Context, 35. Has happened a couple times in life; high school, end of college, and now recently. No reason why as far as I know, no bad experiences. Usually lasts awhile before going away.

Not even just at the urinal either, I could be in a stall and same issue.

I wear speedos at the beach. But only in Europe. In the States I get weird looks and sometimes some attention from gay men. I’m also told that in the States women are quite put off by a man in speedos. In Europe it’s quite normal. But then again that’s just two cultural hemispheres and I’m sure there are a lot more opinions out there.

I don’t know the right way to go about it . I feel it is a valid yet awkward question to plug in

My boyfriend has often very stinky feet and even new shoes get smelly pretty fast. He himself suffers moderately from this (for example, he has a pair of new shoes he only wears to see his physical therapist so that when he removes the shoes for the appointment there won't be stench). He washes/scrubs his feet when he showers.

I think he puts it off as a "man thing" and hasn't really looked into it himself. I now thought I'd post here and see if some of you men have had the same problem and found a solution that works well for you?

TIA :)

I wanted to know this and put it on a poll but then one answer got spammed and the research portion ended up not working. I want to know something that she does around the house that you would miss not having to do, like laundry, dishes, or cooking (intimacy is another I will count). No answers that say “id just miss her” are helpful, I need answers that include actual things she does around the house that count as labor. Thank you! <3

Like sometimes when im struggling mentally, he kinda just keeping it real with me. He said things that are hurtful at the moment but overtime, he ended up being the right one. It made me realize how stupid i was at the moment…especially as a man, i came to realize hurtful words are needed for growth.

For the last few years since my parents passed away, I’ve been dealing with uncertainty about all aspects of my life.

I’m the type of person that will inevitably create his own stress, and for the last few days it’s been consuming me. I’m starting to see slivers of gray hair in my late 20s.

I go to therapy. I take Wellbutrin.

I feel like the world is slowly caving in on me and I’m going to be crushed.

My company is being acquired, and layoffs are a staggering possibility.

My wife and I just closed on a house, and are cleaning the other to put on the market but it slowing down makes me worried about two house payments.

I’m quite literally drowning in debt from a previous divorce, court costs, etc.

My kids are growing up and I feel like
I’m not the father I should be for them.

I try to look back and acknowledge I’ve made it through every hard thing I’ve had to deal with in the past, but this feeling of impending doom keeps coming back and putting a strain on not just my life, but my relationships with my wife, kids, and friends.

How do you guys handle these intense times of uncertainty?

As the holiday season approaches, most male gift related commercials trend towards power tools so we can do work and fix stuff, while women get the diamonds and clothing marketing. I got snow boots for my bday one year, I live in AZ and they've been used once. I asked my family and wife to stop getting me gifts, saying if I want something, I'll just go get it. I am also the sole provider for my house, so my wife feels odd buying me something with "my income" despite us sharing the funds equally, I prefer it that way tbh.

Have you gotten any odd gifts, or something that was a clear sign that you were an after thought?

I found mine is words of affirmations, both giving and receiving. It hasn’t been really been working out. You?

What did that person do that made the experience so unforgettable?

I've noticed that sometimes a man can seem very affectionate, loving, and genuinely happy in a relationship till the end, only for the relationship to end unexpectedly suddenly shortly afterward.

For men who have experienced this yourselves, what was going on emotionally? Did your feelings change suddenly, or had you been having doubts for a while without showing them?

Fellow men, give me answers . So for context im 5 months postpartum. Me and husband had great chemistry and literally best friends hanging out all the time before my pregnancy. After pregnancy he entered my full time caregiver and father mode. We are in long distance temporarily for medical care . He Was with me throughout labour and an amazing involved father. Even now we speak all the time on calls and he spend almost all of his free time apart from work , with me . The only change is he shows me almost zero physical affection. Not even basic hugs or forehead kisses. Always stays few feet away me . Initially i thought it was sweet that he is giving me time to recover. But now it has become the norm despite me trying to initiate anything. The continuous and only response he gives is that “He respects me too much now. He sees me as a mother now and that he only feels love towards me. No physical desire so far” As sweet as this sounds, I am afraid that this might have permanently changed our relationship dynamic . Or he might get physically attracted to someone else during this long distance . Or im ugly now and he is just not saying that to not hurt my feelings (although im already close to my pre pregnancy weight) .

Do men actually stay away bcz of respect for few months? Will we become normal again ? Or is he hiding something?

If you were a billionaire, would you have a big mansion with lots of amenities and spend most of your time there? Or have multiple vacation homes and switch between them? Would you travel around the world alot? Circle around restaurants, bars and outside events? How do you imagine you'd be spending your 'fun time'?

It’s been a few months since my 12mm buzz and I’m already getting very self conscious about how my hair looks. I’ve grown my hair out a few times but I’ve always just cut it off when it started looking really bad. How did you get through these phases and how did you keep your hair looking good while you grew it out?

Even though you may have similar thoughts outside but it is not the same..

Hi, which deodorant brand you all use that is not leaving white stain on your clothes?

I have tried lots of them brands out there, and they all leave stains which does not go away even by washing.

Thanks

Being shy is fucking embarassing as a man, I want to stop being this way

Could be habits, exercises, food etc.

What is the male equivalent of flowers/candy/stuffed animals? (Not that you can’t like all three of those). But let’s say you get your partner flowers every so often, what is something your partner can give you that makes you feel appreciated and let you know that you were in their thoughts ?
