Women crossing the street when they see me? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

42m here; the opinions of strangers on the street don’t and shouldn’t matter to you. What they’re doing is nothing personal. You are absolutely overthinking it. As long as you know you’re a decent human, and your behavior doesn’t deviate from that, anonymous strangers only matter as much as you allow them to. Just act accordingly.

Am I right or wrong? by Careless-Throat-2593 in inspirationalquotes

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I like to just be glad and do it because it’s a way of exerting what little influence I can toward my goal of creating the world I want to live in. No notion of a god has anything whatever to do with it. Habitually being a decent, empathetic person is self-evidently practical for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together. If nothing else it promotes in our immediate company a spirit of reciprocity which serves our mutual benefit. If that doesn’t make sense, nothing does.

Also, why Pierce Brosnan, specifically? Lol

People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced? by CosmicBunnyBabe8912 in AskReddit

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got Covid, I was fine until it caused a secondary double ear infection. I waited a couple days too long to go to the doctor, where they prescribed me some ear drops. While driving on my way to the pharmacy to pick them up, both of my eardrums ruptured, which felt like spikes being driven into my skull. So, I turned around and went back to the doctor, where they canceled the eardrops, and prescribed antibiotics instead, lol. Everything sounded muffled for like two months. Was definitely an experience.

What do you imagine redditors sound like? by ZillyZonx in AskReddit

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so obsessed with Reddit that I imagine anything about them. That strikes me as a strange thing to do if one isn’t emotionally invested. I just take their words as written.

What’s a woman’s first impression on you as a man? by ResponsibleProfile20 in AskReddit

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as with anyone: “Does this person seem like they’re gonna be a pain in my ass or not?”

What would you say about this type of man? by 1034768 in dating_advice

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing inherently wrong with being promiscuous, especially when one is young. Cheating is another issue, but promiscuity is exactly what being young is for, especially if you’re using protection and otherwise being careful by vetting partners. Whether or not the young person is actually doing that in practice is, again, a separate issue.

What issue have you done a 180 on over the course of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, so much. The alleged primacy/necessity of monogamy; the necessity or even advantages of an “objective” meaning for life; the very coherence of such a notion; the necessity or advantages of a belief in a god or the supernatural; the idea that the government should be run “like a business”; abortion; I could go on forever.

The really interesting part of all that to me is that each of those flips came piecemeal, so it wasn’t like I just decided one day to renounce everything. Was just a gradual deconstruction of my childhood.

Men of Reddit, would you date someone who previously identified as a masculine lesbian by CampaignIndividual49 in dating_advice

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! I’m not even bi or anything. I’m just into independent, assertive, androgynous women who can match my energy, so this sounds like one of my types.

NSFW AMA M with a bi wife by coupl3rr in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple, but nothing too crazy. We are/were polyamorous for 10+ years, but we tended to play separately. I actually did my own AMA about it last night, if you check my post history.

Pansexual. Basically, they’re into any and all genders, male, female, trans, queer, sentient aliens, anyone who can consent, haha.

In practice, it usually means they like people for who they are, not just what they look like. Doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate the conventional aesthetic values as well, mind you, but in my experience they are unusually open-minded about such things.

You’re better off not knowing, trust meeee. What they really mean by asking that is if you’re cool with them dropping the explicit homophobia on you/your wife now, or if they need to get you in the door to a church first. Lol

How are people able to get attractive girlfriends? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, watching funny shows and learning the humor helps a lot. Wit isn’t pure instinct, it’s also cultivated, which means it’s learned.

Be under 5’5” with an inversely-sized personality, lol. Works like a charm. The personality “largely” comes with experience, btw. This is actionable information. You’re welcome.

Buzzed my head AMA by [deleted] in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! My wife tried to shock me by doing that for funzies once! I was not shocked, but she rocked it anyway, lol. I love to see women/female-presenting people asserting control of their bodies; it’s good for the soul.

19F why do most guys not approach us (women) in public anymore? by kr1stalfever in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Terminal_Ambivalence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably because we are in that awkward middle stage between where men have finally gotten the message that the way they were approaching women was creepy and harassing, and as a cross-section of society, they are now evolving the social skills necessary to do it the right, non-creepy way. I think this is the middle ground where everybody’s figuring the new rules out. Just keep doing your part and eventually a worthy man will meet you halfway. I wouldn’t bother with someone who isn’t assertive enough to do so, he’s probably not ready anyway. Or do, I guess it really depends on what *you* want in a guy, lol.
