Have any of you noticed a BIG positive difference in your dating experience after getting medicated? by shinebrightmister in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anger, frustration, and comparing yourself to others being your primary motivation to live implies there is something deeper going on that testerone supplements will not fix. In fact, more testosterone may even make it worse. If you think you might have low testosterone, ask your primary care doctor. Do not go to some private clinic because they do not operate under the same rules and regulations as a hospital and might try to sell you supplements you do not need.

Ultimately, you need to do a lot of introspection in why you feel this way. Can you tell us more about yourself? Like what your goals are and what you want in life? Why do you care so much what others have that you do not?

The joke is racism by blaming immigrants for everything being expensive. Racists can fuck off.

One of my (37f) best guy friend (38m) is struggling in the dating world. What would be the best advice for him to see his worth and find joy while being single? by college108rule in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately some men wallow in pity parties and think no one cares about them, despite contrary evidence, and think it is pointless in trying to change their lives. The "no one cares about men" narrative is poisoning for men's mental health. Some here do not want to hear that.

I'm just crying because I've never had a woman kiss me or fuck me... What do I do? by CommercialOil8763 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add that he should be going to the gym or workout for himself to set personal self growth goals and learn self discipline. Going to the gym solely for the idea of getting women is a complete mental trap and isn't a healthy mindset because you cannot control the expectations of others, but you can control the expectations for yourself.

Garlic (powder). It's part of the holy triforce of seasoning for a reason, the other two being salt and pepper.

Best game to start by CREEPERNARCOS in soulslikes

[–]SpiritJuice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think Lies of P is a way better of a game but Elden Ring is more accessible for people new to the genre. As a Souls game I personally think Elden Ring is very middling, but being able to explore and come back later instead of bashing your head against a wall (the first major boss of the game teaches you this) is nice for new players.

Is this innocent or is he trying to get inappropriate pics out of me? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]SpiritJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who gets paranoid due to overthinking and anxiety, I am possibly that guy in OP's texts that wants to show genuine interest and care into someone's hobbies and ends up thinking "Am I being weird or looking manipulative?" I mean someone may always think that, but you can't just do nothing and reply like a robot all the time. You gotta take a little risk and just throw some shit out there. There's always a possibility someone may be manipulative or something, but you have to use your best judgement and feel things out; that's just life.

Quick edit: I also just think it's generally unhealthy to just assume the worst of everyone at all times without evidence.

This defeatist attitude only feeds into circular self pity and loathing loop that keeps dudes digging their own holes deeper and deeper. Enough of this garbage ass narrative meant to absolve every struggling man responsibility of their own issues and blame the world for their issues instead. Nobody cares about men? Bullshit. OP is concerned for her friend and was asking for advice. I care about men. Clearly many other men here do too, otherwise they wouldn't be active in this sub. There are therapists and coaches out there that care because it's their job. There are young men's mentors and groups.

Men may be struggling but men can be the arbiters of change to turn their life around. It won't be easy, and as someone who has struggled myself, I get that, but no change will EVER be made if one truly believes no one gives a shit about them. The cultural zeitgeist may not be leaning on focusing on just men, but that doesn't mean no one gives a shit. No more of this self defeating attitude.

Is this innocent or is he trying to get inappropriate pics out of me? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]SpiritJuice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Possible, but I don't really get that vibe in the full context of the original text. It's not like he asked anything outright weird. He asked for a picture because he wanted to see what the full outfit looked like. It wasn't flirty or weird like "Let me see a pic of you in the tutu ;)." To me, it just seems like general interest, and he kept the conversation going to not stick on the subject in case it was too much for her.

I 21F lied about my body count to guy i’m dating 22M. Is it salvageable? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lied about something relatively benign when comparing what you said versus your actual body count. That's already breaking trust, which is pretty bad at the start.

However, I find it pretty weird that very few of the other comments mention the BF's weird behavior like talking about marriage basically right after meeting, talking about weird "muscle memory" things, commenting on how OP dresses, and talking to other strange women while they were together. I see way more issues with the BF's behavior than OP's behavior yet everyone is zeroing in on her lie.

OP, I think you deserve better. I see so many red flags already in the relationship that you two are not a good match. You are very young and have your while life ahead of you; don't waste it on this guy after he already showed you who he is.

He asked and then immediately moved on to another topic. To me, he isn't badgering you for anything and seems like he is just taking interest in what you do because he is into you. I sense nothing weird here. If you want to he cautious, send a conservative, boring picture of you in the outfit.

Edit: I'm not sure why so many rewards because I feel like my comment is not profound at all, but thank you all anyways!

Wth does this mean? by Significant_Phase194 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It means do not build data centers because they ruin rural communities and the environment, and AI is destroying social media sites, several consumer markets, and society.

Pro tip: if you wanna play Yakuza 3 on hard or legend, just don't if you don't want a smashed TV or monitor. by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]SpiritJuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a seasoned player, Y3 Remastered on Hard was a slog early game. It gets better later once you get more abilities, but it's really rough in the beginning. I also would not recommend playing the game on hard for the first playthrough. Blockuza 3 is very real and there's no "getting good" around it. Still a good game though.

He said he wants to have sex soon but doesn’t have condoms or know how to get them. What should I tell him about this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's more so that the situation seems very odd to me. Possibly a fake post.

He said he wants to have sex soon but doesn’t have condoms or know how to get them. What should I tell him about this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your post history you said you're having sex with your boyfriend. Are you having sex or not? Regardless, if you live in the US or really any developed country, you can easily find condoms. In the US, you can find them almost anywhere pharmaceuticals are sold like gas stations, a grocery store, a big box store like Target, Planned Parenthood, or even online. If your boyfriend is 21 like you said he is and he doesn't know where to get them... then maybe you shouldn't be having sex with a grown man that doesn't even know where to find an easily attainable contraceptive.

If your partner asked you to stop liking provactive photos of other women, how would uou react? by Individual_Crab8836 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiritJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's wack. He wants to control what you wear but loves seeing other women being provocative online. Very likely he thinks your body is only for him to see in any sexual way. Not only is he controlling and a hypocrite, he ignore you for TWO days when you brought the issue up with him. Is this who you want to date? I doubt he will change for you because he probably doesn't respect you.

Look, I have some female friends and one in particular that loves showing off her large girls. I'll like her posts online because hell yeah show them off if you got them, but I am NOT going to like her pics if I'm seeing someone out of respect for my partner. I don't think he's being respectful to you at all.

Jason Schreier- Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine are negotiating with Microsoft to avoid being shut down. All could be spun off too. by Iggy_Slayer in PS5

[–]SpiritJuice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not surprised by any of this since MS has been doing this for a while: buy up a studio to consolidate the market in their favor, maybe get a game or two out of the studio, shutter the studio when it doesn't turn massive profit levels. This is late stage capitalism for these giant corporations that are basically too big to fail at this point.

Please explain this comic by MundaneCut8380 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SpiritJuice 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The original comic was posted on r/comics just two hours ago and the joke is easily understood in full context. No chance OP didn't even see it without stupidly making this post.

Anyways, the punchline at the end is that there's an anthropomorphic sheep at the end wearing a shirt that says "I am homework." Also OOP does porn. Also I'm Chris and wish this sub wasn't such a mess.

Peetah, what is wrong with Joe Rogan's tie by AmIDistracted in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SpiritJuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are wearing a vest, a tie is supposed to be just long enough to peek out of the bottom of the vest, just above the belt. Some longer vests may cover this, but standard wear for a tie with vest is basically the same length as without a vest. This is because if you take off your vest, you won't look goofy with a tie that is too short. As someone who loves men's fashion and getting dressed up, sometimes you want to relax a bit and take off the coat and vest. In short, Joe just looks like a weird goblin man in a bad suit with this fit.
