I'm not disagreeing that's likely, I'm saying, they'd only come back if the person they met up with didn't work out. And predicting who wouldn't work out is incredibly difficult. As much as who would work out. Again, I know people who have current partners from the app they met within the last year. Obviously it hasn't ended in marriage yet, but, luck. Why would some people be finding a person they can last with and others aren't. Luck.

An algorithm just connects folks, they're still strangers who have to talk and meet up and date. My brother would have met his wife, hmmm mathing. 2018 maybe? My friend it would have been 2023. Again, they can't control if the people actually hit it off. That's where luck enters.

I'm not disagreeing you can to some extent guess, dude. I'm saying it's pretty hard to control for and give someone the one or not. To go back to my example, my brother went on about 20 dates before he met his now wife. My best friend went on two before meeting her husband. There's no clear rhyme nor reason. It's luck.

I'm guessing it's all the penis puns this lends itself to? I've never had a problem with a boys bathroom, boy scouts, men's leagues of any kind, male sports, whatever. The armed forces. The only way I would oppose it is if it is a place somehow connected to the halls of power or promotion. And my opposition wouldn't do much, honestly. I think this is just cringe because of the thing it's about. And the penis puns. Both. If you had a man only yoga retreat that'd be cool. I support a boy's night. …

Life without such choices is quite a dubious proposition in terms of positivity. Things are quite desperate if the best you can say is "I'm not dead or in a ditch". Gratitude for this is useful for emotional optimism, but not so much genuine I'm blessed. I hardly think not thinking you should have to wed or fuck for them is entitlement. I live in a place immigrants come to and I gotta tell you....nope. Frankly, most move here and ruin it and take it for granted in ways people born into it never …

I am not claiming they were servants. I'm claiming they could not at varying degrees freely choose their dating and romantic lives...and that it is a good thing they can now. And I find the hint that they should be thankful for what they did get because the other option was death or destitution to be....suspicious at best. Is it real gratitude if you couldn't choose anything else is a real question. Are they thankful...or is this more groveling attempts to ingratiate yourself with a system and p…

Have never seen churches overruling anything. They were generally part of the mechanism of control. And most often men were picking who they wanted and seeking approval...not by talking to the girl if you catch my drift.

Hard disagree. Entitlement is about feeling like you are owed something. The fact he manages not to have even darker feelings or to hold back from acting them doesn't change the first emotion from being entitlement...it's just a question how deep and dark that gets.

I agree men have experienced this as well, although rarely related to romance and sex. Women's sexuality and commitment was seen as property of men or their only good worth trading. Which sources would you like me to use...because all the ones I've studied suggest parental permission and feudal lords decided who women could wed...thus all the Shakespeare plays about using trickery on men to get a match your parents would not have accepted.

Bisexual is separate from being men or women. It's like being, I dunno a nerd or a jock. It comes with a set of characteristics and generalize behaviors. How those are carried out and exhibited will be influenced by other things like say gender. Yes, generally regardless of gender they will be more messy. How may differ, but chaos and mess will be attached. Beyond chaos and mess how someone deals with chaos and mess will be influenced by gender and how they perceive bisexuality will also be infl…

Half aren't failing in the more recent generations. That half stat is generally misleading. Not sure where your evidence the person who initiated the failure is the one who benefits most is coming from either. I don't think we need an alternative. We just need people not rushing into things and more preparation for marriage without cohersion to get married.

Yes, absolutely. Men like hot and aren't as turned off by messy. So this is sensible. They always think that threesome is gonna happen. Men and women have different sexuality and risk taking tendencies. So no, you would not expect to see a woman chasing a threesome with some hot bi baddies.

If you wish to appeal to legal code, I don't think we'll have much to say. The historical and literary record is replete with examples of arranged marriages, forced marriages, and women being given to men as property. Following that era, the social and financial pressures forced women to marry men they were not interested in and in many cases barely tolerated simply to survive. It was really by my mother's era women had the freedom to truly choose a partner.

Question: are all 40 year olds rich in this fantasy you've made up? I'm pretending like it matters. Most 20 year old women aren't attracted to most 40 year olds men. When I was 20, they were considered gross and creepy in the overwhelming 99% of cases.

I never tried to date another woman or a bi woman, so nothing I'm about to say is special to gay or bi men: The way LGBT people have been forced to live their lives up until say the last 20 years and even persisting still tends to create what I personally would consider higher degrees of confusion, sexual degeneracy (being into comically weird shit off putting to most people, especially women), secrecy, and mistrust. Young people are already messy and stupid. Being even half gay increases the me…

Women also didn't have to trust because no one really cared if she trusted because she was property. I personally like the freedom I had to choose. I'm sorry if people struggle to communicate their trustworthiness to each other in a world where women don't have to do as they're told.

Not at all, only some kinds of disagreement would be evidence of the pathology. It would also really help if non traumatized men were to be in agreement with the red pill philosophy to a strong degree. There are almost only men drawn to it after painful experiences. Nearly exclusively. As in I haven't met the healthy among you...but it did is the problem. There isn't a leader of the red pill framework who doesn't begin from their place of trauma. And that is going to badly bias the outcome of ob…

Lmao. Me advocating self defense is not the same as advocating truly draconian tyranny and near enslavement of men. Nor is me advocating taking the risk suicidal men pose to their families seriously by sharing information and asking questions in order to prevent loss of life the same as basically suggesting men be placed in gimp suits.

Wait...you actually want women to react to the reality of how some men have generically treated us despite not being able to instantly terminator style sense which men are safe and unsafe? I mean if you insist...ahem. I think men should rounded up into camps have their willies caged and have to wear handcuffs, feet cuffs, and a shock collar to leave their houses.

They wouldn't recognize it because it is the thing they are protecting their payche from dealing with. I'm not describing what red pill is exactly. I'm describing essentially the presuppositions and framework that informs the understanding of dating. The pattern reading software.

Mostly just introspection on what wasn't working, what caused the demise of things, lots and lots of podcasts, giving up, meeting the right person, and then working like the dickens not to repeat previous fatal errors. If you mean meeting folks: just did my thing and let fate carry me to my husband so we shared commonalities of some degree. Actually, hilariously, he's both the person I've shared the most commonalities with and the least hobbies and focused interests.

I love when men present my mockery of their facade of stoicism and control as me shaming their feelings. When the feelings are in the room with us I will treat their vulnerability gently. As long as I am being asked to indulge their mask of superior control, the mockery remains and is for their own good as much as mine. They need to know the only person they're fooling is themselves.

Vocaloid. No, they aren't. They're just less overt in their brokenness. I understand it isn't Marilyn Manson obvious, it's like Kurt Cobain obvious. No you don't because you are not stupid, sir. You realize these things are unrelated and that really none of this is about what you say. It's about your fears of a relationship souring or going badly and what that could entail. But you aren't interested in confronting those feelings. Which is why I say men don't talk about their feelings really. If …

Honestly, I'd tell red pill men to date an aardvark in a Hatsuna Miku cosplay if I thought they'd do it because that too would be better than the negativity spiral they're in. Ahh yes, I forgot that the science shows it is best not to have things in common with your partner. Because the entire purpose of relationships is to avoid giving leverage to anyone.

Uh huh. Sure it is. That's why men spend so much time sharing their "field reports" about "female behavior" that seems to have shockingly little to do with getting laid and an enormously strange amount of listing grievances, traumas, damages, mistreatments, injustices, and sorrows. Now, I've never tried to bed a woman, but I can't say a tirade about how someone has been mistreated by women seems like a tactic I'd try.

Eh, it's not necessarily true they're making it that way. Bad luck is entirely possible. My brother found his wife there and my BFF met her husband. But my other BFF has gone through the jungles of dating apps and just seems genuinely cursed despite looking for her husband and being pretty reasonable as far as I've ever seen. I think people don't account for bad luck enough with online dating. Knowing how to use it won't fix fate being a bit of a damn sweet time taker.

It is true. We attend almost anything involving a good cheese plate. Especially if there's fruit too and perhaps some adorable little crackers?

I feel like the point of the red pill is for men to deal with their traumas and emotions without having to say effeminate things like "working through trauma" or "dealing with my emotions" or using the f word (feelings). Instead they turn those things into a conspiracy theory that they must "think their way through" using facts, logic, statistics, analysis, science, and philosophy. You know. Traditionally masculine things which women don't really do because they don't match their shoes very well…

They were in the past, dude. Women having choice over pregnancy is a relatively novel idea caused by science more than some actual change in our biology. And no, I won't cease the comparison because the comparison is about being biologically suited to something. Not a political autonomy. If you wish to go there, men too have choice. They just cannot remain a member in good standing with that nation if they don't fight.

To be fair to them, they do advocate for this inclusion. Frankly to a frustrating point to anyone that actually believes in biological realities like men being physically more suited for certain gigs by not a small mile. War and child birth are those weird areas where you can't really shake the fact each gender is significantly the correct answer to the problem. Men can't have the babies so life is already stacked in their favor pretty significantly. Women can technically fight in war, but we're…

I think there's an accuracy here to some extent and I think a lot of the pain we see on this front is coming from bad or absent parents, a lack of mentor figures, and a lack of platonic love between men and a refusal to bask in platonic love from women if erotic love is unavailable. But, I also think a lot of people jump from being loved for mere existence to confusion and outrage and not being selected for erotic or romantic companionship. And the problem is that both include a survival and att…

They would not say she didn't want sex with them when they tell events. They would say she had to be seduced, persuaded, set at ease, or any other number of weird rephrasings of "I pressured her". And then with the forgotten from the record part. She said yes, so she was always open to it so I didn't pressure her, she could have said no, etc. So well known is this that Always Sunny has a fabulous scene on it.

If someone is approaching relationships with a fuck you, bitch, pay me attitude...I can only assume they are not seeking anything long term...or healthy. Now, if your advice to men is to look for some kind of reciprocated affection then I whole heartedly agree. But if this is just bean counting dollars and cents...well, as your therapist, are you sure you want a relationship at all? Like seriously, it's allowed to not be cut out for this whole love thing.

It's complicated. I think those stats accurately reflected my experience of men. Clearly, not every man is doing all of those things or even any of those things. But most men have a script and mindset at the start (we're talking say starting at maybe 15 to 16) that you kind of need to trick or pressure women into bed and so long as they eventually say yes, everything before that is forgotten from the record. Now, many grow out of this, largely, I expect because women receive them so poorly for t…

It sounds like you're inventing interpretations of the author methodology in order to pretend men ain't doing manipulative shit. Which I get, but is outlandish.

Where would you put this in the survey of actions, cuz I ain't seeing it. But maybe I missed it. I don't think many of the guys are thinking "i massaged a knot out of the neck of my girlfriend and then her mood shifted". It doesn't make any sense that they are thinking this. What you did was loving and not with the intent to get sex unless I'm misunderstanding you. And again, pre established relationship. This didn't seem to be about pre established relationships.

Cool. You coerced women into relationships with you. Call it what it is at least. You can't get a woman to freely consent to you.

O.o I shouldn't be surprised, but everything under 2 is coercive and unacceptable. It's not ambiguous or flirting. And 1 is very clearly indicating lying. A significant amount of 3 is coercion, what the fuck. Almost none of that is acceptable with the exception of focusing on a stranger. .< this isn't making men look better that you think a lot of this is just flirting or proving status. No wonder y'all never understand how many bad men there are. If a man is trying to isolate me and won't stop …

Most of standing up is verbal, not physical. It's saying something is wrong. Most evil people are cowards, very few are any more physically capable than the weaklings. Just expressing something is unacceptable would be plenty. I know, I'm a woman and stand up for folks regularly.

Well, what do you wish their origin story was? Kidnapped by the cartel? I think you get my point about attractiveness. They see this as a portal to getting a tall hot rich man who is very clear about why they're together and doesn't want a real connection. He wants a hot woman that can be bought and presented without the moral hang up of prostitution. Don't call it a threat, call it wishful thinking.

They resent you for your perceived angelic superiority and their inferiority. 3. They grow in their controlling behavior. They become borderline emotionally abusive in terms of their consistent degradation, attacks, verbal cruelty, insults, and finding fault. Everything is about making sure you're beneath them and that you kn…

You don't wish to speak, I'm agreeing you are not useful to speak to due to a projecting, assuming, inability to read, and lack of emotional intelligence. Clearly, you have some trauma here around people saying that line. I'm sorry you haven't resolved it and let it destroy conversations. I was suggesting almost everyone has experienced people making them feel unattractive in a consistent way. That's what I'm not unique meant. I was suggesting this is not about seeking pity, but rather explainin…

These women have all had other options. It may shock you, but they actually adore these men. Love is more complex than people here think. Hotter women want hotter men.

Pain motivates us all differently. Those men are becoming that extreme due to the pain never finding an outlet. I'm not pretending I'm unique, yes, men are often awful to all sorts of women of all sorts of sizes and walks. The threats and stalking and harassment are the anger. They're also the cry for help. This is vengeance. Vengeance is caused by pain which is then made anger which if there's no outlet becomes rage and vengeance. I'm not condoning this behavior either. I'm saying they aren't o…

You confuse not wanting to mother someone with not wanting to nurture. And I present to you the difference: a child, especially a baby is entirely dependent upon you. It lives and dies based on your nurturing, it requires your attention body and soul to persist and exist. Which is beautiful because it is genuinely helpless without you and should be. The need is genuine. I'm sorry if any person did not experience the all sacrificing love of a mother. Genuinely, that sucks. But it is not the place…

Men constantly made fun of me for being a boy, a skeleton, a pancake, I must have an eating disorder (I didn't, I was always a healthy weight, just a more naturally elfish body type).

I basically agree although I want to say as a young woman you don't quite have this categorized insight down pat yet. You just have an internal dread near some men and not others. You have a feeling you could ask them your middle name and they wouldn't know even if you'd just told. Now, is this a perfect system ever? No. But you are onto something. I think the problem for let's say desperate and inexperienced men is they really do just want to date and fuck...it has yet to become deeper.

Yeah, I think fundamentally you have to imagine most women walk around being indirect and not saying what they think directly...like all day long. And it's exhausting and it's caused by not trusting nor respecting the people around us in very different ways.

Men by contrast have a tendency (at least that I perceive) of walking around all day saying exactly what they think directly. So …

I think the lingering small asks thing is just relationship stuff, honestly. You're describing what is essentially a bid for attention - take care of me being the particular brand.

I kinda think this is an improvement. I mean divorce is down drastically among Millenials, we're taking longer to find our person, but it's successful when we do. That's not a bad thing.

As someone that dated guys I wasn't attracted to, it wasn't for comfort nor stability: it was curiosity, and then hope that attraction would develop.

I'm sorry, but I've seen way too much of women (myself included) care taking men in ways that lead to the demise of their dreams, joy, career, and leaves them closer to the walking dead than if they spattered themselves in dirt and fake blood. Women sacrifice themselves all the time for the men in their lives. And love men who are not ambitious and capable regularly. This is an unhealthy dynamic no matter how you slice it and speaking of, plenty of men love their women as more than puppies to be…

All the women I have ever known always knew they wanted marriage and kids someday with the right man. Some weren't ready for that to start given educational demands or career ambitions or such. But they always knew someday, if you catch my drift. I don't think there's a lot of women who are like waking up at 30 suddenly going "wait, I've suddenly decided I do want kids and a husband". I'm sure it happens, don't get me wrong. But I think it's far more likely that's the age everyone feels stable a…

There's a difference between discerning for flaws and hunting for them so you can dismiss having to consider if something is true or not.

I think so, a big part of it is they talk about class and beauty, not being hot or sexy so much.

The standards don't change...most men just look better in person and women are more attracted to a man in motion than a lifeless photograph.

Thank you!! I think a lot of us gals here would marry each other. I'm not gonna lie, I'd marry a lot of the women here platonically. That one professor martial artist nerd lady scientist is pretty cool here. This is why I can never take this question seriously. It's more interesting to ask people why someone wouldn't want to marry them. Just to see the self awareness.

You are drowned in what men like, expect, and want from a pretty young age at least where I am from. And I can't say it was ever difficult to figure out even if I wasn't getting told it constantly and shown it constantly. Such is the fate of the second sex.

Most know. And if they do, why can't we prosecute and fine them too for participating in the paternity fraud? Whenever you fuck, you know it can end in kids. It's not yesteryear. You can look people up on social media and know if they're taken in the majority of cases.

Clearly, I am talking about the bio dad. If you had an ounce of good faith you would know that.

That ain't the dad chief. That's the whole thing, right? It's not the same thing because mom is getting sent away while the dad the kid normally would end up with isn't the father and is being removed.

I said fines were fine. I don't see how prison makes sense or fits the crime in the first place and in the second, there's kids who need guardians. I don't think most women know they're committing paternity fraud as such. I imagine most cheat and then just kind of cross their fingers about it. Which is absolutely wrong, but not some big evil thing deserving of jail time. Again, fine it, make her pay the wrong man back, but making a child suffer like this is bad and not necessary.

I've dated the most shy awkward men, they had simply relegated their aggression to the realm of words and ideas. And they'd say shit that would make you wish they'd just slapped you so that walking away would be easier. All men have a drive towards aggression and dominance. Some of them learn to control and wield it appropriately, I would not count on the shy awkward guy to be that.

The definition of hypergamy is dating across and up social hierarchies (often economic being primary). Men here focus almost exclusively on the up part. They are angry there is no down part. If they used the entire definition, I would largely agree this happens, but there are exceptions when a man is exceptional. Most of these men are putting the wrong effort in, they aren't putting zero effort in. They're not working smarter and eventually they won't work harder either.

I think this applies to many of them, but not the majority. I think the majority want zero emotional entanglements at all and to always be in a position of cool detachment and dominance. I think this is because almost everything they say here is a trauma response.

Usually they get rejected and then go on a mini non violent (if you're lucky) warpath trying to destroy your social life and paint you out as a villain for not returning their love. Some get arrested for stalking, breaking, and entering or attempted assault. The ones that do the latter usually get restraining orders and therapy. The ones that do the former generally eventually move on and do it all over again or if they're lucky grow to realize women will not make them whole and hopefully find s…

I understand people think this and in some cases for good reason. My impression is that the sex goes because all the other pillars are in jeopardy, not the other way around. That's in part why if sex is the only thing dissipating and everything else is truly fine, which it absolutely can be, the marriage will persist. The marriage fails to persist when other elements go and then sex, which was the last bastion goes.

That wasn't even close to my twenties. Not. Even. Close. And all I encountered was dudes who just wanted sex and worse felt the need to lie to get it. I've fucked one man willingly.

It's not narcissisms to enjoy bouncing off others and giving and getting attention. And no, he's an adult, when he doesn't get his way, he just seeks new spheres or ways to get what he'd like to get and give. You guys need to stop confusing rewards and consequences in this way. Rewards and consequences are considered and meditated. We all move towards what feels good and avoid what feels bad. That doesn't mean there is a rewarder and a consequence giver unless they are being thoughtful, which mo…

Behavioral modification is consistent and involves replacing behaviors you don't want with behaviors you do want through understanding what motivates the behavior and then finding a replacement that fulfills the motivation without being destructive. Women are not doing this to men for several reasons: We are not acting as a group. We don't hold meetings to discuss men's behavior, their motivations, and how we can best alter it so we get what we want. We are not seeking to replace any behaviors. …

I'm a teacher, I understand behavioral modification is real. Your problem is that women choose men and men choose women. It's mutual. And clearly, men who refuse to act in ways women (and I do mean individual women) choose are not responding to what you call the incentive structure...or are going after the wrong women.

I think it's a mistake a lot of people make with attachment theory to think it's immediately playing a role.

I think everyone is born lonely, they just don't have the words for it for a very long time. And then people figure out how to cope with it and hopefully, eventually, make peace with it.

Yes, you still saw this as something that you could do something to change. I'm glad you felt that and that it worked out for you. Sincerely. But this ain't the mindset most people who know they could find someone mediocre.

It's not when it's based on either a shared value (abstinence), is sensible (you're both young and between the ages of say 14-22), or is based on some kind of sexual trauma. Every guy I've dated except for my husband had to be taught how to be in a relationship at all. My husband (the experienced one), had to be taught how to be in one with me and not bring his bad habits from the others to ours. And to be fair, I had to stop some of my own bad habits to be with him. It's not the same as being a…

You can't think this seriously applies to sex. Watch: "Maybe we should have a foursome where two dudes fuck you and I watch" "No, that isn't something I want to do." "We could just give it a try". Or more on the subject: just add in the phrase - but you did it with your ex girlfriend. Don't you love me as much? The no was a full sentence. If you can't understand and appreciate that after 15 years of marriage and children, you are deeply selfish or stupid. Either way, bye bye.

I think mature adults are not eager for romantic connections because they recognize this is something which takes time to cultivate, represents a huge paradigm shift for life, and that this process is hard and requires a lot of compromises. They want a romantic connection with the right person at the right time in the right way. And, they recognize finding this is unlikely and that the most likely outcome is either wasting their time or heartache. They are not like a golden retriever puppy about…

I swear women are taught to people please see hard that they can't hear the part where a man is whining you won't make yourself sexually uncomfortable, distressed, and agonized so they can get what they want.

I don't think it's different between the genders, honestly. Red flags are red flags. At most the vocab varies. I think better advice for men is something like: Boobs and pussy aren't special, not even the ones you can touch. Not even repeatedly. It is not manly to endure the insane storms of a woman just because she's hot. It's foolish, short-sighted, and selling your peace of mind and dignity for cheaper than the devil would give you.

Feminism as a conceit just allows women to behave as aggressively disagreeable and selfish as an average man.

Dating is a meritocracy, it might be the only one left, honestly. And most people can succeed within some definition of success. I think morality is a pretty broad concept and the people who think like that heavily prioritize comfort, fitting in, and enjoyable interactions as a moral good.

It has never been nice to me to be wanted by a man I did not want in return. If anything, it made me feel more lonely, more isolated, and more like I would not find love. I'm glad if you find a silver lining in it, but I'd rather 7 years between options. It would be safer, easier, and would not make me feel like I'm only attractive to men who are gross. It's almost like different people are different. And trying to go by gender is not the best division.

I think it's just a woeful lack of education and women like yourself not being forthright in their disgust to their partner. In all of my relationships the men quit porn after seeing my reaction and hearing me talk about the ages most girls begin etc. It wasn't hot or sexy anymore because I took away that. And not in a prudish I'm just not cool with sex way, but in a "this is human drugging and trafficking of children and you feed it rather than use your imagination" way. If you're not cool with…

If you're both drunk this is what we call double jeopardy which means everyone is stupid, but no one is evil unless there's some evidence of pre meditation or drugging. The caveat to this is that generally speaking men can drink more than women and also, as far as I know, metabolize it better. So if he sobered up and she didn't before the sex happened, he's got no out. There's also likely no convicting him without signs of force. If only one party has been drinking, the one that did not drink is…

It has led to more balanced romantic and social dynamics. The fact men may not have predicted this meant they could no longer exploit women's economic disadvantages in order to succeed sexually doesn't seem to be a bug, which is to say: No, I do not believe men supporting this had anything to do with their peens. I think it was the right thing to do and women were not going to let it go. There is no disagreement here. This is equality. I don't care if it doesn't feel equitable to unchosen men or…

I think a lot of men think this and I don't think they're lying. But I think very organically they will come to resent her not wanting the "natural" or "authentic" him and expecting him to change. Thus the cruelty or the need to lie to yourself. And also, she will be impatient with this process very likely if it's not shaping up quick. It's just a bad thing.

Women have never seen an ugly truth they can't bend if they like the guy enough. Women often want a man who acts like a man, but refuse to pay that off by acknowledging his manliness and feeding his ego. Put more bluntly, they want a peacock that ruffles out his feathers, but they absolutely refuse to go "wow, what great feathers you have" or "wow, it'd be so nice if you showed me those feathers". And this is mostly because they think it would make them somehow lesser or inferior. And it's destr…

We have a broad intention for our lives and journey. The initial step is to vibe and keep vibing until we figure out if this dude fits that or not. The only other approach I've seen is women with a plan on how to make any guy fit that mold with enough lying to themselves or cruelty to the man. I've been both. The correct answer is to vibe and have a final place you'd like to end up and see if that dude fits or not.

Spouses are humans, they're going to make mistakes, have bad days, get lazy, give themselves a break at the wrong time, etc. And they're going to nag.

The terms of monogamy are complete loyalty through good times and bad. That is the vow. Guaranteed sex when you want it mostly is not in the vows. Doesn't appear. Y'all think these things are equally promised, but they aren't. You think it's implied, but it isn't. If you aren't happy with your sex life and feel that is grounds to break the marriage, divorce. Cheating isn't on the table as an allowed answer based on your promises.

Society gets to decide what to value is my point. It's deciding it values exploitation and thus male sexuality is what is upheld.

Let's say story and context were a key factor of female sexuality....you could make porn containing these things.

Wait has this just been you looking in the mirror and screaming the whole time? I'm not going back to Rugrats with you, it's above your level and I'm understanding that now. Wow, you're so smart and amazing, it's a total shock that you haven't succeeded in life yet with so much knowledge. It's probably all the other stupid people's fault, right?

While we're keeping things to ourselves, I'd have kept an inability to identify with child characters to myself as well given that your entire argument rests on the ability to extrapolate information which is not literal. I'm a girl, kettle. There's adults and there's kids in Rugrats, the kids are archetypes much more than they are babies. The show was not for little babies, it was for elementary and middle schoolers.

We are extremely close and love each other very much. There are elements of raising a child so young and for so long that are a blessing.

I like, half agree with your premise, but the part where we diverge is that I think let's assume the majority of men actually do love their wives and find companionship with them. They're probably bad at loving her and probably imperfect people, but I do not assume most of them are lying or using cutesy language in the way you suggest.

Yes. I've since told young women these things and seen them change. I can see the spell breaking if they're caught early enough in the process.

I think men are more willing to compromise and go without it because they believe they are better suited to endure what happens when you're dealing with an insecure or low-confidence person.

In queer male spaces, they're used to generically a more quick ride to pound town and when this is rejected, they're behaving awfully because you don't fit their box of an effeminate dude. This is the consequences of not neatly fitting into how the thing you …

I wouldn't want to be compared to a man and I don't hate men. It's that I'm a girl and I want my flaws to be feminine too. Wanting to be perceived as what you are isn't necessarily caused by hate. And even if it was...is your goal to communicate or not?

This is a problem of the human condition...you're just on a male centric sub so you're getting the men's end of it. Go to a female sub and you're going to see the same thing. It's people under-valuing others while over-valuing themselves while thinking they're the only ones with problems and refusing to allow others to have them. Everyone needs a mirror and everyone hates to look in them.

I think this cuts both ways is the problem. I know so many women who are their own worst enemy on the dating front. They make themselves almost impossible to love by the men they'd actually like a relationship with. This is just the human condition to complain about being your own worst enemy. And, I think we can have compassion for people doing this while also trying to give them helpful critique.

I look at it like this: humans like things which they understand and fit in expectations and binaries they like based on their culture and the wider mainstream culture. Humans generically dislike and fear that which is other. The more otherized you are, the more you are being tolerated to barely tolerated which is what you're referencing as performance. You are not being enjoyed or desired. This is true regardless of the space. Conservative spaces have expectations. Progressive spaces do as well…

Sexual assault and not enjoying sex are different things, and I think you know that. Again, good faith. Most men believe they aren't assaulting anyone (and this is accurate) and they believe women are enjoying that sex because women are faking it convincingly.

Multiple things can be true. It can be true heavy beauty standards are put on women and that she's meeting some or none of them and that those standards are still a burden.

Well think in good faith for a second. They think the sex is mutually gratifying...because women aren't telling them it isn't. They think it's equally safe, because women aren't telling them it isn't until recently and they tend to deal with risk better. They think they're bringing companionship and romance, which a lot are so big ups to that. Ok, so clearly men are capable of a good committed and shared burden relationship.

I agree with your take that it's a good vibe check...the problem is that a lot of the music coming out of female pop artists has both I love him I love him and I want to murder him vibes in it.

We do in other ways, you know, prison, jail, people not wanting to be associated with immoral types, generic shaming, myth, school, cultural norms implanted during childhood.

I answered someone else this, so you basically get the same: Good is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but none of it is really about morality for the most part. It's about being fun, interesting, a solid emotional partner, not boring, tedious, unpleasant, or ill-tempered. Basically, stop being a sex pest and have an actually pleasant interaction. I've never asked any struggling men those questions. Maybe red pillers ask those questions, but I highly doubt your seasoned feminists or almost any …

I think men misunderstand this critique very often when they confuse morality with entertainment. They are boring or tedious or disagreeable or unpleasant. The way it is said, I agree, typically makes them think it is about being a bad person. But, most of them are likely morally ambiguous. Neither notably good nor notably bad. Lacking much of a moral compass.

I largely agree, but I do want to say two things: This applies less and less the older you are. By that stage people have been hurt more so they're more guarded with their true feelings and desires generally. This isn't a sign they don't like you, it's a sign they know where that has gotten them in the past and are trying to make a new choice. Women (generally) are going to be more guarded sooner due to dealing with childhood creepiness and societal messaging about not showing too much interest …

The problem is that people who think like this see being good as something which should be rewarded (I blame school) rather than something which is right in and of itself regardless of reward. So when good behavior doesn't get them everything they wish for, it seems like a systemic and moral wrong rather than what has always been and always will be. Being good is about being good. Not getting a reward.

It's actually, sadly, often the opposite among young men especially...they only respect each other and will not enact so much violence particularly if they perceive the young man correcting them as "leaderly". They'll just take the correction.

Young people are young people in part because they're so limited and yet full of potential for growth. If most of what you spend your time doing is working on how you look and you're 18, you haven't had much time on earth to become other things so at that age almost everyone isn't as multi faceted as they will become.

The seeing beautiful woman is more about style than anything else. The amount of put together women that you find yourself admiring especially after 25+ is great. It's not sexual. Naked women are safer to look at. There's no primal fear response or imposition in a naked woman. I don't often hear the language of sexuality in women's commentary. Envy, sure. Admiration, yeah.

I never had to ask my man, he just had to see my disgusted face, hear me talk about human trafficking, most actors starting as kids, how disrespectful it is, and how it makes men sick fucks and he stopped without me ever saying anything directly. If they don't care about your opinion, don't be with them.

I don't think there's any new ones coming, tbh. I think it's pretty much levelled out at this point with them having all the same expectations as a woman. If anything, I see a swing hopefully back in some areas to make things a little more legally protective for men and hopefully with time better on safety net fronts.

Yeah, if they're in a relationship and they're willing to show and explain it. If you showed her how to, yes, I think so because the job is now about more than just task completion, but also loving your neurotic partner enough to have them do it in the way you like it done.

Not that I'm sure, but isn't women are wonderful bias the belief women can do no wrong and are somehow naturally and inherently better and more trustworthy than men?
