I was watching Exploding Kittens on Netflix. The son was going to therapy inside his GTA V style video game.

It was kinda cool. The therapist ended up being his mom posing as a therapist so she can bond/help her son. He found out, was mad, then he got over it cuz at least she cares.

It got me thinking, do people do support groups and such in the metaverse? It actually sounds like it would be cool/helpful. Especially if you’re not ready or able to go to an in-person one.

You know how when you’re younger you tend to be more liberal then as you age you become more conservative, do you think it’s the same thing with blue pill / red pill?

The main reason people dislike steroids and plastic surgery even if it looks top notch and completely natural is because it messes with their ability to screen for good genetics. All the talk about "not being able to handle such level of insecurity" is just their way of making it politically correct.

How we rocking with (semi) muscular black (kinda) pretty boys with braids?

Asking for a friend, of course

Is Hinge just showing me fat people because they think I'm ugly or are 95% of people obese nowadays?

Holy shit this guy is 29 years old. Don't do steroids, he looks 40+

Gillionaire25 · 2024-09-10T08:21:26+00:00

I just got ID'd at the store and I'm 15 years past the age limit. The wall is a lie. 😎

On a scale of 1-10, how bad is it to tell a single mom on a dating app that you can see how she got those children (meant as a compliment)

Spread-Em-Plz · 2024-09-09T21:53:32+00:00

My daily dose of brainrot, is my brain saying that the fact that I’m still single, is because my muscles are too small

Forget face, forget personality, forget charisma, forget everything else. It’s only because muscles too small and lifts not heavy enough

(This is half a joke, half not a joke. Save me)

Q4W Why are most women offended by being judged on their N-count now, when they have been judging men based on their height for years? Is this not hypocritical?

Judging women on their "N-count" (number of sexual partners) and men on their height are similar in the following ways:

1)Superficial Judgments

Both judgments are based on physical or arbitrary traits, which are often unrelated to a person’s true character, abilities, or compatibility as a partner.

For women, the number of past sexual partners is a metric often used to assess their value or morality.
For men, height is often viewed as an indicator of attractiveness, masculinity, or status.

2)Uncontrollable Traits or Past

In many cases, neither sexual history nor height is something a person can easily change:

A person's sexual history is part of their past and may not accurately reflect their values or current lifestyle.
A man's height is determined by genetics and is outside of his control, yet is often unfairly used as a basis for judgment.

3)Cultural Standards and Social Expectations

Both judgments are heavily influenced by societal norms and stereotypes:

Women's sexual history is often scrutinized more than men's, reflecting a cultural double standard around sexuality.
Men’s height is linked to traditional ideas of strength, dominance, and attractiveness, which may pressure them to meet unrealistic standards.

4)Reduction of Self-Worth

In both cases, these judgments reduce a person’s worth to a single trait:

Women are reduced to their sexual past, as if it defines their overall value in relationships.
Men are reduced to their physical stature, as if height is a primary determinant of their desirability or success.

5)Impact on Dating and Relationships

Both judgments can significantly affect how men and women are perceived in the dating world:

Women may feel pressure to conceal or downplay their sexual past to avoid judgment.
Men may feel insecure or face rejection based on something as immutable as their height.

In both scenarios, these judgments overlook deeper, more meaningful aspects of an individual’s personality, values, and capabilities. They are superficial standards that fail to recognize a person’s full humanity. Men are often labeled insecure for being offended by the value women place on height, yet they are also called insecure if they place value on a woman's body count. Why are so many women offended by the N-count question when they have been applying similar standards for years? As feminist women, have you called out your friends/other women for having height preferences or for judging/making fun of a man's height? If not, are you not being hypocritical for being offended when a man judges you based on your N-count?

"just get plastic surgery" is sort of a dumb thing to suggest. like you can just go to the grocery store for a nose job. no you have to spend a lot of time researching specific surgeries, maybe get an evaluation from a professional about what surgeries to even get (not everyone knows what the problem is), look up a reputable surgeon, see if they'll even agree to operate on you, save thousands and thousands of dollars, then take time off work to get the surgery, potential travel costs, plus recovery time. like it's not something you can just do

GH0STRIDER579 · 2024-09-09T16:45:45+00:00

Q2W: Does a man need to be a stable single provider to get his "looks match" in a relationship?

What’s the most unconventionally attractive thing to the masses that you personally find appealing?

I go to the gym to workout and tell flat chested women who piss me off, "I have bigger tits than you and I'm a man". You gotta humble women sometimes bro. It keeps em in check.

I'm 5 foot 11 but on crack so I have abs, which makes me hotter than any of you

Most people are ugly for reasons they can control but simply refuse to such as:

obesity
obesity
obesity
obesity
obesity
zero skin care
poor hygiene
no fashion sense

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2024-09-08T00:49:50+00:00

Ladies, all other things being equal and to your liking, would you rather have: 1. A man who's 5'7" (1.70 m) tall and 7.5" (19.05 cm) long; or 2. man who's 6'2" (1.88 m) tall and 4.5" (11.43 cm) long?

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2024-09-07T23:58:26+00:00

Are women with fathers with one or more aesthetic defects (e.g., bald, short, etc.) more willing to be with a man who has the same defect(s)?

I've tried searching for studies on the matter and found nothing. However, my father-in-law is shorter and balder than I am, so...

EDIT: More broadly, has anything been done to confirm or deny the existence of Freud's Oedipus and Electra complexes (i.e., the idea that at least straight people seek out partners who remind them of their opposite sex parent)?

Cunnin_Linguists · 2024-09-07T23:14:50+00:00

You're all ugly and I'm hot. How's that make you feel?

Junius-Julius · 2024-09-07T21:35:29+00:00

My body count is a solid ze... Ups, wrong weekly discussion 😟

I'm a solid 7.372702 in the looks rating 😎

EqualSea2001 · 2024-09-07T21:34:27+00:00

Here to remind everyone single person here, being more muscular will ALWAYS make you more attractive. Most people find it attractive and so do most women. Most people think their tastes are different and special but no, they are very much the same. That's like telling a girl getting a bigger butt from working out won't make her more attractive to men, no, stop the cope. Just as how not being fat makes you more attractive. Beliving becoming muscular won't make a man more attractive is like saying being fat isn't an unattractive trait.

Dua Lipa is a pretty average looking woman. Weird nose and mouth area. I’d give her a 5.5.

MikeArrow · 2024-09-07T18:09:12+00:00

These threads are always so depressing. The whole "average isn't enough anymore" "umm, ackshually, you're below average. Normal people are doing just fine, loser" just keeps going around and around in circles.

Redpill-mind · 2024-09-07T17:59:57+00:00

Noserings are a absolute turn-on for me

Reasonable_Style8214 · 2024-09-07T17:45:31+00:00

Daily reminder that women do not find dad bod visually appealing. They want that thin waist and broad shoulders a.k.a V-taper and a big hog that's not partially hidden behind a layer of pubic fat.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23569234/

There were highly significant positive linear effects of height, penis size, and shoulder-to-hip ratio on male attractiveness (Table 1). Linear selection was very strong on the shoulder-to-hip ratio, with weaker selection on height and penis size (Table 1).

saraimarsena · 2024-09-07T17:25:04+00:00

anything within 5’9 - 6’3 and 6-7.5 in looks is optimal and perfect to me.

id prefer someone who’s more handsome/more my type facially and 5’9 over someone who’s less handsome or not my type and 6’3

Adject_Ive · 2024-09-07T16:41:13+00:00

Can we just accept it is over for the average guy now? I'm GenZ, and it seems like no girl wants nothing do with you unless you are above average in most physical traits.

OkSeaweed3237 · 2024-09-07T16:40:31+00:00

There is no amount of “eduction” that will stop young men from gravitating towards incel spaces and being more aligned with the right/extreme right wing. If most young men are having an incredibly difficult time establish romantic relationships with young men due to their physical appearance, they will only seek revenge or some way to even the playing field. It’s evolutionary and no amount of reasoning or eduction or interaction will stop it in any meaningful sense.

GridReXX · 2024-09-07T16:14:30+00:00

Evergreen Truth:

We all have immutable traits. Raw goods that determine the extent of our looks or how sultry/deep our voice can be.

These traits have a ceiling. Perhaps your ceiling will never be as high as “Stacey’s” or “Chad’s” ceiling.

But you have the choice to optimize your looks to best of your ability. If you’re a raw 6 you can choose to optimize how you present to a 7 or 8 and not devolve to your worse self of 4 or 5.

You have the choice to not act like a loser or dweeb. You can be intentional about building social acuity. And if you can’t, perhaps your “black pill” as an average looking dude isn’t your “looks” but your cognition? Hm.

You have an internal locus of control to work within even if there are external factors out of your control.
