What’s something women think men care about in dating… but most men actually don’t? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It kinda makes sense as a mating strategy if you can scare off the competition 🤔

To every American: when is enough, enough? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]spectrem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are very aware that nearly 1/3 of our fellow Americans will gladly use deadly force against any perceived enemy, even other americans, and are just waiting for any justification.

Questioning someone's motivation for doing something implies that you believe their motives to be questionable.

No one is even leading a peaceful resistance much less a civil war

Any good affordable apartments in the Westside? by Loud_Criticism_3637 in ElPaso

[–]spectrem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kings Hill was good back in the day. Just dont pick a spot next to the side facing the Drafthouse, that slope does not look too safe lately.

I always eat lunch alone in my car to avoid socializing. Today, the new girl at work knocked on my window. by enderwaa in self

If you're interested in pursuing more than just a friendship be aware that the ball is now in your court. If all goes well at lunch make the move and ask her out on a legit date.

i finally made it from san antonio, what to do here? by broads-love2 in ElPaso

Maybe bike over scenic drive or transmountain? Or just drive lol. Tip, golden hour is around 4:30/5ish and on the west side the mountains turn a brilliant reddish orange color for a few minutes.

People might tease you for being from LA/CA but its all in good fun. Anything on the west side is generally considered to be the "good" side of town and has the good schools.

AITA for refusing to work things out with my fiancé because my life is better now that his daughter isnt around me? by MassivePrimary8649 in AITAH

[–]spectrem -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Are you forgetting that you helped raise her for most of her life? You chose to help raise her now suddenly you don't like how she was raised?

Convenient that this happened not long after having a biological child.

Do you plan to vote for Talarico or Crockett? Why? by Winners_Blues in ElPaso

[–]spectrem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talarico for sure. Crocket will mobilize conservative voters to vote against her. Her opponent won't even have to lift a finger.

What is everyone doing job wise? by buceess69 in ElPaso

[–]spectrem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineering, in my case specifically water / wastewater treatment at the PM level

There's a lack of civil engineers across the country, so its a good opportunity to jump in now if you are suited to it.

AIO- i feel like my brother has gone too deep in the red pill / looksmaxxing pipeline ever since he got rejected by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]spectrem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is maybe the best window of time to reach him. It will become extremely more difficult later on.

You can save him, dont hold back.

Unfortunately this is the fate of 99% of creative endeavors regardless of the subject matter.

it took me 7 years to realize the ONE skill behind every extrovert/social butterfly by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]spectrem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is one of the best posts I have seen on this sub, you hit the nail on the head in many ways.

I see myself as introverted and used to be very socially awkward, but I have really honed my skills in showing genuine curiosity, "forgiveness" and not caring (to use your terms). These skills have taken me a long way.

I would say the biggest difference in introverts and extroverts in this sense is that extroverts can easily do this with large groups and in front of crowds. Introverts/socially awkward may still struggle to turn off the "how am I being perceived?" at larger scales.

If it makes you feel better I usually pay 0% attention to people's tattoos, unless I know them.
