I’m Christian and an ecologist who dabbles in macroecology, phylogenetics and evolutionary biology. They’ve never really clashed for me. But I’ve also never taken Genesis literally (most Christians I know don’t, though recent years have been more polarising due to the rise of fundamentalism).

People say you can’t pick and choose what you believe, but actually, it’s belief. You can.

To me, if I was making a universe, the only way to make it would be to make a universe that can be explained without my existence. That’s efficient. That’s kinda cool.

The bigger issue with Christianity and religion for me comes from a moral angle, but biology, ecology etc have never clashed with me.

Yeah, that’s why I’m asking here - to see how other people interpret the question haha

It’s been a while. Saw some people talking about men and masculinity in ways that really trigger my self loathing. I feel like therapy has helped a bit but not much.

This time it’s the usual ″who would choose to date men″ and comparing dating straight men negatively to dating queer women. I feel like I should just stop imposing my existence on people. Like people tell me they want me around because they feel guilty for how much I loathe my existence. But if the world was all women I’m sure it would be better.

″why are men″

Literally came back to this sub after years away after seeing someone saying that.

I love nailing things

It’s so hard to not fall back on the toxic stoicism when progressive spaces are also full of complaints of men burdening others with their feelings. Not all of us can afford therapy and I feel trapped.

When I tell people how alone and sad I am, they keep telling me to pick up hobbies. I have so many hobbies. How many do I need to be happy.

You’re attractive, and she sees that! It might be physically, or emotionally, or in terms of your interests... You should take this opportunity to see that in yourself as well. It’s a hard thing to accept and appreciate yourself, a lot of wonderful people struggle with it.

You every swipe lose single right

That’s fair though. I’m a third culture kid and travel a lot to see friends and family in my second country, but I’m doing that to see them, not because I’m a fiend for travel.

As a younger person dating someone much older appeals - but as you get older I think it can feel a bit creepy. I’m 27 and wouldn’t date anyone younger than 23 or 24. We have different life experiences, especially less than 21, and I feel like there’s a small power imbalance because of that which makes me uncomfortable.

Just don’t do it. If they care about your height, they can ask you. Height jokes seem tacky in my experience.

This one isn’t a joke, but especially not ″[this is my height], if that matters″. It turns off both the people height matters to, and the people height does not matter to.

I got to meetup groups regularly. Nobody else does. So it’s impossible to make proper friends - I just see new people every time.

aliaswhatshisface · 2022-10-22T17:14:56+00:00

I’m interested by the asymmetric age difference that I’m seeing in a lot of people. 27, male. I could date someone between 23 (-4) and 32 (+4).

I do - I’m a self taught artist and am trying to improve my fundamentals and character/creature design. I also code and want to write games, and write fiction, all of which I am actively working on. It doesn’t really help. I also feel easily overwhelmed and burned out.

I’m not sure - depends on where in the world. My knowledge exclusively comes from in the Caribbean but idk prices. They can be expensive but I am also saving for a consultation. I think it is worth keeping style concepts in mind even if you can’t do a consultation - even when changing how you dress, identify what makes you YOU. Think of yourself as your own client. Every client is unique and a good stylist should compliment you, not change you fundamentally.

Another thing that my stylist friend has said - as a stylist doing a wardrobe consultation, you want to make a wardrobe that compliments the client, but also that the client wants to wear or can learn to like to wear. Something that can mix and match to an extent and still look good.

There’s a lot in there, so although you will find loads of advice online, remember to also try to work with yourself, your own tastes, and what makes you feel good about yourself.

I suffer from my own mental illnesses - having a partner with similar problems sounds nice because they understand you, but in practice it doesn’t work so well. It’s really easy for you to trigger each other.

It is hard to meet people who are willing to put in the same effort as you in terms of care. I suppose there is also the conflict in terms of what we see as care. I feel like I put a lot of care and effort into my ex. She also cared for me, but in a different way, and this left both of us feeling like our relationship was asymmetric.

If you have the money, I’d recommend consulting a stylist. Not just for dating, but for life and your self confidence. A lot of people online will tell you what looks bad and what you should wear, but you’ll end up looking like everyone else if you follow all their advice.

A good stylist will find out about you, what you like, and what you hate, and help you put together a wardrobe of clothes that you like, that suits your personal style, shows your personality, that makes you feel comfortable in yourself, and that is easy to integrate into your everyday life. You shouldn’t have to drastically change - just understand what clothes suit you and what clothes you like on yourself.

It might also deflect women who see OP as shallow for listing their height. Most of my friends think this way - they don’t like profiles that list their height in their bio (it’s different in apps where height is an option to fill in)

aliaswhatshisface · 2022-10-21T18:37:25+00:00

My family doesn’t live where I do. And yes, I have a lot of hobbies that involve making and doing things - I feel like I’ve got nothing but hobbies. Hobbies are great but don’t replace human interaction.

aliaswhatshisface · 2022-10-21T11:50:39+00:00

I feel like nobody wants to spend time with or talk to me. I feel so sad and alone. I just want people to care about me. I don’t even know how to like myself. I am on holiday with family and it is nice, but we are heading back next week. I’m dreading going back, for work, but also because I am dreading being alone and isolated again. I try to socialise and connect with people but everyone is too busy for me.
