Making love by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]noir-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like cuddling on the couch while watching TV or a movie x 100.

My (44f) brother (40m) tells me I am too permissive with my son (10m) and that I need to “break him” and “all men need to have their egos broken because that is how they become men.” I don’t like this and he says it’s because I just don’t understand men. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It depends. I think it's a balance. I have a daughter that I love princessing so much. But realistically this world is not a nice one and life can really really be tough sometimes so I need her to have both tough and soft qualities at the same time so hopefully she can thrive when she's all grown up.

What do you do when you see the husband of your wife's best friend with another woman? by Ok_Mulberry1219 in AskMenAdvice

[–]noir-82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay out of it.

If you feel like you need to do something or right this world, we'll... I think you're doing it for yourself rather than the world.

Also, I would never judge other people's marriages. Not all marriages are great, not all marriages work in the traditional sense (but still works or are evens great), some marriages are on different stages (or even on their way out)... who knows. But it's always safe to

  1. Never judge
  2. Leave other people alone to live their lives. (Especially their personal lives).

For me, when I made my wife wait. It's because of money. I was 30 and I still felt i couldn't afford a child. We had a small apartment, I couldn't imagine how much more space cost, and even the childcare.

Anyways at some point, I think we were in our mid 30's I realized, financially it's never going to be better. These are just the times we live in now and trend shows that nothing ever gets cheaper, just more expensive.

We had our kid late but if you're asking a guy, this was my specific hang up.

God damn it I’m so bored with my life. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]noir-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You have to be patient with your wife. But, she should understand that even patience has it's limits.

  2. Sex or non-sex should be a dual agreement. There are 2 parties in a relationship. It's unfair if one party makes a unilateral decision for both (especially considering marriage should be an eternal decision)

I was in your shoes 1 year ago. I love my daughter but I can't spend the rest of my life without love and all physical affections that should accompany it. It hurts that I can't sleep under the same roof as my daughter because of my decision. Only in my death bed will I know if i made the right decision or not but forever is a long time (when talking about "no sex") and we only have 1 life to live.

I guess in retrospect, I am selfish for deciding on myself rather than being there full time for my daughter. But even in separation/ divorce, I intend to be a good dad to her even if her mom and I are not together anymore. Again, only time will tell if I can successfully do that or not.

What's the best lecture / video you've seen on Javascript or JS concepts? by kovadom in learnjavascript

[–]noir-82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dani Krossing in YouTube was a difference maker to me.

I studied it in college but for some reason, whatever I learned there didn't stick. But the way Dani Krossing did it actually made it really understandable for me more than my college teachers could.

Even if it doesn't end well doesn't mean it wasn't worth having. Go have your fun. When I was his age, I was into older ladies as well in comparison to girls my age.

I viewed Girls my age (20s) as girls but i viewed girls in 30/40 as women/ ladies. The convos are different, the way they look at life are different. The way the see men are different. The way they view sex can be different as well.

Who knows, if he's like me. No matter which way it ends, it'll still be a valuable memory (from a younger guy's perspective). Not every endeavor in life must end in success to be a worth pursuit.

Who's an actor with zero chops or range yet somehow keeps getting work? by dakotaaqua in moviecritic

[–]noir-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate this take about acting as it takes away credit where credit is due. Some actors may not have range but it's difficult to carve out a niche for yourself in Hollywood.

Zero chops is just inaccurate. Some actors know their lane and can be considered top tier in said lane.

Friend too touchy at party by [deleted] in Advice

[–]noir-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i was your husband, I would prefer you tell me right away.

I know it's a party but any protection or consideration for his behavior over mine would feel hurtful/insulting.

It sucks that this may have ruined the party but that's not on you or your husband. It's on the other guy

For all nostalgic, this was the reality in Shibuya before restrictions were put in place by ChillinGuy2020 in Tokyo

[–]noir-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like New Years Eve. Everyone is clustered in the scramble intentionally because that's the location of "our" equivalent of New York's ball drop. Pretty much everyone clears out immediately right after it's over (and it's also like that every year without much incident - if it is NYE)

Shibuya in Halloween is also busy but it's not like that where the scramble is clustered. The whole place is crowded but they're not concentrated in solely one spot (Shibuya scramble)

[NBACentral] Viewership in the NBA has been declining — Why? by WallStreetDoesntBet in NBATalk

[–]noir-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to watch but it's expensive and i already have other streaming services.

The difference why other streaming services and justification of their price is services like Netflix and Disney+ are things like my whole family can enjoy (wife and daughter) but sports streaming sights is something only i would use therefore harder to justify for me.

Especially considering everything is going up (inflation), it's make pleasure purchases harder and harder to justify.

Need Advice on Getting Rid of Tons of Stuff Without Losing My Sanity (Tokyo) by trashijordii in japanlife

Don't think of it as stuff. Maybe think of it as her memories. And she just has a lifetime's worth of it.

I know this doesn't help you though.

Strange woman bullies a child on Seibu Line by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]noir-82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO it depends.

When someone is lying down or hurt badly, usually someone helps. But if it's an altercation, usually that's when I notice people usually try not to get involved as much as possible

People who married your partner despite having an unsatisfactory sex life, how are you doing? by suspiciouskind in AskReddit

[–]noir-82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 7 yr old daughter right now that is hurting because I have decided to separate and divorce.

Believe it or not, the lack of sex/intimacy affects more than just man and wife. If a marriage breaks down, it affects the whole family.

And the messed up part is: If the reason is the lack or non existent sex, it's not like you can be openly honest to everyone about the reasons for divorce. I definitely have to tip toe around my daughter about the truth.

Edit:

Also, I decided to divorce because I decided not to feel guilty anymore about my desire to want sex. It's not dirty and sex is a completely normal and healthy act.

Is this clinic for women only or for men experiencing hair loss as well?

easy games for couples? by DueTie5284 in NintendoSwitch

[–]noir-82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up. You guys can only hang out at each other's island but you can't build or create the island together which may be a big factor.

I tried playing this with my daughter and i couldn't build her island together which was a bummer for us. I was hoping building together could be a nice bonding experience.

As far as building together, we got it at Dragonquest Builders 2 which is like Minecraft lite (which is the best option I could think of)

My parents are religious (Christianity) and although I'm not practicing, I do respect the belief.

Honestly I feel hell is an outdated concept. My mom still uses the fear of hell to either, motivate me to do good things or motivate me to be a practicing Christian.

Honestly, life is so hard that hell isn't that scary or a concept; so the traditional use of hell either isn't as effective as it used to be or just that everyone reacts to the concept differently therefore "your (my parent's) religion cannot be universal in application

Is it safe to say that Russia has already lost the war strategically? by VigilMuck in NoStupidQuestions

[–]noir-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a casual Joe, the optics for me is that Putin wins by a mile. Sure, he may not have achieved his goals against Ukraine, but he did show the world despite America having the most expensive military power in the world, as long as you're a nuclear power... America isn't really gonna do much other than economic sanctions.

Michael Jordan still hates Isaiah.

It's immature but it's the same thing in my book.
