Basically I am new to reddit and I don't really know how things work, I read the rules and tried my best to adhere to them. While this is not flat out mean, it just seemed very petty and condescending on Bluequail's behalf. This was a post on r/needadvice.
My post:
I know this will sound very conceited but something that has been playing on my mind, and advice would be greatly appreciated :) (self.needadvice)

I am kind of new to reddit so please forgive me if I didn't do something right. I just want to say I KNOW this sounds like a 'humblebrag' or like I am showing off but I want to say I sincerely worry about this issue. I have seen a lot of people on here asking for advice on being the less attractive friend and dealing with resentment they have towards their more attractive best friend. I kind of have the opposite problem, I have run into this over and over where eventually my friends begin to resent me, because men that they have shown interest in have gotten close to them long enough to ask about me and then completely ignore them. I lost my best friend like this, and I have another best friend now. She is honesty amazing, so selfless has a huge heart, very fun to be around, drama free, and I really appreciate how she ALWAYS has my back, never badmouths me and is constantly looking out for me. But unfortunately yet again, all of her romantic interests bypass her completely and ask about me. I am really afraid of this getting in the way of our friendship. As a female who has struggled maintaining close female friends I really don't want to lose this friendship as well. I am a 22 year old female just for reference. Thanks in advance!

I've been here for many, many years, and... I've never seen that problem submitted even one time. Maybe you were thinking of a different sub.
My response:
I meant on reddit in general, not just this sub. I guess on reddit 'on here' is specific to the sub? Sorry, wasn't aware of that, I'm new to reddit, like I said.
Bluequail's response:
I really don't care how you phrased it, not that big a deal. But I just wanted to make sure other people didn't think that it was something that occurred on here on a regular basis.
Anyhow, since this is an issue that circles dating problems, I've removed it. We have links to the dating advice subs in the sidebar.
I feel like my post really offended bluequail personally for some reason, obviously that's not an issue I can discuss with people IRL, without coming off as a totally self-absorbed prick. That's why I thought I'd try my luck there anonymously. Don't understand why he/she needed to be so weird about it....Also I don't think that had anything to do with dating/romance issues in anway, and if Bluequail felt that way why didn't they remove it when they first saw it? Makes no sense.
