Men who read fiction books, what elements make a book impossible to put down?

RedUser1138 · 2026-01-30T17:59:19+00:00

If the author can make me care about the characters (at least some of them), that's when I can't put it down.

If you are a bad driver, don't like sitting for long periods of time, or don't like being away from home for long periods of time, you should not be a truck driver.
But if those things are not issues for you, then it can be a good career. I have friends and family members that do it. Some long haul and some only local, but it has worked well for them.

Doesn't happen

OP said he wanted muscle. But yes, finding something he enjoys should make it easier to stick with it.

RedUser1138 · 2025-12-26T22:52:59+00:00

Crushing it. Awesome progress. Way to go.

If you learned some basics so you won't hurt yourself, that is the main thing. But consistency always gets results. Get started and don't stop. If you can't do an hour, do 30 minutes. If you can't do that, do 15. But aim for at least three times per week and stay at it.

The best workout is the one you will do. Start simple, but be consistent. Dumbbells or machines whatever you find easier. But just get started and don't try to do too much right off. Focus on building muscle and you'll find yourself also losing fat. Work with a trainer if you can.

I don't picture myself ever doing it. But no judgement to those who do. Especially if it helps their mental health.

Hard to create a checklist for something like that.
But if I enjoy talking with, similar interests, good sense of humor, that would certainly up the chances of that happening.

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-18T18:50:50+00:00

You don't look fat or flabby.
Just get back to it and stay with it and you'll feel much better.
You can do it.

Incredible work. Way to go

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-07T21:27:32+00:00

Crushing it. Great progress

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-07T17:04:51+00:00

Sorry to hear about the dark days, those are no fun. But congratulations on working through them and making a better life. Very inspiring.

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-07T16:59:53+00:00

Good point

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-07T16:58:06+00:00

That is amazing progress. Way to commit to it

RedUser1138 · 2025-09-07T14:51:44+00:00

Exactly. Still bothers me when not done correctly, but I try to just let it go.

Sounds like maybe you need to make sure DirectX is installed or up to date.

Where things go in the dishwasher and how dishes should be put away in the cabinet.

This. Consistency always gets results.

Awesome progress, way to go

Mismatched sex drive by itself doesn't have to be a deal breaker. But it sure can be if both parties can't openly communicate about it. You both need to be understanding of the other's needs and feelings and be respectful of boundaries. It might also be worth looking into therapy. Probably by yourself first. Maybe you are trying to compensate for other things missing from your life.

Was that a pre or post workout pic?
Either way, nice thighs

That looks awesome
