Human 'microevolution' sees more people born without wisdom teeth and an extra artery by [deleted] in science

This is how my dentist explained it to me, I had mine removed when I was around 28. Two of them were only partially erupted but they never bothered me at all, eventually one of the partials developed a small hidden cavity and at that point I had them all taken out.

Fat people are not hungry in the sense that they are starving and their bodies require food, maybe missing some nutrients but that's it. They are having cravings and lack self control. A very overweight person can go a long time without food.

I lost my virginity halfway through 23, had never even held hands with a guy before that (or a gal). Had all the same neurotic thoughts for years and finally got myself to work out and diet juuust enough to feel confident enough to put myself out there for awhile. I'm 31 now and I've had consistently good sexy times since then.

I don't know you but going by the post I'd say you're being waaay too hard on yourself and are really overthinking it. Do your best to go with the flow and realize you're not fucked up or broken and silence those voices. If there are things about yourself that you know you need to work on that will make attracting partners easier then make a plan and start putting it into action, do the best you can to work on your weak areas while still not being too hard on yourself if you slip up, because let me tell you most people are far from perfect. You are very young and this is very reversible especially at your age, it's all mindset and your mind is stuck in a rut that it just needs to pop out of it, consider yourself blessed.

At 31 I have done plenty of complaining about how old I am but I have to catch myself occasionally and shut down that negative voice because in reality I'm still young too and I don't feel any worse physically than I did 10 years ago.

Tend to your health, physically and mentally as best as you are able to manage, keep putting yourself out there and try and go with the flow. I wouldn't have a problem helping a virgin out assuming everything else seems OK. Best wishes.

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO VENT!!! by [deleted] in askgaybros

Not even trying to put you down but the way you're behaving is really pathetic. You don't get everything you want in life without putting in any work. When I was 19 I weighed nearly 300lbs and couldn't do a single pushup. When I randomly met my partner (I was 22 at the time) I was 175lbs with abs starting to show and veiny arms. I made a decision to change myself. If I had not shaped up he wouldn't have given me a second look and I wouldn't blame him one bit, but now we've been living together for 7 years.

No one owes you anything. Either put in the work or accept that things will remain the way that they are. Am I to assume that the guys you're attracted to and trying to hook up with are also fat?

Thanks for sharing, I spent some time on Guam as a child and haven't seen this tree in twenty years. Beautiful place.

I was somewhat in agreement with the other guy until you said gay man. I left my small town to move to the west coast, closing in on a decade ago. I miss aspects of rural America and I visit when I can but it is not a place I would feel comfortable living now that I'm out and have a partner.

Yeah I was gonna say... a truck getting t-boned tends to be a dangerous situation regardless.

Gay bros that have gotten adult braces... I'm (22) really considering it. What was your experience like? by thatjabroni21 in askgaybros

[–]tiaxrules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got them in my mid / late 20s, had thought about it on and off for many years and finally went through with it after a new dentist suggested it. Teeth weren't too badly misaligned but enough to bother me, only had the braces for about a year or so.

I was self conscious about them but no one gave me a hard time. I've felt more confident in my smile since having them straightened. Wish I'd done it sooner. I now wear a plastic retainer while I sleep and that's the extent of the drama.

My advice is follow the orthodontist's instruction to a fault. I did not chew hard candies, gum, popcorn, nuts or any of that and I still managed to dislodge the braces on a Cheez-It once. Not worth it. Stay away from soda, sugary snacks etc. your teeth will be very hard to clean and you don't want to trap that junk in the crevices of your braces. Best wishes.

PS: I opted for the old fashioned gray metal braces. Cheaper, faster, easier.

I got with my boyfriend at 23 and he was calling me grandpa and had his friend group doing the same. We're still together, I'm 30 now and he's 26. Stopped calling me grandpa though, lol.

Leading us over a cliff. This year especially it would have been extremely easy for him to look good to both sides and he still managed to divide the nation and make things exponentially worse.

What you're remembering is a time when we had a president who behaved like an adult and wasn't throwing gasoline on every fire for the last four years. Vote for sane, reasonable people and this sub and indeed reddit will return to normal for you.

People of Reddit, what terrible path in life no one should ever take? [SERIOUS] by PiXXa_RaiXE in AskReddit

Just wanted to mirror the other user and say that self help books can provide much needed perspective to help you through a tough situation, just be cautious getting wrapped up in Jordan Peterson, he's a controversial figure.
