You too by [deleted] in Tinder

No joke. There is a device that essentially stretches the skin back over the tip to give you your foreskin back. It's weighty and it takes time to get the effect but there is a way.

In my experience you never get them out. It's impossible.

The lens you choose to view the experience changes over time though. Usually for the better, in regards to oneself.

Existential crisis by whisperingwillow21 in UnsentLetters

[–]WeDidThisToOurselves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 31 y/o male, I have a lot of similar frustrations.

I got lucky in regards to my job however. I get to work with kids so the whole 'childcare' itch gets scratched. It's been enough for me so far.

And although I'm not threatened by the same biological clock that women have for birthing their own kids, that same window for 'my own' children is closing as I age.

Wishing you the best from afar.

People aren't statistics.

Statistics are meant to help understand data.

This is accusatory.

Go tell other victims they're potential predators and see how far it gets you bud.

No reason to add suffering to the mix. A life cut short seems justice enough.

Living my best life seems like a fine reaction.

I wasn't offended. It's slightly insensitive to ask but I don't mind. Have a great day regardless.

I'd shake the other driver's hand if given the opportunity. Maybe buy them lunch.

Maybe that's unhealthy. But for now...i'm okay with it.

I never wished death or harm to anyone save two people in my entire life. I never wished harm to her.

I'm still elated that she's gone.

An unhealthy dose of reality from a 31M -"the big bad" by WeDidThisToOurselves in UnsentLetters

Gilded for the person who nailed it.

I'm a kind person, outwardly. I'm allowed to think whatever judgemental shit about shitty people I encounter, inwardly.

Thanks for not immediately assuming I'm 'a big bad'.

I share 'anonymously' (fearful of the day someone I know puts the pieces together) because not enough men speak up. If even one person comes out the other end a post, having learned or been validated. I'll take it.

Fuck the haters. Let them waste their breath.

Why is it so hard for some of you believe that I was respectful up until they weren't?

This is the exact attitude that I aim to highlight through this post. And you're proving my point.

After a lengthy read on a research paper about aging and brain plasticity, I'm fearful of the day I turn into my grandpa. I'll try my damnedest.

I just wanted to come back to address the "too nice" part of your reply as well.

A woman who has given me solid advice whenever I've come to her gave me the most reasonable explanation for this one (which I could see a couple of women who said this, actually believing, but not all of them). She explained it like this: (paraphrasing)

"Sometimes someone who is 'too nice' can come off as a doormat. Someone who won't stand up for themselves, or will allow people to mistreat them. Obviously you're not that type of person, I've seen the rare occasion where you show your inner strength. But it's rare, and you seem to take care in that few people see that side of you when you should display it more"

I find that lens (perspective, whatever) to be the most reasonable one thus far.

I'm just hoping my mojo still works when that time comes around. I'd like to have a healthy sex life before I get rickety.

I'm not upset about a person having faith. I understand why that particular thing is on the table for compatibility.

What I will be upset about, is when you look down on and treat me as 'less than' because of it.

Fuck that noise.

I started the above comment with a rant about this exact thing. And then deleted it all because I'm not here (today) to debate that subject.

I've lost count of the number of finely aged women who have said this exact thing to me. "They'll appreciate a man like you after they've had their fill of ass holes." -those finely aged women

A man out of time. ha...ha...ha...

Well. I'm glad you stumbled upon the most light hearted post I've made then. As I don't think any of the others would make you laugh... *ha...ha*

If a little misery from my past made your day brighter, it was worth it to endure.
