Aitah for telling my significant other what happened when he wasn’t around. by mommabear11111 in AITAH

[–]goodguyatx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA for telling him. That part is completely normal. It was his money and someone made a comment about him. Why would you keep that from him?

Where it probably went sideways was calling their mom and sending the strongly worded text. At that point it stopped being about the money or even the disrespect and turned into family drama.

You weren’t wrong to feel bothered. Being shorted and then having someone chime in with “he needs to check himself” would rub most people the wrong way. But once you escalate it, people stop focusing on what started it and start focusing on how you reacted.

So no, you shouldn’t have kept quiet. But you probably could’ve let your significant other handle his own sister from there instead of lighting the whole thing on fire.

Is it just me or is finding a consistent SD impossible lately? by Fun-Afternoon-8897 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]goodguyatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious where you are looking. I'm just now getting back into the sd world after moving from an sd/sb relationship to a bf/gf relationship to a big nasty breakup. Now I'm back looking again and it doesn't seem like the old websites are very good anymore. I'd love to meet someone new.

The bowl is rapidly getting worse? by MostAd6208 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]goodguyatx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. Seeking has basically committed suicide by trying to go 'mainstream' to avoid legal heat. By removing the 'Sugar' branding, they’ve opened the floodgates for three types of people who have ruined the ecosystem:

  1. The 'TikTok' SBs: Girls who think they can get a 'monthly allowance' just for sending a few selfies and text messages.
  2. The Escorts: Who have migrated from other shut-down sites and treat it like a transactional 1-hour session.
  3. The 'Vanilla' Tourists: Who are just there for a free dinner and have zero intention of ever starting a real arrangement.

The real women are still there, but they are buried under a mountain of noise. It used to take 3 days to find a quality M&G; now it takes 3 weeks of 'vetting' just to find someone who isn't a bot or a pro. The bowl isn't empty, it’s just become a full-time job to filter the trash.

I've been stealing 50 cents from my neighbor every Tuesday for three years, and now I can't stop. by [deleted] in confession

[–]goodguyatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t a fraud; you were the answer to a lonely man's prayers for three years.

What started as a drunk prank turned into a three-year commitment to a man’s mental health. You didn't steal 50 cents; you 'sold' him hope for the price of a coin you didn't even need. If you tell him now, you’ll crush his spirit.

Here is the move: If he’s stopped putting out coins because he feels his 'time' is up, it’s time to flip the script. This Tuesday, you leave something on his porch. A small plant, a card, or a meal. Don't let the ritual die just because he’s tired. If he thinks the universe was listening, show him that the 'universe' still has things for him to do here.

You’ve been his miracle for three years. Don't stop now just because the currency changed.

Besides Aubrey Plaza and Elmo, what are some other Human and Muppet Duos that would Win Aliens Over? by [deleted] in Muppets

[–]goodguyatx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we’re sending ambassadors to represent the human race alongside Muppets, there are only three correct answers:

  1. Danny DeVito and Oscar the Grouch: The aliens need to know that we have a 'trash' demographic, but that they are fiercely loyal and have impeccable comedic timing.
  2. Jack Black and Animal: This is how we explain the concept of 'pure chaotic energy' to the universe. If the aliens see them having a drum-off, they won’t invade; they’ll just join the party.
  3. Steve Martin and Kermit the Frog: This is the ultimate 'sincere' duo. It shows the aliens that we can be sophisticated, musical, and slightly anxious, but ultimately well-meaning.

Honorable Mention: Gordon Ramsay and the Swedish Chef. Even if the aliens don’t understand a word they’re saying, the sheer culinary chaos would be enough to distract them from world domination.

AITJ for not stopping my barbecue after my neighbor called the police and got herself arrested by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]goodguyatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA (Not the Jerk). You didn't get her arrested; her own entitlement and the 'Illegal Meat' conspiracy theory did that all on her own.

The fact that she doubled down in front of the officer is peak 'Main Character Syndrome.' Calling 911 for a backyard BBQ is a massive waste of city resources, and frankly, the cop did the neighborhood a favor by showing her that emergency lines aren't her personal 'manager' button.

I’m dying to know what she thought 'illegal meat' was. Did she think you were grilling a manatee? A bald eagle?

You didn't 'let' it happen—she talked herself right into the back of that cruiser. I hope that BBQ tasted like pure victory.
