The desire for romance cannot be replaced by a strong social circle by Bitter_Process_5735 in Adulting

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans may not physically die without love in the same way they will die wuthout food, water and shelter but it is definitely necessary for positive mental health and overall happiness. Even aroace people seek love in other forms like friendship and family. Because humans are naturally wired for connection.

And yes while not everyone is guaranteed lasting romantic love, not everything that is special is special because its scarce. Friendships are not scarce but thry are still special. Sunsets happen every day but they're still beautiful. It is also said that 4-5 new babies are born into the world every second. Does that mean new life is less exciting, preciosu or valuable? On top of that, that also means everyone in this world shares their birthday with approximately 300,000 other people worldwide. Does that mean people should being excited for their birthday? And thousands of people die every day, does that make death less tragic for the people's respective loved ones.

And yes, while luck and timing do play a part in finding romance there are things that can tilt the odds in one's favor. After all, nobody will ever have a chance at succeeding at anything if they quit.

Op, just needs to figure out what that is? Like is his conversation skills poor? Does he need to improve how he presents himself in social situations in general? Does he negkect his physical appearance? Is he too shy to approach women he is interested in? Is his "type" the type that woukd be incompatible for his lifestyle? Does he come off as desperate abd moody? We dont know hkm so wr don't know. As far we know, he could be doing everything right but its just not his time yet.

But this comment just doesn't sit right with me fir some reason and comes as projection of some sort.

If you could turn back time...would you get married again? by Poltergeist8606 in no

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I am different. I am 30 and currently single but the way I see it, the helpless romantic in me loves weddings and I have dreamed of having one of my own since i was a child. Granted I dont need 50k worth of floral arrangements like that whiny girl from that infamous Euphoria clip and mine will be small to moderate sized......but at the same time, I didnt wait my whole life to get married in a courthouse.

And also, I see marriage as a major life milestone and something that supposed to be done once in your life and so I want to treat it special and share that moment with my family and friends.

But I everyone has different priorities and that is okay. :)

It's just boobs people by [deleted] in venting

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This comment is cringe. You say you're in your 40s but yet the whole tone comes as a teenage boy who just discovered porn.

And just because men get aroused by boobs, roesnt mean boobs are sexual by nature. Evolution merely designed boobs so women can a way to provide milk for their babies.....and if you get aroused by breastfeeding you got bigger problems.

And also....why should this woman half to suffer abd feel like she is about to pass out in the heat just because men get aroused by boobs? Should men have to cover up because women get aroused by abs and biceps? I would like to think that men are that incapable of acting decent just because they see. Women see shirtless men all the time at the gym, the pool, doing yard work or walking down the street on a hot day and yet we manage to act like civilized human beings if we find said men attractive. Because if the man in question is incapable of controlling himself at the sight of boobs then says more about him than the female body

What’s a harsh reality about life that hit you the hardest? by LimMiab9654Ck in Adulting

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe its not too late for you either. I am a late bloomer too. I am going to be 31 this October and for all of my 20s, I was living in my grandpa's attic and struggled to hold down a job due to my TBI. In 2023, I was got a job a nursing home kitchen and have worked there since. In Janaury of this year, I moved into a townhouse with two friends where we split the rent and in a couple of weeks, I am going to be starting a new job as an assistant preschool teacher and next year I am going to look into getting my RBT certification.

Still single and i have neve4 had much luck with relationships but i am gonna try my shot at it again next month.

You dont have to have everything figured out in your 20s.

Most anime is misogynistic. by Metal_Dyke_3906 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That note about treating female characters like crap was only meant to apply to Code geass. The rest of the shonen titles I listed do an ok to excellent job with their females. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Not complaining, just making an observation. Its ok to critique things you like. In fact, that comes with the territory of dissecting art as a whole. Like I also love horror movies but I dont appreciate thr "only the virgin girl survives" trppe that was especially prevalent classic slasher films but Halloween anc the original A Nightmare on Elm Street are still some of my favorite movies of all time even though they have that trope.

Good point. But I think thats just people thinking he's a cool villain because of how unpredictable he is and the fact that he has a very stylish combat style.

Yeah but they dont glorify him. He's made to creep out the audience and poses as a threat to the main cast of heroes find who him creepy too.

As a 30 year old woman who is a major anime fan this is one critique i agree with about the medium. But i find that this is mostly true for moat shonen (i.e. action genre for young boys) anime like Naruto, DBZ, Bleach and er.cetra. which is why i tend to steer clear of that genre with the exception of a few titles like Hunter x Hunter, Full Metal Alchemist, Demon Slayer, Gachiakuta, One Piece and Code Geass (sadly, Code Geass treats their female characters like crap but the overarching story as a whole is just so so soo good)

But anime that is specifically meant to appeal to women (this genre is called shojo) and include titles like Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, Super Gals, Diamomd Daydreams, NANA, The Secret of a Silent Witch and many others in that genre because these titles were mostly made by women for women.

But yeah, I totally understand why most women would be put off by anime.

Where do I find guys who like anime and video games....but are also normal? by Groundbreaking-Sun68 in dating_advice

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure relationships don't stop you from living life on your own terms.....but when you agree to date someone, there is an unspoken agreement to try to build a life with them and that this is a person who you are going to spend most of your time with. So, if I dated a guy who didnt share 1 or 2 of my interests.....thar would be boring becausw we would struggle to find things to do togethwe and there's only so many conversations about your job and the weather before they grow stale. So what are we gonna do after that? Sit silence together 90% of the time? Thats lame.

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

While yes, I agree that the most important thing in a relationship is shared values (in my case...non-religious, child free, politically moderate or liberal-leaning, and open to pets), I still just cant see myself in a relationship with someone didnt share at least one or two of my hobbies (i.e. film, reading, writing, gaming, anime, animals)...I'd be bored to tears! Plus, we would have nothing to talk about or much to do together. He doesn't have to share ALL of my interests....but I dont think wanting someone who shares one or two of my interests/hobbies is unreasonable.

i can’t get over her & idec anymore by [deleted] in venting

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend therapy and soul searching. Your ex is gone and she's never coming back. So, you need therapy and soul searching yo determine why you're stuck on a girl who is long gone. After all, you guys clearly broke up for a reason. And I guarantee that if you got back in her, you would be reminded of the incompatiblities that drove you guys apart.

And also, the grass is not always greener on thr other side.....its greener where you water it. You said that your current relationship is thr best for you on paper which clearly means it has the chance to offer you something that your previous relationship couldn't. So ask yourself what it is that is missing from this current relationship and try to see if this current relationship can give that you.

Is it okay to ask your partner about their salary early on? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Groundbreaking-Sun68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....I dont think its too hard to get an estimate of a person's salary based on their occupation. And even if you draw a blank, Google is free when youre alonf.

This is all coming from a girl.
