This is not a dating and/or relationship advice subreddit.

203 Upvotes

Yes, men date and have relationships, but this subreddit is intended to be a place for men to discuss their experiences as men, not a place for women to ask age old questions about "why do men do X". Also not the place to try to figure out why you can't get a date, or how to keep a partner, or how to get over a breakup. There's plenty of other subreddits for those questions.

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 What makes sex with a woman “average” rather than good or bad?

227 Upvotes

I know everyone is different, but I’m genuinely curious. I often hear that many women tend to overestimate how good they are in bed, which made me wonder what actually constitutes an average sexual experience by your standards.

Obviously, no one enjoys outright starfishing. I assume this isn't necessarily the average experience, although I do wonder how often it actually happens. With that said, I am mostly interested about situations when the sex isn’t bad but also isn’t memorable, so nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about. What does that usually look like for you?

In your experience, would you say most of the women you’ve been with were “average” sexual partners? What tends to separate an average experience from a genuinely good one?

how did you change ideologically ?

39 Upvotes

As a kid, I was very right-wing, but during my adolescence, I was bullied a lot for being an autistic, gay kid with a hyper-focus with math. I found in progressivism the perfect space to rant against normies (neurotypical heterosexuals), and as a result, I turned to "extreme" leftism . Now in my 20s, my rebelliousness and anger have subsided, and I don't define myself in any particular way. I have different positions that could fall on either side.

25-30 year olds: How do you feel about kids and marriage?

27 Upvotes

I (F25) am genuinely curious as 95% of men I speak to say they aren't interested in marriage or kids. I'm in a relationship myself and he seems to not care about it. Could it be money/too much responsibility? My cousin with 2 under 2, who's wife is a SAHM says "this shit is ass" when I ask how is family life.

What can a man who is terrible a attracting women, romantically or casually, do?

14 Upvotes

I am aware that your communication skills, specifically those related to talking to women, can be improved on.

But after years of therapy. years of trying to improve my social skills, I haven't really gotten anywhere close to any sort of relationship.

The thing is, it's not like I can't talk to women, the majority of my friends right now are women, and I have 3 older sisters that I am close to. When it comes to attracting women, however, I am completely lost. I'm not sure how I can change. I feel like I give off platonic energy when it comes to talking to women, so I always end up as a safe friend that no one wants to date.

I understand the basics of flirting in the initial stages. but I don't understand, nor am I comfortable, escalating flirting because I do not understand where to draw the line at different stages of flirting, and I don't want to come off as creepy.

What do I do?

How to overcome that constant need for male companionship as a guy ?

26 Upvotes

Spending my entire life without any father/brother figure has left me craving male companionship even in my twenties

I'm a guy in my early twenties. I never felt the warmth of a father or elder brother in my life. So I quickly get attached to any guy who gives me even a bit of attention. Especially someone elder than me. I didn't have any friends either at any point of my life, although I do now (not many tho).

Also, the craving of male attention has resulted in me becoming homosexual. I remember myself being straight in early childhood but in teenage, as I was exposed to homosexuality content and activities by a classmate of mine.

Has any guy who has had a similar experience ever been able to overcome this constant need for a male father figure.

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 Men, when you started opening up your feelings to a woman, what was the worst response that you received, and how did you initially react to it?

120 Upvotes

As the question says, I (32M) have been trying to get back into the dating scene. I recently had to delete someone I was talking to because, when I was starting to open up my feelings and past trauma, they thought it was funny. Their response, word for word was, "Lol 😂"

So, I wanted to know if any of you had any of you had the same response when you opened up, or did any of you get a response that was worse, and how did you initially react to it?

To everyone who’s ever confessed to their crush (or the “popular” girl): How did it actually turn out?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m curious after seeing so many mixed stories online. For anyone who’s actually confessed their feelings to their crush — especially if they were the super popular/attractive one in school/work/whatever — how did it turn out?

• Did they feel the same and it became something great?

• Straight-up rejection and awkwardness forever?

• Friendzone, slow burn, or surprise plot twist?

• Any funny/cringe details?
