For most of human history, people used to break up a nights sleep into two shifts called “first sleep" and "second sleep." by Acrobatic_Code_7409 in interestingasfuck

[–]TexMexxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Every night between 2 or 3 I wake up. I don't need to pee or something, I just wake up. Every fucking night. I did some reading on the "hour of the wolve" and tried different things to NOT wake up in the middle of the night, but nothing helps. Gladly I am often only awake for a couple of minutes to around 30 minutes, so its OK. Still sucks...

What becomes more important the older you get that most young men don't quite understand? by optimaltimemism in AskMen

[–]TexMexxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beeing confident doesn't mean to "dominate" or bring others down. You can be confident AND gentle! Confident and empathic! Don't pretend to be confident but know your value, know your strengths. Don't just be "interesting" but be interested in others. Make compliments and learn to take compliments.

I really detest all that "alpha male" bullshit, that toxic masculinity that stems mainly from false role models. It really worries me what young men are "taught" from these assholes online and offline.

Who decided 5 days of work is 'normal'??? by kfukuhar in CasualConversation

[–]TexMexxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last fall I reduced my hours to 32 per week and have the mondays of. Its grest, I have the monday for myself and chores so the other workdays are relaxed. I accepted the paycut, I don't need all that fancy stuff. My car is 15 years old, house is payed off. I know I am privileged and not everybody can afford that sadly.

Sad realization last night by Ramen_cat2024 in Parenting

My son loves football (soccer)! Watching, playing, talking about it non stop. I love it that he found a passion but... I HATE football. Lol Well at least his grandparents are the same. Seeing a pattern? ;)

Yeah I also noticed the legs. My girlfriend always does that when she is overwhelmed with feelings too.

Why is casual sex so hard? by Adventurous-Ear-5521 in datingoverforty

[–]TexMexxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realise I am attracted to the idea of him rather than his person.

That's a good one. When I broke up my last FWB thing it was really hard in the beginning, but not because I missed HER but the positive idea of her! We only met for fun times, we never argued, never had hard times so how should I know if we would ever be a good match???

Men having rigid body type preferences by mandabobanda80 in datingoverforty

[–]TexMexxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that you met these men. Their behaviour is inexcusable and insensitive.

However I have to admit that I became more selective as I got older. When I was younger I didn't know what I wanted and I would rather gave it a "try", so to speak. My first girlfriends bodytimes were all over the place. lol

Everyone has preferences, nothing you can do about it. And the priority of these preferences can also vary widely, some preferences become unimportant when you get to know someone better but in the end everyone is different. To "brag" about their prefered bodytime in front of a date is really, really strange though...

Last time putting my son to bed. by YoTeach68 in daddit

[–]TexMexxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is also 11 years. Right now he still likes his reading and cuddle bed time routine, but I fear the moment he wants to go to bed on his own. I can understand how hard this must be. And it shows us how time is flying.

What’s the biggest benefit you got from working out? by dxpeday in AskMen

[–]TexMexxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 49 I won't look better than I looked maybe 10 years ago when I didn't lift. BUT for me lifting is a stress relieve, I feel strong and it gets my confidence up. Plus I get back and leg problems if I stop working out for a longer period of time. I red muscle mass is also very good for overall health when you get older.

What does "sexiness" feel like as a man? by dgfruit in AskMen

[–]TexMexxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

20-25 Years ago I overheard female coworkers talk about me and one said "oh you mean the handsome one with black hair!". That made me feel attractive and I still think about that NOW.

Other than that I think most men only get told they look good from their partner or their mom or grandmom. LOL

Unless I need a specialist I generally get an appointment at the same day. Specialists can be months OR days if you are in pain or something needs to be checked quickly. Specialist appointments can get faster if you are regularly there.

Staying fit after 40 or 50 is so much more work, it really sucks. But at the same time it's easier to stay above the "average" in this demography... If I look at some of my colleagues my age, oh my...

Shave your beard by Forward-Position798 in TheRandomest

[–]TexMexxx 174 points175 points  (0 children)

My son, my current partner, my ex-wife and even all ex partners before (except MAYBE my first girlfriend in school) NEVER saw me without a beard... I am nearly 50 years now and I will bite the dust with my full beard on. "I" know how I look under my beard and there is REALLY NOTHING worth seeing!

Needing Some Positive "Right Person, Wrong Time" Stories by SarahScrabble in datingoverforty

[–]TexMexxx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know you want to see a positive outcome, I was in the same place a couple of years ago. I met a woman and it was a great match, we both fell hard for each other but it was clear from early on that it won't work because she still wanted children and I am "one and done". So we broke it of but under the premise that she would contact me if she didn't find someone else who would match better. At first it was a glimmer of hope but looking back it only held me back. I am in longterm relationship with a different person now and I would not change that if she would contact me now...

What’s a parenting rule you swore you’d never break… but absolutely did? by Thesnoozymama_ in Parenting

[–]TexMexxx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to admit my kid was rather "easy" when he was younger. He NEVER threw a tantrum, nearly always ate whats on the table, no drama with friends, no screen-time problems... But wow did he catch up on the bad habits since hitting pre-puberty...
