For example "I'm 30 and I never kissed a girl" "I'm 27 and I'm gonna go on a date with this girl that's 26 years old" or "I'm 32 and I like this girl that's 29 years old" etc

When someone says "girls" I always assume they mean either children or teenagers, not grown adult women.

So why do men say "girls" when they really mean adult women? I even noticed these same guys never refer to grown men as "boys". I am genuinely confused by that

I think if 99%+ of women saw that they would hate that a lot? Is that correct?

She's wearning normal street clothes in the photo. It's in a public place where she was just walking around.

I have it because I just think it's a little funny and cool I guess. I guess it gives me some confidence too. Since a woman like that interacted with me. She was smiling too and acting friendly.

Occasionally, I stay over at my boyfriend's place, and I have a specific drawer where I store my clothes for those nights. Last night, as I was going through my drawer to swap into different clothes, and came across a bra I didn't recognize. I took out the bra and showed it to my boyfriend, asking him whose it was. He responded, "Isn't that yours?” After informing him that it definitely wasn't mine, he speculated that it might belong to his mom. He hasn’t had a chance to ask his mom if it belonged to her yet but what do yall think? We have a great relationship, and I really don’t think he’s cheating on me, but I don’t know what to think of this. the more I ask about it the farther I get away from an answer… do I keep asking about it or should I just let it go?

Been seeing this more and more, posts saying if Lebron James or Tom Brady played soccer, they would dominate soccer and europeans wont stand a chance.

I know it's stupid but do americans truly believe this? Or is it just some sort of coping mechanism?

I’ve went on 3 dates where the women Swore up & down that they were literally STARVING. So I take them out to eat & they order their food. They will eat like 2 or 3 bites of their food & then swear they are so stuffed/full. Then take the leftovers home. Yes we talk & have conversation over dinner while I eat my food but I’m pretty sure I was used just to get food. When I do hear from them again it’s to go out & eat again so I’m not interest at that point based on how the first time went. So am I over reacting or am I correct in thinking I’m being used for food? What can I do to prevent this in the future? Thanks!

I mean, if you’re anti-bacon, why is your tofu wearing a bacon costume? Is this some sort of veggie cosplay I’m not understanding, or do carrots secretly want to be hot dogs in their next life?

I see lots of people talking and it also feels like the story is getting buried by algorithms, but won't stay down. Can anyone explain what exactly happened and what's happening now?

I've seen a lot of people drive huge pickups to work and they can't even fit in the parking space in the garage. Why do people do that? Is it a waste of money on gas?

I just don’t understand why there has to be money. Why can’t we all just contribute and help each other out with whatever things we are good at and contribute what we are good for. And then there’s no money.

Beyond the conspiracy theory that governments want a dumber population

I notice on Reddit there is an insane amount of judgment when it comes to two adults dating who have an age difference of more than 5-10 years, depending on the Redditor.

I'm liberal. I believe one of the tenets of being liberal is that no one has the right to judge anyone else's love. I strongly believe that love between two people of the same gender is equal to my love. I strongly believe that love between two people with different skin colors is equal to my love. And I don't believe I should get any "credit" for this mindset; it's common fucking sense. All adult consensual love is beautiful, hard stop.

There are the obviously insane ones, like a comment I read where someone told a 26 y/o that she had no business dating a 33 y/o. But really any age difference.... who are we to judge or label? I see A LOT of this on Reddit in lots of different subs.

Why?

And to be clear, I am NOT referring to relationships with power dynamic differences, e.g. teacher/student, manager/employee, etc. I'm referring to two people who would otherwise be strangers with a significant age difference.

They already were on a precarious position and with depleted manpower.What was even the point of advancing and terrorizing civilians?, would have not be better reinforce defenses, what is the business in advancing to the middle of Lebanon instead of helping USA? it has no fucking sense!!.

With it approaching summer, the “oh god, the uk is so hot, America doesn’t understand what heat is” posts are on the horizon. Why is this seemingly such an issue? Are british people just whiny?

Amber Heard definitely deserved to pay up but there's a reason he had to throw in a nice chunk of money too. I'm glad that everyone is starting to see that men can be DV victims too but people are acting like he was a saint when they both clearly showed abusive tendencies in the trial?

Fully expect this to be downvoted and to attract more misogyny. But I’m honestly curious as to why.

EDIT: first, thank you so much for the awards.

Second, I really did think this would just be downvoted into oblivion. Thank you for keeping that from happening. Not just for the upvotes and awards, but for everyone who participated in a meaningful discussion here. I am very glad that we are at least talking about and acknowledging this.

like lets say a nazi band, will literally have nazi flag, scream sieg-h before every song, yet say they're "just christian" or "just anti jewish" or even worse "just traditional", btw i mean for all nazis not js nazi 'musicians'

I got asked by a man, would you rather be a woman or a man. And when I said man, they were completely shocked, even when I explained that it would be better in terms of safety, health, and opportunity-wise. I've come to realize that a lot of men are not choosing to directly ignore the little struggles that women face, but rather, they seem to completely not notice them.

I don’t know why but whenever someone mentions god or something religious, I just get a feeling it’s an old ideology, like it’s just an old person saying things of it makes sense.

It’s like hearing “surfing the web” instead of “internet”, there’s just an outdated feeling I get when I hear “god” or “lord”.
