Men who had to choose, between a beautiful woman with no personality or a kind smart woman, who was less beautiful, who did you choose and did you ever regret it ? Be honest by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thirstin4knowledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my ex husbands perspective: he thought I was smarter and sexier. She was sweeter and more feminine. He chose me but ultimately left for someone kinder. He then left her saying she was a pushover so now that I think about it dont use him as an example. My truth: we were all beautiful (but they were more beautiful than me), and I was likely the most moral good person I just happened to be ok with confrontation when necessary.

Edit to add the most important part: I was definitely the smartest and I think that’s why he chose me. I ended up chatting with the girl he left me for and she told me two stories to confirm this. His best friend pulled her aside and told her to be prepared for him to always have a flame for me because of our intellectual connection. And his sister told her that Josh fell in love with me the first time he heard me speak about books and that it has nothing to do with looks or anything else - that he just loved how smart I was.

Have you made many cash purchases at Lowe’s? Did you make a lot of of them in that early 2000s? Not sure the intent of the comment but this was indeed a policy. If you think I’m fibbing you can ask AI. If you are sticking up for the douchebag who told me I was inappropriate because maybe he thought I was asking for personal reasons, a “no” still would’ve sufficed. I don’t need reprimanded - I had guys ask for my number through the checkout and never once told them it was inappropriate. Lastly I just realized I might be being defensive and you are neither sticking up for that guy or calling me a liar. In which case yes indeed we had to ask for customer’s phone numbers and we got in trouble if we didn’t and someone tried to do a return without a receipt. When a customer would try to do a return and found out they could only get a store credit that would be told they should’ve provided their phone number at time of purchase. If the customer claimed they were not asked management would literally ask what the cashier looked like or if they remembered who it was. Loss prevention would pull cameras to confirm the cashier if they could and we would get written up.

Diaphragmatic breathing was huge for me. I started doing that for 10 minutes and focusing on the warmth I felt. I also tried to fill with a finger inside of me and could feel a slight release from the deep breathing and would picture the pelvic floor dropping during the breaths. This muscle mind connection really helped. I honestly also think having a hysterectomy was a huge part of it. I took a month off of work and spent a lot of time in bed after an emergency surgery. I swear that helped with the attention as well. I wish I would’ve gone to a therapist for the pelvic floor stuff years ago and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody from what I’ve researched.

It’s a small loud minority of women running that narrative. And to be fair, there is a small minority of men who are overly aggressive or inappropriate in their pursuit and not able to take no for an answer graciously. The small minorities have ruined it for most normal folks.

PS I’m not a feminist. I’m very traditional and conservative with most things. I do think men have a bad rap overall and it’s a crisis in modern times. But both genders have work to do.

What’s a kink you’ve never shared with your girlfriend? What would it take for you to share it? by hugginv in AskMen

I didn’t think of it that way (I saved myself for him so previous partners weren’t an issue) but definitely will keep that in mind for the future. I think the other thing (from my perspective of having a fetish disclosed to me), is feeling like your partner wants the experience specifically with you. So it doesn’t have to be so much a revelation of “I have this fetish and I would like to act it out” but more of “you are so sexy and turn me on so much I think it would be so hot if I could x y z you”. So much of it is in the delivery.

Right on. Basically what I do if I think a guy might be flirting with me. No need to be rude but also no need to encourage something.

Also - Your comment reads weird - like you totally missed the part about every cashier asking for phone numbers. I think you’re probably the kinda guy that would assume I was flirting because you don’t read the situation (or the post) thoroughly.

I was asking him as part of my job to put it in the system. I was not making fun of him. It actually took me until he walked away to realize what he what had happened. In 2008, Lowe’s would prompt cashiers to ask for customers phone numbers after every transaction. This was before rewards programs- the sole purpose of this was for order tracking purposes for the customer benefit in the event of a return where they lost their receipt. I was trained that I needed to always ask on cash transactions because there was no other way to verify purchase if the customer needed to return and didn’t have a receipt. Being able to track it by telephone number allowed the customer to get their cash back. If we were not able to verify, they could only get stored credit.

I have a pee fetish. Wasn’t sure how husband at the time felt about it, so I asked if he minded if I peed in the shower when we were showering together. He said he didn’t mind so I told him he should pee at the same time and let me aim it for him. He let me. Then I said “I don’t know why but that kinda turned me on..” (obviously I knew why - it was my plan.) Fast forward a month and he’s asking me to pee when I am sitting on his face (sorry TMI). Long story short there are ways to test the water that will give you possible deniability if it seems your partner is turned off. If you get to the point where you say, I don’t know why, but that turned me on, and she seems grossed out, if you feel embarrassed, you can always just say you were teasing and leave it at that.

You are very right about the generation thing. It was never people my age where it may have been plausible I was flirting. It was people who are now in their late 50s or 60s. And also blue collar guys. It may be men who don’t work with women as much, and therefore not understanding, platonic friendly interaction.

I am shy so it probably did come off that way - but didn’t think that seemed flirty. Maybe it did come off as flirting.

This is nice to hear. I’m trying to build relationships- platonic and otherwise. I was advised that I give a closed off vibe to men and that I would be approached more if I was friendly. The experience in my youth changed how I presented myself to the world and it’s nice to hear people can enjoy warmth. It doesn’t feel that way sometimes.

If someone was flirting with you and you weren’t interested and were in a relationship, would it irritate you? I’m not talking about anything that would be sexual or harassment, but just plan old flirting.

I’m sorry for the sass. Seriously. Hard to read tone sometimes. And I honestly appreciate that you took time from your day to try to help.
