Navigating Dating Apps, Misogynistic Fathers & One-Sided Friendships

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse.
One-sided friendships, navigating the new world of modern dating & pulling up your aging parents on their misogynistic views.

This week in the inbox:

I’m at an age where a lot of my friends are in long term relationships and I’m starting to feel increasingly detached from them as they move forward with their new lives. I struggle with these apps and dating as I feel like a commodity to try out for most people. I would like to know your thoughts on navigating the dating landscape in hopes it is helpful to me and others.
My father is now in his mid seventies and voicing his misogynistic thoughts and views more than ever before. Particularly around women being deserving of rape if they dress or behave a certain way. I was raped in my early 20s and other than my therapist, no-one in my family or friend circle knows about it. Is there a way that I can talk to him about this, or is he now of an age where he is set in this viewpoint?
I have a best friend of over 10 years who never invites me out. Any time that we get together, it's because I've initiated and organised it. It's really starting to bother me and I'm afraid I'll start to resent her. Am I just being insecure? Should I ask her why she never tries to organise anything with me?

Whether To Tell Your Date You're a Mum, Triggers From The Past & Kindness

Is kindness rewarded in men but expected in women? Are you obliged to include that you’re a mother in your dating profile? And how to handle traumatic reminders of the past...

In the inbox this week:

A male friend and I both travel for work semi-regularly. In all my years of travelling, I have not once, ever, received an upgrade. He, on the other hand, cops upgrades at every turn, without asking for them. This friend said he likes to think that kindness begets kindness - and rewards - and I said that in my experience, women's kindness only begets thanks or apologies. Are men rewarded for being polite, while it's just expected of women?
I'm a single mum to young kids in my mid 30's. I've just started to consider dating again. I've downloaded a few of the apps but haven't put that I'm a mother on them. I've noticed a few men get irritated that I've omitted this from my profile. Do I need to be adding the fact that I have children to my profile so people are aware from the very beginning?
Recently a male from my past has contacted me - someone who acted as a predator when I was 16-17 and he was 20. He took complete advantage of me and was honestly just a shitty person to me. I am now 26, happy and successful. I just feel like I don’t know how to respond to this and maybe I’m overreacting in that I feel quite shaken up about it. Help!
