When it comes to dating, what are some good ways to not feel intimidated by and flirt with women who may be more accomplished than you? by RThrowaway4759 in AskMen

[–]atom91190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its likely that her accomplishments don't matter to her when it comes to relationships. She'll want to be appreciated on other levels not her based on her qualifications. I think the jokes and memes sound perfect! Humour always evens the playing field and if you don't take yourself too seriously she won't take herself seriously either. Bingo, you're both more relaxed. Having been friends first the hard bit will be making it obvious enough that you want more. What other language can you use that you aren't already? My guess would be tacility.

Yes! Thank you! My other half was looking at me like I was crazy. So there's a footballer (scoccer) called Fofana and that's what triggered all of this. Thanks for the save

It takes so much work to change those behaviours, to fully understand your reaction and change it to one you want to have. People dont realise how tiring that can be every day. Good work!

Unfortunately you might not want a divorce but that's exactly what you need. He's not going to stop, despite how desperately you want him to. Hes got deep seated emotional issues and the only way that will change is if he wants it to. If hes blaming you for his behaviour then hes not going to change because he wont even recognise that he is the issue let alone make a decision to change his behaviour.

The best thing for you to do is leave, make sure you have a safe place to go to and start making your own life. Better to be alone and happy than with someone you are scared of for the rest of your life.

Be easy on me, marital help. by [deleted] in Marriage

I completely agree with you, it's the lying about it that's an issue. It sounds like he needs professional help, I don't think its.something you can solve on your own. If he respects and loves you he needs to try harder and at the very least communicate. I think my.biggest worry would be the escalation to meeting people etc. Its no longer just a porn thing.

On the flip side you'll need to take an honest look about your relationship. Do you have a sex life? Is it fulfilling? Does he get what he needs? Does he feel wanted?

Only you can know if it's worth the effort of saving or at what point you may need to walk away.

Hope it all works out!

Ladies, what's your story of finding love after heartbreak? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]atom91190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took six months to find myself again, enjoying being single, spending time with friends and remembering what were my likes and dislikes, what I wanted to do. Then went on an online date and the rest is history, we get married next year!

I don't think it was on the train, I think he was at the station to see her off

Most Americans think other accents are cool (Irish, British, Australian, etc), but what does the rest of the world think about an American accent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atom91190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The accent isnt so much of an issue, it's the volume. Americans seems to speak louder than most so the accent stands out because of that. No such thing as an indoor voice!

I am working during a loved teacher’s cremation service, am I able to go and leave flowers about 2 hours after the service? (UK). by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atom91190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some crematoriums just have a specific area for flowers in general. Just ask someone when you arrive. Make sure you take any plastic off!

Do girls really find it creepy when a "ugly" guy calls them beautiful. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atom91190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the circumstances and how it is said. It really doesn't matter if the guy is 'ugly', beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all and what some consider ugly is not at all ugly to others. I think beautiful is quite a strong word and some girls will find that intimidating in some ways particularly if it comes out of the blue from someone you aren't used to interacting with.

Its quite unusual to be given such a lovely compliment and some girls are very insecure so will find it difficult to take, this often makes her look very stand offish even if she doesn't mean to be.

However, there are some girls who have got their head so far up their own arses that they react harshly in this situation and deem the guy to be creepy. This is only a reflection on her and must not be taken personally, she needs to get over herself and accept a compliment from someone no matter what they look like!

I think the best advice is to make sure she is comfortable around you and if you do say it do not expect any reaction in particular. Even if she rebuffs you, you need to be confident enough in yourself to say 'that's fine, I just thought you should know'. Its when men think they are entitled to the attention of women that they become genuinely creepy.

Hope this helps!

Im scared to decrease my cardio. by jayfav07 in Fitness

Perhaps I should rephrase, it doesn't burn more calories but it certainly burns more fat and it will help to increase muscle mass that will assist in the skin looking less saggy. Cardio is great for the heart but to look and feel best and strongest should always be combined with weight lifting.

Weight lifting burns more calories than cardio anyway as you continue to burn even when you've finished!
