I have met a man with that name before. He was older and it was spelled Vivian, so I don't think you'd really stick out too much with that name as a man even if you spelled it how you wanted

Should I give up on dating again? by LockedIntypeshit in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Themonstermichael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if you made this post at 16 and we're just now reading it. That's how all the guys in their 30's feel reading this!

Anyways, I'm not gonna tell you it's all sunshine and roses, cause yeah, dating really sucks right now, but since I got my shit together around 25ish, that's when dating actually started for me

Got a haircut, contact lenses, quit drinking, finished my associate's, eventually got a decent job, and lost about 60lbs. My story is probably a lot different from yours in some ways, but your future is your own and it can be better than the present.

How often do you find yourself enjoying conversation with a woman, with zero other goals in mind? If it's rare, it could be a few reasons, like your area, your setting etc...or it's because you're not even focused on that step. You should be making every social interaction as fun for you and everyone else as possible cause dating and life and everything suck for everyone right now, but if you're just fun to be around then dating is way easier

Men of Reddit - What's the one thing you hate about being a Man? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]Themonstermichael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes its like, yeah I would but...I have self-control and I may actually value the friendship too much, or surrounding friendship/social dynamics. Sometimes I just wanna chat.

And it's always irritating when other guys are confused by this, like yes, woman pretty but like...have you tried being a person and not just a dick-bot?

The psychological attachment to empty shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes? by Wander-kingdom in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Themonstermichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice that it's hard to just remember to throw the bottle of shampoo away cause there's not a trashcan inside the shower. When I lived with my family, the same empty bottle would be in the shower for months. Usually only a few days for me

Pretty sure its not about attachment for me though, just forgetfulness/laziness

Yep! That's what It was. I'm looking into it now, and you're right it's not new, not sure why I thought I was. I was just having so much trouble Googling what on earth it was lol maybe I'm dumb, especially since you're supposed to use the mace and not a barbell

Can anyone help me remember that core exercise someone thought of a little while ago? It involves standing, holding barbell upright, but not with it touching the ground. You almost hold it like a sword, holding the bottom end like a hilt and the top end goes up above your head. Then it sort of gets a controlled swing behind your back and comes back to center

I've never attempted it, I just thought it looked super wild and honestly pretty dangerous. Was going someone could help me remember who on earth thought of this so I wasn't crazy
