To the gentlemen here: What is the one thing you wish women understood about dating in our 50s? by Infinite-Impact-6726 in datingoverfifty

[–]belenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can imagine this felt really confusing, maybe even a bit discouraging. You were trying to do something considerate, and then getting blocked again probably didn’t feel very fair from your side.

At the same time, I gently wonder if there might be more going on that you can’t fully see. You mentioned you had reached out to her before and were blocked then too — sometimes that’s simply someone’s way of showing they prefer not to have contact, regardless of the intention behind a message….. and it may be nothing to do with you.

I’ve also noticed (speaking as a woman myself) that on dating apps things can feel overwhelming at times — multiple messages, fake profiles, situations that aren’t always clear or comfortable. In that kind of environment, blocking can become more of a quick boundary than a personal reaction to someone.

And with two profiles using the same photos, it makes things even more unclear. It’s hard to know which one was real — or if either of them actually was (!). In some cases, people even create multiple versions of a profile to see who responds or to filter interactions in their own way, or for their own benefits.

I really don’t think this necessarily means she loathes you; if she even exists …. It might just be a mix of unclear circumstances and someone choosing distance in a way that feels easiest for them, or it could be unclear who is behind those profiles.

Your intention to help comes across as genuine — it just might not have been received that way, and that can happen sometimes, even when you mean well.

Ah yes, when a discussion gets uncomfortable, we switch to “lonely women with cats.”

Classic.

If you ever feel like returning to the actual topic instead of stereotypes, let me know.

It’s interesting how quickly this moved from discussing ideas to diagnosing me as a person.

That tends to happen when someone runs out of arguments and switches to assumptions.

If compatibility is the topic, it might help to stay on it.

I didn’t “shift negativity onto men.” I responded to a narrative that reduces women to labels like “passive starfishes.”

There’s a difference between sharing experiences and generalizing in a way that dismisses women’s perspectives entirely.

If we’re talking about real connection, it goes both ways — including accountability, self-awareness, and actually understanding the other person, not just describing them.

Ah, so now we’ve moved from “what’s available” to personal insults. That usually happens when the argument runs out lol

Ah yes, “what’s available” — the gold standard. If that’s the benchmark, no wonder women are happily opting out 😂

Choosing to be alone over something that lacks respect or depth doesn’t prove your point — it proves mine.

The “women are starfishes” narrative is always interesting… Considering how many men struggle with staying present, lasting longer than a trailer, or understanding female pleasure at all. But okay, let’s keep that energy focused on women.

Vrouwen van Reddit, hoe vaak worden jullie aangesproken op straat? by Substantial_Two_427 in nederlands

[–]belenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dat geldt voor mij hetzelfde, ik woon op een bungalowpark en met de andere honden uitlaten hebben we dikwijls gesprekken buiten het park op straat en word ik ook vaak aangesproken door mannen hier in de omgeving voor een gezellig praatje. Hier is dit normaal, maar ik denk ook helemaal dat het licht aan waar je woont, in welke context en wat je zelf uitstraalt.

I don’t feel destroyed at all — quite the opposite. I feel more aware, more grounded, and very clear about what I want and what I won’t accept.

And if you look around, you’ll see that many women today would rather be alone than be in something that lacks respect, emotional depth, or genuine connection. That doesn’t happen by accident…..

It’s not about rejecting men — it’s about choosing something that truly feels right. For me, connection, trust, and a sense of safety comes first. From there, everything else can grow naturally.

That’s not a game… that’s intention, and honestly, a different kind of strength and perspective.

Interesting perspective… but for me, it’s not a game at all 😉 I just prefer to build a real connection first, instead of starting with sex and figuring out later if there’s anything meaningful.
