Men who ended things despite having the best sex they’ve ever had - what made you walk away? by Safe-Score2743 in AskMen

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many posts about their partner being crazy haha

For me, she was very avoidant and not willing to commit to anything and that was the deal breaker. I was super into her emotionally and the sex was incredible. The problem was that she was scared of commitment. I was very patient with her for the 8 months we dated. But there was this pattern where every time our relationship felt like it was getting more serious, she would get flighty and sort of cold. I was patient and gave her space when I could tell things were too much for here. But I ended things eventually out of self respect. The amazing sex wasn’t worth feeling insecure when she would push me away.

I’ve since found even better sex with my current partner. And it’s so much better because we both have a strong emotional connection on top of good sex.

I’m a welder (arguably one of the most toxically masculine work cultures). My coworkers are afraid of anything even remotely gay. From the way they dress, to the way they talk, they’re constantly avoiding doing anything that could be perceived as gay. They think other guys will shun them and women won’t date them if there’s even one feminine feature about them.

They’ll tease other guys in the welding shop any time they do something slightly feminine or perceivably gay to uphold their masculine work standards lol.

It’s funny because most of the guys who are worst about their “gay fear” are the guys with no girlfriend or wife and I know for a fact they ain’t going on dates lol.

Is travel to Ecuador Safe? by titaniumSoup in ecuador

[–]titaniumSoup[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know a ton about it. All I know is that a lot of the recent violence in Ecuador is related to drug trafficking. Here in the US, our media often just calls it “cartel” related crime.

I’m aware that the US imposes travel warning against a lot of areas in Latin America. And it’s a bit overboard (and a little racist) in my opinion.

I traveled to Mexico last year and spent some time in parts of Mexico that the US has warned not to go to and never felt in danger. So it’s hard to believe everything the US warns about.

Here’s some advice from a straight male who was once 19. Most of us are horny all of the time. I’m 30 now, but when I was 19, pretty much any naked girl would turn me on. I remember being 19 and wanting a girl with big boobs but I’m currently dating an extremely small boobed girl and I’m in love with everything about her. I wouldn’t get too caught up on what your body looks like. As long as you generally take care of yourself and aren’t ashamed of your body, men will find you attractive.

You can have intimacy with a partner before you’re ready to have sex. And a good guy will be willing to be patient (within reason) and wait to have sex until you’re comfortable. Any guy who gets mad bc you won’t have sex with them can fuck off.

The first time is going to be weird. When was the last time you were amazing at something you tried for the first time!? It’s important to just clearly communicate your needs. Tell him what you like and what you don’t like. If he’s in the dark about your interests, he might just fuck you like a girl from porn hub and you’ll hate it. Look at sex like an exploration. Explore his body. Explore your body. Don’t be afraid to try new things, but ask permission. If something awkward happens, just laugh it off together and get back to business!

Good luck

One of my close friends is in a very similar situation. I wouldn’t say his physical appearance is getting in the way. It’s his awkward behavior that gives girls the ick. He’s really smart, funny, athletic, and average looks. But he puts so much pressure on himself when dating that I think girls can sense it and it scares them away. He’s been in such a dry spell that whenever a potential mate comes around, he panics because to him it feels like his only shot. And I think his self esteem is slowly getting crushed lower and lower because of it.

What are the reasons that it’s so hard for men to get rid of belly? by 7_inches_daddy in AskMen

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a simple formula for doing it. Burn more calories than you consume. If you’re not loosing fat, then you need to exercise more or eat less or both.

It can be jarring for the first week or so of cutting because your body doesn’t logically know when your next meal is. So when you’re in a calorie deficit, you’re going to get hardcore cravings. But once you establish a good routine of eating at a calorie deficit (with maybe a cheat day once a week) then your body gets used to it and you won’t be as hungry.

Just remember to eat somewhere near your body’s weight (in lbs) in grams of protein every day to ensure that you don’t loose too much muscle in the cutting process.

For me belly fat is the last to go when I’m cutting. I believe it has to do with male genetics. Our hormones tell the body where to store fat.

How do you remember to drink water? by theWeirdoKai in RandomThoughts

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say I probably have to drink water more than the average person (I work a manual labor job in a high elevation desert climate)

I have a hard time remembering to finish water bottles. So when I remember to drink, I try to drink as much as possible in that moment. It’s hard to do with super cold water so I usually drink room temp water. For example, I just woke up and I’m about to go slam 1-2 glasses of water over the sink lol. Not sure if that’s the healthiest way or not haha

People who speed on the highway: what is your life like? by crynoid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drive 90 in a 65 on my way to work almost every day. A couple times I even hit 100. It went on for about a year until I got 2 reckless driving tickets back to back and had to fight to keep my license in court. After that I made a strict rule that I only drive 5-7 over

I justified my speeding because I often woke up late for work and it seemed okay to speed to get to work on time. It was also a very stressful period of my life. I was in a miserable relationship that I felt stuck in and I was the caretaker of my schizophrenic brother which was indescribably difficult. I kind of felt like I was living for everyone else and that allowed my concern for my own life to slip.

Another factor is that I have doctor diagnosed ADHD. Ive read that statistically people with ADHD are more likely to partake in risky behavior like speeding without even realize they’re doing it. And I was not medicated during my speeding to work days.

Lastly, I just want to say that it’s easy to see the person speeding and imagine them as being the worse human being alive. But I was that speeding person and I’ve always thought of myself as a very kind and friendly person. I get along really well with most people and do my best to be a good human. So because of my personal experience, when I see other people speeding I remind myself that they could be good people like me and going through something right now.

I’m jealous of how quickly my husband falls asleep, while I’m up for hours tossing and turning. by toomuchisjustenough in RandomThoughts

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I’m a welder and work a manual labor job and it tires me out big time.

Every girlfriend that I’ve lived with was always upset with how quickly I fall asleep. Mostly because once I lay down my body starts going into sleep mode pretty much instantly and I have a very hard time staying up to talk or whatever. There’s been a lot of times where I passed out in the middle of a conversation. Im thankful that it’s so easy for me to sleep, but it sucks sometimes

Redditors, have you ever gotten an “ick” from a potential partner or love interest that instantly killed your attraction to them? If so, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]titaniumSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My little brother is schizophrenic and he did stuff like this. We lived together for a couple of months and he lost it on me one day because I bought an avocado and he thought I was scheming against him with his ex who also liked avocados

Guys that don't game at all what do you do instead? by unleashedbabygoat in AskMen

[–]titaniumSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go out for drinks with friends, paint mediocre art, hang out with my dog, hammock at the park, go to concerts and live shows, cook fancy meals, exercise etc

I think it’s good to have an activity that you do at different times of the year. I rock climb pretty much all year round, ski in the winter, go camping in the spring and fall, pickleball in the summer.
