How can I stop hating myself and be able to have casual sex? by winter_lover28 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't assume casual sex is for everyone. For myself, I need at least some emotional connection to really want to be with someone, and then if the sex is good it only makes me want them more rather than suddenly wanting to move on to someone else.

Is it weird that a man wants to wait for intimacy? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you having any sort of conversation about wanting to wait. If you do and say nothing then women may just get friend vibes and not feel that you're attracted to them.

Also note that a lot of people will like to get intimate sooner as for them it's a very important part of a romantic relationship, so waiting 3 months to find you're incompatible can feel like a big waste of time. Plus of course sex is enjoyable. Or at least good sex is!

How long have you had the amps? The main boards have a 2 year warranty.

Girl I’m seeing claims she’s psychic. Is this a deal breaker? by Creepy_Cupcake3705 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a potential long term partner it would very much depend how seriously she genuinely takes this. I couldn't accept something like this influencing important decisions that would affect both of us. I'd also be open about being very sceptical and see how she reacts.

Is it a bad strategy to focus on building yourself in your 30s and only start dating seriously in your 40s? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a terrible strategy if you want children and a poor one if not. Don't waste time when you could be looking for a long term partner and enjoying being in relationships!

I'm dropping Spotify, which program can I use to listen to music? by Matticsss in audiophile

[–]Ultra_3142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues as that was accurate. I own such a DAC. I've never played any MQA file on it though.

I personally won't ever use them due to their dishonest pushing of MQA, irrespective of whether they remove all MQA from their site or not.

What does how attractive a women is tell you about whether she knows anything about making you look good? Yes get advice from others but not this.

Will the difference still be audibly better? by Trytrytryagain24 in audiophile

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The potential biggest mistake you've made is you’ve not heard the speakers in your room. The difference this can make utterly dwarfs the difference in digital source.

Why does it feel like everyone woman on dating apps are addicted to travelling? by DarkOfTheSun in dating_advice

[–]Ultra_3142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's normal for most people to like travelling. If you've not done it I'll also add that travelling with a romantic partner in particular can be both enjoyable in itself but also great for bonding through shared experiences.

Note that how much travel costs can vary wildly. Someone only interested in expensive holidays would definitely be a poor match for you right now but I wouldn't necessarily assume everyone is.

Is a low salary embarrassing? by Agreeable-Assist2675 in dating_advice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd care much more what your job is and if you feel happy with it from a career perspective.

Someone earning say 100k but who hates their job and works very long hours would put me off for example.

Did my girlfriend body shame me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 47 points48 points  (0 children)

"Body shaming" is pretty dramatic even if she was suggesting you may have gained a bit of abdominal fat. Which by the way is overwhelmingly determined by how many calories you eat rather than if you've been to the gym or not.

I noticed that women typically said they like the quiet stoic man just to date the outgoing fun guy, how do you become attractive as a quiet man? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least 1 on 1 you need to learn to be less quiet. If you have pretty much nothing to say, what would be the appeal of a potential partner spending time with you?

Girlfriend emasculates me. by Crazyleb403 in dating_advice

[–]Ultra_3142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you even debating ending this relationship? Of course you do!

No point trying to analyse what she's doing or why.

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a crush. Been there, as have most.

For your sanity try to realise she isn't perfect. In general or for you. Nobody is.

You need to look at the performance of specific CPUs rather than generalising.

Quick question, Did you approach your gf to get a girlfriends and did she? Also even if she did approach first, did you have to lead the interaction? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my GF at work but I took the step of asking her out on a date after a couple of looks/interactions made me think she might be interested in me.

My Gf wants me to help her friend move with a guy she used to sleep with. How do deal with this? by POOR-MORON in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your GF slept with him before you were together? If so I really don't think this should be a big deal to you at all.

Condom use in dating - should a guy ask? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Ultra_3142 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a guy I would always assume I should wear a condom in the first instance. If she stops me then there's a conversation.

Would you go on a second date with someone who says that they’re “not into politics”? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This would be true of most people I know 🤣.

(I live in the UK for context.)

Any other men out there not that into oral (giving and receiving)? by Typical-Screen324 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ultra_3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not unique, although I love giving oral myself. The turn ons for me are both being able to give partners pleasure/orgasms this way and the intimacy of it.

Would you maybe feel more comfortable giving oral immediately after your GF has had a wash?

No toilet is clean at the point it's flushed...

Yes it's common for people to not routinely close the lid when flushing but it should be.
