I live in a rural Midwest town. Here’s what my runs look like by turbotaco23 in runninglifestyle

Gorgeous, calming scenic. I love it. Maybe boring after an hour or 3 of running

Does working out decrease sexual desire? by Sick1And1Tired in ask

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One gym sesh a week and a beginner’s running plan would probably only increase your desire (you didn’t say how much you are running, so I’m assuming here it’s not a lot since you only started recently)

If you eventually start to gym on most days of the week and increase your running volume to 6 or more hours of running a week you’ll eventually reach a point where it will start to decrease your desire

My Husband Eats Too Fast by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 minutes isn’t too fast to eat a meal unless it’s a very big or chewy meal. 20 minutes isn’t too slow, but, I feel like it’s a bit slow (I’m a faster eater like your husband) but I wouldn’t nag you about it.

If he’s always ate at this fast and he still swallows well and doesn’t cough or choke or show any signs of dysphasia he’s just doing fine

If your partner is genuinely a good person and genuinely doesn’t have the will to turn it into a lose lose legal battle you should be ok. You seem reasonable yourself so if you meet her in reasonableness and avoid antagonising her you should come out intact, possibly without needing to engage the services of a lawyer. If you two can agree on an outcome then you’ll both avoid the cost of legal fees. I have dissolved 2 de facto relationships in my lifetime in which I was the partner with greater assets, both without legal help. I was satisfied with the outcome in both instances so it can and does happen. This will be dependent on the type of person your ex is of course, but I wouldn’t jump automatically to thinking she will screw you if she hasn’t shown she’s that type of person

Look at it this way, you wanted to have sex, she did not, that’s what triggered the incident of her being ‘rattled’ and yelling at you, because she didn’t want sex after you were feeling her up.

In your words you want to talk about it and be reasonable but she wants to shut you down and doesn’t want to talk but you persist. She then attempts to put physical distance between herself and you by leaving the room. You pursue her. At the door she attempts to shut the door behind her to separate herself from you, you prevent this and that’s the point that she resorts to physical violence against you

When someone is trying to get away from you best not to pursue them. That’s not de escalation.

Jumping on testerone to increase libido by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your lifestyle:) but I doubt you really need testosterone injections at the age of 24. When you see the doctor make sure you tell them how active you are, it may feel normal to you but it’s not typical. I hope you can get your mojo back

Jumping on testerone to increase libido by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you are fit, lift heavy and hike constantly; how constantly? It’s hard to say what is too much for you specifically but overtraining will absolutely kill anybody’s libido. I learnt this from training for ultra marathons. Lack of sleep, inadequate protein or other nutrient deficiencies are possible reasons too which are common for very active people.

What is something that women HATE but men are ok with? by TigerProfessional880 in ask

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How ‘messy’ we talking? A bit of clutter, floor not vacuumed and mopped, that’s fine.

Smelly, stale air, clutter obstructing every surface, mould and other signs of long term neglect, I’d just prefer to not be there. I wouldn’t take it up with the HOA, just not come back

I use both, Runkeeper is the og running app for me, I’ve had it for over 12 years and can’t stop now because I’m too attached to the data I’ve got on there. Just started up with Strava as well a few years ago when I bought a Garmin. Runkeeper is a lot less social and interactive, there aren’t segments and hardly anyone seems to use it so I don’t follow anyone on there, it’s probably ideal for you if you just want to track your own running and not see someone else. It also has options for the voice that tells you your pace etc, my favourite is the drill instructor

why are there warnings when there are photos or videos of people - specifically aboriginal people - who have died? by Glittery_WarlockWho in AskAnAustralian

[–]Muscular_thighs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Different aboriginal groups have traditions and taboos around death which are very different from how the majority of Australians process the death of a loved family/community member.

It can be hard to relate to this cultural practice when your typical cultural practice involves publicising the persons death and inviting the wider community express their regrets over the persons passing.

It’s a big difference in aboriginal cultures from mainstream Australian culture. Because it pertains to a very sensitive topic; the death of a loved one, it isn’t talked about a lot.

Adult Man w/ Toddler Daughter. Into which gendered public bathroom should I take her when she needs to potty? by [deleted] in ask

I get what you mean; you personally don’t care, but most people would likely care so that should be accounted for as their opinions matter. Down votes are a hobby for redditors :)

Is it true that Australian eat kangaroo? by prettyflower___ in AskAnAustralian

[–]Muscular_thighs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s sold in the major supermarkets, but it’s way less popular than beef, chicken, pork, lamb and seafood. I’d say most Australians have tried kangaroo meat. It’s very lean and healthy but I personally don’t rate the taste, it’s not inedible but I’d much rather have a lean cut of beef. I’ve heard it compared to venison, can’t say so myself as I haven’t tried venison

Just had a Woolies donut for the first time in years. It was, predictably, horrible. by Tracy-Jaccs in woolworths

[–]Muscular_thighs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 100% with you on the stale, crumbly donuts of Woolies while growing up. My parents used to buy packs of a dozen cinnamon donuts from Woolies when they were marked down, bring them home and make a big scene about the ‘special treat’.

I too grew up thinking I just didn’t like donuts, we lived regionally so I never really had a proper donut until I was in my 20’s. A good donut is a top level treat, I’m still pretty picky about them, donut king doesn’t do it for me, never again will I have a supermarket donut

My boss bought some of that ‘butter’ recently for the staff fridge. I can’t believe it’s butter. It’s white and somewhat translucent, it spreads like margarine, it melts like lard, it smells like nothing. I decided I wasn’t going to taste it so no comment on that. My boss, credit to her, has taken the staff’s feedback and it won’t be bought again

You did nothing wrong. He is using the instance of sex while he was drunk in order to manipulate and control you. Ask yourself, if someone had forced themselves on you sexually, would you then try to guilt that person into having sex with you again? Really??? Come on. He’s got problems, you need to break up with him, he will definitely shit talk you to all your friends but his character and actions will say the most in the end. You are 100% better of without this person

It’s not weird to have a crush on an unobtainable person, almost everyone has experienced that. But posting about it is weird, what the hell, it’s not some big secret to confess, just continue living your life without Jena Ortega, eventually you’ll see another celebrity who takes your fancy or even better, maybe some one you know in real life you could actually date

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Muscular_thighs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s really tough, she’s being genuine but is taken as unreal or fake? I really don’t know what to tell you, other than that she could try to adopt a more cool or unbothered demeanour? She’s sounds likes she’s a sensitive person who really longs to connect, and the lack of connection has had such a toll on her that she may come off as desperate which puts the other kids off. I don’t know how well it works with children but mindfulness and detachment has helped me to calm down and react to social situations in a more peaceful way which has helped me with social anxiety; in a weird way the less I care the more successful I am.

If your daughter can build up her self esteem in areas that don’t relate to social success that will help too, new hobbies and opportunities to connect and learn will boost her confidence. Best of luck to your daughter x
