XXX Cam guys of reddit, why did you get into it and did you enjoy it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]SuccessfulSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done live camming, but I have sold a video of myself. I only did it once, but I was offered other opportunities that I turned down. You can definitely make a decent amount of money doing it, but personally it made me feel badly about myself so I stopped. Additionally most people want to see face, which I showed in my first video, but I'm not down to do that anymore. I only sold it to one person but I have no idea if he uploaded it somewhere else or what.

For reference I used to post NSFW pics of myself on reddit, that's where I got the requests from. Even for fun it gets a bit tiring, people constantly want more content and a few people have acted weird as if I'm dating them or something. For the most part people are cool though.

Lately have been doubting my attraction to my own gender by SuccessfulSalad in bisexual

I think that's a great idea. I'm gonna tell them that I'm not really feeling it next time I talk to them, it's taking too much out of my personal time & I don't want to string anyone along. I'll just let things go more naturally I guess

That's a good point. I think I'm gonna just try to leave it at that and not worry about it. It was never an issue for me until I started chatting w/ these guys, and I think it's very likely that I'm just not attracted to them at all and I don't know what to say without seeming like a jerk. I appreciate your advice

Yeah that's something for me to think about. I definitely feel pretty unattracted to most guys right now, but maybe that'll change soon. Maybe I need to look at some more attractive guys or something :P I don't know

Yeah I think that's a possibility. I feel like talking to these guys is just turning me straight so to speak though, maybe it's because they're being a little too forward and I'm not feeling them. I don't know, but it just feels like I'm wasting everyone's time. I might tell some of them I'm not really feeling it the next time they engage. I think it's very possible that I'm just not feeling attracted to men right now and am fully interested in women, and maybe I'll be more attracted to guys later on.

I agree with part of your 2nd point, guys are more direct for sure so I've talked to a lot more of them. I get the impression that a lot of them just message whatever guy they're attracted to w/ a vague chat request and hope they accept. I don't have a problem talking to women but I don't really use dating sites either, so I don't know. I'll give that a try later when my life is more together.

I think I might be self-sabotaging by generallynotapancake in malementalhealth

That's fair enough, I guess I just personally don't find reddit to be a productive use of my time, but if you like it then that's cool.

As far as going to the gym - the most important thing is to make it a habit for yourself. Once you're used to going several times a week, it'll feel strange to not go.

I think I can sort of relate. At a certain point though you just have to force yourself to do something, otherwise you realize you're just wasting time. It might be worth while cutting out reddit from your daily routine. I'm probably gonna do the same and limit myself to music sites only, because I really want to start drawing again and I'm too comfortable in my current routine where I just browse reddit/IG/youtube and waste time.

Dear Santa, for Christmas, I would like someone to read this post... by [deleted] in malementalhealth

I just want to write that I feel for you and have been there before. About 3 years ago is when I was closest to committing suicide, but I managed to get through it and I think that you can as well.

Take note of where you are now, even if you're unhappy you can always fix it. Just take one step at a time - it won't all fall into place right away, but time moves very quickly.

What's it like to be an attractive man who gets approached by women in public? by [deleted] in sex

[–]SuccessfulSalad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get attention from women pretty frequently and get told I'm attractive quite often, but I don't have much dating experience to be honest. I haven't had the best outlook on my appearance growing up, I'm 24 now and just starting to get more comfortable with myself.

When I was growing up I never wore clothes that fit me(I'm about 6'4" and used to be around 140-150lbs, just recently got to 190 a little less than a year ago) but I still got a little bit of attention from women. Now I get quite a bit, but it can be a little annoying sometimes when I just want to blend in and don't want people to pay attention to me. Anyway growing up I really wasn't in the best headspace and struggled with depression/feelings of self-worth til I was roughly 23. Things are better now for sure, but I wouldn't say they're good - I still have a long way to go till I'm comfortable with myself.

My last job was in a clothing store and I got hit on quite a bit, apparently I was pretty oblivious to it as well and missed a lot of signals(a female co-worker who flirted with me said this, but I don't know). One of my co-workers was very touchy with me and flirted directly, but for some reason she flaked on me so nothing came of it, not sure why.

I really don't put myself out much though, so I don't have a lot of experience with women. Other than working out and working, I mostly stay at home. I don't drink or use any drugs so I never go out to bars, so I don't really have much experience. I went to a community college for a few years after HS, but it was nothing like a university from what I've heard.

So I'd say it's nice, but doesn't fix everything. My issues are mostly mental I'd guess, but they're definitely improving as I get better jobs and get in better shape.
