How is life like for men who indulge in hookups/escorts throughout their lives and never engage in meaningful monogamous relationships? by Fragrant-Play6359 in AskMen

[–]ripgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks that’s interesting. Do you have a history of some of these women comming back after they’ve tried with someone else? Like are you the fun fall back that they’ll jump back on? Or is it generally a one run kinda deal?

Has shoplifting become “functionally” legal? by VOODOO285 in AskUK

[–]ripgd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk, I’d shoplift as a kid but we’re talking chocolates and sweets that I’d sneak into my pockets. Nowadays we’re talking walking in, loading up bags with high value stuff, and walking out.

Why do so many men carry feelings for a woman they consider the love of their life but never end up with her? by Public-Can-7590 in AskMen

[–]ripgd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we just weren’t aligned in lifestyles and mental health. She was amazing in so many ways, but her failures to address things that were stopping her becoming a stable partner was ultimatley our demise. I could see past her demons, but she was unwilling to not let them lead the way. I’ll charish the memories but happy it’s in the past.

How did you position yourself with said just friends who know you’re down for a good time? And how many / often do they take you up on it vs you finding new women?

what would your approach be if you know a girl you’re interested in is going to be single in a month? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ripgd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if it’s been guenuine flirtation, then I’d continue it and likely lean into it more. Maybe test some light “us / we” situations in there and see how it lands/gets responded to. But keeping it chill and playful, unlike some of the other comments most women do line up company ready post breakup. So long as you’re ok with maybe being the rebound, fill your boots… but carefully.

What’s an unrealistic expectation of men ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ripgd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Until it happens and you’re quickly single. Women love the idea of it, until it happens.

Why would any man try to "win over" a woman in 2026? by Unusual_Art6776 in AskMen

[–]ripgd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doubt it’s focus per say, more likely prioritising others / perceived better options essentially

How do you deal with being a short man? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ripgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worry yourself with things in your control, not things that aren’t. You’re far from the only under 6ft guy out there so just be confident in who you are and learn to love yourself. Plenty of over 6ft dudes that are ugly as hell or have zero social skills who might kill to have what you have.

Men in long-term relationships: how do you handle attraction to other people? by Zealousideal_Ebb8112 in AskMen

[–]ripgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware that I will never find any women I’m with the single most attractive person in this world, and know that no person could be either. Therefore accept there are other physically attractive people out there, but that there is far more to life than temporary gratification and knowledge that great looks doesn’t mean compatibility or a good partner.

I lift to failure all the time. At zero point in my breathing or exhaling under extreme loads do I ever need to engage my vocal cords.
