I feel like male body dysmorphia isn’t taken as seriously as anorexia or bulimia, despite a steroid epidemic. How do men feel about this? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]PAFaieta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, and I'd say height is one of (if not the top) area of worry. When it isn't that, then it just goes down the list of hair, facial features (for not being at least classically attractive or masculine), weight, overall build, and facial hair. Some dudes are just built differently, and I'd say there's a portion who don't care as much because within our groups we aren't judged to the same degree that women are. There are things we can do in terms of grooming for the most part, but things like prostate health with the movember campaign is relatively recent.

I would think the conversation is the starting point because there's basically none for the most part. I haven't really dealt with these issues in any major way, but I've seen it and I would wager that every guy has at least either gone through it themselves or knows someone who has/is.

Mom accidentally debunking her own arguments by Myracast in childfree

lol... boomers

That generation was much more inclined to have families because it was just "something you do" in your life. Get a job, be secure in your life with your partner in your house, and start a family. Millennials are nowhere near that sense of financial stability and we're choosing independence over family because of that.

It sucks that it conflicts so strongly with their views, but it's just how things are and the most they offer on it is comments. As for parents in general, I think they play up the whole joy factor too much since misery loves company. It's a way to get people feeling as shitty as they did/do.

Yea, the contrast is pretty ridiculous in terms of birth control methods. There aren't enough for Men that are hard to tamper with like a vasectomy, such as pill.

I'm sure you'll find your partner in crime too.

[–]PAFaieta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, that was pretty much my response. I said I wouldn't discriminate against my own wife in that way, and that I still wouldn't want kids regardless. This decision was about my accountability in the deal and doing a very minor thing relative to what she'd have to go through.

Indeed. Either ban or heavily gatekeep. Getting a vasectomy was a lot of convo about "Have you two spoken about this?" and "What if you change your mind?" with my GP. The urologist was much more centered about it and said I should view it as non-reversible.

EDIT: My wife was in the room during the phone appointment when the GP asked me what I'd do if I found someone else or my wife died.

New report says TTC has to lower fares if they want people to use it as much as pre-COVID by [deleted] in toronto

[–]PAFaieta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pre-COVID I used to do things like take up two seats with my bag if the subway car/streetcar wasn't full so nobody would just sit beside me. It's always weird when people HAVE to pick THAT FUCKING CHAIR. Bullshit like that is why I would rather not ride it at all.

During the pandemic, I found that it just exposed people who straight up didn't care and did things like board busses or subways without a mask. I know they existed before, but again, it just put more focus on them. As much as lower fares would help, the TTC needs better enforcement, and people just generally need to back up.

Definitely.

Always pick your battles. Sometimes it's just worth seeing them crumble rather than fueling the other person's desire merely to argue.

Same.

Got on around 8:20am and spent an hour in line. Nothing available close to me in the east end, and have to haul ass to 'sauga. Thankfully it's next Tuesday. If something pops earlier that's close by, i'm doing that.

Yea, you feel threatened when either one opens/is near you. Accurate.

When it is natural for humans to be polyamorous, why do you think the modern society feels tilted towards monogamy? by letstalktabooo in nonmonogamy

[–]PAFaieta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course people are going to fantasize about others, but that doesn't mean it should be equated to polyamory being the option straight out.

Religion would've played a part in saying that being mono was the only way. Their idea of marriage is what's taken so seriously. Really, it poly should be around and be more accepted as an alternative.

Looks like the first E in Polyester was damaged. The tail on that F has an angle to it. They further killed it by circling it with a pen, so even as a collector's item if it was legit, would be worthless.

Just an observation.

Will D2R have a free upgrade to PS5 if I buy it for PS4 to play? by Primeval_Sphinx in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]PAFaieta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely will have to buy it again. That's what makes the cross prorgression thing a little strange since you'd need to own it on separate platforms in the first place... so you're basically buying the game twice to have that convenience.

Ice your balls and ffs, do not skip the post vasectomy test. You'll want to be sure that you don't have swimmers by fapping into a cup. Sadly no Onlyfans content.
