Same, I’ve easily had phones last for 4-5 years. My husband and I both keep them til there’s something annoying enough to warrant an upgrade, be that lacking capabilities or wear-and-tear damage.

The kid then gets the option to upgrade her current hand-me-down phone with whatever we just replaced. I replaced this phone a year or two ago, I don’t expect to replace it for quite a while.

Absolutely no reason to upgrade a phone every year. I highly recommend getting the phone protected with a good case and possibly a screen protector to anyone who doesn’t do this already.

Damn, poor Kevin. It doesn’t sound like he deserves this 🙁

Fuck Aunt Sheryl… But I wish Kevin could have been spared.

Definitely, and we know that not everyone is suited to every task. Some women will be wanting to hunt just for the fun/athleticism, and I’m sure there were dudes who didn’t care for hunting, as well. No point wasting people’s best efforts on something they aren’t suited to.

Hell it wouldn’t shock me if people traded roles around day to day based on boredom, needing to stretch ones legs, and needing more restful days, wanting to hang out with your other friends while you work, etc.

That’s so crazy to me, I’ve always heard women saying that level of muscle doesn’t do much for them, with the assumption being super buff dudes must just be a male power fantasy…

But you’re saying that it’s not even a male power fantasy? You feel nothing? You wouldn’t feel like Thor was puny if he was only average gym bro levels of muscled? I know you don’t speak for all straight dudes, lol. It just suddenly seems like these poor dudes are putting themselves through hell for absolutely no reason. That’s both encouraging (Heyy, maybe we can stop that nonsense!) And depressing (that it’s been happening for no reason at all)

It does look powerful though. He looks super strong and has an incredibly hot women who is into him, many guys want to live that fantasy.

Do you think Natalie Portman was ogling him because she thought he looked hot and the camera happened to catch her staring or do you think it was written into the script?

I simply don’t see women clamoring for men to go to these extremes. I’m not saying doesn’t happen, I just don’t think it’s very often. And it’d be super cool if the men on this thread would take comments from women about our own experiences at face value and not assume we’re what? Being coy about what we actually find attractive?

Do you find that the men in romantic movies and chickflicks have body types as unobtainable as the dudes in superhero movies? Like, yes they’re fit, but they don’t tend to have bulging muscles because women don’t tend to be into that.

There’s a difference between a movie with attractive people in it, and a movie with someone who had to dedicate themselves to their fitness for months and still had to do things like dehydrate themselves for the day of the shoot to achieve a sculpted look. They’re worlds away in terms of effort to achieve the desired effect. And women do not tend to be into the “dehydrate yourself to look more cut” look.

The point isnt that men aren’t given unrealistic body goals, they definitely ARE, but the push isn’t coming from women, generally.

I’m a woman, I have had many girls nights out with sex positive women… And yet no drooling over sexy superheros (or any other dudes)

I haven’t had a conversation like that since I was a teenager, many many years ago. (And even then it wasn’t hulked out guys we were giggling over, it was Nsync. Fully clothed.)

They have to be referring to “Parks and Rec” Chris Pratt, right? Cuz he definitely used to have a dad bod, but he does not anymore.

Read the title

(I also skipped the title and was confused for a minute)

You straight up made my face scrunch up in disgust with that thought. So… Good job, I guess. 🤢
