It’s funny getting middle aged and how the calculus has really changed for me. I get compliments from random women all the time due to facial hair, being bald, and dropping weight. My wife laughs her ass off but does get a tiny bit jealous. That grey in the beard does things.
Yup. It’s hard for me to tell at work whether the attention I’m getting is because I’m in a leadership position (people sucking up for promotions and whatnot) or because I’m one of the few married people and thus “safe.” Regardless, I set appropriate boundaries and it works out.
Yeah, the overall stance of Lemmings is that women are perfect creatures that men shouldn’t even breathe in the direction of because we’re all just disgusting pigs and everything we do is wrong and women absolutely NEVER EVER EVER give men signals. Ever. They are not attracted to men, at all. All women want to live in a society without men and be lesbians.
Or at least that’s the impression I’ve gotten from thread after thread on Lemmy.
Only a very minor recontrextualization, it’s largely men who date nearly exclusively through apps. From what little I’ve seen, every app appears antagonistic toward (straight) men looking to date seriously, so they believe that is the way things are irl.
Whole-heartedly agree. Sometimes this site makes me feel like I’m dealing with a bunch of fat, young virgins. Yes, you’ve been screened.
My wife is mad jealous, of every woman. (Her only fault, I can deal.) Wants me to wear my ring more often.
“You know that’ll only get me more attraction?”

Feels good, man.
