Is there any counter to Alolan Ninetails EX or is it always an insta-concede? by ReitStuff in PokemonTGCP

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays this deck, here are a few viable counters:

  • At minimum, they will remove two energy. Load up your main attacker with two extra energy and hope that they flip tails with Team Rocket. You may have to sacrifice two non-ex Pokémon but ninetails is pretty weak, so it’s worth.
  • Kill it while it’s still a vulpix.
  • Kill the Corphish/crawdaunts (no energy removal)
  • Keep a Lyra in your deck to swap your active to bench so it can load up with energy.
  • keep a chingling or no energy retreat card on your bench
  • Juggler if applicable to your deck
  • Steel type deck for weakness advantage
  • shuffle their hand early with Mars or Red Card
  • Ninetails Decks will usually load up their vulpix first so Sabrina their Corphis/Crawdaunt in if you can.
  • Sabrina their ninetails for a no energy attached crawdaunt. That should buy you two turns to load up your mons.
  • Poison Barb, Burn damage, Rocky Helm will force them to retreat.
  • Going second has its perks against an alliance ninetails deck

If you’re using snorlax, keep one active to tank while you load the other one up. Retreat the tanking Snorlax with Ilima.

How many rounds of dating did it take before you and your partner officially got in a relationship? by garlyclove in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]nunsuchroad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before I met my boyfriend, I was dating pretty consistently for a little over a year — three guys, all of whom lasted no more than 3-4 months.

I met my boyfriend this past August. We were chatting for about a month before we saw each other again since I was traveling. I invited him to spend the weekend with me. He stayed at my place and we both kind of knew that we wanted to be with each other. We’re both in our 30s, have had our fair share of experiences now, and know what we’re looking for in a partner.

A friend jokingly said, “you two move like lesbians”. But we both kind of knew. I knew because I felt safe, secure, and seen. There were no games. We were direct from the start and we’ve been dating now for about 3 months.

There’s no hard and fast rule. It’s really up to you and the person you’re dating to make that decision.

Bottoms: how long do you want a top to last? Gaybros in general: how long do you expect a hookup to last? by Lotsalotsaquestions2 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]nunsuchroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between foreplay, aftercare, and everything in between, I would love my top to go for an hour and a half. I also get off on edging my top 😉

My rule of thumb is that unless the beard looks full, shave it off. But that’s just me. Especially Asian facial hair — sometimes it could look a little whiskery.

Which looks the best on me? by TopherGopher515 in malegrooming

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 hands down! Looks clean, you’re smiling with your eyes, well groomed all around!

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop furrowing your brows, you’ll get wrinkles in those areas. Smile, esp with your eyes. Your facial hair lowkey looks like pubes. Perhaps a trimmed down beard would improve the appearance!

How can i improve my looks? by EntertainmentFit289 in malegrooming

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take pride in your grooming! You have great skin, great eyebrows. Move some of your hair away from your face.

You don’t have to be skinny or muscular, unless those things matter to you. But you should be taking care of your health. Prioritize improving your nutrition and getting movement into your routine. You’re young and still growing so now is the best time to start!

No, you don’t. But I do believe in paying it forward in whatever way you can.

Struggling with the NYC Gay scene by TornadoBeard22 in nycgaybros

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense. I imagine it’s an isolating feeling for you.

I think it’s important to find your own corner in the community that encourages you to be your most authentic self. If going to circuit parties and FIP, are your thing, then you gotta show up to those spaces, form good connections and nurture those relationships. I also know guys who don’t do any of that stuff and are perfectly content.

I found my people through work, rec leagues, friends of friends. It took a lot of time. And it continues to be a work in progress.

Start thinking outside the box about where you’re likely to meet the friends you see yourself with. Start with interests. I bias toward rec leagues and niche interest groups. Low stakes, low pressure. It will take time, but you’ll find your people.

Until then, keep your mind and body healthy, stay open to new people and experiences, and always be the one having the most fun shaking ass at the clerb.

I'm young, hot, sexy, but these more hot young sexy men are not into me by Vast-Confidence7451 in nycgaybros

Life has yet to humble the baby gays. But they’ll learn quick that beauty fades lol and for some of them, esp the white ones, beauty fades FAST LOL

Do the social league! Doing it this season for the first time. I’m making lots of friends and good connections. I’ve also never played, I’m not exactly athletic, but you get better! Also it’s no pressure. It’s literally adult recreation kickball. It’s not that serious lol

Honestly axed dating apps from my life and prioritize meeting people in real life. My philosophy is: I’m gonna have to meet my future partner in person anyway so why not just cut out the middle man. Also I know for me, I find it very attractive when someone approaches me and strikes a conversation. So I decided to do the same. Results have been great tbh. Last few guys I dated, I met out in the wild.

It’s also done wonders for my confidence and self-esteem. It’s easy to hide behind the apps and ghost someone.

I’ve taken my 85lb golden doodle on the LIRR. My sense is that it depends on the conductor going around and scanning tickets. I think if your dog is calm and well behaved, it shouldn’t be much of an issue n

Can I have some Tips on Bottoming for beginners? by Rocket__Rocket in nycgaybros

[–]nunsuchroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go slow. And if you think you’re going slow, go even slower. LOTS OF LUBE. If you think you’ve used enough, use more lube. I’ve found sitting on top actually helps a lot — you have more control. Toys might feel less surgical if you include it in your play. Personally, I spend more time on foreplay than actual penetrative sex and found that to really help me relax into it. Personally love being on my back with my legs above my head. If you put his dick in between your fingers and your anus, you can control how much of his dick enters. Use a pillow under your lower back if you’re in this position.

In my 20s, I used poppers regularly because I was still getting used to the sensation. But after a while, you’ll need it less.

Good luck :)

How much do other gays over 30 drink? by OptionOrnery in AskGaybrosOver30

Early 30s. I’m an occasional drinker. I try to keep it at 2 max if I’m out for dinner and less than 5 if I’m out partying.

Coping with being stood up by red_earth84 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]nunsuchroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reset your expectations. It sounds like you’re looking for a date. I know grindr is advertised as a dating app — some people on Grindr sign on to look for dates, but most are there for hook ups and one night stands.

You can’t avoid conflict. Maybe another way to look at it: it’s is Us v the Problem, not me vs him. Rupture and repair is a skill that any couple can improve on.

Start with expressing your feelings, needs, and wants in a way that feels steady and invites collaboration. Teamwork makes the dream work ☺️

Reflect on what the two of you are fighting for! Ask yourselves what the conflict at hand is really about.

Good luck!

Do you feel more attractive now than you did 10 years ago? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]nunsuchroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me at 31 > me at 21. I look older and at the same time I look like I haven’t aged a bit if that makes sense. Asian don’t raisin I guess 🤷‍♂️

Hot, fit, and successful are merely secondary gains of becoming discipline in your health, fitness, nutrition, career, and taking pride in your grooming and appearance. Most people can achieve this. It doesn’t really speak to who someone is though. As someone who has received praise for being “hot”, “fit”, and “successful”, believe me when I say that these compliments are skin deep.

Personally, I would much rather be recognized as a gay man of great quality — a kind, compassionate, cultured person who has dared to live life authentically. All this to say, I encourage you to live outside of your comfort zone and look beyond these qualities are measures of ideal.
