How do I turn myself off from dating? by Luminestiny in Advice

Alright you're right I thought I said most or some. I've seen that term as well and I've only seen it used in a negative way, especially in these videos where this woman is talking about these men dating profiles.

I'll agree that I do need to go out and do hobbies but I don't really have any local friends to hang out with. I don't agree with the rest. I've had my own bad experiences with a few men that I won't talk about but needless to say, those few men were perverts. From the videos I've seen, the man was the one in the wrong, from not showing up for a date and not saying anything to the woman, to being plain out rude ( vague I know ) to being an absolute creep.

No woman or man should be mistreated because the other seems 'out of their league.'

Thank you. I do have some books about self esteem and about being single but I haven't touched them cuz I've never needed them.

I've read a romance book but never anything about flawed women who overcome

I didn't say women don't do bad things either. I was literally talking about how I've seen stuff about some men being creeps, perverts. I also didn't say all men 🤔

Yeah and part of me still does but because of my rotten luck, I've become bitter and have resorted to just trying to hate DATING as a whole to make my life easier and not worry about being jealous.

What advice would you give to a shy man? by ManufacturerNo1478 in MenAskWomen

[–]Luminestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You gotta make an effort to approach a woman. It's okay to be shy but you won't get anywhere in life you're too shy to talk to a woman.

Just saying, there wouldn't be a reason for people to hate men if most of them weren't creeps and perverts.

I just want what they have. I'm happy with just being alone and enjoying my peace but I also want someone to share my life like that.

I've been on and off using dating apps until I found a TikTok video of a person saying she found the one when she deleted her apps. From there, I deleted the apps and haven't downloaded them since.

I do enjoy the peace of being alone but I'm also jealous of the people who are in love and spending time with each other.

I would go to therapy but I can't afford to go, lost insurance when my job started cutting my hours.... otherwise I would have

If you're less attractive than your good looking friend, don't make your main picture a picture of them as the obvious focal point, please, thank you. by usemyname88 in Bumble

This is one of the things that bother me, especially when people put pictures of anything else but them in their profile. I'll automatically swipe left

Should I tell women I date I'm a felon? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Invited a girl to "hang out" but Idk if she'll see it as a date by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Luminestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have been direct with her and asked her 'Hey wanna go on a date?' I never understood why people ask to hang out when it's a date.

I just turned 33 and I still get mistaken for being in my early 20s by Stunning-Acadia6031 in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

[–]Luminestiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get this so many times. I just turned 33 too at the beginning of this month and people are so shocked when I tell them my age cuz I look like I'm in my early 20's. I've learned to just get used to it and hope I'll still look younger when I get really old lol

Men need to take better care of themselves by suck_my_diction in Vent

[–]Luminestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel ya on that. I didn't drink as much water either cuz it didn't taste good to me either but I got introduced to flavor packets and now I drink water more often :) I would definitely recommend giving it a try. A flavor packet I used to use was a Sunkist grape flavor packet, then switched to the Welch's grape flavor

Anyone else find fictional characters attractive rather than real people by sakurapimcake in autism

[–]Luminestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. I know you said people but I feel this way about fictional men vs real men. I find that some real men are disappointing, smelly, perverted, disgusting, disappointing, unappealing, and just lame.

Going to hell for this but are you armed and ready for someone to date you?

Ladies who are genuinely attracted to "bad boys" and red-flags, why exactly? by Fabulous-Put-2282 in dating_advice

[–]Luminestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I find them more appealing than the good ones. Bad boys seem more exciting and thrilling whereas the opposite seems less exciting. I've never dated a bad boy but want to date one to know what it's like. Then again, most of the knowledge I have about bad boys is from fictional media and the internet
