How was Christmas, if you're celebrating? Any plans for New Year's Eve? Any major achievements this year that you want to share? Resolutions for 2025?

Hello everyone,

Happy Monday!

I'm a man in my 40's, moved to a new area and trying to make friends. A guy I've had lunch with a couple of times and we've connected pretty well. I'm not getting disinterested vibes when we're actually at lunch. However, I've invited him to lunch 3 times recently, once each month, and he's not responded. He's responded to other texts. "Hey, I'm going to event XYZ, any advice" and he'd reply. I've run into him at the grocery store twice in that time period and he's been genial. He's never offered/initiated lunch or anything, but that's not new. (No one ever asks me to do things, I'm The Organizer.) I'm getting really, really mixed signals.

Since it's been kind of weekly since 8+ weeks... Maybe start this thread again?

How often do you shave? How long does it take you? How do you do it?

I recently had my prostate examined, and the doctor told me that it was enlarged, but at this point not enough to need to do something about it (They told me that it was approximately double the normal size!)

The community is pretty quiet so far, so I wanted to see if people wanted some regular topics

Have you had a confrontation with a stranger before in person? Whether it was a argument, fight, scream match, etc? Do you regret it? What happened?

Would it be making the time for vacations or gatherings? Or if your job requires overtime, you lose out on the time with your family. Do you ever speak up about it or just let things even out?

For context, I got mine done just over two years ago. No complications (as of yet...). I've also got two kids already.

Basically, title.

So I've got a friend at work; just turned thirty. He's perhaps not the smartest tool in the shed, and whilst he does look thirty, I think if we were guessing his age by his level of maturity, we'd place him fairly squarely in the 18-22 age range.

I've never been much of a cook, but it's something I'd love to try and get better at. I've got a growing family and as much as freezer food is serving them now, when they're older I'd like to be able to cook them something genuinely nice.

Looking for some hidden gems

Sorry for the weird phrasing, English isn't my first language.

I guess the answers are going to vary a lot depending on people's familial situations, but curious to see the answers.

Asking as I see more and more people talking about mental health issues, and curious to see if people could share their experiences.

Curious to see if people have experiences to share.

I've been in a relationship for a bit more than a year, everything doing quite well so far, looking forward to advice to how to make it last.

One of the downvoted posts in this sub showed up in my feed so I figured I'd pop over and ask y'all a silly question.

I don’t binge eat, I exercise 3 times a week, or as much as my schedule permits having a 2yold, work, partner and social commitments. I don’t drink. Still I get belly fat now that I am 35+. Wtf? Haas anyone solved this? Did you change diet? Sleep more? Exercise differently? Lower carbs? By how much? Please help me lemmee
