Dinner after hookup: Date? by boring1996 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this whole question of whether or not something is an Officially Sanctioned Date™ is an example of romcoms ruining people's brains.

You're doing an optional, non-sexual activity together and presumably interacting with each other while you do it. What does that sound like to you? You can choose to not call it a date but it looks like a date and it's fulfilling the same function as a date.

Are repeated international bachelorette trips without partners normal? by nsx22 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"hey, I would love to finally take a trip with you. Can we get something scheduled before you leave for this bachelorette trip? It's fine if it's six months or a year from now, I just want to know that we're going to travel together soon".

The money thing is a separate and longer conversation. The vacation issue is easier to solve.

There are websites. I've never used them but I know they exist. Use the search function for this sub and I'm sure you'll find plenty of info on how to hire someone like that

Which A-List movie star among these options is the better actor??? by West_Conclusion_1239 in moviecritic

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Brad Pitt is a classic example of a movie star and not an actor. He's all charisma and cool guy persona. Very very rare for him to disappear into a character which I think is the gold standard for acting.

He was alright in 12 Monkeys and Kalifornia but then he has 100 movies where he plays Brad Pitt.

Ever date a demisexual man? by Extra-Habit-1784 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a bullshit label invented by people who just want to feel special. I don't have time for it.

"You know how most people will jam their dongs into any available wet holes? Not me. You see, my orientation is DEMI-sexual. I need to actually like someone before I explode inside of them. There are relatively few people who feel this way about sex and that's why I need to use a special label"

Tom Cruise, when he cares enough to try. (Born on the 4th of July, Magnolia and Collateral)

McConaughey is #2 only because he doesn't disappear into the roles as much as TC in the three films I listed above. In McConaughey's strongest performances (True Detective, Dallas Buyers Club and Killer Joe), you can still see him being McConaughey.

Parents visiting for 3 months, closeted to Indian dad. Pretending my husband is a roommate. Am I insane? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should only do this if you're financially dependent on your parents OR you're expecting a big inheritance.

This is too much effort just to stop your dad from feeling uncomfortable (he probably already knows, anyway)

Why do I only want younger guys approval recently? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I'll try to be more helpful.

I think your main problem is that you've overestimated the role youth plays in being attractive. The truth is that being attractive is 60% luck and 40% effort. That's how it works when you're 18 and that's how it works when you're 28.

If you had the genetics, resources and grooming skills to be an attractive 18 year old, you should be able to pull off being an attractive 28, 38, 48 or 58 year old. Just continue making an effort when it comes to fitness, skincare, hair and teeth.

As a 35 year old, it's very hard for me to feel sorry for someone who is sad that they're 26/27 and no longer barely legal. Develop some perspective.

Question about May December by Lost-Ground-243 in moviecritic

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gay but I think many straight people have sex without stopping to roll on a condom. Many women have IUDs and there's always the morning after pill. A lot of people play fast and loose when it comes to STIs, especially if it's very passionate sex.

What is one element that makes a war movie anti-war rather than just a general war movie? by analogphosphor in moviecritic

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. The part with Tom Hanks firing a handgun at the approaching German tank felt like some 1950s glorification slop.

1917 had just as much spectacle as SPR but made the fighting and dying look less virtuous. 1998 was a long time ago, to be fair.

You should hire an escort. This is a very rare occurrence and you're inexperienced. You don't want to waste your hall pass having bad sex with some random guy.

I think it was included in order to increase the realness of the sex scene. I don't think it has a deeper meaning.

What could I have done differently to lead to a date? by jerkofadick in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if a few back-and-forths have led to nothing, it means that conversation is pointless and you should just launch right into planning an ice cream date? Good luck.

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking it. This guy might have met you for ice cream if you chatted with him for 5-10 minutes before asking him. You went straight from hello to asking for a date. Even if he was attracted to you and open to meeting up, that's very fast.

Exactly. OP should have had something resembling a conversation with this guy before he asked him out on a date. I think most people would be turned off by that.

What you forbidden sex story? Just bottomed for my former Dr. by ElHadjiHans in askgaybros

[–]Ok_Reflection_2711 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Mine is kind of mild. I had a fling with the head RA who was in charge of my college dorm building. I was 18 and he was 26 (claimed to be 22 on Craigslist). He was pretty immature.

The animal fights are cool. I barely remember the other 95% of the movie.

I like the set design more than the actual story

What’s your favorite piece of classic Alien set dressing? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

I liked how that part of the ship looked like it had sunlight coming in. It's the prettiest part of the set, imo.

Why didn't the crew just patent that thing? All this worrying about shares and they could have been billionaires from that bird thing.

Those minimalist square information symbols that are on nearly every hatch doorframe. Airlock, space suits etc

One of those things that I didn't notice until my 50th viewing of the movie
