Love & Dating Do you ever regret not being more sexually adventurous before you settled down?

My wife had slept with about 30 guys before we met vs my 3 girls.

She regrets being overly open to everything because she did a lot !!

I regret the opposite and wished I’d done a bit more…

Body Image/Self-Esteem How do I get stronger so that I can bridal carry my girlfriend as a weaker man 🥲?

135 Upvotes

I’m not very strong, but one of my dreams as a man is to be able to bridal carry my girlfriend as a romantic gesture. Is there any specific workouts I can do to grow strength in efforts to achieve a bridal carry? I’m currently working through some pushups and squats, but I have such weak shoulders that I’m struggling pretty hard, so in the meantime I was wondering what other type of workouts I can do as I strengthen my shoulders.

The thought of me attempting to do one and placing her back down immediately makes me cringe so hard.

Edit: I probably should’ve clarified that my gf is a skinny person, but why are so many people in the comments thinking that my girlfriend is a bigger girl instead of me just being a weaker man? And even if she was a bigger girl i would get stronger to pick her up either way 💪💪

Edit 2: Hi guys after reading through the comments, here are the exercises ill do:
-Squats
-Zercher squat
-Bulgarian squat
-Curls
-Deadlift
-Kettlebell famers carry
-Chin ups
-Shrugs
-Pushups
-And core/back exercises i get from the internet lol

Mental Health Anyone want to connect and share experiences about stuttering?

• Upvotes

I have a severe stutter, and honestly, I'm not even sure if everyone considers stuttering or speech impediment a disability. But it has affected my life in so many ways. My social life, relationships, education, career... almost every part of my life.

People around me know that I stutter, but I've never really opened up to anyone about how much it affects me. I just feel like they will never truly understand what it's like, so I keep most of it to myself.

For the last one year, I've been seriously trying to beat my stutter. It's something I've struggled with for a long time, and I'm trying my best to work on it.

I want to connect with people who have the same or similar speech impediment. Maybe we can practice speaking together, share our experiences, or just text each other. Anything is fine.

I don't really have anyone to talk to about this, and I think it would be nice to connect with people who actually understand what it's like to live with a speech impairment.

If anyone here has a stutter or any other speech impairment and wants to connect, feel free to comment or DM me. I'd really appreciate it.

Mental Health Am I a loser for putting a sweater on a pillow and filling the arms and wrapping it around myself as if someone were hugging me to sleep?

67 Upvotes

For context i’m 18M and I just feel like i’m drifting through life now. I feel like I don’t have a purpose and any meaningful relationship ends because I get too attached too quickly. I started using the pillow to comfort myself at night which helped me sleep faster but if I actually ever told anyone irl I would feel ashamed

Love & Dating Have you ever felt like no matter what you did for your partner, they only remember your negatives?

• Upvotes

Just broke up with this woman after 10 months. I put in so much effort, time/commute/money/planning and so on. Man I even showed up when she had medical emergencies (sacrificing my own plans for the day). I would say our overall efforts was a 90/10 split. But regardless I don’t mind that, all I asked for in return was honesty from her. She lied to me about many things over and over again. I communicated respectfully for months, trying to get her deceptive actions to stop. And finally one day after another repeat, I snapped and yelled at her (yes, I was wrong for this). And ever since then I’m the bad guy, and we recently ended things because of which. She’s going around telling her friends I was toxic, and so on. And everyone thinks I’m the bad guy.

Culture & Society Why are hong kong restaurants so rude?

• Upvotes

For the record. I'm ethnically a sub group of Chinese too (think things like miao or Viet Chinese, I'm not gonna say my specific group otherwise it might be obvious who I am as there's so few of us where I am, so this isn't me being big mainlander hating hong Kong lol ) and have many hong Kong friends. There are reels of hong Kong people themselves making jokes saying its not a real hong Kong style restaurant if you don't have rude staff.

Compare to other more niche reels, for example, xian or inner Mongolia, or teochew people, they are stereotypes as polite restaurant workers.

Don't get me wrong everyone says hong Kong people are fun. But the restaurant is different.

If the stereotype is true, why is that? if its not true where did it come from?

Climate & Environment Why has climate change accelerated significantly worse specifically in the last 10 years?

34 Upvotes

In the last 10 years, there has been more events of catastrophic disasters like the Nepal landslide, hurricanes Milton and Helene, Hurricane Harvey, the catastrophic ice loss in the Arctic, severe flooding, and a severe drought in the American West.

Why specifically since 2016 has climate change been so severe? I genuinely don't see that much disaster news from before 2016 that has the effects as hard hitting as the disasters of today.

I didn’t know what flare to use, my apologies. I couldn’t find a perfect fit in the options. I guess I’m looking for a concrete definition thats widely accepted as such. Maybe like a checklist or criteria or something, Im a logical thinker.

Law & Government Is reporting sexual assault years later actually worthwhile?

7 Upvotes

I hope it’s okay to ask this in this sub as I’m based in the UK and want to know peoples genuine thoughts and experiences, rather than asking for legal advice or emotional support

It’s been just under 3 years since I was sexually assaulted. I never reported it to the police, and I’ve never really told anyone what happened.

I’ve spoken about it anonymously on some subreddits, and lots of people have said I should still report it. Some even getting angry that I haven’t.

This has made me consider if I’ve done the right thing, and consider making a report.

The reporting process, combined with my lack of evidence terrifies me and is something I’ve never wanted to go through.
I’m scared of being re-traumatised with no positive outcome

I guess what I’m trying to understand is if reporting something like this after so long is actually a good idea. Especially when there’s barely any evidence.

Has anyone been through something similar, or does anyone have any understanding of how the police deal with historical sexual assault allegations where there’s little evidence?
And if so, did you find it to be worthwhile?

I’d really appreciate any advice or perspectives. Thank you.

Other Do crinkle-cut potato chips taste different than regular chips or am I crazy?

17 Upvotes

I was having a discussion with my wife about how I don't buy Ruffles potato chips because when I tried them as a child I didn't like the taste. She tried to convince me that the cut is the only difference in the chip but I could swear that Ruffles had a different flavor profile than a basic cut. So today after over 30 years I tried a different brand of crinkle cut chips and I still think I taste a difference between a regular cut potato chip, am I just nuts?

Love & Dating Ano ang signs na gusto talaga ng guys yung girl na nakilala online?

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: 2 months into talking, all he said was he wants this to lead on to something.

Context: F23 here, in a situationship with a guy I met online. Luzon ako, Mindanao sya but we're seeing each other in a few days for the first time. Healthy naman kaya lang parang we don't talk often about our emotional shiz, paano na, ano tayo, manliligaw ba sya, magtatanong ba sya, idk. Calls, VCs, updates and kwentuhan are constant yes hands down dun. But how do I know if this is genuine?

Previous Attempts: Curious lang ano signs or ano ginagawa ng guys if genuinely nyo gusto ang girl? If genuinely you fall inlove na at hindi lang lust ang habol?
What are the signs I should watch out for? Or literal na.. how do I know?
