/r/Relationships being biased towards women? Color me shocked!

First post: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/7plpd0/my_19m_awkward_friend_21f_that_ive_known_for_8/

Woman corners man in his home, confesses that she has been in love with him for over a year. Produces a list of all the reasons they belong together, including that the smell of his hair turns her on and that she masturbates to him every day. He is grossed out and made uncomfortable, and tells her this. She cries.

/r/relationships verdict: HE MUST APOLOGIZE. WHAT SHE DID WAS NOT CREEPY OR OBSESSIVE AT ALL. SHE IS JUST INEXPERIENCED. WHY WOULD YOU SAY WHAT SHE DID WAS GROSS!?!?

SECOND POST: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/7pq7jo/i_30_m_found_messages_from_my_gf_26_f_to_her/

Girlfriend hands him her phone - he sees a message openly mocking his appearance (large forehead) to her friend.

her friend saying "Anon has such a monstrous forehead! You could land a plane on that thing, how do you stare at it all day?"

And her responding "Hahaha omg I KNOW! Sometimes he asks if it's big, but I always have to lie to him. I can barely keep a straight face :P"

He immediately leaves and hasn't talked to her yet, does not know what to do but is very hurt as apparently he had plagiocephaly as a kid which left him with a fivehead.

/r/relationships verdict: YOU'RE SO FRAGILE AND CHILDISH, WHY YOU SNOOP, YOU OVERREACT, APOLOGIZE, IF YOU LOVED HER YOU WOULD TALK TO HER (ignoring that if she loved him she wouldn't mock him behind his back)

Natalie’s family and my parents are good friends with each other, so I regularly met her throughout my childhood. We got really close and I’ve always thought of her as an older sister. Last night her parents came to have dinner, and she was with them too. I was excited to see her again because it'd been a few months since I last spoke to her, because of how busy I was with university. She wanted a quieter place to talk so we went to my room. She was acting nervous and fidgeting with her hair. Natalie’s always been an awkward person and this is her way of signaling that something is on her mind. I asked her if she had something to say. She said that she’s been in love with me for a year.

She had a list prepared that showed me how great of a girlfriend she'd be and why she loved me. It contained a lot of her good qualities and the things she said about me were really heartwarming, but some of her points felt out of place…?

A few examples of this:

"The smell of your hair really turns me on."

And

"I would give you blowjobs whenever you wanted."

After I finished reading her list Natalie said that she masturbates to me everyday, and finds that it’s the most enjoyable way for her to get off. I guess this was her way of telling me that I'm attractive. She asked me for a kiss. I politely let her down. I told her this was very overwhelming for me. I said that I felt kinda grossed out by how she decided to show her love. Natalie started crying and apologized. She said that she didn't know how to tell me and that she never intended to make me feel uncomfortable or gross. She told me she'd respect my boundaries and wouldn't talk to me ever again if that's what I wished.

The thing is, I do like Natalie in that way. I honestly think her and I would be a good couple, but the way she professed her love is giving me doubts. It could be a result of her general awkwardness/immaturity and the fact that she’s never been good at interacting with people.

I honestly don’t know what to think of the situation. What should I do here? Is she obsessed with me? Are these red flags? Is all of this just attributed to her awkwardness?

tl;dr: My awkward friend professed her love to me. She made a list to show how great of a girlfriend she’d be and why she was in love with me, but some of her points just felt out of place (“The smell of your hair really turns me on.” and “I would give you blowjobs whenever you wanted.” etc). She then proceeded to say that she masturbates to me and that it’s the easiest way for her to get off. I told her that I felt weird about her love profession and she started crying. Then she apologized to me and said that she never meant to make me feel uncomfortable or gross.

thx bby

Sounds like autism TBH.

This but unironically, it's the first thing that came to mind once I read the list thing. It was pretty clear that she didn't realize that it's kind of weird to ask someone out like that, when it would be something pretty obvious to a neurotypical person.

tfw no harpie autistic gf

why even live tbh fam

Please post as a PSA to the women of /r/drama.

"I would give you blowjobs whenever you wanted."

So she's either ugly, or he's gay, or the most likely option, both of course.

If he is into bussy, he could get her to take testosterone. Should turn her clit into a mini dick and make her more manly?

Did any one suggest this to him yet?

The thing is, I do like Natalie in that way. I honestly think her and I would be a good couple,

..tbh I think he's just dumb

i would have inserted into pooper right there

And low standard fucks like you are the reason women get away with fucked up pickup lines like this

He want that fucc, but they're family friends so he can't just pumpp and dumpp without that reperkush

I bet she looked like one of these 2.

Dumb bitch should've just asked him to hang out, had a few drinks while they talked, watched TV, or listened to music, then at some point in the night made some excuse to get close to him and just kissed him. Saying there's something on your eyelash is a good one during a conversation, or asking him to dance if you're going the music route.

Then either he'd kiss her back and they'd be in full blown make out session, or he'd push her away and she could just laugh and say sorry then pretend it didn't happen the following day.

I hate that garbage sub tbh. Decided to go full autist and post.

God bless and good luck comrade

WEAPONIZED E A P O N I Z E D

/u/weirdloveprofession, /u/veryverystablegenius that subreddit is full of thirsty white knights and cat ladies with borderline personality disorder.

asking them for relationship advice is like trusting methhead gamblers to take care of your money.

/u/StrawberryKiss2559

Op, I did something just as silly as her with the first guy I dated. I still blush when I think about how stupid I looked!

what would your "relationship advice" be, if a guy did the same to a woman?

Life in prison

Well, as others have pointed out, there is a double standard. It's not my fault. There just is.

So, the equivalent would be a man thinking that women want poems and love declarations and maybe even songs devoted to them. And it would be cringy as fuck but I wouldn't tell the guy it was gross.

The power of weaponized autism

Drama is really doing the lord's work. Who else would call out these pathetic users in horrible subs?

We are the burning flame of justice on reddit, but our contributions go unrecognized, as they must.

TBH after reading this in the original post

The thing is, I do like Natalie in that way. I honestly think her and I would be a good couple,

you didn't pick the right battle.

Guy should get over it and let her take him to slobbertown

He's 19 and a not-ugly girl just told him she'd suck his dick whenever, and masturbates to him every day. Of course he's interested.

She also is a virgin with zero experience, and given how obsessive she is he'd be setting himself up for an inevitable meltdown if/when he loses interest.

On the one hand - hit it and quit it, have fun. On the other - she clearly does not understand what is socially acceptable so who knows what she'll do when it ends. It's not worth it. He's in college, there are plenty of not-crazy women there.

You can ride my tail anytime or whatever it is Val Kilmer says. o7

respeck the hustle.

/u/SpoliyCG how is it overreacting to remove yourself from a situation after finding out your SO, the person who supposedly loves you, has been talking shit about you behind your back for who knows how long?

How long has she been making fun of him? How long has she felt that way?

I don't know. You don't know, either. Even OP doesn't know because he said only saw two messages in that email thread and has steadfastly built it up a narrative in his mind that is he's blowing WAY out of proportion given that he's been dating his GF for three years. All we know about is ONE comment, and it wasn't even a comment that was literally calling OP ugly as he seems to fear, merely an acknowledgement that he has a large forehead. So yes, I do think it's a complete overreaction to straight up walk out on her in a public space, force her to find her own way back to the home they share, and then refuse to talk to her for HOURS after causing a big dramatic scene about it.

Yes, what OP's GF wrote wasn't kind, but they've been together long enough that OP is/was considering proposal — you don't think she deserves the benefit of the doubt here instead of getting abandoned by her partner without an explanation and then being completely ignored for 24 hours when she tries to speak to him about what's bothering him like an adult?

Until OP decides to drop the silent treatment, nothing will get solved and both him and his GF are going to feel even worse. I certainly hope this isn't how OP acts whenever he's upset with her because if so, that's really immature for a 30 year old and incredibly unhealthy for a three-year relationship. He shouldn't need Reddit to tell him by now that communication with your long term SO is important.

You trying to build this as the sub automatically taking the female's side might be your own biases showing, not the sub's as a collective.

How long has she been making fun of him? How long has she felt that way?

I don't know. You don't know, either.

EXACTLY - and he will likely never know, because he can't trust her to be honest with him. So now he gets to wonder 'oh cool so she's just been thinking this and making fun of me for all this time' and 'has she really stopped after apologizing and promising?' and 'does she still feel this way?'

You know what's incredibly immature and unhealthy? Talking shit about your partner behind their back to your best friend, whom they hate, about a medical condition. All he did was leave.

Bitch the sub has a reputation for a reason. It is essentially full of female incels who think women can do no wrong. There have been exact mirror posts made to demonstrate this in the past - a man who is concerned about the high partner count of a girl he is dating, and the reverse. The 'man' post was called a pig, slut-shamer, misogynist, etc. The 'woman' post was told she is allowed to have her preferences, no one is entitled to dating her, etc.

You know what's incredibly immature and unhealthy? Talking shit about your partner behind their back to your best friend, whom they hate, about a medical condition.

You're right. That's unhealthy, too. But I think after three years and after the glowing terms OP used to describe their relationship leading up to this single message, it's way more immature to totally shut down and not talk about why something is bothering you. I think OP has serious issues if he thinks it was appropriate for him to leave in the way that he did instead of doing the adult thing and using his words.

All he did was leave.

That's the problem. No talking. No discussion. Just jumping straight to the worst conclusion and then holding to that instead of taking the opportunity to talk about it in a calm, mature manner.

OP needs to work out his sensitivity about his forehead and communicate that to his GF instead of leaving her on the hook.

Because, as he said if you had read the post, he was so pissed he couldn't communicate. The smart thing to do is leave. But no, you and all the other harpies in that sub shit on him while giving her a pass.

OP needs to work out his sensitivity about his forehead and communicate that to his GF instead of leaving her on the hook.

BITCH, she knows. She knows it is a medical condition that he is sensitive about - he has already communicated that to her. Again, if you bothered reading, that is part of why he is so upset. Because she knows.

OP needs to work out his sensitivity about his forehead

I'd be somewhat sympathetic to this idea (tho I'd still think you were an asshole) if he found out some dickheads at work had been making fun of it behind his back.

Finding out someone you're intimate with is laughing at a deformity behind your back doesn't seem like something you just develop a thick skin for tho, that shit'll sting no matter how tough you are. Your lack of empathy is a bit disturbing tbh.

It's because that they are probably the ones that also do that kind of shit.

When you're not on the receiving end, it doesn't sting.

Idk, I'm just rude, I know when I'm being a dickhead about people and choose to do it anyway. The unnerving thing is when people try to manipulate the context to say "actually, being rude means I'm a good person, and how dare you say otherwise".

Forreal tho, I wouldn't even disparage someone who I've hooked up with's appearance unless I was absolutely sure they wouldn't see it. To be in a committed relationship with someone and be laughing at what they consider a deformity with people I'd presume they've met is nasty even by my standards.

girls, smh.

Bussy is the way of the future.

It is the only way forward.

This is what happens when you want to act like an asshole, but you can't/don't want to admit to yourself that you have asshole tendencies.

Hey dumbasses don’t downvote the lolcows, it drives them away and gives us less of their sweet, autistic drama.

Have you been to the sub in question at all?

what's bothering him

So not only did she betray him, she's such a monumentally dumb cunt that shes doesn't even know why he was angry.

Are you by chance a literal retard?

And yet when they're mad at us, we're supposed to be able to guess why... 🤔🤔🤔

I don't know. You don't know, either

So you default to "This is her first time she just made a simple mistake there's nothing to indicate she's ever done anything wrong ever!!!!11!!!"?

Please point me to something in the OP that indicates she has done otherwise. Unless I read incorrectly, not even the OP knows because he didn't read the whole exchange between his girlfriend and her friend, he just shut it off when he started seeing red.

After three years, I think she's earned the benefit of the doubt from OP to at least talk things out and for him to reiterate why this bothers him instead of wallowing in hurt feelings and silence. Nothing is getting accomplished by OP shutting her out. That's not how things are supposed to work. Either they'll work things out or they won't, but I think it's better to have closure on the issue than drag it out like a Grateful Dead encore.

than drag it out like a Grateful Dead encore.

You better not be coming in here and talking shit on the dead or we're going to have major problems

I mean the fact she's shit talked him to one friend is a better indication that she's done it to others and will do it again in the future than it is she's never done it before. That's enough evidence for me to think she's possibly made at least one mistake in her life at some point, and likely even in this relationship as well, but you seem to think otherwise.

True, and nothing would be accomplished by OP flipping his gourd and telling or screaming at her either. Think of it this way, if OP had been female and her BF had said something horribly insensitive to her, and she needed her space because she was too hurt, betrayed, and angry, how would /r/relationships react?

I think she's earned the benefit of the doubt from OP to at least talk things out and for him to reiterate why this bothers him instead of wallowing in hurt feelings

Serious question: Have you ever used the verb "wallowing" to refer to a woman? Or do you have some other word for them that's more empowering?

/u/spoleyCG btfo

Tell us how many cats you have

It's up to the dude to decide what closure is. If he never talks to her again and decides that's closure for him, that's fine

I think it's hilarious he just left her like that. Fuck em

You guys have a crystal clear bias. Keep on giving fake advice.

"Your gfs tits are disgusting since one of them got chopped off for cancer"

"OMG I know!"

Yeah I'm sure you'd have the exact same response...

I explained my point of view in replies people made to my comment.

You don't know OP's friend you don't know what their friendship is like, how awkward she is, how he feel about her, she might of just been following some bad advice and went too far. Calling her a "fucking nightmare" and a "psycho" is just making exaggerated assumptions.

I have seen posts made more than once on r/sex where a women asks if telling a guy she thinks about him while she masturbates would be a good idea, and unsurprisingly many comments from guys say that's super hot, there are also comments saying it's cringy and inappropriate, and if gender swapped would be gross. But are still many saying it's hot and would love it. All it takes is a little bit of bad advice to completely fuck a situation.

You don't know OP's friend you don't know what their friendship is like, how awkward she is, how he feel about her, she might of just been following some bad advice and went too far.

Why are you so hellbent on making so many excuses for her, when we both know that a guy doing the same thing would be castigated and told they should have known better. She's a damn adult, not a kid.

Yes, but they are already having sex. OP and that woman are not in any sort of romantic relationship. Hearing that from someone you are hooking up with/dating =/= random, unprovoked reveal. She literally wrote out a list, and thought that telling him she has been in love with him for a year was acceptable. If he goes on a few dates and ends it, I would be prepared for a meltdown.

Why are you so hellbent on making so many excuses for her, when we both know that a guy doing the same thing would be castigated and told they should have known better. She's a damn adult, not a kid.

If the genders were reversed I would of made the exact same comments that I did. OP likes her and wants to be a couple, which is why I gave the advice I did.

Yes, but they are already having sex.

Not all of them I have seen at least one that could very well of been written by OP's friend, and it was still the same comments. The ones where the people in question are already having sex get nothing but "yes it's hot", who would say that's inappropriate to say to someone your already having sex with.

If the genders were reversed I would of made the exact same comments that I did.

Rly?

LMAO

Do you realize that youre a fundamentally dishonest person?

Why

You are saying you would give equivalent responses to both sexes.

We don't believe that, so from our perspective you are a dishonest person.

Because you don't believe me doesn't make me dishonest, it just means you don't believe me. Feel free to search through my comment history to prove that I'm dishonest if you want, don't think you will find anything though.

If we don't believe you, from our perspective you are dishonest. Even if you are a saint and have never told a lie.

Currently we don't believe you would provide gender neutral advice, but you say you would. That's why we think you are being dishonest.

Also I forgot to mention I don't give a shit, go rock and roll in that subreddit if that's your thing

I have a comment history you can search through if you would like to see my gender neutral advice, I'll happily admit I'm dishonest if you can prove it.

this is the gayest thing ive ever read in my life

Learn English or fuck off back to Mexico you piece of shit

Thanks for the English lesson, and not contributing anything to the actual topic of the thread. For someone so critical of other people's gramma I'm surprised you forgot to finish your comment off with a full stop, maybe you need to fuck off to Mexico also.

My comment added more value than all the white knighting you do on /r/relationships

Thank you so much for this comment. I was always worried people would be creeped out by being outright told they're being masturbated to, but now I know some people like the idea so shotgunning for those few is better than keeping quiet. Your comment has finally given me the confidence to tell my female friends that I think of them when masturbating. Can't wait to meet them tomorrow tbh, you're a real hero to me.

All it takes is a little bit of bad advice to completely fuck a situation.

I didn't quite get this part of your comment, can you explain it further please?

I didn't quite get this part of your comment, can you explain it further please?

Your comment just summarised it pretty well.

I didn't tell anyone it is a good idea to tell someone you masturbate to the thought of them, I pointed out other people have given that advice, my advice was to the person on the receiving end of that information if that person also has feelings for the other.

Agree to disagree; I think it was harsh and the reasoning was already explained by several other people. You’re kind of ignoring cultural con text when you say to just switch the genders. This is a really strange post btw. Haven’t seen much of /r/drama, but it seems like a cheap knockoff of /r/subredditdrama so far tbh. Lots of all caps and name calling apparently lol

/r/drama has better moderators, more bussy, less moderation and this place isn't full of smug self-righteous kids with a severe case of the 'tisms.

We have /u/xNotch

What does /r/subredditdrama have?

NOTHING

\o/

Speak of the devil, its TiTs

Please stay.

What does that have to do with cultural context

Also, we're objectively better than SRD

What does that have to do with cultural context

Nothing. It's literally just a crapshoot that is determined entirely on if a) they're already attracted and b) they're willing to look past serious social errors.

it seems like a cheap knockoff of /r/subredditdrama

/r/drama:

a community for 8 years

/r/subredditdrama:

a community for 6 years

Who's the knockoff?

Lol I didn’t exactly research before commenting. Just my impression, having only seen this sub now, you both do similar things by different styles. This is like the T_D version, seems like more memes, trolling, etc. not really my thing obviously I’m only here because I was mentioned. Y’all also seem really sensitive though at the same time 🤷🏾‍♀️

Post bussy

Thats both funny amd embarrassing

STOP CREEPSHAMING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'd imagine /u/Epicuriosity, /u/dodoconundrum, and /u/gamer_zzzz are just jelly that he actually had a m'lady actually hit on him.

Holy shit this is actually amazing. I know /r/relationships is filled with man hating rad-fems but to see it all laid out like this is pretty interesting.

See the post made in this sub a year ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/4z6zzf/does_number_of_sex_partners_matter_rrelationships/

It is literally ridiculous how biased these harpies are.

You're doing the lord's work

C'mon, dude. You can't say that r/relationships is full of radfems. The bulk of them will be nice-guys, white knighting women at all costs in the vein hope that a female OP has an epiphany and decides to dump their BF and bang them instead. Which, in the entire history of the internet, has happened exactly zero times. But there's always a first time, right?

Honestly you'd probably have more luck asking for bobs and vagene than by white knighting.

bitch lasagna

There's a reason why men ask for bobs and vagene.

I'm not sure why men white knight though, maybe it's because someone told them to do so when they were little, and they're very very conformist?

I just wanted to chime in and say that r/relationships is very feminist/sexist.

I've been trolling the subreddit for over two months now. My posts have accrued over 100,000 karma in total and I've received 5000+ comments. Posts that are made by females gain more attention and sympathy than ones created by males.

For example, I wrote a post about a young man stuck in an abusive relationship with his girlfriend:

  • 10-15 comments
  • 8 upvotes

I wrote the same post, switched the genders and changed a few of the details to make sure it didn't create any suspicion.

  • 100-110 comments
  • 600-700 upvotes

It's proven by all the data that I've gathered that posts written from a female perspective get more attention and sympathy. Quite sad.

Make sure to do a gender swapped version of this in a couple months.

I have many more examples of swapping genders and receiving more attention when the post was written as a female.

You need to be more careful with comparing posts if you want you PhD in /r/relationships trolling.

Comparing two posts just by certain upvotes within a time period doesn't cut it. You need to get to the bottom and document other influencing factors:

  • When were these threads posted? Same weekday? Same time?
  • General activity in this subreddit. How many people were online? How did other threads from women or men do?
  • Outside factors (like Trump tweeting mean things or Binging with Babish posting a new video) which could distract a certain group within a subreddit.
  • Brigarding from other subreddits.
  • How does hitting /r/all inflate the upvote count?

And so on. ONLY then we can solve the most important question of our timeline and prevent Oprah from winning 2020. Are male posters on /r/relationships being discriminated against?

I'm actually doing a math project about statistics on my troll posts. Maybe I'll make it public.

Yes

Post it here when you are done.

Please do. This shit is hilarious.

That’s intriguing- I thought reddit was supposed to be almost all males.

I'm pretty sure the majority are males, but there are exceptions for certain subreddit like r/relationships.

Some popular old single lady advice column linked to /r/relationships once and its been funneling in the cat ladies ever since.

It is, but certain subs are ghettos of dysfunctional women, r/relationships is one of them.

cucks white knights

Nobody cared who i was until i chopped off my dick

Bro this is high level autism. Seek help

lmaoo I remember seeing that post on the front page of reddit for me

Wait, what the fuck? It hit the front page of Reddit?

Also, I got shadowbanned from the subreddit on this account LUL.

not r/all, just scrolling through my phone on the RIF app

I did some further research and the moderators have it so posts on r/relationships aren't allowed to go on the front page.

interesting

Honestly, this is a shitty comparison of threads. The two topics are completely different situations.

Here's an actual good one.

>tfw no awkward qt stalker gf

Shes definitely no qt 3.14, or she'd have at least caught some dick after that speech. She looks exactly like a guy who would give that speech.

$100 says you couldnt identify the gender of either of those two from behind

STOP ASKING ADVICE ABOUT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS ON REDDIT, MOST OF THOSE ANSWERING ARE AKWARD, DATELESS INDIVIDUALS,WHO ARE ONLY ABLE TO DATE OTHER AKWARD INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE OF DATING APPS; FAIL TO HAVE A LONG TERM PARTNER; ARE FORMER CRAZY GIRLFRIENDS AND NOW CRAZY LEGBEARDS OR NICE GUYS / NECKBEARDS.

Or go to 30+ age limit subs, hell even GenderCritical would offer more diverse answers.

Or go to 30+ age limit subs

Aren't most of the relationship subs full bitter, menopausal women? I think those skew older than the rest of reddit.

SHIT......

DON'T USE R/RELATIONSHIPS AT ALL...UNLESS YOU WANT TO CONFUSE THEM AND CREATE DRAMA - TRY ASKING THEM ABOUT BUSSY AND REPORT BACI HERE.

This is good advice.

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING

HE'S EATING THE DO NOT EAT STUFF

/r/AskMenOver30 seems pretty solid to me.

I wouldn't call that a relationship sub, though.

Not explicitly, no, but they do touch on relationships fairly regularly.

Yes and the worst kind of soy nu males

Seriouspost:

Are there any female specific spaces that don't devolve into pity parties at some point?

STOP ASKING ADVICE ABOUT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS ON REDDIT

Jesus no, these storylines are so much better than reality TV

Yeah, but when it's Countess LuAnn you can actually get the Florida arrest report and know it's real.

I always think 99% of stories there are fake

Who are these people?

If you take dating advice from r/relationships you deserve to be given bad advice. So it works out in the end.

If you take advice from r/relationships you deserve to keep yourself safe.

So they’re dateless individuals that are dating other dateless individuals?

r/relationships

kek <--- this one

> unironically asking for relationship advice on reddit

Wow.

If you really want some fun with that sub make a throwaway and post how you're a dude who gives oral all the time but never gets it from his gf. Take note of your responses. Then a few days later make another one and post that you're a chick who gives head all the time but never gets oral from her bf. They don't even hide their bias.

All women should die tbh

No.

The fucking white males should die amirite?

Mayocide when?

Humanity's time has come, fucking global warming can't come fast enough.

This is why I only eat red meat.

I only eat things grown in freshly cut down rainforest patches

well, and whales

You gotta try shark fin soup, delicious stuff.

Fuckbots when?

this but unironically

They will eventually, just like everyone else.

Is this what social justice is?

It is now

Guess who were a mistake

OP's parents

I'll settle up for that

rhymes with men

I find it interesting how credulous /r/relationships is. Like, you just know all the regulars there also edit the Supernatural and Doctor Who tvtropes pages so you think they'd be aware of the Unreliable Narrator trope

Ummm. Wow.

Has no one mentioned that that guy was 30 years old and was dating a 26 year old child?

Suuuuuuuuper gross if you ask me.

Problematic tbh

What do you think, /u/Frank_Tenpenny? That guy is totes a pedo, right?

sex is gross.

exchanging fluids

Yuck

Yuck

Eww

Every comment you linked to was baleted so you're having a bitchfit over nothing, OP

Shapshillbot archived it all, you fucking retarded cumskin.

Every time you link to an /r/relationships post the mods there remove the post. Surprised nobody has exploited that yet

LOL.

u/veryverystablegenius how big is your forehead. Post pics.

R/relationships is toxic AF.

https://www.reddit.com/r/circlebroke/comments/75jruk/funny_and_sort_of_ironic_experience_on/11This is a post I made on here once about that sub.

When my ex committed suicide and I was upset about it, the sub ripped me a new one and told me how my boyfriend should dump me and find someone worthy of him. They even called him a Saint for putting up with all my shit. (I would link the thread but I deleted it.)

Then when I posted there asking for opinions because my boyfriend's ex wanted a massage from him and I wasn't entirely Ok with it (Note... my boyfriend is a professional massage therapist. And when I told him I wasn't entirely ok with him giving his ex a massage, he understood and refused her the appointment.)

The sub laid into me about that too. And what's funny is the same boyfriend who they all thought was such a saint at another time, was now a lying, cheating scumbag and I am stupid and have no self respect for staying with him. (I deleted that thread too... sorry, lol.)

These were posted under another account. And in the one thread, some of them started going back through my post history and there was a whole subthread of them mocking me for having lived such a "sad pathetic life." They were quoting things I had posted well over a year ago. Uh... you have nothing better to do with your time then go through my post history and make fun of me... but I'm pathetic? Ok then, lol.

These were posted under another account

Did you delete the account? If not, you still might be able to find it.

I really don't want to find the posts, lol. I deleted them for a reason.

How are we supposed to ping people and scold them for being terrible? 😢

my fella

The behavior the op described would make top post in /r/cringe /r/cringepics /r/sadcringe /r/creepypms /r/niceguys and whatever other suybs harpies use to jerk off to men in their most pathetic form

If a man were to do that, they would scream about him being a creep.

Yah, and if a man were to do that IRL they'd scream for the cops.

That sub sucks. It’s entertaining at best.

frantically shreds letter intended for /u/snallygaster

What a retarded way to confess your love. A letter detailing all your pros and things you would do? Ahahahhahahaah autism! Post bussy, mayocide etc etc.

Women were a mistake.

Fuck that sub, and the sex sub is equally bad. In both the default advice is "its the man's fault, leave him for someone better, you go girl!"

Nevermind the fact that youre only hearing one side of the story, told in a way that garners sympathy. People post for validation, not advice.

This is why women need to wait to be asked, we're tired of awkward sexual advances by land whales.
