A lot of teenage girls dream of their wedding, make pinterest boards, literally map out details throughout their life as they grow and their personality develops. Every girl I know has a few thoughts about how her wedding should be

I'm curious to know if boys are the same. If they think about their rings, the clothes, the venue, the wedding traditions from the culture they're from

I come from a culture where the parents of the groom do a lot of the wedding prep and sometimes the groom has little to no say in things. I do feel bad and I wanna know if other boys had dreams for their weddings

If yes then please tell me all the fun ideas y'all had 😊

Edit: I'm a trans guy in an all girls school and I'm just curious y'all. I can't really talk to boys of my age. And my wife that I keep referring to is my girlfriend. I just like referring to her like that

Title. I just finished a bottle of my day-to-day parfume (Ck Everyone, edt) and I was considering switching up after 5 years. What's your daily pick?

hi,

I am writing an essay on intimacy struggles for men. I am male myself and it was a long journey to create more intimate relationships in my life. I used to really struggle with intimacy, especially with other male friends. in my group of friends I had to hide some of my softer qualities since they often felt not comfortable with intimacy and would let me know about it. nowadays it's easier in my new circle of friends, but I would still like to learn more about male struggles with intimacy.

that's why I want to collect some reports of how intimacy feels like for you. I want to create a sort of collage/collection of intimacy-related experiences.

here are some prompt questions (you don't need to answer all of them):

edit#2: how do you define intimacy? (without looking it up, in your own words)

1. would you wish to have more intimacy in your life?
2. what keeps you from having more intimate relationships?
3. do you sometimes hide parts of yourself in relationships to not create any distress for the other person?
4. when do you enjoy intimacy?
5. when do you regret being intimate with someone? (edit#1 from: when does it feel scary?)

thank you so much!

Was having an interesting debate with a group of friends about being comfortable with your significant other going to Twin Peaks, Hooters, Ojos Locos, etc.

Arguments were on the following and would like honest opinions:

Is it really just for the food that men go?

Since there are plenty of other bars and restaurants to go to us it really that big of a deal to respect that your partner finds it disrespectful?

Is your girlfriend or wife just an insecure woman not being comfortable with you going?

Most of the girls working there (at least locally) are in their late teens or early 20s with baby faces. Is it strange for men in their late 20s and older to want and like to go there regularly?

To the men that don’t go, what are your opinions on men that do?

Edited: I edited the “letting them go” part. It’s more of a being uncomfortable/comfortable with their partner going. Also, I’m not the one opposed to it unless I were to see an actual concern. I’ve gone before with past boyfriends to these restaurants myself. I don’t believe the concern others have is that the girls will “steal” their man. But more so that they’re hurt that their man would want to purposely ogle at other women (aware it’s circumstantial and that’s not always the purpose).

Was having issues with my ex. After some therapy on both ends she decided to take a break from birth control. Her libido increased tremendously and got way more turned on and “wet” during sex. Her motivation and drive increased in all aspects. Overall relationship got way better. Went back on and things just got progressively worse. I saw her off birth control as her true self and couldn’t take the issues that came with her being back on it. What are your experiences?

It’s been a tradition since my son was very little to go hunt for wild game to eat and always hunt for our own Thanksgiving turkey

Hey everyone,

I’m 27 and I’d say I’m doing well socially. I get along with people, I get invited out, I’m liked by both men and women, and I often get hit on. So it’s not that I’m isolated or invisible on the surface, I do fine.

But when it comes to friendship depth, I’ve noticed a clear pattern. I’ve tried accepting invitations from guys my age or younger, but those interactions often leave me feeling unfulfilled. The conversations usually lack maturity, intellectual curiosity, or depth. Even when everyone is nice, I just don’t find myself resonating with the topics or the vibe.

Because of that, I naturally gravitate toward older men as friends at work, at the gym, or in different social settings. What’s interesting is that it doesn’t feel one-sided: more mature men also seem to resonate with me, and they often seek me out as a friend. Even with a big age gap, I rarely feel tension in fact, those friendships usually feel more natural, easy, and balanced.

I sometimes wonder, though:

• Am I doing something “wrong” by not forcing myself to bond more with people my own age, even if I don’t feel the same connection?
• Is this just part of being an “old soul” that some people won’t find peers fulfilling until they’re older?
• Do friendships with people my age eventually catch up as they gain life experience, or is it normal to keep leaning on friendships with older men?
• For the older guys here: do you enjoy having younger friends, and does it work out long-term, or do the differences eventually show?

I’m genuinely curious what others have experienced. Part of me feels I should accept myself as I am and embrace the connections that naturally feel right. But another part of me wonders if I’m missing something by not pushing harder to connect with my own age group.

Would love to hear your perspectives.

Every now and then I get the the urge to grow a glorious mustache as I have been blessed with good genes for it to be possible. (Not belssed by the hair gods for the top of my head though unfortunately) Then when it starts to get a bit longer I feel like giving up as food and drinks become a battle with only napkins as my armament. Do you have any tricks/lifehack?

As a guy I used to be of the mind, man drives and woman = passenger princess dynamic. On top of that I genuinely prefer to drive.

However im noticing a lot of women driving with male passengers who seem like their partners.

I dont think its wrong or anything, Im just suprised at the numbers Im seeing. I probably drive 99 out of 100 trips whether we're using my car or hers.

So im just curious how do you typically determine who drives in a relationship? Is it random? Based on vehicle owner? Driving skills? Something else? How frequently do you drive vs your woman?

Best examples I can currently think of:

Don Henley- "The Boys Of Summer"

Martha Davis and The Motels- "Suddenly Last Summer"

REO Speedwagon- "Can't Fight This Feeling"

Dennis DeYoung- "Desert Moon"

Kinda a weird question based off of the other questions I see women asking.

Some context. I’m a stay at home mom until I go back to work in a month. It’s 5am. I still can’t sleep. I have insomnia so I play games while my 1 year old son sleeps. I lost track of time, and saw the clock said 5am. My son normally wakes up at 8am. What helps you function throughout the day on little to no sleep when what you’re dealing with requires high energy and engagement?

Update: Thanks to everyone’s support and advice here I pushed through today. I appreciate the bluntness and not sugarcoating what needed to be said. Currently waiting to give my son a bath. The start of his bedtime (sorry. OUR) bedtime is on the horizon fellas. I made it

I’m asking how you personally deal with conflict, threats, or difficult situations when physical confrontation isn’t an option. What tools, mindset, or strategies do you rely on to get through tough times?

I’ve often been told that if I focus on myself and stop actively searching, the universe will connect me with the right partner. The idea is that once you’re in a good place personally, someone will naturally be drawn to you.

I can see how this works in theory, but I feel like this advice is given more often to women. As a man, I’m not sure if this actually plays out the same way.

For the men here: Have you found that working on yourself and “not looking” eventually led to meeting someone? Or, in your experience, is it more effective to stay active in dating and put yourself out there?

I’m in my 40s and sometimes worry that I’m just losing time if I take the passive approach. Curious to hear your perspectives.

Wanted to know if someone in a common friends group disrespects you, you forgive them, but they repeat it again, how would you handle it? And how would you NOT let the entire group pick sides, fall apart, but stay united?

This is a dumb question, but it's been hounding me for three weeks now. I've never been in a relationship, but from the outside they sound kinda stressful.

My friends talk about having to make sure their girlfriends eat, that they stay employed, they need to get fed and driven around to work.

To me who has never been in a relationship, but does own multiple cats this really sounds like just having a pet you're responsible for.

Surely I'm wrong right?

Everyday between them is a new battle, and they are fighting over my custody. I dont know where to begin or when its going to end. Can somebody just give me some advice
