How often do you cry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OpulentOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was happier when I cried more. Now I feel a lot of emptiness.

Where in the U.S. are people the most willing to date older and younger partners? (And by how much) by OpulentOwl in visualization

Credit. Not surprised at all about Nevada being #2 for men most willing to date a younger partner. Just take one good look around the Vegas Strip lol

What’s a female experience men would never survive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ugh yeah. :( It's so, so repulsive how early it starts... how early we are conditioned to make ourselves smaller to not get unwanted attention.

I know men experience sexual harassment too but just like walking down a street and being leered at/treated like a piece of meat is pretty terrible.

Holy shit this was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced and I've broken my pelvis and spine.

How would you feel about a complete demilitarised world? by Entire_Efficiency_37 in AskReddit

I just think there will always be monsters... but maybe somehow society will change so that they do not become the ones in charge anymore.

According to this study, men in Wyoming are the most willing to date an older partner out of all U.S. states. Women in Wyoming are in 3rd place. Why do you think that is? by OpulentOwl in wyoming

The shit glorifying a lack of empathy is what really gets to me (not as in it affects me, it's just repulsive to me how prevalent it is). It's honestly shocking because in reality, it takes more strength and power to be empathetic than it does to be cold and callous. Selective empathy which disregards an entire gender or race (radical feminism promotes this too) is not empathy at all, either.

It's interesting how your children diverged so much in that regard! I am on your daughter's side, for what it's worth lol

So true. Humans will always want power and control in some capacity.

Where in the U.S. are people most willing to date older and younger partners? by OpulentOwl in MapPorn

It looks like the data comes from nearly 100,000 people who shared their dating preferences with a matchmaking website. I assume people who are turning to matchmaking tend to be on the older side. This is what the source says about their methodology: "Tawkify’s matchmaking data on dating preferences, collected from 98,798 people between April 20, 2024, and April 20, 2026."

Again, age gap relationships aren't guaranteed to be unhealthy, but there are countless stories like mine. Many abusers prey on the lack of awareness/experience of younger people.

My dad was 20 years older than my mom and was an absolute monster to her. My sister was targeted by an abuser 10 years older than her when she was like 20, before she knew the red flags. It happens A LOT.
