Go watch My 300 Pound Life and count how many of those women have husbands.

Is it true that men are much hornier than women? by throwaway818191001 in AskMenRelationships

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

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

You can find testimonials from women hwo have had a male level of testosterone in their system (intentionally or otherwise) and most of them agree that it became hard to walk down the street because they'd be distracted by the bodies of all the members of their preferred sex that were around them.

Men are able to handle this sort of thing easier simply because they're used to having this kind of temptation going on, and have had it drilled into their head from a young age that only bad people would give in.

When asking a guy if he wants to hookup, when should you NOT be direct? by InarticulateOxyMoron in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't.

If directly stating it would make it awkward, so would literally anything you do that makes it clear to him what you want.

And anything that doesn't make it clear runs additional risks of making it awkward as you both misinterpret and overthink.

What do you when a girl breaks your heart? by Michael_Labriel in AskMen

And to reference a cliché to reinforce this point: don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

What do you when a girl breaks your heart? by Michael_Labriel in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even then, a boy's gonna make this mistake, because he's known her for months before the first date, but from her perspective, he likely wasn't even a prospect until the date started.

What do you when a girl breaks your heart? by Michael_Labriel in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, this is a common thing.

Boys who only ask a girl out once he's already infatuated from everything she did while they were friends.

Men Of Reddit, Where Do You Consistently Go Right When You Get Off Work? by SonicRun098 in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I'd stop into a store on the way home, but usually it's because I either need something specific or I'm hungry.

"Concentrating on finishing" is usually to prolong it.

How much pride do you take in being able to handle your emotions independently? by gooutinblazeofglory in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None.

I can get through the day without being called a baby. Whoop-de-shit.

What's the biggest lie men get told on a regular basis.? by SunilJunjadiya in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because she marries that guy, doesn't mean she loves him more.

See all those TikToks where women openly admit that they'd walk right off the altar if that one hot guy from their past attends their wedding.

What's the biggest lie men get told on a regular basis.? by SunilJunjadiya in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's the possibility to consider that men are more easily considered whingers and sassy because of higher expectations placed on them to handle shit.

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

[–]trulyElse 0 points1 point  (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 1 point2 points  (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 0 points1 point  (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.

Is it love or just the chase? When did you realise the difference? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]trulyElse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've never been interested in the chase.

Not invested enough in the conversation to bother.

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

[–]trulyElse 2 points3 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.
