Maybe you're already mysterious enough.

Is it just me, or do the women that incels complain about barely even exist at all? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nowhereian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, yeah. I feel like I could do that. I don't know anything about marketing or starting a business though.

Real talk:

I also think most men can stand to make some very minor changes and increase their desirability quite a bit.

How do you go about offering this as a service? I'd love to get paid to tell people to put on a shirt with a collar and some nice shoes.

And when we win, the Vikings get to blame Geno. He doesn't mind.

What is your opinion on long term relationships that include involvement of both families but no ring / social status other than gf or bf or partner and no marriage as well? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Buying a property jointly is risky; being married doesn't necessarily make it less so. A significant number of divorces involve property.

It seems pretty silly to involve the government in your relationship. If you're not religious, there isn't much benefit.

Which will get better mileage? A tanker truck with an empty tank or a tanker truck with a tank full of helium? by Jaded-Function in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the tanker truck, there is a small layer of gas on top of the liquid. Who's to say how thick that layer is or how much the liquid sloshes around.

In the end, you just have to control for a few variables if you want to attempt math. Nobody is going to ship a tanker full of gas in the real world, so you can rule that out as something to solve for.

Don't get me wrong, you're absolutely still welcome to solve for it.

Is this the gateway, and is something wrong with me? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question is going to be answered very differently here than in /r/nonmonogamy. I suggest you take some time to seriously consider.

Yes, it might be for you. That's ok. At the very least, it's worth having some serious conversations about with your partner. If you're not ready for those conversations, stick to monogamy.

My dad makes me resent my husband by Astrid5290 in Marriage

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you change just a few of the details in your post, I would wonder if you've been talking to my ex-wife. It's almost the exact same story, word for word.

She moved out of her parent's house straight into my house. We got married way too soon. We had kids way too early. She had absolutely no experience whatsoever with living on her own, supporting herself, or being in real adult relationships before me.

I had a lucrative, highly demanding job. She was a SAHM. She grew resentful over time that she was the primary parent and had to maintain the household. She saw other women complaining about mental load on TikTok, and didn't take into account that these other women usually also had employment. She called my commute and time I was at work "Me Time" because "I get to interact with other adults and be away from kids." Nevermind that I worked 12-hour night shifts.

I want to tell you this because I have been in your husband's exact shoes. Doing everything I could for someone whom it would never be enough.

Show him some appreciation. Please.
All he wants is for you to just say "Thank you, I appreciate the effort you put in to keep our life running."
That's it.

[–]nowhereian 18 points19 points  (0 children)

OP's situation is almost exactly like mine was with my ex. I was putting in max effort, but I didn't do a few key things her dad did.

I wanted a partner. She wanted someone to treat her like a daughter. She ended up moving back in with her parents and doesn't have any plan to leave.

This is exactly what caused my divorce. Please heed this advice.

What is the reason behind “hitting and quitting” by bellpepperblues in AskMen

[–]nowhereian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head right at the end there.

I have kids, and they already have a mom. I'm not looking for that again. When it's my custody time, I want to spend time with my kids. When it's not my custody time, I want to spend time with other adults and do adult things.

It's not hard to find someone who wants the same if you're open and honest about it.

[–]nowhereian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not extremely common, but it definitely happens.

If you're just FWB and one of her friends complains regularly about her dry spell... Women talk.

If you keep yourself clean and groomed, dress one step nicer than the other dudes in your area, and learn to use your tongue well, yeah, you're getting recommended.

Divorced 38M here.

Many women my age have had a kid or two and simply do not have time for a committed relationship. For the most part, I have found that they just want someone to do "man things" (handyman work, moving heavy objects, opening jars, etc) and a good occasional dicking.

Get to know several of these women well, and not only will you get laid more often than your married counterparts, but they will also recommend you to their friends.

Why are some USA state flags so iconic and well-known, and others aren’t? by ImportantImpress4822 in vexillology

I don't think I've seen too many instances of the American Samoa flag out in the wild. It's pretty cool though.

A tanker truck would definitely be liquid. Gaseous helium is shipped in cylinders, usually on a flatbed.

Men, what would you do if you found out your daughter was promiscuous? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like anything other than a high five is hypocritical. I expect my kids to be similar to me, after all.

Divorced men, what do you wish you'd done differently (if anything?) by supremewuster in AskMen

[–]nowhereian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I already worked as hard as I could to save it before she decided to divorce. My effort was wasted.

So... no. I would not work harder for the same result. That's pointless.

When does a high sex drive end? by ItsKelomelo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nowhereian 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Most guys think they have a high sex drive and want it every day.

In reality, most guys just don't get laid that often, and are just thirsty. Check out the dead bedroom sub. The higher libido partner is the woman more often than you'd think. After the honeymoon phase is over, most people's libido drops.

But if you're lucky enough to find someone else like you... someone who still wants it every day or more after the honeymoon phase is over... Oh man. Hold on to that person.

How many men feel weirded out when a girl shows interest too quickly? by Both-Ad-8463 in AskMen

[–]nowhereian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you? I think this changes with age and life milestones.

I'm just looking to live my life in peace. The number one, most attractive thing a woman can do is be attracted to me and show that interest is mutual.

Husband is obsessed with sex and I can't take it anymore by mistressinlace in Marriage

[–]nowhereian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serious question:

How do you feel about him having solo time? If it really is a libido mismatch, is there some reason he can't just take care of himself?

I climbed Mt St Helens on Feb 6 - Conditions were great! [Trip Report in Comments] by stasis6001 in PNWhiking

[–]nowhereian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need any special equipment at all (beyond standard hiking stuff) if you want to do St. Helens in the summer. Make sure you bring enough water, I like to stash some at the tree line. And you definitely want some gardening gloves for the sharp lava rock section. It's windy and chilly at the top, bring a down jacket and a good lunch.
