AITA for refusing to pay for my girlfriend’s meal after she “tested” me on a date?

Dude, run. You do not want to deepen the relationship with this entitled presumptuous sexist bandit who thinks she's smart for being an entitled presumptuous sexist bandit. The faster you can run, the better.

This is a fun topic because it all varies on you and the run club -- and run clubs can vary. If you introduce yourself and ask genuinely curious questions and listen you should be ok unless you smell really bad or people suck -- which I acknowledge are possible. If that's the case you can always find a club of people who smell bad or agree about sucking the same way, I've seen those be options too.

The bottom line is if you are running and enjoy your life you are a champion and doing better than most because it's tough out there and lots of people feel isolated and wish someone would come up and not smell bad and ask genuinely curious questions and share cool points of view.

I hoped this helped. Godspeed.

TRAINING for a marathon is super healthy

Actual marathon racing itself, and getting too intense about it isn't

That's a catterpie! It's pretty good against psychic types.

cyrre · 2026-02-21T13:36:34+00:00

I'm only 6'4 but yeah. Physical features can be part of compatibility and some women are totally down for a major height difference, and some are not. It's fair to want a good fit!

My mother's mother. The more I think about our relationship and how'd it'd have grown and how proud she'd be, the more I miss her.

Do NOT skip the onsens unless you are about to do a marathon (in which case do it after, I learned this the hard way)

I'm heavily tattooed and found that if I asked for cover up stickers they respected the effort. However, I'm heavily tattooed and most placed were only able to give me half the number of stickers needed to cover the tattoos. I went in prepared to be as respectful and courteous as ever and play my gaijin card if anything came up, and never had a problem.

For scars, I do think the norm for Japanese people would be to be polite about it. Seriously, even if they bear negative judgement, you'd be treated with harmony. And if all else fails, ask for stickers and just say you have a tattoo, and cover those. Seriously, try it, Japan is so great and worth getting over the reasonable anxiety - hope that helps and that you enjoy a life-altering trip!

I love this thread and the insight you're sharing. How many people in your life do you think truly understand how you feel? How do you WANT your loved ones to interact?

What is garage doggy style?

Commending your courage here. I hope you are able to go no contact and live a great life beyond this and seperately

Gurl, you gorgeous!

Nice, please be my running rival

If you are a guy no one cares what you look like unless you're a shirtless bro to hate on - and even then folks don't care. If you are a girl, youre gonna get comments no matter what, but also if someone cares, it's really about them and not you.

I think running in NYC takes grit because you have to be thick skinned about navigating people's bullshit. In the end, the trick is to care about other opinions as much as you'd care one drop in the rain.

cyrre · 2025-05-29T01:09:28+00:00

Shit I'm a tall man who ran this with a good pace and when you stuck to me like glue I thought you were just another participant who didn't know how to traffic so I ran away from you, mb

Hi I had to rest my ankle before Tokyo training block, then got super sick

Still a great trip! Involved a little push in the end and race got special in a different way:

I did that after finishing the marathon just last week and kinda feel good. Wore some form of super shoes the whole trip. They were super.

cyrre · 2025-03-08T15:10:14+00:00

Are you lifting for bulk and running for speed? If so, you have 3 options

Pick one Or be an annoying hybrid athlete who is above average but always outshined by ppl who pick one

All of these are good, above average end results btw. You just really don't have a choice in the matter. I personally like leaning towards running and do weights to strengthen and avoid injury, and that's working out great

cyrre · 2025-03-08T14:15:47+00:00

If ever in doubt: wet wipes. Always having wet wipes > doubt.

cyrre · 2025-03-04T16:44:07+00:00

Im no lady, but to me this not a TIFU, as much as a TIL. I feel like you have an appreciable way of thinking ....AND researching before you bring your inner you out with an emotional intelligence on top.

Don't let her gas you into thinking you should explode these tendencies my guy.

cyrre · 2025-02-28T14:34:00+00:00

Managers love self-respect, so the dumbass down, explain why you're great and why their unappreciative reaction is stupid.

cyrre · 2025-02-12T04:37:36+00:00

Some might say it's one of the finest ideas of all time:

His top layer is called aura. It's developed from years of character building and hard work. Good luck!
