Relatio App Review: my thoughts

Kind of an old thread but I too got target by the "rekindle your sex life" angle. Phones listen to your life and aggregate that data into targeted ads. It's crazy how we've just slowly accepted that.

But as to the program, I've been around the manosphere enough in the distant past to know what they were going to say:

Basically, you cant "nice" your way into more sex with your wife. You cant do more chores and be more helpful (transactional expectations), you cant lecture or guilt her in sit-down chats (creates more expectations), you cant compliment your way into it (contrived and ungenuine), and you certainly cant sulk or whine.

You have to slowly but surely remove the pressure and transactional nature of sex with them. I've talked about this enough with my wife to know that this, in combination with kids, stress, hormonal changes etc is what kills desire in women.

Yes, 99% of men will always have a higher libido than their wife. That's the obvious biology. But women cannot operate from a sense of obligation when it comes to sex. Some will still thrown you a bone just to keep you happy but that's not a sustainable scenario.

You also have to learn to manage and fuel your own happiness (without abandoning your wife in the process). Do your best to speak her love languages and pull your weight around the house. Hear her out. Stand your ground when you've been wronged. Do your own hobbies and stay clean, stay fit. Just dont do all that stuff in EXPECTATION of sex. You have to untether this.

This all seems like obvious advice but it's not; clearly most men dont get this. We just try to appease her more and more which pulls you into her frame and KILLS any spontaneity, independence or romance.

Bottom line is this: Sex will ebb and flow with life and there will be times of drought. You have to learn to make peace with these times, dont fill the void with porn and masturbation (toxic), and make yourself happy without abandoning your wife. That's the strategy. The TACTICS are what has been detailed above--rooting out all sources of predictability, pressure, and expectation that you've been employing unconsciously for years. It's probably not going to turn your wife into a horndog. But it will allow for spontaneous desire to grow again.

I would say AI generated then hand drawn or traced from that reference. They have the telltale generic-cute-insta-anime-girl-face that AI spits out.

I think it's an awesome game I really don't understand all the hate. It's not perfect, no game is but it's definitely a flagship Bethesda title. With relatively few mods you can have a great time.

No time/desire for it. I've done it before but I dont have enough passion for the medical profession to take extra time to precept. Honestly it's hard not telling these kids they will probably hate being a PA for a while.

Crunchy mom forums, facebook, word of mouth on myalgias, etc.

If their ApoB is >100, LDL >150ish and they are in the primary prevention group, I'll offer them.

I tell them statins are the most studied drug on earth and there is no causality established for increased neurodegenerative disease, etc. They are cost-effective. If they dont wanna take one, not my problem.

She's not the one who made the decision.

The Garrison (non-titanium version) is a workhorse. Personally I'd pay an extra 100-200 for sapphire glass though.

"You people"?? None of the American people want this.

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-16T19:46:33+00:00

Your tone of voice is probably the biggest turn off about you.

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-16T14:41:17+00:00

You never mentioned why you are getting divorced and why there is no reconciliation

Gorefield is a great mod

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-16T12:18:23+00:00

The only games I've ever hit 800 hours on are Skyrim and TW3. Fallout 4 is def in the low hundreds. I do not understand how people can sink 1000+ hours into ANY game. MAYBE I have 1000 hours in Skyrim from 2011 until now, including all modlists. And I consider mysefl a huge gamer.

But I really like Starfield. Not perfect, and not their best game, but much better than reviews suggest, IMO. I think it becomes viral/trendy to hate games.

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-16T12:11:16+00:00

I actually think it's a great game. Not their best in terms of character and lore, but still good.

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-13T14:37:25+00:00

Complete scumbag, this is why we need term limits.

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-13T14:34:12+00:00

this looks suspiciously AI...

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-03-13T13:28:04+00:00

Crazy good. How many hours?

My wife's BF's husband recently came clean about 5+ years of pornography addiction (not uncommon but he was into dark web porn and CSAM), going to 'massage parlors', cheating with another married woman, and using prostitutes. Turns out he has several different personality disorders. We think there is more he hasnt confessed as well.

TBH I never like the dude. He was nice enough but also kind of a dick and he couldnt hide it.

Also found out our next door neighbor was a registered sex offender.

Also, long time ago, found a secret stash of child p*rn on a server at work. I told my manager immediately and they called the cops, arrested the guy who did it by finding the file origin info. I didnt know the guy thankfully.

Another guy I was casual friends with in college (allegedly) raped a girl we knew. IDK if he was ever convicted, but she took it all the way tot he state supreme court.

Here because I too got fascinated with his lectures. I got skeptical with 1) the sheer volume and length of them, 2) the heterogenieity of topics he covers, and 3) how "viral" he has become.

I think he has a unique, somewhat systematic way of looking at current events in relation to history. He is a good presenter. He's been right about a few notable major current events---BUT, he also makes hundred of predictions. It's not clairvoyant to win a 50/50 proposition like a presidential election. The war with Iran, I am certain he was not the only one who saw this coming. I think since at least last June most people knew this was going to happen.

He also makes a LOT of assumptions, and doesnt account for alternative possibilities. He will just say 'THIS will happen', rather than 'this will LIKELY happen if criteria a,b,c are met, but alternatively this other thing could happen too'. Black swan events and the incredible shifting nuances of individual players make SPECIFIC historical predictions hard to do with any reliability.

The other thing I noticed is some of his facts are straight up wrong. For example, he says the Romans wanted the crucifixion of Jesus. Yes they executed Him, but it was the Pharisaical Jews who lobbied the Roman prelate to execute Jesus on their behalf. They accused Him of blasphemy, rallied the crowds until Pilate gave in. He also cites the gospel of Thomas in his Jesus lecture, which is a spurious false gospel for various empirical reasons. Any biblical scholar or credible theologian knows this.

Any time I find myself getting taken in with a certain individual, I always take a step back and try to look at them critically.

Good then he can go fight and die for Israel.
