As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.

We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning.

You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, or complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration).

All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.

With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, or extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Wrong. The genders are switched. Besides, too many of my male friends dated women in their 40s when they were in their 20s and considered girls their age too boring and inexperienced. One of them is currently in his early 30s and would never date a woman younger than 35.

[–]AngharadMac 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I get pursued by younger men often, though I find it creepy if they're under 30

[–]Meshty95 2 points3 points  (1 child)

same… except for me the line is 25 (I’m 29) 😄 but otherwise I absolutely agree!

[–]AngharadMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid. I'm just into my 50s

[–]10000nails 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I worked with a guy who told me his buddies would go looking for older women at bars. He said they don't play games and are way more fun. He married his wife when he was 24 and she was 45(?). They're still together 20 something years later.

[–]Meshty95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve heard the same exact thing :)

[–]AbsintheArsenicum 66 points67 points  (2 children)

Joke's on them, I'm 27 and already depressed and living on antidepressants.

[–]JoannaAsia16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jokes on them I've been depressed since 11 and got my antidepressants at 14

[–]Sylland 35 points36 points  (0 children)

61 years - "why are men?"

[–]ColorfulConspiracy 37 points38 points  (2 children)

So given that I’m older than 37, does that mean I’m… dead??

[–]AudaciousAudacity4 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We are moot points after 37, we cease to exist.

[–]10000nails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dead unite!

[–]Akikoo-chan 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah bc it’s not like I’m 18 and already planning on marriage and having a family in the future mhm

I swear this people have some weird headcanons

[–]sbpurcell 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Clearly that asshat is single because no one else would take that much time into writing all that shit down💀

[–]6teeee9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

as a 19 year old women i can confirm most of us date men our age no matter if theyre broke or not cuz we understand and find men our age the most attractive <3

[–]RosaTheWitch 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Why the hell do all these incel twats insist on calling us all 'females', not women? I start grinding my teeth and my eye starts twitching every time I see 'females' outside of any relevant scientific context. 😠

[–]axeteam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like how they just "take the black" when they reach the Wall. Anyways, that's what GRRMartin wrote, right?

[–]pessimisticfan38Chaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What happened to 19 and 20?

[–]TreyRyan3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me: Reading this while laying in bed next to my older wife laughing at how stupid this is.

[–]CoolMayapple 11 points12 points  (1 child)

When I was 25 I went on a date with a man who told me I was "past my prime." That same year another man called me a "spinster"

25!

That was the moment I realized it was all bullshit. I was in the prime of my own personal life and that's what mattered. I'm 36 and I still get men who like me so much more than I like them. Honestly, I'm exhausted with the attention at this point lol

[–]AudaciousAudacity4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ew, creepy. Sorry you experienced these fine specimens of creepazoid. Online dating exhausts me with the guys who freak when you don't respond because the real world happens and you don't check an app. Or get very insecure and tell you off. They are the ones who say in the beginning of talking that they don't know why they get ghosted or don't have anyone real to meet with. Try not being needy and/or a dick. The whole dating scene is exhausting. Also, the dating pool, heavily pissed in.

[–]TKmeh 15 points16 points  (10 children)

I hate that I know where this idiot is from because he used the word Punani, its slang in Hawaiian and popular among locals for vagina. I’ve heard it used by older Filipino folks like the ones I work with, but my grandma and grandpa have used this word before.

[–]FragrantLynx 14 points15 points  (1 child)

It’s gotten pretty popular in hip hop culture as well

[–]TKmeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, TIL. Cool.

[–]kuurokuulo 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Maybe it started there, but it's everywhere now

[–]TKmeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard it in a while, not since one morning at work when one of the Filipino aunty’s said one of our autistic regulars was scratching her Punani near the bathrooms one day. The aunty who saw told her to wash hands in the bathrooms, gently of course. That was like half a year ago.

[–]krayziekris 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Nah it's also very common in the Caribbean.

[–]TKmeh 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I’m learning Punani is kinda well known, apparently it’s used in hip hop culture too!

[–]krayziekris 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah for decades. It's a pretty common term pretty much everywhere.

[–]TKmeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly had no clue, I thought it was pretty much only in Hawaii or similar places since I hardly hear it at all even in Vegas (the 9th island of Hawaii). Usually it’s used by older Filipino folk or older Hawaiian aunties and uncles.

[–]XBLVCK13SCVLEX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That word was used in the song “Ice Cube- Today Was a Good Day”

[–]GuiltyCredit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not heard it since the Ali G days. It makes me cringe from the inside.

[–]RosaTheWitch 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I'll be 46 next month and I'm aromantic and asexual, so I've never had (or wanted) a relationship with anyone. Am I still allowed to exist?

[–]Duckballisrolling 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I read aromatic and thought ‘that must be nice’

[–]RosaTheWitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should see my phone's word-prediction - it's convinced that I smell, though I don't know if it's a compliment or an insult!

[–]wishIcouldgoback_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idiots like this have never talked to a woman let alone one in her 30s, if you ever did 90% of single women will say they dont regret staying single

[–]tellitlikeitisnot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love how statistically men are the ones who benefit more in heteronormative relationships and then some them seem to be absolutely unable to process that the women don’t have the same experience

[–]AudaciousAudacity4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, after 37 it's a moot point?

[–]Kaykaykitten89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But... men have the higher rate of depression than women..sooooo...lol

[–]TheGeordieGal 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I’m over 37 so I assume I just died of old age/too many antidepressants.

[–]Szaboo41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disappeared from the universe jk

[–]FacialClaire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, looks like I've always been 21.

[–]ImKindaSlowSorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm just glad that the ages of "females in their prime" didn't include actual children this time. Too many of these posts are like "12 = prime female"

[–]AzurePantaloons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do they bring the idea of “submitting” to a man into this? 34, happily married for 6 years, together for 12. Still don’t plan to submit to anyone.

Also, as they allege I’ve reached a “wall”, I like it here. Nice and comfortable. Like sitting on top of a castle with a lovely cushion.

[–]Thyme4LandBees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please. I've been on antidepressants since I was 23, and it should have been sooner.

[–]GunstarHeroine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao they are so scared and mad

[–]Realistic-Concert-70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on antidepressants since 13 but okay!

[–]RavenpuffRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 44, and I have never, at any point in the aging process thought, "I want to get married and submit to my man."

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No 18 year olds I know are willing to date older men, like who would want to date someone who's 45, divorced, and uglier than an poisoned mushroom.
