In the real world, no one cares about these kinds of reddit opinions fwiw. If you focus on improving yourself for a fucking long time things will usually work out. You just need to be smart about what you really want and push for it relentlessly - if the standards of women are bullshit high then you need to reach them anyway.
I just go on here to remind myself that I still can feel empathy for people who've obviously fucked up their lives by stullting around. There are plenty of lolcow women to have a laugh at that make it fun too though ;)
For so many men this is an instant hard pass, not merely a red flag. It's not like there aren't people out there willing to date single parents, but usually those are also single parents (or guys just looking for a quick root).
As long as you're paying rent to your parents and helping out around the house or some fair exchange of those, and saving hard to move out. Living at my parents' house by 25 was too much for my sense of being a burden so I moved out and now we're on great terms even though things weren't exactly bad between us all before. It's worth it. Work towards independence!
100% that it can take one miscalculation or even the slightest oddity to end things, but amusingly major errors can sometimes go completely unchecked. Like strolling through a minefield where not every bomb is active. Dating is so fun!
We're all human, women want to have sex and meaningful lives too, and putting someone on a pedestal will never result in a healthy relationship. This guy seems like he's worked things out a little and good for him.
When it comes down to that sort of standing up for yourself against an entire civilisation in collapse, you need to pick a hill you're willing to die on. It's no small thing.
Shit, I'd hate to be in her shoes. Having those sorts of past actions building into consequences will be rough as guts! Who would have guess your actions have consequences

This is potentially character development. I'd certainly give someone like that a chance. She's had an ephiphany 8 years earlier than most (or at least pretends to) and that's something.
Nothing chameleon about them discussing what they want openly and honestly. It might not be what anyone wants to see but it isn't dishonest, though its payoff might be.
Have been friends with a woman I slept with. It's a dynamic that can work but you need to understand that you're not on her radar and to go for someone else.
