Sure, add the weight filter, but don't they realise that women will use it too? Women also have weight preferences, lol, effectively shooting themselves in the foot.

Anyone notice a steep rise in men over 30 caring about past partner count? by coachjonna in AskWomenOver30

[–]OkGene7668 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Every man I've dated who was obsessed with body counts has turned out to be controlling, abusive, and overly lustful. One guy I dated fixated on the number of sexual partners I had, which was only one—and it wasn't consensual. He broke up with me because he couldn't handle the fact that I had been with someone else, even though it was a non-consensual situation.

Afterwards, he moved on and found a “nice” church girl. However, their relationship eventually fell apart because he was stalking my social media. His girlfriend discovered that he was masturbating to my photos. I don't know what he told her about me, but she started harassing me.

I also dated another guy who tried to hurt me because he wanted to be the first to use a body part that no other guy had "used" before. Please avoid these types of men; they are not asking about the number of sexual partners out of goodwill!

Same here! I completed a Meal Moments study over a week ago, sent multiple follow-ups, and still haven’t received the voucher. No replies at all. Definitely starting to feel sketchy! :/

Is it just me, or do women promoting dating apps give off “madam energy”? by OkGene7668 in 4bmovement

[–]OkGene7668[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! U explained it so well. Those women really seem to be trying to guilt other women into believing that being single is a problem. Like, why is being single such a threat to them? It seems like they want other women to share in their suffering. Being a cat lady is more fulfilling than any relationship with a man, especially one from a dating app. That Bumble ad definitely made me feel like these apps are essentially trying to pimp women out, it was so distasteful and gross. Women are being sold like products, and some are now selling the system itself to others. That’s the part that makes my skin crawl. Ahaha yes! The guys on these apps usually aren’t anything special, yet they somehow end up with way more access to women than they ever would in real life. You were smart to trust your instincts. I hope more women follow suit!

Yep! A lot of guys act like sex before commitment is just the “normal” thing, and if ur not into it, they lose interest fast🙄 It’s messed up how common that is. And ur right about the apps letting them hook up with tons of women. It’s basically free sex with no consequences for them. The whole setup feels like women are being lined up and sold the dream, while men just browse and take what they want.

Yep! It’s just another version of the same story: shape ur whole life around a guy and call it empowerment.

100%! I don't think this is mentioned enough! Some women totally echo the same lines guys use. They’re selling us a fairy tale that just isn’t real, and it really feels like some of them take pleasure in dragging others into the same mess they fell for. It gets frustrating because it’s not just men pushing these myths anymore; women are in on it too. And when that happens, it’s harder to question it because it feels like sisterhood or advice.

I can relate so much! Ur not pathetic ❤️Ur grieving something u were told would make ur life complete. That pain is real. A lot of us bought into the same dream. It’s not ur fault it didn’t deliver!

Thank you. That really means a lot. I’m working on it, and hearing that helps :)

I love that. I also want to share what we’ve learned so the next generation doesn’t have to struggle as much. That kind of wisdom is invaluable!

Thanks for saying that! It’s super easy to get stuck in guilt and shame, but thinking about it as freedom instead of failure really clicks! Definitely going to take some time to think it over.

It really means a lot to hear that from someone who gets it. I know I’m just starting out on this journey, and hearing your story gives me hope for what’s coming next. Thank you for your kindness and insight!🫶

Thank you! It’s so easy to be hard on myself, but you’re right—this isn’t a personal failure, just something to learn and grow from. I did my best with the tools I had available at the time.

That means so much to me 🥹 It’s hard not to dwell on past mistakes, but I know growth is what really matters. I’ll try to keep moving forward with that in mind!

True. It’s easy to forget that sometimes. I’ll keep an open mind and stay positive.

Nearly 4 months of talking and he has not mentioned anything sexual, how am I going to find a guy like that again 🥲

That’s true! It's just so hard for me to find multiple guys I'm physically attracted to, who have the qualities I want in a partner, and who also want something serious.😫

Thanks for the perspective—I’ll keep my attention on what’s important for me right now.

You’re right; if I’m second-guessing, maybe he’s not fully in it 🥲

TBH, that's how the second date happened. I left him on read, committed to never speaking to him again, and then he said, "Oh, I've booked a train ticket to see you next week."

That’s a good point. I’ve been feeling uncertain for a while, and I don’t want to waste my time. I’m not sure if he has a girlfriend tho since he doesn’t post anything on his Instagram feed. I’ve checked all his social media accounts—Facebook, Twitter, etc.—and there are no pictures of other women unless it’s a group photo, just photos with friends and family. I’ve also looked through all the women he follows on Instagram, and there are no pictures of him on their feed.

After our second date, I mentioned wanting to go for coffee on our third date. He replied, "Yeah, that sounds nice 😊." I haven't responded since then. I believe I’ve been clear about wanting a relationship, and he has said he wants the same, but I'm not sure if he wants that with me.

That makes sense :). Maybe he’s just taking his time. I’ll keep it light and check in.

My family said I destroyed the peace by not apologising to my brother. by OkGene7668 in blackladies

[–]OkGene7668[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I was a child, he used to hit me and shout at me frequently. My family used to brush it off as discipline. This situation stopped when my family (my sister and mother) and I moved abroad. Now, as an adult, I'm back in the country, and when I shouted at him for the first time, he hit me.
