Ladies, I see a lot of posts calling out the worst behavior from men on this sub. Unsolicited pics, opening with something NSFW for no reason, completely ignoring what a woman actually says she’s looking for, low effort, disappearing after getting intimate, all of that. And honestly, a lot (if not all) of those complaints are completely fair.

But can we also acknowledge that some women here move the exact same way?

The ghosting. The one word responses and conversations. Saying you want connection, consistency, effort, communication while contributing almost nothing to the conversation yourself. Expecting someone else to carry the interaction while you sit back and decide if they’re entertaining enough.

And maybe the most frustrating part is realizing you were never being taken seriously to begin with. Just a placeholder until something “better” came along. A temporary distraction. Validation. Attention. Someone to fill the boredom for a few days, hours, or one night.

Then there’s the standards conversation. Everyone is allowed to have standards, obviously. But sometimes the expectations listed here eliminate like 95% of the possible pool before a conversation even starts. “Attractive” apparently means you should be somewhere in the running for Sexiest Man Alive and have a compelling explanation for why you haven’t won yet.

Not every man here is looking for a meaningless fling, and not every woman here is genuinely looking for connection either.

There are amazing women on this sub, and I've known a few of them and had rewarding relationships. But this has been my personal experience more often than not. It gets exhausting putting in genuine effort only to realize you were just helping someone pass time.

EDIT: I know that too many women get things said to them that are absolutely disgusting. Whether it's in the initial stages of conversation or when they try to end a conversation. And it's wrong. NO ONE deserves that kind of behavior. It's unfortunate because there are good men on here and it only makes things harder for those of us who do treat women with nothing but respect.

EDIT 2: WOW. Getting the full spectrum from support to bitterness. Yes I have posted quite a lot the last month. But I've also changed and don't post anywhere near as much as I did when I first started. I'm also a lot more patient developing conversations. If that offends some of you ladies then I apologize.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I appreciate people who communicate clearly, mean what they say, and make time for things that matter to them. I value consistency, genuine interest, and anyone who shows up with intention. The best connections feel mutual from the beginning. Easy conversation, consistent effort, and two people actually wanting to know each other.

What I bring to the table:

What I offer is attention, effort, and consistency. I communicate. I flirt. I remember little details you mentioned three conversations ago. I enjoy building anticipation, inside jokes, tension, and comfort. The kind of connection that slowly becomes part of your daily routine before you even realize it.

About me:

6’0, brown hair and eyes, dad bod but I'm active and always working on improving myself. Introverted and shy by nature, thoughtful by default. I read, cook, follow sports, love history and pop culture, and firmly believe classic rock has never been improved upon.

About You:

I’m drawn to women over 30 who are intelligent, emotionally mature, affectionate, funny, still miss feeling genuinely wanted , and someone who enjoys conversation just as much as chemistry. Physical attraction matters, but emotional connection, mutual effort, and the feeling of “I can’t wait to talk to them again” matter more.

If you want someone calm, attentive, affectionate, emotionally available, and capable of making you laugh at inappropriate times, we’ll probably get along better than we should.

Happy Hump Day everyone 🐪! I’m at the point in life where I value consistency over performative, effort over excuses, and connection over endless small talk. I’m not interested in games, pressure, or one sided energy. The best connections happen when both people are equally excited to see that notification pop up.

What I bring to the table:

What I offer is consistency. Effort. Attention. I communicate, and I don’t disappear when things become real. I’m the kind of man who remembers the little things. I enjoy flirting, building anticipation, and creating a connection that feels exciting without becoming chaotic.

About me:

6’0, brown hair and eyes, working on improving the dad bod situation one walk and isometric workout video at a time. Introverted and shy by nature, thoughtful by default. I read, cook, follow sports, love history and pop culture, and firmly believe classic rock sounds better than anything after 2000.

Happy Monday everyone! Like everyone on here I'm missing something in my current relationship. I'm not looking to replace my marriage or have you blow up your life for a person you met on Reddit. I have plenty of time and effort to devote to the right relationship. What I'm missing is someone who wants to give the same.

What I bring to the table:

Consistency. Presence. Effort. I show up, not just in the easy moments, but when it matters. You’ll get honesty, attention, and a steady connection. Good mornings, good nights, and intelligent conversations that aren't just focused on sex. I notice the little things, support you without drama, and make sure you feel valued. No games. No ghosting. No nonsense.

A bit about me:

I'm 43. Married for 16 years. Father of two daughters. 6’0, brown hair and eyes, working on moving the needle from dad bod to fit. I take regular walks and do isometric exercises. I read, cook, follow sports, and embrace my nerdy side from history to pop culture. Classic rock over everything else. I'm pretty shy and introverted. You won't see me as the life of the party, but the guy who makes sure we don't run out of ice. I’m someone who enjoys simple things. Cooking on the grill, watching the ocean at sunrise, a quiet spot with a good book, music that hits the soul, and the satisfaction of creating something with my own hands, Pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and those moments of genuine affection that make life feel full.

About you:

Over 30, Intelligent, funny and warm. You’re engaging, fun to be around, and someone whose energy makes me want to put even more effort in because you're worth it. Physical attraction matters, but depth, connection and actual desire to build something matters more. I'm not looking for perfection or if you are a 10. You’ve had your heart broken before, yet you still believe in the possibility of something long term and fulfilling.

Hopefully this got a chuckle or even a cute eye roll from you. Please reach out. I'm eager to hear from you and hopefully begin our journey together.
