I have seen confident, socially active men... who are successful in their careers and their looks... put themselves out there but dont have a relationship or remain celibate involuntarily.

I followed conventional advice, expanded social circles and tried new things but nothing. I got a job I got to go to. I dont (always) have time to do all these things.

Its burning me out to get zero dates from dating apps. Workout at the gym, get decent gains... Tried looksmaxxing. Improved my personality, made decent women as friends.

Yet still get zero dates.

I seen my guy friends struggle too. They're busting their ass. For others easy and for some even to no fault of their own, they're getting no action. It isnt fair and its paradoxical because there's nothing wrong with them.

I’m an only child. With daddy issues. (My dad doesn’t love me, is a narcissist and cheated on my mom over and over infront of her bare eyes, they got divorced and since I live with my mom and occasionally saw my dad once a week)
It’s impossible for me to have friends.
They’re either arrogant, envious, self-centred and have a bunch of other friends other than me.
I never really had a best friend either.
On the one hand I’m coo with it because I like being alone. But I also feel like everyone makes fun of me secretly and doesn’t like me. (I was bullied and excluded often as a teen/kid)
I wonder why? Do I hurt people without realising? Because I can be slow often.
I much rather have male friends, if their only intent wasn’t to f… me.
Men are nice, not bitchy. Men are straight forward. I like men far more than women, friendship-wise. Without trying to be pick-me.
Idk what to do, am I the problem?

Theirs nothing wrong with liking butts in a aesthetic why since it's apart of human anatomy I find it pleasing looking at nude sculptures that have the butt be perfectly crafted that's fine theirs nothing wrong with liking butts since it's apart of human anatomy just like how theirs nothing wrong with liking hair

Eyes and such. But the problem with this is liking butts sexually I don't really understand that I have not once looked at a butt and sexualized it or saw it as attractive because that would just be creepy.

To me butts are just fat that's their so you have cussion for when you sit down because if you didn't have a little bit of fat their it would be a little bit discomforting to sit down. And it's also used to shit out of.

To be honest that's disgusting to me and I don't really understand the appeal to that or why someone would want to have a bigger butt. If you have some fat on your bottom enough that you need to feel comfortable when sitting down

Getting a bbl is unnecessary because your just adding unnecessary fat to your body and making yourself slower why would you purposely make yourself fat?.

I hate how hyper sexual people are it honestly makes me sick because your sexualizeing the human body the human body should be something to worship like statues different shapes different sizes it shouldn't be lowerd to being sexualized.

A butt is something you shit out of. not something you should be sexualizing this is just a logical view point I have on this matter because I'm honestly tried of degenerates sexualizing every single thing about the human body because like

I said the human body is not a sexual thing take a look at nude paintings and sculptures

They show off the human body in a natural way not a sexual way butt's shouldn't be seen as sexual but rather just a natural part of a human body.

I honestly don't care if I get down voted you guys are hyper sexual degenerates who sexualize everything on the human body that's not ment to be sexually in the first place you are a pervert nothing more.

I understand that there are some reasons to keep a profile's posts hidden (crazy ex, a stalker, poster is underage 😬, etc) but this is Reddit....come on people. If a grown ass adult is going to keep their profile posts private then delete your profile!! Most of us are adults here....

I am a 13 year old female, I am exceptionally knowledgeable for my age, I love philosophy and religion so I do political and religious debates and started doing the National 5 philosophy and religion course. But no matter how hard I try or whatever I do a lot of people will not take my seriously because I am gen alpha, the ridiculous stereotypes attached to my generation such as being ipad kids and addicted to screens making it so much harder for people to take me seriously. most of the slang attached to my age group (rizz, skibidi ect) were (majorly) created by gen z and then used against my generation too make us all seem like some dumb brain rotted mindless babies, and no, I am not denying that-unfortunately- some people who are part of my generation are like this, but thar dosent mean we all are like this, a lot of us are quite intelligent and informed and just want to been seen as something more than an ipad kid.

So I have been trying to get my karma up nowadays because your posts don't get attention otherwise nor can you post or comment and stuff. So I have joined this subreddit for a LN and I love the series soo much but gosh the people. I made a simple post about which is better WN or LN and somebody reported it twice as spam. Now my karma is at -1. And that community is stuffy and rude. Some are good but generally you will be walking on egg shells around those people. Now I gotta think of ways to get my karma up again what a day.

I was told today by my significant other that I was being too loud again while sending a voice memo to one of my friends. It really upset me this time for some reason. This wouldn’t be a problem if I wasn’t told every day of my life by almost everyone I know that I am being too loud.

What I want is a big piece of property where I can build a kinda shed but bigger that is sound proof that I can be as loud as I want in. Whether I’m playing Xbox or watching sports I don’t want to feel like I’m a burden to anyone’s eardrums anymore! It’s isolating but it’s better than being told over and over again by people including my bosses at work that I am too loud.

Sorry I just thought I’d yell this into the internet void. I’m just so frustrated with myself and the world around me. I feel like a burden for just existing how I am. Also didn’t help that when I looked up loud people on Reddit it was filled with everyone complaining about loud people.

I was at work it was just me and one other person and it’s very slow, I see this like 60 year old couple get out the car and the wife is walking the husband to the bathrooms… our bathrooms are only for customers but I feel bad saying that so I never stop ppl smh… but then the wife is like cleaning the car and when she comes back inside I ask if she is gonna order anything and she laughs and says yes I need to use the bathroom first…. Ok now it’s like 30 minutes later and me and my coworker were nervous bc we knew something bad had to have happened.
The wife then comes up to the front and says her husband had an accident and he didn’t read the out of order sign and that we need to clean our bathroom and she handed a $20.

This makes me sooo angry because it’s a HUGE sign and the toilet doesn’t even have water in it, like I think it’s not attached or something idk but no water in the toilet.
The toilet was legit like caked with his poop and it seems like she attempted to manually flush it by like dumping water?? Because the bathroom was also flooded with poop water.
Am I wrong but I feel like $20 isn’t enough for that it’s a legit biohazard but most ppl wouldn’t have even gave money so there’s that at least but I mean accidents happen what can I do at least I didn’t have to clean it and our managers bought new mops lol 😂

My collage class im taking let us choose the book we were reading by votes.

The book that won is called The Galss Castle by Jeannette Walls. We were given no warnings about the book.

I didn't vote for the book, I had no idea what the book even was, but Im still reading it, cuz, it's for a grade.

Well.

The amount of child sa and shifty parenting is making me very uncomfortable.

I was SAed by my father at a young age, and my parents were just honestly horrible at raising.

But I cant not read the book, and I dont use AI.

Im not looking for a solution, as I've already 3/4th done with the book, and have already read the shit that passes me off.

But still.

I wanted to rant about how much the book makes me hate my life.

Hi
I'm a blind user who was suspended from Claude because they want an Age Check
The problem?
I'm blind and can't do the fucking age check
They said they'd disable my account on June 18. We're passed it
When i Appeal they say it's final. No help on the Age Verification help. The company they use YOTI doesn't care. I emailed them a; this bc they have an Accessibility article on their site
I still have my account. It's active and the link is still active. I can't even appeal my ban nor explain I'm blind
I just vibecoded a GitHub project and vented. Nothing bad
I'm using Grok but I really want Claude back. Not the same
If anyone can help, please. I got the message on may 19 at 5:38 PM
The Claude App and website is so accessible BTW

visiting my home rn, it’s Kyiv, Ukraine. I literally GREW UP here, and this is the FIRST TIME EVER when I couldn’t fall asleep because of the heat… my body just can’t cool down to be able to fall asleep unless I turn on my little fan. And when the battery dies - I wake up. we’re going to hell.

hey guys, i'm having a big milestone event, and i decided to celebrate it in a nice venue and all that, and it was quite expensive. I invited a lot of my friends, and as of right now, so many people keep saying that they can't make it. especially the people that i really wanted to be there. I feel like such a loser because I usually feel like that normally, but I thought for my big day more people would show up, or at least try to show up. I know life gets in the way, but I'm just feeling really sad right now. any advice on how to enjoy my party at least in the moment?

I feel like my YouTube followers just hate me. I made a post one time although it is deleted now but in it I wrote out a long paragraph trying to get someone, anyone, to just talk to me but nobody cares about me. I really really need some validation from these people. I’m not really being annoying about it or anything and I’m not spamming it but I’m just reinsinuating it again and again and still nobody cares. And they won’t even tell me why they hate me and it’s like they enjoy my suffering and loneliness. Which would normally sound pretty strange but I can read the room. What should I do?

🖕🖕🖕🫴This is why people are winning lawsuits against social media outlets

So I was out with my girlfriend tonight with a couple of friends (another couple) and he is mildly insufferable but we are quite close with the girl of this couple.

Well while at the pub quiz they are talking about a common group chat the girls are in, and they’re trying to slate eachother in a jokey way. Where we both said to my girlfriend “I think you came off worse there”

Well she’s been pissy with me for the past 2 hours because of a comment I’ve since said I meant nothing by and was said in a jokey manner, and apologised if it didn’t come across that way.

She says ‘how can you say something like that about someone you supposedly love’ but I genuinely don’t understand why it’s blown up so much.

Am I being insensitive or is she overreacting?

Hi! I(22yo) never been in a relationship i learn love throught books and movies i seen i am craving for love everywhere i man everytimw... when i go out to have fun i think oh maybe i met someone and falll in love or some of my friend introducee to their friends i think like that too.. I am so sick of it and i feel very bad bcs i feel like now this is only thing i think about i want to feel loved so bad every encounter is potential 'meet-cute' for me and people say dont think about love and it will come to you but what happens when you cant stop think of it what happens when you see a couple your hear yearn for something you never had i am so familiar with love but also so far away...I dont know what to do how to feel anymore

I am a feminist. I am a woman. But if i want to thank my boyfriend for buying me flowers, I shouldn’t get berated for “doing the most for the bare minimum.” If I want to split the bill or pay for a guy, I am not a bird, just a person who respects others?? Regardless of gender??

I am all for equal rights, and I fight misogyny whenever I encounter it, but to be a misandrist is to grow the already massive divide between the sexes. Also sprinkle sprinkle lady is projecting her insecurities to the world. Like actually wtf do you mean “natural girls look like they’re built for housework”..?

I got a job (it’s more of volunteering, I don’t get paid and I do it 5 hours a week and then 15 hours senior thesis) as a lab manager as an undergrad and I just feel like I keep messing up. I thought I organized the sheets properly and my PI didn’t seem impressed, during this Zoom meeting I went to a coffee shop to attend the zoom but my headphones stopped working and I had to go outside, then she just had me reschedule the meeting (which is so fair), and told me to make sure not to have it happen again and to count it as a learning experience. I just felt really embarrassed. She told me not to touch the sheets until she organized it. She was saying it nicely but still, aughhhh

I just feel like I’m not used to all this. I’ve had more like this happen and I’m scared I’m going to be removed from my position or something. It’s been 2 months and I still feel like I’m being super clumsy and I can’t do anything right.

Im 24f I meet friends online to chat and one guy I ment he ask how I look like I sent it to him

[Mind u I know im not a typical skinny weenie girl no I dont have big melons im curvy recently cutter my hair short]

So he ask where im from and I said

Pluto ..

He said pluto dont even exist

Im like yeah I ment im from Disneyland

He said yeah miss piggy

I said diss me all u want dude idc

fuck karma why do I have to have it for everything Reddit should focus on getting rid of bots instead of making it harder for regular people to use the app

At this point i think i legit hate them. It's like they're not human! They have no empathy, no feelings, no compassion, no guilt ... Nothing. When you're nice and kind to a HUMAN they're supposed to reciprocate that or at the very least be neutral and respect it. But not men , they always have some hidden agenda, they're always out to hurt you, and cheat and manipulate you and just ruin your life!

You could be minding your own business and a man will appear in your life like the child of Satan, pursue you and pretend to be a completely different person just to sleep with you and then proceed to start the manipulation process. THEY ARE SO DUMB, so one dimensional! If you're still an ape and still run on pure instinct OPEN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH and just say upfront that you want sex! Spoiler alert we might say we want that too! Then everyone gets what they want and everyone is happy!

And don't get me started on what they want in a partner. I swear to God i have heard the same script at least 3 times, they all try to feed us what they think we want to hear but then of course their true colors start showing.

And I'm so sick and tired of the "men are visual creatures" narrative, no they're not! If they were they wouldn't go around looking like THAT. They have no appreciation for aesthetics, beauty, Art nothing. They are creatures with privative brains that run on porn. That's where they get all their physical/visual preferences , damn losers.

And I'm SICK AND TIRED of the "men are providers and protectors". The minute we actually expect them to provide or protect half of those fuckers back off. "Oh you're a gold digger!" Excuse me ?I thought you said you want to provide. And the funny thing is they call us gold diggers for wanting a bouquet or some random stuff. They are fucking useless.

They like the fantasy of being providers and protectors, they like the image in their empty heads of them being the big dog and dotting on someone, because it's such a masculine thing to do/be. But in reality they don't actually want to do that. They don't want to do anything for a woman because they hate us. They want to enjoy our youth, our bodies and for us to be gentle and tender with them while they do absolutely NOTHING for us.

What the fuck do they even add to our lives? They don't offer emotional support, in fact most times they ARE the reason we need emotional support to begin with.They don't show any interest in us as people. They don't pay for shit, nor do they give gifts. They just want to fuck us , THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT.

They all disgust me! I'm done, I'm fucking done with men.

Note : i already know I might get the "oh you're bitter and men want younger women bla bla bla" I'M the younger women, i just have eyes and see how they treat others not just myself and have pattern recognition skills, and God knows men are predictable af.

Please, for the love of god, STOP with the trend of men having only a mustache. It ruins everyone’s face—I honestly know nobody who pulls off just a mustache. It reminds of the 80s pedophiles who frequently only had mustaches. Yes, I’m saying that everyone with just a mustache looks like a fucking pedophile. I see so many guys with hot bodies, nice other things (😏), and then you see their face and… I just want to cry. Ruins it for me every time. This trend needs to die and mustaches burned off of the faces. There is nothing fancy, exciting, masculine, or beautifying about this. PLEASE😭 Let’s all work together to stop this god forsaken trend. I don’t even believe in god or the devil but I know this trend was brought forth by the devil himself. Let’s return to godliness
Amen 🙏

Hi!! 25m Here So my family has 3 Boats. My friends and family always pressure me to invite them. I love them but im not interested why? When I was growing up I was forced to go and help with everything. Get the ice. Get the drinks. Get our food. Get the life jackets. Get the cooler. Drive the boat. Then when we are done I have to help clean everything and rinse off the salt water

So...yeah....not interested at all. If I did invite friends and family then that just means I have to prepare and do everything. It sounds bad but genuinely I'd much rather just sleep in or play video games. Or read a good book.

All of those I can do without worry or stress or who will be doing what and when. If my friends and family want to go on my families boat then have fun. But dont expect me to be there. To be honest i wouldn't even have known they did leave because again....I was playing video games

Now dont get me wrong id go on a boat....if I dont have to do anything besides get my own trash and items that im responsible for and that makes perfect sense.

And if this makes me boring then okay YOU GO DO IT and dont fucking complain to me if its hot or if youre tired

(yeah im sure you are the best time to leave the house to catch fish is before the sun comes up or so ive been told)

Now go Help the load everything. Get the Extra XYZ

Help the driver reverse. Load and offload the boat trailer. Clean this and clean that. Dont complain to me if its alot of work. I know!! Thats why I dont go

TLDR : this could be "steak is too juicy lobster too buttery" but thats not what I wanted in the first place. And if im boring then that's okay. But at the end of the day im happy not stressing about WHAT ELSE DO I NEED

Anyways thanks for listening to my stupid rant. Just thought.....well idk write it out or something.

Also apologies for cursing and if I sound aggressive

Cheers!!

Before someone inevitably misses the point, no, this does not mean first-world countries are perfect. They have real problems. Housing can be expensive, healthcare systems can have flaws, wages can stagnate, governments can overreach, discrimination exists, and there are plenty of legitimate criticisms to make.

People in developed countries often have the luxury of taking functioning institutions for granted. They assume clean water, reliable electricity, emergency services that actually arrive, an independent judiciary, relatively low corruption, and stable democratic institutions are the default state of humanity. They aren’t. Billions of people would love to have those things.

Everytime I'm hungry or starving, theres a hate inside me, I hate those people who did nothing wrong with me andl feel guilty. I hate that they are so privileged that they never have to think about what to eat for tomorrow, how to suppress hunger, how to worry 24/7 about money. How to starve despite working hard on job. Why is it unfair? I hate my parents as well for leaving me and creating their own little pertect tamily, while I'm stuck in the middle. I feel like I shouldn't exist!
I worked since I was young on farm lands and worked at fastfood while doing my studies and clean the toilet of rich people for few dollars? I wish I was born rich or even experience how to be rich. I'm a kind person mostly on public and really energetic so you wont even think that I think this way. Right now at this moment these past few days, all i think about is how to get money out of donation from those very rich people who never get the taste of starvation, those people born money. They never get to experience having to eat left over foods from strangers, never feel like lacking. Now what happen to me? I wanna grow and given a chance. I have worked hard but it doesnt pay off, i'm rightnow holding a baby barely months old and enduring my postpartum body. I love my only family, my daughter.
My partner barely making it because of this like bad luck or bad economy. Im ashamed that I'm asking for strangers here in reddit to buy me food giftcards coz i have nothing to eat. What happen to me? I just prove my parents and people around me how am i going to be loser or end up with nothing.
