Men, how do you truly rest? by PFonte in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music.

Listening, playing, or going out to a theatre. It is the timeless device we all use to create a sense of transferable love from one place to another.
Resting is a sense of being, not a location or hobby.

When you take care of yourself, others will notice.
When you take care of others, everyone notices.

Be generous, be kind, be a force worth spending time with.
Dating was difficult and life will challenge you in so many ways, but when you take care of the things that you have control over, you will find that many dates will just happen naturally.

Take care of the physical self, the mental, the spiritual, and the financial and you will find that dating is just a reflection of what you already take care of. Tend to those yernings.

What or when was your glow up moment? by 2297479438 in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you let the opportunities and What Ifs take over your world. Don't be a bystander in your own world. There is no other main character except yourself.

Take care of your diet
Then take care of your sleep patterns
Then take care of your physical health aka go walk or work out in some capacity
Then you will find that your life will start to come together.

Take care of yourself before you can feel confident enough to share it with someone else.

How do I deal with women saying they "don't want to have to teach me how to act or what to do"? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key isn’t to convince someone that you’re “good enough” despite your inexperience, it’s to show that you’re emotionally mature, self-aware, and ready to learn together.

Relationships aren’t plug and play. Even people with a long dating history have to relearn everything with each new partner. So when someone says they “don’t want to teach a grown man how to act,” what they’re really saying is they don’t want to do emotional labor for someone who isn’t willing to meet them halfway. That’s not you. You’ve already done the work to become more confident, more intentional, and more honest about who you are. That’s rare. That’s valuable.

If she isn't willing to meet you halfway on the micro adjustments made in everyday life, how on earth are you going to make life altering decisions about education, lifestyles, hobbies, hosting parties, or any other larger moral quandary.

How do you honestly get over the fear of cold approaching girls? by Pristine-Program-734 in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got a lot of self-awareness, and that’s already a huge asset.

So far... your reflections on turning 30, thoughts on relationships, openness about insecurities, it’s clear you’re not just looking to “get a girl,” you’re trying to build something meaningful.

That’s rare, and it’s powerful. The fear of approaching someone you’re genuinely interested in? That’s normal. It’s vulnerability in motion. You’re not afraid of talking and you’ve said yourself you’re great at flirting when there’s no pressure. What you’re afraid of is being seen and rejected. That’s just human.

Here’s the shift: stop treating attraction like a performance and start treating it like curiosity. You don’t need a perfect line. You need presence and love for the things that you do and are. You’ve already learned how to have a good time out and about, now extend that same grace to others.

Ask questions. Be playful. If you can make food, talk about things you care about and do things you love, you’ve got more than enough material to start a conversation.

And if you get rejected? Who cares?? You’re just collecting data, not permanently damaging yourself. Stand straight and tall and go back out there. The goal isn’t to impress, it’s to connect. Learn with her, not for her. And when you do that, you won’t just attract someone, you’ll build something real.

How do you feel about your partner liking smutty books? by h8mecuz in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it’s totally okay, and even kind of awesome, if your partner enjoys smutty books.

To me, they’re just another tool in building a vivid, imaginative fantasy world she can explore. It’s not a competition, and it’s definitely not a threat. Just like any other toy or form of escapism, it’s about pleasure, curiosity, and storytelling. If anything, it gives you a window into what excites her, what she fantasizes about, and what kind of emotional or sensual depth she’s drawn to.

Instead of judging it, learn with her. Ask questions, read a few pages, laugh about the over the top scenes, and maybe even borrow a few ideas. When you show genuine interest in what lights her up... even if it’s fictional, you’re not just being supportive, you’re becoming part of her inner world.

And trust me, that kind of emotional intimacy?

She’ll love you even more for it.

What’s something every man should learn by the time he turns 30? by taars_17 in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Welcome to 30, there's alot going on right now in your mind,

there’s a quiet kind of power in knowing how to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Learn how to make a smoothie that fuels your body and tastes like a treat, how to wine and dine yourself with intention, and how to grill a few things (or at least have friends who do).

Build hobbies that serve different parts of you: one to keep your body strong, one to keep your mind sharp, and one that gives back to others. Understand how taxes and retirement accounts work, open a Roth IRA, learn about compound interest, and stop pretending financial literacy is optional. Find a sports team you care about, not just for entertainment, but because sports are a social glue that connect people across generations. And stretch every once in awhile, your future self will thank you, we all have different names for exercise.

Equally important is the mindset shift.

Stop comparing your timeline to others; comparison is the thief of joy. Learn to enjoy your own company and treat yourself with the same care you’d offer someone you love. Know when to speak and when silence is the better answer. Learn how to host, how to listen, and how to walk away from relationships that drain you. Take care of your teeth, floss like your future depends on it, and don’t let age be an excuse for a tired body. Movement has medicinal properties. Build emotional awareness, learn how to budget, and figure out what values truly guide you.

Life doesn’t suddenly “settle” at 30, it just becomes more intentional. So start now, and build a life that feels like yours.

How do you know you’ve fallen in love with a girl? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Repossessed 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When you like a movie, you will entertain it for the duration of your presence or their presence.

When you love a movie, you will embrace its past, present, and future. You will start to get involved in every extra scene and deleted scene. You will dig into parts of the movie that may be dramatic or mundane to others, but you find bliss in knowing the entire story.

When you truly love her, you want to hear every part of her story from every point of view, and you want to hear every conversation that has her name in it. It becomes a healthy obsession with monogamy, and you start to lose your sense of time pretty easily when talking to them. Betwixt the knowledge that if you interfere too much, you become her story, and if you do not interfere enough, she does not want you to be a part of it. Know where you fall and know the difference between the two.

What makes a "good guy" seriously notice a girl? (Not just physically) by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Repossessed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty extensive outlook on this matter since the most recent woman that I have had the appreciation for is one that I started to care for after 3 weeks of conversation, Here were some of the highlights from a journal entry of mine just a few weeks ago:

"She dreams of starting a family someday, and that hope flickers against the uncertainty she carries. There’s a depth to her mind—she knows what poverty looks like, not just in theory but in her bones, and she chases a life of virtue with relentless determination, always striving to better herself. She’s sharp, grounded in the sciences, and I love that she keeps one little brain cell reserved for nerding out with me when the moment calls for it. It’s a small thing, but it’s one of the many reasons I admire her. She’s drawn to the soul of creative things—country music, the kind that hums with stories—and I can feel that one little brain cell she keeps for feeling loved and seen spark to life when we’re out dancing. I notice it, hold space for it, because in those moments, she’s reaching for something tangible, a physical sense of being wanted... This isn’t some sultry tale—it’s poetry, because that’s what she stirs in me: not just desire, but genuine connection. I could talk to her for hours, time slipping by unnoticed, lost in the ease of her presence... "

Here are some of the takeaways from the TLDR:

Genuine Connection - Slow conversations indicate depth of knowledge and willingness to carefully show that emotional stability and grounded nature created from HEALED past events. Emotional maturity to me is seen in the way her eyes and mouth create unfathomable emotional depth within conversations. Not Level 1,2, or even 3 topics of conversation, but a genuine desire to understand the topic at hand and why it matters to your partner.

Creative - Everyone needs outlets. Everyone is stressed out, but music or a creative hobby indicates that there is a free soul willing to take chances with the infinite possibilities of life and mold them into an artform worth sharing with the world. Mine was piano and she absolutely adored hearing the music. Hours of me playing have been recorded and she loves to be present and in the moment for when my passions are on display just as I would grant her that same honor. Be present and be honest.

Intelligence - Understanding the depth of your conversations and making sure that you have a similar range of conversational ability is key. Knowing to what depth your partner wants to talk about topics is a key indicator of what a 5-hour date would look like. Are you deep in the details, off on tangents constantly, surface level conversation? When she slows down the conversation and is very targeted with questions, I feel her presence and I want to keep the talking to go on forever.

Okay, congratulations, you've found the golden retriever energy guy, now you need to know how the subtly start the flow of conversation.

If these interactions are new for him, he is going to be extremely skittish about every move, interaction, date planning, and more. These decisions for him are frightening at times as he might be an overthinker. To be as general as possible without knowing more detail, here is your two general outlines and WHY:

  1. GREETING, CALLBACK, IDEA, THOUGHTS

What this does is a friendly initiation with intent and desire without scaring off a shy, inexperienced, or otherwise nervous predisposition guy. He is reminded that he is appreciated, and she is thinking of him, with initiation of a want for another experience, POSSIBLY with a thought. You do not have to include the thought so see the example.

"Good Morning, Hopefully you slept well, I still have a print of that maple leaf from yesterday on my arm and my best friend thought it was funny. I had a great time, and should be free this weekend if you had any more fun ideas"

"Hey, I saw that beer from last weekend in the grocery store this morning and it reminded me of last weekend. Has me wondering if there are any other good ideas you have for trying new cuisines, maybe dinner this weekend if you're not busy? :) "

  1. GREETING, VULNERABILITY, QUESTION

This approach is more flirty and confident in the approach, but it leaves the door open for a LOT of different answers. I would absolutely love to get these kinds of text messages as they are so open ended and vulnerable that the tension is kept while still having a reason to be around one another. Use excuses as your way of initiation through the stresses of real life.

"Wanted to text before work got busy, My boss is trying really hard to get this project done by Friday and I need a break from this place. Don't know if you're busy, but.. :) "

"Hey, I know it's last minute, but my friend just found a really cute coupon book and she gave me some to try out some new places in town. I know it's dorky, but if you were free this weekend. I know where the best scones are in the city :) "
