can we normalize not speaking on dating or women or anything if you have no relationship experience whatsoever? i'm tired of seeing ppl answer questions with "answers" that don't make any sense.

There are better communities for that. Most of us are experience-less

Eh it’s like voting, some stupid people are gonna throw their hat in the ring but better that than trying to restrict who can vote. Just ignore the responses you find to be unreasonable

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether they have “experience” or not ts is not a job interview

Never been in a long term relationship, yet some people tell me I’ve given them the best advice they’ve heard in a long time

like if you are out here claiming all women care abt are looks or money, then i'm sorry but thats just an immediate sign you have no actual dating experience. this is a college app, no one on here is making enough money to be worried abt gold diggers. also just like men have preferences women do too and no matter what you look like some women will find you attractive, making these generalizations does nothing but make u look stupid

It's honestly a problem on all communities like this, but still if someone only wants the perspective of a man they have a right to ask men. i'm just saying to only answer questions that pertain to your experience. think of it this way, if this was called Ask Pet Owners and someone asked a question abt cats and only ppl who have dogs answered or just made a bunch of incorrect generalizations abt cats it would get annoying.

just bc they do own a pet doesn't guarantee they can answer all questions abt every type of pet. i feel like that should be common sense but apparently it's not.

it's not at all like voting. it should be common sense to not answer a question if you don't have any knowledge to answer with whatever the question is asking. again, i used this example with number one but if i only have dogs im not gonna answer a question thats abt cats.

and you also have people who pretend they do have pets but they actually have no pets at all and haven't ever owned a pet in their life but are still answering all the questions. all that does is spread misinformation and uphold pet stereotypes. like i've never had a dog and i could go around saying all they do is bark and run around and destroy your personal things and they make for awful pets. thats just not true...

I mean the examples here are a bit different. People who have never dated can still offer valuable input on things like women or men in general, whereas it makes less sense to speak as a pet owner if you aren’t one

not really, being friends with women and men is very different than dating them. i'm not gonna take advice from someone who doesn't even know what thats like.

just like being around dogs and cats isn't the same as owning them as pets.

You said not speaking “on dating or women”, meaning two separate topics. Maybe the phrasing is the issue

no i mean both dating and women as separate topics and as they correlate with each other.

well yes when its an opinion based question but when it isn't and it's something that very much pertains the the subject of either dating or women or both you should be speaking by experience. im not gonna ask someone how to bake a chocolate cake if they've never made one before. doesn't matter if they love chocolate cake and eat it everyday, actually baking one is different

That analogy is so trash. People can still learn from their other friends mistakes in relationships. They don’t need to have specific experience when they can learn from others
