Assume that you are both single in this situation and that you’re not attracted to him.

If a male friend asked you to hook up with him/be friends with benefits and you rejected him, how would you feel?Would you ever be able to trust him again and regain the level of friendship that you once had?

Would it make a difference if he accepted your answer gracefully and wanted to go back to being friends? Would you believe him if he promised to never ask again and that he wants to pretend this never happened?

I've seen a lot of posts from women saying that men who don't have female friends are a red flag because it's a sign of misogyny and that they only value women for potential romance/sex.

My question is: who counts as a female friend? Is a female friend a coworker a man is chatty with, or a member of a friend/hobby group they enjoy spending time with but don't hang out with outside of the group? Or does "female friend" refer exclusively to a woman that they regularly hang out with one on one? And if you know a man gets along well with women in group settings but for whatever reason doesn't hang out with them one on one, do you still view him as a red flag?

If I get a used but good condition 16 sheet shredder from Facebook Marketplace, how long can I expect it to last for if I'm shredding 2 or more cardboard boxes a week?

I feel like it would only be worth the investment if it lasts 5+ years, and ideally 10+ years.

For those that have shredders, how long has it lasted you for?

I have a golden retriever. I've tried using nail clippers but I always manage to nick at least one nail no matter how careful I am, so I bought a dremel to use instead. It seems to be safer in that I'm less likely to cut the quick, but it generates a lot of dust which I know isn't safe to breathe.

My dog gets distracted outside and it's too hot or too cold for much of the year to dremel outside. I can use a fan to blow dust away, but I can't blow dust out of the window when it's too cold or hot because it would let the ac/heat out if a window were left open long enough for a dremeling session.

My current idea is to take a couple chairs or other objects to hang a wet bed sheet over and then point the fan in that direction so all the dust is blown at the wet sheet. The wet sheet will capture the dust and then I can just throw it in the wash. Is this a good idea? Or is there another method that would work better?

I have a 5 year old golden who eats absolutely everything on walks and in the backyard, including poop, random plants, wrappers, discarded food, etc. Training hasn't worked.

I want to find a muzzle that will allow her to pant, drink, and sniff, but that blocks eating. Are there any options out there that would fit these criteria? It seems a lot of the muzzles online either restrict panting or are too long to allow sniffing.
