I'm a cishet dude. I think sex is awesome. but I don't understand the need to fuck everything that moves.

I get it, women can be very beautiful, sexy, cute, pretty, cool, whatever... there's all kinds of nice. and I do appreciate that a lot. I do appreciate seeing a woman who's any of those things. even none of those things. but I don't get ... like why do you feel the need to fuck every single person? friends are so fulfilling. the endless thirst is weird.

edit: please don't come at me with evo psych shit. can't believe people actually do this still. shitting is a biological drive too, but I don't look at every surface as a toilet because I understand that it's appropriate to shit at a toilet but not on a driveway. I think it's possible to respect women as much as you can respect driveways to not see them as objects to your so-called biological drive.

also how come women don't try fuck everything with a dick? you think it's not biological for women? come on.

no the answer isn't evolution or biology. it's sociology. we need to educate and socialize our boys better.

Meanwhile I had the opposite problem. Lots of friends that happened to be girls. Then they find a partner, and the conversations, meetups and discussions fizzle away, especially if I stop initiating contact. I then learn years down the line "oh yeah I had such a huge crush on you" or "I'da fucked your brains out" or some other combination. And then general blaming for me not "making the move" like no shit, I treated you as a friend. If you wanted that, just say it openly please

Hot girl problems. It's a real thing and leads to a tremendous amount of loneliness for them. If you are very clear and the guys aren't all invested already, then it's a great way to start a legit friendship. Problem is that with a lot of cute girls, they have had so many bad experiences with guys putting them in the girlfriend zone that they just end up jaded.

It's our responsibility as individuals never to get jaded, and also to be honest with ourselves about what kind of energy are we putting out there. Is the OP crossing boundaries with these guys, suggesting they may become more by accepting their overly nice gestures, actions, texts and gifts? If not, then it's the guys fault.

She could always make some girl friends but we all know how difficult THAT is. Hot women need some accountabilityv though if they're ever going to get out of this rut

Girl needs a gayfriend.

Gay dudes get all the ladies.

Perhaps instead of teasing the queer kids in highschool, Chad's shoulda been taking notes.

This a premium shitpost. I fucking love it

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hits too close to truth to qualify for a shitpost. And I am saying that as a man, observing...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Who says satire/shitpostery can't cut close to the bone? The best ones are the ones that make us evaluate ourselves under a critical lens.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't dispute the point for satire, but shitposts never struck me as being concerned with reality... Maybe I just misunderstand the genre.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I'm with you. My understanding of the term "shitpost" is that it's, by definition, low-effort and/or low-quality.

I'm guessing most of the younger crowd here has never seen When Harry Met Sally.

I hate that this is satire but also pretty much true. Men are not generally socialized to recognize uncomplicated, unsexual fondness for a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

On the flipside it was very difficult as a nerdy nice guy to get some women to understand that when I said lets do x I really meant as friends because not everyone is actually sexually interested in you. Sometimes I just wanted to see a movie with someone I thought was a friend

The thing about socialization is that it's ongoing throughout life. A guy having male friends who can tell him "idk bro sounds like platonic affection" can help him learn even as an adult

Eh, I'm just aplatonic. I don't get anything from friendship and I generally don't understand it. It makes it very difficult to date.

I'm not sure I'm even capable of not wanting to sleep with a woman that I get along well with. Like, I don't ACT on those feelings so as not to fuck up good friendship but they are there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

This is basically the plot of When Harry Met Sally.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

It's okay to feel like that, you just need to be in control of your actions and in your case you are! So good job

That has mixed success for various women in my experience.

Do what I do: Be fat and ugly. Not only will you not be in the girlfriend zone, men will go out of their way to make sure you know they "don't see you that way" regardless if you were interested or not.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I'm fat and ugly but I did start putting out mad lesbian energy (I'm queer but not strictly into any one gender) and men now just think I won't be into them either way so they just talk to me like a human. To think of all the friendships I lost to shitty guys in my 20s when I could've just said I was gay the whole time....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

if you lost the friendships because you aren't gay then they weren't going to be any good. that's not losing friendships that's you being neo dodging all the bullshit coming your way

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yey to us fat chicks! for real when I was super fit and beatiful having friends was hard, even at work! Now that I'm fat I'm much more relaxed, have a nice mixed (men and women) group of friends and don't worry about bosses wanting to fuck me

Edit: Also I want to add 2 things for the younger ones:

  1. A bad relationship is worst than no relationship

  2. If you are not happy and confortable by yourself you'll never be happy with someone else

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 days ago

Oof.

And that username; double oof.
