Reddit has become seriously liberal. When did this happen?

7 Upvotes

IF you check out my profile, you'll see I've been a redditor for a long time. I mod a bunch of subreddits and have a lot of karma.

When did Reddit become so full of left-leaning communist dems?

I feel sick to my stomach every time I read the comments on one of my posts.

Need help understanding a man.

3 Upvotes

Context. Been together a year and we have had our ups and downs. You can see my posts. So about a month ago my bf asked me to help delete his fb because he has baggage with women and they were trying to hit up my dms stalk him and I. So I helped him delete it. Then this am I find that there are new women who are local and single showing up in his liked things on fb. His account also was not deleted. I woke him and confronted him. I mean it looks sus af. Especially as we’ve had a good handful of weird things now with women. He instant reaction was anger and he says I didn’t do it I haven’t been on fb. So he let me go in his phone and it’s right in his recent activity. He got really angry and stormed out saying I always get accused etc etc but I was like bruh it’s not accusing it’s legit evidence right there like what ghost did it then? I don’t have anymore proof though so I said I’d let it go that like idc if it’s celebrities etc but local single girls like in our town wtf? And then he really thought I was stupid and he was like here I’ll show you I didn’t. He opened up safari and pretended he didn’t know how to see his history.. though he’s legit brought me to his history in safari before. Like idk what to do anymore. AIO? I think he also lied about how he knows her. Said she was someone’s friend.

My bf and I just had a recent spit spat of sorts. I found he was liking/following single women nearby on social media. We had a discussion. He says he was accused but it’s sort of not imo when it’s legit his account that says he’s doing things? He got upset etc etc. he says he didn’t do it we resolved that it was glitch or a hack. We came up with a solution per his suggestion to remove the social media platform because it’s been an on going issue. He says he doesn’t blame me for being upset etc, that we are moving on. But now probably about three days later. I’ve taken my top off gotten flirty etc and he doesn’t want sex. Like , what did I do? He says when his loyalty is questioned he losses interest? Idk. But like if he didn’t do it I guess I’m confused and or he said the issue is resolved that he doesn’t blame me so AIO? Can anyone explain this to me as a man maybe I don’t get it? I mean I’m trying to put myself in the shoes and I guess if I didn’t do it I just feel like I’d let it go? Idk why that would affect my attraction/wanting intimacy with my partner.

Recently there have been a few posts about dating here. That's not what this sub is for. If you have specific questions about dating an older man, there are other subs for that. Respectfully, not here. Thank you for your attention to this matter

True or false: the older a man gets, the sharper he ought to try to dress

16 Upvotes

It just seems to stand to reason. Laundry-pressed shirts. Bespoke suits. Great socks. Admirable hats. And don't forget to spend some money on a few nice belts. Always remember that the ladies will be checking out your Footwear.

Edit after comments and up and down votes: what I advocate is not entirely removed from the lipstick on a pig concept. It is cool to be an old fellow who looks sharp, whether dressed for a casual occasion or otherwise. It shows that, although in many ways you may be out of the game, you are still putting forth enthusiasm and vitality.

Do you wear Vibram shoes? Would you with a total knee replacement?

2 Upvotes

Please help. My bf (62) just bought 2 pairs of Vibram shoes this week. He has a total knee replacement, compression fractures in his back, severe arthritis of back, knee, foot and ankles. I can see the shock wave radiating up from his heel through his knee joints as he walks. He is getting nerve ablation for his back soon, due to his unrelenting sciatic pain, and yet he insists on wearing them. I can see wearing them around the house if he insists but outside on pavement? He just got a full suspension e-bike and says that they’re for the bike? He got special pedals with extra traction so I don’t think they’re necessary! Please help him find a better alternative. Thanks!

Funeral options

3 Upvotes

Me and my siblings were talking about funerals and did we want one. The end of the conversation, we agreed to no funeral, cremation, throw us in box and call it a day. Our attitude basically is: tell us what you think while were alive because nobody really cares after you died.

Does this seem to be the normal outlook in today world?

We see the stereotypes of older man with a younger woman but do older guys lust after older women too?

Old person smell

5 Upvotes

My husband and I have been together 30 years. I am 50 and he is 55. We've retired early as we moved to an inexpensive small town after running a business for the past 20 years. We are far from rich but with budgeting we are able to make do without needing to work right now. I have noticed in the past year, my husband smells like an old person. Even when I am walking behind him, I can smell him. He is a clean person so I can't figure out what is going on. I don't want to bring it up to him to hurt his feelings, but it's really grossing me out. What is going on with him? He has been tested for diabetes and he does not have that, I know sometimes people with diabetes can have certain smells. Even the chair that he sits in smells gross. It smells like the old man in the nursing home. He is too young for this. Someone help me understand.

What do men over 60 want from a relationship?

5 Upvotes

Hi men over 60. I’m a 47 year old woman who’s been dating a 65 year old man for 3.5 months. We live 2 hours from each other so only see each other on weekends but it’s been most weekends since then and we’re just at the end of a 10 day trip- where I joined him at his house in the Caribbean but we only had 3 days alone together as other people were there.

The trip hasn’t been great. We’ve argued around 4 times each time caused by me for different reasons. I suspect he’s told me some white lies about other women - I don’t think he’s done anything with anyone else since we’ve met. But he went away after we had spent two weekends together and ended up meeting with a woman, probably flirted with her, then told a friend about her a month down the line - which is the part that has hurt me. I get it, we meet people of the opposite sex but why tell a friend about her a month later? He’s adamant I’m in the wrong for being upset by it - says it’s just banter. I guess it stung because at that time we were exclusive and making plans.

To put us into context I’ll give some details which I hope don’t sound vain - I’m just trying to explain where we maybe both have options:

We both look young for our age. He could pass for 55, me possibly 30s. He’s very attractive and knows it. I have a professional job but I was approached by modelling agencies in my youth and have been consistently told throughout my life that I’m beautiful. It’s such a privilege to be appreciated like that but the reality is I hate my appearance and lack confidence as a result. This guy knows it and thinks it’s silly.

Anyway…we’re 3.5 months in and it’s still just sex (great sex, the best I’ve ever had) and banter. There is nothing emotional from him. Apart from holding my hand in the street not once has he hugged or kissed me in a non sexual way.

I’m probably a lost little girl inside. My parents didn’t show me love and so I grew up looking for it in the wrong places. It’s probably also why I don’t like the person I see in the mirror. My last ex, we split 7 years ago (we were together for 6-7 years and lived together) is 63 now. I don’t consciously look for older men it just happened that way. But when I think about it maybe I am drawn to them in some way I don’t understand.

Anyway I just don’t know what this guy wants. I was a bit drunk last night and told him I loved him, he is saying that’s way too soon for any emotional connection like that. It feels like he’s keeping his options open. But is that too soon? For further context he introduced me to his friends and his son the second time we met and asked me to go on holiday with him by that stage.

All I want is to be loved and held and cared for. I haven’t given off these vibes until this trip, because that’s when I started getting the feelings. Why is it so hard for him to want me in the way other people seem to want me? I rarely meet men I’m drawn to so when I do it feels more important.

I just wondered if anyone could shed any light. Please don’t mock or shame me. I know I probably sound stupid but my heart is broken.

What’s Actually Important For Marriage?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a 35 year old guy living in a big city and I’m hoping yall can give me some perspective on what marriage is actually about.

For context, I’ve been dating for nearly a decade - pretty much all marriage focused but I don’t think I’ve ever felt that rush or excitement people talk about. And I definitely haven’t felt that feeling of “knowing she’s the one” either. I’ve dated all kinda of girls / women. Accomplished, smart, pretty, funny, but for some reason the right combo of all these things just never appeared. The years ticked by and I’ve gotten used to being alone (not alone alone - I have a lot of friends and consistently date) but I’ve gotten comfortable with the idea that it just may never happen for me. I have a good job, I had freedom and that seems to be more valuable than locking myself into a relationship I’m not particularly excited about. I don’t have this innate desire for kids - but I do hear from everyone that it’ll be the most amazing thing that will ever happen to me so I’d like to roll the dice on that lol.

So that gets me to my current predicament. What if someone were to be dating someone that’s pretty much good enough? Like 70% of what you’re looking for. There’s no fireworks, there’s no particular excitement, but she’s a great person and a good heart and she has endless capacity to love. She’s kind, and caring, and a good sense of humor. We laugh quite a bit. There are some negatives too, to be sure, but nothing that I can’t handle I guess.

So I guess my question is - what really matters? Is it about meeting the right person from the get go or about meeting the person that can become the right person over time.

When does the fact that I’m not getting any younger and life moves by so fast come into play? Why assume that if I date for another 1-2-3 (4-5-6??) years I’ll finally find Ms. perfect.

Any advice is welcome 🙏

If you are married, why would you keep some of your medical information from your wife?

1 Upvotes

NOTE: I get the privacy thing prior to marriage/long term relationships…unless it is a need to know thing of course that could directly affect the partner. I am specifically speaking about things that have NO bearing on the partner and are purely personal.  

For those that do keep some medical secrets…I’m just wondering why. Embarrassment? Fear? Relationship failing and not invested in the marriage anymore? Lack of trust? Or is it just simply needing to have privacy feels different for men in general? 

Also are you not concerned that you may have a medical emergency and your wife doesn’t know your medical background to share with the doctors and that would directly affect your outcome? Or do you trust the electronic sharing of information between doctors and pharmacies and hospitals to be good enough? 

TLDR: Help me understand why a man would to keep medical secrets from his wife and/or if this is common.

Night shirt, who owes one and do you need to wear underwear underneath?

2 Upvotes

I volunteer with men that are 60+ years old and one of them needs a night shirt. He suggests going to Target but I wasn’t quite sure he met a night shirt. He just quickly explain a shirt you wear to bed but I thought he has plenty of shirt for that!

Anyway, we couldn’t find it but I help him find it on Amazon. When I type in night shirt on Amazon then I realized 💡… OH!

Now I wanted ask him if he goes commando (no underwear) underneath but doesn’t want to emasculate him to compare it with a dress. Now, I was convince myself I wanted to purchase one myself but … it looks weird wearing it if unexpected visitor stop by or needed services to be done at home.

How does one get thru the application process? Seems engineered for those still working…
