Oh silly Gavinrad, these were the days before dungeon finders. The good ole days.

Plus if you played a ranger in FFXI you farmed like a mother fucker to afford your class, or you bought gil. He was one of the latter.

I loved soloing as a Wizard in EQ. It helped that I had the largest mana pool on the server.

Soloing as a Protection Warrior in WoW was fun also. We became so stupidly uber when WotLK hit. We were pretty weak in classic, a bit better in BC, but crazy in WotLK. Good times.

I played the shit out of that game (700 days /played). I can confirm ranger was expensive. Had to take up woodworking to afford that shit. Spending multiple millions per levelling session was ridiculous, as other classes didn't have to spend anything beyond food and utsusemi powder (whatever the fuck it was called).

I played WHM in the beginning.. does that mean I'm gay? Or a girl? I switched to BLM and WAR later! And I was Taru! I might be gay. I think I have a vagina under my nutsack!

I know we've moved on my now, but I still had this reply open so whatever...

she has anxiety issues that came on after our second kid. She claims she has always had them but I never saw that, for years, and then all of the sudden she just can't deal with reality. She's taking meds now, a ton of them, which at least keep her from having panic attacks constantly. Two of the meds have decreased libido as a side effect. And we have young kids so obviously it isn't a porn shoot 24/7 at our house anyway. But this has been more than two years of this.

Thinking it through all I can think of is that I will wait until she has recovered from her surgery and just try talking to her again. It hasn't worked so far but maybe it will. I really don't want to go the counseling route.

I never understood "decreased libido". Is that code for not able to get an erection/lubricated or just not wanting to have sex?

Exactly. "biological clock" = urge to fuck.

It's just code for "dont feel like having sex"

I know it's a hard thing for a red blooded man to imagine, but it's a real thing.

At a certain level it's all just chemicals coursing through your blood, man.

There was a girl I dated for awhile that had anxiety issues/would have panic attacks. Shortly before us actually being together she used to rub one out every night, she said once she started taking anxiety meds that immediately stopped, she didn't have one o during the 2 months she was on it. She said it just felt like nothing was going on down there even if she tried. She eventually couldn't take it anymore so she stopped taking the meds and so she starting getting the panic attacks again, until she discovered the marvels of marijuana. Once she started smoking the panic attacks stopped and it didn't have the shitty side effect.

When I was on paxil(antidepressant/anxiety mEd) , I could get erections but pretty much couldn't get off unless I really tried and even then it took a while and yeah your sex drive does drop. Went from jerking it like once every other day to like once a week or two.

I skipped the last 2 pages since it seemed boring. Are we talking about gaming with our significant others now? I don't think I could date a girl who gamed. I feel like I would end up reverting back to my college EQ 18 hour a day self. That would be fucking terrible.

The MJ probably made it more sensitive in fact. I love having sex high. It's almost as good as anal. Anal while high? God I don't even wanna try it. I'll be ruined for life.

I have moderate anxiety and on higher doses of klonopin I actually had sex more (and better) with my wife because I didnt have performance anxiety or the fear of being shut down. But then again I also dont get whiskey dick either. Like total opposite....

Had a great time last night with my date. We are sushi then went to a couple local bars that had live music. Then I dropped her off at her place and we made out on her couch for awhile. She's spending the night at my place tonight and we're taking a day trip to the beach tomorrow.

This has been a nice pick me up post divorce.

Congrats man. It's great when people can find something good, even if temporary, right after a divorce.

It seems to happen at an unusually high rate here. Obviously the ones who have stories post them and the ones who don't, don't, so there's some selection going on...but is there something about the post-divorce male mindset that leads to these kinds of flings? Is it a completely beaten down, "don't give a shit" kind of mindset? Or the opposite, a man set free from prison who is ready to soak up life? Or maybe the Louis ck description, you're the man in the iron mask and you're just happy to be out (...and that's just what a certain type of woman wants at this particular portion of her life)? Something else..?

How would you divorced guys who have wasted no time finding a fling describe your mindset when this occurred? I'm curious if we can find a common theme.

I would say that the "doesn't give a shit" attitude is what does it. If you really don't care if a girl says yes or no, she's more likely to say yes. I don't know why that is, except women are stupid. I'm sure lindz could back me up on this one.

I was 28 when my first wife informed me of her affair. After about a month trying to figure shit out and then just said fuck it and fucked a 18/19 year old girl who had a thing for me that I used to work with. Much like Xarpolis said, I just didn't give a fuck and she was fun to hang out with. She was just going through some fucked up shit with her b/f too at the time and we kept each other company and just didn't care about whatever else.

It helped a lot plus she was smoking hot. We're still are friends and keep in touch, she's annoying as shit to be around for more then a few hours anymore.
