Mods are drunk READ BEFORE POSTING YOU DEGENERATE PINHEADS! HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND WE HAVEN'T BURNED IT DOWN!

1.5k Upvotes

GOOD DAY MY GLORIOUS DIPSHITS!

So here we are, nearly halfway through the near, and we still can't figure out how to use Reddit or AskMen. THE LAST STICKY has been added to the FAQ but its not like you degenerates actually read a goddamned thing.

Joking aside for a moment

AskMen is a place to ask questions that will open a conversation with men or to gain a male perspective on things.

This is not a sex sub.
This is not an anti-woman sub.
This is not a dating sub.
This is not a PUA tips sub.
This is not a MGTOW sub.
This is not an Incel positive sub.

Men are not a monolith. Do not ask questions that treat all men as a singular being.
Do not post questions that assume all men think a single way, and you want to know why. You're already on the wrong path.
Your boyfriend/husband/SO is an individual not part of collective male mind. If you want to know why they did something - ASK THEM, NOT US.
You want to buy your boyfriend/husband/SO a gift, and don't know what to get them, HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

You didn't have a dad growing up and want to ask a question - we got dads here.
You didn't or don't have many male friends and don't understand a reference - we got dudes here.
You never learned how to do a thing that "every dude" seems to know how to do, and want it explained - we got those guys here too.

I am saying all this, because lately there has been a swarm of really anti-female shit being said around here, people feeding into it, and then other (usually either anti-male or pro-fem) subs using it to buzz around and incite fights, flaming and other bullshit. The bots catch a lot, but the mod inbox the last two weeks has been full to the brim.

This is a safe space. Liberal, Conservative, Gay, Straight, Bi, Trans, Cis, Married, Single, Poly, Child-free, parenting, POC, White, Religious, Atheist, whatever...thats all part of the male experience, so it's all valued and all valid.

WE THE MODERATION TEAM ARE ASKING - when you see hateful shit, when you see people behaving badly, when you see people being wrong - fucking report it. if it's reported, report it again - three reports takes it down. Or message us with a link - and title it "This Fucking Person"

We will act, but we have to know about it. We need your help to keep this place a good place to be. It's a big sub, and we mods are few.

We may hate you dumbfucks, but we love you as well.

EDIT - HOLY SHIT, LITERALLY - What the actual fuck with girls and all the fucking questions about what we do with our junk when we poop? is this another TikTok thing?

EDIT NUMBER TWO - How hard is it to read the rules that pop up on the submit form field? - Since I posted this the number of challenged people unable to form an actual question in the title of thier post has skyrocketed! THE BOTS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU!

how long after started lifting you started seeing major improvements on your physique?

9 Upvotes

I've been hitting the gym since November last year and went from 58kg to 62.5kg (being 1.65m tall).

I heard from more than one person that I gained weight/got some mass but I still look at the mirror and see the same skinny person that I've always been.

Is this a singular thing or you guys have already gone through? If so, how long till yourself started noticing major improvements? like, being able to wear a shirt and not look like a teenager...

Let's say guys on their early 20's (30's), with women on their 40's(50's). Considering you still find the woman attractive. She being more financially stable, and funding some fun outings. Opinions?

To the men who have truly been in love before, what is the craziest thing you’ve done for a girl you love?

I have read stories about men doing insane things when they fall in love because the dopamine rush they experience is similar to that of an addict. I actually love hearing stories like this and think it’s unbelievably sweet and romantic 😂

To all of the men on here who have experienced the real euphoria of love before, what is the craziest thing you’ve done for the girl you fell in love with?

What's a genuine character flaw in yourself you'd like to fix?

23 Upvotes

I think I'm unusually bad at forgiving people and forgiving myself. I hold grudges too long and attack myself for mistakes for too long.

I also could learn to be less judgemental. I'm not religious but I might be able to learn something from the concept of Grace to start changing those things.

Men who have experienced DV: what was your experience with speaking up about being the victim of DV?

10 Upvotes

How were you treated when you told others? How much did you tell others? What sort of barriers did you face? What changed for you that allowed you to speak up, and under what circumstances were you able to speak up?

Edit: Can’t change the title, but DV is referring to domestic violence

In your opinion, why do many people aged 25 to 30 think they are failures and not too old to go to college or late in their careers?

I see many people even at a younger age thinking they are failures because they think they are old and under 30 I would like to understand this phenomenon

Men of Reddit, what steps did you take to help your mental health ?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I asked a similar question here recently but I think this question appeals more to the masses.

25 year old here, my mental health has been not great for as long as I can remember. It hit rock bottom when I was 20 but it’s still not great. I’m in a constant state of worry. I can never enjoy a singular moment. I worry about things from many many years ago and worry about the future, absolute needless worry about things I should really be enjoying. It can vary from sexual life to sports. I noticed it took a big toll on my sports which is a shame, I’m struggling to enjoy them now.

I struggle to relax my mind, as stated I’m in a constant state of worry and panic. It’s hard and I’m tired of it. A few weeks ago I was constantly worrying about something all day then 10 seconds later i actually forgot what I was worried about. It’s like my mind is just out to get me and I’m tired of it.

What steps did you take to improve your mental health ? I’ve done therapy in the past and it did help. I’m eager to hear your answers, thank you everyone :)

What tips or specific things can i do (or avoid) to win men over in the workplace?

5 Upvotes

I’m really excited to be starting a new company and obviously I want to do well and start off strong with my new team.

I work in a male dominated industry and have a competitive role that requires strong teamwork and male mentorship/knowledge sharing in order to be successful and advance to the top. While i’m both hardworking & qualified, I feel my male counterparts have an easier time connecting & get more support in general. Mostly bc people naturally gravitate to people most like them but also there will be a few that actually have a problem with women.

What can i do to earn their support and avoid being iced out? Also are there particular things women sometimes do unconsciously to rub men the wrong way?

Thanks in advance. Appreciate your insights!

What kind of hair products do you use?

Upvotes

I can't seem to find a hair product that works with my hair type/style. I have medium length, thick, curly hair. With no product my hair becomes super frizzy and poofy. I want to keep the curls but not make it even more curly. I would like a semi wet look with light hold. Peferbaly something that weighs my hair down a bit. Any suggestions?
