I have no proof of course. I just said it sounds that way to me. The fact he's not a Chad is neither here nor there as she obviousy found him attractive enough to have a relationship with before.

It sounds to me like she was seeing her ex behind your back and that things have probably broken down with the ex again, so she's come crawling back to you. I'd be looking for a replacement model, but whether you want to pound her in the interim period is up to you. Personally, I find it a...

Wise words as ever from BeExcellent. But just to reinforce - be very careful gentlemen who you reveal your vulnerabilities and secrets to, in fact anything about your past. I know that sounds paranoid but, in my experience, things have a habit of getting exaggerated and twisted against you once...

Excellent post. Potential negative influences are everywhere and you need to be alert to them. Ultimately though, there's only so much you can say or do and if a woman is open to bad influences then that's what will happen. And, I agree, it all comes back to respect - and once you lose that...

She's like this five months in? Then unfortunately it's ony going to get worse, bro.

I think it varies a bit. They can emerge more slowly and amplify over time, especially if a woman becomes influenced by family, 'friends' or others who stir trouble and promote dissatisfaction. Women are often more easily influenced by outsiders and expectations change over time. Plus men are...

Why only 6 months if you're Black but a year otherwise?

This I agree with especially.

To be honest, I want to get away from any woman once I've bust a nut :cool:

Sorry, I'm not trying to be obtuse, but what is the moral of this story?

There's something in this, although the energy and motivation can also take a hit if and when things go wrong.

Very good thread on an important but overlooked topic, which is often the source of great tension between men and women. Men want - and, in my view, need - downtime but most women resent that and seem to want to load a guy up with jobs (meaningful or otherwise) as soon as they see a man 'doing...

I'd advise against even that to be honest, bro. More likely to make accusations against you or cause you other problems even if recreational use only. Best left alone, I reckon.

Thanks, Pierce. Great post, as ever :up:

Can you explain how to get a woman's dopamine to spike please, Pierce.

Not sure, but "How much can you bench?" seems to be regarded as the ultimate marker of strength.

Sounds like we're a very similar shape and, yes, I was good at pulling movements too - rows, chins, curls, etc. But benchpressing is just all wrong for me. I don't have that deep Herculean torso you need to be a big benchpresser. But then neither does the OP by the look of it.

I'm not as tall as you but I've got long arms, wide shoulders and a pretty shallow torso, so benchpressing was never my thing. Dumbell press suited me more than the barbell and, like you, I was good at overhead pressing. A lot of it's biomechanics they reckon.

Well, yeah, benchpress is perhaps the biggest ego lift. Personally, I was never a good benchpresser, I never had the right mechanics for it. I could squat and deadlift a bit, but frankly I was never that strong on one-off max lifts.

Yep. All good points well made - and you're right, you're not making 60 walking around at 430 lbs full of gear. Maybe not even 50.
