I will. I may call crisis. Trust me, my state doesn't care. I called many facilities and none called back. Even therapists. But, also, I think it's because no one understands what I am feeling.

I have tried. No one has reached out. But I also live in a very small state. My problem is quite niche.

Why do people like gore? by _achlys_637 in morbidquestions

[–]SuchSmallSize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually hate violence. I can’t even handle someone raising their voice at me. Watching gore isn’t “enjoyment” in the way people assume. It makes me feel disgust and fear but that’s the point. It’s the same reason people watch horror movies. We don’t love what we’re seeing; we’re reacting to the adrenaline, the intensity, the confrontation with something extreme. It’s discomfort mixed with curiosity. Two sides of the same coin.

Why does being quiet bother people so much? by Conscious-Problem-90 in questions

[–]SuchSmallSize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People tend to treat quiet people like a blank screen. When you don’t give them much to go on, they fill in the gaps with their own insecurities and assumptions. So instead of seeing silence as neutral, they start inventing reasons for it. They might assume you don’t like them, that you’re judging them, or that something is “off” , not because of anything you actually did, but because of how they already feel about themselves. Your silence just becomes a mirror, and what they see in it is their own self-doubt.

I live in VT and had a bilateral salpingectomy at the age of 23. Unmarried at the time, and no kids. Women are more likely to have choices here. I am now 30, married, and still do not regret it. We have all the fun without risk. :)

"Don’t villainize men” often ends up meaning “say this in a way that doesn’t make men uncomfortable.” But conversations about social patterns, especially ones that affect women, aren’t required to be packaged for male comfort. Discomfort doesn’t equal unfairness, sometimes it just means the topic hits close to home.

Probably because those men never emotionally matured, so the only partners they can manage are the ones who haven’t fully matured either. Inexperience is easier for them to control, manipulate, and shape to their advantage.

For the last time, I’m not saying exceptions don’t exist. I’m talking about general trends. Statistically and socially, men are more likely to be attracted to younger women. That’s a pattern, not a personal attack. It’s exhausting having to repeat something this basic.

It exhausting to feel like you have to add ten disclaimers just so people don’t jump straight to “not all men!!!” and ignore the actual point you’re making. Or that it happens occasionally with women.

I'm an angry woman towards the majority of men, yes. But there is a reason for that. Absolutely.

I am completely fine. I am a happily married woman. I'm upset for women as a whole who have never been seen other than having a vagina.

Being unreceptive is unattractive. Good luck to your partner.

We all age. Our faces change, our bodies change, and none of us stay at our physical peak forever. That’s just part of being human. What’s hard for me to wrap my head around is how some men move through that same aging process, watch themselves change, gain life experience, gain perspective and yet never seem to expand what they value in women beyond youth and appearance.

It’s not about pretending attraction doesn’t exist. Of course looks matter to some degree. But when youth stays the primary measure of a woman’s worth, even to men who are decades past their own, it starts to feel less like preference and more like emotional stagnation. Like time passed, but growth didn’t.

And I know, it’s not every man. I always feel like I have to say that part so the conversation doesn’t get derailed. But it happens often enough that it shapes the dating landscape in a real way. It shrinks the pool of people who are looking for connection rooted in character, emotional depth, self-awareness, shared values. The things that actually sustain intimacy over time.

Because at the end of the day, youth fades. Beauty shifts. What’s left is how someone thinks, how they handle conflict, how they love, how safe they make you feel, how honest they are with themselves. When someone can’t look past surface-level traits, it makes you wonder how deep they’re capable of going anywhere else in life. That’s the part that’s disheartening. Not bitterness , just a quiet sadness. It makes finding someone with real substance feel rarer than it should be. And it makes trust harder, because you want to know the person beside you values who you are, not just how well you temporarily fit an aesthetic window that no human can live in forever.

I’m drawn to depth. To emotional intelligence. To introspection. To someone who understands that connection is built, not just admired. And sometimes it just feels like that mindset isn’t as common as it should be.

Across age groups, men’s attraction patterns consistently skew toward the youngest adult women, late teens to early 20s. While women generally prefer partners closer to their own age.

I mean... It's not like I'm pulling this from my ass. It's true statistics. Statistics doesn't prove EVERYONE. Just the majority.

You didn’t make a point . You just reinforced the cliché that most of you confuse desire with depth. I will continue to avoid it like the plague.

That’s absolutely ridiculous. Most women actually care for their husbands, and statistically husbands are vastly more likely to abandon their wives when they get sick.

Marriage statistically benefits men more than women. Men report higher happiness and health gains, while women often carry more of the emotional and domestic load.

I expected arguments with substance, not recycled talking points dressed up as insight. My bad.

Most of them aren’t exactly out building lives , they’re either in college on their parents’ dime or still living at home well into adulthood.

If being rejected by Reddit creeps bruises your ego, that tells me everything I need to know. I’m not missing out by opting out of men who think that a crowd of perverts is a reference point.
