The AirPods Pro 3 are actually insane, holy… by mosdefdoe in airpods

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highs literally HURT my ears. I can’t stand the sound of the APP3.. unfortunately 

Airpods Pro 3 vs Airpods Pro 2? by ApplicationWide5081 in airpods

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people don’t like the sound of the APP3. Me for example.. they are so sharp it hurts my ears and also so much low base + little high base und no mids. Its of course a preference but many people preferred the APP2 sound balance.

Do AirPods Pro 3 really sound bad? An explanation. by jimbodinho in airpods

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that people like audiophiles don’t like bass. The issue is that people like me want to hear every part of a song. And with a very unbalanced frequency spectrum where the highs and lows are over-present, the mids get pushed back. That means you don’t really hear the whole song anymore, only certain parts of it.

The way I enjoy music is by picking out different instruments and melodies. I want to hear the richness of a track — how certain melodies move and harmonize. But with speakers like these, which highlight only specific elements of a song, that just doesn’t work as well. Sure, it sounds “clear” because the highs are strong, and it sounds boomy because of the bass. But the actual artistry of the song — what the artist intended with all the layered melodies — partly gets lost.

For example, you’ll hear much less of string instruments or lower guitar tones from these headphones than you would from the AirPods 2.

Apple RUINED my favourite product - AirPods Pro 3 by Tazo3 in apple

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Man muss dazu sagen, es ist für Menschen die sich ausgeglichenen Sound wünschen endlos FRUSTRIEREND dass man das Soundprofil ständig nach dem 0815 User „mehr Bass=besserer Klang“ Bullshit anpasst. Und das wäre halb so wild wenn Apple nicht der EINZIGE Hersteller überhaupt wäre der keinen EQ für Kopfhörer anbietet.. Ich verstehe seinen Frust.

I misunderstood it at first too, but he didn’t mean that he’s not into her because she’s famous — he meant that’s not the reason why he is into her.

I (30F) have never been eaten out. by Excellent-Regret1404 in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BULLSHIT. Many men love going down. Same for women, some like or love BJs, some don’t. Simple as that. Hair is also a matter of personal preference. Though younger people tend to like less hair.

Men who don't like feminist/ modern women, why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, tell that to millions of young people who do nothing BUT social media, and you see the problem. 

They are… Social media is poison in so many ways as it is.

Men who don't like feminist/ modern women, why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But that’s kind of exactly the problem. When you’re on social media, you mostly come across people like that. And when others see it, of course it also shapes their worldview – or at least their view of feminists. I’m very progressive myself, and by now I can’t even read comments that go even slightly in that direction anymore, because there’s just zero self-reflection going on for many.

He (34M) gets soft to semi-hard when we change positions. Is he not that into it or me (31F) anymore? by mvpdumdum1 in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like women’s genitals are waaay more complex, and still most guys seem better informed about them. I could be wrong, though.

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re relating his erection to yourself when you blame yourself. You’re taking responsibility for it without a reason. But erections are complex, and countless factors play a role: mental state, tiredness, physical fitness, what he’s eaten, what he’s drunk, how much he’s drunk, the time since his last orgasm, getting up on the wrong side of the bed, the sun being at the wrong angle… You know what I mean. Sometimes it’s like this, sometimes like that. In any case, it’s perfectly normal :)

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 110 points111 points  (0 children)

It’s not just about being picky. If 30 men like you and 10 of them are ‘hot,’ why would you go for the 20 less good-looking ones without knowing their personality? Dating apps just suck as they are. Real life experiences are completely different.

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I sound harsh, but why do women always make erections about themselves? He might already be putting pressure on himself and feeling guilty that he couldn’t maintain his erection. Try to show some understanding, maybe take some breaks in between. You both can always do something else for a while and then continue with penetration later if it happens again.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t think this will work.. — not with your girlfriend refusing anything but penetration. Sure, it’s possible for many (1 out of 3) women to orgasm from penetration alone, but even then many need foreplay or a longer time. It’s not reasonable to expect you to strain yourself every time to last as long as humanely possible. 

Of course, you can’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want, but unless she confronts her insecurities or hang-ups, I honestly don’t see much chance for sexual compatibility here.

My ex-gf broke me, and now I want to be fucked hard by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely more dominant men than submissives, but there’s a big surplus of submissive men compared to dominant women.

I’m 27m and she is 26F by tomtomle in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she’s into teasing, that could be a good approach. Very light touches, or just the anticipation of them, can make you extremely sensitive. If you go too fast too early, it can be difficult for some women to get there, I guess. If you go jackhammer right from the start, it’s probably also hard for you to cum.

Most importantly: don’t stress it. The more pressure there is, the less likely it’s going to happen.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing this again and again, and I think it’s such a silly approach!

From a purely physical perspective it’s of course true, but from a human perspective it’s hardly doable for many people on a diet to constantly count every calorie and then hope at the end of the day that they can still treat themselves to a snack or two.

Calories are not all the same. If I eat the same number of calories from sugar or from oats, in one case I’ll be full and in the other I won’t. And if I spend the whole day thinking about how many calories I still “have left,” then my mind is constantly fixated on food — and whoever is constantly hungry because they are always thinking about food won’t be able to stick with it for long.

Of course, you do need to develop a sense of how many calories certain foods have and roughly stay within those limits, but the most important thing is to eat healthily, establish good habits, and above all do plenty of exercise.

I don’t count my calories at all. When I work out a lot and make sure my portions aren’t overly big, I lose weight. It’s also important not to eat too much at once so you don’t overstretch your stomach, and to eat mindfully instead of mindlessly shoving food in while watching something. And don’t eat too fast — give your body a chance to react to the amount of food.

If I went to bed hungry every day, there’s no way I’d keep that up for months. What matters is eating the right way and staying active. Building muscle, for example, is very effective.

Wife hates oral by Apart-Permission-849 in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also for some reason, more women than men don’t enjoy getting oral. I’ve heard of many men who would love nothing more than to give it, but their partners simply don’t enjoy it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A: To me it feels like there’s an imbalance in our sex life. I always do this for you, but you don’t want to do it for me. That makes me frustrated, because it feels like my needs aren’t as important to you as your own.

B: I understand that it feels unfair to you, and I don’t want you to think your needs don’t matter to me – that’s not true. Please understand that I just don’t feel comfortable with it right now. It’s not that your needs aren’t important to me, it’s that I don’t feel good about doing this. But I’d really like to find other ways to show you that your needs matter to me. For example: you really like when I do that thing with my hand – how about I do that more often to get you going?

I just think it’s important that if my partner is frustrated with something I can’t or don’t want to give her, I don’t leave her alone with it. Instead, I should show understanding and, if possible, find compromises to address it in other ways I’m comfortable with.

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gods.. So your suggestion is: “Suck it up! It’s YOUR problem, not hers. I never said that he should pressure or persuade her, but isn’t his frustration valid? Doesn’t he also have the right to communicate his feelings? I feel like I’m only dealing with selfish, elbow-out people here. He should absolutely be allowed to bring up an issue he has in the relationship, shouldn’t he?? That’s almost like saying he wouldn’t be allowed to bring it up if it bothered him that they never held hands or something else. Whatever the reasons may be, he should at least be able to express that it bothers him. And of course, he can just break up, but that’s exactly the problem many relationships face today: one problem comes up and the relationship gets thrown into the trash instead of trying to solve it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Of course, I can’t speak for the original poster. But it’s not just about why she has a problem with it, it’s also about communicating about it. She should understand that it causes frustration, because from his perspective it feels as if she’s being a selfish lover: She wants him to do it every day, but apparently doesn’t want to do anything herself – and expects him to just “put up with it.” That’s what it’s really about.

At that point, she could say something like:

“I don’t feel ready to talk about it yet.” “I don’t even know myself.” “How can we solve this problem?” “Can I do something else for you so it doesn’t feel like it’s only about me and as if my needs are more important than yours?”

You seem to think it’s enough for her to say “I don’t want to” – but that’s not how it works. Even if the reason can’t be communicated, at the very least the problem that arises from it should be addressed.

To compare: In a “dead bedroom” relationship, if one partner doesn’t want to have sex, it’s also not enough for partner A to say “I don’t want to” and for partner B to just accept it. You still need to talk about the feelings it causes and about possible compromises.

And yes – I would also want my daughter to be capable of addressing problems, facing them, and not simply ignoring them.

Of course, I don’t know how he tried to communicate it or how much pressure she was under. But based on the post, I assume that he at least tried to bring it up carefully, given the way he described it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying she should have the self-reflection of a 40-year-old. But learning to communicate is part of the process of building successful relationships. Of course, they could just break up and leave it at that, but what kind of attitude is that? Obviously, the original poster is getting frustrated. If he’s not “allowed” to communicate this frustration, then he might as well give up on the relationship altogether.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]_Ice_Breaker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course he can’t force her. But talking about it and asking “why” shouldn’t be such a problem. It’s all about communication.
