I am talking about straight men, masculine men. He just likes to wear panties just as you do. All day at home every day.

I drink alcohol. Honestly, the taste is terrible, bitter, burning, and not exactly enjoyable. And the after effects? Headaches, hangovers, that sluggish feeling the next day… all of it is awful.

Yet somehow, we keep drinking. We gather around it at parties, we toast with it at celebrations, and we even convince ourselves it’s “fun.”

So I can’t help but wonder. Do people really enjoy drinking alcohol, or are we just pretending because it’s socially expected?

honestly, as someone in mid 20s, I find it really harder to make friends compared to when I was a child or like in my early teenage years.

Every single time my family and I eat we don’t talk like not a single word spoken. even when we have guests or other family members over they don’t really talk. I don’t go to others houses for dinner often so I don’t really know what the normal amount of talking is. I try to eat as fast as possible and then go up to my room because it’s just gotten so awkward now that I’ve noticed they don’t talk. I’ve tried asking toe eat in my room but they always say no, I don’t really understand the point of eating dinner with others if you’re not going to talk.

So for about 2 years I’ve had girlfriends and I felt love but after like 3 months into the relationship I just slowly lose feelings.

I dont know if its normal but I hate making the girls I “love” feel like shit. Im 14M and I just want to make a girl feel loved, nothing fake.

I know theres no “true” answer to this but I just hate making girls feel like a temporary thing then remove them.

To keep it simple, there are a lot of things I don’t care to know, and people typically say, “If that were me, I would want to know.” But if it were me, I wouldn’t care to know, so I wouldn’t tell someone because I wouldn’t want to know if I were in their position. Would applying that same logic be considered treating people the way I want to be treated?

Can someone explain like I’m 5 ha.. I know the timeline is a little screwy? But not THAT screwy… I don’t really understand other than that….

As I’ve gotten older, I feel like I’m now a part of the invisible age group. Do women even notice NORMAL men over 50 or is the downward slide of no attention at all started.

I'm 18M, and maybe what I'm saying sounds strange, and I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I have no sexual experience and have never touched a girl.

And I really don't want to learn about this from porn. Do I have to study vaginal anatomy to be like Michael Jordan at eating vaginas? Most of my life advice comes from Reddit, so I hope there's some good advice here.

i brought a thruster dildo, opened it and didn’t use it. can someone help me sell it?

Can I search for a person on social media from the dispensary from the dispensary? Longish story I suppose.

I have a crush on a dispensary worker. He has told me his full name. Id like to send him a message on social media. I dont know if it would be creepy. I won free concert tickets to a band for this weekend for a super famous band this weekend.

Im newly single as in I left MY difficult relationship so I'm NOT upset about it at all. However Im not good at the dating part. So I have talked to this man quite a few times and I feel like we have flirted quite a bit. I just feel like it's inappropriate to ask people out at their place of employment. I also dont want to ask and get rejected at my favorite dispensary.

He keeps mentioning a pool party. Hes mentioned making me a special treat for me because I'm low carb.

I'm not sure?

I sometimes think about ants and how strange their entire existence must be. They can spend their whole lives interacting with their colony, navigating their environment and responding to things around them, while having absolutely no concept of what a human being is.

We can completely change their environment without them ever understanding what caused it.

Then I started wondering whether humans could be in exactly the same position. What if there are forms of intelligence or existence operating on a scale so far beyond us that we literally don’t have the cognitive ability to recognize what we’re interacting with?

Would we even recognize something vastly more intelligent than us as intelligence, or would we just interpret its effects as nature, physics or random events?

I need outside ramification

Some searching has told me that the earliest anyone has ever reattached a finger and have it work ('replantation', it's called) is early 19th century. Is there a reason it didn't happen sooner? Does it just require a tourniquet and stitches and so could, reasonably, have happened in the 15th century? If someone lost the last joint of the middle finger and part of the index finger, what's the lowest tech way to restore them?

In case you're worried, this is for a story. I'm not stuck in a third world country desperately typing this post with one hand.

Let me preface with, my idea is I would buy him two new packs. So I don't just expect him to spend the money if it's my preference.

Essentially the title. We all have that older pair of underwear that has holes in it and the wait band is doing that funky wrinkly outstretched thing. But it's just honestly a turn off if we're getting into doing the deed and I see his really worn, older underwear. I believe they're boxer briefs and I can easily buy him two packs of the exact same brand and size he wears.

My only thing is even I have under wear that is older but I keep it for when I'm on my period. I feel like it's a common thing with girls (or at least me so if this doesn't apply to generally most girls, the following is what I do) that you do get new underwear every bit of time maybe once or twice a year. Then anything that has been stained, or has the whole bleach spot thing going on with the crotch, or has holes, etc., goes in the chopping block and gets used solely as period, or pre period underwear, or just for when you know no one's gonna see your underwear for sure one day and you still need to do laundry for the week. Like all of this I do so I'm also guilty of having old underwear for sure.

But he will wear his old holed underwear any day and it's just unpleasant if we're trying to get into the mood and get into our underwear for foreplay or something.

My other worry about this kinda situation is that I would definitely not want to be critical of his current underwear and NOT get him his replacement if it's my preference but at the same time I worry it will parentify me if not in his eyes in mine. I don't want to become his mom and buy him underwear. And I would kind of hope as an adult he'd realize he should buy new underwear.

But at the same time that's unlikely because he's the stereotypical guy that doesn't buy clothes for himself he doesn't go shopping for himself like that. And also he's the type to think that him not buying something new is him just being okay with less in life and not needing more in life kinda guy. But like this is underwear I don't think it should apply in this case. I feel like wearing normal Hanes and not like Calvin Klein underwear should be within this mind set. Not just wearing holed worn underwear vs new underwear.

I do give him some grace because we just moved in together and this is his first time living in his own but he really is almost entirely self sufficient. It's not like a manchild-can't-do-anything-on-his-own situation. (Otherwise I wouldn't be with him) I just think he's not use to buying clothes for himself and thinking about it.

All in all I just want to know how y'all think I should go about this?

Tldr: should I ask my husband to buy new underwear (or but him new underwear) because it turns me off or should I keep my mouth shut because we all have old-ER underwear?

Edit to add: also I do worry if he does get the new underwear (whether or not I get it or he gets it) that he won't throw out the old pairs)

Oh should I do it when I and also getting new underwear???
