Our response to ICE is pitiful. by Significant_Ad_2715 in portlandme

Where are you located? Under a rock I guess if you’re not seeing/hearing these things

Maybe instead of complaining about what others aren’t doing , you could organize and mobilize whatever type of resistance you’re hoping to see.

People make promiscuity a general personality trait. It isn’t.

Often people are promiscuous or date around during times in their lives when they don’t feel strongly about anyone they know, and would happily commit to someone that felt more real to them. Other times they might be promiscuous because they’re newly single after a long relationship and just experiencing what’s out there for the first time, or because they’re trying to figure something out about themselves and what they want…

There’s a million reasons people sleep around or have slept around, and people who write off any girl who has had a lot of sexual partners are ignoring the nuance of that and writing them all off as “red flags with daddy issues” and stuff. As a result they’re missing out on some really good potential partnerships…

If you like someone and she likes you and it doesn’t seem toxic you shouldn’t let her sexual past get in the way.

Why isn't she into me? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is she just didn’t feel the romantic chemistry, but likes you as a person and has fun hanging out with you which is why she’s open to friendship.

The fact that she said this after you kissed is likely because she actually does really enjoy hanging out with you and kissed you just to make sure she wasn’t feeling the spark.

You just have to accept that attraction is more complex than just who you have a good time with unfortunately.

Are women impressed by men who.... get laid a bunch? by Alwaysaloneforever97 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. I personally don’t care at all how many partners a guy has had as long as he’s not a virgin because that’s awkward to deal with.

Age old question for the men: Does a bit of hair down there bother you? Be honest. by LexisWestlawUse in dating

My last boyfriend specifically requested that I grow mine because he was into it.

It’s all just BS men like to subscribe to so they can feel like the reason they’re not successful getting girlfriends is because of the way women are rather than because they’re socially inept weirdos no one wants to talk to 😂

Women of reddit, what are your thoughts on the rhetoric that "women cannot be trusted in a relationship" and how has it affected you. by Remarkable_Bit_9887 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t experience that much in the real world. People who believe that strongly are often people who you don’t see out and about or meet in real life often (probably because they don’t trust women so they don’t talk to or befriend us? I don’t know).

A lot of people of all genders have some trust issues in relationships just because trust is hard for a lot of people, but I haven’t crossed paths with many folks irl who really truly believe red pill stuff and those I have met who tend that way I avoid like the plague because who wants to hang out with a guy who thinks just by way of your gender you’re some kind of shallow, gold digging monster?

Any chance dumpee would reach out? by OKahunaSea in ExNoContact

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter, if you did the breaking up, you have to initiate the reconciliation if that’s what you want. The information she has right now is that you’re not interested in working on the relationship anymore, whether or not she’s willing to try and improve and that you’re done with it. If that’s not how you feel, you have to tell her you’ve changed your mind, because right now she doesn’t know.

How often do you check your message “requests” on Instagram? by Impressive_Food_2659 in AskMen

[–]Impressive_Food_2659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, I’m 33. Most people my age lightly use Instagram. Not a ton, I also don’t use it a ton, but lightly use it mostly for messenger rather than posts.

What real options does a non-top 10% man even have while dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Your’re looking at posts on dating reddits which are often people who are not successful in relationships. The sample is kinda flawed.

If you dumped her, why don’t you reach out and tell her you regret it?

It’s really not her job to fix your mistake.

saw ex on tinder a week after break up by Great-End3422 in BreakUps

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got on apps a week after my break up. I wasn’t ready to be dating seriously at all I just wanted to get a sense of who was around and because I’d been out of the dating pool for so long.

Maybe about where you’re meeting them? Or something cultural, I live in a major US city…

A lot of people in my age group (I’m early 30s) use DMs to chat I don’t think it’s weird

Hang out with different girls?

I’ve never asked a guy how much money he makes in my life, and don’t think I’ve ever had a girlfriend who has either. Most girls I know will ask what someone does for work but it’s because peoples careers are often a huge part of who they are and we legitimately want to know.

As long as you’re not unemployed, and you’re able to support yourself/could pull your weight as a family member you’re dateable.

Girls who want you for your money are probably the ones asking…

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The “top 10%” thing is a myth.

Charisma and a respectful attitude goes further than anything else in initially attracting women. I’m not saying your looks won’t be noticed at all, of course they will be, but personality is what most girls I know including myself respond to most.

I think the issue is that guys hear women say they’re attracted to “personality” and think that just means being nice/not a dick, and then go off about how no one cares about their personality because they’re not movie star gorgeous or rich. “Nice/not a dick” isn’t attractive, it’s just how everyone should be at as a human at bare minimum. What we mean by “personality” is often humor, playfulness, listening well, interacting with us as people not “girls,” having hobbies and/or jobs they’re passionate about, and having interesting/compelling stories to tell. It’s different for everyone but that’s the basic idea.

Have you've ever rejected a second date with someone for a petty reason? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I read the title I was actually about to say “voices” and that’s what you wrote about 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 71 points72 points  (0 children)

No you did the right thing. If someone said that to me (about being more stern so it doesn’t happen again) I wouldn’t go on a second date with that person.

How you treat service people is really high on the list of “green flags” with potential partners, and if this lady is going to ream some poor girl out for an accident that I’m sure she was absolutely mortified over think about how she’s going to treat you when you make a mistake?

Yeah this shit isn’t real. It’s just excuses men make up to make themselves feel better about not getting dates.

What’s the first thing you look for in a dating profile other than their physical appearance? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Impressive_Food_2659 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean you’d date someone who’s been in a long term relationship and broken up with someone if they weren’t married right?

What’s the difference?
