My wife holds her phone close at all times.

0 Upvotes

I’m 64m and my wife is 64f. We have been married 39 years. All of a sudden she has her phone stuck to her hand from 4-10 pm. If it’s on show she throws a cloth over it if I’m near and then picks them both up. She’s always on WhatsApp. I can see the green screen in the reflection of her glasses.
Should I be worried?

How can men tell that a woman doesn’t have a active father or hasn’t been treated well by men?

30 Upvotes

I had a convo with a guy and he basically said that regardless of what you tell a man, he will be able to tell based on your body language and how you act. As someone who actually does have father issues (physically there, but not emotionally) I’m curious to know what guys might be able to sense about me so I can not make it so obvious haha (and not get hurt by men taking advantage of this fact).Therapy loading…

I’m 5’7. Since that’s the first thing any woman will see, and they all seem to have really strong opinions about that sort of thing, is it even worth putting in the effort if it’s destined to go nowhere? For the record, I hope I’m wrong and just being a dumbass, which is why I’m asking.

Would you have a serious romantic relationship with a bisexual girl with the end goal being marriage and kids?

EDIT: You dudes saying you like it are using being a cuck as the reason. So slimy lmao. Some of y’all greyheads too, y’all been around too long to be acting like this 😭 Give a normal response.

Respectfully, this is aimed at the employed dudes who want to wife up a woman and have kids 😭😂😂💀

It was a female who pretty much got me into the kinks im into. Not a single gf have turned down any of my more wacky ideas, in fact thier eyes light up in anticipation.

While Im sure men have higher sex drives I just dont ever see this "creativity" from us (this obviously excludes gay men). I'm taken aback how vanilla some of my friends sex stories are, I literally just keep mine to myself.

Why won’t he marry me

628 Upvotes

24(f) and partner 29(m). Two kids, house, good relationship, we don’t argue often, we don’t do 50/50 he earns more than me and it all just goes in one pot, he’s a great dad and I have zero complaints in our relationship. The one issue we’re having is he won’t marry me, he says he will one day, but no signs of a proposal and we’ve been together five years. Everything else is perfect. So I just don’t understand. What am I missing? I don’t want a big fancy wedding, just something small and meaningful with our family and close friends.

Edit - I keep getting comments on the 50/50. I’m part time and this was both of our decision so I’m home more with the kids. I would earn more than him full time but we both decided this wasn’t the best for our family.

i’m in my late 20s and he’s in his late 40s/early 50s. his kids are like five to eight years younger than me but i’m interested in him. we met through a community activity and sometimes when i try to flirt with him he doesn’t necessarily flirt back so i don’t know. would he be interested in someone younger like that or is this all futile? how do i approach him in that way?

Do all men make it a mission to earn more than their wives or is it just mine?

0 Upvotes

My husband and I dated at 14, engaged at 20, married at 22. We are now 30 years old and both work in business. I'm in finance and he is in accounting.

We both graduated college back in 2019. I noticed everytime I begin to earn more than him, he either looks for a new job or does something to increase his earning potential. I recently got a promotion at my work that came with a $18k pay bump. This made me pass him up. He's now locked himself away in his office everyday after work studying for the CPA exam. He's probably putting in 3 hours of study a night.

Last night, I asked him about why the sudden urge to get his CPA. He gave me a typical answer. "It would just be nice to have." But he ALWAYS makes a big move after each one of my raises. So I questioned him on it, and he brushed it off.

Since we were engaged, our earnings all go into one pot. We have never suggested it's someone's turn to pay for something. We definitely prefer it this way. So it's nothing to do with this.

Other than this, he is a 10/10 every way in our relationship. I'm just baffled, I guess. Sometimes I wonder if I could push him to CEO or the presidency or something.

Patriarchy Hoax Opinion

0 Upvotes

So I have been reading that women were traditionally been opressed by men. Although to some context it is true. Whenever I think about it becomes hazy and I can't digest it. Like my ancestors and many more worked so hard all their lives so that we in present can have a better future, just to be called oppressors in modern times. Also for marraiges were women weren't treated fairly there were also men who got women like that. So it's basically comes down to like there are good people and bad people. Also now I see many countries that have baised laws have their birth rates below 2.1 . Breaking the family unit apart is the best way to break us apart in future. I guess many of us had a decent family to teach us things from both perspectives. I can't speak on this way more although I guess it would be mundane. I don't mean to come out as offensive to anyone just my thoughts and want to know about it from different perspectives.

Edit 1 :- Thank you everyone for sharing your perspective I'll try to look into each one. Also again a heartful thank you for letting me now the insights. Try to keep a unbiased view. Wish you a great time ahead.

A Question About Race Preferences and Dating

9 Upvotes

How much does race play a role in your dating preferences? I’m open to dating all races but there are two races that I find myself more attracted to. When I date outside of those races, I don’t feel as fulfilled in the relationship and they inevitably end. Does anyone else experience this? Are there any of you that have dated out of your race preference and are still in a successful relationship?

I ask because I’m a 48 y/o m and as I get older, I feel like this is such a shallow thing to experience. I’ve never heard anyone say they’ve experienced this so I thought I’d bring it here.

She was so hot I felt unworthy and couldn't get it up. How do I recover?

0 Upvotes

This has never happened before. I've (40M) always dated women who were on my level or who I honestly felt a little superior to. I've always had great sex. This week an absolutely gorgeous woman (F25) took an interest in me. I have no idea why and it was messing with me hard. I was nervous and couldn't escalate but she was so into me she did all the work,

After a few dates she dragged me into her bedroom at the end of the night and hopped on top of me. She was dripping wet and wanted me but I couldn't fuck. All I could do was worship her. Since I couldn't get hard I went down on her and she seemed to have a good time. But I could tell from the goodnight kiss that she wasn't feeling it for me any more and I don't blame her.

This morning I got the "lets be friends" text.

I had the hottest woman I've ever touched begging for me and botched it. I've never felt so weak. How the hell do I recover?

I would love some honest opinions. Is an attractive, educated, confident woman who has their life together( financially and socially) intimidating to men? I’ve had about 3 different girlfriends mention that i will probably be intimidating to a lot of men and will therefore have a smaller dating pool( 48yrs old, 6 months seperated).

Should I feel guilty and what should I do ?

13 Upvotes

have great office friend, we hang out a lot, joke alot and everything and kinda like her. Both of us went out for drinks last night, had a couple of them at a bar and then came to my place to have a few more. We were talking normally then she started feeling uneasy, she got up, puked a bit and then came out of the washroom and basically was about to fall, the alcohol had hit her quite bad. I was a bit tipsy but mostly in my senses. got her to bed and made her sleep. She slept for an hour while sat there holding her hand. Then she woke up from calls from her family and said that she has to leave, but she was in no state of leaving as she couldn't even sit straight or open her eyes, so told her sit for a bit, get normal then drop you. was sitting there holding her, and by this time was also quite tipsy, but didn't loose my senses.

As we were sitting, our mouths were very close and we kissed, maybe i would have taken the initiative. Then we made out fora bit, and then we got up and dropped her. We were talking the whole time but it was mostly her saying thank you for taking her care. I dropped her home and felt whatever happened, both were into it. But now when she's sober and normalI was talking to her and she's saying she doesn't even remember one detail about the night post puking. Nothing at all, what happened, what we talked about, when I dropped her home, nothing.

Now feel guilty as hell, am feeling I took advantage of someone who was not in their senses, it's killing me, am feeling like a rapist tbh. Just wanted to know that am i right in feeling so or not.

Please give brutally honest responses.

r/AskMenAdvice 23h ago

Help! What do I (21F) say to my bf (22M) to broach the fact that I think he might have low T? I think it’s killing our sex life.

0 Upvotes

(Edited for clarity)So pretty much, it’s exactly like I said. My boyfriend and I met in college pretty early on, and we immediately bonded. I’ve always been attracted to more feminine guys, so he’s definitely on the feminine side. That honestly doesn’t bother me; in fact, I quite like it since I’m bisexual. He’s so funny, smart, and amazing, and I love every part of our relationship—except the sex.

I’m 21 and in a relationship, so I expect to be having regular sex. Not to seem superficial, but at times we go an entire month or more without sex, and it’s hellish. It’s not because we don’t try—he’s just always soft. When he gets hard, he loses it quickly. If I stop for even a moment, like to grab a drink of water from the nightstand, he goes soft. If he misses the hole while trying to put it in, he goes soft. Literally, if the wind blows and the stars aren’t perfectly aligned, he goes soft.

Now, I am an extremely patient person, and I’m hesitant to bring up my worries because I don’t want my man to feel inadequate. I really love him, and we’ve grown a lot together over the past few years. But I’m reaching my breaking point. Three years without actual sex because your boyfriend can’t get hard is crazy.

Mind you, he’s an athlete. He eats healthy and focuses a lot on overall health. It’s not a diet or exercise issue—his entire life is about staying fit and helping others become physically healthy. This is why I’m so perplexed. A perfectly healthy, fit, young man having these issues doesn’t make sense.

For the first six months, I chalked it up to nerves. When we met, he was a virgin, so I had no problem teaching him and taking things slow. But even from the beginning, there were alarming signs I brushed off. The first time I gave him head, he didn’t even get hard. I asked if he was hard, and he said he was, which scared me because I thought it was micro. But even then, I decided that wasn’t necessarily a dealbreaker if we could learn to work with it (that’s how much I liked his personality, and because sex isn’t my biggest priority).

Later, I saw him fully hard and realized it’s not micro; it’s average. He just seems to have severe difficulty maintaining an erection. I’ve been thinking for a while that he might have ED, but I don’t know how to bring it up. Honestly, it’s humiliating for me as his girlfriend to feel like I have to force my man to have sex with me. And just when I think we finally will, he gets soft.

What’s even worse is when he’s a few strokes deep, and I feel him getting soft inside me. It’s soul-crushing. It makes me feel inadequate, unattractive, rejected, and sexually frustrated. Almost every time we’ve attempted sex, I’ve cried in the bathroom afterward because I get so emotionally and sexually frustrated. I know it’s not a looks problem because I keep myself looking nice.

I’ve talked to him about this, and he said he’d try. But I don’t want to feel like I’m forcing him to have sex when he has no sex drive. Anytime the conversation comes up about me wanting more sex, he shuts down and clams up. I understand it’s difficult, but I’ve been patient for three years, and I don’t want to keep pushing this back. I just want my man to desire me.

He says he does, but he’s just not horny for vaginal sex much. He doesn’t even masturbate often, and when he is horny, he still struggles to get hard. I’ve tried to talk to him about us working through this, but he always shuts down. At this point, I’m seriously worried it might be a medical issue.

The last time I mentioned it, he said part of the problem is that he gets anxiety about being unable to please me. That anxiety creates a feedback loop—he gets soft because of the pressure, and then I’m not pleased, which reinforces the anxiety. I think anxiety is a part of it, and we’ve gotten him a therapist for that.

However, he’s shown so many signs of low testosterone that I can’t ignore it. I suspect his anxiety stems from his difficulty staying erect, which could be related to testosterone. His nonexistent sex drive, constant moodiness, exhaustion, and trouble building muscle all match the symptoms of low testosterone.

He’s often randomly depressed, moody, and tired, even on days he hasn’t done anything. While he focuses on athletics to compensate, he always feels like he’s not looking good enough. For me, he’s the most attractive man I’ve ever met, but I understand his insecurities.

I want to work through this with him and possibly pursue a long-term relationship after graduation. But if we can’t fix the erection problem, it’s a dealbreaker. I can’t spend my youth (or worse, my life) in a sexless relationship, never getting my needs met.

To be clear, I use toys and even occasionally involve him, but it’s not the same as true intimacy with my partner. I want him to want me organically—not as a chore. I know he’s attracted to me, but his body just doesn’t respond.

It’s causing resentment, and that makes me feel horrible because I truly love him. My sex drive keeps increasing while his seems to decline, and I can’t keep doing this. I worry he’ll feel judged, which is the last thing I want. I just need help figuring out how to deal with this in the most tactful and peaceful way.

What the ACTUAL FUCK are these comments?!

Upvotes

I will be referring to this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMenAdvice/s/QsEuG373J4

I'm a man, and 2/3 of the comments are not only stupid, but also perpetrate double standards in relation to grooming and sexual harassment, on top of the image of "men are all horny donkeys that would do anything for some pussy".

In the post, an EIGHTEEN years old man asked how to handle the TWENTY NINE years old DAUGHTER OF HIS BOSS that SEXUALLY HARASSED him, that he did NOT want.

She could ruin his career, have him lose his job and give him a much harder time finding a new one, heck even force herself on him or report HIM for sexual harassment to hr.

This subreddit is supposed to be a place to ask men for ADVICE. Yet 2/3 of the comments were just "sleep with her".

Those are the comments I'd expect in an incel subreddit, or on Instagram (INSTAGRAM COMMENTS!! that is not something we want to be compared to).

That is no advice. That is disregarding the whole post and his problems because "PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY * ape sounds * ".

Please do better, there is a reason there is the bad stereotype of "all that men want is sex" and this is perpetrating it.

My advice here: think with something else than your dicks, work on how you see both women and men, and how you relate to stereotypes.

By a 20 years old man that should not lecture the people here in the first place.
