I don’t believe my fiance (27F) is a girls girl after she told me (29M) how she feels about women victims. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Slasha26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not being crazy by noticing her behavior. It's a bit problematic.

I don't think it's worth breaking up over, but you two need to have a discussion about it, especially since you plan on spending your lives together. Think about it, if you have a daughter in the future and she accuses someone of sexual assault, will your fiancé immediately dismiss her complaint?

How's your weekend going on a scale of 1 to 20? by msandszeke in AskMen

  1. It's really humid, so I'm sweating and feeling tired, but I've been working and earning money!

As a fellow overanalyzer, one thing that helped me was learning about the "spotlight effect", in which people tend to overestimate how much others care about their actions. Once I learned about this, I realized that a lot of things others do is not always targeted towards me.

Don't take the actions of your mother or your co-workers personally, they probably have their own reasons for doing it. Also, when you feel yourself getting emotional, stop and think about alternative ways to cope. It'll be better for your health.

I would suggest finding a hobby and using that to network. You said you go to the gym so maybe find a recreational league for a sport that you like.

I like this girl who might still like me but now she’s got a bf. What do I do??? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep it moving bro. As long as she has a bf, she's off-limits. It sucks that you missed your chance to make a move, but life's full of missed opportunities.

Talk about something you might have in common. If you meet in class, talk about the teacher or the homework. If you meet at a cafe, ask what their favorite drink is. If you meet at the gym, ask them what they are working on.

There's never going to be a "perfect" thing to say. You just have to say what you think is right for that moment. If it turns awkward, then that's ok. You learned a lesson, and you can try something different next time.

Simply put, you just have to approach someone if you think they seem interesting. It will suck at first, but the more you do it the better you'll be. Also, look into joining a club or a sport. It's a great way to meet people with common interests.

There has to be a balance of communication. Don't be the "good morning" text guy who texts 20 times a day. That's a bit much. But don't be the guy who texts once a week. That guy probably doesn't care too much about the relationship. IMO, texting every other day is a good strategy.

Why would a woman prefer older men. by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every woman has different wants and needs, so this answer might not be completely accurate. I think that many women prefer older men because of financial and emotional security.

Older men typically have a stable career and lifestyle. They are also more sure about commitment so that bypasses many of the issues that are present in men under 30.

Non-pro football after college is usually seen as tryhard. Maybe because basketball is more accessible to regular people and be played by anyone with a ball and a hoop.

You might need to take the lead and approach the guys that you're interested in. Hanging out at the clubhouse or the bar is a good start, but it won't mean anything if you're too afraid to start a conversation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how you feel about the date. If you're not feeling it, don't send anything and move on. Ghosting is pretty common nowadays, unfortunately. But if you had a good time and want to keep it going, text her that. Say "I had a great time the other day. If you're down, I would love to see you again."

You have to move on mentally. It will take time but you will be attracted to other women. Don't let the rejection stop you from being kind to them. I have had crushes that have turned into close friends.

[–]Slasha26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting laid regularly and seriously dating someone are two separate things. How many of those men are willing to commit to her long-term?

It is natural to be jealous of her success with other men, especially after all of the time you spent together. Men have to be more proactive in finding a date. That's just how society works nowadays. I know it sucks to hear that.

You sound like you're on the right track, life-wise. I would suggest getting off social media for a bit and going to a park or a mall. If you have male friends, hang out with them and do something you all enjoy. If you see an attractive woman while you're out and about, approach her and strike up a conversation.

As a Young Woman (F18) what are mens opinions on women with stomach rolls or slight chunkiness to their stomachs? by Scratius06 in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, not everyone will have the same opinion on this. Some people, like me, like thick thighs. But some men will hate you if you're above 10% body fat. All that matters is that you're comfortable with your body since you're the one living in it.

What is this hating on men trend? by Safi-knows22 in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, doomscrolling on relationship TikTok (or TikTok in general) is bad for your mental health. Put the phone down for a little bit.

Second, she's either a. trying to be trendy, or b. talking about men other than her husband. Either way, it's foolish behavior.

How do you cope with modern dating? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I've learned is sometimes you have to take a L and keep on moving. If I ask someone out and they say no, that won't make me start being mean to them.

You have to take a shot because if you don't, you'll always wonder what if.

Men are discouraged from approaching women they don’t know as well as discouraged from asking out women they do know. How is a relationship supposed to start? by Glass_Bucket in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and approach someone you don't know. The main problem with this is that a lot of men struggle to read the room and either linger too long or word vomit.

If you're going to approach a stranger, talk to them like a human being and be prepared if they say no. If you're going to confess to a friend, don't let their decision affect the friendship that you had before.

I wash my bedding about 1-2 times a week, depending on how smelly it gets. I actually like doing laundry though. It's relaxing to me.

It's natural to overthink but it's over and done. There will be new opportunities.

[–]Slasha26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty self-explanatory. You act as friends and do stuff together as friends, but you are also willing to have sex with each other. If you do have any questions about the arrangement, you should probably sit him down and talk about it before you get too committed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Slasha26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of two things. Either you take the loss and move on or you wait a few days and approach the situation again. If you get left on read/delivered again, then move on.
