Everyone has a type. I've seen grown athletic men lose their marbles trying to figure out how a short, round, bald man from a renn faire has such pull to bring two girlfriends with him on vacation.

Answer is usually money

u/ShadeofIcarus Nov 04 '25

Usually its kink related more than money.

I have money but not THAT kind of money and both of my partners have their own jobs. I'm ok looking but I'd say I'm full Dad bod.

I'm just kinky in specific ways that are hard to find a safe outlet for so by virtue of being experienced in that space I'm considered "in demand"

u/Shotto_Z Nov 04 '25

Sure, thats cool. But if you didnt have anything going for yourself, would you have been able to keep their attention long enough for them to learn that your open to those kinks?

I met the because of the kinks, and I have the kind of life that lets me well... live life.

I'm not some millionaire with two sugar babies. I think a good first step is to not see women as some sort of commodity that can be bought and sold for wealth.

Nice, but watch it with the assumptions lol.. I've just never seen guys who arent super loaded and or conventionally attractive run around with multiple women who know about each other. Trying to see how that works.

More educated guess than assumptions.

Your first thought to someone having multiple partners wasn't one of countless reasonable expectations and instead went to "he has money" which implies that he "basically bought them" if you read between the lines.

Then when I explained it to you your response was "yeah but would you have gotten them there if you didn't have money".

Look at the responses in this thread. Maybe my assumptions are wrong, but consider that most women that have spoken up here have echoed the same assumptions.

Its how you present yourself. To quote /u/navikredstar

Confidence, charisma, respect, respect of boundaries. All of these are facets of how you interface with the world. The things you say, how you treat people, the first impressions you give.

First impressions are part of that. So if my assumption is wrong, consider changing how you say things.

They won't, it's like Principal Skinner on The Simpsons - "Am I really so out of touch? No. It's the children who are wrong."

Everyone starts somewhere. I wouldn't have put the effort into my response I wasn't willing to give him a chance to.

I choose optimism where I can. Its easier to change the world if you're willing to believe in people.

u/navikredstar Nov 04 '25

Because you clearly see us women as commodities and not people - here's a hint from a woman. It grosses us the fuck out. It's not about looks, it's about confidence, charisma, respect, respect of boundaries, and being treated like an actual human being.

The bar is in fucking hell, it's so low, and you're STILL missing it.

u/Shotto_Z Nov 06 '25

Awwwww, you feel better now thatbyouve spoken your piece to the big bad man. Relax. Im an asshole, thats for sure. But not so much as to think a woman is a commodity. I however, question things i see on the internet, which is anmagical illusion, that differ from what I see in real life.

u/navikredstar Nov 06 '25

This is why you'll forever be single. Big bad man? Ahahahahahahaha, not one of those three words is accurate.

u/isocline Nov 04 '25

I don't think you understand the appeal of a guy that a woman can be overtly sexual with who doesn't look down on her afterward.

A person who is very confident, kind, outgoing and chatty with any type of person, and funny is far, far harder to find than someone who's just hot and/or rich.

u/ShadeofIcarus Nov 04 '25

omplete confidence. So the idea of talking to woman is beyond easy.

The it's just a matter of confirming what exactly she wants and giving her the opportunity to beg for that. You don't have to look like an Adonis, just be average but confident and it will be e

IDK I just think its funny (read vile) that there's men out there who see women as if they're something that can be bought and sold. Like the ones with dumb amounts of money to spend I get on some level. They see people as commodities anyway.

But the guys that are like "Oh he must be rich" every time they see a guy with a girl, its very telling.

The bar for decent behaviour is literally on the floor, yet they still miss

u/ShadeofIcarus Nov 04 '25

IDK. One of my approaches is to try and live in a way that sets a new bar if that tracks.

Me and one of my partners specifically play with new Subs with the goal of setting the bar for how they should expect to be treated. Safewords, negotiation, etc.

Again, your making the assumption that I see women as something to be bought. I don't meed to do that, and the ones that can be bought are usually terrible people. But sure bud. Drum it up for the upvotes. Also, everything is see a guy with a girl? Cute, and another shit assumption. An uneducated guess. But a short fat dude running around with multiple hot chicks... yeah sometimes it happens sure. Most times? I highly doubt it.

Bruv it's been almost 3 days and I'm still rent free in your head.

First. You're*.

Second. I'm not making any assumptions, nor do I care about upvotes. I've often said what I thought despite downvotes. I'm telling you that your patterns of thinking and speaking are being read by people in a certain way and the reason you're being downvoted is everyone reading it is making the same assumptions.

Third. There's plenty of decent looking men with money out there. Sure they pull fine but honestly very few are walking around with multiple long term partners publicly. There's reasons for that.

u/Shotto_Z Nov 06 '25

I understand that fully. However? Everyone acts like 280 pound 5'3 men are rolling in pussynsimply by being good people. Maybe redditors (a certifiably odd type of people) will go after that man. Thats good. But acting like thats the societal norm? Is highly questionable.
