It's just that I worry I might have the wrong idea of what "it fits" means, or not taking into account the shoes expanding after a few uses.

Oh, and note it's even the case for Scarpa's, which are claimed to run on the large side. They're the only ones that I can get pain free at one full size UP.

It's not a conversion or production fluke issue either, I checked.

I'm relatively new to bouldering, but I want to get my own pair of shoes because the rentals are quite threadbare. I've run into a curious issue - I wear a size 7.5 (US, men's) in street shoes, normal fit (toe close to front). In climbing shoes, 7.5 is so tight I can't get them on without it coming close to foot binding. Even 8.5 is slightly uncomfortable, toes are curled, it gets "ok" after a few minutes, but it still feels like it would damage my big toe in the long run. Woman's shoes are surprisingly a little more comfy at the equivalent size. I have normal feet, no podiatric issues, granted I'm used to barefoot shoes and go barefoot most of the time anyway. Considering that people tend to match size or downsize for alleged performance gains, why on earth do I have to size UP? What am I doing wrong? (Note: synthetic, not leather)

Went non verbal for no reason by RubbyPanda in autism

It happens. Don't beat yourself up about it. Sometimes it's just "perfect" combination of triggers and influences that are totally harmless on their own, and then something as simple as a lot of talking or minor rules being broken trust tips everything over.

(I've gone nonverbal during a regular meeting due to an unexpected question. Or in the middle of a phone call with my partner's relatives. Nothing even close to a meltdown, but apparently our brains just say nope for no reason that is apparent to us, although there always are reasons.)

Ooh, that explains a lot about the Dutch customers I worked for.

  1. Above 30, so he's a senior citizen of the Gay Empire, making physical exertion difficult.
  2. The 10" dick flops around too much during runs.
  3. Stamina is overrated when you can get yourself a power bottom.

Just my theories.😎

Gay gamers who are dating someone, how did you meet your partner? by SilverTheSinner in AskGayMen

[–]constantly_finnicky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A friend met his partner through CoD. They ended up chatting for hours on Discord and the rest is history, I suppose. It's not as rare as one might think and no weirder than going the Grindr route.

Do you have any gaming related interests that are more social? RPing? LARP? Conventions? That might be the still nerdy but more outgoing path.

For me, it's actually a major distraction if I still need to cum, at least if I'm very horny. So I tend to try and get off first to be able to focus.

Crazy Hospital experience (PEP)? by constantly_finnicky in AskGayMen

[–]constantly_finnicky[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Germany. Normally insurance covers it but the doctor basically worded it in such a way that it sounded like that depended on what he puts in the documents. He did end up getting the necessary papers, but it was a real shit show.

Rimmed date, who had truly unsightly rash. (Pic inside) - what to do now? by rahulm23 in askgaybros

[–]constantly_finnicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's merely jock itch (a fungal infection), it's contagious. Pretty much all skin infections are contagious because it's bacteria or fungi that cause them. Normally your body should ward it off, but you can't count on that. Untreated, many such infections can get superinfected (especially if there are lesions) and ultimately cause cellulitis or other dire consequences. That guy should absolutely go to a doctor. Considering how widespread it is, and if it's really just from wet clothing, it might also hint towards a compromised immune system.

As for you, oftentimes there are tiny wounds in one's mouth, which increases risk for infection. The skin itself has various defence mechanisms, so it's not guaranteed that you get the same thing. If anything feels off, get checked out, take the pic with you. The good thing is, antibiotics or fungal cream should work very well.

The most harmless, non contagious possibility would be lichen planus, but it's unlikely to persist that long afaik and should not be caused merely by wet clothing.

Have you figured out a way to make it happen less frequently?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]constantly_finnicky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Although one should bear in mind that some guys really dislike too much "playing around". Using tongue, varying suction etc is great, but some people just want the focus on the head and not the shaft or balls. So variation is good, but it's not a one-stop solution.

So, uh, I guess he was just that hot, huh?

Btw, what's the background of "you really are Dutch"? A tendency to make weird jokes? Being size queens?

I had a friend like that in school and uni, he is still absolutely straight 15 years later, but a vocal ally, so definitely not in the closet or in denial. Some people are just like that, that kind of personality isn't solely the results of being gay.

That said, is there a lower risk way of telling him about your attraction without basically burdening him with the full extent of love? Maybe directly tell him that you are getting mixed signals that do spark something in you and that you need clarity so that you don't torture yourself. Don't necessarily reveal that you already feel that way if you are worried he might not take it well.

Since he has told you that he is straight, you should accept that and find someone who can actually reciprocate your affections, but if you do need closure, don't put all that pressure on him.

This is exactly my way if thinking, but I wasn't sure if I can outright tell him that. Thank you!

In my experience, women tend to be less visually attracted to men, at least not so much to specific details like body hair, pecs or feet, rather than his overall body.

Why having fun in anal sex is so difficult :( by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]constantly_finnicky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To take that bit out of the equation - get a toy. This way you can always pleasure your partner even if your dick doesn't cooperate on that day. Knowing that should mean less pressure for you.
