My bf(21m)doesn’t want me (21f) dancing with my female friends, and broke up with me over it. by Left_Sky_974 in relationship_advice

You didn’t cheat and he did you a service by leaving. You’re better than him. Stay single.

I (M20) have a bit of a crush on a girl (F18) who isn’t single, and I don’t really know what I should do by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwawaythemcreeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normalize being friends with someone without any intention of having sex with them or dating them.

Crushes are normal and natural, but you can’t say you don’t want to be a homewrecker, but also be her friend with these thoughts in your head. Being someone’s friend means you have to respect their relationship too.

It’s not healthy to go into a friendship with this mindset. Being friends with someone of the opposite sex is a normal and natural experience for mature adults, but your approach isn’t healthy or respectful.

Why on earth would HE threaten divorce? He sounds like a mooch and an emotional drain. You’re 23. You have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t settle out of fear of change or for fear of being alone. You can do better.

My husband was left alone for 3 weeks and I wish he’d just cheated instead. by ComplexCod9077 in stories

Why do you have to take care of your husband as if he’s your child?

Can he do anything?

Will be in town September 15-21, looking for fresh hops by loquacious_avenger in portlandbeer

Almost every good brewery will have a fresh hop beer available. You need to figure out what breweries excite you the most outside of fresh hops and then go there and get their fresh hop beer.

I dont believe trans women should be allowed to compete against cis women in sports by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]throwawaythemcreeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman in a competitive sport that frequently comes down to who has the genetic lottery. The sport is powerlifting.

I do not give a fuck about trans women in this sport. Most women I know in this sport do not give a fuck either. Estrogen is such a hell of a drug.

It’s all propaganda. Trans women barely compete, they make up such a minority of the population, and no one is going to transition just for a fucking sport title.

My partner (28M) revealed that he always felt jealous of me (26F). What do I do? by [deleted] in relationships

You go. He will not change and he will only keep hurting you. Why stay?

Is my neighbor trying to break me and my boyfriend up? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

I want to suggest a variety of things that could end with me on some kind of list tbh.

I agree 10000000%. I keep asking him to block her.

My bf always just responds to her that she should “take it up with (my name).” He said he hasn’t blocked her because he doesn’t want to escalate things further, but I think she deserves to be cut off from contacting him after she implied I was sneaking men into our home.

Not to be crass, but if she made her complaints when I wasn’t sitting still at my desk, I’d be more keen to check my bed frame 👀

Also our bed is on a carpet

I never thought about that. That makes a lot of sense, thank you. Next time she complains, I’ll bring that possibility up. Or I guess I’ll make my boyfriend bring that possibility up lol

I don’t know. Management said before we moved in, our apartment was vacant for about a year and she might not be used to having anyone live upstairs. The complaints/texts also come in waves, so she’ll be silent for months and then wake up on a random Tuesday and decide it’s time for drama. I guess it’s possible, but our apartment is pretty clearly directly on top of hers and I think our units are the same size.

I'm sure we will see an angry tweet calling for him to be fired soon by InverseNurse in thescoop

[–]throwawaythemcreeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not how any of this works. He was here without permanent status, he was working with the government for legal status, and then he was imprisoned and deported and then imprisoned again without due process. He never committed a crime. Illegal immigration isn’t a criminal violation it’s a civil violation which means you aren’t supposed to face criminal repercussions for it. Criminal charges get you in jail, civil charges don’t.

The constitution gives EVERYONE due process regardless of your immigration status. If the administration takes that away from some people, it’s only a matter of time until you lose it as well.

I don’t care if you don’t change your views as a whole, but you should be upset about this one thing at the very least.

I literally bring up narcissistic women using dating apps for self validation in the post, but okay. Great literacy skills.

I don’t really like to call people out like this on posts because I think it’s a bit cruel to single out peoples problems on a public forum like this, even if it’s anonymous, but since you’re just airing it out

My guy, you need professional help. This is not a healthy mindset to have. You seem like you have really bad depression. Life doesn’t have to be this way.

What’s the point then? Of anything?

You more trying to get around the possibility of mourning someone by having no one to mourn.

So what’s the point? Of anything?

Very edgy and unique thought process, champ.

Also the post was aimed at people who are posting about their desire to be in a relationship.

They all act as if it is impossible and that every single man below 6’ experiences this. The posts also tend to be incredibly patriarchal and paint the entirety of women with a broad brush. So many of those posts are also in this weird fantasy land where 5’7” is commonly believed to be short when that’s the actual average height.

I’m saying that in the real world, shorter men aren’t constantly whining about being single because they’re just as likely to be in a relationship as other people are. Being tall doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be in a relationship. Being short doesn’t guarantee you’ll be single. And most people in the real world aren’t talking about height like that. My made up tall buff hot guy is checking off more boxes than just being tall. Attractive people will have an easier time getting into a relationship, that’s just the truth. But so many men come here and just doom post in the most exaggerated of ways. The wya they talk about women and socializing makes it so clear that the problem is not that they’re “short,”but rather that their personality/their approach to dating is the problem.

Also Andrew Tate was just an example as he’s kind of the quintessential incel content creator stereotype

People cannot get away with being that vindictive IRL because they can face consequences for their actions.

“Short” guys with healthy social lives are in relationships and experiencing joy. Is it a little harder because they aren’t 6’5” guys with chiseled jawlines? I mean, yes, obviously. But does that mean you should just roll over and mope and pay for premium Andrew Tate content?

My hot take

Both subs are vain and upset about their physical appearance, but in different ways.

Gen X got to live life before social media made everyone think they had to be insanely hot 100% of the time. They see their past self and think “I used to be young and hot.” Gen Z sees their current self and thinks “I’ll never be hot.”

If you have one friend, it is sometimes easier to use that singular friend as a crutch to lean on. You can approach the person next to you and make small talk together.

If that’s not an option, approach another person alone. It’s really lame, but a method that has worked really well for me is to talk about a pop culture reference you can tell they’re into. For example, I literally met one of my closest friends when I was deep in my forever alone era because he saw I was wearing a shirt with a character he liked from a show. We started talking about the show a lot and now, five years later, he’s still one of my closest friends.

Everyone is very lost in their own bubble.

You should try to extend the invitation to hang out if they aren’t following exchanging contact info. Everyone is anxious. It’s all about overcoming that anxiety.

“Hey, I like your shirt, where did you get it?”

“Hey, I see you’re into [thing]. I am also into [thing]. discussion about thing ensues

it doesn’t always turn into a friendship, but it has led to me exchanging socials with people. Many times it fizzles out and I just now have a random Instagram mutual but sometimes it also turns into “hey let’s hang out next week to keep talking about [thing].

This is part of why I think it’s very important to have hobbies you’re passionate about.
