No one cares that you like listening to Taylor Swift, you’re not special because you get a pedicure every couple of months, literally everyone likes watching Mean Girls. At first I thought simply locking the post and shaming the OP would be good enough to get them to go down in frequency, but they’re literally being posted every 12 fucking hours now, and this shit is old af

So here’s the situætion: posting this question is now a 24hr Ban. Not as long as the forever alone temp ban (cause let’s be honest, this is just one mod being salty af) but juuuuuust long enough to let y’all know not to do it again.

E: “When was the last time you cried” is gonna be added to the list too 👌🏿

Since it’s wrapping up the year, how was everyone’s year? What good things happened, what bad things happened, and what do you hope to accomplish this upcoming year?

I'm 18M and have only had crushes so far in my life. I developed a huge crush on a girl in my class and I actually became good friends with her ( or I thought so ). I always wanted to date her and shot my shot on New year's Eve when I asked her out for a date. I got rejected.... and it turns out that she has been in a relationship with someone for 5 years now ( she never brought up her boyfriend in our convos so I was shocked to learn the said truth ).

This was the first time I asked out a girl and it broke my heart . She said she doesn't want me to even talk to her now so I lost my crush and my friend all in a day.

Now how do I deal with this sad reality?

Seriously. I have not met any woman who enjoys being in a relationship where she is treated badly. They are always looking forward to the guy change in some way or thinking about leaving that relationship.

I think it's a phenomenon that happens when we're young and I don't think it's healthy for both men and women to grow up with this stereotype.

Edit: Thank you all for your replies. I didn't think I will have this many. It's great to know all your opinions and have quenched my curiosity about it. I wanted to know the men's opinion about it and thanks to your answers, I got them.

Recently two of my friends became single. We are all 29 years old. While I have no luck at meeting men and have been single for a few years (altrough doing my best to meet someone), they have been single for less than a month and went out to a party twice, where they both meet guys and now they are both in early stages of relationship.

The thing none of us is stunning or ugly. One friend is overweight, other one is thin, and I am average body shape, but work out regualy and take care of myself

what, in ypur experience, defines how quickly or succesfull you will be at meeting your SO?

I’ve struggled with this for years. When spooning, the arm that’s on the mattress is so fucking problematic and always awkward. It’s either tucked right against me like I’m reaching to guard my jewels in case the wife desires to toss the sneaky sleeping knee, or it’s under her pillow loosing all sensation and blood flow. Where the fuck does this arm go? Am I just that fucking bad at sleeping?
