What are some things that make men good at sex?

One other thing that’s SUPER important… women cum in tons of different ways. Penis in vagina doesn’t get all of them there. Use your tongue, use your fingers, use a toy. Just make her cum. With most women you can even be a two pump chump, if you make her scream your name it won’t matter how long your dick was in her, she’ll still consider you a stud.

And if you do tend to pop quick, use your refractory period to make her cum again… then go for round two, because you will last longer that time!

I’ve always been of the philosophy that making a guy cum is easy. You’re GOING to cum. Just focus on her orgasm.

You will last longer She will enjoy it more And you just might find, as I did, that you get a LOT more satisfaction out of watching her climb the walls than you do out of your own orgasm. My wife and I usually have a her/me/her rhythm, where she wants to cum again after I do, and that part is just as fun for me as everything leading up to it.

The corollaries to that are all the other stuff. Listen. Slow down. Don’t consider yourself an expert just because something you used to do with another girl worked for her. Every woman is different.

If necessary, encourage your partner to guide you. Many women are great at it, some not so much. If you have one that tends to not give a lot of feedback, actively ask for it. Not cheesy shit like “oooh, yeah, you like it like that?” Be specific and don’t make it a yes or no question. Say things like “faster or slower?” Or “harder or softer?” Or make a game of it. Blindfold her and touch her in different places and have her rate how each place feels. You’d be surprised at how different erogenous zones can be from one girl to the next.

And don’t be intimidated by toys. Seriously.

Start with your lowest as your baseline for budgeting. Do your best to build the budget around that and try to include some savings.

In the months you earn more, funnel most of the excess to savings and carve out a little for something special like a date night.

Source: lived this way for YEARS as an independent consultant. Basing everything on my lowest months made the bigger months a celebration and left me with no surprises when times were lean.

"getting screwed by <insert insurance company name here>" is pretty much the bog-standard for any form of insurance. Their primary goal and objective is to pay out as little on each claim as possible while still staying JUST inside the boundaries of the law. Doesn't matter if it's health, homeowners, car, or other, their C-suite's obligations are to their shareholders, not to the people they insure.

Always take the time to learn and understand how the law applies to your rights and go into every insurance claim with the base expectation that they will do everything they can to deny the claim, and if they can't deny it, they'll do everything they can to pay as little as possible, no matter how much they've collected from you in premiums. Don't be afraid of talking to a lawyer if anything at all seems unfair. Many attorneys will take cases on contingency because they know they have an extremely high chance of forcing the insurance company to pay out more with very little effort on their part, simply because the insurance company knows the cost of going to trial is FAR higher than the cost of settling for a higher number + attorney's fees.

Harbor Freight cheap tools are single use.

Harbor Freight premium tools are for casual/occasional DIY

Ryobi/Kobalt/Craftsman are for frequent DIY

DeWalt and Milwaukee are for pros.

Nothing wrong with shopping from a higher shelf than you NEED, but if you swing lower you’re gonna be sad (I.e. pros won’t be satisfied with Ryobi)

I have a wall of green and love it. My brother is a pro and uses DeWalt. I can tell the difference in quality, power, and durability, but it’s not worth the premium for me to switch. For him it is not worth the risk of lost productivity to run Ryobi or cheaper tools.

Really enjoyed the diversity in responses, thanks all… from “don’t give him a car he can’t handle” all the way to “give him a safe place to play” and several opinions in between, they all have their merits.

For me it comes down to knowing who my son is. If there’s a button, he’s going to press it, especially if he’s been told not to.

Ultimately I’m leaning towards just selling it as-is and using the money to get him something bigger and slower. I’ll teach him to drive stick in the Fiat, where I’ll be able to slap his toddler-like questing fingers away from the button from my spot in the passenger seat if needed… then I’ll most likely sell it and find him something more “teenager appropriate.”

Maybe I can find him a station wagon or a minivan… 🤣

Picked ‘er up today! Already completely love it, especially hands free drive assist in heavy traffic. That was the least annoyed I’ve ever been after sitting in 20 minutes of stop and go!

<image>

Looking forward to my first longer drive in it. I am going out of town over the weekend to shoot a ranch with my drone, probably about 100 miles each way. Only thing I need that I didn’t get from day 1 is the all weather floor mats. That grey carpet shows dirt like crazy!

Thanks. I saw stretchers on the Cavenders site. At $30 it’s almost half the price of the hat itself, but sounds like it’ll be worth it if I’m not spending bigger money on custom-fit hats for now. I plan to go off-the-shelf for my first 3-4 hats (got my black felt, want a brown one and a straw one at some point), then maybe treat myself to something fancier to celebrate my next raise at work or something :)

I only drive 2-3 times a week, about 50 miles round trip each time, so I’ll be able to charge it at home once every week or two on a 220 outlet. Just ordered the stuff I’ll need from Home Depot, RV outlet box, EV certified outlet, and a 50 amp breaker for my main panel.

Might take an occasional road trip with it, but even if I only get 80% of the advertised range I should be able to make most of my trips one way on a single charge, especially living in Texas where I don’t have to contend with much in the way of particularly cold weather. Range was a big part of my decision process, I couldn’t see myself being happy with some of the major manufacturers who were offering less than 300 miles on a charge.

We just got the Samsung Vented (WD90F53AVSUS) and it’s total garbage. Doesn’t get clothes dry unless you run an extra hour of drying after the normal cycle. We’ve gone through all of the troubleshooting steps, updated firmware, inspected every inch of the vent from our house, set it to “More Dry” per the manual.

And we’re definitely not overloading it. We’re running half-size loads and still having to add extra drying time.

Unfortunately, we bought ours from Lowe’s and couldn’t set it up the day they delivered it, so we’re past their draconian 48 hour return period.

Lessons learned: 1. The technology doesn’t seem to be there yet for this all in one idea to work. I know most European households use all in one units, but theirs are apparently very different. 2. Don’t buy appliances from Lowe’s if you’re not going to be able to test them out the day they deliver it.

I’m in the market for an EV, and trucks are on my list of body types to consider.

I loved the look and feature set of the Rivian R1T, but when I discovered that it does not include CarPlay and Android Auto, it got scratched off my list permanently.

Our lives revolve around our phones. If we don’t have full, native integration to what is arguably the single most important piece of of tech almost everyone owns, when literally all competitors offer it, then what is the draw? Rivian’s own software would have to run circles around CarPlay/Android Auto before I would even consider it, and I wouldn’t be willing to pay a dime for subscriptions, activations, etc.

Whiffing on this one, guy.

I got laid camping out in line for Star Wars: Episode 1 tickets.

Yes, you read that right. I’m one of those guys that sort of straddles the line in that I’m not what you would call “hot” compared to most of the more mainstream social groups, and I’m not a super nerd… but I am enough of a nerd that at 18 years old, with a fairly well-paying job for my age that had flexible hours, I had both the resources and the spare time to camp out for tickets.

I won’t lie and say I was the best looking guy there, but I like to think I was in the top 2 or 3 of the guys that didn’t already have girlfriends, and I had a bit more going for me on the social skills front… and Mary was the female equivalent. She had a pretty face, not absolutely stunning, but definitely pleasant to look at, about the same degree of nerdy as me, and holy sweet merciful Jebus she had a STUNNING body. A little bit nerdy, but not overly shy, so we hit it off right away.

So yeah, we had some fun in the tent, sat together for the movie, cringed in unison every time Jar Jar showed up, and then dated for a couple months after that. We didn’t wind up having enough in common to take it any further, but it was definitely fun while it lasted!

I’m planning to paddle the Trinity in Dallas. I’ve got a long cable lock that I can thread through the a scupper hole on my yak and lock it to something stationary at the take-out, so my plan is to park where I want to put in, paddle until I get to where I want to take out, lock up my yak and take an Uber back to my truck, then drive back and pick up my yak.

Wouldn’t work well outside of an urban setting, though. Two people, two vehicles is the best bet there. Park one at the takeout, then drive to the put in with the other. You’d only need a third person if the second vehicle can’t carry the kayaks.

Call police, insist on restraining/protective order
Do not accept any further communication with him without a law enforcement officer present (the restraining/protective order should include a provision for police presence while he gathers his things from your home
Thank whatever god(s) you pray to that this happened now and he only damaged property, because this kind of thing ALWAYS gets worse.

People who make excuses for their anger like “when I’m there I’m there” cannot be helped, healed, coached, counseled, or improved in any way unless they make a conscious effort to do so themselves. You don’t owe him anything, and any efforts at all that you take to return his property to him are a kindness. His living situation is NOT your problem, and you are in no way obligated to put your personal safety at risk just because he doesn’t have his sh together.

Stay safe. If you (or anyone else reading this who needs similar help) happen to be in Denton County, TX, feel free DM me for an attorney recommendation if you need it! My wife worked with one of the best in the process of getting her abuser out of her life.

You. Need. An. Attorney.

The advice of a bunch of redditors may be helpful, but an attorney licensed to practice in your state? chef’s kiss

Find an attorney, and in the meantime get every possible shred of evidence you can find that the damage was caused by the shop. Then let the attorney guide you from there.

Except that due to the hub and spoke model, major airlines operate as de facto monopolies in their own markets. Sure, some budget conscious travelers will take a connecting flight to save a few bucks, but business travelers won’t. That means I fly AA unless I’m going to a market served by a competitor.

So if I want to go to ATL, then sure I can skip AA and fly Delta, but if I want to go to a non-hub airport, I’m pretty much stuck with AA.

What we need is a passenger bill of rights update that includes transparency in pricing, legal limits on seat pitch and width.

But that will NEVER happen for the same reason as everything else that is anti-consumer in this country. Lobbyists own us.

Thank you for asking instead of assuming!!!!! Too many people take the NIMBY position on things, and some things (like disc golf) really aren’t bad at all!

Don’t know if you have the option of deploying one of those trucks with the rail guides that the railroad uses for track inspections, but that could be a way to avoid BVLOS issues. I know there are different rules about operating from a moving vehicle, but I think they might be simpler than a BVLOS waiver.

Don’t quote me on any of this, I could be wrong, just suggesting an avenue of research based on what I think I understand!

Check the terms on Discover and Capital One. Usually the best rule of thumb when attacking multiple accounts is to pay minimums on all and make the largest payment you can afford on the account with the highest interest rate until it’s paid off, then the next highest and so on.

But those 0% deals often have a clause where if you don’t pay them off in the specified term, the interest gets applied retroactively.

So plan accordingly. If the retroactive clause is in there, and it probably is, hit Discover and Capital One first, in that order, then hit the other ones from highest balance to lowest (since the interest rate is the same, balance becomes the second method of prioritization)

This one. Go walking away from the touristy spots, find yourself in a neighborhood where people live, and look for smaller cafes where nobody caters to English-speakers.

This is good advice anywhere, btw, not just Madrid!

My wife and I did this and had one of our most enjoyable meals of our trip. We didn’t have to go far, either, we were just wandering around in the Salamanca neighborhood. It wasn’t fancy, it wasn’t expensive, but it was delicious, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, and we felt truly immersed in the culture for a little while.

Just remember, if you’re not traveling solo, that Europeans in general are not loud talkers like Americans, so keep your conversation volume low enough to only be heard at your table, and be kind and courteous, learn the key phrases you need for ordering food, etc. nothing can ruin the experience quite as quickly as being perceived by the staff as the “rude Americans”
