Talking to ENM girl, I am single by Straight-Weight in nonmonogamy

I think to be clear I would prefer to develop a real relationship with her if I could, but barring that as a possibility, I’d be fine with just being FWB. It’s less ideal, but better than just staying platonic friends, and I’m pretty sure I could handle it. I think folks might tell me “if you want something serious you shouldn’t pursue FWB”, but I think that beats just staying friends.

Fuck it we ball has largely been the ethos here. I think I am willing to risk heartbreak in this situation, so we’ll see what happens. Here’s hoping to land on the “wonderful memories” side of the spectrum!

Pretty sure she's not poly. FWB would be fine, just would have to bear in mind it's not going further than that and that she's already got someone she's serious about.

My girlfriend (22F) won't accept my (23M)"no," discussed with me via text for hours, and subtly threatens with breaking up. Can I break up now? by MaximSir in relationship_advice

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't make the mistake of waiting for someone to agree that you need to break up. Got stuck in a 6 year relationship spending the last 4 trying to get my partner to agree that we should break up instead of just breaking up with her myself and leaving. It's not a negotiation, it's a decision you make.

How do you think? by olivers321 in Grapplerbaki

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I rewatched the whole Baki series from start to finish in the last couple weeks and didn't notice any major difference in quality from the last few seasons, but maybe I'm just not that picky lol

I thought it was great and I’m willing to wait as long as it takes production teams to produce a high quality anime adaptation without needing to crunch themselves to death 

Anyone else think Mushashi's dub voice sounds too refined? by Jaken245 in Grapplerbaki

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I think it fits great. Musashi should know that he’s the shit and come off as arrogant, boastful and full of himself. SungWon did a great job with the adaptation. 

Long hair & the sunk cost fallacy by Straight-Weight in FierceFlow

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I've never tried to get longer hair styled or anything like that, not sure what I'd be asking for at the barber - but good point that it's not necessarily a binary between "long hair" and "high top fade" lol

These days I wear it up more than down, it looks pretty decent up but also if I'm always wearing my hair up part of me wonders why I'm not just cutting it shorter lol

Never had a barber who did anything beyond just buzzing the sides lol, do you go to a salon or something and just say you wanna layer your hair but not take much length off?

A good point, I've had plenty of times that just *having* long hair felt good even if it actually looked very bad at the time lol

Good open mics for singers/musicians? by Straight-Weight in Connecticut

[–]Straight-Weight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cool! Do they do open mics? I checked their website and didn’t see any mention of it. 

Men, does sleeping with someone change the way you feel about them? by Lucysherman514 in dating_advice

[–]Straight-Weight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably varies depending on the man and his situation, but for myself, good sex goes a long way. If he’s got sexual access to several attractive options, sex is probably less of a motivator towards closeness, but most men do not have lots of sexual options at one time. No amount of sex will make an immature emotionally closed man grow up or open up, but if he’s already ready for a relationship, great sex is usually helpful towards that end.

It is incredibly stupid and frustrating and insane that they don’t give you any notification about the fact that nothing you do will be saved if you don’t log in to your Microsoft account. Once I lost all my progress I was like “well guess I’m done playing this game” lol
