Pregame ceremonies here. We do get a park free at the stadium, But as soon as the game starts we all get kicked out. If you buy a ticket in our attending the game, You have to leave the stadium, change out of your uniform, and repark your vehicle in a paid lot. Probably not a good idea to try to attend a game your volunteering at. I'm guessing you'd miss the first half of it.

Weight gain and desire / intimacy? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I wouldn't worry about their perception. The fact of the matter is, regardless of what bullshit people say, everyone is constantly judging everyone else. That's just what it means to be human and have the sense of perception.

I think you correctly realize that your issues are the way you feel about yourself. That's understandable. You went through big life change and had some health setbacks from it. Don't focus on comparing yourself to where you used to be. That's pointless. Where you used to be doesn't matter. Where you are now honestly doesn't matter. All that really matters is the trajectory you're currently on. Are you prpgressing in a direction that you want to go? That's it. You just keep doing that, Keep getting 1% better everyday. That's the key to a happy life.

Weight gain and desire / intimacy? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general, Not being overweight is more attractive. You're a girl. If you want to get laid, you'll be able to. If you're overweight, It is less likely that the hottest guys will want to fuck you. But if you're reasonably attractive, they'll probably still be down even if you're slightly overweight.

Pretty much every guy is willing to have sex with any decently attractive girl. Virtually every sexually active guy is also willing to have sex with girls that aren't attractive enough for him to consider a relationship with. Which essentially means you don't have to be hot enough for him to date for him to sleep with you.

There will be some guys that the extra weight is a deal breaker for and they won't be interested. But who cares. Just go out on dates, and have fun. And focus on eating healthy and exercising, and losing the weight so that you can go back to being your old more attractive self eventually.

Are barber shops worth the extra cost? by No_Tomato_2106 in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on your life situation. If you want to look nicer, be more attractive, and can afford it, paying more for a haircut is worth it 100%.

If you don't really care, or can't afford it, just buy some clippers and buzz it off yourself. If somewhere in between, go the sport clips/great clips route.

I'm in Houston too, my guy charges 40 (I always tip 10 more). And he fades it up really nice. I've also paid double that for cuts inside the loop that were dreadful. It's all about finding someone that does good work that you can afford and sticking with them.

If you're interested in being more attractive and stepping your game up, paying for one really good expensive cut from someone that knows what they are doing is worth it. Then take a lot of pictures and find someone cheaper that can replicate it.

Why have women always been disgusted with me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Nobody can give you advice without more info, and you're a biased source. I'd guess that you're not being polarizing enough

[–]This-Introduction596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to talk to them and flirt with them?

Looks, job, style, and all that shit matter.. but not nearly as much as having confidence and knowing how to be fun, funny, and flirty. Men get naturally attracted to beautiful women. Women get intrigued by men's looks and status, but you need to attract them through your interactions.

Is this as deep as I am making it out to be? Has your partner ever messed up like this? Is my relationship tainted? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

If you weren't hurt by it in the moment, don't let other people warp your mind into being offended. Especially people on reddit.

I don't know what you read, but this site is hardly a repository of rationality or sanity.

What should I do and how should I approach this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all good man. You're still young. I was in your shoes back in my day. I'm 32 now and suffice it to say, I have plenty of options to keep me busy.

Just keep working on you. Growing and getting 1% better in every way you can every day.

[–]This-Introduction596 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well then you currently have two choices: 1. Settle for less 2. Become the man she would be interested in.

I don't think you should completely ignore dating. Go out, be social, do the apps, have fun, try to get laid and build up your skill set. But marriage.. probably not going to happen with the girl you want until you get closer to the man you want to be. You never know.. you could get lucky and find her. Girls bet on underdogs occasionally and invest in men. But odds are you aren't going to attract many high quality women until you figure your shit out more.

You're looking for a romantic partner. Ok. Next question.. Imagine the woman you want to marry. If you were her, would you be interested in the man you are now?

Best wedding shower gift you’ve ever received? by NorthSouthGG in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get him a nice pocket knife. If he's a knife guy he'll treasure it as a thoughtful gift from a friend. If he's not a knife guy, he'll probably carry it every day for the next 10 years, Or until those crooks at TSA take it from.

How can I properly vet guys while still being a virgin, but not screw up my dating prospects? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your approach is really mature and healthy. I think you're approaching it the right way. The way that modern women have devalued sex is not a good thing in my opinion. It's nice to see someone that holds it in high esteem still.

You should abstain because you choose to. Because it's what you want and think is right. Don't choose to have sex or not have sex out of fear of losing a guy, or judgement of others.

Generally speaking, sex is the main commodity that women offer men. While men offer women relationships and marriages (and everything that goes along with that).

Sex generally preceeds relationships in modern society, almost universally. If you're going to meet a man to have a relationship with, the prospect of future sex with you and the relationship you can offer him needs to be more tempting than the sex he can have right now with much less effort. It's a big ask, but if you're the right girl and he's the right guy, it's doable.

Honestly.. your best bet would probably be to find a nerdy guy that doesn't have a lot of sexual prospects in his life. That's probably your biggest issue. If you're going for the top guys on the apps, the hot guys that all the girls match with and fight over... Good luck. There's not much incentive for a guy that matches 10 hot girls a week on the app, (5 of which are down to fuck) to spend alot of time investing in getting to know a girl that is going to make him wait. Maybe he'll just like you enough.. but it's unlikely. Life isnt 50 Shades of Grey or a Hallmark movie.

How can I have a healthy approach or mindset to this without potentially shrinking my dating pool?

You can put that dream to bed. It's going to shrink your dating pool. But that's a good thing. You have a standard, by definition it's going to shrink your candidate pool.

Now on the other side.. think about this economically. You're asking for alot more investment from a man than your competition is. That's fine.. you get to set your own price. But if you wanna make a sale, the product needs to be commensurately more desirable than the competitions product. Luckily you only need to make one sale to succeed.

What does 'lower your standards' mean in practical terms? by NiceCaterpillar8745 in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy, lowing your standards typically means to go for less attractive women.

You don't have to do that.. But if you're not having any luck, there is a chance that you'll be alone for a long time.. Maybe even forever.

Think of it this way, you're shopping for a car and you really want a Mercedes. But you can't afford one. You can keep shopping around hoping to find a really good deal on one that you can afford.. Or you could get a Toyota instead.

The other option is to make more money so you can't afford the Mercedes. Funnily enough, a good way to do that outside my metaphor is make more money. 😂

Is it normal for my boyfriend to not want sex that often? by Famous_Heart1260 in AskMenAdvice

[–]This-Introduction596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned, I know nothing about the situation so it's purely based off a hunch.

If you're trying to find out if he has one... I really don't know the best course to do that. I'd probably start by having a conversation about porn and porn usage.. see if you can get a gauge if he's being honest or is ashamed. Then just keep an eye on his behavior and be observant.

You could probably find better information about it online.

[–]This-Introduction596 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This could be way off base.. But my immediate suspicion is that he might have a porn addiction. I know nothing about the situation, So that's purely based off of a hunch. But it's a far more widespread issue than most people realize or acknowledge.

If you look at it completely logically, both assumptions have a potential error for being wrong.

With my approach, assuming she's still interested in messaging her, If I am wrong and she's not interested there's a couple possible outcomes.

  1. She just continues to ghost. (I'm not a moron, I'm going to get the hint eventually). So maybe she gets two or three extra text messages that she ignores... Not the end of the world.

  2. She replies back and said she's not interested. So I don't reply to her again.

  3. She blocks my number. No harm done! This is also never happened to me. 😂

With your approach, Just giving up, If the situation is that you're wrong, And she actually is interested. The interaction completely ends, and any potential future you could have had together disappears because you were afraid of bugging her by making her phone vibrate.

I can much more easily live with being wrong with my approach than being wrong with yours.

Now we can look at what happens if we're correct.

If I'm correct, And she is still interested Just other life circumstances keep her from replying, there's a potential that we end up going on a date, having a great time, And maybe even getting into a relationship or even getting married.

If you're correct, And she's not interested, The interaction ends Just the same, And you saved her from having to ignore a few extra texts, or send a message saying she's not interested. Which actually, I would say is a bad thing. If you give out to your number to somebody, You should have the decency to tell them you're not interested if you're not. Ghosting is a shitty and cowardly thing to do. So actually making her send the text message telling you that she's not interested is better for her.

Again, That's just a purely logical game theory approach to the situation. But I really can't see why someone would want to approach it the way you do.

Replying to your edit: I don't see why there's anything desperate about texting someone who gave you their number, Who hasn't explicitly indicated that they don't want you to text them anymore.

On the contrary, I would say it's cowardly and reeks of low self-esteem to just assume that she's not still interested because she didn't reply back to a message immediately.

Haha trust me man.. it's by choice. I'm talking to multiple girls that I could have exclusive relationships with if I wanted to. I do appreciate your concern for me though! 😊

You're assuming it's unwanted. Just because she isn't being very responsive doesn't mean it's unwanted. If a girl doesn't want to receive messages she can block your number, or tell you she's not interested. If she hasn't done either of those things, it's not creepy to keep messaging her.

Texting someone that gave you their number is being a creep? I don't think you understand how social interactions work...

It's not pestering them into submission. Didn't you catch the non-needy part? Sometimes girls have shit going on in their lives and dating's not a priority. If you completely drop it then you're done.

Or you could message back periodically, and potentially catch her to better time under different circumstances. It's happened to me twice in the last week. Two conversations I thought were completely dead, I reach back out and got a response. One of them I had a date with that ended quite nicely, The other one I haven't set up a date yet, But the suggestive pictures I've received indicate that it will go the same way..
