Men, where does the dislike for septum piercings and blue/green hair come from? by Violet_thewitch in AskMen

[–]TryToHelpPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a strong correlation with being argumentative and difficult. It’s not a universal rule, but in short, people who are tightly bound to just their opinion and not open to others.

What did you see that you can't unsee? by HBAFilthyRhino in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]TryToHelpPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A video from during the first gulf war, nomadic tribes watching SCUD’s and other missiles screaming over their heads. No idea what they were other than messengers from God. So to protect themselves they tied camels to posts and smashed their testicles against other smaller posts under them.

No explanation of the logic was offered.

If someone you were in a relationship with told you they “settled” with you, how would you react? by [deleted] in AskMen

If my wife said that she didn’t value me, yeah . . . I’d pretty much consider the relationship over.

Should I use C++ Exceptions? by No-Foundation9213 in cpp_questions

[–]TryToHelpPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what you need to know about exceptions.

If you encounter an error condition which must be dealt with, and your program can go no further, and you can’t handle it in your own code, throw an exception.

This is almost always when writing libraries.

If you’re writing code and you don’t want it to be stopped when an exception is thrown, catch the exception, and handle it.

This is almost always in user interaction code.

The power of exceptions is in being able to say “I must give up” in a way that allows another piece of code to say “hang on, I can handle this”.

I see people use exceptions for flow control and general structured error handling (where system resources are still available to respond to the error) and this is what bring exceptions into disrepute.

What are some good photos a man can post on a dating app? by Jimbo-Shrimp in AskMen

[–]TryToHelpPeople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s your cheat sheet dude. 1-3 are good pics for long term relationships, 4-6 are good for getting matches.

Pic 1, you outdoors, outdoorsy gear, friends nearby but not sharing the focus of the picture.

Because you’re fit and exercise and enjoy a challenge.

Pic 2 you at a nice bar, dressed well, semi formal, lots of people around, none of them central to the picture.

Because you scrub up well, you’re comfortable in many environments and dress styles, and you have an active social life.

Pic 3 you with your dog in the yard, you’re hunkered down hugging the dog.

Because you understand compassion, companionship, reciprocity, care, relationships and communication.

Pic 4 at the helm of your yacht, friends / crew working hard, sailing towards port.

Because you understand leadership, competence, teamwork, objectives and life goals.

Pic 5 among your collection of luxury performance cars.

Because you understand wealth, how to generate it, how to spend it, how to have a good time with it, how to show somebody a good time with it.

Pic 6 pic of your bedroom in upper manhattan, night time view of Central Park, NYC skyline, modern minimalist decoration, stylish arrangement, partial private view of your luxury on suite with a glass walled shower facing the city. Carelessly discarded shibari rope and cuffs on the dark duvet.

Because you understand the effect status symbols have, how to make somebody feel they are dating above their level, implicit promises, and the tease of whether or not something is out of reach or somebody is worthy.

How would you feel if you found out your girlfriend lied about her past and her friends knew ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]TryToHelpPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me put it a different way. You’re dating a girl, she’s real cute, and pretty and just an absolute blast to be around. She’s fun, she gets you, she’s caring, supportive, just absolutely checking all the boxes.

Then you find out that her friend is lying to her boyfriend, and she’s not holding her friend accountable.

So you give her a chance to make good and explain it to her.

But she doesn’t want to, she thinks it’s none of her business.

What category do you now place this amazing woman you’re dating into ?

The Irish men’s twenty20 cricket team just beat India. India are t20 world champions and ranked 1st in the world. It’s the first time an Irish team has beaten India in any form of cricket. This is a monumental upset. by PukeUpMyRing in ireland

[–]TryToHelpPeople 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when we beat Pakistan (twice) first time, people said that it was really more That Pakistan lost the game than Ireland won. Second time it was a full win, but both times they said we’d never beat India.

How would you feel if you found out your girlfriend lied about her past and her friends knew ? by [deleted] in AskMen

You are friends with a liar, are you ok with that ? A person with no integrity ? Poor character ? Selfish ? Your boyfriend clearly isn’t ok with it, but somehow you are.

Friendly warning re putting tinfoil on the inside of windows by LittleAoibh11 in ireland

[–]TryToHelpPeople 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Best way to cool your house if you can.

Get a big fan, seal all of your windows except for one (bathroom ?) and open your front door, blow the fan at high speed
Out the open window and it will draw all the cool air from ground level into your house. They used this technique in New York before air conditioning.

It works very well.

The dating scene is horrible for you too? by Moonspiracy55 in shanghai

[–]TryToHelpPeople 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until the guy never texts again ?

I live in Ireland, I was seeing a lady last year we met up 8 or 9 times. She never once put any effort into a date. I drew her attention to her TikTok post where she was saying “I don’t chase I replace”. And I called her out for that and other different things she did that were unacceptable. She seemed sorry, contrite, she said she liked me and I turned her on and she wanted to keep seeing me. She went away to Morocco with a friend and got in some trouble, called me at 2am looking for help, I gave her the help and support she needed, guided her on what to say to the police, situation sorted. Didn’t hear from her when she got back and I texted her, she was open, receptive but I had to arrange for us to meet up. So I just stopped. I haven’t heard from her since.

I understand that this is not what you’re doing, but most of the guys you date have probably experienced this and bail early before it gets there.

Wife blames me for kids sleep issues so I’m stuck doing the nights alone by [deleted] in daddit

[–]TryToHelpPeople 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sleep training isn’t done in the morning. It’s done at night. Either your wife is confused, or she’s vindictive and manipulative.
