Redditor Confused Why Their Dating Advice Got People So Angry, Hilarity Ensues

Reddit is one of the best message boards on the internet. With so many different subreddits to explore, you're sure to find something that fits your interests. And, if you're looking for advice, you're sure to find someone who's been in a similar situation and is willing to help you out. That's what happened in a particular dating group this week, but when the person who responded with advice didn't like the response they got, they turned to the Am I The A*****e subreddit to see what everyone thought of the situation. So, let's see what you think, too. Was their response justified? Is it good dating advice anyway?

What happened is this: some random person posted about wishing that their partner would consider giving up their pet. That made someone else comment and say they really think people should only date partners who have the same willingness to care for pets as they do. Then, the first person snapped and started yelling at the kind soul who came to give them advice! This pet-hater even had the audacity to say that the person trying to help them was being misogynistic, just for giving advice that they didn't want to hear. Other people started rallying to the commenters defense, but ultimately, they turned to AITA. In our opinion, they weren't, but that's something you're going to have to decide for yourself after reading the post, and the comments that came after. But, after reading, be sure to let us know what you think! And, be sure to keep scrolling to check out more incredible content just like this on Animal Comedy.

This Isn't Such A Tough One

We usually make it a point not to comment on threads like this. For some reason, we feel like it causes more trouble than it's worth. But, hats off to good samaritans like this one for stepping up and trying to help others. Still though, it can't feel good for that to be the response you get, especially if you were just trying to help!

That Sounds More Than Reasonable

One of the top comments on the post was this, and we found it to be pretty apt. People need to have similar desires in their relationship, and if you're somebody who never wants pets, you can't be dating people who have them. On top of that, if someone is willing to give up a pet, it says a lot about the levels of affection that they can develop, and seems like a massive red flag.
