I can see where they're both coming from. But if he's unemployed, he should be focusing on getting his s**t together and using his savings for surviving, before pursuing a relationship, or dating. In fact, someone unemployed I would be very suspicious how he's earning money to pay for a date. Unless she's paying.

We managed to get in touch with TakinShots, and the Redditor told Bored Panda that the idea for the post "came about when a friend told our friend group that guys and girls can't be friends. At that point, I was curious about what other silly things people have heard being said to them."

"I would say most of the answers are based around specific things being said on actual dates," the author of the post added.

"A lot of the answers involve people saying something sexist or doing something really awkward on a date. There's a wide variety of responses that are all entertaining to read, but some, like the fake bomb story, are really scary too!"

This makes sense. Samantha Joel, who is an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Utah, focuses her research on how people make decisions about their romantic relationships.

She scheduled a talk in October 2019 at the University of Waterloo in Canada with the straightforward title: "Can we help people pick better romantic partners?"

To answer that question, she teamed up with 85 of the world's most renowned scientists, combining data from 43 studies, mining hundreds of variables collected from more than 10,000, and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning models. And the answer was no.

The number one—and most surprising—lesson in the data, Joel said, is how unpredictable relationships seem to be. She and her coauthors found that the demographics, preferences, and values of two people had surprisingly little power in predicting whether those two people were happy in a romantic relationship.

"Ah, That's Why They're Single": 35 Times People’s Single Status Made Absolute Sense Friend dated a guy who took her cat to the shelter as a stray. The cat was chipped and they called her to pick it up. She couldn't figure out how the cat got out and the boyfriend claimed he didn't know.

It happened a second time, and she had the cameras checked for the person dropping the cat off. She called him on it and he denied it.

She broke up with him, but I always joke that she drove him to the shelter instead.

"Ah, That's Why They're Single": 35 Times People’s Single Status Made Absolute Sense I occasionally get migraines, and one of my coworkers asked me how my husband feels about me having migraines. Which I thought was a weird question but I replied along the lines of "he feels bad that he can't do anything to help me when I have one."

Coworker then says, "No, I mean, because like I couldn't deal being with a woman that had an illness or something like that, I'm too high energy for that, I wouldn't be able to be with her."

I said, so you think that my husband would want to leave me because I get migraines? He said yeah. I said, so if you were married and your wife got sick with something like cancer or some other disease, you'd leave her? He said yeah I didn't sign up for all of that.

I politely told him to never get married with that attitude, people can't help that they're sick. Damn.

When he wanted to eat out and I would tell him I had been throwing up all day and didn't feel like eating at all, he would answer back "you don't have to eat anything.

TakinShots believes that society's perception of being single depends largely on who you ask. "I would say most people are fine with being single, and a lot of people don't really care. Perhaps in certain social situations, the question of whether someone has a partner may come up, and there might be a certain 'expectation' that a person with X job or Y personality should have a partner. At that point, there might be some surprise. As for judging others who are single, it can happen, but this is a minority population; it's very immature and reeks of insecurity."

"Ah, That's Why They're Single": 35 Times People’s Single Status Made Absolute Sense When I hear men, usually straight and Caucasian (but not always) espousing the red pill nonsense, it makes me cringe.

I wish they could understand that they are being told what they want to hear, where they are the victims of some grand conspiracy… when really what they’re experiencing is not being handed the world like they were promised.

I have / had a friend that went hardcore right wing / Alex Jones during the pandemic and never returned. We went out drinking a couple times and it just became too awkward for us to maintain a friendship. He was also dating a girlfriend of mine, who dumped him slightly before he went fully insane, and likely contributed to him falling into the void.

The red pill guys just don’t understand the irony of their prerogative: I.e they are mad that they are being forced into a lifestyle and culture they don’t agree with and painted as “the bad guys”, when literally every single one of their policy objectives seeks to subjugate every racial, gender and sexual minority lol.

They suddenly think that vaccines are a communist conspiracy, and political correctness is brainwashing, while simultaneously legislating what women and trans people can do with their own bodies, and policing what literature and education is acceptable. They want freedom of speech while also being terrified of people learning anything that contradicts their version of reality.

In short, the red pill guys who identify as incels should maybe realize that maybe they’re single because their political and philosophical stance fundamentally sees women as beneath them; objects owed to them; incubators; stupid; vapid; weak; etc.

You can’t complain about being single and nobody wanting to f**k you when you are supporting convicted r*pists and conmen for public office and in media..

Geoff MacDonald, a psychologist at the University of Toronto whose lab studies the well-being of single people, agrees.

"There seems to be evidence that around the world people are staying single longer and sometimes staying single permanently," he said.

MacDonald's research found that those who are most unhappy about being single and who have the lowest overall satisfaction with their lives are people who crave connection. He describes them as "anxiously attached" individuals. And those who are happiest with being single tend to be more independent people who are comfortable being alone.

"There's actually not a lot of difference between the kinds of people who are happy single, and the kinds of people who are happy in relationships," the psychologist explained.

When something he said presented this side topic, I wrestled away control for 5 minutes to tell him about the DB Cooper air hijacking. He immediately changed the subject as soon as I was done.

As he walked me home, he said:

“Empathy is all about considering what the other people around you want. When you wasted time at dinner telling that airplane story, you clearly didn’t think about whether or not I would find it interesting, and I had stuff I wanted to talk about. No wonder people don’t think you’re empathetic.” .

Years ago I happened to meet a friend of some friends and he seemed nice, interesting, good looking etc. I was wondering where the catch is when he asked me out.

We went out once. He told me that since I was going to be his gf from now on (whaaaat?) I was not allowed to wear shorts, short skirts, short dresses, anything with any cleavage, and tight fitting clothes. Also he expected me to quit my job because he was willing to provide for me.

I told him that this isn't gonna work and I do not want to be his gf. I am not even interested in becoming his friend any more.

He nagged to all our common friends that he is a nice guy, has a good job, treats women well and it's not right that I rejected him.

A former colleague of mine in his early 20s once explained that right now he sleeps with girls he finds attractive and is very careful about contraception, but his plan is that the minute he turns 29, he finds an ugly fat woman who clings to him, he pokes a few condoms, and he has a child. Then dumps her and goes back to sleeping with cute girls (btw, notice the "girls") for another decade, and around 40 when the kid is less annoying, he'll slow down and ask for shared custody.

I was like, well, that's a... plan, I guess. It certainly is planned.

I went on a first date with a guy who seemed pretty charming, decent looking, and intelligent via meeting on a dating app. He was new to the city so I offered to meet him for lunch.

We get to the restaurant and after about 10-15 minutes of small talk, he proceeds to start pointing out other men who were dining and categorizing them as an “alpha” or a “beta”. I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not…

After he concludes pointing out single every man in the restaurant, he points to himself and says “I’m an alpha. I don’t think you’ve been with any since this city is shallow and full of betas but I’m down to show you what that means.”

I don’t know how on god’s green earth I finished that meal in his presence but I did. I promptly let him know later that day via text that we weren’t a good fit but thanks for the time and he proceeded to tell me that I wasn’t going to find anyone better, but good luck trying.

He replies, "I know what I bring to the table. She ain't even worth talking to unless she gonna suck it first." We laugh, and then realize he's serious. And he's ALWAYS felt that way. And that he was pushing 30 years old, and was still a virgin. And yet he was still 100% convinced that the problem was all the girls who weren't introducing themselves on their knees.

"whatever you can do, I can do better"

A couple friends and I helped setup one of our friends to meet a girl that we all thought would be a good match for him. My friend was a tall country boy who was a little rough around the edges, but he has the heart of gold, will help anyone out, but the brain power of a scarecrow. The date we planned on going great, as they were both mechanics and she was a tomboy who was excited to go on the meetup. She was very cute and outgoing, but the whole interaction between the two of them still pains me to this day.

This poor girl made every effort to talk with him about subjects that they had in common and would be engaging(like engines, cars, building a garage, and even vaping), and my friend being a dumbass, just kept on telling her that everything she could do, he could do better. Like I was witnessing someone film that stupid [Nike Commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liKnJ-ejztw). After 30-minutes of getting to know each other, the poor girl had enough of his belittling/teasing, and had her friend rescue her from the restaurant as the conversation was going so poorly(they were supposed to go to a bonfire together afterwards).

To this day, I can't tell if this was my friends feeble attempt at flirting, or if he had reverted back to his 6-year old self. It was like watching a car accident in slow motion, and his ill-fated attempt of a conversation still pains me to my loins. He still doesn't realize what he did wrong.

Man was floored when I finally just asked him point blank if he wanted to have sex. He did not perceive my interest.

When I met him, I wondered hard why he was single. It's a small town, ya know? Like... Good men are in short supply.

It's cause he's oblivious. Completely oblivious. Last time we went out, a really hot lady was trying to pick him up and I just sat back and watched her send signal after signal and drop hint after hint and it rolled off him like water off a duck.

Friend was invited to dinner and a movie.

A $3 frozen pizza and Scooby-Doo at the gentlemen's home despite a mini mall with $1 slices next to a repertory theatre playing Batman and Batman Returns for $6 per person both movies clearly visible across the street.

Replays Daphne sliding down the pole scene several times in slow motion. Negs Daphne for being too large and having floppy udders. Says he would let her blow him so long as she kept them hidden. Tells friend not to worry, that he would do her in the dark until she loses enough weight to be acceptable looking with the lights on.

Knocking on the door displays a neighbor demanding him to move his van out of her spot. Tells date now that she knows he has a van, not to expect a ride home and curses neighbor stating he should just chain her up in the van to teach her a lesson. Watches him move a rattling pos rusty white work van into someone else's spot.

Is very upset friend did not want to go dutch, $2, for the pizza because they used his power etc as well and accuses her of gold digging. She says she was given 1/4 of the pizza as she looks like she has eaten plenty today already.

This tale comes to light at a group outing when friend 2 mentions being asked out by the guy.

She thinks tale is exaggerated and we agree to meet back the day after the date for brunch and gossip. Identical experience, including neighbor and same Scooby-Doo movie.

I agree. If someone says politics doesn't interest them, they are white and privileged. No-one else can be blasé about it. It affects everything except if you are super privileged. South African here. The number of white folks here who just say "they are not interested in politics" or worse "get over apartheid" or "apartheid was long in the past"... idiots.

Dear BP, maybe let's give "sad" and "pathetic" and "disgusting" and "revolting" a bit of a rest, and go back to "delightful" and "funny", eh?

I know! The past several weeks BP has had some very negative articles. I know there is a contingent who love their drama, but I would prefer fun articles.

100%. I come here less now because of all the "Look how petty I am!" posts etc. I come here for fun pictures from history etc and ONLY want the feel good stuff. I can scroll the main page in a few seconds and see it's 25 negative posts and I'm out. They won't listen to us though. Just look at the product posts they make about Amazon items "Everyone loves!" and those get -178 downvotes YET they post them every day, no matter how hated they are here. They get paid for product placement and for ads so that's all that matters to them. I'm just one of many readers they are losing or lost from this negativity.

It feels like we are ushering back in a bygone age. The alpha male, the Neanderthal at the keyboard, the incel, the trad husband / wife combo, I could go on. They’ve discovered friends across the internet who share their values and they seem to encourage each other. Women as property, women as eye candy or trophies, women who defer to their men, women as second class citizens, what is in the water? My partner deserves my respect and love, she’s my equal, my confident, we take on life’s challenges together as a team, sometimes she leads, sometimes I do, we are in sync and know who is best equipped to take things on, I’m not perfect, neither is she but we make a damn good team together. If you want to be in a strong relationship then I recommend using respect and trust as your starting point, not some Victorian values and thinking anyone else is beneath you in some way or other. PS we laugh a lot together, it oils the machine and keeps us somewhere north of sane.

Guys — if you like a woman, give her the respect she deserves. And don’t whine about it. That’s not complicated. It just requires basic civility.

I once had a boyfriend who was absolutely obsessed with my reply times to his texts. If I was gone for even two minutes, his go-to phrase was "If my GF isn't talking to me, she's texting other men!" Gee, I wonder why it was so hard for him to get a girlfriend!

BP is such a sad site in that 90% of its content is ripped from Reddit. When I first got here I thought I finally found a fun feel good site with pics of history and cats. Nope! Yo BP "writers" I'm mean copy pasters, if we wanted to read reddit: WE COULD JUST GO TO REDDIT. I'm losing interest in this site because of this nonsense.

It's not just Reddit, but a lot of other sites as well. Most of the news stories on BP are copy and pasted word for word from other websites. I personally don't mind Reddit posts because this is easier than sifting through Reddit, but if you don't like it just downvote it and we as a community can encourage BP to give us more art and less Reddit!

Okay, with five exceptions out of seventy nine entries, yet another BP misandrist article “why half the human race is unworthy of love from the other half of the human race.” While in reality, billions of average, mature and well-adjusted men understand how rare and precious love actually is, and get up and go out into the world to support their families every day regardless of how unwelcoming a world it actually may be, in appreciation of that understanding.

I remember discussing with someone the viral "I punched a guy for making rape jokes" story. He was trying to tell me how the women would clearly be punched back over five times as hard, which showed that she was being stupid, which was why women shouldn't be allowed to have this many rights and we should go back to the old days....It was wild! xD

Old guy saying to me, an LGBTQ woman in her late 20s, that he hates when “women don’t know their place.” I think he’s just mad that I’m not straight, but it’s one of the reasons I no longer use Whisper.

I read a post on BP the other day that was aimed particularly at women and the comments were filled with "this is sexist", "incels posting now", etc. This post is 99% aimed against men, why the double standards? It's even sadder to see it was written by men (if you can call them that).

Not to in any way dismiss the awful, stupid, and misogynistic things the so-called men in this--and many other articles--have said and done--but an occasional article about boorish behavior on the part of women would be appreciated, if only for balance sake. Or just stick to kitty memes and funny billboards.

and coincidentally, pimps will be right there offering these precious beings the respect and consideration they deserve, plus pocket money and even association in their evil project. everything is staged, they started with exactly the same ideas 300 yrs ago when they had to extend prostitution beyond the usual poor, depressed targets, but in certain circles this happened much earlier.
