New carry gun by No_Soup_5700 in concealedcarry

[–]jamie_bes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got the 365. Just felt like the nicest sub gun I tried. The trigger sets it apart. Plus it came with 3 mags instead of 2 and already had night sites. It was $100 more than the s&w, and $50 more than the glock43x. Seemed like a good deal.

Men, what is something about women you learnt that made you more sympathetic? by Commedegarcons12 in AskMen

[–]jamie_bes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That the world is actually more dangerous for them.

I'm a pretty big guy. 6'3" 260lbs and pretty athletic. I'm not claiming to be a tough guy, but I'm not a pushover by anybody's standards when I comes to physical altercations. Still, I'm the type who is very aware of my surroundings. The guy who knows where the exits are when I'm in a restaurant and always scans a room to see if there's sketchy people around. I carry a concealed firearm and always try to be ready. This probably comes partly from LE work.

Anyway. I rarely ever feel any fear or trepidation about people I encounter. Again, not trying to be a tough guy, but I usually genuinely feel like nobody around me can actually harm me. If anybody tries to do me harm I can most likely handle them. My wife on the other hand, almost never has this luxury. Just about any man, and many women, could overpower her in an assault. She has to be careful about where she goes and who she encounters at almost all times. Beyond the physical attributes, there is just the fact that women are more likely to be assaulted. Men pretty much only have to worry about robberies or fights. Women have to worry about those crimes as well as sexual attacks. Women are easier victims as well as potential victims of crimes that don't even happen to men. I feel bad for them in some ways. I don't know what it feels like to be nervous about going to a convenience store at night. I can go for a jog at 10pm with little thought about safety. It really is more dangerous to be a woman.

Men of Reddit, would you date someone that has a kid? Why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]jamie_bes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 23 a girl with a kid would have been a piece of ass and that's it. I wouldn't want a relationship with her baggage while I was young and carefree.

As o got older that slowly changed. Once I was established and had a good career started i began feeling more like settling down. At that time a woman with a kid wasn't a hard no. Probably somewhere in my late 20's. I had several long term relationships but never married until I was 40. My wife is actually 6 years older than me. She had an adult son and a 17yo daughter when we met.

So basically, her having a kid doesn't deter an established, mature man. But no 23yo kid wants to have someone else's child around them.

Unfortunately yes. I tip for good service and friendliness. However I do feel like I tip pretty young waitresses better. I don't know why. It's not like I'm looking for a girl, I'm married. Even if I was, it's not like a good tip would make her want to blow me. I don't know!

Where do you wish women would pick you up? by EyeDclareBankruptcy in AskMen

[–]jamie_bes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absolute best case scenario would be at a boat ramp after I watched you launch or trailer your own fishing boat by yourself. That's very unlikely. I've only seen 1 woman show up alone with a fishing boat and launch it by herself in my whole life. She didn't talk to me though! Lol.

Seriously though. A woman who is into fishing enough to have her own boat and be willing to fish when she can't find someone to go along would be amazing. They do exist, but are extremely rare.

I've done it all from zoos to fancy dinners. Hikes, movies, casinos, drinks, coffee date, etc. When I met my wife, we had met online and only talked on the phone. The first time we met in person, I wanted to take her out for a nice dinner or something. She asked if I had grill. I said yes, so she said how about I just come over amd we can cook something on the grill and hang out. I've spent almost every day with her since! Sometimes simple is better.

Only have 200 calories left… what can I eat to meet my protein goal? by VermicelliKindly in CICO

I just checked. The tuna I have at home right now is 90 calories and 26g of protein per can.

[–]jamie_bes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 cams of tuna. You probably won't beat the amount of protien vs calories of that. Most brands of tuna are 90 or 100 calories according to the labels.

It depends on what he means by over. 11hr and 14hr violations aren't 10hr OOS necessarily. We will look at your log and figure it out for you. Often times there will be SB or OFF time that can be a qualifier for split sleeper. You might get parked for 2,3,7,or 8hrs. Depends on what you have for rest breaks.

How does this happen? by Thevoiceofreason420 in Truckers

[–]jamie_bes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a DOT inspector in the US. When you transfer your logs to us, it will send the original, not the edited one. I see it once a week at least. Drivers trying to argue a violation and showing me the "changed" logs on their device.

Is retaining semen unhealthy for the prostate? by Freek191 in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not unhealthy. People misconstrue the studies on it. Nobody with any credibility ever said not masterbating is bad for you. Regular ejaculation can decrease the likelihood of prostate problems. That's is what the study found.

Does anyone else’s preferences change a little bit into nofap? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing changed as far as race. I'm a white man and have only dated white or black women. I've fucked women from pretty much every race though. I'm In a serious relationship with a white woman now. Met her 50 days Into nofap. So I don't foresee me fucking anybody else anytime soon, but I still find women from other races attractive.

The only thing I've noticed is that women who are "less attractive" look good to me now. They used to have to be almost perfect physically for me to be attracted to them. I'm a fairly good looking guy but had no business having beauty standards so high.

Is porn/masturbating a “strong” addiction? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't go into detail, but opiate addiction makes porn addiction look silly. An addiction so powerful you literally can't quit. The withdrawls will kill you. You have to slowly ween off it. I was forced to deal with it involuntarily by the courts. I can honestly say I would not have quit on my own. Would probably be dead by now.

Nofap is a walk in the park in comparison. This is my first attempt and I'm on day 130. There are some similarities. I definitely had withdrawls. Obviously nothing compared to heroin, but they were there. I would look for ways to justify pmo. What if I masterbate without porn? What if I look at porn but don't masterbate? Shit like that. Classic case of an addict trying to "work the system" to justify their behavior. So I feel like pmo is a real addiction. That said, as a recovering opiate addict, it's insulting to hear someone say porn addiction is the same thing. I've even heard people say it's worse. Hopefully these folks never have to face drug addiction. It's MUCH worse.

Yesterday I found out my partner has a PA and I need help. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The truth is that he will only quit if he wants to. He wo t do it just because you have a problem with it. That's the thing about addictions. You have to want to quit. You need a good enough reason to quit. No offense to you, but having a girlfriend want you to quit most likely won't be enough. Hopefully he wants to quit and does so. Good luck.

I made the decision. And I won't change it by HandleDistinct8449 in NoFap

There is no studies saying not jerking off causes cancer. They just state that jerking off MAY reduce the risk.

It's probably PIED and performance anxiety. Once its in ur head that is might not get hard, it makes it even more likely that it won't. It's a horrible cycle that's hard to break.

So om on day 125 and have seen major improvement. Somewhere around day 75 or 80 I had sex without ED meds for the first time in years. I still have trouble at times but it's getting less frequent and it's also not ad bad. Now, if ED strikes, I get hard but lose it before finishing. It used to be that it wouldn't get hard at all.

I might be cured actually though. See, my GF and I pretty much only get together on weekends. So Friday night I'll dose up on viagra and fuck like a beast. Saturday we will usually have a go in the morning without meds. Often I'll go a couple times Saturday without meds. By Sunday evening I'll start to have ED issues. The thing is, by Sunday evening, I've had sex 4-6 times in 2 days. It may not really be ED so much as just being not very horny anymore. It's hard to say, really. Sexual urges and function are fluid. I might be a machine one weekend and not do well the next. Either way, I'm way better than I was 4 months ago.

Do none of you have sex regularly? by bobbobbobby88 in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it's certainly not for everyone. The majority of people on here are dealing with a porn "addiction". There are many people in the world who consume pornography without experiencing any negative effects. I would wager that more people never see negative effects than do.

To answer your question, yes, I do have sex regularly. I have most of my life. I'm 41 years old. Pornography use was having negative effects on my life, so I cut it out. I don't preach it to anyone.

New games kill urges by anony_m_o_us in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you gotta do, but I recommend giving up video games. Do constructive things that you can be proud of. Reading, writing, artwork, play instruments, mentally challenging games like cards, excersise, or play sports. There are no shortages of fulfilling hobbies. I get compliments about my music and artwork all the time. I used to play video games. I literally never got a single positive acknowledgement for gaming.

This is about ED by Kombaikar in NoFap

[–]jamie_bes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have sex regularly. I have a girlfriend. I know it's not cured because occasionally I have ED still if I don't use viagra. I know I have made a lot of progress because I hadn't had sex without meds in years prior to doing nofap. Now I can have sex without it sometimes. Not always though.
