My face card is so good that all of my exes and my gf wish me taller.

“You are so short!” “Why aren’t you 6 ft?” “I couldn’t use my high heels!”

Who cares man? As long they are spreading their legs. I’m fine being 5’5 lmaooo

At this point part of the reason I want a gf is to save some money on rent. I'm jealous of guys who split their rent with their gf, rather than having to deal with messy roommates. It seems like there's always at least one problematic roommate who is messy. And I could maybe share some food w/ her, most recipes make portions for 2-3 people and I always have leftovers which aren't as good.

Inb4 "just talk to your roommate." That only works for small issues. If someone is systematically loud, messy, dumb, irresponsible, and generally annoying, one convo isn't gonna fix them.

But ik it comes with its own problems, you don't want to break up in the middle of a lease and then have that mess on your hands.

Men who have issues with paternity tests, shouldn't be married either way? Like u married, if that child is from u or not is secondary. If she had a ons whatever and got pregnant then that's ok, u shouldn't be mad.

Don't destroy ur marriage over something like this. At the end of the day u decided to get married and if u picked one in the wall territory then that's on u

Q4W: You and your boyfriend are taking your first plane trip together and you’re excited to travel with him. You reserve aisle seats across from each other because all the seats right next to each other are sold out. But when you board the plane it turns out there’s a woman with an infant in the middle seat next to your boyfriend. He sits down without offering to switch with her so she can get to bathroom more easily with her baby. What do you do?

Hot_Lack_4868 · 2024-12-30T06:50:26+00:00

Just out of curiousity is there any data available what percentage of men and women revenge cheat on their partners? I'd imagine this to be on women side more bcz it's easier for them to find a guy (their life long male friends and all) and how many men do it with women who are not escorts?

I wouldn’t mind being one of Elon Musk’s baby mamas as long as:

A) he financially provides for me and our kids for life and with an appropriate amount of riches

B) I don’t need to have sex with him aside from making babies

C)our kids become co owners of his companies and learn to be rich entrepreneurs

D) I get full custody of the kids (he can visit and hang out with them as much as he wants) so that I can raise them to be based. With elons money I would homeschool them and make them learn English, Spanish , Afrikaans (he’s South African), and mandarin.

E) once the kids are of age, I would romantically date other people. But I would stay single while the kids are growing up so that they don’t have to deal with the stress of a stepfather.

My boyfriend and I played this game called keep talking and nobody explodes.

One of you has to diffuse a complicated bomb on a video game and the other has the directions on diffusing but can’t actually see the bomb so you’re trying to walk them through it

Really showed so much of our communication styles and it totally was eye opening. We tried both him giving the directions and me giving the directions and it was much better with me giving the directions and him doing the diffusing which I think is pretty stereotypical gender wise.

But anyways it was super funny and eye opening

I wasn’t made for modern dating. I should have been born at least a hundred years ago where I could just marry a gainfully employed acquaintance from a respectable family after a handful of conversations.

jtinian · 2024-12-30T03:20:41+00:00

There are some men with basic social skills, some emotional intelligence, and free time. They go outside and talk to women, understand their local dating culture, and make an effort to get to know these people. Of course, some of them will get rejected but they don't have a mental breakdown and start questioning their worth as a human. They are somewhat resilient, keep trying, and eventually find someone they can have a long-term relationship with. They are usually not spending their time on reddit talking about TRP and SMV, etc.

Then there are those men who get rejected once or twice and let that instance define them. Instead of embodying the classical, positive masculine trait of resilience, they give into their weak mental and look to shift the blame to other people or society. Instead of working out / dressing better to improve their appearance or learning how to flirt / be more emotionally intelligent / interesting as a person, they'd rather complain and constructive narratives to make them feel better about themselves. Which is kind of understandable, not everyone has the mental fortitude to accept their faults and change them. They let other people do the thinking for them while they're in a vulnerable state and fall down these conspiratorial, misogynistic rabbitholes on the internet. They've lost the motivation to go back outside.

Then there are the extremely lazy, undesirable, and borderline anti-social men who spend most of their time online. They don't usually have irl friends or social groups to help with their crushing loneliness, nor do they have the social ability to make new friends and connections. Their only experience with romance or relationships are things they see on TV, social media, or their parents. They've got almost no real social experience as an adult and can only do the bare minimum to get by in society. These aren't men who own businesses, they aren't the "rock" in their family, they're not 'socially important'. Sometimes it is by their own design or sometimes it because they just can't be social. Instead of risking a social interaction that could lead to the romantic/sexual desire that they crave so much, the fear of being rejected is so incredibly strong that it may just break them mentally for good.

It's not a coincidence that the proliferation of the internet coincides with this male loneliness epidemic; instead of going outside and getting your entertainment through socializing in person, it just easier for these men to play videogames and watch TV. Instead of going out to meet and talk to women, understanding body language, social cues, etc, they take the easy route and spend less than 5 minutes making a shitty dating profile.

These men are under the delusion that, like their videogames and TV, relationships and sex should be on demand and accessible to them with the click of a button. And so when their shitty dating profile that they made on freemium app doesn't reach the women of their standards, when it doesn't immediately or efficiently facilitate a conversation with a women of their choice, they do the thing where they need an explanation. In their vulnerable state of "why am i getting rejected" they turn to TRP to explain everything.

Just like there are insufferable women who blame all of their inadequacies on their 3 self-diagnosed mental illnesses, or chalk it up to astrology, TRP men are doing the same thing. It's embarrassing. These TRP content creators don't even care about advancing you as a man. They tell you that you're undesirable because you're broke, and then paywall the real advice or "business" courses. They charge you for super chats and circle jerk the same 5 core ideas every stream or podcast. They constantly bring on OF models to represent all women and trap them silly gotcha arguments and old outdated, misleading statistics. TRP men watch this and think "yes we dunked on them" but nothing about that has gotten you closer to fulfilling the relationship that you want. And you're completely blind to the fact they specifically choose OF models because these TRP creators KNOW their audience is bunch of lonely, sex starved men! They are part of the marketing arm of the behavior they claim they don't condone!

Instead of being a man and pushing through their personal lack-of-a-relationship adversity, they would rather fall in line. Repeat the same talking points and let other men do the thinking for them, give their leaders their undivided attention and money, awaiting their next marching orders every week.

You would think that with the rise of feminism and sex positivity, we'd see less of the men who can't get laid, but no, there will always a significant minority of you undesired, unfuckable social outcasts that will cry about unfairness, or regularly malign women because you're so angry you couldn't get laid even if you tried your absolute best.

HOLYREGIME · 2024-12-30T03:11:52+00:00

Welcome to the femosphere, the latest dark, toxic corner of the internet… for women

I saw the r/technology sub post this.

I used to be a feminist before I saw the effects of third wave feminism,” Batra said. “This has forced women into masculine roles where they are pursuing men.”

Batra added: “This is not natural, and it seems that there are more and more people not starting a family.”

I want equality here, here and here, but not there. Only if it benefits me feminism. We’ll likely see the brakes placed on feminism because women no longer benefit like they did before.

The so-called trad life is genuinely seductive to women who rightly hate the endless grind,” she said. “That’s something that liberal feminism needs to recognise it hasn’t provided a solution to.”

Liberal feminism needs to introduce a soft life for the girlies. They want to make their own money, not need a man, but work very little, if at all. How can we get this started?

Accusations of toxic language and hate speech have led to some female groups, including femcel groups, being banned from Reddit.

Apparently not enough. I think this will only continue as the prospects for quality men dwindles due to ever increasing “standards”. The desire for hypergamy in a competitive environment. Women can cope with friendships and being social but the dissatisfaction brews all the same.

In this case, certain ideas from left feminism seem to be getting mixed up with reactionary conservative ideas.

Equality when it comes to economics and education, but the same women are socially conservative. For example: I want to make as much as a man, but I want a man to pay for the dates. I’ve been saying it for years, the MSM is just catching up.

At least the main stream is starting to take notice. This was said years ago and often denied. MSM and Reddit being aware is at least a step in the right direction.

Spread-Em-Plz · 2024-12-30T02:27:37+00:00

You know, I’m not even that big or that muscular but for fuck sake, being 170 lbs of relatively lean* mass, while being young and active my appetite is usually through the roof

Even on days where I’m just existing, I have to eat so much and so often just to not get headaches and shit

(* I say “relatively lean” because I’m probably around 15% bodyfat, so I’m still kinda fat, but also I’m not exactly sure what the percentage is)

Any of my other gym going makes be experiencing having an absolutely crazy appetite?

I always find it weird when a guy asks for dating advice and people say “become charismatic”. I’m pretty sure that’s something that comes from a lot of positive experiences and social interactions. How is an introvert, especially one on the spectrum, supposed to just become charismatic?

Gary_Longbottom · 2024-12-30T01:47:01+00:00

I'm just looking for a decent woman. She's just got to be slim, nice skin, pretty smile, radiant hair, beautiful eyes, voluminous lips, and hourglass frame. Also she needs to have a college degree, have her own place, and come from a good family. She's also got to be smart, emotional available, and funny. The bar is in hell.

Proudvow · 2024-12-30T01:28:52+00:00

"Forget about young women. You need to date older women."

Okay. Even putting aside looks and kids potential, point me towards the older women who are less focused on marriage and money than and (either) less jaded and baggage ridden than or as sexually adventurous and accepting as their age 20s equivalent.

Because surely you're not pointing guys to explictly lower quality women, right...?

Do women realize they are the only match that some men talk to

I matched with a 22 BMI woman because I desperately needed female validation and attention. She's responsive but she's literally my only match so even though she's not even healthy (19-21 BMI) and I'm only trying to harvest validation and attention from her, I'm feeling the huge power imbalance in her being my only match

AutomaticMeaning3844 · 2024-12-29T23:32:08+00:00

You know how subreddits have the "READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST" rules? Even the daily thread has it in multiple places.

Well, in dating and female subreddits, there should be a disclaimer "WOMEN READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST: If you're not healthy (19-21 BMI), get healthy before you post about your dating issues".

Fattie women problems are trivial. All your problems will be fixed if you just be healthy (19-21 BMI). The same "emotionally unavailable" guys will all of a sudden be emotionally available to you. You'll get treated better. Men will treat you to dinner dates and plan elaborate fancy dates for you and pay for everything. Men will want "something serious, long term and meaningful" with you.

And all you have to do is the equivalent of showering everyday. All your problems solved with 3 words "just be healthy (19-21 BMI)"

SMH, these fattie women noobs who keep posting without reading the sticky/rules

Women: "We're not shallow, personality matters!"

Also women: "Short guys are equivalent to fat women." (even though height has nothing to do with behavior while being fat is largely due to a slobby lifestyle)

Personality matters until it doesn't. Very convenient.

Every dating post ever be like:

averageguy55: I wish I had my somebody. I’m a pretty normal dude, one time a girl said I was cute in the 3rd grade. I think I’m decent looking, normal height and weight, I make about 60k a year. I work a lot and come home to an empty house and the loneliness just hits me. Help?

Coomer_Carl22: Go to a club, or sign up for a co-ed sport, JUST talk to women, even if they’re taken. Ask for their IG or Snap bro. JUST get practice, maybe they’ll set you up with their girl friend. JUST don’t be creepy tho.

FlowersRcute: If he’s going to these places solely looking for women, he’s already messed up. If you actively look for love you won’t find it. It will just seem like you’re desperate. People can tell. I wasn’t looking when I found my current fiancé. I just let it happen.

Biceptual69: Bro get off the apps, ur fucking cooked on there if ur not 6’ ripped and rich. Go get a gym membership u sad sack of shit. Women only care about attraction that’s basic human biology.

GirlMagicIsReal7: You’re obviously trying too hard. You’re not entitled to a girlfriend just because you look decent. Do you really list off your stats to women like that on a date? Ummm wow, that’s a lot to unpack. Your personality needs major work. Women can smell you have a shit personality.

WW3_Enjoyer: Bro, relationships aren’t everything. Trust me, grass is greener. Maybe try therapy or something.

WoodStockGirl1960: I met my husband in college. He was super quiet and nerdy 😊. 53 wonderful years now. There’s someone for everyone.

Its_0ver: Just give up.

WereS0Back: Keep your chin up dude. It’s tough for everyone out there.

Smuggoid: Maybe try going for girls at your attraction level? Like you’re probably trying to date the super hot chicks or something. Your expectations are super high and off putting.

TruckerGary84: My ex-wife Michelle took the dog.

Generally speaking, if your SO would LTR you but not hook up with you (despite hooking up with other men), she’s #settling on looks and attraction. Don’t hate me, I’m just the messenger.

The problem that fucks me up is that enjoyment is not rewarding enough for women, as I'm not attractive enough on some level to appease the multi faceted aspects of what women require to be content. So basically enjoying being around you isn't enough

So there's a ridesharing app in India that started 2 years ago and is already profitable (Uber for eg still isn't profitable in India). The app works on a basic subscription model and is entirely open source. The drivers pay a flat fee per month for subscription. In return they get access to the app and it's customer base. And they get to keep 100% of the fare they make. It's good for the rider, profitable for the app owner, and doesn't exploit anyone. Based.

Fucking hell. I'm realizing now that if Lily Phillips, despite taking 101 dicks in a single 14-hour span, were to ask me out, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes. In fact, I'd prolly trip over myself just to nab the opportunity. I also am now realizing that I wouldn't at all feel any guilt, embarrassment, or shame in calling her my GF despite what she's done.

Guys I need help.

Q4W, I’ve heard a few times on here that some women don’t like the smell of male cologne and prefer men to not have it. I’ve always just assumed cologne was always better than no cologne.

Normalize asking uncomfortable questions on the first date to determine compatibility.

Women should ask men “If your girlfriend gained a noticeable amount of weight and it was affecting your attraction towards her, what would you do?”

And men should ask women “If your boyfriend lost his job and didn’t seem to be trying that hard to get a new one, what would you do?”

You can never win against someone who doesn't play fair in the emotional game that you're involved and you're the weak link.

During an argument, you can have a great case logically speaking, but as soon as you gain grounds this happens:

Comments about your tone: why are you nervous? Why are you talking like that?

If you try to explain you're not, they will keep pushing it until you either lose your cool, then they go "see, you are nervous!"

Or you keep cool and they go "see, you never believe or listen to me!"

You, being the one who wants to be in good terms, will try to show how this isn't true, but then it's too late. Now you're chasing, now you're explaining yourself. You don't have the courage to just up leave and not return because you want to be good with them. You want a negotiation for the good of both of you.

The argument is not about who is right or wrong, but who is the one that gives and cares the least. You care more, so even if you're right, by virtue of you not wanting to be on bad terms or leave , they can just puncture you there and force you to chase and try to negotiate, by them you're playing on their terms and loses.

unequivocally annoyed by my best friend of 14 years for the first time in 14 years. only recently did I think it would be a good idea to merge him into my semi-new friend group, and he's made it his mission to be the best friend of everybody in it. he persistently invites himself to things I was planning on doing 1-on-1 with other people and then makes 1-on-1 plans with those people to do stuff that he knows I hate. I can't even shit on him tbh because all of his actions have plausible deniability. but I'd never seen this side of him. more motivation to move states

For all the aspects of the redpill that I find deplorable, the extreme misogyny, the pseudoscientific nonsense, the overly capitalist mindset, etc, I can easily relate to their frustration on the amount of western women who have adopted a victim mentality no matter what situation they actually find themselves in.

I just saw a Belgian woman make a post about how we live in a society with patriarchal structures and how men need to step away from power. Like, tf do you even mean, you're literally a young woman living in Belgium, most of our institutions objectively favour you over young men yet you still think you're the disadvantaged one. It's a kind of attitude that seriously borders on a pathology, like some new version of narcissism created by the modern world of social media. There is something deeply unnerving about someone claiming they have it so much worse when it's clearly not the case at all, because they are hellbend on adopting the victim identity for themselves no matter what objective reality actually looks like. I can't imagine dating someone like this, and I feel so lucky that I found a woman who is just reasonable and believes both men and women have issues that deserve to be solved, without any of this garbage attached to it. If I were to date again I would hate to navigate this ideological minefield again.

I often wonder if people who hate body hair on women (armpits, pussy hair, legs) realize it's because of a clever marketing campaign in the 40s to shame women for having hair to double the sale of razors. Like thats it they figured they could double their sales if they could convince society that some arm pit hair and leg hair on women specifically is disgusting and needs removal.

America is just not a good place to raise a kid today.

Kids pretty much can’t go anywhere on their own without a car so they’re homebound if they’re not already in school (which they get driven to anyway lol).

They might get shot at school too since that’s the kinda thing we gotta worry about now.

Medical care for kids is expensive and may god help you if your insurance says fuck you and decides to deny you coverage.

This is excluding the regular costs of childcare. I definitely think their is more to raising kids than just the cost. People forget why it’s expensive.

But people say American workers are stupid and lazy and entitled and so they deserve worse conditions.

It's funny to think that men were basically beaten out of most of their biological impulses in order to create things like honor and duty, which makes no sense for a man to have.

Men are naturally inclined to see other men as competition and therefore are more antisocial --> systems of honor, duty and brotherhood are created. Men more likely to follow ideals and care about things like country and soil and die for honor.

Investing on the same female for long periods of time has heavy diminishing returns, species of animals that exhibit investment as a way to copulate frequently only do so until offspring is secure, afterwards the male just bounces --> creation of the protector and provider that will die for his family.

Male competitiveness is redirected to work, sports as a way to satiate the desire of one male to Kill another male.

Funny, men are basically man-made.

EqualSea2001 · 2024-12-29T17:40:10+00:00

I think the peak is late 20s, early 30s for both genders.

My mom looked literally the same, body (exactly the same despite giving birth other than some boobie sagging, but she has huge boobs), face (almost the same except very tiny crows feet and some under eye bags) at 40 as when she was 20 (also the photo quality was worse when she was 20, aka less pixels so that made her look better back then, and when she was 40 I saw her myself lol)

Obviously she is just one example, but also thinking ‘the wall’ is in your early 20s is so crazy to me. As I said, I think most will only start ‘declining’ in their mid 30s, as long as they do the same things they did when they were younger, similar eating habits, fitness level, no weight fluctuations it shouldn’t happen much earlier except for a small percentage.

The Eagles beating the living shit out of Dallas is why some games don't need to be televised. Eagles don't have their starting QB, doesn't matter, honestly the Eagles' starting O and D could've taken the day off and they'd still be up by at least 10 at the half.

So I was driving recently and didn't have anything in my podcast queue so I replayed Lex Fridman interview with Aella. Anyway there's this really brief aside convo about something called "circling" which is apparently some formula for conversations that has certain rules etc and tends to leave people mesmerized. Does anyone know wtf she is talking about? All I find in Google is https://circlinginstitute.com

Epistemological violence is distinct from epistemic injustice in that it usually occurs in the power structure of academic research, such as when interpreting empirical results in psychology. Epistemological violence is theoretical interpretations of empirical results that construct a targeted group as inferior, despite alternative and equally viable interpretations of the data.

The concept of epistemological violence and epistemological oppression are very real concepts,which were invented by feminists among other academics. The irony is that they have become the biggest perpetrator of these concepts that exists today, where theoretical interpretations of empirical results that frame men as morally, intellectually and empathically inferior are constantly being used in the social sciences even when alternative and equally viable (or even more viable) interpretations of the data are possible.

This is one of the biggest, completely under the radar of most of the public, academic injustices that is currently going on within Western countries which results in male issues being neglected and ridiculed in the policy making of Western countries. Because of this neglect, men suffer far more than they should, and are more likely to lash out in unhealthy toxic ways, which ultimately also harms women and children, as can be seen in the increase of misogyny and conservatism in young men. These people are basically fucking over almost everyone in society over the long-term while publically playing the role of the academically gifted and morally virteous when in reality all they care about is power, wealth and ideological purity.

But when you say anything about it, you're immediately piled on with authority arguments, or worse, that you're actually just a misogynist that hates women. No matter your actual character, you're framed as the bad guy for exposing the ugly truth that hides behind the pretty facade of academia. Sometimes I wonder why I even try to have discussions with people about this on Reddit, because most people don't want to understand this in the first place. But the older I get, the less I feel capable of just remaining silent about this even in my non-anonymous real life either, even though it would come at serious risks to my career, reputation and friendships. I don't just want to die knowing I stayed silent in the face of this much injustice.

Prime example of why college is a scam or 18 year olds are too dumb to enroll

Maybe we should make the voting age back to 21 because 18 year olds don't seem smart enough to read the fine print or able to understand how their repayment plan works
