So I personally miss a lot of the good answers that older women used to give on GaG years ago. So much has changed with the demographics on the Internet and social media since then, and a post-COVID world has made people a little less human.

Once upon a time you used to see really great answers on this site from females but especially the older ones in their 40s and up that were rich and detailed with serious life perspective and experience about men. Even if you didn't always agree with their thoughts, there was always something you could get out of it. Plus I would have tons of great discussions with them in DM, and not just here but on other old dead sites too like Answerbag and ExperienceProject.

I feel like most women's answers nowadays lack that depth because many are inexperienced even if they are dating or having sex, or at least not learning about either themselves or men from those experiences. Many give answers only just to have something snarky to say that bears no real life knowledge, or their only response is to attack some guy and call him an incel, or they give literal two or three word answers. It just looks like you haven't learned a lot in life that you can offer anyone.

But what do you guys think? Who do you feel like gives the best sex/relationship advice or perspectives on GaG?

Yesterday evening I sent one of my team members on Discord a message that stated how she's very short but not as short as my ex. Earlier this morning, I tried to message her to inquire if she wanted to participate in working on the MVP, but I discovered that I wasn't able to send her any messages. I right clicked on her profile to check what's going on and appeared that she unfriended me; assuming the worst, I decided to send her a friend request and as predicted, she had blocked me. I then went over to LinkedIn and sent her screenshots to ask her why she blocked me, and then she blocked me there within seconds (very odd since she takes forever to respond there lol).

I have since removed her from my pitch deck and my business license (via government website), as well as permanently banning her from my startup's Discord server. Since she was allegedly already in a tech startup of her own similar to mine in industry/sector, it was a conflict of interest for her to remain in the team anyways. I understand that I have to be professional with others in a business setting, but if she can't even handle an observation that was a bad joke at worst, she's not gonna succeed with her own startup even if it is not-for-profit. There's a lot of assholes out there in the workforce that are gonna say much ruder things than I ever would within a professional environment.

If in a group setting, with or without your man, and someone talks smack about your man, do you stick up for him? Do you publicly back his move?

Like in your dreams they cheat on you but irl they haven't but you still feel traumatized or angry about the dream and take it out on your partner?

If you've never done that, have you ever had that done to you?

here's some reddit posts i saw that made me think of this question lol https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/hrvo59/my_gf_is_mad_at_me_because_of_a_dream_she_had/

Just FYI you should never unconditionally love and respect someone who is a legitimate abuser and/or cheater. Nor should you unconditionally love someone who has no respect for you.

I say “legitimate” abuser because some people have made broadened out what is and what isn’t abuse. One example would be Jonah Hill’s ex girlfriend her so called “emotional” abuse allegations over Jonah’s texts. That wasn’t “abuse”. It just wasn’t what she wanted hear. All she had to do was say “well that isn’t going to work for me” and walked away. She wasn’t a victim or a slave.

But anyway most people should know what is and isn’t legitimate abuse. But do women expect more out of men then vice versa out when it comes to this?

For example women seem to demand more respect from men when a man breaks up. But when a woman breaks up with a man he’s usually expendable so anything goes on how she treats him during the process regardless if he did or did nothing wrong. Respect is optional.

Same goes when a polite man approaches her and she’s not interested. Society tells her it’s okay to be rude. But men don’t get that leeway when the roles are reversed.

This morning my buddy Adrian came over while my girlfriend was in the shower. My girlfriend came out of the shower to say hi to Adrian. Wearing just pants with no shirt covering her breasts with her left arm. I told to go back and get dressed and she went and hugged Adrian topless. Adrian and my girlfriend both laughed and said I’m being insecure. I was really pissed about this and blocked Adrian’s number and looking for a new place to live. Am I overreacting?
