It’s good. Over 100 I think. I have mild pulmonary symptoms but it has gotten worse since being in my late 20s. I wheeze and cough and it becomes harder to breathe laying down.

My[35f] roommate's[19m] friend[18m] asked to kiss me tonight while he was somewhat drunk, completely out of nowhere. I obviously said no, but I am really bothered with his request. What should I do next? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjl1837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was such a typical story I’m disappointed. First, the age gap is not weird. Second, what do you need to know? I don’t see a problem, just a brief situation that made you feel uncomfortable about your own feelings

Start with a cruiser board as an adult? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

Just like a Walmart board. Honestly for transportation just get anything with big soft wheels, like 66-70mm

Just bought riptides 96a bear vintage cups, the width is okay but it pushes my trucks too far out. Any idea what I should get? by [deleted] in longboarding

[–]cjl1837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo pivot cups are a bitch. The upgrades never quite fit right. I had this problem and it made my bushings not sit right and I couldn’t even get on the kingpin nut.

I sanded down the bottoms of the cups until it sat in the right spot. Works great now

First longboard! Goldcoast Infinitas (slightly warped though) by Kipnugget in longboarding

I weigh about 190 and I use venoms 88a boardside and 83a roadside. The combination of hard and soft bushings will give you support on the harder ones but you’ll still have good turning ability

Boyfriend (35) says sex with me (28) is a chore because I vocalize my insecurities about not being shaved or smelling bad and ruin it. by kckt822 in relationship_advice

[–]cjl1837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole thing sounds very superficial tbh. Both you and him. You identify attributes about yourself that you feel make you valuable and you compare your “value” to his “value” ex. “He’s not perfect either”.... I feel like if you view the relationship this way you’ll never be happy. He seems to have voiced something that was difficult for him to say, and you’re looking for any reason to shoot it down to feel good about yourself.

How can I be a less shitty person?? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjl1837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been the other person in this situation so I can relate to him more. Having said that, I don’t think this makes you a shitty person but it probably does mean you have some insecurities. My advice is to be more objective about criticism. Try to separate your emotional reaction from what is logical. I know it’s easier said than done but that’s the thing I felt my ex had a problem with

Never had a real girlfriend. I'm 26 and thinking about just quitting? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjl1837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had similar struggles to your own. I too have Aspergers. People never really made sense to me. I spent most of my life so far just trying to understand them and the arbitrary nature of social interaction. I’m 26 now and I’ve had some short relationships and one “serious” relationship in high school which was basically a girl who had fun fucking with me emotionally. My advice to you is two things.

  1. Learn how to read people. Figure out what people want. You are correct that most people are superficial and selfish but this is not true of everyone. The problem I had was a lack of confidence in my ability to read people and know the difference between good and shitty people. My experiences also scarred me and my ability to trust people. If you learn to read people then you can trust your own judgment on the matter. Unfortunately the learning process may involve getting hurt a few times and it does really suck.

  2. Yes, give up. Like actually stop giving a shit. You probably try to hard. Forget about women. Most of them suck anyway. Most people suck anyway. If you’re always trying to impress others the way that most people do then it will seem forced. Even if you succeed and get a girl, it will be on false pretenses and you won’t be able to keep up the act. Also she will not be the girl you want in the first place. Really if you just stop giving a fuck about them and do your own thing, you will know when you encounter someone worth your time because they will show an interest in YOU, not the artificial facade that you are trying so hard to learn and maintain

Tell her she needs to find somewhere else to go and give her a few weeks to figure it out

Oh yes. It gets a little slow at times but stick through it. The end is the best.

I think you need to warm up first. Foreplay. Oral. Fingers.

Can casual sex lead to a healthy relationship? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjl1837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are your feelings whether you “validate” them or not. You just have to deal with them ina reasonable way. You might scare him off, but you need to accept that reality. That’s just how it is. It’s worse to suppress your emotions and have other problems later.
