Does it bother you when you realize that a woman you're dating or might want to date looks totally different without her makeup?
Shakespeare nailed it when he said, "God has given you one face and yet you make yourselves another". Look pretty, that's anyone's prerogative. But still look like you.
I don't like make-up on a woman, part of my attraction to a woman is a lack of makeup; I like to see someone's natural beauty.
If you had a choice, what would you want to be different in the world? Anything besides politics please :)
I wish everyone had well-developed critical thinking skills, and not just believe whatever they want to be true.

I got one! How is your day going also what is your favorite flower!
On holiday so all good. Love lots of different flowers. And actually really appreciate being bought flowers sometimes. They're not just for women.
Kinda mixed, actually. I'm making good progress in my training into a new job and I have a steady paycheck for a change. On the downside, my wife isn't bouncing back very fast from laparoscopic surgery. I've always been fond of orchids, calla lilies, and spider mums.
Best of luck to your wife. I do hope all is well.

What do guys gossip about? Or do they not gossip?
I'll assume you are asking about guys that are teenagers. "Gossip" isn't really a guy thing. Guys usually talk about interests, like cars or sports or video games, or whatever. A group of guys hanging out together won't usually talk about feelings, unless it's to tease one of the guys about a girl he likes. Guys do talk about which girls they think are sexy. A few guys, but not the majority, will brag about 'conquests' (whether true or not), and which girls are willing. It's not hard to figure out which guys. Guys absolutely have feelings, but often avoid talking about them because of the fear of ridicule or appearing weak.
Men do not gossip. They don’t. A group of men. having a drunk conversation. will talk about anything except emotions; we’ll talk about music, DIY, cars, whatever, but just manly stuff though: We're all going through something, but there is this underlying tacit thing going on where you just don't talk about feelings. However, the exception is when you are alone, with that one friend who empathises with you and you both have a quick chat about 'feeling down', 'unappreciated', 'alone'. But you only do this with someone that you trust, that you have empathy with.
Do guys give any obvious hints as to whether they like someone else that I've been missing? I think one guy may like me, but I don't know how to tell for sure.
please guys this is a struggle to know cause one minute yall act like you love us the next you hate us please help us understand you
He is stuck between the confidence needed to approach you, and the fear of rejection. In addition, there are still women who add confusion by the "play hard to get" BS and then wonder why he doesn't try again. Also we need to be hit on the head with a 2x4....My wife of 25 years had to ask ME out on our first date, as I was clueless
uh I mean If u go up to him and ask that's the best way tbh. every other guy I know would try their best to not give any signs, prob bc they think a girl would think he's creepy
There is no universal answer. A simple answer: Do you sometimes catch him looking right at you? That's a likely sign. However, guys don't all think the same. I used to know a generally nice guy, a young school teacher, who was pursuing a woman continuously. As soon as she spent a night with him he suddenly turned very cool toward her. So, how could he act like that? There can be one or more reasons. Some examples: (a) He wanted the ego boost, and now that he's got it, he's done, (b) He found out something that he didn't like, or she said something that he heard as belittling, (c) He's found out he really, really, likes her, but it scares the heck out of him because it feels like he is no longer in control of himself, or he doesn't trust her, (d) He likes her, but he doesn't want to give up seeing other women, (e) His dad set a poor example and never said nice things to or about his mom, so he thinks that's the way a 'man' behaves. There are other reasons but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.
As a whole no. Romantic subtility isn't always a strong suit for men so if you think he likes you then ask him. No metaphors, no coy wordplay, a simple question is perfect.
for me, i just try and make eye contact at the right moment...... so if you think you've just said the funniest thing ever, and a guy is looking you right in the eye as he says you're a funny f****r.,,,,,,, count him in,...... if however no matter what you say he swears blind he's had it harder, funnier, more complete etc...... then they're generally just wishabodies
What do you assume about shy girls? Do you like girls more if they are social and talk a lot?
It's very difficult for the average boy to understand shy girls. If they never say anything, it's almost like she's not even there. Often the only thing guys know about a shy girl is how she looks. If a shy girl has a sense of humor, try to let it show. It could be a funny sign on a locker. Also, if there is something you like that you think some guys would like, let it be known so they can ask you about it. You could ask another girl to ask you about it within the hearing of guys.
Thank you for the advice, it does really seem like I m invisible to people sometimes
Load More Replies...How do I act more like a guy?
I'm trans. I want to act like a guy. I don't like me
Load More Replies...Trans Male here - if you're looking for tips on "passing" as cis-male, youtube and reddit can be great resources. Just be careful to not share anything too personal and take EVERYTHING people say with tons of salt. Some of the things that have helped me in my trans-journey are as follows:1 - Sports... Not the stereotypical, he-man-macho-chair-ref stuff but actually playing sports. Get to know your body as a male. Get dirty, sweaty, tired and realize that you are a powerful being. Love your body and treat it well. 2 - clothes: get yourself a few pieces of male clothing that you like the way you look in. Enjoy wearing male clothing that was made for you as a male. 3 - gait: this is a weird one but it seriously helps... Walk like you have something between your legs. You may not have been born with the equipment downstairs my brother but don't lit stop you from owning the walk. And again, I'm not talking about the toxic, masculine, "alpha male" strut. Walk with your feet at shoulder width instead of placing one in front of the other. This allows your shoulders to swing free and minimizes hip movement. Take the opportunity to feel the width and power of your shoulders and stand tall. Hope these help my guy! Best of luck
Oh! And one more I forgot is voice: if you're not taking testosterone as part of hrt there are still a few ways to lower your voice to a more male register. Search "ftm voice tips" on youtube or reddit. For me, talking more slowly has helped a lot! Most cis guys I interact with speak at a slower pace than I did when I first started transitioning. Slowing down my cadence allowed me to relax my vocal cords deeper and use sentence patterns that might be more typically "male"
Load More Replies...There's a veeeerrrrry broad spectrum of what constitutes "male" out there. Lots of it highly undesirable. Just treat others as you would wish to be treated, do what makes you happy and comes naturally whatever that may be.
gotcha bro- a good trick is to stand yet still lean back while your hips are slightly more forward to balance you, feet shoulder width apart shoulders down, neck straight, stay relaxed tho, u can also wear boxier shoes idk why but it makes one look more masc, i hope this helped man good luck and if u ever dont like how u appear or carry yourself- fake it till u make it (im pangender btw so ik what transitioning is like) also remember less is more here-
Depending on what your experience of guys acting like I'm not sure why you'd want to.... but if you're looking for tips on how to 'guy' don't take any tips from any guy that calls themselves 'alpha'......... it's wrong and they're the type of guy that 'guy's guys look down on for doing all the pretence and s**t' a guy's guy is a guy who can be funny in a bar and still make look things like knitting cool and not have to flex in any way.
I want to because I'm trans and I want to act like a guy. Okay, thanks.

Load More Replies...what do you do when you have a crush on a girl?
Apologise as i back up the excavator and call emergency services while trying to perform first aid (that i don't know very well) and then weep.
Despair. Welcome! You’ve now entered a world of nuances, subtle gestures and other unfathomable ‘reading between the lines’ talk, that will keep you occupied, until you’ve realised you’ve screwed everything up anyway. Why? Because of your inability to decipher nuances, your attempts at subtle gestures and being completely unable to read between the lines.
So, we're talking about guys who don't have the confidence to just ask her out. If it's a really strong crush, a guy will obsess about her, imagining what it would be like to be with her, if she would want to kiss him, or would she laugh at him? And the hormones can be difficult to cope with. If the girl likes him back and wants to boost his confidence, she can complement him about something. On the other hand, if she's already got a boyfriend then it's really frustrating. Does she really like the boyfriend, or is he just a convenient boyfriend? Would she consider someone else?
Why is everything so gosh darn funny? I mean, all my male friends just laugh their butts off when I point something out. Is this normal?
Because....... no one gets out of life alive......... we're all gonna die...... so all the day to day s**t has to be funny..... otherwise we'd all break
WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO AT SLEEPOVERS!?!?!!?!?
Probably the same things we do at girl sleepovers, get high and make out.

Load More Replies...Aight so this guy said he liked me and then the next day he said he did but didn't. I asked again a week later and he said he likes me more than a friend but not a crush. I asked what that meant and he said I'm a good FRIEND. I've been confused for a couple days now. What is goin on with him?
Ok, thanks. He's been this way since 2nd grade. We're now freshman in highschool and I'm just like bruh
Load More Replies...One thing women do not understand is they are SO much more mature than men at any age. As just a rough guess, in 9th grade you are probably 2-4 years more mature emotionally than he is. This is probably a little of the explanation of why traditionally women dated a little older men than themselves. TL:DR Men are immature. We always have been. I think this will help explain a lot.
At that age, hormones can make it difficult to even know what he feels, other than horny. However, if he's been saying things like that since 2nd grade then it's not hormones. I suggest not asking him anymore, in case he's just saying what you want to hear. Let him figure out what he feels on his own.
He also notices little details about me on FaceTime and some of the things he notices are things my ex bf never noticed 😔

personally i am attracted to them as much as i am petite women....... but t hen i'm bi and so is my missus. one problem with non bi people l have is that they equate being bi with being polyamorous so they think we're all just having orgies ( bit of projection there i think) rather than we can just think either (right) person is hot....... anyway.... yeah........ on the right face, with the right attitude.. with the right mind...... I can find a woman benching more than me very attractive and hot. even if i wasn't bi...... i think i still would..... strength in any context, physical or mental is hot as f**k.
Well, it depends. Some guys have no problem if a woman looks buff like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2. If she looks like Arnold, then not so much. Women with a lower-range voice, like Michelle Norris (used to be a reporter on NPR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHqV41HLRic) can be pure pleasure to listen to, especially when she says intelligent things.
Every man is attracted to different things. Who knows why. Nothing universal pro or con. Same as you, do you like funny men, tall, educated, blond or brunette, race? Everyone will like different things, so being a little masculine will be turn on to some, turnoff to others.
Alright, I have been waiting for something like this. Alright is it like a normal thing to just get up grab your crotch pull a little then keep walking like why?
Girl here. Pretty sure that’s just adjusting the twig and berries to a more comfortable position. Fabric bunches, and the bits get shifted and squashed. Ya ever have to adjust your bra after being in a certain position?
Been a guy for 40 years: i confirm. Also *not* adjusting makes it risky to randomly sit down.

What's the best way to get your phone number if we're shy?
Approach in quiet area with them alone (not too private, in library or cafe with them sitting alone) that way they are not "putting on a front" for the bro's.
I suggest asking him if it's OK to send him a text sometime, because maybe you want his opinion about something. It could be anything. Like, you want to buy some headphones or earbuds, what would he recommend?
Both shy? Just ask: I've been asked my phone number twice in my life, and it was GREAT! Option 2: give *your* number (happened to me 20 years ago, and I *still* feel special when I think of it)
Thx guys... I'm actually not that shy, just when I talk to my crush lol
can yall feel our boobs when we hug and if you can what does it feel like
i barely hug anyone, mate. im not one for physical touch
Load More Replies...Very apparent and nice. Says the gay guy. But yes - they are hard to miss.
We're aware they are there. Sometimes a guy may be specifically "looking" for the feeling of your boobs pressing against their chest. Other times they may be trying to specifically avoid feeling them, usually if you are a really close friend and they have a lot of respect for you. But let's be honest, guys love boobs and they are aware of their presence and how the boobs may effect what they do, how they lean, where they stand for a better view....
Oh, hell yes. It feels soft, squishy, and warm, and almost heart-stopping if he's not used to it. On the other hand, it feels really awkward if she is a relative or a lot older.
Haha hey guys! This might seem weird to ask but are some guys intimidated/ scared away by loud girls? By loud I mean like verbally loud of course but also just very energetic and rambunctious sometimes...I'm a little like this and it seems to scare guys away?? would it be more attractive if I was quieter?? idk... Not really sure how to word this one lol
Depends on the guy. A quiet guy could be intimidated, or just as easily repelled because it's so different than him. Energetic and rambunctious can be really attractive, but it depends on what you say. Do you like loud guys? It's probably more important what they actually say, right?
I mean yeah I guess, it makes me happy when a guy can get excited about something with me...but being loud also means you have to know how to be polite ya'know? Like there are times to be quiet and times to be loud and excited.
Load More Replies...As Skara said it depends on the guy. When you're dating someone or even hanging out socially with people you're a unit. If as an individual you like to sit down at your table and not have everyone looking at you then being with someone that is bringing you attention is uncomfortable.
True true, it's like the extrovert with an introvert situation. That makes sense.
Load More Replies...Yes that makes sense, but I do want to clarify there are times to be loud and excited and times to be quiet. There's a balance. But yes, I can sometimes be tiresome. As long as you have the courage to tell me I'm being tiresome I can quiet down.

Hey guys of the internet, I used to have way more guy friends than girl friends at school and I wore makeup once and they asked me deadpan / part shocked if I was hungover do you assume this with all girls thinking their makeup is real or were my friends pulling my leg cause honestly couldn't tell
I don't quite understand the last part of your sentence, like, "do we assume girls who start wearing makeup are hungover?" Nope. Not to be insulting, but maybe ask other girls or a makeup consultant in a store how they think you should do your makeup?
I think OP left out a word and meant to say that she didn’t wear makeup because she was hungover.
Load More Replies...Does it matter how pretty a girl is? What is the first thing you notice about a girl?
In general, yes, it matters, but the details vary. Different people are pretty in different ways. For example, I know I have a weakness for dark, wavy hair, but have no clue why. Maybe because I have light, curly hair. That said, I've seen some amazingly attractive blondes, so it's not very important. Clothes and hair matter to some extent, but a girl's attitude is a major, major factor. The first thing I notice, other than approximate age is her facial expression. Does she look fun to be around? Does she looked stressed or angry? Then I listen. Is she selfish, cruel, or demeaning? Is she intelligent?
It really very much depends on the girl and sometime even the situation. Also depends on your definition of pretty.
Do you ever get your man bits caught between your legs while walking or running?
Yes, sitting down. You know how a nutcracker works? That's the worst possible position. That's the only reason for guys spreading their legs.
Oh yes. Try dealing with an unwanted boner in a public space...
Load More Replies...Thanks for the info. Seems you're the only one who answered the question as written. Good job.

Medium build and above average package. Which frankly means a lot of chaffing and fiddling. And trying to find underwear that snuggles it all together without causing impotency!! Bikes suck and long walks are just downright uncomfortable.

Without knowing what Pixxel is talking about I have to agree it does sound very 4Chan-esq.

Load More Replies...How much of a "omg no" reaction does the average man have when learning the lady he is crushing on is a mother, even if she is single?
There is no average man. I imagine most guys think a women without kids is far more available for fun, and I'm not talking only about sex. If a guy wants to take you to parties or some sports game or whatever, then non-moms are preferable. If a guy wants a meaningful relationship, then a woman with kids is probably more grown up, has clear priorities, and therefore easier to understand and appreciate. But if the kids are too wild or actnasty, that's not a good sign.
Thank you for your answer :)
Load More Replies...It really depends on how he feels about children generally. Personally, I find children utterly uninteresting, and have take pains to marry into only adult stepchildren. I know I have the parental instincts of a doorknob and want to spare an innocent child (whether "mine" or not) that sort of indifference.
Depends on the circumstances. If it's because the father was an assh0le they might think you are attracted to sh*tty people. If you are a widow they might think they could never compete with the rose-colored memories of your former partner.
How old were you when you learned about periods?
I learned details in 4th grade, so I was 9 or 10. The teachers sent all the girls to the gym for a presentation, then later it was the boys turn. There were separate videos for the girls and boys, but my school showed both videos to everyone, to show there were no secrets. They didn't go into a lot of detail, but said enough for us to know there's blood for several days, and crucially, _why_ there is blood, so that it made sense.
Weird question (sorry) do you ever sit on your -magic stick-? I’m assuming that would hurt.
Well, I've never seen that asked before. It's possible (for some guys more than others), but not painful, especially when at half-mast or less. At full salute it's, uh, looking in a different direction, but even so, these things are built to take a beating, and enjoy (even crave) squeezing sensations, if not overdone. If it's not clear, it is an entirely different story for the other gear.
So I have a hypothesis I wanna check. I have low self-esteem but one thing I don't struggle with is my appearance, I like my face and believe I'm pretty. But I've never been asked out before or anything. (I'm nearing the end of high school.) My guess is that it's cuz I'm SUPER shy, I don't do extracurricular stuff, and sleep is more important to me than makeup or doing my hair nicely. Does that make sense, like am I close with that guess or?
Can be any number of reasons. Including but not limited to seen as out of their league
Can vouch for this. I was a shy guy and had a lot of trouble asking; also I may be on the spectrum as I have poor ability to read faces, tones, or the room. At 10 year HS re-union found out I had missed a LOT of mutual interest
Load More Replies...I'm a lot older than you but I can tell you that most guys are not going to ask you out without having formed some kind of connection with you before hand, so overcoming your shyness and talking to people would probably be something you should try to work on, not just for dating but also so that you can experience life, this in turn will make you a more interesting person to be around which will make you more attractive.
Are you willing to try a hobby or activity that guys like? It's a good way to give guys a chance to get to know you. If guys never hear you say anything, all they have to go on is your appearance.
My guess is: if you are both shy and you don't much in the school community, you might be viewed as "stuck up." Again, *might be viewed*. If you are interested in a relationship, find people with similar interests (beyond sleep😉) and let the cards fall where they may.
I know a lot of nice men who date or are married to a lot of not very nice women. Is bitchiness / mean a turn-on, and if so - why?
Generally that's low self esteem, you'll see that sometimes in relationships regardless of gender
anything bitchy is a complete turn off for me.......... if i walk into a room with a woman and i can sense any sort of hate or bitchiness off the other women then the shutters come down completely and there's no recovery path.
personally i don't gossip....... and it turns me off to f**k when someone i meet does.
Load More Replies...Well opposite attract. I have had a lot "bitchy" girlfriends..( friends used to make fun of it) personally I find them more sexy.... But it's all individual.
Some of these "nice guys" who seem to be all sweetness and light have a dark underside, they'd like to be mean and attack people instead of being nice, but they don't have the nerve to do it. So, they marry some woman who does. She goes around bitching out people he wants bitched out, he never says anything that isn't nice, so he gets the double benefit of being universally liked and the people he dislikes get verbally abused with no effort on his part, so it's a total win for him.... unless she turns her sharp tongue on him. And this happens in real life, because I'm describing my parents' marriage here.
Haha. Thank you for the deep dive.

A lot of men became different once married too. Some get controlling after. This goes both ways!
Load More Replies...I have a legit question... Why do guys cheat? Like if you're in a relationship and you're not happy why not just leave? Why cheat and lie? And bonus question, when you're caught why lie more? Wouldn't you want the respect of being able to walk way knowing you at least told the truth? I just can't wrap my head around that. If you're not happy for whatever reason...leave. Simple. *disclaimer* I know that not EVERY man cheats. I know not EVERY man lies. I'm just asking. also, not a man hater. I love my fiance very much and no he hasn't cheated, my two exes did and since they'll never give me a straight answer, I decided to answer here.
That doesn't help me as I am not the cheating kind so I don't understand it. :)
Load More Replies...OK, based on (probably out of date) anthropology I learned in college. Let's start with basic male/female biology of animals. If the male of the species usually sticks around to raise the babies, then it is very much to the female's advantage for the male to NOT mess with other females. Conversely, it's to the males advantage to 'sire' babies as often as possible. Meanwhile, some females seek multiple partners because differing male genes increase the likelihood that at least some babies will survive if some males have genetic abnormalities. I'm not even talking about humans yet, but the above reasoning still applies, with the added layer of, "is it fun". To get to your point about the lying, whatever the gender: I think lying is just a very strong indicator that the person just doesn't care about the effect of their actions and doesn't want to argue about it. I don't think acting honorable is even a consideration for them. [And no, I'm not trying to justify any of this behavior].
I thought about this too, because it was in our "DNA" to breed to keep the race alive, but like everything people evolve so at this point, I just feel like that "urge" for lack of a better term would've been eradicated by now.
Load More Replies...would the guys rather the girl make the first move or do they want to?
Girl here, but I read somewhere else that there was a poll someone did about this and it said that guys would much rather the girl made the first move so that they would know for a fact she was interested.
What is the best compliment you've ever revived, or a compliment you'd like to receive.
I never had a compliment from someone apart from my family and it makes me feel insecure

Load More Replies...I know boys aren't very good at taking hints **no offense im rly not either**, so what is a hint we can give you that you'd understand?
This is a hard one. I remember being teased often by girls pretending to like me only to make fun of me when I believed them. So trusting any type of hint has always been very difficult. Show genuine interest and propose dates or things to do together so that the guy understands that you really like him.
Why do guys brawl and fight so much? And why do you think it's acceptable to call us wh*res? I'm genuinely asking here.
Only assholes act like that. If a guy refers to women as whores or bitches, run fast run far. He is not worth your time.
Like, just pull yourself back to 11 and Chessie that motherf*cker.
Load More Replies...I think the kind of guys you are talking about are unconsciously responding to an animal instinct to make themselves appear strong. Think about bighorn sheep, deer, wolves, or goats trying to impress the females. Insulting women shows a weak-minded, misguided attempt to make themselves feel more manly, or to bully a woman into doing what he wants. I strongly suggest looking for the guys that don't do these things. If there is a guy you might like who acts the way you described, consider asking him why he's doing it. He might realize he doesn't have to.
So I'm actually a demiboy but let's ignore that fact for now because I'm female at school Why are they so horrible to me?
You didn't provide enough information, so I have no idea what age group you are in, what your personality is like, or what horrible things they do. I'll assume you are somewhere in the range of 13-16, probably the hardest years. As a first guess, I imagine they perceive you as 'different' and have no idea what to make of it. Kids that age are trying to convince themselves they are more grown-up than they really are, and one way to do that is to try to fit in to a group. If they fit in, they feel safer from ridicule. It's not until later that most people realize they don't have to fit into groups. The best advice I can give is to find something you are good at, so that others can be impressed. For example, can you play a guitar? Can you make really good paintings? That short-circuits the 'group' mentality.
How can I act more masculine? I'm trans dude who can't get T and top surgery because of DeSatan.
For some men, "masculine" means acting like a tough, or at least, a confident guy. It affects the way one walks and talks, and sometimes means trying not to look friendly or smile much. Some guys have had a rough time and have become truly nasty, selfish, brutes. For other men, "masculine" means being strong in a reliable, trustworthy way, (and confident) and there's nothing wrong with smiling or being friendly. For your purposes, I suggest trying to learn how to walk like a guy does, avoiding letting your hips sway as much, and try to look like you know what you are doing, even if you don't, just like some guys. There are more factors, like some (but definitely not all) guys often joke around with each other by hurling insults at each other. I don't recommend that unless you enjoy being insulted.
why are guys so mean to each other? the boys I know are constantly insulting and hitting their friends....don't look much like friendship
Those friendships probably aren't very deep (there are exceptions). They are likely acting that way to belong to the group. From my experience it's more of a regional thing. I have lived in eight different states in the US, and I saw that behavior the most in cities in the northeast. It gets tiring after awhile and is a minor reason I moved away.
That is the way a group of boys (starting in elementary school) establish a pecking order which adolescents must have to bond.
Which male stereotype do you hate the most?
ARE there guys who don't care about a woman's personality? And I don't mean this as an insult, but I swear I've seen relationships like that in real life a million times and would like it explained: If a woman is good-looking and sexy, I've seen perfectly sane and reasonable men ignore the fact that she's a greedy and a user, or a psychobitch, or delusional or paranoid, destroyer of worlds, etc. Can anyone explain what is going on in the mind of a man who's in a relationship with someone who is completely incapable of making him happy... except in one way?
Why do the majority of men on dating sites want a younger woman? I'm 46, but the profiles of so many men my age are looking for a woman at least 10 years younger.
These questions made me uncomfortable because I'm not the stereotypical male. I've always made people afraid because i look a certain way, but i could never be myself, not until early 30's and definitely not with the crowd I grew up with. I really identified with Ferdinand the Bull as a kid.
Don't have better answer than "'caus biology", sorry. Humans have been this way since time immemorial.
Not true. It is know nowadays that Palaeolithic humans (Stone Age) were very egalitarian, as they are most groups that still exist and live in a hunting gathering society. Our reduced sexual dimorphism (difference between sexes) shows that we were either monogamous or polygamous (when women and men mated with everybody without harems) and that females preferred males that were less big and aggressive (that’s why we reduced our sexual differences). It is proven that both Neanderthals and sapiens had very egalitarian lives, with both sexes eating the same and both being able to hunt, forage, be shamans, artisans etc.
