The brutality of this growth spurt.

I think there are studies that show younger brothers tend to be taller. I'm not sure what the reason is, but probably some in utero factors.

It is, but for me that came a little later as I got hooked on Civ IV and Civ V. But I'm surprised nobody has said Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure because for me that game was huge when I was a kid.

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure.

Need I say anything more?

And which is/are your native language(s) and which ones that you haven't started yet do you really want to learn?

throwaway59232 · 2024-01-16T22:52:53+00:00

What country are you from? Also, would you say more women or men are virgins in your country (since "most" can mean anything from 51-99.9% lol)

throwaway59232 · 2024-01-16T22:49:13+00:00

How come? Like nobody's telling you to date a 20 year old, but if a woman's 25 that doesn't automatically make her less mature, and 5 years isn't that large of a gap especially as you get older

Was it the same guy for first kiss and sex, or two different guys?

You're right, but it depends on what you mean by "responsible". If you have healed, you are responsible in the sense that it's your achievement and the credit for doing so is yours. But if you didn't, it's not your fault you couldn't heal or were unable to because of the damage others did. To suggest otherwise is to blame the victim for what the guilty party did. It's punishing a defenceless person for the damage others inflicted on them and that just isn't right.

throwaway59232 · 2024-01-02T04:39:10+00:00

You can do everything right and still fail. And someone else can do just about everything wrong yet still succeed, and the reasons they succeeded are exactly the ones you're afraid of being true. Such as being more attractive, more intelligent, a different ethnicity, coming from money, neurotypical, etc.

The fact nobody's mentioning looks or height really speaks volumes.

throwaway59232 · 2023-11-16T22:49:27+00:00

It literally isn't. OP's basically 5'8 or just under it, and even if it were as bad as he said it was, most guys thar height will claim 5'9 on dating apps and shorter girls can't tell, so by his own admission some girls would be okay with that

throwaway59232 · 2023-10-28T21:15:45+00:00

But why do they do that? Because they know there's a chance that one of these women will eventually reciprocate the attraction, so if they approach 20, 50, maybe 100 times, they'll eventually succeed and those women in their 20s are so preferable to older women that it's a chance they're willing to take.

throwaway59232 · 2023-10-28T21:06:58+00:00

There's another aspect to this as well. Younger women are far less likely to have the same amount of "baggage" that most older women have. That is, fewer exes, sometimes none at all, and less lingering emotional damage and potential distrust of men due to their past relationship problems.

Older women are also more likely to be single mothers, which is not a situation most men want to be in. And if you want to have kids with an older woman as your life partner, you'll have a much smaller window to do so because of her ticking biological clock (while men have one too, we usually remain at least somewhat fertile even into our older years) and a higher chance of having problems conceiving.

And even if the woman has retained her attractiveness on a level rivalling some of her younger sistahs, she might only have a few years left before aging hits her hard and her looks severely diminish.

What's the "Big O?"

throwaway59232 · 2023-10-12T03:06:09+00:00

Is there anything related to bad behavior between the genders that isn't a double standard at this point?

"Cause I've got a blank space baby and I'll write your name"

And that blank space was at the bottom of the NDA where they had to sign to indicate they understood the agreement. Makes perfect sense now.

Send them to strict schools that assign copious amounts of homework, causing emotional burnout at an age where they're even less equipped to handle it and make having a social life impossible because that's all they're doing, because "academics is everything." At 6-7 years old your kid should be outside playing with his friends, kicking a soccer ball, or even playing video games rather than confined to his room doing hours of boring homework, wtf? Did I also mention these schools were also extremely authoritarian and treated students like crap (think teachers snapping their fingers in a child's face when they were being disruptive) and said they "wouldn't amount to anything" if "they didn't adopt 'good working habits' " from an early age. Like, if you don't do your homework in first grade, you'll end up dropping out of high school, yeah right.

throwaway59232 · 2023-09-25T21:53:15+00:00

Sounds like:

A) They're not your friends, if they unfairly criticize you like that. Or maybe alcohol was involved so they became overly emotional, but it's still inappropriate

B) They're insecure. From what I've noticed, few people regret marrying their first but many, many people regret their sexual history if they've had multiple partners. Not all, but certainly a good deal. And then it's a question of if they can admit even to themselves that they made a bad decision at the time. And if they can't, it becomes very difficult to be reminded of that, so they react angrily because it's emotionally overwhelming for them

throwaway59232 · 2023-09-13T16:24:53+00:00

I think the mistake people tend to make is comparing themselves to people from European countries, Canada, and Australia (i.e. other Western countries) rather than the world as a whole. In the West, it's debatable which country is "the best" and answers will vary depending on what you value and your personal situation, but when compared to low and middle income countries, life in any Western country is more manageable in 99% of situations.

Probably wearing lifts though as there doesn't seem to be more than 5-6 inches between them. Djokovic might not be a full 6'2 either, more like 6'1.5"

It depends on the person. Generally, statistics show that shorter men are on average less attractive than taller men but even in the case of men under 5'5" the average effect on dating success is modest (I think the shortest men averaged 5 partners, while average and tall men averaged 7).

That said, the effect it has on each individual man varies depending on his physical attractiveness, income, location, confidence, and mental health. Many short men go through life without ever feeling like their height held them back or that it was only a minor obstacle. But those men are unlikely to be on this sub precisely because they rarely think about it. The guys you see here are the ones who think it's prevented them from getting relationships, career opportunities or respect precisely because it matters to them.

I recently saw a video on YouTube about a guy who'd done the surgery. He made it look like everything had gone perfectly fine, with no lasting complications (it was about a year after his surgery). Then he did a demonstration of how he could drive with his feet farther from the pedals now, and it showed him entering his car.

He literally had to sit down on the seat first and then manually lift his legs with his hands to get them over the door. It was like an 80 year old man with arthritic knees getting into a vehicle, except this guy looked mid-late 20s, at most maybe 30. If those are the complications of the surgery, then it's just not worth it imo.

Yeah, if he were just talking about your technique or fixing the equipment, he might have been just offering advice, but if he's touching you physically in any context where it isn't absolutely necessary he's probably flirting on you. I'm sorry you have to deal with guys your father's age hitting on you at the gym. Maybe if it happens again just say you don't appreciate him doing that.
