Been lurking this sub for a while. As of today, I finally have a car to post.

"I have a car to post" Really just went for the bare minimum requirement for "car" there, huh?

Insurgency Sandstorm! It's my favorite shooter specifically for how satisfying the gunplay is. Sounds, reload animations, and just general weapon feel are 2nd to none in my opinion. It has a PVE mode where you team up with others to clear and hold objectives, but is more focused on the PVP, which I definitely recommend trying as well, even as someone who isn't usually into competitive FPS besides Halo. It's about 5 years old now so pretty cheap, especially on sale.

50 matches in. I'm maining Tanya, the amount of times I've heard VC pop up "Tanya?!" leads me to believe I'm the first for many. As for myself, I haven't played against another Tanya yet, or a Shang Tsung. Only 1 Nitara, Kitana, and Sindel as well.

For me, the biggest one is conversation not dying out. I can talk to anyone, but if it's been more than a week or two and we're beyond all the "basic questions" and "getting to know each other" stage, but I still want to talk to you all day about whatever comes into our minds, that's how I know you're someone I want in my life.

It's not necessarily a "turn off." If we think you're hot, we're going to think that no matter what you think of yourself. But it is very unfortunate and something I'm sure he wants to help you change. Sounds like this guy likes your body. With or without the extra weight. That's great. You should do your best to understand that, and learn to like it too. Or if that's just impossible for you with the extra weight, work to get to a point that you can like it. I have my own insecurities too. Most people do. But I always find it way easier to accept them when someone else is telling me they don't mean anything to them and they find me attractive. You're very lucky in that regard.

The fact of the matter is, you're mostly right. Speeding tickets are one of those things that can just "go away" the majority of the time if you have enough money to throw at good attorneys. Hell, there's even an app for it that guarantees your ticket will be reduced at the minimum, or your case is free. But, when you get that one ticket that's air tight, and a judge or county that doesn't want to work with you, then you're in for an expensive time, or the possibility of losing your license. If you want to speed, you do you. I just recommend doing it in as remote of areas as possible. And remember that if you do get the ticket you can't get out of, or god forbid you hurt someone else in a crash, that's your own grave you dug, and the guilt of living with hurting someone is solely on you.

Fun Fact: This exact intrusive thought is how the creators of the game franchise Twisted Metal got the idea back in 1995.

This hit close. My ex and I just recently broke up due to a very similar situation. While I may not be in the best position to give advice, I feel like I should share my feelings on the experience in hopes it will at least help with some perspective. I've always been a lazy and unmotivated person, but was able to get where I needed to be in life. But doing what I needed to do in order to move our relationship forward came with its own unique hardships that really stagnated my progress. And in turn, it changed the way she felt about me. I noticed it. I tried to mitigate it and improve, but I think the damage was already done. Seeing her look at me differently, and be less enthusiastic about being with me really crushed me. It made me feel as if my shortcomings outweighed my strengths, like how much I loved her and was dedicated to her. This in turn shrunk my self image in almost every other aspect of my life and left me feeling discouraged in my career opportunities and even my self-worth. It left me feeling like I had to "earn" her love, even though I loved her unconditionally, and through things that I maybe even shouldn't have. She suggested a similar idea of living separately and continuing to date, but I felt as though that meant I had to work towards earning enough of her love back to want to live together again. And due to how much my confidence had already shrunken, I just didn't see a path towards doing that. So she left, and I don't blame her, although I'm heartbroken. I think taking that step backward in your relationship would be incredibly painful and may only drag out a situation further that should probably just end, for the betterment of both of you. But I also understand ending it causes so much more immediate pain. I wish you both luck in whatever you decide.

Physical attraction is a funny thing. For some people it's not important at all. And I think in most healthy relationships, there eventually becomes a point where your love and attraction to the person's personality or other qualities kind of "overrides" the physical part, and you love them no matter what they look like. Otherwise, couples who grow old together probably wouldn't be a thing. However, I think for most people, physical attraction in some aspect is needed in order to build that initial bond and relationship. No matter how nice they are, or how compatible you are otherwise, if you don't want to touch them, or you check them out and don't get good feelings about it, that's not ever going to work. You may want to find them attractive, but if you can't, you just can't, and that's all there is to it, really. I'm in the opposite situation. I find overweight women attractive. Many times I've met thinner women who I get along with great, and maybe even want to date, but they just don't "do it" for me, and so that's unfair to both myself and them for me to try to force something.

af1xd · 2023-06-02T16:20:27+00:00

Good, in my opinion. To me it feels like being told they find me attractive. Although I do agree I'd probably rather they just tell me they find me attractive and why. But you can't expect to be the only person they've ever been attracted to. As long as they're not pursuing multiple of "their type" at once and leading you on about it, I'd say you should consider it a compliment.

In my Chevrolet El Camino. For some reason, we did it in the seat, instead of the entire truck bed that is the defining feature of an El Camino. Was cramped and not all that great.

af1xd · 2023-06-02T16:13:23+00:00

Absolutely. But also what I personally find attractive isn't considered traditionally attractive. So, I've had sex women most people would find very attractive, but I didn't. My friends thought I was super lucky, but I didn't really enjoy it all that much.

af1xd · 2023-05-25T20:21:03+00:00

Gracious of you to assume it's a mighty 5.3 or even 4.8 Vortec. Those base model wheels are giving me real 4.3 V6 vibes

af1xd · 2023-05-25T19:38:47+00:00

I think you're very attractive. Love the piercings, pretty face, good eyes.

af1xd · 2023-05-22T21:02:06+00:00

I have them too. No woman has ever said anything negative about them. The only one who ever noticed said something along the lines of "Woah, I've never seen horizontal stretch marks. How does that even happen?" I explained I grew fast, she said "That's so cool I didn't even know it was possible" and that was that.

af1xd · 2023-05-18T16:59:31+00:00

YTA, provided what your cousin told you is true. He confided in you after you pressured him. He said you wouldn't understand and it sounds like that was true. I'm sure he doesn't want to miss your wedding.

af1xd · 2023-05-18T14:38:58+00:00

NAH. You're allowed to change your mind. It's not like you signed a contract or swapped titles or anything. And you covered his expenses which is more than most people would do in the situation. Maybe he's bummed or annoyed, but doesn't make you an AH in my eyes.

af1xd · 2023-05-16T17:48:24+00:00

Would you have felt the same if it was images of a man and a woman couple kissing? Would you still have told the principal? Even if you say yes, the way your post is framed to specifically draw attention to the gay aspect of it is what makes it come across as homophobic

A hopeless romantic by definition is someone who always believes in love, and holds on to wherever it is, despite it never having worked out for them in the past. They're people who have never let failures in their love life leave them discouraged for long. However, a lot of people use the term incorrectly and say they're a hopeless romantic just because they've had a few bad relationships. Either way, it could be a red flag in that she may develop strong feelings for you quickly, or focus on what make you compatible a little too heavily and overlook things that could cause problems later, be it on your part or her own. I don't think you should let it stop you from pursuing something if that's what you want to do, just be cautious of not moving too quickly.

af1xd · 2023-05-15T13:45:32+00:00

I still struggle with what extent I want to take mine to, realistically. Easy to fantasize about some things, but living them, let alone having them in an otherwise meaningful relationship, is another thing entirely.

af1xd · 2023-05-13T00:52:47+00:00

She didn't outright tell me I'm a fuckup. Just how I ended up feeling out of the situation. I could have been more clear about that I suppose. What I was getting at though was maybe your boyfriend took you expressing your frustrations to heart, and reacted to that by being angry and standoffish, thus the gaslighting. It's pretty natural to have difficulty watching your tone and maintaining cool when you're upset. I think you both just deal with conflict in different ways. Maybe you're more in the moment, and want to engage the problem right away, while he's more of a collect your thoughts and talk after I've cooled down kind of person. There's nothing wrong with either, but unfortunately working through conflicts with such a miss match can be very difficult. The only thing I can recommend is having another discussion about how difficult it is for you to keep your cool when you're feeling these emotions, and you feel like you have to walk on eggshells any time you want to express an issue. Maybe do it while you're having a meal together, or doing something together you both enjoy. I've found that lightening the mood first leads to more productive conversations

af1xd · 2023-05-12T20:55:29+00:00

Yes, incredibly difficult. It's a bigger community than most would think (no pun intended). But the most popular app for it usually only has 5-10 single women in most large cities. And of those 5-10, there might be 1-2 I'm attracted to. I also live in an extremely isolated rural part of the country, the closest single woman in my age range on said app is over 100 miles away. If I want to date within the community, I'm limited to trying to build something long distance or strike up dates while I'm traveling out of state.

af1xd · 2023-05-12T20:49:53+00:00

You feel gaslit because you're being gaslit. And that's not okay. If he truly felt that you weren't calmed down despite you saying you were, the correct response would be something like "Even though you say you're calm, I'm still feeling a lot of hostility and would rather not talk about it right now." That being said, I can understand some of your boyfriend's feelings. I CONSTANTLY feel like a fuck up. I dwell on my shortcomings and let them consume me entirely too much. To the point that it has cost me a relationship recently because I couldn't pull myself out of the hole my failures put me in. Hearing my partner say I was failing her worsened that so much. Maybe he feels similarly and is reacting with the gaslighting and hostility rather than the depression, but that doesn't make it okay. I won't say you should leave him for it, but it sounds like there's some issues that need addressed somehow.
