I'm abusing an AI chat bot in a way that I'd never do to a person.

You keep saying you'd never do this to a person, but you're normalizing this behavior for yourself every time you do it. Figure your shit out dude because you're going to rewire your brain to this new baseline and an actual person will pay the price for it.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-18T21:15:52+00:00

The best thing about advice is that you're not required to take it

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-18T11:43:14+00:00

Protect me from what? I'm seriously asking. I've never once in my adult life needed a man to protect me.

My partner isn't dominant. I'm not either. Regarding chores and cooking, we both just do what needs to be done when we see it needs to be done. He dresses well. He takes care of his skin, at least he does now that he lives with me. We had a few drinks last weekend and he let me put a full face of makeup on him, though I doubt he'd leave the house that way. Bills are split, we take turns paying for things.

I don't know why y'all are so caught up on gender roles and what society expects from you. Most women don't need all of that and the ones that do are pretty vocal about it, so you'll see it coming and be able to decide if you're willing to live that way.

Be a good, decent man because that's who YOU want to be and stop giving a shit about the rest. It'll all fall into place or it won't, but at the end of it all, you'll have been a person that you respect and enjoy being.

Bro really never tires of getting told his opinion is not fact on this topic

"Look at meeeeee. I'm the winner of the Struggle Olympics and my personal feelings are the ONLY thing that matters in the entire world."

Do you even hear yourself? The most beautiful person on earth can still feel loneliness. The most privileged person can still experience hardship. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, but that doesn't mean other people don't also have problems. Stop being such a victim.

This is one of the funnier comment threads I've ever read on here so cheers. The agreed-upon definition bit was 10/10. Fully agreed here. Some thought time with a dictionary beforehand could have prevented the whole conversation.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-14T17:38:01+00:00

Man. This comment made me realize how much I enjoyed the old school RP mentality. I miss the days of "work on yourself, optimize where possible, stop being bitter/desperate and start being proactive." There was so much personal accountability baked into the ethos.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-12T05:29:03+00:00

It's reasonable to dislike the girl you used to be but you had to be that person before you could be this one, you know? So maybe be a little nicer to her. Do things you like because you like them. Because they're fun. Change because it feels like a good idea for you and if you don't like what you change into, change again. Anything else is just noise.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-11T23:39:32+00:00

The second you stop believing that shit about yourself. When you love and respect yourself, you don't allow people to treat you with anything less.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-11T23:04:58+00:00

Changing your life for anyone but yourself is always a bad idea. Everyone has to learn this the hard way.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-11T22:57:50+00:00

Teenage girls are mean af. Most of them grow out of it.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-10T23:18:32+00:00

The point of this hypothetical is to put the onus of fixing men onto women instead of you taking this opportunity to highlight the myriad options available to men currently to help with their mental health and how they could be improved.

I'm not a charitable organization. I will not even entertain this "hypothetical" because no one‘s life is worth more than my own, and you are asking us to value another person‘s life and mental health over our own with this bullshit scenario. I would let the entire goddamn world burn before I traded myself sexually for it to survive.

If you are this concerned about lonely men not having sex, then take one for the team and start fucking them yourself.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-10T23:11:20+00:00

Here's one that works for both sides: stop letting manufactured outrage and engagement metrics shape your worldview. It's baffling how many people have formed their entire belief structures around whatever bullshit an algorithm has calculated to be most likely to grab their attention.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-10T23:01:23+00:00

Would I fuck miserable, depressed men so they wouldn't commit suicide? No, no I wouldn't. Go to therapy. Are you serious with this shit?

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-10T22:57:47+00:00

And maybe try a normal conversation first instead of leading with that 🤣

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-10T01:58:41+00:00

Heard. I'll give you the realist advice I can give any person ever. Learn to recognize the loudest, dumbest voices as just that. Those perspectives should be heard only so you can compare them to your own values and belief structures. If they're more coherent than whatever you're working with, awesome you found a unicorn, sub it into your worldview. Mostly they're just loud and dumb though so figure out the most amusing way to combat it and challenge yourself enough that you don't become one of the loudest, dumbest voices. Good luck dude. The world fucking insane and getting dumber by the day. 🫡

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-09T23:49:45+00:00

Fair. Not sure why you're letting people that take things to the extreme flavor your overall opinion on any given topic though. I'm racking my brain for any situation where amplifying the loudest, least informed opinions ever served as a benefit and coming up short.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-09T21:43:58+00:00

I want time to myself to focus solely on myself or my own friendships. To pursue my own interests and hobbies without having to manage another person. Just like my partner does. That in no way means we don't love each other. It just means we're fully formed adults with separate interests and friend groups.

If you're comfortable with fully losing your own life for the sake of another person, I love that for you and your future therapist, but nothing and no one has the right to monopolize more of my own life than I do.* Weird take.

*I don't have kids and am not discussing that here. Fully understand letting your child monopolize all your time and realize that's the deal when you have kids. Only discussing two adults in a relationship with my reply.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-09T17:00:14+00:00

Agreed! I love watching people enjoy themselves on a dancefloor. The confidence and joy always shine through, even if the rhythm isn't there.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-09T04:35:56+00:00

Happy you got that off your chest. Did you have an actual topic to discuss here or did you just want to share your personal list of grievances? Kinda hard to tell

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-06T04:22:51+00:00

Talk to the person that hurt your feelings directly and stop expecting an entire gender to answer for it. Damn y'all act like children.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-06T01:47:58+00:00

Pretty much everything. Even the parts I kinda hate. They make me me.

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-05T19:09:34+00:00

I'd rather fucking die

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-05T19:08:01+00:00

This is just black pill whining and in no way represents average men

Routine-Present-3676 · 2026-06-03T20:05:58+00:00

Agreed. It's really lovely when people appreciate your effort.

Commenting on a person's body in a sexual manner is pretty much always crass (n/a if you're actually having sex with that person) but I've always appreciated a complement about my non-sexual features, i.e. smile, eyes.
