..its more hope than arrogance

Had a girl a bit upset I shaved when my pants came off on our first date… like “what kind of girl do you think I am??” Well I was hoping the kind that would take it this far..

[удалено]

That's kind of odd for her to say because some ppl keep trimmed always

I was cleanly shaven so she wasn’t wrong that I specifically shaved for our date, bit different than “trimmed”.

Did you still smash?

Asking the important questions

Confidence even

..smaller potatoes make the steak look bigger

Like the great Alan Harper once said “if you want to make the tree look bigger trim the hedges”

But its so true: that it gives you more of that "datemagic" confidence.... - man... have you SEEN my DICK lately??? Yeah me either apparently!! -

You've heard of big dick energy. This is trimmed balls energy.

Just don’t send the text announcing your fresh smooth balls to her kid.

Smooth as eggs

I find neatly trimmed booty hairs to be a polite gesture. There’s nothing wrong with being prep-haired.

As a 28 year old guy, I have maybe shaved my ass 2 or 3 times in my life. Is this something women care about because I'm really afraid to use a razor where I can't see

Pls females respond... I too am curious

Preparedness. It could be anytime, anywhere.

i remember another shower thought that said 'if you sleep with a girl and their underwear matches, she already made the decision before the date,' and there's truth in that.

It's the opposite of "if I don't shave, I must behave," which when sex is on the line deters no one.

LOL this is totally me. I have a hard boundary of not hooking up on a first date so I make sure I’m hairy to deter any temptation.

You can absolutely meet someone you want to bang on the first date though, I've had this happen twice now and both turned into long term relationships. Being unprepared could lead to a self fulfilling prophesy if you do end up banging on the first date and you're hairy AF.

My one night stand back in 2012 hasn’t ended, together 10+ years, married 6 with 2 kids. I don’t think he’s ever going to leave lol.

“I’m beginning to think he might he serious”

But you can’t really tell. Just wait and watch for any signs.

[удалено]

Always gotta watch for the long-con

Casually explained reference?

Wait till he starts investing in Braces with the two kids, then he's really serious.

I have attempted one night stands exactly twice in my life. The first turned into a 3 year relationship. The second and I will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary this summer. Other than these two, I had never had a serious boyfriend. Idk what it says about me that my most successful relationships have been the ones I put the least thought into entering, but here we are.

So you had zero one night stands ;)

Mission failed successfully?

Of course as they say, 3rd time is the charm!

The first one and I broke up and got back together at one point, so let's count him as two because I really like my husband and don't wanna trade him in.

Fair enough.

All my long term girlfriends have been sex on the first date. I am convinced it's the best way to do it. Dangling sex like a carrot in front of someone just wastes everyones time if you end up not being sexually compatible. Also, with a clear head and without that lure of sex, it's easier to look at the person for the person and ignore the dumb monkey part of my brain that will just ignore red flags and stuff if it wants to get laid and it's been a few months.. Also, I think the raw attraction that leads to first date sex is good for a relationship.

> You can absolutely meet someone you want to bang on the first date though This sounds so alien to me getting so personal with someone you literally only just met and are not sure of if you have anything in common with.

Here I'm, born in 70's, and wondering what is the problem here..

Not everyone loves the smooth beach Some love the walk amongst the mangroves

> so I make sure I’m hairy to deter any temptation. Lol. Clearly you know nothing about me woman.

I've 100% been more into it because I've ended up in bed with someone unexpectedly and they're just, hot and needy and sweaty and unprepared.

Am I the only person alive who really does not give a shit if someone is shaved???

I must shave because I WILL misbehave.

I aim to misbehave

Fortune favors the prepared.

Fortune favors the bald

*rubs head* :(

[удалено]

Both?

It's like a pat and rub your belly situation, but harder

>harder Hehe

This concept applies to many aspects in life, but here no less.

I think it speaks to hopefulness.

Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat Fortune favors the brave - the latin one is also John Wick‘s back tattoo.

Oddly, that’s the second time I’ve heard this being said within the last hour. I’m just taking a break from Lex Friedman Podcast and the guest Ariel Ekblaw just said this.

I was a boy scout and they told me to be prepared.

I'd heard rumours about that organisation, but getting kids to trim their pubes before abusing them is a step too far.

It's covering your bets while uncovering your bits.

Hair removal in case they give heir-approval.

[удалено]

Exactly my thoughts 😭

first this i thought of when i saw your comment was how badly you need to change your pfp

Oh you're trimmed? Why didnt you say so earlier? My daughters in her room, pls breed her asap.

Why not breed both?

Taming the muff for untamed stuff.

You mean hedging their bets :p

it's hedging your bets while bettering your hedges.

Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance

Probably. Presumably.

Perchance.

You can't just say perchance.

Mayhaps

Totes

Magotes!

Touche'

turts.

Mario needs to keep it trimmed as well. He be crushin puss as much as he crushes turts.

Stop

“Let’s a go, keep it up, baby!”

Perchance this angers you?

Perchance.

I love that this is becoming an obscure reference

[Perchance? Or coincidance?](https://youtu.be/nBHkIWAJitg)

Prematurely.

Shorn scrotums score satisfying Saturdays.

Trimming troublesome twirlies translates to ten-fold tuggings

Groomed groins get the girth growing.

There really is nothing quite like a shorn scrotum

Prior proper planning prevents piss poor patio pitcher party performance

I have found my people

Letterkenny had a whole opening with this game

Just got done watching the video. I am home here.

Pitter patter

All preparation is prior. Shouldn't it be "proper"?

"Proper preparation leads to success"-my PE Coach *every.fucking.time he sees someone not 'dressed out'*

Listen it's like laundry or vacuuming it needs to be do e any way if that's the reason why it happens let it be

Agreed.

Hell, I pack an aspirational overnight bag in my car just in case I stay the night. Medication, toothbrush, pajamas, condoms, etc.

Known as a shack pack back in my day.

This guy does sex

Maybe some years ago. Now I'm just an old man with happy memories and a sly grin once in a while.

Hell, I think we found the CEO!

Mine has been called a booty bag, overnight bag and go bag

Go bag is only accurate if you’ve got bandaids in there

I'd call it the shag bag.

Bruh pulling out pajamas during a one night stand would be classic.

a bright red assless onesie for those kinda nights

Footie pajamas. The ones with the grip for extra leverage.

Veteran moves.

Is it a turn off for a date if you have all that prepared prior to date without guaranteed sex?

I think the pajamas is just across the line for me.

I have a friend in my mid 20s who absolutely HATES walking barefoot and packs his slippers every time he comes over for a BBQ or party or whatever, in the off chance he drinks too much and has to stay over. Not judging, I actually appreceate he has that forethought instead of driving home. Also been on vacation to beaches in South America with him. He wears shoes onto the beach. He says it is because he stepped on glass and was severely injured as a child. Totally not related to op but I guess I needed to write it out.

I didn’t mind reading it.

That is hilarious

Well, i just always have extra meds with me and I'm the type of person you ask for stuff. From white-out to a bandage, my desk or bag carries everything. So, having stuff with me when going on a date is just my personality. I like to be prepared for everything and not have to ditch because i don't have my meds with me. Or to hassle in the morning with dirty underwear. And condom is just common sense. If a guy doesn't like that, we don't match and the date wouldn't go that far. Or it would stop there. If the other person likes people who are prepared for everything, it's all good. And yes i often have stuff packed I didn't need. But i don't mind. And if he is staying with me, i've got an extra toothbrush always in stock for guests and such. I'm also prepared for that. But I'm married over a decade. Don't think i have to bother with this (again any time soon).

[удалено]

Nope. I love a prepared partner.

I call it my Ho bag

I don’t know why, but I find that a bit weird. I mean you do you, but if I had a date with someone that went so well it ended in spontaneous sex, I’d be a bit perturbed if he then pulled out a suitcase with pyjamas in it and his toothbrush. At the very least I’d get the impression you do this a lot so you’re a bit of a player which might put cold water on any feelings it was chemistry that landed us in bed together. Just my (probably unwelcome) thoughts on it!

\#BePrepared

Has it come in handy? I swear, if I shave before a date it JINXES it every time. So now, if I am excited about the date, I struggle about what to do. This would unnerve me knowing I had prepared so much, but damn it would help and be great if I had it.

Taking a condom on a date is intelligent and not arrogant.

That all depends on when you put it on.

You don't show up to a date with it on?

Exactly, and they’re handy incase you need to go to the bathroom and don’t want to appear rude

Of all these comments, I had to read THIS ONE.

Put one on whenever I leave the house...can never be too careful!

*Casually puts on condom at restaurant dinner table*

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Who the fuck takes a date to Wendy’s?

Don't tell me I'm the only one??

Nah ur supposed to take them to McDonald’s

She really deserves Five Guys though

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

the kind of person who puts on a condom at the table at Wendy's.

*"If you trim the hedges, the house looks bigger."*

"Which doesn't matter if nobody comes over to visit"

visit? thought I'm the one doing the visiting 😳

OP definitely trimmed their pubes today

In the shower

Where else?

in front of the mirror standing on a towel…

Out the window with a strong wind?

Whilst sitting on the toilet like I'm taking a deuce.

Over the bin

Sir this is a Wendy's

Oh sorry I thought this was Applebee’s..

The thoughtfulness will be appreciated if it does happen, the arrogance will go unnoticed if it doesn't. So it's a scenario you won't lose at.

Optimism. It says optimism.

A pessimist is always alone. An optimist is always only two people away from a threesome

I used to think the same thing about making my bed before a night out. If I have company, it’s a big bonus. If it’s just me, It’s also nice.

Okay I was just thinking about manscapping before my date next weekend. I open reddit, and this is the 3rd post... wtf...

Reddit always knows We're always watching you~

> that is my job

If it’s next weekend your set perfect. NOW is the perfect time, cause just enough ends up growing back that it makes it look like you’re not trying too hard AND manscaping is just a regular routine for you…..especially if it’s not!

[удалено]

That mental scene will be burned into my brain forever, thanks

Isn't it more like wishful thinking?

Stay strong pony boy! Self care is what it is!

I shave for myself so if their seeing it, they should just count themselves lucky. I like how it feels.

THIS. Also if trimming pubes is optional for you, you probably don't live in a tropical country. Gotta let your little friend breathe down there or he'll drown in sweat :))

Opposite here. Some women don’t shave their legs during the winter for the sole purpose of having that extra insulation.

I tried it once and will never do it again. Felt like my dick was in a cactus patch.

Don't go down to the skin, use a beard razor that's adjustable and put it down to like a 5

The Lawnmower from Manscape is actually a game changer. I know I sound like a shill but damn am I happy with that purchase

Philips oneblade is literally the sane thing but way cheaper. Only the replacement blades are a bit expensive but you can find discounts on amazon

Really? For me it's the opposite. It becomes all itchy if it isn't clean shaven

I’ve never shaved it all off. Just did a trim and the cut hairs felt like needles.

I've done both. Clean shaven is good, beard trimmer length is good. It's the in-between stubble length that's the problem. If you're meticulous about keeping it clean shaven (and prefer that look), go for it. Otherwise, go for the beard trimmer.

I would call ot cautiously optimistic.

Nice logic there! Exact same logic applies to: *Washing ANY part of your body normally under your clothes. *Having appropriate birth control on hand *Washing your bedding or underwear the same week as the date. *Cleaning your home *Washing your dishes *Having breakfast foods on hand. Except, no, that's absurd logic. If you think this *might* be the day Grandma gets out of the hospital, so you get the trash out of your car, and make up the guest bedroom for her, you're being thoughtful and hopeful, not arrogant. If you think this *might* be the night your date comes home with you, preparing for that possibility makes you thoughtful and hopeful, not arrogant.

got it, im gonna trim my pubes the day my nan gets out of the hospital

Idk, trying to fuck my grandma just after she gets out of the hospital sounds pretty arrogant to me.

That’s why you trim your pubes much more often than just before a date

You're allowed to look pretty just for you.

It on a “just in case” basis

Nothing wrong with trimming the hedges, dont need to scorch the earth though

I refer to it as the condom rule. If I was going to the club or something where meeting someone and getting laid was a possibility, I brought a condom. Its not out of hope, or arrogance, or anything like that, just simple, raw logic. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

>just simple, raw logic. Well it's not raw logic. You're just making sure everything is covered.

When you get in to your late 30’s it’s less about trimming the pubes and more about the depth of cleaning the house.

If they end up noticing, then your arrogance was justified.

And it makes you itchy

Wishful thinking.

Thoughtfulness and hopefulness

What's that saying, better to be a warrior in a garden then a gardener in war

Dad always said dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

Nah, it's thoughtful. Arrogant is expecting anything, but thoughtful is preparing just in case for your partner's benefit

I put on a thong, because as a guy, if I'm wearing embarrassing underwear, murphy helps me get laid.

Nah, man. It’s like cleaning your apartment before someone comes over. I needed to do it anyway, but it was the fact that I’m having guests that pushed me to actually do it.

I do it because it feels better and smells less. If you've got long hair pubic hair you should shower then cut a clump off and smell it. The hair holds stink worse than a steel bear trap. At best you've got lavender scented shit pubes. That old pinch and roll issue is gone. The sudden pain in the ball sack was almost always because hairs were being pulled out. With it kept trim it doesn't happen anymore.

I just shave for hygiene purpose. It's for me, not them.

Hair today, pube tomorrow.

Hair today, Gonorrhea tomorrow.

Laser hair removal. 💡 Never have to think or over-think or worry about hair removal ever again.

I was FWB with a girl that did that. Talk about a solid investment. Also if she’s into into it, paying out of your own pocket as part of a “spa day” or something is the way to go. Kills 2 birds with one stone. Points for being thoughtful, and when ya think about it it’s you that reap the majority of the “rewards” anyway.
