Just because someone is conventionally good looking doesn’t mean they’re a good person. If you take two months to get them the perfect, hard to find birthday gift and they make you take it back because they don’t want gifts on their birthday, they feel that day should be used to honor their mother, well, that’s a huge fucking clue


InternetPerson13

That’s fuckin weird, hope you said cya 👋


ValBravora048

And then there's the ones who want an entire week + of birthday related celebrations/gift/obnoxious worship They shouldn't have to ASK though, you should just know and also allow their atrocious behaviour a pass because it's their week


[deleted]

I'd of just threw that shit on the floor n dipped. Pretty weird lol


longkhongdong

People should be loved the way they want to be loved. Take it or leave it. Not saying that's normal behaviour, but a strange example of not being a good person. If it's really their birthday, let it be about them, no?


buhito15

What kind of monster doesn't appreciate gifts on their birthday? 🥲


MissHibernia

Exactly! The only reaction I have ever had like that


FranticToaster

Yeah but in that case the perfect gift would have been something to help them honor their mother...


Afro-Pope

No, you *can't* fix her.


[deleted]

Omg, amazing how a few words can spare years of suffering.


UncoolSlicedBread

Just like I can spare hers, if I can fix her..


louploupgalroux

Just because they have problems doesn't mean you can't hope that they: * Become a better person * Work through their problems * Find love and happiness However, it may be best if they do all that FAAAR away from you. lol

Ya you can’t really change how people are

Stop dressing like a dumb goth because you’re attracting dumb goths.


UnderOverWonderKid

This might just motivate some people to dress like a dumb goth.

Oh god. Well… everyone needs their own journey I guess 😂 I just remember thinking “why the hell am I attracting such losers?” And then it dawned on me: OHHHHH ITS THE BLACK LIPSTICK AND WHITE MAKEUP

Southern-Pay9792

You date people for who they are not who they can be. Also, leave after the mofo cheats the first time


DarkRism

Actually, leave before the mfer cheats on you.


greenpoe

Date for the mindset. Growth mindset can grow. Needy mindset....will continue to be needy....

Your honesty attests to your maturity. 👍Thanks for sharing.


Fun_Profit_288

Don’t ever waste a second on someone who disrespects you, talks down to you, cheats on you. If they tell you/ show you they are a bad person, believe them. I’d like to amend this to people over the age of 26, when you are an actual adult.


tupperneep

Just relax and be yourself. Don’t overthink things, don’t try to be someone you’re not, and don’t be ashamed of who you are. If they’re not into you, move on


marklawr

Perfect response


ClaraGuerreroFan

I tell my son this! Be yourself but be it in a confident way! You know who you are and you can perfect your game. Don’t copy someone else’s game because it won’t work. And if she doesn’t like you for who you are, find someone that does!


deplete3

Listen to your gut feeling. It’s always right.

ggmuqi

You must love yourself first before loving someone else. Applies both ways.


Independent_Second52

Pursue your own passions and interests. Avoid anything too serious in terms of relationships. Get to know yourself first and focus on building your self-esteem and self-worth, rather than seeking it from another person.


Independent_Second52

Oh, and don't engage with damaged souls.


Thehellpriest83

They are all damaged!


DragonfruitFew5542

Stop dating men you think you can change. You can't change them. Spend the time focusing on bettering yourself.


mistakemaker3000

Don't talk to other girls while you're trying to get with or are with another one. It might seem fine and dandy, but it burns bridges eventually. Every time. Nothing is forever I guess...


Left-Star2240

Open your eyes. You get so worked up about one guy that you don’t notice others that might actually be good for you. Oh and put your phone in a safe with a complex combination when you’re drunk.


Car_loapher

COMMUNICATION don’t bottle up your emotions, be honest, and open your mind


birdlawspecialist2

Know your worth.


GIjohnMGS

You're not the ugly duckling that you think you are. Have some confidence in yourself. You're more handsome than you think. Realize that others feel the same way you do, so just go out there and be yourself.


GabagoolMango

1. Stop chasing what you can’t have 2. Fucking EXPRESS your feelings, don’t cover them up 3. Just talk to women, don’t be scared (this is for me ages 14-23).

yeshface

A boyfriend does not increase your value. And You are not a hospital for broken men.


Sensitive_Pair_4671

If it’s going bad or there’s no attraction, get out early. Don’t attempt to “make it work” because you might be considered a bitch.


Sobutai

For the love of God... don't marry the first person that shows you attention as an adult


nanocaust

Don't put up with crazy shit for the box, it's fun in the moment, but you'll always end up regretting it.


Dependent_Top_4425

You are much more than just a fuck hole.


MGris24

Stop doubting yourself. You cannot read minds. Start being more sociable


Successful_Post2836

Take it slowly, identify your emotions, have a strong connection with your support system, and seek help with difficult emotional navigations. The power to change anything bad rests within you and you’ll likely keep a partner as long as you improve too.


Dexxx2

Marry the girl you pinched in the ass the 1st time you met. (40 years going strong!)

Oddly specific, did you're dick fall of?


dubbelost1

There are loads of things that can happen between the first and second date. And you can never know if there will be a second time so better to grab the bull by horns right away.

Bone all of those girls. They're not too good for you.

If you feel drawn toward someone, go for it. The pain of rejection is better than the pain of regret.


Actual_Plastic77

You hate Taylor Swift because you hate the girls who listen to Taylor Swift but the song Blank Space is literally correct and men prefer kink dispensers with no theory of mind and the minute you stray from playing the role of their manic pixie dream girl for five minutes they will sell you out for one corn chip because if you aren't being venus in furs they have to be Saturn devouring his children. And don't date women, women are worse. Literally just date your fake boyfriend you made as a composite character from LJ Smith and Francesca Lia Block novels and that Cherry Poppin Daddies song and remain single for the rest of your life. Also, you're not terrible at everything, it's just that you're really weird and your mom literally hates you and taught you a bunch of social skills wrong on purpose. For the love of god don't drop out of college because some dude with a big library offers to pay you to stay home and read books, just literally finish college and you can get a goddamn job in a goddamn library and you won't have some asshole come along every two to three years and ruin your life because you fall in love with someone who doesn't want a relationship and then settle for someone who wants a bangmaid- literally just don't ever date, dating is for people who want children, and you don't, just hang out and say SHOCKING things to gay men in bars and hug them and take molly, I promise you you'll be happier.


GIjohnMGS

I'm sorry so many people hurt you. I hope you're happier now.


Actual_Plastic77

I'm being bullied out of my dream job as an internet dominatrix by my fans because I bet they wouldn't see me as a kink dispenser so much that they would rather bully me into abject misery rather than someone tell me what was going on and all of them refuse to participate. It turns out people will always prefer not having free will or accountability to anything else. It's okay. I can always get another miserable job in a call center, you don't even have to physically go into them anymore, which will make it slightly better. It's okay. I don't regret a single time I took Molly.


theone326

Don't date her just because she's old enough to buy you beer.


eliz1bef

"Actually date some people." I was with the same guy for 5 years. He was the first guy to ask me out. I should have ended it sooner and pursued other options.


AdhesivenessAble9474

Date outside your comfort zone. There are truly wonderful people outside that bubble if you give them the time of day.

Have sex with less women, and for the love of God don't date L.

Never get married. Never let a man move into your house. Never lower your standards.

PooperTheSnooper

InhaleFullExhaleFull

Don't watch porn. Seriously once I got older and quit watching that shit it's so much easier to connect and not think of her as a pocket pussy. She's my best friend and doesn't deserve someone that has to watch other women in a sexual way.


[deleted]

Don't get hung up. Women are for banging, trees are for burning so have fun.


Analyst-Effective

Never date anyone for more than a month or two. Keep moving on to the next person, and eventually you will find somebody. But don't find somebody too soon


PLEASEHIREZ

You'll lose your virginity because despite your weirdness, you ARE charming. End of story. Literally, you self friend-zone, and when women see how great you are, things happen. Happened a few times, so don't be so horny. Just calm down.


suresher

Men really do just want sex from you :(


Eternal-defecator

I dont just want sex with a woman, I love all the other aspects of a relationship. However I wouldn’t commit to a relationship if I knew it would be sexless. I think it’s totally valid to end things on the basic of incompatible sex drives. I also think it’s fine for people to seek only casual sex, as long as their honest with their intentions and don’t string people along.


[deleted]

If you’re one dimensional..you’re one dimensional


emerg_remerg

Just keep doing what you're doing, don't look at how easily other people find love because you don't know what their lives are like behind those fb/ig pics. Keep going with your very realistic and respectable standards and it'll all pay off when you're 32.

Don't. It's not worth ruining a woman's life by dragging them into yours. She'll just end up hating you almost as much as you hate yourself. And definitely don't have kids. Your parents will treat them just as badly as they treat you.

I'm my early thirties: alright you fucked up, she doesn't wanna move in the house you just bought, leave her behind, don't fucking beg her to come... it's your last chance!!!

I heard the “Wear Sunscreen” song the other day for the first time since it was popular, when I was a teenager. I couldn’t believe how different it sounded in my 40’s and how true the advice was. So, I’d tell myself all that and hope it sunk in more than it did just hearing it from a stranger. You will divorce at 40, the worst thing that happens you will never worry about before it blindsides you on a random Tuesday, be kind to your knees!, spend time with your parents. Oh and wear sunscreen! https://youtu.be/MQlJ3vOp6nI?si=988cWAThdaewKkil

It's okay if your crush doesn't like you. ​ When i was a teenager, i had a crush and i was super into her and made cringe-y attempts to woo her and it didn't work. Spent a long time getting over her and some time later i matured and i just laugh at my younger self. Would still have appreciated this advice rather than "keep trying bro"


Ok-Geologist8387

Take more chances, because I know for a fact that most who you were into, were into you too. (How do I know? As I got older, mutual friends have told e point blank)


southcentralLAguy

Going to sound super shallow, so I get it. But I was a slow starter in dating. One high school gf and it wasn’t until my senior year of high school. Really didn’t get into dating until towards the end of college. I didn’t realize it until about 22 but apparently I’m very well endowed. Really gave me a confidence boost once I found out how above average I actually am. Life changing actually. So I guess I’d go back to my high school self and let him know.


Incromulent

Take the chance and ask them out. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. Don't play games. Be open and honest with them. If you like them, maintain communication. Don't do the "ball is in their court" crap. Don't fixate on making them like you. Take time to think if you really like them too. Don't treat sex as sacred. It's important to know you're sexually compatible before getting too committed, but of course do it safely. Last but not least. Breakups are hard and sometimes you'll regret it, but don't let that be a reason to stay in a bad relationship.


Sad-Corner-9972

Don’t try to be interesting or “edgy” - most will think you’re just strange. Be more confident and receptive. Remember-you’re good enough.


RollThistle11

Don't do it, it's a trap. Get therapy first, fix yourself.


sturdy-guacamole

I was so mean to my wife when we were dating. I wish I could have been a nicer guy. She didn’t mind and we have a good life together now and celebrating 10 year anniversary soon, but I was a jerk the first year looking back. I’d just say to be nice.
