You can do nothing wrong and still be disliked by someone.

Or as Daddy Picard said: "You can do everything right and still lose. It is what it is."

Real quote:"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."

Don't put your dick in anything you don't want to wake up next to

Don't put off something you need to do because tomorrow their will always be something else.

You have to work out to be good at sex.

Buy a waterbed. One thrust, and the swells take care of the rest.

Not true, you just have to know how to move to keep the momentum good, stamina is more important than working out, also foreplay also does a lot

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Are you another dad overhearing my conversation with my offspring and interjecting with this observation?

Are you pantomiming when you say stamina?

What are your hand gestures when you stay foreplay?

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Do you think stamina and coordination grow on trees?

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

There's a difference between just working out and building stamina

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

There are many workout regimens. How do you build stamina without doing anything that would be considered working out? Jogging is working out.

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I think it's an important distinction to be made though

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

What distinction? No one mentioned strength training, they just said working out. You don't build stamina without working out. What distinction are you talking about?

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

When most people think working out, they think lifting weights, so I think the distinction of stamina training should be mentioned

Your problem is you're in love. You're too young to be in love. There's too many putas out there.

[-] bellesondes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

"Who farted? Seriously?"

[-] Syll@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Go to bed

[-] CaptainHowdy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Get a job.

This is a common saying, but I heard it from my Dad first:

Never cheap out on things that separate your backside from the ground.

He was specifically talking about tires and brakes on a car, but it's good advice all the way around.
