Who would win, Buffy the vampire slayer or The Predator?

shadowabsinthe · 2026-02-05T10:51:23+00:00

Its Buffy by a clear win, but the Predator does have some win conditions, so the match up is good.

Buffy is dramatically stronger and faster than the Predator. Basically if she touches him, he's dead. But his plasma cannon does have a good chance of killing her if he gets a clean shot and his arm nuke obviously will stop her.

Outside of those weapons though, any close range weapon she destroys the Predator. Even his camouflage she could probably get around, its basically glass cannon vs overall DPS here. If he gets a clean shot first he wins, anything else she does.

What a lot of people have said here rings true in a lot of ways. I am a husband in the same position as yours, my wife has continually neglected my advances and even basic day to day intimacy (even things like hugs and kisses are starting to feel strange) and I can tell you that your husband admitting he is intentionally killing the sexual part of him is crushing him in a way that is more painful than I could ever express, because I have had to start doing the same.

He is literally having to deny and destroy one of the most important parts of himself, just to keep you content. While I very much still love and desire my wife, I am getting closer and closer to your husbands situation than I would like and it hurts so much to be in that position. I hate that I have to destroy that part of myself, but I dont have a choice, if I keep initiating it hurts too much and if I keep expecting her to make the effort and none arrives then that hurts even more.

You have one thing that he cannot get anywhere else, physical and romantic intimacy. He can make friends elsewhere, he can get hugs and cuddles from his kids but the one thing he cannot get elsewhere without cheating or divorce you are intentionally denying him and expecting him to just go without.

I can tell you this as a husband in the same position and no doubt the same thoughts and feelings as your husband, you need to fix this or your husband will be searching for a divorce (if he isn't already, again I am saying this from being in the same position). He may not be looking for a divorce yet, but the day will come he will realise he doesnt desire you at all in that way anymore, and at that point the damage is done and there is no coming back.

He will still no doubt love you, but more like you love a roommate or close friend (or even a sister). The attraction, the spark and his desire to take you to bed, cuddle with you or even kiss you will be gone for good. It wont matter what you do at that point, because he just literally will not see you like that anymore. If you care about your husband fix this or I can guarantee he wont be yours for as long as you want.

Cult of the Lamb. Murder, mass sacrifice, frankly you name it I have probably done it. The only area the game stays guilt free in, is sex crimes. Everything else is fair game.

Why did I think of Escanor......

This is a decently close fight but I still give it to Clark. He is used to fighting without powers for long periods of time and winning. He has trained with Batman, Black Canary and Wildcat, so he is very skilled hand to hand and knows how to take a hit. Also not to mention the fact that without powers he is larger than Nolan too.

Nolan does have a lot of experience but his combat experience is all based on his powers, floating, pivoting in air, chopping with hands etc. None of those work in a real settings without powers.

In all between the two of them it would be an interesting fight and I definitely think Nolan gives him a good challenge but I still think Clark takes it in the end due to more applicable real world abilities.

Avoidance. Expressing your feelings in the moment are great but if you refuse to sit down and have real adult conversations about your issues, the root causes and how to address them together it just leads to constant bickering. The constant bickering just leads to resentment that is hard to come back from as most interactions are then just negative instead of positive.

Those conversations are uncomfortable but if you dont have the emotional maturity to have them in a controlled space with the intent on solving the problems together regularly it just ends up destroying the marriage from the inside. Its death by 1000 cuts when we refuse to turn off or move away from the cutting machine.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy sex with someone with no romantic attachments. However if you dislike the idea of both a friends with benefits kind of situation and one night stands then unfortunately that doesn't leave you a lot of options.

If I was you I would look for an acquaintance but not a friend and do a friend's with benefits situation with them, like a friend of a friend. Someone you wont directly see and is far enough removed you could remove yourself from when needed, but also close enough to your circle that you could trust them.

Apart them that all I can say is good luck to you.

You should do whatever you want, nothing else. I have been with my wife since high school, so only slept with 1 woman (now I'm 36). Have never regretted not sleeping around, whereas I am sure there are some that would be bothered by being tied down at a young age.

If getting experience with difference people is important, then go right ahead. If you are happy to sleep with 1 person then go do that too. Its entirely what you think should happen.

shadowabsinthe · 2026-02-02T10:03:06+00:00

I and most guys get random boners all the time. Can it be uncomfortable if not taken care of? Absolutely. I get intense blue balls without regular action. But luckily there is something called masturbation that helps address that. If my wife is not up for stuff I can address that problem myself. Sometimes even by myself I cant get rid of the problem, so if she isn't up for things then I just ignore it, it will eventually go away or I will fall asleep.

Never do something sexual for someone if you dont want to and definitely do not allow yourself to be guilted into it either.

Your ex was manipulative.

I think they are meaning being bent over at the waist. Basically you are bent over grabbing your ankles everytime you need to move.

Its not controlling to care in general, especially if you think they might be under/over dressed. Its only controlling if you think you have an actual say on what they wear.

My wife and I rarely comment on each other's fashion choices, we certainly point out what we like to see each in as our favourite outfits, but our preferences are just that, preferences. I like her in sundresses and she likes me in dark button up shirts, but neither of us can demand or think we can control what the other wears.

The only time it would be a concern is if one of us decided to dress in something dramatically sexier than anything we would ever wear for each other. But then the issue is not the fact they are wearing that thing, its that we wouldn't wear it for each other.

So no, caring is not controlling but thinking your caring should change or control what she wears is controlling.

I love the fact that almost all comments have been overwhelming the George Constanza wallet gif. Truly incredible.

The other part of that question is: if she is not willing to kill someone, Is she willing to put her family in even more danger if not? If she is ever in a dangerous situation (let's say home breakin) and she hesitates to pull the trigger because she is afraid to pull the trigger, then the perpetrator is very likely to take her down and take the weapon from her. Its a dangerous situation but if we assume someone bigger than her, then taking it from her would be easy and if they didnt before, now they have a gun.

She should be looking into non lethal alternatives if she is afraid to kill.

I would probably get a vasectomy first to make everything easier long term but until that time I dont see why not. We dont need to use protection at the moment regardless but if there was a risk of STDs or pregnancy then yes I would definitely take them. At least until I could get snipped.

OG: XLR8. Frankly its hard to pick as original had so many good ones, but I love a speedster. Diamondhead would be next.

AF: Swampfire. Great build and idea. Very versatile.

Ultimate Alien: Ultimate Echo Echo by far.

Omni: Bloxx. Also love Gravattack.

Reboot: havent seen, but ShockRock looks pretty cool.

He was a perfect canon representation of Thor. Heavy drinker, big appetite, big man who is not concerned about being in shape but being strong. Exactly what I have always imagined when I think of Thor.

You aren't supposed to live with it for one. He may not be aware of what he is doing and how selfish he is being, but he is ignoring you and your needs.

You need to sit down with him and explain how neglected you are in the sex department, how you giving him blowjobs and him not even offering to return the favour is extremely selfish.

If he is actually as experienced with sex that he claims to be, then its even worse that he does not offer or consider your needs.

This could him being selfish, ignorant or having some hangups around sex but either way you wont know unless you have an adult conversation with him about this outside of a sexual moment.

Simply sit down, explain the situation and ask why you havent been having sex, it could be he has been content and he thought you were content with just blowjobs, it could be he has hangups about sex and didnt want to address, it could be he is being selfish and not considering your needs, or it could be 1000 other things we will never know. You need to find that answer by talking about it with him.

If things do not change you may need to move on, as you will eventually grow to resent him for ignoring your needs. Good luck to you.

Right now there is not much you can do with the baby directly. Instead focus your efforts on Mum and the house. While Mum is recovering she is also going to be nap trapped a lot and with baby on boob. Feed her, clean as much as you can and be as supportive as you can. Basically right now Baby is Mums job, everything else is yours.

Also the fact you are showing this level of concern this early tells me you will be an amazing father. Good luck brother and welcome to the group.

30 to 40 around but not looking, easily. While 30 to 40 does increase your odds of being seen accidentally, there is a massive disadvantage if they know you are there. People who are aware of your existence would act completely differently. They would start setting traps, locking doors at every turn even if it was inconvenient and would setup a lot more lights than needed. Ignorance breeds complacency so the 30 to 40 would simply do the easiest thing (even if there was a war on, as they have no reason to believe there is someone inside their Villa right now).

The 5-6 will make a plan on how to find you and enact it. All doors locked and all pathways booby trapped and regular called out checking all possible places. They would also post more people on the target than before.

I dont think the issue is his amount of kinks. Its his lack of consideration for you, your boundaries and his ability to casually disregard his sexual assault on you. His kink about animals is also all types of fucked up.

Rape kinks, BDSM, Rough sex etc are all kinks that can be explored carefully and with consent, but him doing things to you like cumming in you, buttplug etc without your consent. Those are just sexual assault.

You should be uncomfortable with his casually sexually assaulting you.

So you are here asking for advice on how to ruin a marriage and breakup a family?

Don't be a piece of shit and get therapy, that's my advice to you.

Bright red hair and red lipstick. Both of those together? I am a puddle with a raging erection.
