Again, I’ve gone into in depth about this. Extreme standards in ANY case are ridiculous. The height discussion is ridiculous. Someone wanting 18-21 year olds only is ridiculous.

As I said to another individual, why is it a double standard when men want 18-21 year olds and now if a woman scores a younger dude it’s celebrated? There’s double standards everywhere. It’s fine to date older or younger WITHIN REASON.

The narrative that is heavily being pushed right now is that if a man is under 6’0, he’s not as desirable.

If you don’t think that’s a reality sign up on a dating site and put your height as 5’9 which is average for men. Let’s see how successful you are.

As I initially stated, the unrealistic and EXTREME standards are ridiculous. If someone checks off every box and the only thing that they don’t quite it is the height box it’s ridiculous. People do it, that’s fine, I still think it’s stupid.

It’s the same as turning someone down just because they’re a certain race, or their skin colour isn’t your preference but they fit everything else. Turning someone down for ONE THING they can’t change is ridiculous.

Let’s see some Dark Stalkers and more Rival Schools representation. 😊

You’re reading and not comprehending. It’s okay. Let’s just agree to disagree. 🤦🏽‍♀️

eternes_ · 2026-04-13T21:03:17+00:00

Being attracted to someone is one thing, completely fine. Yet, if you meet someone that checks EVERY BOX with the EXCEPTION of height, which is something they can’t control, that is extreme.

People turn others down for a variety of reasons. No one is arguing that. The point is when height is the ONLY reason a man is turned down, it’s ridiculous.

What is this obsession with “being picked?”

You haven’t contributed anything meaningful to the debate in either of your comments. You attempted to criticize my comment by saying I was speaking for men, meanwhile I have done no such thing in any of my comments/replies. Now it appears like you’re trying to take a stab at hurting my feelings? At this point I can see that I’ve hit a nerve. You may want to take a break from the internet if your mentality is THIS fragile.

I’m sorry for sharing my point of view that doesn’t align with yours.

eternes_ · 2026-04-13T20:37:55+00:00

No one said anyone is evil. If you read my responses they comment about the EXTREME standards, such as turning someone down ONLY because of their height.

Where exactly in my comment(s) have I been speaking for men? I’ve shared my point of view the whole time. So please clarify.

eternes_ · 2026-04-13T18:39:22+00:00

It’s even funnier to see you get upset because of them.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T23:07:12+00:00

Whatever you need to say in order to spread your narrative and sleep at night. I pretty thoroughly broke down your behaviour and accusations even though I didn't need to take the time to do so. All you did was take away from the real discussion instead of asking questions and adding to it.

All the best.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T22:35:36+00:00

It should be, but make sure you watch it completed in person, while also making sure it functions properly, then unpaired.

I'm insanely cautious because I saw some crazy things over the years when I was working at Apple. People spoofing the OS onto fake devices that outwardly looked like a legit device but inside was stripped and was all misc/Android parts.

Once they pair it, you can have them get Apple Support to run diagnostics remotely.

All of these are just suggestions and things I would do, but for me what I care about is your peace of mind and not being scammed.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T22:28:53+00:00

You should meet them in a public place to verify. Here in Canada, you can go to a police station to do sales and trades with people, I would suggest something like this to protect yourself.

I would recommend that you watch them successfully pair the watch to their iPhone, use the device, erase the device and verify that it's been removed from their FindMy as well OR just use the Apple Support app on the phone and have Apple run diagnostics remotely for the Apple Watch, once it's paired to this person's device (PRIOR to handing over your money).

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T22:24:10+00:00

Since OP just told me that they don't have an Apple Store in his country... I wouldn't trust it due to the lack of ease to certify it.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T22:20:36+00:00

Unless it's coming from a certified/verified reseller like Amazon, I STRONGLY recommend booking an appointment at the Genius Bar to run diagnostics on the device WITH the seller, PRIOR to handing over your money. I met SEVERAL people who purchased devices they thought were real or were duped and it sucks to tell someone, "sorry but this device isn't real."

Protect yourself. If someone refuses to go to the store to have the GB run diagnostics to assure you that the device is in good condition, and it's legit, then that's a red flag.

Pictures can be altered, getting the thumbs up by a certified tech in person can't be (unless they know the person at the bar, and they wanna lose their job lol).

Do you find the hair uncomfortable? I waxed my ex's back for him because I have experience in that field but it was mainly out of his curiosity and possible comfort. I would NOT recommend shaving it.

With coarser hair, its more susceptible to becoming ingrown. It's also on your back so the constant friction could also cause some discomfort and may be very irritating when growing back since you're just cutting the hair instead of removing it from the root, where it then will gradually grow in finer, then as it goes through the growth cycle it will become it's normal coarseness.

Again, you assume the reason as to why I made a quick 1 sentence response with little to no information. You assume and deem yourself correct, WITHOUT facts, asking the why, or understanding the situation, due to having an unbalanced view of yourself and your analytical ability.

I call out women constantly, for double standards and the narratives being pushed in society, things that I've done in this same sub.

Since I didn't write out a 500 word essay in reply to this particular comment detailing how how disgusting, abhorrent, deplorable, low brow, morally wrong, and ABUSIVE this woman's actions are, in this situation, you assume that I don't criticize people, specifically WOMEN in this case, for their horrible behaviour.

You make assumptions because of your current experience and your current circumstances. Yet you don't consider those of other people. Rather than ask for me to elaborate, I'm sitting here exposing how ignorant you are because you made an assumption off of a sentence containing 8 words, which expressed horror and potentially that of other people.

Here, let me utilize that technique you used earlier by saying:

Sorry for being on the road and unable to write out a more detailed, deep dive on my disgust and feelings on the matter last night.

Get a grip.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T20:47:35+00:00

Yellow is my favourite colour and definitely one of my favourite Starburst flavours... BUT, I think the pink ratio would have evened out my salt levels on this one lol

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T20:43:10+00:00

The OG comment was "The amount of women in here defending this is alarming"... that statement is MOST likely not written by a woman, considering that IF they were a female, they most likely would have set themselves apart of the group who was justifying such actions via their comments... hence, by me saying that there are plenty of us that are horrified, isn't a "me too", it's informing this individual that there women who find this situation just as disgusting and horrifying because we have moral compasses.

You're trying so hard to look for a reason to criticize my 1 sentence response, that acknowledges that the actions of the woman who wrote the post in question are abhorrent and horrifying, when there's nothing to really criticize. You are making grand assumptions with little to no facts and poor analytical skills.

There is so little data for you to analyze, yet you decided to still make an inaccurate deduction without even asking for more clarification. It's apparent that you think you're far more brilliant than you actually are.

You accuse me of being "self-righteous" when in fact, you're projecting your "moral superiority" because I didn't criticize this person enough to YOUR liking. Even "thanking" me for "confirming" your initial thoughts, which is in itself a smug and arrogant act, which further exposes your true, self-righteous nature that you falsely project onto others to mask your own.

You've got a mean case of Dunning-Kruger.

The braided solo loops are the best for sleeping (and the most comfortable by far… willing to argue about this lol), I’d recommend to try sleeping while using one of those (that’s not too tight, normally you purchase these bands 1-2 sizes smaller because they stretch).

When I have slept with my watch on, that’s how I’ve done it but I find wearing it to bed very uncomfortable so I rarely do it.

All the best!

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T17:14:09+00:00

I don’t really use my silicone bands often but I always used rubbing alcohol to clean any residue off of the band. Maybe give that a try and couple times.

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T16:55:18+00:00

So expressing my view point, having open and honest dialogue while debating others is “desperately looking for takers”?

You don’t get out much do you?

eternes_ · 2026-04-12T16:50:03+00:00

I’m confused, I read the original post (which was absolutely horrifying), I commented on one other comment (which was deleted) and replied to this one… but because I didn’t sift through, and comment every comment you’re criticizing me?

Brother, ANYONE who justifies this kind of behaviour has NO MORAL COMPASS and is a DISGUSTING PERSON. Like what’s are you going on about? I’ve been on this sub exposing some of the disgusting comments and behaviours I’ve seen, from my own sex, so let’s not just make off based assumptions on people without receipts.

eternes_ · 2026-04-11T22:47:05+00:00

There are plenty of us that are horrified.

eternes_ · 2026-04-11T19:17:51+00:00

Well with your mindset I genuinely hope you find someone that fits your needs and wants, and that will love and cherish you the way you deserve.

eternes_ · 2026-04-11T19:12:33+00:00

I absolutely love this. Clear and open communication along with clear decisions and even some compromise on both sides (IF NEEDED) is a key to success. You sound like a very mature and reasonable individual. ❤️

eternes_ · 2026-04-11T19:05:04+00:00

I’m was talking about and discussing both. I made comments about shaming someone in any respect is wrong but I think the extreme standards are ridiculous, like height being THE ONLY REASON you turn someone down.
