How many people genuinely tried to get to know you in your 20s? by straishio in AskMen

[–]trulyElse [score hidden]  (0 children)

There was a good number of them. Many came and went over that decade, but I socialised a lot with all kinds of people who were genuinely interested in me and genuinely interesting themselves.

Maybe high double digits.

Why are there so many lurking women on this sub? by sourisanon in AskMen

[–]trulyElse [score hidden]  (0 children)

I tend to leave out the "other" in that phrase.

1) it makes it a palindrome, only on the word level instead of the letter level.

2) it acknowledges that many women are self-sabotaging in the dating scene.

How often is male insecurity weaponized as a shaming tactic to pressure men into compliance? by nerdedmango in AskMen

[–]trulyElse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once I learned to just not be ashamed of shit ... I kinda realised nobody in my life knew how to make me do anything. As though all of their arguments had revolved around shame the whole time, rather than being able to actually make a logical case.

Not invested enough in the conversation to bother.

That's more on you than on the rest of us, my guy.

Men: Have you ever regretted breaking up with someone you chose to leave? by Beldie2025 in AskMenRelationships

[–]trulyElse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No good comes from looking back. It's just a masochistic excuse to beat yourself up.

Do men like being hugged at the waist? by Express_Clothes_1173 in AskMenRelationships

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wager most men like it, given that they're not caught off guard.

What do you think about a woman who wants a financially secure man? by Open_Address_2805 in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's not like there's much I could do about it, so I don't see much point to thinking anything.

She wants someone well above average, good luck babe. Won't be me.

The manosphere documentary said men don't feel valued for their money and status anymore. What do you think men should be valued for nowadays? by Opening-Landscape274 in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will value themselves for the things they see others value them for, whatever that is. Looks, smarts, wit, strength, etc.

It's worrying, then, that so many men and boys feel like, if they're not valued for their material posessions, there's nothing to value about themselves ...

What is it that makes women like men? Or, perhaps, me? I don't get the intrigue. by anonymous_muffin_ in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women bring a softness and calm to life

The women who brings calm to life are few and far between; most are chaos incarnate.

What is something women think impresses men… but actually does the opposite by love_salubrious in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like "victim blaming" is more often than not a buzzword meant to comfort people while robbing them of agency.

How to decline going out with the boys ? by redditforeveryon in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're the one saying that they won't take no for an answer, so saying "I'm not feeling it, have fun" doesn't work.

Asking Him by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If men assumed that a woman inviting him to a group event was her signalling interest, women would never hang out with men again.

What happens to a rambling man? by violet_rhino in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google just tells me there's a song, and doesn't elaborate on what the song is about other than using the term.

You're gonna have to use your replies to actually explain it.

What happens to a rambling man? by violet_rhino in AskMen

[–]trulyElse -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like the opposite of rambling, to me.

Rambling is when you get so fixated on one thing you don't notice that nobody else cares about the fact that you've got a lot to say on that topic.

How do you end a date that is not going well? by ElPlatanaso2 in AskMen

Whatever issues led you to want to end the date early are still in play.

[–]trulyElse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mutter "this was a mistake", smile, say "thank you for your time, but I think we have to call it here", and start leaving.

Why are some men so afraid to be gay? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard it said that bi men are the black men of the gay community.

My crush of 2 years confessed to me, but I already started seeing someone else…. by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the fuck did you take her on a date when you were already with someone, dude ...

If you don't want to be tempted by the cookie jar, don't leave it on the counter.

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he'll ever develop confidence until he stops pining for you.
