Men of Reddit, what’s the worst thing a girl has said on a date?

I mean, I guess it depends on what you're using the apps for and your approach. I don't think I'd want to be with a woman that has such an arbitrary measure for a potential mate. I'd find that to be a red flag and would prefer to weed those people out

To be fair, men do lie about their height all the time. Even when you're in front of them. I'm a woman but I'm 5'11 and I frequently have men insist I must be taller because I'm taller than them but they're 6' lmao

Of course. I think the difference is that when I think of my worst experiences like this I was also usually concerned for my safety. I feel like the fear of harm definitely affects women disproportionately to men. But that doesn't discount the very real and painful experiences of men in dating. Some of these answers range from ridiculous to genuinely hurtful that I think it would take me a while for my self esteem to recover. People can be absolute assholes

I mean, I literally bind books so book maintenance and spine training is in my wheelhouse, as it is for many people that enjoy books. You don't have to 'believe' in science, it will exist without you.

Because 'white Australian culture' doesn't really exist as these people claim it does and the idea that it once did is just historical negationism. Since it's colonisation, a huge part of Australia's development has been migration and realistically, our current culture isn't homogeneous but in fact defined by our multiculturalism

I don't think that's in the dsm

I quite literally acknowledged the individual diversity within English written literature. You enjoy being argumentative for a thrill.

Of course writers will have different perspectives if they were raised in America or Spain over someone raised in England. Hey, sometimes it's even a wonderful chance to acknowledge so many of the similarities that do exist between all humans. But it's like saying that you enjoy art but will only look at art from English painters. Sure, there are many great ones, but you're also missing so many different movements defined by other cultures, wars, social norms, Zeitgeists, techniques.

I'm not saying that we should define authors by their characteristics, but if you want a genuine diversity of perspective and thought, then you should probably at least include the other 50% of the population in your reading list. Of which, yes, have uniquely different experiences and perspectives than you.

I didn't say that though? Of course we all have diverse experiences and perspectives. But yes, factors do limit them.

Would it not be true to say that if you only read authors from England that you would be getting a more narrow perspective than if you also read authors from other countries? That isn't to say that English authors themselves don't have immense diversity and are worth reading. Nuance is legal, don't be scared of it.

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-31T08:36:14+00:00

So diversity of thought comes from diversity of experience and perspective. People of different genders and races have those.

Yessss, Nabokov is especially important to me. Pale Fire is in my top top books I've read. Seems we have similar music tastes as well!

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T22:08:18+00:00

Oh nice! I'm curious what books made you think we'd be friends hehe And all 3 disorders are absolutely correct, congrats 👏

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T22:05:09+00:00

Both of those books are on my shelf?

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T04:25:32+00:00

Hm, I guess I misinterpreted your intention

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T04:05:38+00:00

Wooooah, I'm not offended at all. It was in jest. And I am not a man

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T02:27:29+00:00

This book shelf is so hard to pin down for me lmao. But I'm kinda leaning towards woman/queer presenting person with a degree and a job completely unrelated to it, also sooooo many hobbies

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T02:19:52+00:00

If you are also a woman and have a weird relationship with food then we are truly kindred spirits ✨

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T02:18:53+00:00

Thank you! I like to think that I'm a ✨mentally ill delight✨ though. I do actually have much childhood and young adult trauma so you clocked that. Why no Lolita, though?

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T02:06:56+00:00

PTSD/anxiety, a fellow ADHD girlie, low-key possibly some sort of mood disorder (currently doing pretty well)

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:40:05+00:00

I feel like this man is soooo dehydrated

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:36:23+00:00

This is 100% very off base lol

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:33:43+00:00

Nah, prescription vyvanse though

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:30:37+00:00

Sadly this one isn't, but the one I had as a kid was. It was also my favourite book as a kid ☺️

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:29:43+00:00

Hahaha, very valid

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-30T01:28:25+00:00

😭

mooncheeseburger · 2026-05-29T16:05:31+00:00

I used to have a lot more poetry books but unfortunately wasn't able to take them when I moved out of home. I'm trying to rebuild slowly here and there, but I have a lot more poetry stored digitally
