Polls: Relationships

Who do you think learns from their mistakes - or even their partner's mistakes - and overall learns from their experiences in relationships with the opposite sex?

I feel like men do because you have guys out there who don't know what they had till it's gone, and that was a serious wake up call for them. And as dudes get older they will be honest and tell you how they messed up in a relationship. But also you have a lot of guys who were really very good to a woman and she was the one who took that completely for granted and walked away, and although it leaves those guys pretty broken, they eventually develop motivation from that breakup and do and become a lot better than where they were before. Even those videos from Coach Craig Kenneth profiled guys who wrote letters to him about their devastating breakup but how they later on became a lot stronger and were doing better things with their lives, and then that's when their ex girlfriends came back but the guys were no longer interested, or questioned if they even wanted to be back together.

I notice that women very rarely ever talk about mistakes they made in a relationship, how they regretted hurting the other person, or even how they could've done better. They will more often blame men for problems they had or for the bad relationship period, never taking any responsibility for their failures in it. They also tend to keep going back to guys who are toxic and don't even give a shit about them but turn their backs on guys who really do. I feel like the mentality of a lot of women is to just keep moving to the next guy and the next, or going back to what is problematic but familiar, instead of changing what's going on inside themselves.

But what do you guys think?

Especially if he’s young? I keep hearing that women don’t like balding guys, especially if they’re short. Here to see what the ladies have to say.

That is what I think I have been missing from my life. That is also why I want a relationship and do want to date someone 🥰🥰🥰

What do you think?

What are your thoughts? When I mean "first love", I mean first romantic bond. Not sex.

Story:
I met a devout Catholic girl who was 18. I was 25 at the time. She never even had a male friend before she met me. We talked for months and I finally met her. She discovered I wasn't her type, although I liked her. I am sick to my stomach to learn she is marrying some other guy in April 2022. I am still hurting till this day over it, despite her not being a real girlfriend to me.

I seek a woman just like her (when we first met, not the way she is now of course). I want me and a woman to be each other's first loves.

As an agnostic, I've carefully think of it. Honestly, I would not. Been religious is not my thing. I can't see myself with a religious woman.
