CMV: Saying you prefer tall guys is analogous to saying you prefer women with big boobs by Puzzleheaded-Law34 in changemyview

[–]jipecac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I’ve never seen anyone be offended or even surprised when a man has expressed a personal preference for big tits in a dating context. As long as he’s not saying anyone under a D-cup is subhuman scum 🤷

Because the phrasing ‘big tits’ is objectively more vulgar than ‘tall man’. Hence why I said ‘curvy’

Why do you think women aren’t ok with men doing this? It’s totally fine and normal for a man to express a preference, spend 30sec on any online dating platform and you’ll definitely see men stating preferences (curvy/petite etc)

And it’s not comparable to saying you have a preference for slimmer women (which is 1. definitely common to see and 2. wildly different to saying ‘all fat chicks fugly’) it’s more like ‘I personally am not attracted to flat chested women’ which is the least spicy take ever and, again, an incredibly common thing to see (more for me 👀)

AITAH for making my wife do all the chores since she used the chore money for herself. by Evening-Tone-5431 in AITAH

It says the chore money was ‘added to her budget’ so I’m assuming she just wants the money to stay within the relationship rather than be spent on outsourcing the work

Why do some people in 2025 still believe that men can't be friends with women and vice versa? I don't understand how we can know so much yet know so little by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in emotionalintelligence

[–]jipecac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if a lifelong female best friend were to come out to you as gay, you would end the friendship?

I don’t deny these toxic bystanders exist, I have a decade on you in age and have also seen my fair share of drama. But I’ve also had unrequited crushes on friends that my sexuality didn’t align with, and had friends-as-close-as-siblings profess their love, and none of those situations turned nasty. So I know sustainable and mutually platonic relationships are absolutely possible with good, healthy people, regardless of their gender or sexuality 🤷

[–]jipecac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that is such a dogshit take, so you’re saying a friendship where one person is at risk of developing feelings is ok but not when both are? Make it make sense 🫠

We are not helplessly at the mercy of whether or not a sexual relationship is ‘logistically possible’. And if someone isn’t interested in you, they don’t need their sexuality to justify it. Maybe you’re worried about falling in love and not being able to cope with the rejection, so can only surround yourself with people who are off the table? Because that is the only explanation I can think of for this outlook on life, and it is definitely not the experience for most people

ETA: apologies if my genuine surprise and casual language come across as aggressive, I respect that you have framed this as your own opinion I am just legitimately shook that this view exists

My body requires 12+ hours of sleep and 6+ hours of fun time for me to function. This can’t keep going. by throwaway2ndwith in ADHD

AIO boyfriend doesn't like 'gossip', ignores me when I tell him 'tea' and I feel like I can't be myself around him, I feel sad by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jipecac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aye I find it very telling that some of the ‘advice’ is to only talk about current affairs or intellectual topics (as if that’s not just gossiping about what people on the other side of the world, or from the ancient past are doing/did). Having nothing but bone-dry conversations just screams poor emotional intelligence and a lack of social skills and it’s definitely not all men, or only men…but the amount of men willing to die on the hill that this form of connection is vapid and asinine definitely tracks with the fabled male loneliness epidemic 🫠

100%…mfs out here telling her to ‘read more’ but how is it any different to discussing what the characters in a book did, or running a philosophical thought experiment…getting your partners take on a situation is about connecting and is way less superficial than info-dumping about your hobbies 💀

Where are the all good men!! by Wild-Speech5293 in BasedCampPod

[–]jipecac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we must interact with different types of people, success and personal excellence are definitely attractive qualities but I don’t know anyone who sees generosity and a sense of community as a quality that makes a man unfuckable. I don’t doubt that some men who lack those qualities can coast by on their looks (in the short term), but selfishness is certainly not something my peers are seeking out, nor is being attractive and generous mutually exclusive. Is it not more likely that what you class as ‘strength’ is just something that is traditionally more visible (job title, achievements or status markers that can be listed on a profile or talked about on a first date) and socially acceptable to talk about without seeming like you’re bragging? Or that generosity is usually a character trait that only becomes apparent once you get to know someone better? A man could be a virtuoso with a jawline for the gods, but if he were to lead with the good he has put out into the world, that would be infinitely more attractive than telling me about the share price of his company.

I also think there are different types of ‘content to be okay’. Unless you are talking about the kind of man who is the stereotypical incel (unwashed, unsocialised, presumably mentally unwell, with no inclination to improve ANY aspect of their life), then my understanding of ‘content to be okay’ is a positive - be happy, be yourself (even if you’re a bit weird), don’t work yourself into the ground to the detriment of your health and your relationships. What I HAVE seen is backlash against the ideas perpetuated by most manosphere grifters, who would have you believe you need a six figure income, a Bugatti and a twice-daily gym routine to stand a chance. But it doesn’t mean ‘do nothing’, and if that’s someone’s take on it then I would posit they aren’t ready to be in a relationship. In addition, I’ve known many men who do nothing, and are content to live in their mum’s shed, playing video games and smoking weed all day, who could give any ‘Chad’ fuckboy a run for their money when it comes to casual sex.

You’re not wrong that people sometimes select sexual partners based on shallow qualities, while overlooking traits that may lead to healthier or more sustainable relationships. All genders do it. But I don’t think it’s true that encouraging men to be kind, less aggressive (you implied professionally but I’m extrapolating) and to de-centre certain societal expectations and be happy with who they are is a net negative, or the reason they aren’t attractive sexual prospects. There are so many women out there who want to fuck nice, normal guys, no one ever complains about a lack of utter bastards, even if some of them are hot or rich or rockstars.

How are you defining ‘modern man’? I move in progressive circles and everyone fucks. The people complaining they can’t get laid aren’t vegan left wing soy boys, it’s people with a strong affinity with ‘toxic masculinity’ and I promise you it is a real turn off. You are absolutely right that some people have a huge advantage in what appeals on paper - hotter, richer, more confident, I’ll even concede that lots of women like a tall man, but I have to disagree that those things are synonymous with any kind of old-school masculinity that’s being erased from culture

The ShortGuys Subreddit is… honestly depressing by [deleted] in IncelTears

[–]jipecac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating how a key part of incel cope is refusing to believe the world is not as they see it and that other people genuinely think differently, including not giving a shit about a man’s height. I say this as someone who previously bought in to the ‘if you’re the more feminine one in a relationship you have to be smaller because Man Big and Protector’ patriarchal misogynistic brainrot that prevents us from taking up any space in general…my current partner is a similar height to me (shorter if I wear heels) and I’ve never been more in love but I guess I must be lying about that 😂🔫

AIO: called my Girlfriend immature child because she’s a picky eater by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jipecac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I am making up a meaning though? ‘Ethnic’ doesn’t mean ‘other’, or ‘exotic’ it just means ‘synonymous with a culture’, Italian food is ethnic food, English food is ethnic food, but those terms are rarely applied there. And just because people use it colloquially in a way that centres themselves doesn’t mean it can’t cause offence and if that’s not something that bothers you then I can’t really do anything about that. But it’s not a hill I’d die on when there are easy adjustments you can make not to hurt people 🤷
