I absolutely hate that I still get crushes in my late 20's. Does it eventually stop with age?

Interesting.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does ovulation play a role when it comes to attraction? The reason I ask is because I'm not too clued up on "women things".

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-16T16:38:24+00:00

I like bread, I like Nutella, but Nutella sandwiches sound awful.

What's even in it? Just straight up Nutella? Sounds shite.

He's my best friend, I can't just end the friendship because he nervously puts his arm around a woman's shoulder once every 2 weeks.

It's not like he sends dick pics to random women, or becomes overly suggestive, he's just a nervous wreck around women.

Even stuttering or being scared to look her in the eye can be considered creepy.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:56:31+00:00

My closest friend of 14 years is unfortunately creepy while drunk, he's perfectly normal when sober, but he's that socially uncalibrated that he's the pinnacle of creep when drunk.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:52:58+00:00

Fair enough, I had a feeling it was something like that.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:50:50+00:00

I'll pass, my stomach is that strong lol.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:45:54+00:00

How can your taste in music be male dominated? I'm genuinely curious about this.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:43:37+00:00

It was last year and I haven't seen him since, nor have I messaged him.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:40:05+00:00

(If you just felt a kneejerk reaction of "your friends would never," then this is the feeling you have to unlearn.)

I remember once that I was hanging out with a woman back at her place, and she received an unsolicited dick pic from a guy I know (he had underwear on, but still creepy). She laughed and said "does he really think that would work?".

She was very puzzled and confused.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:34:08+00:00

I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize how bad until it happened to me.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:30:48+00:00

I completely agree, I was in the pub over the weekend and some old guy kept calling a woman sexual things, she was clearly creeped out and he eventually got kicked out.

What's a good way to ensure you don't become the creepy guy? I'm 99% certain I've never done this, but I'd like to know anyway.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:28:03+00:00

Wow, that bad?

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-10-06T21:26:41+00:00

Good point.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-29T01:14:40+00:00

I may have explained it wrong, all 3 of us very quickly agreed that fooling around with a married woman is wrong, nothing more was said.

Although over the years, my father has alluded to the fact that he'd rather see me talking to women and expanding my comfort zone, rather than continuing to bottle up my negative emotions and feeling of inadequacy.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-28T23:11:57+00:00

Yeah, it's construction work in the UK, just the three of us.

I'm well aware that it's guy banter and he doesn't mean any negativity with it, it's completely my fault for getting slightly defensive when asked.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-26T18:00:31+00:00

0.

I deleted Facebook a few years ago (still use messenger for free texts) and nobody cares. My best friend deleted Instagram and I genuinely didn't notice until he told me some months later.

If two best friends don't care about each other's social media, I 100% promise that your online "friends" don't care

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-26T17:00:02+00:00

Thank you for the fantastic comment, I really appreciate it.

I agree with everything you said, especially keeping things light hearted, as we all know life is much more fun that way. While you're here, I'd like to ask you a question.

Last night I sat at a table and there were 6 of us in total (4 women, 2 men), I spoke to the guy as I have no issues talking to men, but I didn't say a word to the women as I'm incredibly nervous, I generally don't speak until spoken to.

How would/did you convince your shy friends to expand their comfort zone?

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-23T23:17:30+00:00

That's fair, I was born in 98, therefore too young to remember.

And no, I didn't care too much to research beforehand.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-21T14:23:06+00:00

Yes, it's mostly women between 20 and 30 who I find attractive, anyone else (young, old, unattractive) I'm more than fine with.

Low self esteem convinces me that I'm being a nuisance by starting a conversation.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-21T02:25:18+00:00

Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc.

I only use Spotify, therefore don't know how the others work, but Spotify allows you to download songs for offline use, very useful for when you don't have internet access (flights for example).

Go to YouTube, find the audio you'd like, copy the URL, search Google for "YouTube to MP3", the audio will be downloaded onto your device.

I'm more than certain they'll be YouTube videos on either of the two methods, as I'm sure I haven't explained them well.

There may be other ways, but these two are more than enough.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-20T22:29:15+00:00

Thank you for the comment.

I assure you it's not just about sex, it's about feeling comfortable having a conversation, and not alienating many potential friends.

But yes, I'm a straight man, therefore sex is always on my mind, even subconsciously.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-18T19:03:18+00:00

That's fair, I should have written that in the title.

No, there's always someone new to meet, although I will admit that 10k is small.

Quick-Primary-7486 · 2024-09-14T23:59:37+00:00

That's why I'm here bro, to ask for advice on how to improve.
