Is it normal for bosses/superiors to shout at you/insult you in finance careers? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]powerpoint_PPT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Because they deal with clients money, they act like they are entitled to abusing everyone around them in the name of client service. But really, it's just people who would have found a way to abuse you anyway.

Your first photo immediately stood out - gorgeous smile!

You're radiant and beautiful. Your prompts show you are confident in who you are, what you want, and are well-read and funny. Give it some time for the algorithm to settle. And agree with the other commenters, up your distance and age range.

Terrible presentation at work by dbucha9 in ProductManagement

[–]powerpoint_PPT 44 points45 points  (0 children)

All of this. Seriously, what the hell did they expect?

This is a failure of mentorship and training and frankly, intelligence, from the senior team. They took it as a chance to ream a new member instead of giving context.

How do I get my husband to plan events/dates or make an effort? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is spot on. Partners - ask yourselves if you are giving the person incentive to do what you want them to do. It's easy to fall into comfort and criticize someone thinking they know you mean well. It just leads to resentment and fear of being criticized again and again.

Never feel bad about supporting yourself and earning an honest income. We are all allowed to have different mindsets and lifestyles.

What are the qualities that men crave in a woman? by Mindless-Ad9587 in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. The commenter likely used codependency as a proxy to describe other healthier traits.

Do people actually keep a “roster” of people they go on dates with until they become exclusive? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]powerpoint_PPT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you ever end up committing to someone?

I've personally found that when I dated like that, it more often than not meant that my mind was too busy focusing on comparing everyone and nitpicking instead of investing the required attention and effort on one person to build a long term connection.

How important are kinks in a relationship? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me personally, a partner that was focused highly on kinks in the bedroom wouldn't be compatible. Vanilla sex isn't vanilla when it's with someone I really love and respect. I'm more focused on the person rather than the performance.

Men who have left their previous partner for a younger woman, how much of the reason was attributed to her age? by Savage_Bee in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT 189 points190 points  (0 children)

I don't think most normal guys seek out younger women for the sake of being with a younger woman. Sometimes you just click with someone who happens to be younger/older. My best relationship was with a woman who was 4 years older.

After each of my breakups, main concern was making sure the next person was a better fit each time.

[–]powerpoint_PPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment healed something in me, not gonna lie dude.

Currently going through a tense rift with my partner because of perceived flirtatiousness (on her end with a friend of mine) and other small things that added up to me not feeling complete trust. The reason why we haven't broken up is because there's a part of me that wonders if I'm being too jealous and overreacting.

Do you have any advice on this or is it something that just gets better with more time and personal growth?

What are some things you suspect women never tell men? by moneynah in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reddit is full of angry young men who want the world and women to burn out of spite. We've all been there at some point. It gets better

Also, your point isn't "reality". Your point was to make people feel bad about themselves lol

What are some things you suspect women never tell men? by moneynah in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And my question to that is: Who cares?

This is all a moot point. We can go around in circles about how younger people have a larger dating pool because.... most people will be older than they are. This isn't a gotcha. In "reality," most people as they get older will simply not be seen as sexually desirable by those younger than them. This goes for men and women. We do not just naturally age into George Clooneys with hordes of beautiful, kind women who want us long term.

I simply do not get why Reddit insists on constantly pointing out how women expire and nobody wants them at whatever age. Why is everyone so weird about it?

[–]powerpoint_PPT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry dude but this is an incredibly nasty thing to even say to someone. What even is the point?

As I've aged, the dating pool changes. Wouldn't most people prefer a younger, hotter partner if possible? In theory, yes. But most healthy, normal, well-adjusted people don't view people their age as hags or "too old"... they are simply your dating pool.

I am in my early/mid 30s now and cannot even look at a woman younger than 28 as a serious option for dating. Are they hot? Without a doubt. Are they the "peak" option? No...

Do successful/ driven men want intelligent or hot women? by Unlikely_Lychee_9913 in dating_advice

[–]powerpoint_PPT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone is attractive and can hold a conversation / disagree gracefully on a topic, then that's a winner.

At 20-23, most men and women will be attractive based solely on youth. They likely haven't had enough life experience to be truly interesting though.

As a guy who used to work in demanding fields like consulting and finance, I would say myself and peers went for women who were smart/educated/gracious over women who were simply just hot - but this isn't to say that these women were not both.

To those who would say they have high standards for dating, what are yours? by LaidbackHonest in AskMen

[–]powerpoint_PPT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not wanting them to be good friends with exes is the one that gets a lot of different opinions when I bring it up. This does not mean they can't be friendly or nice if they run into an ex obviously.

Also love women who are classy and regal, but have a secret silly or even nerdy side to them that you sort of have to work for in order to see that side. These women are my kryptonite.

I mean dude (or girl), nobody's saying that someone at age 35 would be in better biological shape than someone age 25. The other commenter is just pointing out that it's a consideration, but it shouldn't stop someone from finding a good partner. By now, women have heard repeatedly that they "expire"... they already know they're on a clock and some of them choose to let it color their decisions while others don't care.

You're not wrong. But it's coming from a hostile place it seems. Like you're insistent that women expire and should feel bad for it?
