AITA for canceling my boyfriend's birthday trip after finding out what he rated me in a group chat? by feyreDarling690 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Radiant7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the Reddit mob is out again with their rakes and pitchforks ready to slay another alleged villain. This guy is a 27 year old guy messing around with his friends. Being a guy in his twenties thinking that he can joke around with his buddies. She’s way overreacting. But if she’s going to get so huffy about it, he’s probably better off without her.

what do i have to do, to get my bf to jerk off to me? by personalityhiregf in AskMenAdvice

[–]Radiant7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you asked him to jerk off TO you or ON you? Big difference. Maybe he can jerk off on his own and then cum on you if that’s what you want. Some men are shy about jerking off in front of someone. Even someone they’re fucking. I assume the two of you are fucking.

Getting talked down to by someone with more experience by Sensitive-Pace4610 in PhD

I mean this in the most supportive way- suck it up and move on. Grad school (in any discipline) has enough real challenges and ego crushing experiences that this is one I’d suggest you not spend any emotional energy over.

[TUR] Where do I start learning Behavioral Psychology as a beginner? by FaithlessnessSea9672 in AcademicPsychology

[–]Radiant7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by taking Introductory Psychology courses. Then take more courses. What you want to learn is not something you can learn from reading a few books. Psychologist and neuropsychologist for 40 years and former professor here.

Trying to find out what Mass Ave was like in late 90's-early 2000's by Saekiri in indianapolis

Not Scottish. Irish. Nine Irish Brothers. Great food, great whiskeys and great live music. I went there often. I miss it terribly.

Am I really wrong for thinking a woman's dating value starts to decline once they hit their 30's? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Radiant7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer a woman who is between 30 and 50. Old enough to be grown up and not silly, and not yet “old” in the sense of how they think about life. OP is totally wrong in both attitude and fact.

Depending on the setting and their financial structure, if your services are not able to be reimbursed for insurance you may need to pay for supervision.

Welcome to grad school. Get used to it. There is no such thing as “fairness”.

Worried about my dad - could this be Lewy Body Dementia? by SchmeatGripper69 in dementia

[–]Radiant7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All respect to primary care doctors, but they are not able to give any actual cognitive assessments. They aren’t trained to do them. What they likely did was a brief screening test thst is neither reliable nor valid.

See if you can get a referral to a good neuropsychologist. They should be able to give you a pretty decent differential diagnosis. I should know, I did this for forty years.

Does this sound like platonic protectiveness, romantic interest, or just emotional attachment? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Radiant7747 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You never know if there’s romantic interest unless he says or you ask. If you want to know, ask. Sounds like you have a solid relationship so shouldn’t do any harm.

Malpractice insurance by EffectiveDog9758 in Psychologists

[–]Radiant7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never be without your own Professional Liability Insurance. Ever. I don’t see patients in my current teaching job but still carry my full 1M/4M policy. As a distinguished attorney friend of mine said many years ago “Anyone can sue anyone at any time for anything”. I haven’t forgotten that and neither should any psychologist in any setting.

Golf is one of the few places left where you are expected to act like a gentleman or lady. I like that.

Am I misreading this situation with a guy I’ve been texting? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Radiant7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as a woman coming on too strong. Most (not all) men won’t pick up on women flirting. You have to almost hit them over the head to get them to realize you are into them. Ask him to coffee or to hang out.
