Great, thanks
That has never been the case the entire time I’ve noticed any of your posts on this site. Not once. You’re never clear. I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure you understand what that word means.

My wife likes to drink beer and watch Hockey with me. She’s also a cool person and a good mom. After 15 years of marriage I feel pretty settled in. Granted, I had to slay some serious pigs to get to the princess. It hasn’t been perfect, but I could easily do another 15 years happily. She’s always been more like one of my buddies than a nagging ass wife. Maybe that’s what people need. a significant other that’s more like a friend, and less like Mom. A lot of wives turn into the second mommy. That shit kills a marriage. I feel terrible for dudes stuck in those marriages. I’ve learned that compromise is everything.
- I also like her to have a tad more ass and hips. So no exercise bike for her. Could be the Italian in me but I need some handlebars.

That peloton commercial is a load of shit. If you’re singing along to Fugees how hard could you really be working?
I can’t speak to singing along to Fugees but I can’t understand paying an ass load of cash to have your electronics yell at you. The Peloton mirror is just downright horrifying.

I doubt most people are genuinely outraged at the Peloton ad. The first thing I thought of when viewing it was that episode of Black Mirror. The second thing I thought of was how much potential for parody it has.
But it’s interesting how the sensitive snowflakes who were outraged by the ad brings out the sensitive snowflakes who get outraged at the outrage.

@ouroboro_s I had to delete my previous post; @flappinit said it much more succinctly

Here’s an example. Wipe away those little snowflake tears and do the following:
Turn the sound off for the commercial video, press “play” for the music video, then start the commercial video.

Love this last part as I am an ass man myself. Gotta have hips.
But I’d really love to talk to you about your first point there. I’ve heard this before, this idea that your significant other should be more like your best friend. How true is this though? I’ve always been skeptical about that stance.
I can’t wrap my head around how you can still be attracted to, or sexually desire someone that is like a “best friend”. Dunno, to me that seems like the fire would go out quick. I don’t really want to look at my significant other like a best friend, because with a best friend I can say whatever I want to that person, and in my years of experience (failed many times at this) if you don’t hold hour tongue with a female you’re ruined.
I"ve dated ‘friends’ before, good friends, but those never worked out. I have made that choice many times over, where I chose the girl I was closer to as a friend, than the one I lusted over, or that i viewed as a super attractive female I had to go far and beyond to please. Every time I feel like I should have chosen the one I desired over vs the one that seems so seamless to be around because we were ‘great friends’ .
this. And I feel there are many more secondary snowflakes than primary snowflakes.
I didn’t initially hear about people being outraged about the ad. The first opinion I heard on this was the reporting of said outrage by people who were outraged by the outrage.

Why? Why have you been skeptical? Incomplete thought here.
That’s because you seemingly have unreasonable and immature expectations of what a relationship “ought” to be. You seem to think a person ought to fit into some preconceived role that’s been imprinted in your tiny pea-brain. As if everyone else is some flat character in your narrative and you’re the only one who can be anything greater than some role. People aren’t flat characters in a story homie.
Probably because you talk to people as if they’re caricatures you’ve developed over the years of what they ought to be. You don’t seem to be able to accept people as fully fleshed out human beings…you talk about how you think this type of relationship ought to work and it never does (by your own admission).
For real, I really think you have a tough time actually accepting what is real vs what is imaginary.
There it is. Lust. You’re still a fuckin’ teenager bruh. You claim to be in your 30s but seem to be still operating at a very immature level. Again, people, men or women, aren’t meant to fit nicely into any little package or idea you have in your head. They’re real people, not some flat character in a shitty novel.
For real, go talk to a therapist.

I’m only going to reply to your last part of a very long condescending post.
From my experience all dudes end up cracking at one point or another. In the end of the day most guys just want to stick their dick into a fine attractive woman. A long the way you “mature” because the world makes you, because finances, because it is easier to get by in this life with help from another individual.
Unchained from financial burdens all men go back to chasing pussy. I know, I know, sounds immature, but hey I’ve worked in entire rooms of 20-60 year old men. High earners, powerful dudes. They’re all the same. They all chase the same thing.
Don’t know if this is true or not, buuuuuut, the machine is built shitty. They tried to go into commercial gyms with the same materials and engineering as a home bike, which led to A LOT of broken bikes in gyms. That combined with their 3 year warranty meant a lot of money was lost just off service calls, ordering replacement parts, and paying their repair people to go to gyms almost weekly to fix bikes. The commercial didn’t really hurt it as much as poor planning and going cheap on materials. I run a gym and we experienced this, along with every gym in under our belt.
I haven’t been on one, nor do I ever plan on getting one. I see people posting pics on their bikes, inside a house, looking out the window into a beautiful backdrop and I can’t help but think WHY AREN"T YOU BIKING OUTSIDE.
The whole concept is stupid to me, but I can understand the appeal for some people. I didn’t know their parts were shitty though…
yes, it is true. They lost a billion in valuation from the bad press, but apparently it has bounced back.
Can’t speak for everyone, but my wife sometimes uses the exercise bike I got her a couple years ago.
Fwiw, the current outdoor temp here is 40, and last year we hit lows of -35.
Edit: I’m now wondering why I lift weights in my garage. I could easily lift weights in my driveway.
Stocks almost always bounce back from internet generated outrage that doesn’t exist in the real world
Edit2: shoulda fact checked this number. Lost a billion. LOL
It wasn’t a billion? That’s what various articles were reporting.
It appears that the negative reaction to the ad has also had financial repercussions for Peloton. Business Insider [reports] that this week, Peloton’s stock plunged 15 percent in three days, which represents about a $1.5 billion loss in the company’s market value.
