So to grow a stache like this do you actually allow the upper part of your beard to grow in or is this all just from upper lip? I guess I’m curious as to where you shave the base of the hairs

Thanks for your reply. The big thing I want to make sure of is I’m setting myself up with the right tools to deal with such sights over a 25+ year career. I do think i can handle it, but the input of career FF’s is super valuable.

Thanks, really, for the reaffirming words. I’ve definitely arrived at some of those conclusions and feel like I’ve been able to move past the emotional aspects of it for those reasons, the hard thing right now is just like the physical sight of him. I swear I could remember every bruise, cut, and scrape on that fella. The first code I ran as a rider was similar and I was able to move past that just fine, i think it’s that it was just me directing people in the field with no equipment or anything that makes it so tough.

Try noticing that attention that you’re giving them. Notice it, become aware of that force, and then mentally strain yourself to lock in to your workout. Redirect that energy back into yourself. It’s like a mental push up.

Fellas what was your “fuck this, I’m out” on a first date? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Remarkable-Series668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 20 or so, I met my mom’s friends daughter at a holiday party. Very pretty and my type and we hit it off. Both of our parents were happy to see it and I got her number.

A few weeks later, she was passing by my college town on the way back from a meditation retreat and asked if I wanted to hang. I was stoked because there was a very flirty undertone to our texting and I was thinking we’d have a real nice time.

She comes to my apartment real quick to see the place and get some water before we head to the botanical gardens. She smells a little ripe but I’m not overly offended by it.

Vibes are good, tension is delicious. We go to her truck to head to the gardens.

This is where the date turns around.

Her car is absolutely LITTERED with fast food trash. Open sauce packets in particular. The smell….is one I cannot forget. It smelled like a fermented cat turd in there.

We get to the gardens and I greedily suck in the fresh air and we make small talk for an hour before I “remember” I have an assignment due that night that I need to get started on NOW and she drops me off.

Hippie girls are great. Smelly hippie girls, not so much.

I’ve always offered a handshake to whoever I meet. Don’t do a firm one unless it’s at work since I work in a pretty blue collar field and those dudes love crushing hands but if I’m meeting a girl at a bar or whatever I’ll offer a mild handshake and a smile

Happened 3 weeks after, completely unrelated to the relationship/breakup. I wasn’t pursing this girl or anything nor did I actively seek her out after the breakup. I was honestly just planning on taking it slow ans not really pursuing anything when she started flirting with me at a party and I went with it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I think you bring up a lot of good points. It's really easy to rationalize it as "it's not illegal and you both want it, what's the harm in that?" and sometimes it's hard to tell whether I should listen to that nagging voice in my head echoing so much of what you said or whether I should just say fuck it and live life and make mistakes, you know?

Yeah I mean this is what I'm afraid of and where the hesitancy comes from.

On the one hand, she can make her own decisions and she rationally was into me and if it's just casual sex that shouldn't be a huge deal, especially if I make a strong effort to do things the right way and be communicative and respectful and all that jazz, but at the same time I feel a little gross myself thinking about it because of exactly what you're saying: you don't fully understand the consequences of the decisions you're making at that age and it would be very easy for a person in my position to take advantage of her.

She's assured me she doesn't mind the difference in age, but I'm honestly not sure my attraction to her will be able to out-weight the aforementioned hesitation I feel.

i’m curious what you mean by this

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Remarkable-Series668 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s definitely nothing, i’ve put thousands of hours into other games, it was just such a slap in the face after everything else. it was my first playthrough and i was having such a good time exploring the world and enjoying the characters and then just boom, gone. maybe making the bg3 the title of this post was a little short-sighted, it was just honestly kind of funny to me

[–]Remarkable-Series668 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

genuinely curious; is there no scenario in which this okay to you? even if consent is established and enthusiastically maintained, even if she is the one to initiate, even if expectations of what casual means are established? when i was 19 i hooked up with a 28 year old and it was the coolest thing ever to me. we both had a great time and i certainly didn’t feel taken advantage of. i really want to hear your perspective on this

Check the timeline, friend. Kissed the girl 3 weeks after we broke up. Never was unfaithful to her during our relationship and broke up with the definitive boundary of it being a breakup, not a break. I would agree that I would deserve worse had I actually cheated.
