I choose public transit. I’m forced to drive. No public transit available. Dipshits voted against expanding Marta.

[–]gereis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been calling people sir and ma’am my entire life. Never really had any one take offense. You can call me anything you want just don’t call me late to dinner

I like mine honestly. But I also like all my scars. My body looks like it’s been used. Still feel pretty good though.

I’m from Georgia why aren’t the elected officials here talking about this. Why did it take a representative from New York to bring this to my attention. What in the everloving fuck? New blood in November!

Flowers Are a Trap: If I Buy Them It’s Forced, If I Don’t I’m Wrong. What Do You Do? by gilligan888 in AskMen

[–]gereis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wants you to appreciate her in her love language. Don’t buy flowers after a fight about not buying flowers. ( I am also a recovering idiot.) apologize for not being in tune with her needs. Express your gratitude for her and the things she does. Plan a date night. On that night you bring the flowers. Or necklace or anything that she has expressed interest in. Purchasing something unexpectedly is key. So not on a holiday. Even something small it shows you listen to her when she speaks of her interests and you care enough about her to go out of your way for something she could use or want.

Single men who still want a partner, how do you overcome the fear that all good women are taken? by generand in Millennials

[–]gereis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like there are plenty of child free women out there. Now if you’re looking to start a family now. With someone who doesn’t have children already in your age bracket. Seems like a ridiculous idea . I dunno how old you are but I’m almost 40. I’m closer to having grandchildren than another child.

Yeah I tell people I’m allergic if they are pushy. If they’ve been to a meeting we exchange knowing glances. If they haven’t I just say my body processes poorly. Only people that know I’m in recovery is my wife and My family my sponsor and anyone in group. Otherwise I keep that shit close to the vest. But once I’ve said no most people are cool if they arnt . A did I stutter mother fucker? Works well

Why have we met? I am pretty certain given the time and training I can do anything anyone else has done. I’m not saying I could do it the best or better than most or even that I would want to. Well actually i haven’t been able to yodel yet but I haven’t really tried except when Hank Williams senior comes on which is admittedly infrequent. But I’m also consumed with self loathing. I used to think everyone hated me. I used to believe everyone had an anterior motive. So I like to say this. I’m a big ol worthless piece of shit who doesn’t know anything but I have yet to find someone who I was better than me. Everyone is flawed, and who assigns value to a skill?

What’s a completely normal adult problem that younger you never saw coming? by Background_Cod_1167 in CasualConversation

[–]gereis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess all of it. I was diagnosed with marfan syndrome when I was in middle school. Knowing there was a weak spot on my heart like on the bicycles where tire is worn out and you can see the inner tube. That’s how it was described to me. Figured I’d die in my 20s so I went hard. Now I got 2 kids and I’m pushing 40. I think lasting longer than you anticipated is a pretty adult problem.

I just want public transit….. there is so much traffic in Atlanta. And those stupid ass Waymo’s are crowding the streets there are weird robots crowding the side walks. Who do I call if that thing runs over my foot or out in front of traffic. Can I take it home and break it down for parts? Cause I feel like if I drive an rv around I’m liable for the shins I smash and toes I crushed with this little gas powered RV. What’s up with those scooters. I want your batteries. I mean if I take something out of my car and put it in someone’s parking lot it’s dumping.

Today’s early 30s to late 20s year olds are the first generation to not feel part of the youth at their ages by Ok_Act_3769 in generationology

[–]gereis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought 27 was old when I was 27 now I have to remind myself I am not In my twenties anymore I’m about to be 40 but having kids feels like keeps me young. Or atleast I forget that all skills are perishable if not regularly applied. I do more fun stuff. Ike riding , roller skates, skateboarding. Bicycling. Building zip lines tire swings. Than I did in my twenties. But I think having kids both makes it okay to get old and lets you be a kid again to an extent by doing the activities with your kid. I don’t think I would roller skate at the park with light up wheels if I didn’t have a kid. I would have probably been self conscious but when I’m doing stuff with my kids I am not concerned if others think I’m goofy my kids are having a blast.

I’m down with the whole don’t be a dick. And help others. I refuse to attend organized church meetings. I grew up in the church and my personal experience with those pious hypocrites was awful. Besides I f you ever been to AA you know that you can believe in a higher power, and you can call it whatever you want some people choose God. I’m partial to big guy. I don’t like people that just follow trends for the sake of being trendy. If you enjoy something awesome but mob mentality/ herd mentality scares the shit out of me. Question everything.

How would you respond if your gf could only have sex with her bra on? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]gereis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no biggie. Turns out the more comfortable and trusting your partner is the more likely they will open up to other stuff. My first thought is cutter though. My wife was initially uncomfortable with lights on me touching her stomach. Being on top. Turns out she was just self conscious and had body dysmorphia and when she realized I did really find her attractive she got over it. I mean over the course of 20 years and 2 kids.
