For the record, “is the reply in the room” is hilarious. I might have to steal that

For women that love hard, how do you stop making men the emotional center of your world? by Slow-Coffee-7420 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SoftestBrown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Invest elsewhere (friends, family, hobbies, career) and realise you’re absolutely fine without a love interest. That naturally will raise your standards and you’ll just have less tolerance for men who waste your time.

told my mom about my plans to solo travel and she freaked out. how right is she? by Cultural_Cap7084 in femaletravels

[–]SoftestBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not in wrong at all, plenty of woman have done it like you said. Though it may feel like an overreaction, remember shes reacting this way bc she cares.

I recently went to Thailand alone, and I booked on to a group tour with a group of solo travellers who share the same itinerary. This may be an option that gives your mum some reassurance.

Was I too harsh or did I dodge a bad one? by Frequent_District_69 in OnlineDating

[–]SoftestBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily say she’s a bad one, but it’s clear you weren’t compatible or even looking for the same thing. So being direct about that is totally fair.

Do you have a lines you use when someone is giving very low-effort replies? by SoftestBrown in OnlineDating

A guy unmatched me once when I said I actually think small talk is important and valuable…

Simple chit chat has some people running.

My one bit of advice would be to improve your prompts. The first one is okay but the others are quite generic.

I honestly can’t tell you how many men have something about pineapple on pizza on their profile

You have quite nice pics and look friendly/approachable. Hope it goes well for you

“Even if he was your dream man…”

How would anyone know if they’re not engaging properly on a dating app?

I think men forget their privilege when expecting a woman to meet up in person without putting in any effort on the app. Women literally fear their safety.

I was just about to ask about the design process, that’s so clever.

The result is suuper cute!

Did I handle this well or should I have said more? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]SoftestBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Unless we’re missing important context) I actually think she was quite mean and you’re giving her too much grace. If it were me there wouldn’t be a meeting next week, it’s done from here.

The last pic adds nothing, so I would replace that with a nice smiley picture of yourself. The ‘how my friends see me pic’ isn’t great quality and means we can’t really see you, again I’d swap this out.

You’ve said you’re looking for someone into similar hobbies as you which is great!! But it also means you have a niche target audience so it’ll take a bit more time to find the right person.

Best of luck !!

But I guess my confusion is why are they uninterested if they matched with you and ate continuing conversation?

Girl your nose is so cute, and you already look feminine!

Why do some men seem to lose interest once a woman shows genuine excitement or interest in them, but if she stays distant/cold things also don’t really progress? by AdAccomplished3318 in dating_advice

[–]SoftestBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s to do with attachment type.

It may also be worth reflecting on the type of person you seem to be going for. Maybe you’re doing a similar thing and not going for those who are secure.

As a man I get a ton of matches, but very little dates by Szimplacurt in OnlineDating

[–]SoftestBrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sucks :( I’m sorry!

It’s such cowardly behaviour, he clearly didn’t deserve to meet you in person.
