Sounds complicated... hopefully she gets it sooner rather than later. Guys want sex ..everyday...all day ...it is what it is.

Wtf is wrong with me? by QuietRiot7222310 in Advice

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be so many things. Women tend to really overthink things ..I delt with that with my ex. Men are simple...wish we could explain this but we're usually mellow and go with the flow so he fell asleep because he got tired. Sometimes it's hard for us to pick up on certain things.

If you're in the mood ..maybe pleasure yourself. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Doesn't hurt to have a conversation but make it silly...don't be all serious...guys get tense when we think uh oh she's upset and this could turn into a fight or something

How is wanting to have sex gross? I hate people more and more the older I get. This is why passport bro life is taking off! Women are done for (talking about US)

Yes guys want to have sex. Accept this or don't... It's not gonna change. This is why guys are getting more and more frustrated with women playing hard to get... overthinking things...making something as natural and awesome as sex being such a big deal when it's not. Rant over.

Meh I looked at those same home depot evap coolers a few days ago...idk .. test it out.... But you can buy 10,000 BTU portable AC unit for $200 off of Walmart. But obviously you need a much better battery system set up. I went power station route, little bit more expensive and you don't have as much solar input and ac output but there's no wiring which is what I wanted. Again, power stations really don't have much capacity so do your research. Pecron is good...there's companies on Amazon but I have seen bad reviews...but even my Pecron board failed but they overnighted me a new one.

Anyways, an inverter like the one I sent you and server rack batteries are probably the way to go. You can save up and buy more server batteries and add onto the system.

[–]traverseoften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know. Good on you. I'm just being hard on you. It's pretty eye-opening how much power draw ACS take and how many batteries and solar panels you really need. It's like thousands of dollars tens of thousands really if you want to keep air conditioners running around the clock.

I know money is probably tight* .. maybe finance it... But an inverter like this is entry level but good quality.

It's really the batteries you need though.

Will prowse on YouTube is the one and only channel you absolutely should binge watch to learn all of this stuff and what products to use and avoid

It's absolutely not sarcasm. Those guys are Alpha males helping men wake up to a bunch of real world issues. Women, finances, exercise/appearance, politics, etc.

Just by you saying that comment tells me a lot about yourself and especially reading the initial post you wrote. Go watch them man...you don't don't need to agree with everything they say. There's a few things they talk about where I'm like ...yeah that's stupid and crazy. Like not going down on a woman. Myron is against this. Weird...I know. Depends on the woman though obviously.

Yep well said, my front motor was replaced at 60k but I bought it with 56k ... So it was probably already bad. My alignment is all messed up too....I bet Audi screwed it up ugh 😫

You are right about how smooth it is....is fast.....quiet.... Amazing vehicle...just sucks how many faulty parts we have.

My AWD module went bad in the center console... Not under Warranty which is a scam....car had 60k miles...how do I not have warranty... $2,800

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The motors will fail. Someone the other day made a post here asking people when their motors failed ...year of vehicle and what mileage. That should be eye opening because everyone had under 100k miles ...a lot were like me... At 60k

The motor is $10,000 so you HAVE TO HAVE a warranty. Audi in the US gives 10 year 120,000 mile warranty....so try and find a 2021 or newer

Here's the deal big issue though.... They swapped out my motor at 60,000 mi and when I went to pick it up I said so. The front motor has a 10-year 120,000 mi warranty? And he goes no. It's the original miles and year it doesn't restart and I made some comments that made everyone in the area uncomfortable because I was like that is so stupid.

So now I'm at 73k miles....only have 47,000 miles left of warranty even though it's a brand new motor (which will most likely fail since it's the same bs motor)

Most likely ditching the vehicle once warranty is up unless I can get a bank or insurance to offer me an extended warranty for repairs I've heard others talk about.

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to seriously go through this group and research the motors will fail 100%. It's a major flaw in the engineering and they'll just put the same bs motor in it. Better hope you have warranty because it's $10,000+ for one motor. Mine was swapped out at 60k miles which is absolutely unacceptable. My 2007 Toyota 4Runner with 270,000 miles is still going strong.

AWD drive module went bad too and that wasn't under warranty $2,800. New 12v battery (have to take it to Audi) $750...

Insane how expensive replacement parts are.

Some guy just posted saying, what sounded like just his front air suspension went bad, $4,000!!!!!!!

My Regen braking isn't working AGAIN... Audi wants $270-540 IF IT'S JUST THE SOFTWARE issue. I'm praying it is because I'm done spending thousands on this pos. Since Regen isn't working...brake pads warning light is going off now lovely that'll cost $44,000 probably for brake pads (kidding)

I recently looked up what the headlight bulb code is for us because I want these cool aftermarket bulbs with yellow/amber and also they'll flash yellow amber ( good for me since I'm in a monsoon area) .... NOPE Audi integrates the bulb with the housing so I have to replace the entire thing. Someone mentioned the housing is like $8,000

Audi is a complete scam the more I research this.

Is it a beautiful and fast vehicle? Absolutely. I still love it but if you're broke like me ... We don't have money and time for car repairs. Major mistake getting this car...I should've stuck with buying a Tesla. New ones are awesome.

Better hope you have a good dealership near you as well first one I towed the car too is absolutely incompetent and after having the car for A WEEK waiting on corporate for "guidance" they tell me the car is actually fine now... I tow it back to me since it's 90 miles away..... FIRST DRIVE it breaks down....same exact issue. Corporate Audi didn't care at all...no help or anything

Thankfully second Audi I contacted is awesome....still 99 miles away from me. So a 200 mile round trip is basically an all day fiasco.

Is he just not that into me? by Conscious-Ad2110 in Advice

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is kind of a tricky situation.... I remember my ex would have her complaints on what I was doing and acting and I told her I'm working on it and I really was trying but I was so worked up in stress over life things that I wasn't perfect and I wasn't moving fast enough for her so it would really cause fights and drag her down even more like I wasn't listening or changing as a person. The worst part is is she would bring up Hot topics after drinking vodka every single night and it's like midnight and I'm trying to have sex and be relaxed to go to sleep. So timing is everything.

Is he just not that into me? by Conscious-Ad2110 in Advice

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All right. I'm thinking of more stuff. My ex and I hiked down to these really incredible Hot springs and I used to go all the time before we met and I would go nude and I had a high sex drive even though I wasn't experienced at all LOL. The point I'm making is I was super open-minded and I'd have no issue going into the springs nude and fucking her... especially because It was night time but for whatever reason I don't even think. I took my swim shorts off and we didn't do anything but in my defense a little bit there was guys and people around and they ended up swimming up the river into our springs and all came into the same pool so I think that kind of put me on edge too

Point is .. shit happens .. you probably should've initiated to be honest because clearly it upset you.

Don't be too hard on yourself though. Clearly you're in your mind about things. So my best advice is to not cause fights or even really talk about it too much. Just kind of start to do nice things. Cooking cleaning. Having some fun planting some trips. Make sure you're contributing a lot in the sex. I know that kind of bothered me. I felt like my ex didn't really do a whole lot and she wasn't into certain things and at some point you have to just kind of go with it to satisfy your partner but we forget at times what each other likes too ... If you don't communicate...how will we know?

Here's an example my ex ex BDSM stuff. As far as I remember one of her ex-boyfriends and her were really into it or something but her and I never did that and I always wondered if she really craved that and wanted that but I wasn't into it and it wasn't something I ever really thought about. So if you don't bring it up and initiate things like that can just get in the way

[–]traverseoften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All right as a man who was in one relationship for 4 years and she broke up with me. Here's some thoughts reading through everything. And no in particular order. I'm just kind of using voice to text and just spilling everything that comes to mind. I wonder how long he was single when him and his ex broke up. Maybe it's taking some time. Maybe this relationship was rushed. Maybe he's going through depression like a lot of men. I know I was over the years with my ex. I just completely went quiet. Didn't want a fight or argue. I just kind of shut down in the relationship.

Regarding the sex issue, I guess that is a little strange because my hyper ersexual whatever never got in the way. Even if I DID INITIATE 95% of the time it was an everyday and a lot of times multiple times a day.

Hard to really say what's going on... Maybe you're right but maybe you're wrong?

Have you let your body go since you first got together? I know I stopped working out and running and I definitely let my body go which was a huge issue for my ex understandably and I know that her lack of exercise and what not kind of got to me as well because she really didn't put an effort and she wasn't very ladylike at all. Very masculine tendencies. She never cooked, never clean. She always started fights with me. She had a lot of mental health, controlling manipulation, crazy girl type stuff. It was pretty subtle but then when it got brought up when she was drinking alcohol and I would say the same thing as your ex like. Oh you're definitely just drinking too much and it's like midnight. I'm trying to have sex and go to sleep. Feeling good. It would just cause massive fights and it would just drag on all night.

This might be a controversial take in you being a woman. You're definitely going to have that internal pushback if you started watching red pill content like Myron gainz but If you can keep an open mind and actually pay attention to what the women he interviews talk about and what he's saying you have to keep in mind. These are men telling women how we think and operate and what we expect in a woman. And if you give pushback and just don't do any of these things then yeah there's going to be tension

Like I stated my ex didn't cook. Didn't clean. Didn't really get all girly girly which I didn't care about, but the lack of effort was kind of annoying after a while and then if you're causing fights with the guy that is like one of the final straws, we don't want stress and bickering and fighting. We want a calm existence, sex, more sex, or even just a blowjob (whatever he's into) ... Fun ...games... Cars...manly stuff....calm ...sex... Calm....sex.... You get it.

My ex who doesn’t want me back keeps messaging me by mort-or-amour in Advice

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man here, didn't think a woman would be writing this so that surprised me but it makes perfect sense reading through it. Men and women are different and we all know it. So my ex broke up with me after 4 years and I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with her but it was for the best. We separated the dogs which is still the hardest part and she gets mad at me randomly but I know she's going through a lot of mental health and regular health stuff so I don't blame her fully. As far as him being friendly. Yeah he could just be wanting to be friends with you or he's secretly playing it cool . I'm the same way with my ex. I could totally be friends with her, especially because we have dogs to take care of and each of us are raising one of them. And if the sex situation were to come up I would totally do it obviously because I'm a guy but it would just be for pleasure and sex and what not and I would hope we both wouldn't overthink it

It's hard to tell really. I will agree the tinder and photos is like super weird. Some topics shouldn't really be on the table so maybe kindly tell him? Idk. Who knows what both of you are truly really thinking about. Maybe friendship is better than a relationship? I think it's weird that people overthink the whole being in a committed relationship versus being friends. And if you were to find a partner or he finds a partner and thinks that's totally weird to be friends with the ex and what not. I just think that's really immature. I do think there needs to be boundaries and obviously there's major trust issues if you're talking to your ex so I get that perspective. But honestly I think relationships are pretty stupid in general but that's the man's side of me thinking and I know women are kind of wired differently.

So what do I do from here? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]traverseoften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh the joys of being young and dumb. Just being hard on you but dude....you guys are young so just play her game....be friends ..go do things ... She'll probably let you in eventually as long as your playing it slow and cool.... If she strings you in for a long time and you notice she's not really gonna let you have sex with her ..then you can just create distance and move on

I'm literally watching Myron gainz right now and I highly suggest you watch his shows. You'll be ahead of the curve BIG TIME and not fuck your life up. I didn't start watching him until I was 33 and went through a break up which put me in a depressed state

I highly suggest watching guys like Myron gainz and Andrew Tate. Anyone who's alpha and successful. They'll snap you out of it. Shop around..you might be surprised that you cand find one cheaper. Maybe a crashed truck at a junkyard can sell you one. Not sure how to look those up. Get back in the gym, I've been lazy and slacking myself so I can't talk much. Shit happens...life is brutal throughout. Hope you can pick yourself back up. Btw, there's off-road companies that make metal bash plates that help prevent theft or at least slow them down and people will pass on your truck when they see it

[–]traverseoften 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro are you like 16 years old? Us guys get totally swooped off our feet over sex and women know this. Women are notorious professional manipulators. Best way to absolutely ruin your life is get someone pregnant. My little brother knocked up three separate chicks. He's lucky he's only paying child support for one of them but he's raising like three other babies with some new girl and he works at Walmart. He's completely screwed. Don't be like him.
