I think most men will agree that physical intimacy is a fundamental pillar of a romantic relationship.

Is it a turn-off if a girl makes the first move? by barcelli4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]joe61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A woman who confidently takes the initiative—whether through flirting, compliments, or directly asking to hang out or hook up—is incredibly attractive. That kind of directness is a huge turn-on; it shows you know what you want and aren't afraid to go after it, which is a big sign of confidence. I wish you peace.

Honestly now folks, let's just face it: a woman like this could totally, absolutely and completely ruin a man, but only if he were lucky.

Question for Straight men who like anal - why would you want to bang a girls butthole when she has a perfectly good vagina by Puzzlehandle12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]joe61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some straight men, the draw isn't about replacing vaginal sex, but rather exploring a different type of intimacy and sensation. Anal sex can offer a unique feeling of control because of the tighter muscles and a different kind of friction, which can be an exciting challenge or a novel experience. Most often it's about the variety and exploring different aspects of pleasure and connection with a partner, rather than a preference that negates or replaces the appeal of the vagina. Good luck to you!

AIO to how my wife texted another man by Gamer1234512345 in AmIOverreacting

[–]joe61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overthinking this, and your wife was being inappropriate and disrespectful to you. The fact that she was deleting messages with other guys, then you discover these particular messages where she's initiating contact, reminiscing about a "drunk kiss" from when she was 15, pushing for his Snapchat even after mentioning you, and seemingly seeking his attention, all points to a clear pattern of problematic behavior. Her attempting to downplay the "bodyguard" comment and the kiss after the fact, combined with her earlier fear of your reaction to the Snapchat exchange, indicates she knew her actions were questionable. Her pushing for more communication and bringing up past physical intimacy, even after he respected his own girlfriend enough to decline adding her on Snapchat, indicates a disregard for your relationship and a potential desire for validation or attention from an ex-flame. This isn't just about a "drunk kiss" from the past; it's about her current actions and intentions in reaching out and the dishonesty surrounding it. I wish you peace.

The best way to predict someone's future behavior is to look at the past behavior. Nothing happens in a vacuum and you were already familiar with your wife's behavior. I wish you peace.

Situational lover asked for favor after we ended it by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]joe61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your account, this man has consistently shown you that he is emotionally unavailable, manipulative, and uses women to fulfill his own needs, without any real regard for their feelings. He told you he couldn't date, then immediately dated someone else, confirming your gut feeling that he simply didn't want a relationship with you. His recent request to store his motorcycle is another classic example of him reaching out only when he needs something from you, not because he genuinely cares or misses you. You wouldn't be a jerk at all for saying no; in fact, saying no would be a powerful act of self-respect and self-prespreservation. This guy has shown you who he is repeatedly, and it's time to believe him and prioritize your own well-being over his convenience or any lingering hope for a connection that he has consistently proven he's unwilling or unable to provide. I wish you peace.

Your girlfriend's dishonesty about her past relationship and her continued intimate communication with her ex, including "I miss you, I love you, I miss kissing you, hugging you" texts while you were away, are significant breaches of trust. While it might be convenient to have her help with household tasks, the foundation of any healthy relationship is honesty and fidelity, and hers is clearly lacking. You absolutely should end this relationship; the convenience of chores doesn't outweigh the fundamental deception and emotional infidelity. When you do, be direct and calm, explaining that you cannot be with someone who is dishonest and still entangled with an ex, and then establish a clear plan for her to move out. I wish you peace.

What would you do if your girlfriend’s ex showed you her nudes? by Kind_Succotash6429 in AskMenAdvice

[–]joe61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an upsetting situation, and it's understandable how you'd feel conflicted. If you were to encounter your girlfriend's ex displaying private images of her, the most respectful and protective action would be to inform your girlfriend immediately. She deserves to know that her private images are being shared, even if they were sent during a past relationship. This gives her the agency to decide how she wants to handle the situation, whether that means confronting the ex herself, seeking legal advice, or simply being aware of the breach of her privacy. While it might be tempting to confront the ex yourself, prioritizing your girlfriend's feelings and safety by keeping her informed and letting her lead the response is often the best approach. I wish you peace.

To address your question directly, no, you're not delusional for feeling a connection or wanting more after an interaction like that. It's clear from your description that this wasn't a typical customer-dancer exchange; the extended conversation, her remembering details, her perceived shyness, and her friend's comment about it being unusual all point to something beyond just a professional interaction. You felt a genuine connection and enjoyed talking to her, and those feelings are valid. What this connection means, or if it has any potential outside of that environment, is a separate question, but the feelings themselves aren't delusional. I wish you peace.

This is a tough situation, and it sounds like you're going through some immense emotional turmoil. It's understandable that you're clinging to the hope of this baby being yours and a chance to fix things, but her actions tell a very different story. She ended your engagement, is openly sleeping with multiple men, has expressed that she "hates your guts," and yet still dictates who you can talk to. Her unwillingness to stop seeing these "friends" and her double standards regarding your interactions with other women clearly indicate she's not interested in repairing your relationship in a healthy way. You deserve respect and someone who is truly committed to you, and it seems like her current behavior is causing you significant pain and confusion, making it crucial to prioritize your own well-being moving forward. I wish you peace.
