/u/MysticoftheWild on Why come out as ace?

I told a few people so they would stop pressuring me to date. First time with my mom was an accident. August 13, 2023 at 11:25PM

/u/Brent_Fox on Does anyone else find libido to be stressful and a waste of time?

I'm lucky I rarely have to deal with a libido at all these days. As long as I avoid people/media that turns me on I simply expirience nothing. It's so nice. August 12, 2023 at 11:16PM

Difficulty dating

So some context first. Australian, male, 24 soon. I struggle with dating. I've been on a single date this year with a repeat customer at the place I work at (mistake learnt. Don't date customers). I've read over loads of advice however I haven't acted on much of it. In my head, the whole 'join a community' thing could work but I don't think so based on the following. I'm far better one on one than in groups. I'm getting the attention I want (again, problem I know) and it's easier to keep the conversation going and making it great. In groups, I'm the timid one. Quiet, reserved and no one pays attention to me (I'm basing this on my observations, which I'm totally aware are limites). Being timid has also stopped me from asking out women in the past (not entirely, I was adventurous about a month ago with one woman (asking her if I could give her my number), but she had a boyfriend already). Dating apps could work, however I've had...

Unrealistic Standards?

So, I'm closing in on 40 REALLLLL FAST. I'm a completely normal dude, a bit below average on the looks department (5'7'' bald, a bit overweight, just being honest) which is fine, we all have our struggles dating and I'm working on the one thing I can control which is my weight. That being said, is it unrealistic to want a woman to have similar interests as I? I'm black, I think it matters in this context, and I really love anime, manga, metal music, philosophy. I find very few women in my age bracket really like those things or wanna chill and enjoy those sorts of entertainment. It's just kinda weird enjoying someone else's sources of entertainment but not really being able to connect with my own. IS this unrealistic? Should I just get over it? Anyone with experience with it? Submitted August 12, 2023 at 12:08AM So, I'm closing in on 40 REALLLLL FAST. I'm a completely normal dude, a bit below average on the looks department (5'7...

Should I (24M) lie about my childhood to women?

I’ve been told I look good and handsome by classmates and coworkers alike (Interns and bosses too) and I’ve had girls in the past that were attracted to me and want to know me better. I somewhat have my shit together with a full-time job, part-time uni and a gym habit too. It’s a struggle each day to balance things. Problem is that early on they ask me about my childhood which is well fairly dark. Abuse, neglect, eating disorders and CSA. I try to be honest which eventually kills their attraction to me. Like they start viewing me as less of a romantic partner over time. Can I lie and just make things up about my childhood? I feel like the common denominator is me oversharing.
