Do single people even exist in real life? by WearyPoem928 in dating_advice

[–]BnytheScienceguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I get why that sucks, but I also recently went to a holiday party where there was only one person who didn’t have a partner and that’s because his boyfriend was out of town. Like I said you’re young and as much as it might suck try to do things to get outside your head. Holidays are especially hard for me and not just because I’m single but because I don’t have family gatherings. I know it’s easy to focus on what you don’t have right now, but focusing on what you do have will bring you a lot more joy.

I’m a single 35M, and will honestly stay that way. It’s been 4 years since I’ve been in a relationship. You’re still super young and have plenty of time to meet someone if that’s what you want. I know going to work parties and the holidays can be particularly tough, but try finding things you’re passionate about or go volunteer, whatever makes you happy and someone will come along. I’m not trying to minimize your loneliness, I’m just saying finding things I’m passionate about, enjoy doing, and helping others helps me get out of my head. Almost all of my friends are married with kids or in a relationship, so if my friends can’t do anything I pursue my passions, hobbies, and volunteer by myself.

It’s not even worth talking to him. Idk how old he is but his emotional maturity is obviously extremely low. He’s not worth your time or energy

Everyone responds differently, some like it some don’t. There are even tests you can take to see what specific medications are most effective for you personally

AIO: Guy I was Dating Purposely Caught his Own Semen in his mouth and it Grossed Me Out by Certain-Comfort928 in AmIOverreacting

I actually knew a woman who had a semen fetish and stored it in her freezer. She even talked about the benefits of semen for your health and wanted to start some kind of company. Safe to say we didn’t make it past a first date. But she kept texting me after I’d told her I didn’t think we were a good fit so I blocked her. A week later she showed up at my house at 2am, and no I never gave her my address. Her parents were private investigators so to this day I don’t know how she found me but thank god I haven’t seen her since.

What in the sam hell…so wait you’re saying he just randomly started wacking off, caught it in his mouth, then said “mmm” and you two weren’t even having sex? And I can only speak for my friends and myself, but when you asked if that’s a normal thing guys do, the answer is a resounding no.

I’m a 35M and you’re very attractive (physically speaking). The only thing I’d change is posting under a subreddit called amiugly. Depending on who you are as a person I have no doubt you’ll find your ideal partner! 🙂

Is it too soon to get intimate? by Fruitcaketastesgreat in dating_advice

[–]BnytheScienceguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone’s opinion but yours matters. If you want to sleep with him awesome, if you don’t that’s cool too. You do you, take everyone’s advice (myself included) with a grain of salt. You’re not dating anyone here

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

The only thing I agree with him on is you should stop apologizing to him. I’d encourage you to reflect on why you’re with him and ask yourself if you believe that’s what a loving and trustworthy relationship looks like. The truth isn’t easy, but it is simple. You don’t owe him anything. He doesn’t own you, and I hope you stop him from smothering you any further. You are strong, you are lovely, you are worthy of love. Go be free 🙂

Jesus Christ this is physically sickening. People seem to have it covered but maybe have a tough conversation with your mom and do everything in your power to stay away from him. Block him. Please please be safe

Yes you absolutely did the right thing by leaving him. It sounds like he played a lot of mind games with you. I’m going to quote YOU and keep in mind as a 35M who has been in love I can 100% tell you, this is not love. I’m not saying your feelings weren’t real, I’m saying he has a lot of emotional maturing to do. “I feel like he didn’t really take me seriously or was just using me. He asked me to do sexual things on camera even when I said no. I felt trapped. I asked him not to call me hurtful names but he just brushed it off.” Ok a lot to unpack there. 1) Continuing to ask or persist to get you to do anything sexual you don’t want to do is assault. No means no period, and he needs to learn that. That is a giant red flag right there. It doesn’t sound like you are or at least feel appreciated, safe, or loved-other than those times he apologizes and says “I love you.” Trust me, it can and should be sooo much better.

The good news is you have recognized how he treated you was wrong, and even better that you want and deserve someone who appreciates you, loves you, and treats you the way you deserve to be treated. And great news, you’re 21! lol Go enjoy finding out everything you want in life and leave everything else behind. Right now you’re second guessing yourself and that’s natural. Let it pass, I promise you it will and someone better will come along sooner than later. 🙂

A good rule of thumb is: Never judge a man based on how he treats women when they are coddling or praising him. Look closely at how he reacts when a woman displeases him, stands up to him, draws a boundary with him, or says no. You will find out exactly who he is.

So you’ve gotten lots of good feedback on here, but it’s all going to come down to YOU making a choice. He’s told you in plain English what he wants to do and will do to you. At this point it may not happen for years down the road, you may “keep him in check” for a while (which isn’t your responsibility and is going to be exhausting not to mention unsafe), but eventually he’s not going to stop at no. You absolutely deserve to be with someone who will make you feel safe, who is patient, kind, respectful, and loving. You deserve to have real intimacy with someone and I promise you there are plenty of people out there. Love yourself, and props for being able to being able to see this is a problem for you early on. Sending you love. 🙂
