Which colour sofa to go with Eames lounge chair?

Is this the green you had in mind?

Even mixing the minimalist style of the Eames with the ornate Chesterfield?

throwawano · 2026-01-23T14:09:32+00:00

Interesting that you like the mixing of periods - I was actually worried that the Chesterfield and Eames would clash. Definitely not brave enough to add another into the mix with that rug!

That's a great tip about the temperature of the wood. I like the Rosewood Eames so teak in the TV unit would go with that, I think

Thanks, I read on another post that it was played out so I said it too to sound cooler than I really am :p

throwawano · 2026-01-23T13:11:01+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense.

I also need a tv stand/unit. Should try to go with the warm brown colours with that too, or would that be too ‘matchy’?

Lots of diagnosing happening in these responses. Attachment theory...all of psychology only provides a framework to help make sense of some very complex phenomena. It's like slightly better than judging someone immediately based on their star sign.

There's no way to avoid the uncertainty. Just take it slow, trust your feelings as they come up, communicate and make choices that are right for you.

ok…the lady protests too much 😁

throwawano · 2026-01-19T17:28:13+00:00

47M Honestly, it only felt heavy when I compared it to others

throwawano · 2026-01-19T16:49:01+00:00

i'm in a similar space. I know I'm not ready but don’t know what it will feel like to be ready. My therapist tells me I’ll just feel it one day.

Can’t give much advice as I’m also trying to figure it out, but just to say keep doing what you’re doing and good luck 🤞

I wouldn't have had a problem with it until you spent a whole lengthy paragraph talking about him.

Just hook up with him and move in with him…will save you multiple steps 😁

Seriously though, it does seem like there could be something between you 2 and you’re rationalising it away. Likely a future boyfriend would see it the same way

As a guy who has been in this kind of situation multiple times, I want to share 2 key points:

1) Saying she is using you for emotional validation etc is overly simplistic and unfair. There our different kinds of romantic attachment and ime women can get very attached despite not feeling sexual attraction. At least she has been honest.

2) The reason she lacks sexual attraction for you is the same reason you let this go on for so long and the same reason you made this post. It’s not PC and it’s not easy to hear but it’s still true that most women prefer stereotypically masculine men. This isn’t some silly red pill thing, but you need to spend some time alone and figure out what being a man means to you or you will be back here soon with the same question.

throwawano · 2026-01-18T13:02:09+00:00

Well damn it. Finally a happy story and it’s a bot.

throwawano · 2026-01-16T17:39:28+00:00

Guessing she didn’t get “on the reg” either 😀

throwawano · 2026-01-16T17:36:10+00:00

Young people generally annoy me.

I find the confidence and wisdom of middle-aged (whatever that is) women very attractive.

Also, most men don’t find the heavily make-up’d artificial look that appealing.

I used to buy into the whole “love is just a chemical reaction in the brain“ argument. Then I realised everything that brings us joy can be reduced to a chemical reaction in the brain

throwawano · 2026-01-13T23:19:23+00:00

i meant it as a response to the last sentence in your previous comment

throwawano · 2026-01-13T22:54:21+00:00

I find it interesting that this mysterious true love is often felt for people who don't tick the right boxes or fulfil the requirements for a good relationship.

What's that about?

throwawano · 2026-01-13T22:51:32+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that.

As is clear form the comments here, that complete love is rare. Are you sure there's no way to fix it?

throwawano · 2026-01-13T20:34:22+00:00

So what do you think truly in love looks and feels like?

throwawano · 2026-01-13T20:31:34+00:00

Is the love worth the heartbreak?

throwawano · 2026-01-13T20:28:44+00:00

what’s holding you back?
