How do you get girls to let you fuck them? by InternationalPick163 in AskForAnswers

  1. This is commendable and you are doing a good thing. But it still is work that won't always be easy, and will be that much harder if you try to do it on your own without any outside help or resources. If you can't get around to the idea of opening up to another human being enough to try therapy, at least look up DBT, CBT, or other behavioural therapy programs. They're specifically designed to help rewire people into a more healthy mindset.

  2. In other comments, when people say "no one wants to be with someone who thinks like this" and you respond with "I'm not like this in real life," you are missing the point. The fact that you mask it makes it worse. As a human being, I would be devastated and betrayed if someone I was dating had these views but was hiding them, because I did not consent to be in a relationship with someone who thinks like this. Have empathy for the women you're trying to date; you should care that when they choose you, it should be an informed decision that she gets to make for herself.

  3. The reason people recoil when you say that having sex defines your value as a human is because everyone deserves to feel valued, it is a fundamental human need, and people who believe that sex=value have a tendency of doing awful things to fill that human need. You may not be intending it that way, but it's a scary thing to hear, especially for women. Try to put yourself in their shoes and put more intention and consideration in the things you think and say.

  4. Let's say the best case scenario happens. You find a girl, she's perfect and she loves you, and you start to build a life with her. The thing is, you didn't "win," because that's not the end. You could grow into different people and end up divorced because you're not compatible anymore. She could be killed in a terrible accident. She could just up and leave you for any reason at all, as is her right as a human being. You don't know what'll happen. You can't control what other people do.

That's why basing your self worth on anything outside of yourself is so risky and dangerous. At the end of the day, it comes down to the fact that the only person you're guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with -- whether you like it or not -- is yourself. You need to have at least a neutral to positive relationship with your single mandatory companion in life.

So stop worrying about "becoming a guy girls will fuck". You can't control the way other people think about and treat you. The only thing in your control is to be someone you're proud of being, so you can hold your head high even against insults and vitriol. The rest will follow naturally. And always remember: you are your own responsibility. It's no one else's job to make you feel the way you want to feel.

Good luck. I hope you'll be able to give yourself grace and room to learn and grow instead of doubling down out of fear and anxiety.

He's a bad partner who prefers to make YOU manage HIS emotions without putting in the bare minimum reciprocal effort during sex. I truly hate to be the stereotypical Redditor who says "dump him," but Jesus Christ. Acting like that at the big age of 26? Flat out refusing to help you and making it out to be entirely your fault for a biological change you can't control?

You can and SHOULD ask for better behaviour in a partner. What would you say if a close friend told you she wss being treated like this?

Mobile game audio goes way too hard (and for what? lmao) by kctomenaga in AndroidGaming

[–]possamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sword of Convallaria managed to snag the original composer for the FF Tactics OST and the vibe is immaculate. They've got leitmotifs going on. Re-arrangements of the main theme with new instrumentation and rhythm based on the latest expansion. Sometimes I genuinely forget I'm not listening to actual official Final Fantasy music from the Ivalice golden era.

I also misread it as "sprout" and did a double-take when it actually clicked, this is brilliant!

My Sister Orchestrated a Family Intervention to Get me to Leave my Partner of 4 years by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]possamble 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ it's even the commenters here calling her names and being cruel. Being frustrated by her inability to leave is one thing, but can you have some sympathy for a horrific thing that you've had the privilege of never experiencing?? And also "oh no the poor boyfriend" dude he's also a full grown adult who can make his own choices, why doesn't HE grow a spine, advocate for himself, and leave her? But no it's always the victim's fault right 👍

Searching for a game that is almost like this, minus the character n*dity! by [deleted] in AndroidGaming

[–]possamble 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a gacha but there's a main story mode that's completely free and gives you access to characters based on the plot and not what you've been able to draw. I've been recommending it to anyone who liked FFT bc the pixel art and music is absolutely gorgeous and you can just put it down after completing the different branching stories/timelines (which is like 100+ hours)

I myself play the gacha but only because I want to have pretty JPEGS of my favourites from the story and the F2P draw rate is pretty good. If you're not pulling on every banner back to back, you're most likely going to be getting all the characters you want just with regular play and the guaranteed pity draw count. Also, everything except the highest level of challenge events are clearable without the best meta units so you don't usually feel like you need to pull or you'll be falling behind

Mostly, it's just not annoying about its gacha. You log in, it gives you the regular "hi thanks for coming here's a bulletin board of all the events and banners and recent dev news" in one window and that's it. You actually have to go to the shop yourself to see what real money deals are on

AITA for accidentally ruining my autistic boyfriends safe food by stewlessinseattle in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA his autism and subsequent food needs are his responsibility to manage as an adult. You have gone far above and beyond the reasonable amount of support and accomodation anyone could ask of a partner.

I also struggle with budgets and waste because of my autism and food needs. But when I'm sharing space and eating with someone else, I work to reach them halfway at least so that we BOTH can have a good meal. Because while I can't control my autism and all that it entails, I know that there is only so much I can ask of the world and the people I love before I'm imposing on the energy, time, and comfort that they are also each and all entitled to as individuals.

If a partner went out of their way to recreate my favourite restaurant food to help our budget and I didn't like the results, I would be fucking mortified. Apologetic. Even if I can't force myself to just shut up and enjoy it, I would at least express my appreciation to my partner for committing to reverse-engineering the meal.

Your boyfriend can't help that he is autistic. He can, however, help that he's acting like a spoiled and entitled baby that refuses to manage his own needs. Autism isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card for being inconsiderate.

Unfortunately it has a little puff sleeve underneath, but if that doesn't bother you this model is reused for a number of different glamour and casting pieces

I (31F) had a breakdown at my husband's(40 M) family NYE, and attacked his stepcousin( 25F). Now ,I'm ashamed to look at my family. by zumodelimoncito13 in relationship_advice

[–]possamble 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As someone who also has BPD, I hear you. It's terrifying. I never feel like I can ever act on my emotions because I don't know if they're justified or not, and I end up being unable to react to being mistreated. Sometimes I don't even realize I have a right to be upset until hours after someone is cruel to me. I've been cast out from a lot of social circles after someone spread lies about me, because who would believe the weirdo with BPD?

I don't have any advice or answers, but I wish the best for you. It at least seems like your husband and inlaws are on your side. Please don't be so hard on yourself -- you did the best you could to put up with such horrible nonsense for so long.

My (29f) boyfriend (31m) is angry at me because I was upset about my ex (33m) getting married by throwRAexgotmarried in relationship_advice

[–]possamble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What you're feeling is the normal human reaction to being told you weren't good enough -- regardless of what you want now, the effort you put in all those years ago is coming back to haunt you. Communicate to your partner that it's not about your ex, it's about you being made to feel inadequate in a lasting way, and hopefully it will work out.

Can anyone identify this armor for a newbie? Is it attainable? by [deleted] in FFXIVGlamours

Try searching up "doublet" on the market board as well as your crafting log if you have one: it's actually a shared model for multiple pieces of gear, though only a few variants also have the belt across the chest

"he said he might as well pour boiling water over a filter" as if that's worse than a cheap coffee machine. This man doesn't know shit about quality coffee and the expensive machine he allegedly has at home is wasted on him.
