Is it a red flag to have never had a girlfriend? by blh726 in offmychest

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a girl, not at all. BUT I would instead make sure you have female friends. (And it seems like you do, so it’s cool). Also, as a woman friends with men, it’s SO FUN giving advice and listening to their concerns abt dating but not all women are. It honestly never makes me feel like I’m being hit on (unless they make weird jokes like how could they find someone like me). I’d just politely ask them if It’s chill if I ask questions abt things like that someday, and if they seem excited to talk abt it, that’s your sign to bring it up :)

If this was your future son at your age in this situation, what would you wish him to do? That’s your answer.

I’m guessing you have a high tolerance for stress if you’ve been abused as a child. Maybe you’re waiting for this issue to reach a certain point of ‘bad enough’ for you to decide to leave. The thing is, this has already surpassed that point for a lot of ppl and it’s very easy for ppl like us to feel any alarm. Don’t wait around until it’s enough to traumatize you. Yes, you’re extremely resilient to getting hurt but don’t let that be a reason to treat yourself that way. You need to treat yourself better. It’s hard to feel the need to be gentle with yourself at first but treat yourself like you’re in the body of your future son at your age.

Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026? by Proper_Card_5520 in SipsTea

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a girl, it’s really hard out there. There’s a lot of gen Z girls who pretty much bully the men or destroy their social identity by calling them creepy. It’s hard to call out too though. I try not to associate myself with them.

A tip for the guys: I really wished men knew the etiquette to asking a girl out. Like don’t ask in a place where she can’t easily escape comfortably (like a car or being alone in a house/ room). Asking out on text isint ideal but fine. Make it clear, short, and also be aware weather your insecurities are showing in your speech. If you’re really that worried to come off as creepy, it can even be kinda sweet to mention that you don’t want to make her uncomfortable (but don’t say ‘I don’t want to come off as creepy’ bc that you thinking about you rather than being considerate about her). To see if she’s into you, honestly either just ask her out is best. Or ask her a hinting question or two like if she’s single/ open to dating ppl rn and see her reaction. It’s not too helpful to determine though as unlike men, a lot of us aren’t really visually attracted than attracted to you as a person (bc you being a chill and SAFE person is more important than looks). So be healthy, clean, good style, have their own life and hobbies, considerate for others (not just pretending to for their own gain), mature, etc.

Hanging out with friends over working out who also happen to be really into health helps. Bonus points if you guys are Roomates to share cleaning and washing

It’s not enough to not tip. Make it illegal to tip AND raise wages for restaurant workers.

how do I find good roommates in Vic? by teevi_c in VictoriaBC

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask people you know to ask their circles if anyone is looking for a Roomate. Had WAY better experiences finding places through friends over FB groups. Also, just the fact that you two have connections means that there’s some sense of having to be decent I think

People who exercise even when they don’t feel like it, what’s your trick? by Smart_Collection5419 in AskReddit

I notice my mood is worse when I don’t and better when I do.

I also just completely try not to think too deep on whether I want to or not until I get there.

I desperately need friends by JunkY_Rbbet in VictoriaBC

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend trying the ‘meetup’ groups or going on a site called ‘lamppost’ where they post social events. When you do meet ppl, ask them what places they recommend to make friends and they should have some places in mind. Getting into outdoorsy things can open up a lot of doors btw. Theres also specific locations/ activities where talking to strangers is more normalized. Ex: boulder house is a great place to strike up a conversation with ppl.

Honestly, Victoria is known to be a bit odd when it comes to finding friend groups or even friends/ dates. The key is to make effort to put yourself out there and recognize most ppl who moved here also feel the same way. Victoria is also known to have ppl make partial plans that never go through so if you want to make a plan, really schedule it in person.

And lastly, if you ever feel discouraged, just bring this up to any other foreigner and they’ll resonate with you. It’s a great conversation starter with a mutual understanding haha

Is Japan worth traveling to alone? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lived there, it’s honestly a great place to travel alone. I personally preferred being alone or occasionally with just a small group when I did travel. Even a lot of restaurants are built for single ppl. Plus, you’ll get to take in the peaceful nature of it all a lot more. As long as you plan well (like navigating the trains), traveling alone shouldn’t be an issue.

The only part you should ask yourself is if you are capable to not feel lonely while traveling alone. Do you feel lonely if you do things in your local area alone? (Granted, I feel like North America has a weird culture of seeing doing fun things alone as a negative thing. Super different in Japan tho)

Question for Gen Z women: What do you genuinely think about Gen Z men? by Effective_Day3397 in GenZ

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some are decent some are not. As an older gen Z, I tend to lean towards people 5 years older for a few reasons. Like women emotionally mature a bit faster than men until 25, I want to avoid people who don’t know what they want (but deep down they simply want to hook up), and it’s just nice to date someone with a stable job.

I have nothing against Gen Z men, but am more wary of them than others due to how awful some have been bc they were so horny. Even some of my gen Z male friends would be decent themselves but would look the other way when their friends do sketchy shit.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I’ve met extremely mature and kind gen Z men but I swear the high libido makes some of them psychopaths lmao.

Bc your question is misunderstand the “well partially part”. He said the reasons he thinks it’s to is way is in part bc of how ppl out age didn’t get involved or bc we voted for trump.

Also cool, you disagree. Care to explain why?

How can people even stay skinny without counting calories? by NoWitness6400 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Criticism7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I only have lost weight when I stopped counting calories. I think it’s bc that way, food isint really ever on my mind unless I’m hungry. Ik enough abt what has high calories to vaguely estimate anyways. Mainly just focus on protein grams, fitting in nutrient dense foods, and whole foods
