Poll of the Day
Poll not found
“I think my partner may be going down the red pill path.”
It is not anything massive yet, just small things, and I do not know if my gut feeling is off or if it is worth intervening.
He follows this weird “women’s red flags and cheating signs” page, as well as one influencer who duets women complaining about men. Instead of responding to what they are saying, the influencer just picks on their looks. It feels weird and mean spirited for no reason.
“Is it okay for your girlfriend to have dinner with another guy?”
Okay, so I’ve been dating this girl for about a year. She recently made a new group of friends that I have not met and it includes several guys. One of the guys in this group asked her if she would have dinner with him just as friends. He knows she’s dating me. They went out to dinner and split the bill. She said he didn’t hit on her.
I’m completely against the situation, I think it’s too easy to turn into a bad situation. If they had known each other for a long time i would feel differently. Am I being too jealous?
What Nobody Tells You About Moving to Sweden
There’s something uniquely unsettling about realizing a place can give you almost everything you thought you wanted while somehow making you feel less alive over time.
That’s the feeling I couldn’t shake after living in Sweden for years.
On paper, it looked perfect. Clean cities. Beautiful nature. Public transportation. Universal healthcare. Stability. The kind of country people speak about like it’s the final evolved form of civilization.

The Dumping Grounds
Caveman Approved Products of the Week
The gym accessory that makes lighter weights feel humbling again: Fat Gripz
These look simple because they are simple. They thicken the grip on dumbbells, barbells, and pull-up bars, which changes how hard basic movements feel almost immediately.
Good for grip strength, forearms, and making ordinary workouts feel slightly more demanding without adding extra weight.
How Do People Who Aren’t Tough Get By in Prison?
It all has to do with how you carry yourself.
Problems arise when people act hard and tough when they are not. The thing is that some one WILL ”check your nuts” if you portray yourself to be something you’re not. And if you’re running around with your chest out, that is just asking for trouble, especially if you ain’t tough.
“How tf am I in the friend zone with my fiancé???”
My fiancée and I have been together for three years, but lately the relationship feels more like a friendship than a romantic partnership. I’ve brought it up several times because something feels off emotionally and physically. We barely kiss, rarely have sex, and I’m almost always the one initiating affection. She loves hugging and caring for me in practical ways, but intimacy feels almost completely absent.
When I try to explain this, she tells me she loves me and says she wouldn’t treat her friends the way she treats me. But that misses the point for me. I know there are different kinds of love, and what I’m feeling from her no longer feels romantic or passionate. It feels safe and caring, but not intimate.
