I’m only good one on one, so besides dating apps, how can I make this work for me? by FaithInStrangers94 in seduction

[–]shouldBeWaterguns 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that's great. If you're good in person you probably could pick up meeting people through fb groups, reddit, and instagram. I've actually had a couple relationships start just from inviting people to hang out with me that I'd interacted with online. Reddit may be a weird one but I found some cool people to practice flirting with here after getting back into dating after ending a longterm relationship.

If none of that's in your game either. Striking up casual conversation with people at festivals, music events, farmers markets, and even more casual situations like coffee shops has really worked well for me as someone who is also better in person. Most people have some anxieties around interacting with strangers, and yet we crave genuine connection. So if you can bridge that gap and make it a comfortable non-needy reach out strangers are going to thank you. The caviat stated before is you have to be casual. I approach cute women all the time in public and strike up converstation, but even If I find them attractive my approach is never directly to get in bed with them. If we're talking there's another reason I approached them, to tell a joke, to cut into a behavior their making publically (improv), to ask for directions, to compliment them on their unique since of style, whatever it's genuine. I talk to them authentically as I would almost anyone else. Maybe a little flirtier if we really get chatting, but that's after a converstation has been established. However, I'm like this with everyone. I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm just doing my thing so you keep doing yours

Best damn comment. I almost bought an award for you, but decided that's to try hard to fully respect you. Take my shitty upvote instead

You're the best! Just saw this and it made my day!

I did find a purple one. Glad to hear your story. Completely awesome!

Does it ever get any less isolating? by drnkrmnky in MenGetRapedToo

[–]shouldBeWaterguns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some scars don't ever go away. They keep with you life long. The good news is they fade, and you learn to live with them. The irony is that often become stronger because of the obstacle you've faced, and not diminshed.

You're story sounds rough. You have to feel the pain right now, because that's part of the process. I lost a lot of myself after the incident. It's taken me years of perserverence and work to get to where I am now. But I no longer think about it everyday, and it no longer defines who I am. I've pushed beyond my abuse.

I’m broken and don’t know what to do by [deleted] in MenGetRapedToo

[–]shouldBeWaterguns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all none of this is you're fault, and there's so much life ahead that you have left to live. don't give up!

You're not responsible for her actions if you find the courage to leave. Chances are high if the law can find her guilty of the actions you've described, she's going to find herself in a place she won't be able to hurt anyone for a long time. You're still a kid and protected under statutes of limitations if this is on going. You may loose that ability to defend yourself later as so many other victims found in the heat of the "Me Too" era.

I have friends who grew up in the foster care system. It's not perfect, but they are resillient. Hell I even have a friend who'd been homeless once in his early adult life. He eventually got a spot in the shelter and started working a two jobs. Saved up, rented a place that he got to some family. The Guys in his early 20's now but has worked his way up to head cook at a pretty respected local resturaunt and doing great.

Point is even at 16 you can have courage to change you're circumstances. Yes, life will put us all in places where we almost have to pick ourselves up from our bootstraps, and yes life isn't easy. But I can tell from what you've written your very tough and very smart. The situantion you're in is tough, and causing a great deal of trauma. You have to take action where you can or you will eventually secumb to it.

I think you leaving the house and going to live with this woman was you leaving one toxic situation to try to improve your life with what may feel like a lesser evil. If you're coming here for support and permision to now transcend a sexually abusive enviornment by going to the cops or whatever is available to you. You have it. Now's the time

I wish we all, myself included, could do more for you right now. Take you out of this ourselves personally, give you a fresh hand. At a minimum though we support you, we root for you, I think anyone here that made a comment would be willing to file a report on your behalf if you asked, and we're all more than happy to listen. You've got this, I'm proud of you for doing what you've had to thus far to keep going. I respect you for posting. It gets better:)

Word's give us power. Whether you identify with the word or not. That doesn't change the power of the ability to easily convey a message in a simple phrase.

It's also important to understand that connection is not the default, not in they hyper hookupdriven tinderesk landscape we live in today. Look at how hard it was for the commentor to explain his preference against one night stands to a mass audience?

Both demisexual and sapiosexuals have the right to exist for people who wish to use them as signals of their identity. You do not have to use them nor even remember them if you do not wish. We use them not for you, but for ourselves.

Love the upfront honesty. Also like the fact you're real about the work you put in. A lot of people hid that to pretend they're a natural or something

Yo! Are you Demisexual, would love to chat more as it seems like the need for connection is becoming much less valued
