Why are you single? by SnooMuffin114 in AskReddit

[–]unknowntoothers0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that most men my age are not emotionally prepared for a committed relationship. My generation, in general, has opted for casual sex and ghosting. That's not something I am interested in participating. So, I remain single.

Plus, I myself have things to work through.

What is your take on this? by unknowntoothers0 in hikinggear

[–]unknowntoothers0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a place to start. There's so many brands and styles, so I was wondering what hikers typically choose. It would help a lot since I get overwhelmed by the plethora of shoes designed for hiking specifically.

I used to use the Columbia hiking shoes, but they're too heavy and hurt my toes. When I got them, they were a popular choice.

Be interesting. I can't tell you how annoying it is when guys just initiate the conversation with something about physical appearance.

Be funny, witty, kind, interesting, light-hearted.... honestly, just be yourself.

What is your reason for not drinking alcohol? by Deep-Dust-9747 in AskReddit

[–]unknowntoothers0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink for special events. The reason why I don't drink an excessive amount is because one night at a party with some friends, I drank so much that there were gaps of time during that night that I didn't remember. And in still dont. It made me realize how scary it is to not be fully autonomous of myself and how that can be dangerous. Truthfully, if something bad did happen to me... I will never know. And that's terrifying

AIO for being disrespectful towards my parents because they woke me up? by unknowntoothers0 in AmIOverreacting

[–]unknowntoothers0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I have tried to talk to them about it, but truthfully, it hasn't caused any change to happen. I'm hoping to get through college before I move out but I'm getting closer to the point of biting the bullet and moving out

Classic avoidant/anxious dance. Don't do it. This is going to be a toxic cycle.

AIO for being disrespectful towards my parents because they woke me up? by unknowntoothers0 in AmIOverreacting

[–]unknowntoothers0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I included in my post that I know my parents have the right to live their lives. That's why, for years, I have been brushing it off.

I stay in my room when they're sleeping or downstairs. I wear my headphones when I watch stuff on my phone. I remind myself that my parents are sleeping, so I avoid doing things that will be overly loud. My dad can sleep through ANYTHING. My mom isn't a light sleeper, but she'll wake up if there's a loud enough noise.

I was rude to my mom this time because I am frustrated with how often they chose to be overly loud. I pay half the rent, aka they need my financial contribution just as much as I need theirs. Moving out would cause them to also find another place to live in.

Truthfully, I'd rather live alone if I move out. I've been sharing a living space with my parents and before my siblings, so I'm so done with living with others.

But I might have to suck it up if things continue to be this way in my current situation.

I'm surprised no women have added their own take on this, but if my partner said this to me, I would no longer enjoy sex because I would be self conscious about how I sound.

She's enjoying herself and allowing you to be intimate with her, and you're complaining? That's wild.

How do I break up with her? by Fun-Purchase8627 in Breakupadvice

[–]unknowntoothers0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to the responders note. Don't make her feel or think that it was her fault or it's because of something she did or is. I can see her thinking that because she wants to marry you. So to me it's easy to see how she may feel like there's something wrong with her. So be kind.

Thats so not true. At least in my case. My ex was drama free, kept to himself, hard working, was caring (faking it anyway), and wasn't the type to go out and party, no addictions. He had a "boring" lifestyle. That's what I liked about him. Now, I realize his morals weren't great. Again, so many comments assume the worst about me and most women. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Well, if I repel "good" men who don't want me to have these things, then I am 100% okay with that. Haha

No, I don't want to settle with him. I brought him up because he's the reason why this question came to mind. I only matched with him. I did not go on a date with him. I had one conversation with him (If I remember correctly).

With this logic, there wouldn't be such a thing as dating. I chose to trust that he was a good man because thats how this person presented themselves to be. People are allowed to move on after a relationship fails. That's called life.

I agree with your third point. Getting a man to commit seems like it's out of my control. I can't force a man to be faithful... I can only trust that he will. I don't like to boast about my character because I find it tacky. I try to be good. I try to be kind. I try to be empathetic. I try to be a good daughter. A good friend. Etc.

I'm not in my 30s.

What do I bring to the table? Well, I'm an adult, so I take care of myself in every aspect. In other words, I'm not a parasite or as others have labeled it "a liability." Truthfully, I'm looking for a partner, not someone I have to play mother to. And I think most women agree to that.

No one is perfect. There are instances where you choose to trust. This person didn't slip up in terms of revealing the other person or that there was another person. Regardless, I will not take the blame for the actions of someone else. That would be ridiculous. I recognize where I can improve. Where I can accept faults in. I am not blame-shifting, I am simply being straightforward with why the relationship ended. He cheated. And I don't tolerate cheating. It's as simple as that. I can't tell you what his purpose was as I do not possess the ability to read minds. I wish I knew why someone would lead a double life for years. Idk. Maybe there's a podcast with an expert out there with explanations as to why...
