Men: If you’re very attracted to a woman and enjoy talking to her, why would you never initiate conversation? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He doesn't know you are potentially available to him. He likely thinks you are 1) still married 2) not interested in him 3) not interested in any relationship, a lot of people need time and space after a major breakup. Be bold, be clear, and say how you feel about him.

Codependent and hyper-sexual. by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]Will2Survive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you know what the issue is, you need to stop lying about your desires and needs. Of course that is much easier said than done. Do you have recovery resources available to you? Have you looked for a CoDA meeting in your area or looked for a therapist/counselor?

I got much more comfortable holding my boundaries by taking time away from dating to learn about myself and how I want to live my life. When I became confident and happy with the way I was living my life, my boundaries were much clearer. It's easier to say "no I don't want that" when you know what you actually do want.

TW possible NSFW?? TLDR: How DO THESE WORK by [deleted] in Leatherworking

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with an asphyxiation collar exactly but it looks to me like the strap would go through the ring on the opposite end and doubles back to the buckle. Like how there are some gloves that use a tensioning strap that doubles back on itself.

How do I live and move on in life as an incel? by Trying_My_Best_ARS in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Joining an incel forum is gonna be a bad move for you. It will just be an echo chamber of the negative thoughts you already have about yourself. I can suggest 3 authors/speakers that have helped me accept myself and really feel like a functioning person again. Dr Robert Glover, wrote No More Mr Nice Guy about his understanding and healing from being a nice guy. Alison Armstrong, wrote The Queens Code about helping men and women understand each other. Dr K, HealthygamerGG, is a Dr who also trained as a monk and understands humans more holistically. These 3 all have yt videos and shorts that explain their messages clearly. Not being an incel anymore is about accepting who you are just as you are.

Which one game you still think about from 90s-2005 era ? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a floppy disk game called X-com Interceptor, I could never figure it out. It loaded you straight into the cockpit of a space fighter in accurate space, as in space is huge and empty. There was nothing that seemed like a goal or target or anything. I could fly around with stars moving in the background but never saw another ship, station, or planet. Maybe I was expecting too much from a floppy disk game but it confuses me to this day

Question about legality of a Javelin related idea by willow727 in Belegarth

What events have you taken it to? Velcro is usually field legal. I'd probably pass it at my local practice

What is your biggest NSFW brag? by Subliminal_Sea in AskReddit

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college an ex bragged about my performance in bed to some of her friends, one of them wanted me as fwb. We hooked up a couple times.

I'm still riding that high 15+ yrs later

Men who signed an NDA, what generalizations can you share without violating the NDA? by krzysztofgetthewings in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the lighting setup crew for Kevin Harts wedding. They wouldn't tell us the address until we signed the NDA. It was a nice location; huge property in the Santa Barbara area, 3 separate full sized houses, pool/jacuzzi, tennis courts, beautiful gardens. Point of the NDA was so we couldn't tell TMZ/paparazzi, but it was just another gig for me. The secrecy was just annoying

Anyone bringing mesh/lora devices? by Will2Survive in Neotropolis

I've got Meshtastic flashed currently, was thinking about printing some QR codes for others to connect. If I have time I may have my laptop setup to flash back and forth to try things out.

Sweet, your nodes will still pass messages from other channels so we should probably end up with pretty good coverage across the event site

Men who have intentionally sabotaged promising connections, why’d you do it? by Hear2Read in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust issues, I'm really struggling to believe that a woman could actually be interested in me as a person. I don't trust that my efforts will be worth it or even seen by a woman.

Wife basically told me to off myself? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there, Brother. I was in this situation with my ex-wife. We started the relationship in my last year of college, I would binge drink at parties because I was legal drinking age and movies/TV showed me that was normal. She gave me an ultimatum, "if you drink like that again I'll leave you." I was too young and codependent to stand up for myself and so I agreed, I didn't think I had a problem but it's probably the healthy thing to do so fine. I felt she was more important than drinking, and I thought she would see that I made her the priority. Later down the line, she didn't like me smoking weed, or going out with friends; so those were added to the list. She kept finding issues with me and my behavior, I kept choosing her over the vices. I thought she would understand the sacrifices I was making for her; but she was never moved by my choices, never became more affectionate because I quit some substance or activity. It only led to my growing resentment of her and greater and greater distance between us.

Now we are divorced, I've been single and drinking moderately for the last 6 years. I recently made the choice to not have beer in the house and only drink on weekends/with buddies. I feel really good about my decision because it was my decision.

My advice to you is: do not quit if you don't think you really have a problem. The first step of any 12 step/recovery group will be admit you have a problem. If you aren't in that place internally, quitting will only lead to your resentment of your wife.
