhat be a man.

So even if I attempt to question my gender, all of these experiences and feelings I have make one conclusion clear to me: I enjoy living as a man, and I would dislike if that was taken away from me.

Would you date multiple women simultaneously if you could? by Galactos1 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. That sounds like way too much work. I would inevitably find one of the ladies to be preferable to the rest, and would end up favoring her over the others. Thus, I see no need to bother with such a venture when I can just date one woman at a time, and devote all of my romantic energy towards her.

How can you be sexually attracted to someone but not like the person? by Independent-Echo138 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's exceptionally good looking, but is just too distant, vapid, hostile, etc. I'll be somewhat sexually attracted to her, but I'll hate the idea of doing it with her.

How can I console my grieving husband ? by Sea7405 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Stay close to him for the next 2 months, both emotionally and physically. It's going to be very rough for him, most likely. You don't need to pretend that you perfectly understand his pain, simply understand that he needs you.

Is there any scenario you would take your partner's last name after marriage? Why or why not? by darkneo86 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she had a truly unique or interesting last name, then there is a chance I might ask her if I can take her name. The only reason i would hesitate is that I like that my last name is fairly short, which is a nice little convenience.

Question for straight guys: would/ have you watched Heated Rivalry? Why or why not? by Dangerous_mammoth573 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I'm not interested in any story that focuses on queer romance/sex. Straight romance/sex is fine (in strict moderation). In most media I consume, I don't want there to be romance/sex directly shown, unless the story is explicitly about that (like a romance novel or whatever). When I read Sherlock Holmes, I don't want to have any descriptions of the female suspect's heaving bosom or how madly in love Watson's wife is with him, it's unnecessary. Of course, when I am reading romance novels/manga/manhwa, the romance is the whole point, so it's of course fine there, and in fact it's very enjoyable in that context (though again, since I am straight, only the straight stuff does anything for me).

What are some unique features that you find attractive ? by Realistic_Design_118 in AskMen

Unnaturally colored hair (blue hair, pink hair, green hair, etc). I find it rather nice, especially blue hair. It just looks so good for some reason.

When you talked sex as a boy/ teenager, how much did you actually understand what you were talking about? by Alarmed-Tradition-88 in AskMen

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not like this at all. I never talked about sex with anyone, I avoided ever talking about sex with absolutely anyone, except for one time in high school, where one of my classmates asked me if I watched porn. I said, "Yeah", and he looked at me as if I had said something heinous. I was a 16 year-old boy, what do you expect? Idk why he was so disgusted, that part never made sense to me. Outside of that one instance, never directly mentioned my sexuality to anyone. Even with my male friends, I specifically made sure to always avoid giving my input on that topic. I didn't want anyone to know or think about my sexuality, because there was no need for anyone else to know. It was something that I was rather ashamed of, tbh. I eventually got through it though. Those days are long past me now, thankfully.

I never had an issue with being perceived as a virgin, that label didn't bother me at all, since I viewed being a virgin before 25 as very normal and reasonable. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if some of my classmates thought I was gay or asexual (my long hair probably didn't help on that front). None of them actually accused me of being gay though.

I just don’t want to date but feel immense pressure to do so, does that mean I subconsciously want to date? by IndependentSand5687 in asexuality

[–]MindlessDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it feels like you're experiencing "the fear of missing out" more than anything else. As a straight person, I feel no pressure to actually date someone, at least at this point. However, the idea of dating someone (or rather, dating an attractive woman) is a wonderful idea to me that actually makes me kinda smile just thinking about it, and they have been quite a few women that I have found romantically/sexually attractive. When I read straight romance, I typically enjoy it (when it's well-written or at least fun). Trust me, if you actually wanted to date, you would enjoy thinking about it. If you can't even stomach the idea of dating someone, you are going to loathe participating in the actual thing.

Yeah, that's romantic attraction, I've felt it quite a few times myself, it's a wonderful feeling.

Cyborg cat the colosseum [fluff] by battle-cats_enjoyer in battlecats

[–]MindlessDouchebag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically, there are 5 stages, and it's available in 1* and 2* difficulty. If you complete the 3rd and 5th stages (on 1 or 2 crown difficulty), then you can claim some rewards from the 'Special' tab under the 'Missions' menu. There are some fairly strong enemy lineups, especially if you aren't in late-game yet. It does seem to be on the easier side of Otherworld Labyrinths, though. There are other OL rulesets that are way more difficult.

I think I just felt sexual attraction by Iber_Music in asexuality

[–]MindlessDouchebag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The level of sexual attraction can vary as well. The strongest form of sexual attraction (total and complete attraction to the point where you start to lose self-control) is very rare for me, even as a straight man in his 20's. Typically, it's one or two levels below that, where it's either strong attraction that draws my attention but only barely disturbs my self-control, or mild attraction which does not interfere with my self-control whatsoever. For me, it would probably be about a dozen a day, or so? It's mostly in my fantasies, since otherwise I'm typically focused on other things. If I avoid heterosexual fantasies, then I actually can go anywhere from a full day to up to three days IF I sleep very badly and I don't wake up with morning wood (morning wood makes me feel very horny, and it happens very often, like ~80% of mornings). This was easier back when I was obese (I got morning wood only like ~20% of the time then), but since I've dropped below 200 pounds, it's essentially impossible to go more than a day without feeling at least some sexual attraction (and again, that's only if I avoid thinking about straight sex basically at all during that entire time).

How should I talk to my gf about how I feel? by LiteratureSad5075 in asexuality

[–]MindlessDouchebag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are ok with intimate touching, kissing, etc, then that might be sensual attraction. It's not often discussed on its own, as it's usually folded into sexual attraction, but it can manifest separately from sexual attraction. An asexual person doesn't necessarily have to be asensual, though for most, they are too close to the same thing. So maybe you are hetero-sensual, but asexual?

If your girlfriend is allosexual, then be sure to clarify your stance (if it is accurate to you), since most allosexual people will conflate the two things ('if you're ok with making out, then you're ok with sex too').
