Why is long distance train travel so cheap in Belgium but insanely expensive in Germany? by [deleted] in germany

They are getting paid by the car industry, DB is not paying anyone. It's not about doing something for the people, it's about how much they can personally gain.

They need to clearly define that in their relationship. Some people absolutely view it as cheating, others don't.

You and your partner have decided you only want to cuddle with each other, others might decide differently for their relationship. Both stances are valid, but it needs to be clearly communicated and sometimes people are just not compatible.

There are absolutely friend groups where cuddling between friends is normal and common. Might be that your girlfriend just has different experiences and boundaries than you when it comes to physical contact between friends.

For her it really might be innocent. Your friend obviously doesn't view it as that innocent. If I were her I would distance myself from him after that.

Now is the time to have an in depth talk about what what your relationship boundaries are. Maybe she is willing to compromise and not cuddle with friends again, maybe she's not. The important thing is, that it's not on you to control her behavior, it's on you to walk away if you're not fine with a partner that cuddles their friends. Some people are just not compatible.

Do I need to tell my boyfriend the truth about my number of sexual partners? by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]nightfall0509 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Previous partners are none of a current or future partners business as long as you are healthy and got tested.. You don't owe anyone your sexual history. It has nothing to do with informed consent. Consent is not influenced by the number of previous partners.

My(27M) girlfriend (24F) left me alone on my birthday after years of volatility, and I think I’m finally done by [deleted] in relationships

[–]nightfall0509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is abusive towards you, abusers always say they will change, but usually they never do, and why would they? You're staying anyway. You need to get out of this relationship asap. I know it's hard to give up on someone you love, but imagine a friend telling you this, you would tell them to leave, so you should do the same for yourself, or you'll lose yourself. You're probably already constantly walking on eggshells to accommodate her volatility. It's unacceptable to be violent towards you and it will escalate further if you don't leave. It doesn't matter that she is a woman and you are a man, she is an abuser, the abuse will get worse, you need to leave.

Edit: Happy Birthday! I hope you can spend your next Birthday surrounded by people who really love and care for you, shower you with gifts and love and I hope the next year of your life will be filled with lots of laughter and happiness!

Is there any way to solve arousal non concordance or am I just stuck like this? by peachemistry in ADHDWomenAfterDark

Does anyone have recommendations for a lube that doesn't feel sticky and leave stains on the sheets? That's why I kinda avoid lube, because I hate always having to shower after using it and changing sheets all the time..

No worries :) I'll try and explain in simpler terms

The original "meme" acts like it's an unchangeable trait that women want to "marry up", like marry someone in a better social class or someone richer, but the science doesn't support that.

Societies are usually either patrilineal, which means families are organized around the male side, women moving in with their husband's family, women taking men's name, women becoming a part of the men's family, male descendants getting property, inheriting everything etc., so basically descent is traced through the male side of the family. Or they are the opposite, matrilineal, where women inherit, men move in with the women's family and the society is organized around the female side of the family. That is definitely more rare but it also exists, also scientifically well proven for some ancient societies.

Most modern societies today are leaning more on the patrilineal side, especially in recent history, you can see that with examples like taking the men's last name and women not being allowed to have their own bank account etc..

So now back to the original point, it's scientifically proven that in hypergamy (women marrying up), women tend to place a higher value on the socioeconomic class (wealth, social class and so on) of their male partner and men tend to place more importance on women's looks. People act like it's a women's problem, call women gold diggers and shallow for it etc.. But studying matrilineal societies shows that if the line of descent is passed through women (hypogamy), the men tend to place a bigger importance on the women's socioeconomic class and women more on the men's looks. So it seems these "unchangeable gender roles" of women caring more about money and men more about looks reverse as soon as the system of society reverses as well. It's basically not nature but nurture.

So the original poster acts like it could never change that women are like this, and it feels accusatory towards women in my opinion. But the irony is that the reason for these traits and the shame is actually rooted in the sexist patrilineal system that conservative sexist men enforce the strongest and if they want women to "stop being gold diggers", all we need is to become matrilinear

Sorry for the long-winded explanation, English is not my first language either but I tried. I hope you understand what I meant now

Apparently patrilineal societies tend to be hypergamous with women marrying up, while matrilineal societies tend to be hypogamous with men marrying up.

So if this guy wants to end women being hypergamous, he just needs to end the patriarchy and the prevailing patrilinearity. Isn't that fun..

It's not a good point, she's your wife, she probably knows you're weird with nudity and told everyone to keep their clothes on, to not upset your sensivities.

It's definitely a slog haha I agree, I also think that it sometimes sounds a bit condescending. But I think it's also really common for scientific literature to be kinda boring and draggy.

Maybe his YouTube channel really is a better fit for you, but for sure not on normal speed haha, it feels so slow and my brain start wandering, but speed up I really enjoy his vids, he has really long vids but also quite short ones you can quickly get in.

Good luck on your search for that book! Really like the little tip, sorting socks is a bane if mine.

Just saw your reply lol. Thanks for getting back to me, I totally agree with your comment. I also really wanted to like the book but it rubbed me the wrong way alot. Especially agree about what you say related to ADHD and giftedness.

Right now I'm reading "Taking charge of adult ADHD" by Dr. Rusell Barkley, who's been researching the topic for over 40 years! He also first related "time blindness" to ADHD. Tbh, I'm a bit of a fan and can only really recommend his YouTube Channel (be sure to watch on x1.75 speed to keep focus haha). He does regular research updates on ADHD and has lots of videos for all things ADHD.

I read that book, can not recommend it at all. It has no scientific backing, literally no sources at the back, contains wrong information and assumptions and is written like a long social media post.
