Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

From the username, I did say it been a while that I hope things get better for
but be to be honest, have someone yo take the time of day to compliment you and not just catcall you is a nice thing and this might sound ridiculous but it also takes courage to do so
I've never been catcalled before but a woman did flash her tits at me once. She yelled "is that your girlfriend?" and I yelled back "yes" and she flashed me. Didn't like that... dunno why someone would do that. Oh well. That relationship is over. She cheated on me after I was faithful for 7 years. It be like that sometimes. Oversharing much? lol. Anyway, I've been trying to find a partner since, but I only ever get approached by gay men. It's flattering of course, but I'm a hetero male (I think) and women never, ever approach me. What's up with that? Surely if gay men find me attractive, women might too, but the responsibility to approach is on me for some god-forsaken reason and I am too afraid to approach anyone. Why does it have to be like this? Rhetorical question of course, the answer is heteronormativity, but you'd think with the prevalence of feminism that this would be less of a factor. I don't know what I'm trying to say, I'm drunk right now. Rant over
I'm gonna be the third guy to tell you that you are hot as fuck. I find it admirable that you talk about your feelings so openly. That's rare for a guy. I think many of your thoughts are well developed as you present them here and relatable. I'd be happy if you dropped me a PM some time, you sound like a great guy to know.
