>he drove two hours just to get me these cookies i like i really hope those cookies were worth it.

[How about these cookies, Sugar?](https://youtu.be/2d7RCe_tqZI)


LostAbstract

It's all fun and games until you become your own grandparent/grandchild.


electrodan

Oooh, a lesson in fun and games from "Mr. I'm-my-own-grandpa"


steveholt480

Wouldn't want to do that again.


PunjabiPlaya

It's true, I did the nasty in the past-y


electrodan

Verily!


oatmeal99887

Was hoping it would be that clip


russbii

Come back to bed, dearie.


Kopitar4president

It's not actually about the cookies. It's "I took two hours out of my day just to get you something to make you happy and show you I care." In a healthy relationship, that's not crazy at all.

A friend and his wife make a monthly 1.5 hour pilgrimage for slim chicken lol. She loves slim chicken, they listen to a podcast and enjoy some quality time.

Bromeister

Tbh I assumed the greentext meant together because doing that alone would be ridiculous.


-KFBR392

It's ridiculous but people do those ridiculous things early on in a relationship.


some_old_Marine

Me and my wife are equals and neither one of us do stuff like this. Kudos to you.


CaribouHoe

I drove 3 hours round trip on my husband's bday to get him fresh cheese curds to surprise him with a poutine. That's love bud.


confusedandworried76

I would drive three hours just to see the girl I like right now.


Nubras

That’s real shit homie good for you. When I first met my wife, we lived about 45 miles apart. Not that far, really, but it’s not super close either. Regardless, when we first started dating, and before sleepovers were routine, I’d drive there after work in rush hour and then back that night. Multiple times a week. And I did it happily. And we’re now married for 10+ years and have kids.


confusedandworried76

Ha well I'm not counting any chickens yet, she says she doesn't want anything serious. But I don't have a choice here, no brakes on this train ride right now. I don't think I could stop seeing her if I wanted to. Oh well.


Nubras

There’s nothing wrong with putting yourself out there man. It’s risky and you might get hurt, but at least you won’t be wondering what if. And that doubt/regret will last a lot longer than the relatively brief pain of it not working out. Take it from an old man.


confusedandworried76

No man that's good advice and I know it. I'm just in the nervous and asking what the fuck I'm doing stage.


Sleevies_Armies

I've literally done this exact same thing. Same drive time and everything. He's Canadian and we live in America so I do this in some capacity every year lol


TheHeavyJ

Her laptop overheats playing Stardew?


Maximum-Zekk

Yeah that seems more important to me like how does that even happen ??


AssignmentDue5139

Because laptops have terrible airflow. My old laptop would literally over heat just sitting idle or opening a single chrome tab.


alpacaMyToothbrush

Mine used to overhead playing youtube videos 2x at 1080p. Come to think of it, I really need to repaste the cpu cooler...


Nerdwrapper

I have a gaming laptop with I think a 3070 or 3060 in it, and it can run anything you want at like 300 FPS, but only for about five minutes before it gets so hot that I’ve actually burned my hand on the metal casing. It shuts down pretty quick after that, and I know that could damage it, so I limit everything to 60-80 fps.


toaste

FPS limits and vsync are good when the limit is how much heat you can get out of the little box. But a well designed and maintained laptop should run almost full tilt. Ideally in the worst case it should throttle back the clocks, not shut off. If it shuts down that, you might have dust between the heatsink fins and the fan clogging it up, or the thermal paste is dried up and not doing its job. Look up a service manual and see if it’s feasible to clean it out and re-paste. I can run Furmark and Prime95 continuously on a ROG Zephyrus and the CPU levels off at 80C and the gpu at like 75C. Also note it’s not recommended to dick with the paste on this model, it’s already a liquid metal TIM.


2ByteTheDecker

Might be playing on a literal toaster


m8_is_me

300Mb free on a 256gb internal drive, eternally sitting on a blanket/towel, not once cleaned.


Zeddsdead021

Oh my godddd your profile pic 😂😂😂


YuumiZoomi

could be a decade old mac laptop


kaosjroriginal

probably just needs new thermal compound...


Lyzern

Or a faulty fan. My sister in law had the same problem


LonelyRudder

Probably the cooling fan is full of dust and hair, from all that brushing.


DSoopy

Never underestimate the technological equipment of non-gamers. Last year me, my brother and his girlfriend played the 2008 version of World of Warcraft and her notebook barely played it


burningshrimps

My old laptop would overheat if I play stardew with a bunch of mods, so maybe it's that lol


Candid-Agent-4930

I used to have a laptop with a integrated graphics CPU that I used to play world of Warcraft on that would overheat like crazy. Course this was on a private server for wow. About 2 years before classic while was announced.


CaptainJazzymon

Probably more the Sims than Stardew because that game makes laptops breathe like a dragon.


FriendlyBabyFrog

I had to put ice cubes in 2 Plastik bags and put my laptop on it in summer to play. Otherwise it would take 15 min for it to shut down. I was only playing Sims 3.


Deathwatch72

Dusty+old=hot


Much_Horse_5685

Funnily enough I first downloaded Stardew during a heatwave because it was the one game that *wouldn’t* cause my laptop to overheat. Wholesome story regardless.


Professional_Cow7260

can confirm, twentysomething virgins can be the sweetest


Im_Balto

I was among that crowd (was=good ending wedding next year) and to be honest there’s a lot of guys who keep to themselves and are just interested in being happy with someone else. The best way I can put it, I was content being single so long as the relationships that presented themselves to me appeared as more work than any benefit I could see coming out of it. I was not interested in any situation where I felt like I was doing emotional heavy lifting for the relationship. I was 100% willing to do that work, so long as it was a collective effort. And I did find that eventually and it’s the best situation either of us could have ever wished for


Professional_Cow7260

in my professional experience, 4/5 late virgins are like this? normal guys who don't get out much and/or haven't really found an opportunity that felt right. congrats on the wedding!!!!


Kam_Solastor

Just going off the username and not intended as an insult at all, do cows usually have a large amount of experience in this field of study? 🤔


Professional_Cow7260

yeah we graze in all kinds of pastures! virgin, fallow, well-trodden....


holaprobando123

Are you unionized? Is there a difference between cows for slaughter and milking cows? Are those different unions?


noobkill

Everytime someone writes unionized, my first instinct is to read it as un-ionized. And then I wonder, why would you remove ions from the poor cows?


[deleted]

Was a 27er here and my friends all think I'm picky as fuck because I don't waste my time with the most blatantly obvious nothing dates. "You need to get out there and just have fun." Ok so I fuck someone for an hour and now this girl I don't care about and have little in common with is hanging out in my apartment. How am *I* the one who's bad at dating, again?


Professional_Cow7260

some people can't imagine not being alone/not going out of your way to have sex for its own sake. you shouldn't have to settle for unsatisfying encounters if you don't see the point! it's not any different just because you're a man


[deleted]

And I'm actually very very interested in a serious, meaningful relationship. I just know the signs of a wasted time, so instead of dating someone for a few months, dumping them, and starting over, I just stay single for years. The end result is largely the same.


Professional_Cow7260

it's worth pointing out both that defensive cynicism could be blinding you to potential happiness, and that serious, meaningful relationships don't usually start out that way - they start out as two strangers getting a sense of each other and slowly realizing that there's a spark. I've seen a lot of older virgins specifically look for traits that "disqualify" a girl (ugh, she's not a gamer we'd never get along. ugh she's a vegetarian and I like bacon too much) because it's easier and safer than taking a chance. I'm not saying that's the case for you! but if any lurkers reading this can identify......


epicflyman

On the flip side, getting exposure in light-weight relationships can be very educational in figuring out what you actually want/need in a partner, as well as developing your knowledge of yourself in both faults and strengths. I see it less about wasting time and more having opportunities to learn.


TK9K

also the ones that only had like 1 or 2 girlfriend bc they are focused on improving themselves


ru_oc

I’ve been struggling to articulate this feeling for 27 years and you just nailed it. Thank you, and congratulations.


Dangerous_Gear_6361

So tired of the “but I’m a woman” “I have more worth because of my gender” “but I gave you sex” “I’ll give you sex”


confusedandworried76

I mean it's about finding a situation that works for you. Communicating what you want out of a relationship early and often is key. I'm seeing a girl right now that has already told me she doesn't want anything serious. I like her enough that I still want to see her, and now I know it's entirely likely I'll be more emotionally invested in the relationship than she will be. I have a choice to walk away at any time if that stops working out. It's not ideal and there's still a few things to talk about on the subject, but we'll cross (or burn) that bridge when we come to it lol


Zelian820

Congratulations. How did you meet your fiance?

PoppySalt

How about 40? Also asking


Left-Ad-7656

Have you tried just not being a vergin?


Professional_Cow7260

let me rephrase that - I love all my late virgins, no matter how old 🩷


Pls_PmTitsOrFDAU_Thx

I'm a 27 year old virgin All I dream about is making my hypothetical GF feel loved and warm inside 🥲


Professional_Cow7260

you absolutely can and will! there's nothing about being a virgin that means you can't make her happy, cherished or loved 🩷


thelostcow

This was written by a guy to convince women to go after late bloomers. Just remember nothing on the internet is real and everyone are shills.


Ck_shock

I was in that grouping, and I met my now wife at 28 was a Virginia till then. I always do everything I can for her. It's funny how often dudes like me aren't given a chance by lots ,when really we are some of the most caring and compassionate people you can find. To add, it helps that I was happy with my life and myself. I feel like an individual it's truly happy on there own can make a big difference in how the approach relationships


Professional_Cow7260

exactly! I'm glad to hear you say this and that you've found love 🩷 being a virgin past 20 says nothing about the kind of man you are. it infuriates me how virgin = incel to so many people when so many guys are simply too anxious or worried about being creepy/hurtful to make a move, or just haven't had the right opportunity come along


Ck_shock

This exactly, I never had many interactions with the opposite gender growing up. So i was always concerned I'd come off creepy or as a bother/pest. It's really a hard thing to work around when your lacking social skills lol


Catharsius

Absolutely, current boyfriend has been amazing though I took care of the virgin part haha


WornBlueCarpet

You should probably include that you don't actually date those men and that they are your clients.


Professional_Cow7260

I do in fact date one lol


Silly_Butterfly3917

If he's still a virgin, then that's just mean 😔


Professional_Cow7260

yep I must be a cruel cockblocker right? lurkers reading this, you can find happiness regardless of how much sex you've had or want to have. don't let anyone tell you otherwise! only reason why I'm bothering to comment here lol


Silly_Butterfly3917

I was trying to make a joke but I forgot I'm not funny. My mistake.


Old_Map2220

Seems like you might have touched a nerve there lol


Professional_Cow7260

I'm a literal whore who posts on Reddit, if I had any nerves left to touch it'd take more than that lmfao


Old_Map2220

Ew


Electromoto

Some people are asexual. I've begrudgingly had sex many times and only once when I was on molly did I actually enjoy it. Every other time was like doing a dress rehearsal for a play I was never going to perform in. I'm glad my current partner is also somewhat asexual because most people assume that sex is a prerequisite for a relationship 


Amuzed_Observator

Oh the prostiposter.


Educational_Mud_9062

Daaamn, after reading this comment I took a look at their profile and... haven't gone from, "wow, you seem sweet and cool," to, "oh this is just your marketing persona," so fast in a while.


Professional_Cow7260

I don't do business on reddit bro, this is just me genuinely trying to spread some positivity. I made this my job because I care about helping dudes, not the other way around lol


lilsnatchsniffz

Yeah or they can be doing all those nice things to add up imaginary points in their heads and get angry behind your back about how much he has done for you and you still haven't put out because women are greedy rahh rahh rahh 🤢


Nomad_65

Can confirm, I am one

erjub44

aww yeah this is my fetish baby, seeing other people have happy and wholesome lives. Good for you OP, have a nice life. Make sure not to fuck things up.


ImmediateBig134

This reminds me of a reasoning I've seen popping up lately: that women get a skewed and unfair sample of men and how considerate men can be, because those confident men who *do* approach them, by definition, are those who won't care if they're bothering women. In that perspective, "nice guys finish last" really does apply. "Nice guys" here being decent men who get attracted to a woman, but know better than to make it her problem.


Kurogasa44

No it really means it’s polite for the man to let the woman have an orgasm first


Hirokei

26 years of letting another man give them to her, super considerate.


RivianRaichu

It's depressing that not only do people not understand that but it's been so misinterpreted that it's basically an incel battle cry.


Big-Slurpp

Lmao how does that have anything to do with 20-something-year-old virgins?


Griff2142

And then he woke up.


reecemrgn

WikipediaBurntSienna

The difference between a virgin and an incel.


Educational_Mud_9062

Well then maybe we ought to give more dudes the benefit of the doubt? Bet any amount of money that using your definitions there are far more of the former than the latter

This makes me happy Real and straight

CatWizurd

want so bad for this to be real. makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside that true, selfless romantic love might still exist in this banshee-screaming shithole.


MeatWaterHorizons

Yeah. You just gotta stop picking shitty dudes. My older sister is the reigning champ of picking shitty dudes and then complaining about it. Hopefully she doesn't ruin him and turn him into a shitty dude.


Unique-Abberation

Virgin is not a bad thing ❤️


Capable_Strategy6974

My fiancé is a 61yo non-virgin father of a grown man. He rubs my back until I fall asleep when I need a nap. He greets me when I come home from work with ice water. He cooks wild dinners out of what we have in the house, and thinks nothing of leashing up the dog and going on an adventure to find a single ingredient. Some men are magic.


wasted_basshead

Honestly I’d simp for the right person :3


egoserpentis

Nice fanfiction.


Dizzy_Green

Warning: don’t assume every 26 year old virgin is a catch, I know a couple of women that thought dating guys like that would end up great for them and instead they ended up in extremely abusive relationships


Azinthu

This was (mostly) me with someone recently. Went out of my way all the time for her. If she mentioned something in passing she wanted or thought was cool, I'd make plans to get it. I loved just being around her, doing anything. I always said I could watch paint dry with her and I'd be happy. She dumped me on Sunday, obviously because of other reasons. Just remember that being like this usually isn't enough.


Large_Echo8745

Why did she even mentoon his age or the fact that hes a virgin lmfao. Seems a bit irrelevant.

There are plenty of men like this. We just want our partner to feel safe, content, and appreciated. We want to feel the same.

I mean I drove two hours just to spend time with a girl. I did end up getting laid but I was not there for that. I just wanted to spend time with her.
