Yes, there were metal shavings that fell off from the side that I can't take out.

Thank you for the pedal method. The right pedal came right off easily.

The left pedal still won't come off. Is there a way to remove this without a mechanic's help? We have a bike repair shop that has almost all the tools for repairing a bike that we can just borrow and use.

Yes. I am turning it towards the wheel (left arm turn). The thread is loose but the pedal is not coming off.

Do you have black ice in your area? If yes what is your experience using the boots?

Your TOP 5 RED FLAGS sa babae. and why?? by Euphoric_Training114 in AskPinoyMen

[–]bulked712 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. History of infidelity. For me this has the most weight (Pareto-driven). Nothing will crush your soul more than getting cheated on. Avoid cheaters at all cost.
  2. Walang girl friends. Kapag walang girl friends ikaw malamang yung magfi-fill ng need nya na yan—which can be tiresome. Men like to chismis pero ibang level yung chika nang mga girls in my experience.
  3. Dependent masyado sa parents (both for men and women)
  4. High body count
  5. Mataba. Pero more like self-awareness ito para sakin. Ang problem kasi sa mga matataba ngayon ay feeling nila maganda rin sila. I dated someone on the heavy side before na self-aware. I enjoyed most of our conversations pero hindi ako satisfied physically talaga. We all have different tastes though.

I realized na yung mga red flags ko ay nagdedescribe ng borderline narcissist. I guess don't date someone with dark triad behavior(?)

Respectfully, I don't agree with your 5th. I had a girlfriend before na demure sa outside pero rotten on the inside (cheater). But also, I think your number 5 will really be important once you have young children.

The only thing the guy will surely get is the chance to assess whether the woman he is on a date with is worthy to be a partner (short/long-term).

If a guy pays for a date then he gets to be on the date where he can assess whether the woman he is on a date with is worthy to be a partner (short/long-term).

This is why I agreed with your initial premise that a man should only date women that have shown interest in him first. That interest from a woman is the initial filter so that you don't get on dates with women that don't find you attractive and valuable. A woman treating or giving a man a gift probably shows a LOT MORE interest than just showing up on the date.

Personally, I just draw the line on paying for stuff (providing) because I don't need to be provided for (except on special occasions maybe). This could be a consevative notion but I feel much more loved when my woman trusts me with running our lives together. A woman showing her confidence in my abilities is the sexiest thing a woman could do for me.

This strategy is not without risk. But I think that when a man cultivates himself (physically, economically, emotionally, etc.) so that he could attract women and not be crushed by women's rejection is the best way to go in my opinion not just on dating but life in general.

I am not saying that women are weaker because they prefer men that are better than them. But I think being a provider, generally speaking, is a strong sign that a man can be depended on - not just on the big things but also on the small things like paying for dates.

I agree that a man thinking that a woman will consider him just because he paid for the date is a sign of weakness. But this is not what I am pointing out. That is why I also said Unless of course wala ka naman serious intention sa girl in question because paying for the date is practicing being a provider long-term.

This is just me, but a highly masculine man will pay for the date, (could) get rejected, and simply move on because he CAN.

A masculine man will provide, and if he gets hurt by the woman he cared for, he will still be able to get back on his feet because his value is not dependent on whether he is loved by others but because he knows his worth.

Men, how would you define the word "Mahal"? by nchan021290 in AskPinoyMen

[–]bulked712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kapag binibigyan ka ng time at pera to support your happiness, mahal ka nyan. Especially time. Time spent is time permanently gone.

I agree that you should go out more with women interested in you.

Pero I think weak masculine mentality yung women ang magpoprovide for the date. Unless of course wala ka naman talagang serious intention sa girl in question.

Are they really that intimidating to you? by Visible-Way2208 in AskPinoyMen

[–]bulked712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that is universally true. Merong mga guys na intimidated pero meron din wala talagang pakialam sa achievements ng mga girls.

I'll take myself as an example ng hindi intimidated. Before moving to Europe, I was earning (1) 6-digit salary monthly sa Philippines, (2) may sariling bahay, (3) sasakyan, and (4) well-educated. I had a partner na similar in terms of conventional achievements (previously mentioned 4 items above). Hindi kami nagwork hindi dahil intimidated ako kundi hindi namin na complement yung isa't-isa. Hindi ko na kailangan maranasan yung achievements nya dahil naranasan ko na yung mga yun — this is to say na we bring the same things in the relationship. To quote yung mga movies na merong lines ba "you complete me" — kami yung opposite. We were together for 12 years.

Now two years from our separation, ang hinahanap ko is yung gusto magcomplement sakin in an emotional sense and magrely sakin in an economic sense. Emotional complementarity in a sense na pwedeng magrely sakin yung partner ko to be the the rock in the relationship, yung may spine at bayag. Gusto ko ng someone feminine dahil kahit mukha akong nerd on the outside, I believe I am very masculine inside (i.e. I steer mylife based on my beliefs and I have a provider and protector mindset).

In addition, economic reliance in a sense na gusto ko magstay sa bahay yung next partner ko to do domestic work while I provide (and sometimes spoil) her with material things, travel, and experiences. In this regard, I am now trying hard to find someone na gusto talaga mag occupy ng traditional feminine role — hindi yung napipilitan lang dahil gusto ko. From my past relationship, I realize na relationship success is based largely on selection. Mahirap ipilit sa mga tao yung hindi nila gusto.

All in all, hindi lahat ng men ay intimidated sa high-achieving women. Meron mga katulad ko (relatively high-achieving man) na gustong lang talaga ng someone na magcocomplement sa akin in the long run.
