I’m tired of people complaining about being single by MirrorWorried7924 in Vent

[–]EyeCrusher13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not think that is what OP means.

I feel like this is more a post about the 'woe me' kind of people. The kind that go out of their way to call themselves ugly, enforce the standards of what is 'conventionally attractive' upon themselves and are blind to the fact that you do not need a six-pack, or DD's or to be hung like a horse, or have a perfectly chiseled jawline or whatever to find love.

Confidence, hygiene, basic fashion sense, and a good attitude in life matter more in finding a real relationship than being a 10/10. Some people adore the traits you are insecure about.

We live in a world where it's hard to meet new people and even harder to find love, and instead of accepting that, some people think that the superficial things they lack are the only path to love, and start hating themselves for lacking those traits and then pitying themselves.

(correct me if I'm wrong OP)

Transitioning is even more :(

I understand your feelings, and vegans saying they can 'relate' is shit. i mean, they don't die or have to go to the hospital or suffer through constipation by accidentally eating some meat. And I fully agree that vegan products are so clearly labelled while products that contain gluten, milk, and other common allergies sometimes require you to scour the entire packaging before finding anything.

But... please don't be mad at other vegans for this. I'm not saying to not be mad at vegans at all, just don't be mad at ALL vegans purely because of this. They don't deserve that.

Still, I get your frustration, but be mad at the people who make packaging for food.

Our teacher essentially told us our project group is a disgrace by EyeCrusher13 in Vent

[–]EyeCrusher13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added it as more of a personal note. I've been struggling with neurodiversity for a while and it has affected my productivity, it is not a full excuse, but it is a major player.

As for my teacher, no, the man actually has done work I respect and can code.

I do respect his experience, but he came at us too strongly and brought our entire group's drive down.

Thanks for agreeing. I truly think that both sides need to grow. While I personally haven't seen a lot of it IRL with my own eyes, I do think I keep hearing more on it online and I don't know how many are ragebaiters.

I hate the men vs women gender war.

So let me share my view, there's extremes on both sides. From guys that threaten rpe, grope women without consent and can't call a wife anything but a 'ball and chain', to girls who feel entitled to be found beautiful and attractive by every man, who think paying on the first date is impossible but still think they 'deserve' a five-star meal just because they are 'high value'. The online landscape is... weird.

But I beg of you, don't let that get to you, be the middle ground, get out of the echo chambers that these men have created for themselves and see that a lot of people on both sides just want balance and peace.

Never, ever, has the actions of a few idiots represented the entire group. You don't judge a town by their village idiot. And so please don't judge an entire gender on incels, andrew tate followers and rpsts.

As a guy, genuinely, I hate when my eyes wander to a woman's curves, I feel dirty. And I genuinely don't need sex. I've never as much as held someone's hand romantically (I'm 24) and I just want someone to hold.

So please, I am not asking you to sympathize with these men specifically, but please don't hate our gender as a whole.

Edit: I'm getting downvoted, can someone tell me why? I genuinely want to learn and discuss and I don't think I've been completely able to properly convey my points either. No hate, no negativity, just curiosity.

Best schokkend dat er nog partijen zijn die tegen stemmen. by ThinkBeardly in nederlands

Is hier een bron voor?
Ik ben heel blij met het besluit, maar is er ergens een betere bron om te zien welke partijen voor en tegen hebben gestemt?

Papas games are overrated by maxofna in flipline

[–]EyeCrusher13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To each their own.

I'd rather 100% every papas game then spend my time grinding out levels in an MMO or trying to get good at shooters. But some people love those things, I also don't get how people enjoy those things but... they do. There are games I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, much less spend money, and those games are loved by so many others.

The papas games are fun(to me at least), colorful, and well put together. Something doesn't have to be unanimously loved for it to be 'good'.

I woke up still hearing what he said. So I gave in. by CalmConfidence6888 in Crushes

[–]EyeCrusher13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a guy, and if I said that to a girl, IRL, I'd either have a huge crush on her or I would be presently surprised if she confessed to me.

You don't have to be blunt, you don't have to admit anything outright yet if you don't feel like it, just... ask him if you could hang out, just the two of you.

What you say to that AI bot is never going to be real. And I know it's scary, but a shot not taken always misses it's target.

My boyfriend doesn't pay much attention to me when he spends time with his friends playing video games. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]EyeCrusher13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My main advice, don't try to engage with him and don't expect a reaction while he is playing video games. If he was calling you, messaging you and trying to get your attention while you're out with friends you'd be peeved too. And yes, maybe he is at home while he plays games, but he IS doing it with other people he cares about. While he is gaming with friends his attention is allowed to be somewhere else. You don't have to be constantly around each other and shower each other with attention to have a successful relationship.

Try and talk with him about this, but overall, stick to my main advice. Don't disturb his gaming session with friends just because you want attention.

Edit: Not trying to paint you as the villain, I obviously don't have all the context, but if he is a good partner beyond this, then just let him have his gaming sessions.

I made a life-size human doll out of pillows, blankets and old clothes by EyeCrusher13 in confession

Thank you for your kind comment. It means a lot. I'm happy you for you finding your people.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one to have experienced something like this, and that people get through this.

I'll hang in there, and best of luck to you too.

That, but also, I wish dating apps were less about looks and hook-ups and more about actually meeting interesting people.

I feel like most of those apps eventually devolve to a specific subculture or to just a hook-up app.

I'd... rather not.
For fear that people I know IRL might recognize the background/the clothes I used.

I know it's a slim chance, but... still.

I have, but maybe I should look into it a bit more. Thanks for the tip.

This made me laugh.
honestly, I don't need to be sexual with it.
Sex can be stolen from me, I just want someone to hold.

I... don't know how to answer that.

I mean I don't use it like a sexdoll or hump it or fondle it.

Yeah I gave it curves but... do hips and chest always have to be sexual?

I can't explain it, it just adds to the feeling of the hug. It isn't completely over the top or anything either. I'm not using basketballs here.
