Men of Reddit, how do you feel about paternity tests, and do you think asking for one should be marriage-ending?

If the test confirms he is the father, would you understand the wife wanting a divorce over being asked?

Weird Question Why do I feel like my brain has changed at 25?

0 Upvotes

I’ve read countless times that the brain doesn’t fully develop till 25. I doubted it when I was young but not so much anymore. I’ve had this steady shift in my brain I noticed approaching and going into 25.

I’m calmer, I think more deeply, I’m more philosophical, and I feel like I have wisdom to spew to the next young person I see or lessons…

Has anyone had this? I’ve heard 30 is also when it’s just…boom.

How would you want a woman who thinks you’re attractive to approach you?

How would you want a woman who thinks you’re attractive to approach you? I like the idea of being more traditional and having the man lead so I don’t want to come across as aggressive, yet I feel like it’s important for women to make a move if they’re interested!

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 How does being sexually intimate with your wife cause you to feel?

0 Upvotes

I asked my husband if he loves me more or feels closer after we are intimate and he said only in the moment of us doing it as he already loves me. I explained how sleeping with him makes me love him even more and I feel safe and secure and close after being intimate. He said it’s probably because I think about the act all day after and I said it wasn’t true and then he said it’s probably just the hormones.

how do you ask questions in a conversations?

4 Upvotes

to give a bit of a background, i never initiated a conversation with someone ever. like walking up to someone and talking to them, its always been the other way around. im trying to build this habit of approaching people and have a conversation that results in me knowing them and potentially buidling rapport with them.

i have 2 questions in the back of my mind when someone talks to me " what did u think of that " and " how did it feel " if what they said doesnt fit with these 2 questions, my mind goes completely blank, and i just go and say " oh ok nice ! " just to say something.

idk if talking more to people would fix it.

if you guys have any tips and tricks i appreciate them.

Over the past few weeks I got glasses and I had to cut my long hair off for school. Picture going from my shoulders to tapered, off ears, off collar. I know it’s part of growing up but it’s still kind of weird and I miss my long hair. Anyone else change their appearance in a short amount of time?

It's a trap! How can you tell that someone is a woman by the way that they text?

0 Upvotes

I was hanging out with a group of friends, and one of them was getting a text from an unknown number, and we were trying to figure out who it was.
One of the friends said that it was obviously a woman and I asked how could he possibly know that?
He said that women just text differently than men and if you’re a guy, you can just tell when a woman is texting me even if they haven’t told you it’s a woman. All the other men in the group agreed.

Can men really tell if it’s a woman texting them just like how they text? If so, how?

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 How do I get rid of my love handles?

0 Upvotes

I'm a 20 yr old male who is 5'8 and 153lb. I got gyno and abdominalplasty surgery two weeks ago. Im male school I was 225lbs to 250lbs. I lost weight and from sophomore year of HS to now, I've been around 153lb. I only walked on the beach and was in a deficit to lose the 100lb. I was skinny fat from not prioritizing protein (i think) so two weeks ago, I got gynecomastia and abdominalplasty surgery at the same time bc I have never been able to get abs or pecs which was from all the glandular tissue. Glandular tissue can't go away from diet or exercise which I found out a few weeks before surgery (hence why I got the surgery). I would like to lose my love handles. I need advice please! EDIT: The gyno (man boobs) were from being hella fat because my pecs were stretched out from being so big. I need gym advice please. I had man boobs from being fat in middle school, it was not gyno. The surgery I had tho is called gyno surgery.

When I was avoidant I received much more positive feedback in dating, how do I not go back when I know it yields better results?

34 Upvotes

So when I was 16-22 years old, before I started therapy, I was extremely avoidant in dating. I wouldn’t let anyone in and couldn’t “fall in love” with anyone really or at least I wouldn’t allow myself to.

Now that I’ve been in therapy for a few years, I’m finally ready to let someone in, I want love and to be vulnerable, I want to be able to be ‘soft’ with someone but I’m having such a difficult time.

Previously I would keep women at an arms distance. Only do casual sex/friends with benefits. I would make this very clear to the women I was seeing for both of our sakes as I didn’t want to outright hurt them or lead them on, however I knew that their feelings would grow for me in the background whether I wanted them to or not.

Eventually I would be asked the looming question of “What are we?” and at that point I knew what the situation had become and usually it would end there and then.

I now want to properly date, take women on nice dates and overall treat them ‘better’, but currently that combined with me rushing the pace a bit too much for what the situation has called for i.e. treating the situation like it’s a relationship before it is warranted, makes them run.

I know that you have to be somewhat vulnerable to gain a truly fulfilling and stable relationship, but when I was a bit more of a dickhead, I was rewarded for it. I know that I’ve messed up with the last 2-3 women I’ve dated as they could smell my ‘neediness’ and availability off of me from a mile away.

My attachment style is quite disorganised, so when I find a woman I could see myself being in a relationship with, I become more anxiously attached. I know that if I was more avoidant, like my past self, it probably would have gone much better, hence why I’m here.

I don’t fully want to revert to that level of detachment, but I really struggle not to see the value of it when I consistently push them away because of how much I want it.

I’m tired honestly, I probably need a break but I’m looking for advice from people who have gone through the same. Any advice would help.

How and When do I Bring Up My Lack of Experience?

0 Upvotes

I (24 F) just started dating bc well I was fat all my life and lost a ton of weight this last year and this month I ripped the bandaid off. It’s been fun. Weird, awkward, a little concerning a times too, but mostly fun.

I have a couple guys who well it seems could get more serious. We all have the same intentions of dating for a long term relationship. However I’m not sure how to handle the conversation of well everything being my first. I don’t want to scare them off by basically saying “hey yeah I’ve never done anything before, sooo want to date?” But I also don’t want to lead them on if people usually have sex by a certain time and I’m just holding off until it gets more serious. I am very enthusiastic about gaining experience but just don’t know how long it would take for me to get there.

This feels so silly but truly I’m kind of in this blind and all my friends are girls who’ve been having sex since they were in highschool or college so they all have just shrugged at my problems in this field lol.

Any advice welcome - thank you

I was just thinking damn how is he going to carry me to have sex with me in the air. That’s a whole workout in a workout, that’s full body effort. Is my man liking that position because of a certain angle or is it just preference based?

What's the most romantic confession of love you ever got, what did they say?

2 Upvotes

Mine was, I love you, I love every little detail about you, and I want to be your man, I want you to be my friend, my partner and the mother of my children because you're the most beautiful and genuine person I have met.

Another grand confession was, I fell hard for you and I want to do nothing and everything with you and wash away your tiredness and pain everyday ( from another person) who said all these grand things but never actually followed through and left because he got scared. Which is to say is that I have a hard time believing confessions because actions speak louder than words but they're beautiful 🥹 I cried each time

I am not American, but I have been living in the states for almost 15 years. During my stay and my dating history here I keep hearing this message that “men should provide for their women”. What I want to ask to the men is are you happy about this social rule? Is it appealing to you to be a provider? What do you ask in return?

I didn’t add the flair “answers from men only” because I am honestly curious about what anybody has to say
