Yeah, but it sure is not the same thing. Those are not going to help you climb that very hard route, are they? And who would like to cuddle cheap plastic?

If it exists there is a market for it.

Nope, but at the pool certainly. Or when climbing if the weather is hot.

Compression shorts are incredibly comfy. As long as you don't have whitey tighties you're good, assuming you're built somewhat. I couldn't care less if a hot girl is wearing granny panties or not.

Well, I do trim my bush with a combination of an electric razor and scissors as it makes my dick look bigger and makes things tidier, I'm not shaving that area as I hear it's painful when the hairs start to grow back and I don't like feeling pain.

It's not exactly painful, but the razor burn you'll get is atrocious and not worth the effort.

Wait, what? I never suggested wet-shaving your pubes off, bro! I don't do that either. I just trim.

I'm not saying you did, I'm just sharing my personal grooming experiences but now I feel I've veered way off topic. I'm sure some posters are uncomfortable with me talking about grooming downstairs (no one needs to and probably doesn't want to hear that) or just find it plain boring, but

maybe someone will find use for that kind of info.

I think it's a valid point. These little details matter, as I've already pointed out. Personal grooming is absolutely something that every person should pay close attention to when trying to attract romantic interest. I mean, in this very thread we have had people (not singling anyone out) opining to the effect that 'only I'm going to see it, so it doesn't matter' etc. The same people probably think I'm hopelessly vain and shallow for attaching importance to this stuff, because it's all about outward appearance and it's what's inside that should count. Such people would be completely missing the point; it's about how you treat yourself. You should treat yourself as person who has value. You should be important to yourself and take care of yourself accordingly. You should take pride in yourself and make the most of what you have - that's the mark of a true gentleman or lady. So yeah, trim your body and facial hair, clip your nails, wear nice underwear and socks etc. People might not see it, but you inhabit your body - make it a nice place to live and you'll feel happier and more confident in your dealings with people. This whole thing is all about making little tweaks to your life that affect your overall psychology. They might seem small and pointless but they all accumulate and add up to bigger overall wins.

No. That would be judgmental and stupid. I was just explaining my point of view, not criticizing yours.

Yeah, but the thing is, I do not value underwear, they seem all the same to me.

Have I just stumbled into a Charles Dickens novel?

This thread took a very strange turn.

The question frequently come sup about how you build confidence. That is a challengeing question to answer. The only way I know to really do it is to actually set some small, short term goals and start accomplishing them.

Sorry, it is a long and slow process. However, the longest journey begins with..... looking at a map?

After talking to her a bit, I realized she is insane. Like really insane

Hotsauce, you can't just post something like that out of the blue and not give us any details.

She said she regulary does Ecstasy, Said how white people need to beat their kids more and how she hates white kids because they need to be beaten more.

@Hotsauceman1; You are still talking about your work-colleague right?

Well that is a bit strange. You sure she wasn't in some trip? I would advise to steer away from those pill-heads, at least romantically. Although they probably be easy for a "night-'o-fun", which will get you some experience in that field, it's best to not do it. If she goes into a bad trip, who knows what happens.

I detest people using hard-drugs anyway so maybe I am not the right person to give advice on this subject, but still.

@Thread; As for the other question in this thread about building your confidence; It is bloody hard and isn't really a set-in-stone-solution. All I know it takes time. A lot of time. Confidence also comes with experience, yet, to get experience you need confidence. See where I am getting at? The best advice I can give is try. You will be kicked to the curve a few times, which will be bad for confidence, but eventually it will work and you will be building confidence with every "victory". So don't let you get discouraged by "failure", there is sunshine behind the clouds (if that is an English proverb).

The part of grooming downstairs is good advice. Although many girls don't really care, there are also many who do so better safe than sorry.

Wasn't she just joking around? (it sounds that way - but you know - I wasn't there man).

Because it may be a factor what was her ethnic background / (if your comfortable saying online) what is yours?

Also I have nothing against X - but if shes like bragging about it on date 1 maybe thats a warning sign. (though she mmaybe just wanted to look 'cool' for you).

Was she beaten as a kid ?

This makes it less ok I think. Probably dodged a mess there M80.

"I take ecstasy."

As someone who’s worked retail, I can safely say a lot more kids needed to be spanked growing up. I’d not go so far as needed to be beaten. But as you and your coworker work in a waterpark, I could see where you might get to the point where one might think that.

Not that this is limited to white kids. Bratty behavior transcends race. But there are a large number of spoiled rich white kids who could probably have used a firmer hand with the discipline growing up.

She didnt say it that way....

All teenagers are insane to some degree. I think of some of the idas I had back then and shake my head. Clearly insane.

In other news, anyone else out there getting dates?

The only thing spanking did for me was lead to me resenting my father because it done excessively and without cause. Did I ever act out in public? Not as a child, but I did one completely dick thing as a teen. Was I troublemaker in class? Nope, but according to the private Christian school with a stick up their butt I was because they interpreted half of what I did as a six year old as being sexual.

I can't believe people actually advocate corporeal punishment for children still.

Big date tomorrow night. Met on Tinder. So many good vibes from this girl. We clicked immediately and have exactly the same sense of humour. Haven't been this excited in some time. Wish me luck!

Good luck mate! Sounds like you might just be on to a winner there!


RE: Ecstasy/Racism girl - She's probably lying about the ecstasy. Just my instant gut-reaction. You guys are teenagers, right? Or at least very young? Yeah, not buying it, sorry. She was probably just trying to sound cool, but that's just based on my reading of your posts. And she IS racist. Think about it, Would you have gotten away with saying that you hate asian kids and that they should be beaten more often? I doubt that.
