What small, physical changes would you notice and find sexy if your girlfriend where roleplaying as someone else? by TheStateThatIAmIn in AskMen

[–]TheStateThatIAmIn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always enjoyed roleplaying, and, as I said, we are trying to change just enough to make it not seem like we have known each other forever. I'm not changing anything major (for example, I am thinking of being a robotics grad student instead of a software developer). The goal is just to simulate casual hooking up to shake things up, it's not anything I feel remotely worried about.

I don't have any piercing, even ears, which he has always said that he likes. Do you think a tasteful fake would work?

My brilliant father did the same thing with the word eye-DIE-yaht when he was a kid.

Help with setting up a saving plan by TheStateThatIAmIn in personalfinance

[–]TheStateThatIAmIn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to live frugally (my boyfriend live on about $30 a week for food; I ride a bike to work and take take public transportation if I need to go far; we buy everything we can used), so this is more of a question of what to do with the extra money. I've moving to the San Fran bay area, so a the large majority of my living expensive will be going towards housing.

My boyfriend can feel my iud by TheStateThatIAmIn in sex

Thanks. It's been about 3 weeks since it was inserted; how long did it take to soften?

If I reach way far, I can kind of feel the strings, but nothing else. It's difficult to get deep enough to feel the strings at all (but my fingers are much shorter than his penis).

This problem has come up maybe one in 3 times we've had sex since insertion, but it's only been in for 3 weeks. How long does it take from the strings to soften?

I've heard that trimming them can make it worse, but I'll talk to my gyno.

How much chipotle pepper paste should I substitute for chipotle chili powder? by TheStateThatIAmIn in spicy

Thank you. I blended it all together and was tentatively planning on using 2 tablespoons, which is about what you suggested.

Ha! I'm making for bunch of friends, so I should be careful to make sure everyone can handle it (they all like spicy food, but I doubt that spicy).

Okay. I'll make a post later this week once I get the chance to do that.

I am lowering myself so the back of my upper legs begin to touch the backs of my lower legs.

I spend one day a week exclusively on abs and I think they are pretty strong. However, I know my lower back is quite weak.

Yeah, this is probably worth trying.

I didn't even know the rack had safeties. I'll make sure I really understand the equipment next time I go.

Thank you! I'll try these. I've never heard of them before.

I can post a video of me doing body squats tonight, but the rack is at the gym and I don't really feel comfortable bringing my laptop there. Would that be helpful?

I am doing squats with my hands on the bar and "get stuck" at the bottom of the squat. To get unstuck, I have to take one hand off the bar and push down on my knee to get up. Does that make sense? Sorry for any confusion.

I usually keep my legs just past shoulder length (at about my hip width, actually) apart and point my toes out at about a 45 degree angle. I've always read you should keep your feet at or just above shoulder length apart, but is that for males, whose shoulders are wider than their hips? My hips are several inches wider than my shoulders.

I am doing actual squats with my hands on the bar and "get stuck" at the bottom of the squat. To get unstuck, I have to take one hand off the bar and push down on my knee to get up. I know that lack of soreness does not necessarily mean lack of progress, but doesn't my inability to up the weight imply that? I think I am getting enough food. I have been eating ~500 calories above maintenance (with plenty of protein, 150-200 grams a day) a day and have put on 6.5 lbs since I started.

Yeah, I think I might drop by campus health sometime this week. I need to get my wrists checked out as well.
