Is it him specifically or like men in general or like people in general you're not attracted to

I have a friend like this. Her husband is very overweight, eats like poo poo, and refuses to go to the gym with her. She tells me how she isn't physically attracted to him at all but loves him more than anything. This was before they were married and he's only gotten bigger since. I don't get how you could be married to someone or be in a relationship without being attracted to the other person. She prefers woman and says she isn't that attracted to men but loves him anyways.

Whatever works for her obviously but she constantly tries to convince me to find a girl I'm not attracted to because it worked for her.

Over the course of the past 9 years, my wife and I changed from partners to friends to roommates to strangers.

We talk maybe 10 minutes a day. We haven't had sex in 3 years. We sleep in separate beds. We have no shared interests or hobbies, we just do our own things. We might go to the movies together every few years, or something like that. I think she has a new job but I don't know and don't care to know. She doesn't know my mother died in October.

I would divorce but, whoops, I'm a man and I'd lose half my stuff.

Don't ever get married

It seems to me that if you like your stuff so much that you're willing to stay in this kind of non-marriage, then there is something deeply wrong with you. Just give her half of your poo poo and get on with your life. Earn more money later. Problem solved.

Not really. If there's no copyright violation, we don't care. Granted, it's not likely that some lovely Minecraft video will make it to the front page any time. It just stays in the community area.

Edit: Front page is what most video uploaders care about.

One of my close friends got married and is having a kid for that very reason. I haven't met a single person that has been able to stand her husband (including his own family) and the only time I have ever seen him smile was at his wedding when his brother told a story about how this prick locked him in the basement with the lights off when he was 6. Still, they're married and having a kid because she was terrified of being alone and not having kids by the time she was 35. We're all hoping she divorces him once the kid comes along because that dude should not be a father.

I have like 20 marriages, all failed

quote:

I'm the person who ultimately made the decision to remove that "doctor" from the United flight. My side of the story will come out soon, and you're all going to feel extremely foolish for rushing to conclusions.

Notice my quotation marks, that man was a criminal drug addict and had a sexual relationship with a patient. He should have just taken the $800 voucher we offered, but he had to try and martyr himself.

if you smoke a weed you deserve to be punched for trying to ride an airplane, yes *nods sagely*

The "he was no angel" shtick is apparently exactly what United is trying to argue, though; let's see how that works for a post-middle-age Asian man

quote:

My boss used to be cool and good, but as he got promotions and more responsibilities and money, he became pretty awful to work for.

We've had about 60% turnover in the last year, he pushes insane productivity numbers on us that are impossible to hit without fudging numbers (like working through your break or working undocumented OT), but then you get in major trouble for fudging numbers. I don't totally blame him, I understand it's the pressures of the job.

However, I do not ever have to worry about my job security as long as he's there. One day, when he first started, I was walking around on my lunch break. I was taking some video of the office to send to my then-girlfriend, basically saying "This is the office I work at!". Then I walked into the supply closet and caught my boss getting blown by a male intern. I have no problem with being gay, but I imagine my boss's wife would want to know about the affair. And I do have a problem with a nearly 40 year old man having sex with a 19 year old that he's the boss of. So I caught that on film, lucky me.

I let out a yelp of surprise and they see me and freak out. And my boss cut me a deal - I'd never tell anyone about it and he'd make sure I had a job as long as he did. Good deal in my book.

I have this video saved in multiple places; physical media and digital. I was really paranoid for a while he would find a way to delete it. When "the fappening" happened I was really worried that somehow it would get leaked and I'd lose my bargaining chip. But still good.

Every time he calls me in for a one on one to discuss my performance I just pull out my cell phone and set it on the table. And that's the end of the conversation every time.

Last night I finally broke down and bought a realdoll.

I am 32, single, and a virgin. My hobbies and interests are too weird for most people. I like anime a lot, I spend most of my free time gaming, and I write my own alternate universe fiction based on a world where George Washington was a lizard person. My job has me working odd hours; while most people are at the bar or just out with friends, I'm at work. Unless you want to party with me between 5 am and 11 am, it's not happening.

I've tried to make it work with women before. But ever since college, it's gotten harder and harder. I don't blame someone for not wanting to date a guy whose got bizarre sleep schedules and doesn't really enjoy socializing anyway. I don't blame anyone else for my current status, it's just what happened based on my own life choices.

So I bought a realdoll. Expensive but I have money. And I made it look exactly like my dream woman, someone who doesn't exist. So I made the plunge. It'll be here in a few weeks. And I realize I'm committing to a lonely life, but that was gonna be my fate anyway. At least now I have some kind of companionship. I also realize full well that they'll find my dead body one day in this same lovely apartment with a real doll and joke about it.

Post the fic

I dunno, you're throwing this out there as one of many things to be ashamed of, but if you get feedback on it and hone your craft you could eventually get out of your lovely job with it :shrug:

or, y'know, just quit your lovely job and use your realdoll money to pay rent while you find a new one, just sayin

quote:

I participated on the TV show "Iron Chef America" and was ruthlessly bullied by Bobby Flay. I was paid quite a bit of "hush money" to never speak of it. However, with the show returning to the air soon, I want to share this anonymously. Maybe this will stop one kid from looking up to an rear end in a top hat like Bobby Flay.

The day started fine. Filming started extremely early in the morning and everyone at the Food Network was personable and polite and made sure I felt like part of the family. Bobby Flay showed up some time after I was told to report. He eyed me up and down and proceeded to call me a "rickety old ship of a man" and said that my "old bones" would fail in the competition. I am 9 years younger than Bobby Flay.

Although the show appears to be a competition with no time breaks, Bobby Flay requested 7 different "time outs" during our competition. I have been told this is not standard procedure on the show but that exceptions can be made for emergencies. For Bobby Flay, 4 of the time outs were for him to visit the restroom. The other three times he would obviously cheat and either continue cooking or peek over at what I was cooking. I caught him and asked Alton Brown, who was the host, what the deal was. Bobby Flay said "Alton Brown is my bitch, the Food Network is my bitch, and Kitchen Stadium was built by me to house all my bitches. If you want to complain to anyone, complain to God for shorting you on cooking talent". This was all caught on camera by the Food Network.

I ended up losing to Bobby Flay on that episode but couldn't care less. But he made sure to brag and gloat and told me that he "was a championship caliber chef who doesn't go down hard". He then spent the next few weeks emailing me, since I communicated with Food Network through email to get booked on the show. He would send things like "You are a gently caress" and "How's it feel to be no. 2 aka a big poo poo?". These were the emails that really got me the hush money from food network, so thanks Bobby Flay for being a moron who used a professional email address to bully someone you barely knew.

If any impressionable kids who still have a nonzero chance of looking up to Bobby Flay are reading this thread, they should probably stop. Where are your parents???

only people who enjoy my posting can replace this avatar
Bobby Flay always did seem like the biggest dick out of all the iron chefs so it wouldn't surprise me if true. Also you should have known going in that it's almost certainly always partially rigged in favor of the iron chef. The challenger winning seems pretty rare from what I've seen of the show. At the same time though it kind of seems risky to post about it considering it will be pretty easy to identify who the confessor is once it airs, and Bobby Flay et al will almost certainly remember him if he was paid "hush money", and one would assume part of the agreement for receiving the "hush money" is to, you know, hush about it.

also real doll goon you could have just seen a prostitute and have like 10 grand left over instead of buying a weird doll that you'll always worry about people finding out about, and probably have a better time.

Real doll owner: if you write well enough to write long form fiction then you probably write well enough to pick up a girl online. There's a lonely virgin girl out there for you that's around your age and as nervous about getting physical as you are. You can both work on it together. She does NOT look like your fantasy girl, she will be a real human with plenty of flaws and you need to be prepared for that and realistic in your standards.

Real doll confession: Live your life or whatever buddy, but please don't refer to your real doll as a companion. It's an inanimate object in which to stick your dick. Also, 32 is really not that old so stop acting your life is over. If you don't like the way you're living then start making some changes. You can even keep your real doll as long as you promise not to be so weird about it

Flay confession: I don't think I've ever watched a show that prominently featured Bobby Flay (I'm more of a Ramsay man myself) but ever since seeing this commercial I've always assumed he was pretty non-threatening since he gets dunked on like 4 times in 20 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agftlHBOw6M
