Women have no real sense of humor. They rely on our masculine ability to have perspective and approach things with some levity and humility, which results in humorous takes on life. Women actually can’t do that.
Women want everything. If they could and did find ‘everything’ in a single man/relationship, they’d take it. But that is as rare as a unicorn, hence AF/BB, branch swinging, etc.
The better place to raise kids would be a very strong consideration for me. As well as whichever family might be able to offer the best support/experience for y’all.
A useful insight. My view is that we are not gods, but are blessed with their qualities in part. And thus we do not have control over the storms as a god would, but rather can exert substantial influence as a man can. Though by all means, do aim toward the gods - it’s helpful. Just don’t expect to get there, lest you end up like Icarus.
The feminine can and will devour the masculine when it serves the feminine imperative. The feminine is the ocean, the masculine is the boat. Learn to sail, boys and men. Now.
This comment at negative votes shows the pitiful state of this sub’s audience. Sad. And the fact that OP was upset by her ignoring you, AND told her shows you do not have abundance. I suggest you do your thing and learn to give zero fucks about the attentions of a woman - most especially one you’ve only been seeing for 4 months.
And so just for reminder - this is what good/quality/high value men do naturally - because they are busy being awesome and give zero fucks about any woman’s trifling nonsense. Posts like this are largely of the ‘fake it til you make it’ variety.
I mean yeah OP is clearly a philosopher or something like it. Nothing wrong with that. But the world’s already got too many men talking about shit and not enough doing shit, if you ask me. Be what’s needed, not what’s easy for you.
Because it’s the only way that leads to having a mate/protector/provider. Since women (the feminine to be more precise) do not pursue, no attention = no mate.
Okay so if you’re not sorry don’t apologize. You can still communicate your thoughts and challenge him on this. That’s what bros do sometimes. But if he isn’t meeting the expectations you have for friends, maybe the friendship will have to change or end.
Having a mission/purpose helps tremendously with this. Slipping back into unhelpful habits/feelings/thoughts? Back to the mission for you. It’s also where attention grown by meditation can be very helpful - to more reliably notice when that happens.
I think nofap is primarily about the tremendous psychological benefits of not jerking off to porn, or not jerking off in general. It’s very empowering, as opposed to being an addictive crutch.
