I wanted to buy my (f23) boyfriend (m24) underwear and he said I shouldn’t because his mom still buys his underwear. I mean, I stopped going to buy underwear with my parents once my body developed and I had my first boyfriend, and wanted sexier underwear. So around 16.
Obviously men and women are different, I just found it a bit weird
Men if you were seeing a woman for less than 3 months and you asked her to be exclusive and she didn’t know but later said yes. Would that change your outlook?
Hey everyone. Kinda deep question for you all. I’m living in the US, late 20’s, blue collar career. I personally have a problem with drinking as a way to shut off and calm down my brain.
I was just reading a thread about a highly specialized industry asking about how many of them had a problem with drinking. Which led me to thinking, I’m a standard average joe, show up to work every day, pay the bills kind of guy. But I still might actually have a problem. How many others are in the same shoes? Is this a mostly blue collar issue or trend?
I’m not pointing fingers, just curious to hear perspectives. Is this a much more pervasive problem than I once thought?
I'm 27 M ,I will be graduating this year, but I might not get the job am looking for but am humble enough to work anywhere, I know am not strong enough, I have tried blue collar jobs and I was just embarrassing myself, thankfully some guys were kind enough to help me out , and I have tried delivery, it was good but a little exhausting, I have tried sells, the most humbling job in the entire world, getting customers was not easy ,but thankfully most of the customers I get were kind enough to help me out. so now I would be graduating with accounting but I will not get my degree until I finish the "exit exam " so in that time am thinking of becoming a waiter ,but to get that job I have to have good connections, and my mom is saying I shouldn't do that because everything I need is provided at home so I should wait until I get my degree but I feel ashamed sometimes whenever I asked my mom for money , and I felt unworthy and burden ,like I have no dignity so I want to do whatever job I get and hopefully I'm good at it, so what do you suggest other than being waiter ?
I wanted to get this take from a few different men! I’m currently 28, in a great relationship, actively in therapy, and have a great paying job. With all that being said, one of my largest vices is weed. I’ve smoked for the last 6 year straight. At this point, I don’t even smoke to get high anymore, it’s more so out of habit. It’s also becoming damn near an additional bill. Anyone here have some good advice or experience on dealing with that inability to stop? Or even just how to change the way it’s framed in your life? It’s one of the only vices I’ve had that has been the hardest to get away from and while I don’t demonize it, I do feel myself getting actively dumber as the days go by.
There’s a serious lack of accountability in some of these dating discussion groups.
People are being posted, dissected, and judged—sometimes without even having met the person—based entirely on speculation or one-sided claims.
That kind of environment makes it incredibly easy for misinformation to spread, and once it does, there’s basically no way to undo the damage.
Whatever the original purpose was, it’s clearly being pushed beyond that in many cases.
When reputations, careers, and mental health are on the line, there has to be a higher standard than “someone said something in a group.”
I’ve started digging deeper into this and putting together something to address it, because the current situation feels completely unchecked.
Curious how others see it—are these groups still serving their purpose, or has it crossed into something else?
and why was it so hard? its been 3 years and i still think about her alot. I've tried everything but still think about wanting her back occasionally.
I have had a fear of heights since I was a kid, and I also skied a lot growing up, so one of my greatest fears has always been Chairlifts. Especially the old ones without the foot rests or when they go extra high. I once got stuck on one for 30 minutes at the highest part of the lift, Just thinking about it as I type gives me a light headed feeling.
When I work out at the gym, I don’t like the feel of a wedding band. But, I usually see married people either still have their wedding or silicone bands on while working out. What are the reasons for that? I’m so afraid of degloving or injury.
Assume you’ve lived a full life and reached a point where you no longer feel the need to prove anything to others or yourself. Looking back, what is the one book that would still remain on your shelf, not out of habit, but because it genuinely mattered?
I’m 19, and I saw a quote that hit me hard: lf you only learn from your own mistakes, it’ll take a lifetime. Learn from those who came before you. So I want to hear it raw—no sugarcoating.
I don’t want generic “work hard, stay positive” advice. I want the brutal truths, the regrets, the lessons you’d drill into someone my age if you could go back.
I think i’m just going to accept that I will always be perceived a certain way for how i present myself. being a gender nonconformist and having both masculine and feminine traits has made it that I give off a “queer vibe” to others. even if i don’t dress or act flamboyant i still get judged for being even slightly fem. it’s not even on purpose i have a natural “feminine“ look since forever and gradually just accepted i wont look stereotypically masculine.
Then I get hit on by gay guys and in a way i feel a bit flattered because some of them are really sweet and genuine so i cant even really be mad about it. but then it gets to a point where its like…really? people just assume your sexuality based on how you look. After politely telling a guy i don’t swing that way and have a girlfriend the dude really said he was surprised i wasn’t gay. like the thought of a guy not being the poster boy for playgirl magazine is suddenly gay/bi.
Idk why but it gives me a bit of an ick. Like I’m being fetishized or that they only like me for my height.
Dads of reddit, how did you feel when you held your own bab for the first timey? I feel like it isn't talked about enough. Joy? Fear? Immense urge to protect? Maybe nothing. No judgement zone 🫶
which literally made you crawl under your own skin
