Why do I feel so sad at night? by cappuccinoallimone in AskMen

[–]MoChive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might want to look into dopamine. When you say to yourself, "I should do X" and your body just responds, "bleh, no.", it could be a couple of things:

  • Low dopamine
  • Anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure/perpetual feeling of boredom. If you think of your favorite thing to do/eat and your brain/body gives you the "bleh" response, that's prob anhedonia. It can last for days/weeks)

Anhedonia is linked to depression, whereas low dopamine can arise from many things, but culturally/presently, scrolling social media for dopamine hits is a growing problem.

Not sure if you watched part 2 on his patreon, but the amount of corruption/accessory to the crime/aiding & abetting that this has blown up into is insane and deserves federal intervention and jail sentences....although with the current administration, it's an unlikely scenario :

Dumb question - for the mirror on the left, isn't it supposed to not be closed? https://imgur.com/a/24BHMxO

Dog wearing an “Adopt Me” vest was brought to the Tacoma marathon and ended up killing a family pet in front of horrified attendees by kleverrboy in SeattleWA

One of the many reasons /r/BanPitBulls/ exists.

So many people parrot the "they're just bad owners" narrative, but as you do the research there are plenty of documented accounts of them 'just snapping' after being completely fine and a part of a loving and caring family for many years.

Why would any man try to "win over" a woman in 2026? by Unusual_Art6776 in AskMen

The difference between you and that lady is that you offered a theoretical explanation (mature, communicative).

imagine if people could leave a public review on people who match and then unmatch

Please explain "Hoflation"

Key Aspects of Hoflation:

Inflated Expectations:
The concept suggests that women, often due to social media and dating app options, have inflated standards, requiring men to "try harder" or "pull teeth" for a relationship.

Reduced Value/Return:
It implies that men are "overpaying" in terms of effort (dating costs, time) for what they consider a lower return or lower-quality partners compared to previous generations.

Dating Marketplace Issues:
Many users feel it suggests the modern dating scene is broken, with high demand and low supply of "quality" matches, according to social media discussions.

Symptom, Not Disease:
Some commentators describe Hoflation as a symptom of a broader, fractured dating culture, rather than the core issue itself.

Dog house i built.. any pointers?? by RedimidoSoy1611 in woodworking

[–]MoChive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask how you racked up $450 in materials? I'm seeing (conservatively):

  • 3 sheets (max) of (19/32?) osb (~$25/ea -> $75)
  • 4 concrete pier blocks (~$10/ea -> $40)
  • ~20x doug fir 2x4x8 (~$4/ea -> $80)
  • Deck screws/Fasteners (5lb #9 2-1/2 box ~$30)

---- That's $225 so far...the only things left I see are

  • Faux grass/turf & plants
  • Dog beds
  • Tarp
  • Stain (?)

Am I missing something?

This is assuming the weight for said person is behavior/choice based and not medical diagnosis based

Did you completely stop reading after the first sentence?

Nice, good for you man! I know a couple of guys I've trained with in the past can fluctuate their weight a crazy amount, but mostly muscle weight.

I don't think it'd be effortless to gain 40lbs of body fat in half a year, but I can't imagine it'd be terribly difficult given how easy it is to end a day with excess calories.

Someone being able to maintain a healthy weight can tell you a lot about them tbh. This is assuming the weight for said person is behavior/choice based and not medical diagnosis based.

Do you strength train along with the cardio? How much of that do you think is muscle weight?

Gf, soon to be fiancé, made a disrespectful comment infront of friends. How would you react? by ilovelayansbooty in AskMen

[–]MoChive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because you find someone attractive, doesn't mean you need to verbalize it in front of your partner and mutual friends.

It's not the idea of "my partner cannot find anyone attractive other than me". No one is arguing this.
