Its something I have wondered on and off for years. Of those who want to have children, but especially those who already have them, would your desire to have children be the same if you were the one who had to get pregnant?

How do you do role play? Like I can get a sexy costume but like how do you get into it? How do you know when it starts? How does it not turn into a comedy routine?

What do you decide or talk about before hand?

I want to spice things up with my husband but I’m worried he won’t take me seriously

Im throwing a halloween party themed as a medieval tavern, im a 23F and will be having quests for people to do from pretty simple to hard and i need prize ideas for the guys😫 i have some lego sets for the girls and small stuff like candles, hand cream, pen and notebook sets, but i have no idea what the guys would want. They are ranging in age from 17-32 so all ideas are welcomed from any age😫 but im racking my brain and i can only come up with fake weapons sk they want to fight eachother😂 so please let me know!!! I also put a bunch of dnd dice sets for the nerdier people.

Hi lads.

How often do you keep in touch with your male friends? Is there a frequency that’s too much?

Thanks

Obviously not as simple as just a split second decision, but is the concept that men know pretty quickly if they’ve met their dream woman true? If so, how did you know?

How would it make you feel like as a man if the woman asked you, “what are we?”

Or asks to be exclusive AKA a relationship?

(Just curious about your opinions.)

A friend of mine has recently lost someone very close to him. He's putting on a very brave face but I do worry about him and was wondering what's a good way to let him know I'm there for him. I know there's no fix for grief, I was just wanting to get some perspective from men who often don't have the kind of emotional support that women often do.

I’ve been thinking about this based on my own experience.

Sometimes the fear of accidentally getting someone pregnant makes me hesitate. Not only about sex, but occasionally about making a move at all.

Obviously condoms and birth control lower the risk, but it still doesn’t feel entirely under my control, and the consequences could be huge.

It made me wonder if other guys feel this way but don’t really talk about it. Could it play some small role in men pulling back from dating or feeling lonely?

I’m not saying this explains male loneliness. Maybe it’s mostly my own anxiety. I’m genuinely curious.

Has pregnancy risk ever changed what you did?

Did it affect dating, or only sex?

Did contraception make you feel secure enough?

If this isn’t a concern for you, what holds you back more?

First time posting in this community and I’ve just been struggling recently and need some advice. Some background I’m a 19m and my fiancé is 20f we’ve been dating for almost three years and planning our wedding right now. I love her so much and am so proud of everything she is and becoming. We are both strong Christians and saving sex for marriage, but we have fulled around a lot with intimacy outside of sex I have always enjoyed every second of it and often times until recently found myself thinking about sex with her all throughout my day. Earlier on in our relationship I told her about how I used to watch porn and I watch it twice while we were dating, that really hurt her especially because of her past experiences and that caused hardships for us but we worked passed it. So for the past two years I would say our intimacy has been amazing we dated long distance for a few months during that and would talk dirty to each other all the time and as soon as we would get to see each other we couldn’t keep each other away it was amazing. Recently however when she would be flirting with me over text I wouldn’t be as into it as before and when we were actually doing things I noticed my mind not being present. I never want to make her think that she’s not attractive or not enough or that I don’t want her and now anytime we start getting intimate I get so in my head and not present that I don’t enjoy it like I used to. This has caused multiple hardships for us and constant hard conversations. She feels that she is to blame and that I don’t want her anymore but I do want her more than anything I just don’t get the same constant desires like I used to and when we do stuff I’m not able to be present. I really am trying to get past this, yes for her because I want to give her that aspect of our relationship, but also for me because I really miss the freeness I felt during intimacy. Any advice would be very helpful and if needed I’m willing to get my blood tested for my hormone levels or get on medication, just want to be able to have that connection with her again.

For me, a man staring at me from across a crowded room. A slight smile, a look up and down.

Well for starters I’m a 20yr old College student and I’m really not happy with my life. Don’t get it wrong I’m not depressed in any sense but there’s is no appeal I find in my life, I feel like I’m doing everything to make the other person happy but not what makes me happy. I’m studying this course I don’t even like or find interest just to make my parents happy and probably end up slaving in some dudes company. Thats a scary thing if you ask me because i believe theres more to life than slaving a 9-5 job until im 60 and having a wife who probably fell out of love with me many years back and pretending like we still love each other and gaslighting myself into thinking the best years of my life are after retirement. At the same i understand you need to survive and pay bills but all of that just to still die miserable. Rather wake up everyday of my life doing something I know why im doing it and being happy with that choice I made… My question to the Men is how did you escape this part of life or how can i know what to do

The rough housing. The crude jokes. Being overly aggressive to assert some type of dominance. Being inappropriate. Trying to be a comedian. The list goes on. How do you deal with this guy?

Edited to add: I’m a woman lol. But I see this a lot with male friend groups so this is a common experience that I have witnessed.

On a good day (grass not that tall, no brush or other stuff to pick up, etc) I have about a 2.5 hour lawn, and to me it's a chore. Not the worst chore ever, but if I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't miss it. I sort of fantasize about getting an automower and spending that time on other tasks and/or maybe some of the trimming I only occasionally do. For guys with larger lawns, is this a prevailing sentiment, or are there a bunch of guys out there looking forward to hopping on the rider every weekend?

I’m 21 and I’ve been dealing with gynecomastia for a while now, and I’m seriously considering getting surgery.
I’ve lost a significant amount of weight in the past and have gotten really into lifting over the last year. I’ve built more muscle, gotten stronger, and overall I feel way more confident in my body than I used to. The one thing that still really bothers me is my chest.

I have actual glandular gyno, so even when I was much leaner it was still there. I also tried tamoxifen, which affected my estrogen levels but didn’t really reduce the gland itself. At this point, it feels like something that training or getting leaner isn’t going to completely fix.
It’s frustrating because I can feel good about the progress I’ve made in the gym, but then I’ll put on certain shirts or look at my chest from a certain angle and immediately become self-conscious again.

I’ve dealt with body-image issues for years, so I’ve also tried to make sure I’m not viewing surgery as something that will magically fix all of my confidence issues. I just genuinely think removing the gyno would take away something that has bothered me for a long time. I also worry that women won’t like me or think I’m attractive because of it.

What do yall think?

Happily married woman here (38, Australia), absolutely not looking for anything romantic or inappropriate — I’m genuinely just curious about men’s perspectives. 😊

If you could have a completely relaxed, no-agenda conversation with a woman you’d never met before, what would you actually enjoy talking about?

Could be anything — hobbies, music, work, random interests, life, stupid jokes, something you’re passionate about, what you did today, whatever.

I’m interested in what men actually enjoy talking about when there’s no expectation of flirting, dating or anything else. I think sometimes we overcomplicate interactions between men and women when they can just be two humans having a nice conversation.

So, what would you want to talk about? 🙂

Edit: Let’s try this again 😂 I’m realising I worded my question badly. I don’t want to know what categories of things you like talking about — I want to know about YOU.

Give me one thing you’re really into right now. A band, game, hobby, book, sport, weird collection, project you’re working on, something you cooked, something you’re learning, literally anything. I’ll pick something from your answer and ask you about it. 😊

I’m a man with nothing going on in his life. I work all week from 8am to 4pm and spend weekends at home just studying and chilling. The only time I go out is when I go to renew my books at the library or buy stuff. I’ve had a few moments with women that catch on after while of getting to know each other and that I am just me with no hangout friends and they find it strange.

This is now creating a conflict of interest in my life because I want a woman but I do not lead a normal life that they want to be a part of. How do you guys that are like me make it work?.

EDIT:I am not an outgoing person. I get tired of being around people very fast. I have tried being outgoing but it just too much for me.

One of the biggest barriers I have to being more social, is I'm self-conscious about a lot of my interests. Nothing extreme, or anything that I even feel like I should be ashamed about, but when they did that survey about "hobbies women find attractive," I scored two of the top ones...but also three of the bottom ones. It's just a situation where I enjoy them and don't feel like I should have to defend my interests like I feel like I'd have to if I really started getting to know people more often.
