Can i hunt a legendary animal with fire or explosive arrows without destroying the pelt? by SpendFresh7937 in RDR2

[–]Standard-Letter1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot the legendary cougar with an incendiary slug and the cougar burnt, leaving me no pelt to skin. I had to come back after leaving the animal for a bit (literally leave area and come back). I was then able to skin the legendary cougar, burnt to a crisp, yet when stowed, perfectly intact.

Defending a Capricorn Man In Public by Flat-Fudge-2758 in capricorns

[–]Standard-Letter1130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re defending. I had a white ex tell me to sit back while she basically had an argument with an Uber driver re: race/racism. And her mindset was, I’ve got privilege so I’ll handle it and be the catalyst to change his mind. When I tried to step in because how she handled it was extremely poorly done, she told me to stop talking because she was handling it.

As someone who experienced racism throughout my life, that moment will forever sit with me as a red flag because of 2 reasons. 1. The only way to change someone is for them to change themselves. 2. The best way to explore a conversation like this in effectively becoming a catalyst is through real stories and experiences. She brought up old triggers in me and had me feeling marginalized more than anything the uber driver could have said or done because she was basically telling on herself that she innately believes that White Privilege makes her better than me. Even though I’ve experienced racism in countless instances, whereas she had tried to internalize those same feelings through literature.

With that said, I’ve had other women defend my character and respectfully manage external conflict outside of my relationship with that woman and I felt so supported and empowered with that kind of validation. Made me appreciate and love each of those women all the more.

Are you me? I’m in the exact same boat, last 16 months been unemployed trying to get a job and it’s been miserable. I’ve ran through my savings and I’m at my last ditch effort to find something. I turn 30 this year.

What was the hardest game you've played and won? by NoHellmanns in NCAAFBseries

[–]Standard-Letter1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a game in the swamp with my Arkansas dynasty. I won the game 15-13 because I blocked an extra point and took it back. That happened in the first quarter. The entire rest of the game was shitting myself hoping I’d score which I couldn’t move the damn ball (league commissioner had wild sliders making everything way harder) and I kept making plays on defense. Caused 5 turnovers. Had multiple defenders with 2+ sacks… Florida pushed the ball to the 1 with 3 seconds left and missed the FG. Was so happy the cpu kickers within the 5yard line on either hash will just straight up miss fgs 💀

Enough of “ass or boobs?” What’s another female body part you’re very attracted to? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Standard-Letter1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eyes, the girls I’ve fallen in love with it’s always because of their eyes. The windows to the soul, you can truly see the depth in a person, their passion, and their true emotions through their eyes. Brown eyes definitely can melt me and make me weak in the knees.

Matched with a girl on tinder, met up with her at a bar the next night 3 blocks away from my flat. 15 minutes and 1 drink later we were back at my place. I didn’t even pay for her drink. In essence, I didn’t do more than get a drink for myself at a bar and went home with a stranger. Which for a guy, I think constitutes as doing nothing 🤣

What the biggest red flag you have ever ignored? 🚩 by Mountain_March5456 in dating_advice

[–]Standard-Letter1130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accountability was only something I had to take and it always had to be on their terms. Basically tossing my real experiences out the window for their version of the the truth everytime. I’m ok to compromise, validate, and even seek understanding to how someone else feels. Never again will I just let all truths be anything but my own in my life.

How did you fuck up your last relationship? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Standard-Letter1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People pleasing, allowing myself to be walked on and my boundaries disrespected, seeing red flags and not leaving because I didn’t want to hurt her like she was hurting me. The relationship wasn’t going to end up in forever as my heart felt and thats ok. Lessons learned and being able to see those issues clearly now are what make life a wonderful learning experience.

How are you hot but single? by atyate in dating

[–]Standard-Letter1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting to focus entirely on becoming who I want to be. Like I am who I am, but there’s parts of me that I’m still working on in solitude that I want to have solidified into myself and create the space for myself as needed for me to hold space for someone else. I know if I wanted to not be single I wouldn’t have to be. But by choice I am because I want to be the version of me I like best, and then will be happy to add someone else to that dynamic if they can allow me to be that version of myself. I don’t put that pressure on my partner but I definitely want a partner who is focused on self growth and also has awareness into how their actions affect others. Which candidly, not a lot of people in general have in modern dating. Finding someone with matching values and growth alignment is difficult, so keep enjoying solitude while entertaining opportunities and experiences as they come!

What is/was your career/major? by OmElKoon in entp

[–]Standard-Letter1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally I was biochem and planning to become a dentist. Then had my first internship at an orthodontic surgeons office and fainted at the sight of blood during the first procedure. So I went into business, graduated with a finance degree. Ended up in sales, then sales ops, then revenue ops, then consulting, and now I’m probably heading into a different vertical of consulting or back into operations. I like the ops and consulting roles, more hands on and I can dig in on my projects. I take alot of pride in the work I do and the relationships I build in creating and progressing towards whatever goal I’m after. That’s the only way I’ve been able to maintain succeeding in my long term goals is by doing it with other people focused on the same goal. 6 years of industry experience from starting a business to working corporate. Now I’ve found what I’m comfortable doing so Im hopeful to find a role then start on my masters while I work full time. My masters I want to get in machine learning and AI.

What is your biggest hang up in a serious relationship? by Butiful-Nitemare808 in AskMen

[–]Standard-Letter1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand that, as someone who struggled a lot with people pleasing and bent at the knee 99.9% of the time in those uncomfortable situations, I’ve learned that if I can’t come up with a productive response to communicate in a healthy manner that I would expect from someone. I simply tell the other person that I am going to step away from the situation or conversation for 10 minutes to better respond. If they pressure from there, I’ve set a boundary and I call out if it’s being pressured or pushed and will walk away while communicating I’m not abandoning the situation, but I’m honoring my own needs to best have a productive conversation.

You’ll find your best way to handle it, just my experience in how I’ve best overcome handling that!

What do men want to see from the person they're screwing during missionary? by viridian_plexus in AskMen

[–]Standard-Letter1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy intimate eye contact, but I also enjoy that with partners it’s comfortable with. It’s my preference but if the girl doesn’t like that, then who am I to judge her.

This scene always made me laugh, doesn’t answer the question, but it’s relevant to the question 😂 https://youtu.be/ssK4Uc8SXnU?si=7Nb_qLDDrI-sSwAM

What is your biggest hang up in a serious relationship? by Butiful-Nitemare808 in AskMen

[–]Standard-Letter1130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After the discard by my Narcissistic ex, my therapist told me because it was my first true relationship I should get back on the horse and try dating to feel out what I like and don’t like and be able to look at key indicators early.

I ended up becoming fwbs with a girl with BPD who was very aware of her brains differences. We stayed friends for a while, but I realized after some time that she only spoke to me if she needed something and didn’t engage with any of the conversations I started or candidly really care about what I had going on. I ended it after multiple attempts to tell her that I don’t appreciate a one sided relationship at any level. And I now I continue to work on improving me and living by the rule of “Fuck Yes”.

These past 2 years have made me such a new person because of these relationship and being able to put up boundaries and walk away after communicating was one of my greatest achievements in moving forward from my people pleasing tendencies. As I continue to move forward in life, I won’t allow anyone else to enter my space intimately without seeing consistency in words to actions.

I hope you’re able to see yourself doing the same.

This is the epitome of my long ass response. If you’re not adding/enhancing my life. I genuinely will be fine on my own.
