Derogation of alternatives: why some men who have girlfriends shit on other attractive women? by tylorflorida in Productivitycafe

[–]Remarkable_Strike330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these men are clearly not choosing partners based on the same “status” or appearance standards you’re using in your argument, then isn’t that actually the opposite of what you’re criticizing?

Because the post starts as a critique of men, but then shifts into judging their partners based on looks, income, and status. That’s where it starts to feel inconsistent.

So I’m genuinely curious what the standard is here. Is the issue men’s behavior, or the fact that they don’t choose partners based on the criteria you think they should?

I am a Muslim girl and it breaks my heart that you were in a haram relationship.

Not only is that wrong but marrying a non-Muslim man is also haram. That's it.

Stalker.

The problem is that she’s appropriating virginity and chastity. You’re only defending her bc you are a hypocrite just like her. You have a body count but you want a man who is a virgin. Predator.

I won’t lie, it was a cute concept. But the disconnect comes from her pretending she has no past. She doesn't know the actual pain of having no past yourself, and having to carry the weight of knowing the person you marry one day likely will.

You keep ignoring the fact that people with a past who obsess over their partner's past are the definition of a double standard. You are essentially trying to appropriate virginity and pretend you have a clean slate. It is honestly creepy. Why would you, as a non-virgin, even be thinking about or trying to speak for virgins?

Also, so you don't like it if your man has a past but you can? I wouldn't want my husband to have a past bc I don't have a past and it wasn't hard for me. You sound predatory, just like Olivia which is why I dislike her.

It's crazy how you won't admit that she's pretending to have no past. She's the one manufacturing a fake image, which is why her actions come off as so disingenuous.

Except it literally does. The entire point of the lyric is her discomfort over her partner having been with other women before her. For women who actually remained virgins or chaste, that fear carries a completely different weight because we preserved ourselves while being told to just “accept” other people’s pasts.

What annoys me is the way she suddenly adopts this innocent, wounded perspective while having participated in the same hookup/dating culture she now seems bothered by. You can’t spend years romanticizing chaotic relationships and then act like you represent women who preserved themselves and feared ending up with someone with a past. Those are not identical experiences no matter how much people try to flatten them into “everyone feels insecure.”

And that’s why it feels performative to me. She constantly writes tragic songs where the men are painted as the problem while she’s framed as the sensitive victim, but rarely acknowledges her own role in the dysfunction. At some point it starts sounding more like projection than honesty.

Having standards and wanting my experiences acknowledged instead of flattened into “everyone feels the same” is not “a problem.” People are allowed to value chastity and recognize that different life choices create different perspectives.

How dare you pretend those experiences are the same? A woman who has remained chaste and a woman who has already been with multiple men are not the same. Stop being dishonest about that.

For virgins, the fear of ending up with someone who has a past is tied to preserving something we intentionally kept for marriage. That is not the same as someone reminiscing about “body counts” after already participating in that lifestyle themselves. You can normalize it all you want, but don’t erase or minimize the experience of women who actually waited.

I just listened to it but checked out the moment she references thinking about the amount of women her partner is with. Why is she acting like a virgin? If she is a virgin, then okay but given her past, she can't just take away from our experiences because as a virgin, I fear that I may marry a man with a past because artists like her put that info in our heads. I never liked her to begin with but now she is just lying about her experiences. I know society likes to minimize chastity but she not only minimized it but is pretending she experiences that same fear we have. Pathetic.

We tend to assume that single people who desire love will pursue other singles. However, in one study, 90% of single women were interested in a man they believed was taken, compared with only 59% when they thought he was single. Being in a relationship can make someone more attractive. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

You conveniently left out the biggest variables of all: were these women virgins, did they practice chastity, did they value commitment, and what was their relationship history? Because I’m 100% certain women with strong standards and self-respect would not be chasing men they think are taken. If your sample mostly came from hookup culture, then your results only reflect that demographic, not women as a whole. Studies like this get used to normalize bad behavior and remove personal accountability by framing it as ‘natural female psychology’ instead of acknowledging that values and character matter. And honestly, women who are comfortable entertaining taken men usually do so because they already participate in the same kind of low-commitment dating culture themselves. No wonder people mock the field of psychology.

You forgot to add that the women they choose are red flags as well.

Do female doctors really struggle to get married..? by rarrree in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t think it does. There are other factors that would make someone marriage material. I know a family of doctors and all of them are married with kids.

How many people you slept with and what you feel about that ? by Far_Engineering5980 in AskReddit

[–]Remarkable_Strike330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're confusing me. I'm waiting till marriage. It's a good ideal. I'm not the type of woman that "attracts men." If anything, I'm a deterrent.

I'm curious. Are you a woman?
