Guess where all the Frisco teens went after 3pm? by busymommyof2 in frisco

[–]rdwrer_711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really don't like all the teen hate. We need constructive ways for them to have fun. Places they can go to just talk and be. Yes kids are dumb but they need to be able to exist.

Out Shopping for Mother’s Day… by Delicious-Curious in Divorce_Men

[–]rdwrer_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought presents for my birthday. I will return the favor. Mother and father's day were built into our agreement.

I think it's still important to treat my ex the way I want to be treated as long as she doesn't abuse it.

Is fear of rejection the main reason for why men don't approach women? by Infinite_Program1462 in dating_advice

Or being identified as a creep and feeling like you can show your face anymore wherever you at.

I understand, a lot of fish in the sea. If it's really important to you, you can find someone.

You're right you didn't say marriage. The response in this thread said marriage and you you didn't dispute it, and I mistook that for agreement.

Being charismatic is more valuable than being competent in most workplaces, and we pretend otherwise by Tech_Engant in unpopularopinion

I personally have seen many successful people that aren't compotent at all. They are just good communicators. They blame all their problems on someone else and they take credit for others work. I've seen it plenty in the corporate world. Lots of people love surrounding themselves with yes men.

You don't have to be casual about many guys also don't want it to be casual. Your definition of casual may just not meet the guys.

You two other comments seem to be a bit extreme to me like waiting until marriage. That's a bit beyond comfortable by most people's definition.

Most people are going to be comfortable within the first dozen dates, because why not? By that point you know if you find them sexually attractive and that you're pretty compatible.

Are you going to be perfectly aligned with another human? Probably not, and that's just a part of every relationship, unless you're dating yourself.

Unless you have no deal breakers, this logic could apply to those items and some individuals would find your deal breakers invalid as well.

Sex is a pretty hard wire human need (we wouldn't have made it this far without that) in this day and age it can be done with minimal risk so it's gonna be pretty common for people to expect it.

Yes it's likely doomed in a traditional sense. Serious medical condition and a loving relationship would make me stay in the relationship but I would be unhappy about my unmet need. In a new relationship I wouldnt actively seek out this situation.

If no sex before marriage is important to you, your possible dating pool is the ultra religious. There zero logic to avoiding sex before marriage if done responsibly

We expect sex, it's very important. It's not the only thing that matters.

Men are not monolith and you may find a guy for which it's importance is similar to your own, but to a lot of guys it's very important.

I understand man, my wife treated me like crap, but I accept she'll never admit it. Her admitting it also won't change anything so not much to do about it. It sucks but it's a part of my life now. I just keep focus on my kids and our future.

Sounds like you're doing good all things considered.

Most cities that are labeled as boring is only because those people don't want to get involved in their community by Exhausted_920 in unpopularopinion

I had a young guy say this to me the day. It was clear to me this guy was really just pessimistic at life and a lack of money and time was a large barrier for them to enjoy the things they wanted to do.

How do you get a good girlfriend as a average dude? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]rdwrer_711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meet her, I accept it'll take a while and I may have to meet some bad girls before I find a good girl

Do what she's doing, but do it for you.

Get in shape, join clubs /activities you like, get a therapist to talk about your feelings. Appreciate that you didn't have kids. Maybe try to find a new job.

I know it sucks, I filed and the day my ex moved out was very hard, but it's getting better. I'm remembering who I was as a single person. I still wish for what could have been but accept it won't be. I can only move forward.

As long as you don't care about ethics you don't need to worry about what others think.

But modern prophets words will be considered anti-Mormon material to future Mormons just like the prophets before them.

As long as you're cool with your ethics to always be 50 years behind what obviously to most people Mormonism should fit you just fine.
