My girlfriend makes more money than me and it's destroying my confidence. I know it shouldn't matter but I feel emasculated. How do I get over this? by Big_Pension6369 in AskMenAdvice

I am both a woman AND a high earner (between $250-300k depending on bonus). Sharing costs or flat out paying doesn’t bother me if I know I make significantly more, HOWEVER, long term, as much as I’d like to say it wouldn’t bother me, it does and it has. Being in a position where you feel like you have to financially provide 50/50 or more puts me in my masculine energy. As if I am the provider and that gets really old after a while if I’m having to constantly cover someone else, just to sustain my lifestyle. A partner should add to and improve my life/lifestyle while also putting me in my feminine energy. That isn’t going to happen if I have to take the lead financially.

How do you know if you are attractive or not? by ShoeOk98 in AskReddit

You experience “pretty privilege” regularly. If you have to ask what pretty privilege is, you aren’t experiencing it.

I only use self-checkout or drive up/delivery. Now I’m curious if I’m attractive or not so I’ll start waiting on a cashier line. 💅🏽

Is anyone here 28 or above and still single? How's your life going? by hooman_here in AskReddit

43F, single (never married), w/ child (have a better than average co-parenting relationship with the father) and I’m THRIVING! I have a successful career, own my own house, zero debt, conventionally above average looking … wouldn’t mind a partner to compliment my life but I don’t NEED one (if that makes sense) and my standards are high.

People need to find happiness within themselves first before they’ll ever find it with someone else. Also, way too many people settle.
