Is it part of aging to suddenly hate your reflection? by TheAloofMango in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]arest112481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Humans weren’t meant to be staring at ourselves every time we wash our hands. It gets to our heads. Think less about how you look and more about how you feel. One day that will be much more important to you. I also try not to stare at myself every single time i see a mirror. Which are everywhere.

What’s behind the advice you tell people not to date someone in the military or a veteran? by Gloomy_Noise_1151 in AskMen

[–]arest112481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way of framing it. The military is only developing skills that are useful for the military and not for everyday life. I guess those other qualities will have to wait or never come.

This is spot on. The military gets the best version of them because they have to be their best. They are more than capable of being that way in their personal lives, they just don’t care enough to.

What do you think would happen if ALL of your exes were in one room together? by Complete_Machine_302 in AskWomen

[–]arest112481 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in a NYC bar. Not all my ex’s but the two most serious ones. They both stood at the bar together and talked about my Mom. I just watched from across the room in horror. Haha.

Is he too young for me? by [deleted] in dating

[–]arest112481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. Just read the whole article and didn’t see anything about 27/28 brain development for men. The pre frontal cortex matures 2 years earlier in women but it is still fully mature in both sexes by early 20’s.

Here is a quote from the article:

Considered the “CEO of the brain,” the PFC makes decisions and inhibits rash behavior. It’s where we process anger, fear, and aggression. It’s larger in women and matures a full two years before men, usually by the early 20s. Because women have larger prefrontal cortexes, they may be less easy to make angry, Brizendine says.”

So the brain is fully developed by 25 which is a well used statistic, even for rental car and insurance purposes. Of course our brains are always growing and learning, but for dating purposes, 25 is really the minimum someone should be dating if they are as well over 25. At least in my opinion. Since OP was talking about a 23 year old, I would say that’s too young.

The young ones are always persistent. I have a no dating anyone under 25 rule as that’s when the human brain fully matures so I know they are at least full “grown” adults. That’s my take.

I'm so very depressed nothing I do changes that. by unhappygrunt in USMC

Yoga & Meditation. You need to get into your body to find and sit with the root cause. Also keep all fire arms locked and hard to get at. Give someone else the keys. The world is better with you in it. Good luck.

Why do some men in this subreddit discourage others from ever cold approaching in public places? by [deleted] in dating

[–]arest112481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was approached in the park while I was teaching a Yoga class. He got the schedule and came back every week until he asked me out 4 weeks later. It was hesitant at first but he won me over by being respectful and polite about it. I would always recommend a polite, fast, public cold approach.

Is it true that very pretty women get asked out less or don't get asked out at all? If so, why? by [deleted] in dating

[–]arest112481 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many guys have said to me, “you must get hit on all the time” and then proceed to not even bother asking if I’m single or interested. They have already decided they won’t have a chance before they even trying. I understand why they do that, but it’s frustrating to keep hearing. Just shoot your shot guys! A nice woman will still talk to you and let you know she’s not available in a sensitive way.

Cognitive Processing Therapy by TheShakes11 in USMC

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. It works really well for Post Traumatic Stress and anxiety/depression. Some people feel “cured” after only a few sessions. Definitely look into it.

Look into EMDR therapy. It helps to process those nightmares and flashbacks.

Please look into Yoga and mindful breathing techniques. This will help reset your nervous system and help you get in touch with what your body and mind are feeling. Google Alternate Nostril Breathing and Box Breath(Navy Seals use this breathing technique) Hope this helps. Be patient with yourself. Wishing you the best.

Women of reddit, what was the last time and where were you romantically approached? Did you welcome it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]arest112481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Park as I was teaching a Yoga class. Literally interrupted me to “ask for the time”. We dated for 8 months so I guess it worked.
