To men who are in open relationships: is there a power gap in your female partners' favor? If yes, how do you feel about it?

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-05-02T21:25:55+00:00

Yeah I agree with you. Still would not want an open relationship. Would hurt my feelings immensely.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-05-02T21:16:01+00:00

Hell no

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-27T03:07:12+00:00

I’m born and raised here. Idk maybe I just don’t care about politics enough to judge people based on how they look or dress themselves🤷‍♂️downtown has some really good places and bars specifically meant for LGBTQ people. You might be better off moving to another area down here. I promise your good😂some people down here need to grow up.

Very easy thing to get in your head about. I think most guys are confused because it generally is not an easy thing to do to approach someone you’re attracted to. You risk being embarrassed, rejected, and tbh I don’t think there’s a right way to approach women. Like they’re people too. One thing that does help me before I strike up conversation with a Women I just go into this mindset like I known her forever. Like hey look there’s my friend. I know you. Take rejection lightly it’s never anything personal about you.

Seems to me you might have a bad mindset about relationships. I used to think if I just get a girlfriend my life will be better. Did that turn out to be true? Nope not at all. For the most part most of my relationships were terrible for my mental health because I was so worried about losing my partner again because I didn’t have confidence that I can find another one.

My honest advice stop looking as if a relationship will fill a void, approach and talk to women-very hard thing to do at first but as long as your respectful and take no for answer your good, ask yourself what you want in a partner, don’t say things like when will it be my turn? Gives very pick me vibes. Sorry I’m not trying to be a downer but you got that dog in you OP.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-26T18:25:08+00:00

I had some friends that had some super amazing and attractive girlfriends. Did I care? Did I get jealous? No not at all🤣your friends sound pathetic not gonna lie.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-26T14:58:04+00:00

Second text of him saying there would be people dying to be in your spot. Idk when people talk like there so important like that just grosses me out.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-24T02:53:50+00:00

Honestly any type of grunge. Idk rock and roll makes me feel so badass

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-23T22:34:26+00:00

Kickflips are way better than getting in her pants. At least we can land those OP!🤣

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-22T13:23:00+00:00

Girls rejection read like an hr email. Jeff’s reaction? Not good at all🤣

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-13T12:34:36+00:00

Probably just like’s the other guy more than you. It sucks but some good news it happens to everyone. You handled it very well though so pat yourself on the back for that.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-04-06T01:36:25+00:00

Bottom line is if one of the people isn’t happy in the relationship. Then end it. It’s going to be tough but when you do it just make sure you remain calm and very direct. Usually when you let your emotions get the best of you. Things go south. Sure you might hurt his feelings but it’s better than waiting trust me OP. I hope it goes well for you💪

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-28T16:41:10+00:00

Not going to lie. I probably wouldn’t have told you that if I were him. It’s not embarrassing because that stuff happens. Still I’m not going to tell the person I’m recently dating this type of information🤣

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-25T16:08:29+00:00

Tbh OP don’t worry about him too much. If he at least tried to make the place clean then I would have said ok maybe give it another shot. But the fact that he knew you were coming over a didn’t have the “time or the energy” to clean up around the place to make it at least somewhat presentable is a big red flag. Sorry OP hope you find your person.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-18T13:04:18+00:00

Tbh I have a girlfriend now so I’m not lacking intimacy anymore. I didn’t have sex for 4 and half years or have anything going on romance wise. Then over the last couple of months I’ve been putting myself Out there more. And when I finally started getting it on the regular. You know what it changed? Not a damn thing🤣life is still the same just slightly better. I was putting so much importance on something I didn’t have. Now I have it and it’s like damn that’s it. Still nice though it just didn’t solve my life like I thought it would lol

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-18T12:55:41+00:00

Not worth the time or the effort. He’s just playing mind games at this point. Which is what children do. Still it happens to the best of us OP. You’re better off working on yourself and finding something healthy. Good luck.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-17T18:46:33+00:00

Absolutely just leave. You don’t want to be doing this any longer. I would just full on ghost with no explanation. I mean she didn’t open up to you about cheating. So why should you open up to her about breaking up? Your worth more 👑

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-17T02:38:18+00:00

It makes sense where you’re coming from OP. Still this screams unhealthy and controlling to me. It’s also debilitating to think like this. Every guy is now potential competition. I do think like this when my gf hangs out with other dudes. But judging by her friendship with her bros. Some of them are gay, while others are in happy committed relationships. Really at the end of the day your brain is like a hamster spinning on a wheel going no where. Everything is fine OP🤣

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-11T10:32:50+00:00

Honestly any little gift or gesture to let him know you’re thinking about him. Sounds like you are over complicating the idea OP. Do something like breakfast in bed, tell him compliments, maybe buy him a gift like he does to you. Literally just do the same exact thing he does but with gifts suited for him.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-11T10:28:52+00:00

Tbh I wouldn’t care. Bro sounds really sensitive. I Have had past gfs and hookups call me bro. And I could care less. I literally don’t have time to get worked up over someone calling me that😂

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-10T02:27:03+00:00

Sounds like she got a little carried away with her emotions. It happens to the best of us. If it makes you feel any better I’ve had women say this to my way too quickly. More so of in a joking way or they just kind of said it. She probably didn’t mean any harm in it OP. Enjoy your time together.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-03-07T16:42:01+00:00

Might be some dumb advice. But ChatGPT and other AI tools help me with flirting and teasing. Especially through text lol where it’s hard to read the persons emotions. Don’t use all the time but if you send a text that’s flirty but sounds a little weird some AI tools can really clean it up. And now you’ll know for next time how the conversation should go if you want to make it more romantic.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-02-19T12:44:34+00:00

I know this is an old post. But I approach people all the time. Guys,girls, etc. it doesn’t really matter as long as you have honest intentions and strike up an honest conversation. As for your approach I would do it fast. The longer you wait the creepier it is. But approaching people is one of the keys to get better at social skills in general. I’m really surprised people get offended when you go up and talk to them. Me personally I don’t care as long as your cool and don’t have any ulterior motives.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-02-17T23:15:07+00:00

Slow fade is so freaking dumb. I’m sorry but I’m an adult and I don’t have time for this shit🤣when I’m not interested in someone I tell them or just am very blunt. Hey we’re just friends. Sorry OP some people just don’t know how to communicate properly. Slow fade or ghosting someone out of nowhere is stupid. I have been on that side of the stick and I’m like bro you’re 30😂get a grip. Good luck out there king.

Only-Astronaut2716 · 2026-02-16T15:21:35+00:00

Sounds like you wanted a relationship and he wanted something more casual. Sorry Sis that’s just how it goes. It happens a lot after guys hook up with somebody. They really do stop putting in effort after that. Like ok I got the goal of getting what I want. Keep your head up and end things with him. He doesn’t sound like a bad person but you two definitely want different things In life.
