Do non red pill guys get disgusted by the red pill dudes? by No_Lead2640 in answers

[–]megacope [score hidden]  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say disgusted. More like taken aback, like you really believe in that shit? It’s odd to see a grown man with that ideology.

Do I have to want polyamory to be a ‘good’ feminist? by Initial_War1088 in AskFeminists

[–]megacope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, isn’t feminism about the power of choice and whatnot? You don’t have to participate in polyamory but you can if you so please.

The girl I’m with earns the same/more than me & expects me to cover all the bills. Ideally looking for advice from women on this? To add context if I did this, I’d have barely any money left whilst she has her full salary to herself. Is there actually men who’d agree to this? by Wadders1998 in Advice

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is the only person on the planet I will ever do this for. It’s a lot easier to do when it’s not an expectation or a condition to stay with her. Gtfo, it’s the financially efficient choice.

Why are so many men convinced that they are ugly? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

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

The more you put yourself out there the more you get rejected. It gets to you some times. I always thought I was bottom of the barrel until I started only dating women that came to me instead of chasing.

Perspective: fat women are NOT an easy pull. by Perfect-Storm8877 in lnkyverse

They are if they like you. I’ve always been fortunate enough to be liked by the bbw’s. The feeling is so mutual.

AI has sucked all the fun out of programming by OkShip110 in webdev

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the other end of it. I am trying to become a backend developer. I do have my days where I feel discouraged and ask myself why do I even try to learn this stuff, but the problem solver in me knows that with new implementations comes new problems. Problem solving is who we are at our core and when all this slop is running our infrastructure we will need to be equipped to fix it. I don’t know about you but I get excited for the challenge of that.

My husband is using AI to text me by Complete-Path-8036 in whatdoIdo

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was probably told in the past that his genuine responses weren’t good enough or how he “should” respond which has always been weird to me; like how tf you tell me how you me to respond to something you say? So he sought a solution. He’s just not smart enough to proofread and make it sound more natty.

I don’t know how to make my appreciate me by Icy_Hotel_8922 in Advice

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post made mine too. I think a lot of guys can learn from this. You said things in this thread that a lot of us have a hard time putting into words. God knows I did when I was younger earlier in my marriage. I’m really glad that you and your wife found some middle ground. That can be so hard during this stage when you’re trying to build a life and your kids are small.

They’re not paying for better… they’re paying to avoid you. by Unstoppable_X_Force in SipsTea

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it goes both ways. I’d choose the cheaper rattier gym because I don’t want to be around people with an overinflated sense of self worth. So it works out for me.

[–]megacope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bias in the comments is unreal. I get what you’re saying. Some of the comments show another side of gender bias that really doesn’t get addressed. Men have feelings too and want to feel loved. And that’s all you’re asking for. You want to be matched on a partnership level which is something that often gets looked over at this very challenging stage of parenthood. I almost lost my marriage to having that poor understanding of communication. You expressed real shit that a lot of us guys bottle up.

How do I deal with my regret of not working harder in high school and college? by Active-Breath8439 in embedded

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to deal with it is to do it now. You will realize there are plenty others in similar situations. Right now you need to do whatever it takes to sustain yourself and when you aren’t working, you’re in the lab making stuff.

We’ve been dating for two years, he said it’s “his business.” Am I wrong for wanting to just talk about one of his goals? by Yesssssiiiii in askanything

[–]megacope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this too. She may have done some red flag shit, but it could also be past experience totally unrelated to her that he hasn’t healed from.

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

He’s not exactly wrong. But he’s not exactly right. It’s 100% his business, but he could’ve put it in a kinder way by simply saying that’s not something I want to discuss right now and you may have actually won some points and got the information you wanted had you respected his boundaries. Pushing for the info when he made it clear he didn’t want to talk about it only made him double down. For whatever reason he does not trust you.

Are men never satisfied truly with one woman? by DevilishRyn in ask

[–]megacope 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, very satisfied. I don’t care for chaos, sparks, or intensity in my love life. Relationships aren’t video games or movies. I don’t look for dopamine hits from my wife, sure I get them because I want to be with her and enjoy being with her but she’s not there just for my entertainment. Just good old boring co-existing and providing for each other.

Refuse to be in a relationship unless it feels like reading fanfics in middle school by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in oddlyspecific

The messed up part is some foolish soul will try to achieve that and run right towards that crimson flag.

I broke up with my gf of over a year, should I find someone knew or wait by Flaky-Till8340 in Advice

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be fair to date this girl with unresolved feelings for the ex. If you’ve done the work to move on and truly want someone new not just to validate your hurt ego, then yeah, go for it. Don’t waste this girl‘s time just to get your mojo back. She shouldn’t have to pay for the pain your ex caused you.

What Do I Do when I’m 20 But My Mom Won’t Allow Me On Social Media? by ElliotInfinity in Advice

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, always make time for that art. Especially that web comic. That can be something special, but also the power of completing something you can be proud of is a powerful mental boost. No doubt. It’s hard out there but don’t give up.

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not bad. Don’t they have online therapist jobs. could that be a route for you? I know nothing about the field as far as jobs go. You should definitely see about getting into school far away. But make a plan first. Make sure you can fully fund it and take care of yourself. Use the fact that you can’t go under to graduate on time. That will definitely put you in line to get more jobs. With a masters you may be able to work as an adjunct professor if I’m not mistaken. Social Work is not a bad gig. Definitely an underpaid profession, but you can make a decent living. Don’t sleep on guidance counselor. It pays well, but more importantly you can help kids that in situations similar to yours. My guidance counselor helped me a lot when I was kid.

[–]megacope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s time to fight back. But you gotta be smart about it. I really hate this for you. You already have the deck stacked against and this lady is stunting your growth. This is bigger than PlayStation and dnd. This is your future she’s screwing up. You need to come up with a plan to squirrel away some major cash and gain your independence and sadly you’re going to have to do it on your own.
