That's it, that is the question.

I'm really interested in biology but I'm too old to enroll in university, however my interest is still very much alive. Can any of you, please, share titles of the textbooks you use in your university? The more the merrier. I'm interested in EVERY possible branch of biology.

Hello. I'm 24 years old, female. It seems like every man who meets me is interested only in my youth, which is creepy as hell. I literally hear "you are so young" as a compliment, which gives me a lot of anxiety given I'm beginning to aging out of youth really soon, in 1-2 years.

When I read subs like "dating over forty", there are only women writing, and they all mention that men their age are not interested in dating them. Which screams red flag to me - it's too much of a common experience to think I will be an exception.

How am I supposed to build a long term union with an individual who will dislike me as I age? Why only the man is allowed to get older without getting called a mummy and denied visibility/sexuality?

Love doesn't exist between male and female humans, I'm 100% damn sure. Fleeting sexual attraction - yes. Love, acceptance, genuine care - no.

I'm bisexual so theoretically, I can decide to just not date men and focus on women. Although I do live in a homophobic country where same-sex marriage is illegal, and my mother will be disappointed in me not having biological children.

Would you give me some advice on how to build my life further? I really don't know what to do. Men seem to be unworthy of real loyalty and attention.

Живу з бабцею на квартирі, так, знаю, що треба більше заробляти і знімати однушку за 15к як нормальна людина, але не суть

Від неї дуже неприємно пахне. Запах тягнеться в мою кімнату навіть коли вона просто проходить по коридору, а двері зачинені. Це типовий "старчеський" душок. Вона не миється, вірогідно, через проблеми зі здоров'ям. Її родичів (дочки, внучки) поблизу немає, тому я з нею фактично наодинці.
Я вже хочу від цього вбитися. Чи є спосіб якось повпливати на цю ситуацію? Їй би, звичайно, доглядальницю, але я квартирантка зі своєю роботою (а скоро взагалі стану безробітньою на невизначений час, бо втомилась жити на мікрозарплаті) і я точно на таких умовах не заселялась.
Не розумію, як взагалі в сучасному світі жити з такими цінами на оренду... Тяжко, хоч подружку спеціально для життя разом шукай

Stupid question, genuine concern. I'm 24, a late bloomer because I wasted too much time on my degree and haven't interacted with anyone romantically since my teenage years. Also, I'm currently living in a country that prohibits homosexual marriage, so it will be a long way to go anyway.

I miss the teen years. They weren't the best, and I was depressed and severely neglected by my mom. Yet, I was surrounded by my peers who happened to be curious, open-minded and friendly. We had a lot of shared interests. We were revolving around some unimportant shit, having dramas, we lived in our small pre-adult world. Most of all, we were important to each other. People were reaching to you even if you had some problems.

Now I can't even check on most my friends because of the political climate, and I can't meet new people irl because my country is basically devastated.

All my new friends aren't as invested in being friends as I am, most of them have forgotten about my damn birthday despite actively chatting with me. Only people who knew me since ~2020 congratulated me. Well, and coworkers. They keep forgetting basic stuff about me while I'm trying to be a quality friend for them and keep myself reminded about who they are.

It truly feels like the best years are behind.

Kind of sad.

In human years :D

Not a political debate

нема кому розказувати про свого каджита який прикидається нордом :(

I'm in EXTREMELY DIRE search of people who played/are playing Skyrim to discuss it. This game is too much to just do it silently. I have questions and thoughts

still a better love story than anything in epilogues and ^2

One of them was seeing a 16-17 year old girl when he was 21+, other was straight up molesting a pre-teen when he was 25+.

How about yours?

Привіт, реддіт, нещодавно випустилась, але не хочу зупинятися в процесі навчання. Хочу почитати щось академічне, але бібліотеки футболять і не видають додому книги, бо я не студентка. Хто з вас міг би поділитися пдф файлами підручників по вашій спеціалізації? Будь-який факультет. Дякую 👉👈

would he post...?

I DON'T mean huge age gaps, but it's a fact that majority of pairs have a man that is 2-5 years older than a woman.

Which side exactly causes this? Are women filtering out younger partners, or are men filtering out older partners?

I mean long term relationships specifically, and I mean 2-5 years age gaps specifically.

Why do we have such a fuckass anatomy and physiology. Why is the childbirth option time limited. Why our children take so much time to raise compared to other animals. The moment I learned about the weakness of flesh it disgusted me.

Genuinely I feel like I will stay child free, but I'm afraid I will regret it when I'm no longer capable of having kids.

I really want to wake up and be a man instead. I'm not afraid of getting older itself but the ageism women receive is insane, not to mention the biological tax being (peri)menopause. Once you are out of your early 20s, you are an old hag/aging woman and your worth is supposedly going down. How am I expected to be okay with it? I still want to live a colourful life with romance, love, adventures. I myself remember looking down on older women when I was 16 while glazing older men for some reason. Grandmas are invisible while grandpas "still have it" in them. Being born as a human female is a cruel punishment
