If you’re looking for things “to say”, you’re using the conversation for your own ends and by definition aren’t bringing value to it. You being value to a conversation by listening until you have something to contribute.

Oh so if you lie about past events, or thoughts, or memories, or intentions, it’s not “misrepresenting any material fact”? Maybe your first step on the road to honesty is admitting to yourself that you are a liar who covers his lies with a thin veneer of bullshit philosophy.

She chose to put that number on the group chat; sounds like she implicitly trusts the members of that chat with the number. As for what to text her, I don’t see any reason not to go straight to the date. But I’m a middle-aged man, and people my age get right to the point as a rule. Youth culture is a bit different.

You should do both. You don’t have to approach as often but if you stop doing it then the rejection fear can re-form. Also practice makes perfect. A master has failed more times than a novice has tried. But you should definitely focus daily on self improvement.

My take on this is you’re naturally avoiding the very stupid move of starting an office romance as your first romance ever. It would be very stupid to begin your love life with this girl, who is a coworker at the first job where I actually feel like I’m actually making progress in my life for once at a place I enjoy being at a lot. That is an incredibly valuable thing to find, and maybe you shouldn’t risk it for this girl. I’d say your mouth apparently understands this better than your brain, an…

You have to keep trying. Nothing worth doing is easy. The depression comes from the false belief that you’re getting nowhere. As long as you keep moving you’ll get somewhere. But you have to keep trying. Also, redefine success to the continued effort and self improvement. That’s the win or loss here: whether you keep trying and improving or give up.

At some point he dated another girl and talked to me about her so i thought i was friendzoned forever Men are more attractive when they have more women in their life, not less. When a man tells you about women he’s dating, if he’s not an idiot, he’s doing it to appear more attractive to you.

He’s asking why her level of attraction to him changed. It didn’t. What she reported was “I’m not ready for this”. Her decision about whether she should be pursuing a relationship changed, not her level of attraction for him. Maybe she got a C on a paper and realized she needs to focus. Maybe she did some mushrooms and realized she’s got too much to figure out before she dates. Whatever it is, she decided she’s not ready.

The problem is I can’t tell what you’re trying to say. I’m autistic so my brain is bad at figuring out statements that don’t parse as I expect. What I gather is you’re saying love is a “gradual” thing by definition. Gradual is the opposite of abrupt. An example of gradual is the way a mountain erodes over millions of years. An example of abrupt is the way a volcano suddenly changes shape. You’re saying that love is gradual, by definition. Correct?

So on that basis, everyone can just ignore the stories of other people. In fact there’s literally zero reason to tell stories. Is that what I’m getting from you?

The only time I ever experienced love at first sight, I didn’t believe in it before. But then I made eye contact with this woman was immediately obsessed with her.

We go out a few days later, and then I’m hit with the “I don’t think I’m really feeling this. Good luck out there.” Even though I’m literally the same exact dude I was a few days prior.

I know that I, individually, have gotten attracted to older and older women as time goes on. It’s just a maturity thing. My sexual drives are cooling off and I’m more interested in the average feeling of all the time we spend out of bed than I am in maximizing the pleasure while in bed.

I might not be able to approach What happens when you move your foot forward? If that still works, you are capable of approach. Literally “one foot in front of the other”. That’s a saying soldiers use to describe how to walk forward in a state of fear. And it literally works. Don’t focus on approaching someone; focus on move one foot in front of the other.

You're going to have a hard time finding a guy who has depth and is also interested in an emotions-only relationship. Sex is natural and the people who don't want sex are a much smaller pool than the people who need sex for it to be considered a relationship.

I was already paying so much attention to women though. I can tell where their eyes are going to, and they went to my biceps then which was unprecedented. Also I could see it like a pull they had to resist, like I resist looking at boobs to be polite. I didn’t even realize women felt that kind of pull until I put some muscle on.

I disagree. When I started lifting for the first time, I started getting stared at for the first time. Women couldn’t take their eyes off my biceps. I had never experienced anything like that. I got laid plenty as a skinny dude, but I had to show off my mind to do so. When I got swole, I didn’t have to say a thing.

Finding yourself good enough is the trap. Consciousness is painful, and exerting oneself toward a goal takes the pain away. Nothing is more conducive to suffering than consciousness without a goal. So self improvement is not a trap. It is the way out of the trap.

Awkwardness is shared, period. There’s no such thing as one person being awkward. Awkward is a property of the social climate in a group at a moment. So first of all understand that being sucked into the awkwardness is the default experience. The way you stop is you stop trying to stop. You just feel the awkwardness (no you don’t mention it; that’s just trying to escape). You sit there and you feel the awkwardness and it goes away.

How about tension? I’ve known some women who are beautiful except they always seem super tense and it turns me off. I think the anxiety could be it. I’ve got anxiety myself and I’ve got a prescription for propranolol (adrenaline antagonist), plus I use over-the-counter supplements like magnesium, L-theanine, and GABA to manage it. Inflammation makes a big difference in my anxiety too, so I pay attention to which foods give me brain fog and negative life outlook.

Honestly given the title I was gonna come here and say “lose weight” because 99% of the time a woman doesn’t know why men aren’t attracted to her it’s because they can’t see a female form in their body. But you’ve got that checked. With regard to your question of what men want, I think a better question might be what to 21 year old boys want, and that is generally to establish themselves as sexually desirable. They want to prove to themselves they can land a “hot” chick. But you’re hot. And it’s…

I’m curious what the source of the difference is? Do you feel a barrier toward your friends, where you want to keep them as just friends? If so maybe the possibility of further steps with the stranger opened the question of how to proceed to next stage. As for that I can’t answer your question. My only thought is to either kiss her or break off the dance claiming you want to rest, offer to buy her a drink, then get to talking somewhere.

Your best bet is to figure out whether you are ashamed of your apartment. Is it a solid indicator of your unsuitability as her mate, or is it a random indicator? Basically, if you believe the apartment is just happenstance and not actually correlated with you being wrong for her, then there’s no issue. It’s more about your self perception than her perception of you. Either way, to make the best impression the inside of your apartment should be clean, organized, well stocked within your budget (m…

Women are more emotional than men False. This is why there are so many male poets. Men have a culture of covering emotions because emotional vulnerability can be manipulated in war, and men have historically been the ones present at wars. Men cover up their emotions; they do not have less emotion. As for how to express emotion, my recommendation is to take some mushrooms and get in touch with your real feelings, rather than trying to memorize a set of facial muscle contractions to simulate those…

Is she also inexperienced in relationships? If so, this new language is juts her being a little awkward. She's excited to be doing this new thing. If she's experienced in relationships however, I would take this as a red flag.

For men, they have to develop to have high sex drives to reproduce. Because they can survive on their own, there has to be a sexual incentive for them to seek out women. Nah, you’ve got it wrong. The reason men have a high sex drive is it’s possible for a man to have 100 babies in a year. There’s no upper limit on how many babies a man can have, but there is on how many babies a woman can have. A woman has to be selective to maximize her reproductive value. If she mates with a low value man, tha…

Her last comment was sarcastic. Liking her because she belongs to a category is the exact opposite of her being special. She had already decided to end contact, before your last message.

For everything in existence there’s too little, too much, and just right. There are failure points on both ends of that spectrum.

You realize most of male sexual satisfaction comes from perception of the woman’s experience right? edit: oh you’re a 14 year old virgin.

Multiple women can successfully share a single man sexually. This means that a man who has plenty of women is still sexually attractive, because it takes all of 30 seconds of his time to make use of his genetic material.

My suggestion has that goal too, without forcing anyone to do anything. Change it from first past the post to a system like runoff voting, so that people can vote for third parties without endangering their end of the political spectrum. Like a person could say their vote is a priority list in this order: "Green, Democrat, Republican". Then if the Green party isn't going to win that vote becomes Democrat. It changes the feedback mechanisms so they're not always eliminating the chance of third pa…

The reason why it's not realistic to support 3rd parties is because of the rules we use for voting. If we did run-off voting for example then third parties would be able to gain power without weakening the party most similar to them. Under our current system, a vote for a third party essentially divides that end of the political spectrum. For example a vote for Green takes a vote away from Democrat. So the Green Party's existence is more a threat to the Democrats than the Republicans, specifical…

What I think exists in feminism isn't so much a desire to oppress men, as a desire to tear men from a position of power. You can totally do very hateful things without thinking of it as hate, so long as you see yourself as fighting a more powerful enemy. I would say the dominant emotions aren't hate so much as anger and even exhilaration that comes from toppling an enemy. Think Luke Skywalker's emotions when he brought down that AT-AT.

If the lower earning spouse has been spending all these years contributing value to the household, then they have a marketable skill and there's no reason why they can't continue doing domestic stuff for pay.

I agree. "Male genital mutilation" is a more general term than circumcision, and could refer to things like slicing a dick open at a coming-of-age ceremony or whatever. So regardless of connotation, "MGM" would refer to a different thing than "circumcision" - the former being a category that includes the latter as well as other things. However, circumcision is "male genital mutilation" in the same sense that a car is a vehicle, which is a machine, etc.

Here's one of my most powerful reasons for enjoying male-only spaces: men get more competitive when women are around. It's so much easier to bond with other guys when there are no women. How many times has this happened to you? You meet this cool guy and you and he have the same sense of humor and you're really happy you met this awesome dude. Then some girl walks in the room and it's someone he's attracted to. She doest something flirty toward you and suddenly you're a threat to him. It just se…

Personally, I'm in favor of having male-only and female-only spaces. Pretty much because I myself want to have a place where I can go where I know I can just be with men. And so I can't fault anyone else on wanting that either. There's a big difference between a society that forces sexes to segregate, and a society where about 0.1% of the land area is single-sex space which can easily be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to go there.

Equal application of any shitty rule is better than unequal application of any other set of rules. When rules are applied equally, everyone is incentivized to make the best rules. Apply the rules unequally, and that incentive structure dissolves, enabling much worse outcomes.

I think that's incorrect. In the 80s I was in an elementary school and off the top of my head I can think of three male teachers I had, often all of them working the same day.

This is why we need an MR legal fund. I'd gladly contribute $10/month to an ongoing fund that's administered by voting here on reddit. If we get a thousand of us contributing $10, that's $10k/month that the fund is growing. Then we could maybe once or twice a year pay it out to the legal efforts of this or that male victim.

George Orwell warned us about this type of thing. Doublespeak, he called it. Basically he was saying that when a person says A but does B, we'll believe they're doing A because of what they said. Many humans have a deep psychological need to have their beliefs confirmed by others. Actually, let me just say all humans have that need. That's why it's so easy to get tricked by someone who lies, because if you call them out on the lie by saying "hey you said A but actually did B", you only feel just…

Regarding #1 above, I think the important part for the definition of cult isn't the "make a new social reality", but rather the "do so by separating people socially and geographically". To demonstrate feminism's adherence to element #1 above, you'd have to show that feminism isolates people socially and/or geographically. A cult interferes with people's communication with those outside the group, and by doing so is able to create a new social reality.

The endless variety that internet porn provides isn't natural. Crack deals with dopamine, which is normal and natural. But it interacts with that system in a way that the brain can't handle. Same with internet porn. Being able to see endless novelty - to jump from mate to mate to mate 500 times in 10 minutes - is something that kings couldn't even do a hundred years ago. The human brain isn't prepared for it, and suffers as a result. Sexuality is natural, but internet porn is not.

Next time you're at Target or any department store, stop a second and do a quick survey of how much of that store is women's products. What's interesting is they don't have to label anything as "women's", because by default everything is. There's "sweaters" and "sportwear" and "underwear" and these are all women's. Then there's "men's (everything a man could put on his body from sunglasses to hats to jeans to underwear to suspenders)".

I'm sure the great world powers don't spend so much money on propaganda because it only works on crazy people.

Funny thing is it's no coincidence (and certainly not a worship of maleness) that instruments of power "resemble" penises. Generally, the ability to reach from point A to point B is power.

Put a kid under a shitty authority when he's 14, when he's instinctually looking for something to fight against, when he's developing independence of mind, when he's got the necessary hormones to prod…

To be honest, I'd say kids should be learning that at around 7 or 8, not kindergarten age.

Any despairing shit like "people in power over you will fuck you" should come a little bit later, maybe after he's seen a cat die or something.
