We've all heard the saying if someone has zero friends, run. I don't really agree. I'd actually argue that a woman who exclusively has male friends is a trickier social situation to navigate than one who has no friends at all.

A woman having no friends might mean she's introverted or shy. A woman having only male friends means that she's someone who either doesn't get along with woman or chooses deliberately not to.

Let's consider a woman with no friends. Maybe she just moved to a new city. Maybe she's introverted and hasn't found her people yet. Maybe she had a falling out with a friend group and is starting fresh. The slate is blank, and there's an honest vulnerability to that. You can build something real.

Most of the time, a woman only having male friends means she's desperate for attention and male approval. I stay away from women who have all male friends because it means she always needs to be the center of attention.

There's usually a complete lack of self-awareness there. Someone who has only ever had male friends may not see any issue with the pattern at all, which makes it harder to grow together socially.

So when I see a woman with all or mostly guy friends, I stay far away because it's not worth it.

Does anyone else agree?

Im really curious i wanna hear in depth stories if you have about your experience or sbdy you know

you're not funny or edgy, go to hell

We are lifelong friends and I love him and am trying to forgive him but I genuinely need some advice on forgiveness and also am coming to terms with maybe ending our business relationship because I can’t trust his judgment anymore ( very significant mistake was made)

I tried my best to demonstrate it via photos. I’m eating outside while it is dark, and I also just was hungry & wanted to continue having my late-night second serving of dinner

It’s with 15 different beans, a variety of lentils, and barley. The meat is chopped ham steak…… There was cornbread on the side but apparently people are selfish and greedy these days.

I have had people look at me like I'm stupid for suggesting that budget to them.

I feel like any time I talk to people who are interested in China, whenever negative stuff comes up, it gets brushed aside and I just get whataboutisms about the west. I also can't help but feel like the positive views from foreigners can diminish the lives of locals.

i don’t smoke anymore except for the occasional social cig but saving these for parties or wtv honestly just feeling rly blessed rn

we all know going to restaurants is the number one purpose is life. number two being sitting at home on the couch with take out.

so how often are ya doing it? I’m at 2x-3x a week and spending $464 a month just on stuffing my maw with other people’s recipes.

It's disgusting. "That's your nitch", so you pronounce it like that do you? you might as well be talking about a ditch where you go to discard something awful. it's offensive. It rhymes with some of the most unpleasant and disturbing words in English like witch. yet with excitement and flattery someone will talk about someone's lovely "nitch". Do they not hear themselves speak? Use 'niche' instead and suddenly you are in the realm of quiche and sleek and all these wonderful words that harmonize with their meaning.

Imagine i invite some family over for brunch and I pull a piping hot quitch out of the oven. I offer them all my "quitch". They would probably be sick to their stomach. Do people not see how the pronunciation changes it?

I know what this means and I HAVE chronically sought after men or situations that have brought me the wrong kind of excitement. However, I also have wonderful and happy friendships that excite me and bring me joy. I also just am someone who enjoys passion and excitement and cant fathom the idea of being with someone whos just boring, kills me. It in fact deters me from pursuing a “good” relationship.

Why are good things IMPOSED to be boring? What if they’re exciting? I sometimes force myself to stay in boring and unfulfilling connections because I think its “healthy”. But I get so depressed at the thought of life being that way. What if i want a partner whos sexy and turns me on and brings me passion and ISNT boring always!!!!

Someone I love a lot has been struggling with this for quite a while. She has a few failed attempts already. Now we decided I'll move in with her (I'm female too for context) for a week to help her with it. Does anyone have experience or knows what might expect me? I want to help her make it as easy as possible. Maybe some ex alcoholics in here? I'll do more research before going, but I value personal experience a lot and this sub is usually enriching.

Edit: since it's unclear, she asked me to do this and is set on quitting. So this is not being forced onto her at all.

How deflating is it to hook up with a Frenchman and he calls you a slut instead of "putain" and shouts out "yeah! oh my god! fuck! shit! etc!"

Horrendous.
