It smells a lot like "not all men" - apparently, it's ok to say "men are rapists" and responding "not all men" means you defend rapists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NotAllMen The people who think it's acceptable to say "men are rapists" without any kind of qualifiers are idiots. The ones who think that reminding the idiot that most men aren't rapists is bad, are also severely lacking in the brain department. If majority of modern women are problematic, it's ok to say that. And then you can "no…

Not OP, but it's worth pointing out that just because you can self validate doesn't mean all, or even most, men are capable of doing so. I'm a woman and I self validate rather than relying on such from others. That doesn't mean most women do. Unfortunately we live in a time when the majority of the population, both men and women, are hyperfixated on external validation, being "liked" by many strangers, and post everything that happens to them as if it's of utmost importance. Self validation is a…

Many people do have issues, yes. I admit to having some too, primarily regarding abandonment and a constant feeling of not being a valuable person unless I'm a successful financial provider. Unfortunately a significant number of men and women are attracted to the wealth that celebrity lives bring, which does lead to the strange obsession some have with famous people.

If you didn't pass the looks barrier then your personality would never even be known Yes, that's the point I made. And tons of people will put up with a horrendous personality if you look good enough Most men and women will not put up with a horrendous personality longterm, even if you're very attractive. Some will, certainly, but those people have issues themselves.

@GPN_Cadigan too. I'm typically a lurker here, and an egalitarian woman, who is with a fat man. My answer to this is that yes, because you lost weight you became more conventionally attractive to many more women. While you were fat, far fewer of us were attracted to you. This happens to women too, it's not a new phenomenon. In my opinion, personality is just as important as looks. However, nobody can see your character traits, so looks is more important in the beginning. Personality is more impo…

I (39F) have never been married, nor do I have children. My lover (54M) is also never married and childfree. We don't live together, or have access to each other's finances. I make slightly more than him, and pay for all our dates. We've been together for almost 17 years. I have never received any status or money from him...he's an elementary school teacher.

I agree, but at least in the US we still aren't even allowed to sign up for the Draft. I was really pissed off when I learned that last month. I'm 39 years old, always a tomboy, primarily male friends. When my group all turned 18, I went with them to the post office and we all filled out the Selective Service paperwork with the soldier helping out. I handed mine in, he was surprised and asked if I was actually looking to join the military. Told him no, I was simply putting my name in for the Dra…

Sure! I think differentiating the entitled women from just normal modern women could be done by calling them "sprinkle chicks" or "anti-egalitarians" or even "princess dates". Of course, on reddit they already call themselves pinkpill.

Actually in my country the feminist movement and most of the women claim exactly the same as you do: they say that in our patriarchal society women pain is not considered enough by a male centered all man medicine I'm sorry they do that to you guys. I'm not a feminist, nor do I believe in the "patriarchy" they constantly push. We live in a world where both sexes have privileges and oppressions, often but not always reversed.

With “DRIZZLE DRIZZLE”, a massive conglomerate of women (all across the planet) are fully supporting the movement; publicly. They are absolutely ripping most modern women a new one, calling them out on their dysfunctional & unrealistic demands of men and laughing at them; stating how they asked for this when they attacked, bullied & demonized men for simply being men/masculine.

It's better to be lonely than to sacrifice your own dignity to put women on a pedestal. This is true, which is why if you ever change your mind about being in a relationship, you find a normal woman who doesn't want to be pedestalized. Egalitarian would be your best bet, as she'll split the dating expenses without ever being asked.

I don't have time to read through the entirety of both again, so I did a "find in page" search for the terms you mentioned. Neither "talk down" or "talked down" were in either of the articles anywhere. The terms "ignore" and "ignored" were in one of the articles. Here's the sentence: Possibly both money concerns and the provider role operate as justification to avoid seeking health care—again in line with masculine gender scripts—and that married men ignore, downplay their symptoms, or are just …

I read both of your links, and while both were very wordy, I did not see your claim within either of them. Both links talked about topics such why more men than women avoid going to doctors, how masculine stereotypes hurt men's chances of accepting care, the harm of teaching boys to push through/ignore pain, and the fact many men view preventative care as unnecessary even when it's low cost. Maybe you meant to link to a different article? Or you could let me know which small segment I missed in …

It's interesting how things are reversed where you are. In the US, we have the opposite problem where women's pain is typically claimed by male and female nurses/doctors alike to be "greatly exaggerated". Either way, this is medically and morally wrong, to assume someone who is ill or had a procedure is lying for attention or increase of painkillers. I'd recommend mentioning it to whatever supervisors you have, as it is incredibly poor care.

I may be off with my dates...remember, this is 20 years of history I've lived through. I started getting interested in all these blogs, forums, meetups, YouTube channels, etc when I was only 19. It's also possible I'm remembering their personal videos and comments that were made prior to the creation of the actual HB group. I'm still glad they acknowledge gender roles are fine for those who want them, but they hardly work for all.

Perhaps they've changed over the years. I've been involved in the manosphere since 2004, and when they were very first starting out they did have a more traditional-gender-roles-are-best kind of message. I haven't listened to them specifically since about 2007 however. My own 16 year relationship is a general masc woman/femme man one, so I'm glad to hear some people acknowledge it's worth it to be yourself.

I didn't want to accuse or downplay the actions of any individual, it's more of a statistics question on my part. I understand, and it's an excellent question! Unfortunately there's no surveys or studies I know of with an even somewhat substantial answer.

I'd imagine all women are misandrists to some extent just due to how society runs, but to pick out if it is an issue or just your average person is tough. Careful, friend. This sounds exactly like what feminist ideology says about your sex, just flipped. The sexist belief of All Women Are Like That is the same as the sexist belief of YesAllMen. It removes any chance for discussion or support from the opposite sex, because we're automatically seen as part of the problem, simply because we were bo…

I'm not a "Honey Badger" because many of them hold traditionalist views on relationships, but I've been talking about men's rights to anyone who will listen for the last 20 years.

When a woman posts a picture of herself doing anything, she gets lots of compliments from men and women alike saying “beauty” or “gorgeous”. I've always wondered what it would be like getting this kind of attention, but it seems reserved for women who are actually gorgeous/beautiful. Like I've seen such comments on my sisters Facebook and Instagram posts, but they are definitely what the typical young woman is like...tight or revealing clothing, perfect hair, makeup done, nails done, filters on.…

I think it's really going to depend on the area you're currently in. I (39F) was a virgin until 23. Didn't have sex until after graduating college, which was in a hyper liberal/extremely feminist town. Whenever my female classmates found out I was a virgin, they would hate on me hard for being a goody-girl, "upholding purity culture", "bowing to the patriarchy", and just generally being a weirdo for not wanting to sleep around. The slightly nicer girls would try to talk me into it by telling me …

The recent mass protests in Iceland showed us an interesting sentiment in Icelandic feminism; they're demand for being compensated for household work would require that taxpayer money get funneled into their bank accounts, tax payer money that could come from single hardworking men. In other words, it's a husband responsibility placed on men who aren't husbands. A traditional role par excellence. Question, because I hadn't heard of this before now. Are these feminists saying that ALL household w…

Speaking for myself (39F, never married, childfree, left leaning) I'm in favor of alimony for spouses who have given up a significant amount of time in their careers to become a stay-at-home parent. I'm talking like 5+ years, not 1 or 2, where it would be easy to get back into the same or very similar position. However, it should never be a lifetime payment, and there should be a written agreement from the spouses detailing how long the stay-at-home partner will be doing so. Think of it like a p…

I agree with you wholeheartedly, thank you for taking the time to clarify your statement. To be honest I was initially afraid you meant women, rather than misandrists, and was sad to see that view here.

My belief of the in-group inherent in women stems from the existence of a fierce pro-woman sentiment in many men of both conservative and liberal circles. Take it for the anecdotal evidence it is, but in my experience it is less of an in-group bias for women, and more of feminist ideology. If you do not toe the line and enthusiastically repeat their talking points, having a vagina won't save you.

Not the person you were talking to, but personally I'm against both redpill and feminism. Both have a handful of truths in them but likewise both have far more half-truths in their ideologies that only serve to Other the opposite sex.

I agree that past studies and surveys have shown a greater in-group bias for women, but wonder if that would still be true in the past 4 years. There's definitely a significant amount of men online, primarily in mgtow, conservative, and redpill areas, who have a strong in-group bias for men. It would be interesting to see what the numbers are in a 2024 study.

Precisely this, 100%. I've never had an abusive romantic partner, but spent my childhood with 4 abusive/negligent parents (bios + steps). Although some of the tactics are different since young children can't leave and are more inherently at the mercy of adults, a lot of it is the same. The lovebombing (particularly from step-parents), the gaslighting, breadcrumbing, backhanded compliments, escalation, then pull back of abuse to keep you off your feet and make it difficult to guess their next mov…

Yeah, it seems like you think both kinds of genitals are displeasing to look at, or at least not good looking. I was just saying I think both are pleasing to view. So...equality, but from opposite sides of the coin.

Thanks for understanding! I'm so used to men (mostly redpillers and conservatives) telling me that "a man's body count doesn't matter to women". Or even that, as a low count woman, my "market value equal" would inherently be a high count man due to him needing to "prove" to so many women that he's worth taking to bed. It is a really shitty idea to push on people, that male and female sexual compatibility is essentially opposites.

From what I can tell reading online, it really is rare for a straight man to admit enjoying anal play, and even rarer when they like using toys, not just a finger or two. I really am glad I stuck it out and overcame my jealousy of his past. But like I said above, when we do finally separate, I will absolutely be looking for a man with a very low partner number like myself. I don't think I could handle yet another partner who had a bunch more partners than me.

For example, hear a lot of stories about women talking about men not interacting with them in the workplace. And this shows how men are being misogynistic somehow. The only way this could be misogynistic is if it is not actually inaction, but negative action. Inaction/neutrality is just that. You don't interact with a female coworker because your duties don't overlap, you work in different departments, none of your meetings are together, etc. There's no activity between you because...well, why w…

So what would you consider what happened to you and me? Personally I do consider mine to be rape, and not only because I was a child when those things occurred.

Imagine growing up as a girl. All of your male classmates are a year or more older than you.

Exactly this. Notice that I did not say they think it will lead to an increase in extramarital cheating.

Simply based on my own anecdotal experiences talking to hundreds of men and women over the years in gender/sex blogs, forums, subs, and irl...women in general are more prone to being against sex workers than men in general.

Demonstrating a bias based on gender to that gender or in the presence of members of that gender can certainly qualify as sex based discrimination and sex based harassment. Correct. But that's sex-based harassment, not sexual harassment. Those are 2 very different kinds of discrimination and harassment.

A couple points - HR is not your friend. HR is not there to advocate for the worker. HR is there to limit company liability.

Yeah. For example, I got a bunch of hateful PMs from 7 different accounts a couple years ago, after having a disagreement with 2 pink pillers on PurplePillDebate. They were seriously pissed off that I was egalitarian and also enjoy paying 100% for the hangouts my FWB and I do. They essentially claimed women like me, who split on dates and/or like to treat our male partners, are a huge problem and we drive the cost of sex down by "giving it away" for free to our lovers.

Fine, but that isn't how it works. Boys don't 'start maturity later'. Its that women's are accelerated in certain aspects in line with biological necessity. That is exactly how it works.

It's not the same amount of time. It literally is. In my example, both the girl and boy matured physically over the course of 7 years. One started earlier and thus ended earlier.

I'm only familiar with laws in the US, but one of the ways men are discriminated against is during arrests for domestic violence disputes.

I think it's a combination of us hitting puberty earlier than boys, and the fact we are usually expected to care for our family/younger siblings more often than boys are. Biologically speaking, average age of first menstruation in girls is 8 years old - 12 years old. Age of puberty onset for boys is 10 - 14 years old. This means that, given a boy and girl who are both 15, it's highly likely the girl has been dealing with hormonal, mental, and physical changes longer. It's pretty well known that,…

I'm very surprised by this, since we've never cohabitated, he has no way to get me pregnant, in all 16 years he's never bought me anything more expensive than a dinner at Olive Garden, I owned my car and had my own apartment even when we first met, and I had just graduated college before we had sex.

Nah, hypergamy is a real thing. I mean, the term has been around in modern writing since the 1880s, it's an actual thing that women and men do. I obviously disagree with the redpill claim that "all women are hypergamous" because we aren't. But some definitely are.

Oh, hypergamy is still an idiotic way to live one's life imo. When you're only with a guy due to him having money, that's not a reliable, loving, compassionate, or realistic foundation. Even millionaires can go broke. Far better to be with someone due to loving him, not his wallet.

Pink pill is essentially "female dating strategy". Think of it this way; take the commonly accepted redpill tropes of 1. Women only want men who can provide them with resources/money, 2. If you show emotional vulnerability to a woman, she will believe you're a weak provider, 3. Women often monkeybranch from one man to another when one shows higher financial success, 4.

Fwiw, I'm not in favor of society pushing the idea of unconditional love. Love should be conditional...on how your partner treats you. Saying to either sex that you're supposed to stay through any and all rough times is how so many end up remaining in legitimately abusive relationships.

I think it does exist and there are incentives to do that. It absolutely does exist, and is horrible not only for the child but everyone involved other than the abuser. My father attempted to do so, and in a weird irony one of his previous wives/my ex-stepmother tried to do it to him, with their daughter/my half-sister.

Much like when we get harassed or assaulted by men, it doesn't matter if we're single, married, engaged, or otherwise in a longterm relationship. It doesn't matter if we're happy being alone or if we're incredibly lonely.…

The twenty-something’s actually insisted on paying the first date, almost every time. Pretty crazy. I (39F) am in a long-term relationship with a 15 year age gap, that started when I was 23. I can say with confidence that the reason for us paying at that age is to make sure we're starting off on equal financial footing and not seen by older men as gold diggers or users. It also really helps when we're defending ourselves against older women who think we're idiots and our dates are "creeps".

This isn't only a Gen Z thing, it spans every modern generation. I'm an older millennial and this was something I always made sure to discuss prior to going on the first date with guys, so they knew beforehand I'd absolutely be paying for myself, and him if he wished. There was a very stark difference between the men who were cool with splitting vs wanting me to pay for it all vs refusing to go on a date with me for wanting to pay.

While it is true, many have called feminism a weaponising of borderline against autism. I believe it. They don't like us (autistic women) either. We're often accused of internalized misogyny and being pick mes.

I can say it because throughout my entire life, my closest friends have always been men, and the traits I see in them are the ones I've also had as a naturally masculine woman. Usually, when a feminine woman tries to act masculine, she overdoes it since it's not something that she is familiar with. This is especially true for the ones who have no male friends and/or think they must be masculine to obtain any admiration from their employees/coworkers.

I don't believe that heterosexual couples are the only ones capable of raising children in a healthy and respectful manner, but will agree that both feminine role models and masculine role models are necessary. For example, in the case of a gay couple raising their daughters, they should have some close female friends/relatives in the kids lives. And vice versa for sons raised by lesbian parents. Other than that, I think we're in agreement.

It works between you two cuz it's still that interplay between masculine & feminine energies. My best friend & her husband have very similar dynamic.

And that's an okay opinion to have, so long as you're still polite to trans people. Personally I believe in brains determining one's gender, since that's the actual person.

Wait until you find out that women also base a man's entire worth on how much women want him and thats probably why men are so self conscious about it in the first place.

Unfortunately, many men (at least in this subculture of the internet) will just brush off these exact answers if they don't conform to what he wants to hear. I've always been open and honest about how and where I met my FWB, what physical and social traits made me want to be around him, the reason we became sexual partners after being normal friends for 2 years, etc. Some guys appreciate this information...most claim I'm just virtue signaling. It's pretty frustrating to be asked an earnest quest…

This is the biggest point that people on both sides don't seem to realize. There is nothing immoral or unethical about high N. Low N people aren't better or purer. It's not even a guarantee that someone would or wouldn't have a STD or sexual trauma or hangups about sex. The issue about high N is, it shows that...at some point in that person's life...they didn't place a big emphasis on LTRs and probably see sex as just another fun thing to do on a Saturday night.

Personally bodycount doesn’t matter too much to me within reason, I’d say over 20 would be a no go. Yeah, for me 15 is the highest I can go without ick. What matters more is that we have commitment and ideally he’s had long term serious relationships before and a deal breaker is a history of cheating on any partner. For me, deal breakers are one night stands/hookups and cheating. Longterm relationships are preferable but one or two short term relationships are acceptable. A lot of women virgins/…

Some low n count women do want guy with high n count, Sure, there's a minority of low N women who do want high N men. Similarly, there's some low N men who don't mind a high N woman. They just aren't the majority. because they think that high n count guy is less likely to cheat when he commit because he had he share and now he want to settle, Unfortunately this has been shown to be the opposite case. In general, (obviously not 100%) both men and women with high N have a higher difficulty in bein…

Except for the fact we get gaslit all the time here, or accused of outright lying or virtue signaling. There was one post a couple months ago where about 12 of us low N women in the comments specifically said "we do not want high N men, and we know other low N women who also don't want high N men". Guys came out of the woodwork to claim we are all outliers. Don't believe it. If a woman is low N, the likelihood she wants a husband, boyfriend, or lover who is a male slut is incredibly small.

But that's not a FWB, that's a fuck buddy. FWB is a casual relationship where the main reason you're together is companionship and the secondary reason is sex. Hence...friends with benefits. Sex is an added benefit, friendship is the core. Yeah, FWB doesn't always lead to marriage. Sometimes it does, there's like 5 people in PPD that it worked out that way for them. But it is uncommon, I'll agree. You're overestimating how important random stranger's "approval" means to the average, normal, ever…

I don't know what a situation ship is... For a minority of women, sure. I'll give you that much. But those are outliers, not the majority of us. If you could offer the average woman sex with the man she lusts after vs 100 likes on her social media, only a small percentage would want the likes.

And what was that guess based on? FWB is a casual relationship, just not a committed one. Idk what you're referring to by "chill with sex", like what does that mean? Most women aren't asexual or sexually traumatized, the overwhelming majority of us desire sex.

Uh, why are you pulling random assumptions out of your ass now? How does being in a longterm monogamous casual relationship = sex addict in your mind?

Dude, using the women at that sub to represent the rest of us is like using a mgtow forum to represent men as a whole. You're taking the most bitter and hurt people around to make assumptions about everyone else. We have sex with the men we desire because we want to fuck them and be both physically and mentally intimate with them. Again, attention doesn't satisfy one's libido.

A woman who gets constant attention and no sex will also be satisfied. Speak for yourself. Attention doesn't relieve horniness or quench the desire to be intensely intimate and loved physically by another person.

Fair, but do you really think wooing is inherently the same as pedestalizing? Like, when I do things for my FWB like pay for dates, give small gifts or candy, plan mini vacations, etc I'm not putting him above myself or thinking he's "more" than he actually is. I simply enjoy making my partner happy, which in turn makes me happy and emotionally fulfilled. Pedestalization is when you hold some in such high esteem that it's exaggerated unrealistically.

If a guy can’t come it’s his fault. If by his "fault" you mean the male body just sometimes doesn't cooperate...sure. Although it's not as if the guy in question does not want an orgasm. Typically it is frustrating for both partners and needs to be handled/talked about with compassion and mild understanding of biology.

You're welcome, and yeah...if you want to wear makeup because you like the artistic style, and it allows you to show more self-expression, go for it!

You feel the social pressure when every woman around you wears makeup I agree there is a big expectation for us to use cosmetics, and there is some social pressure to wear it even on a normal, boring day.

For example, it's hard to get people to simply admit that they care about what others think. It depends on the topic and the person. Would be more accurate to say "I don't care what random strangers think" or "I don't care what my family thinks, but I care about what my best friend thinks", etc.

I don't agree with your representation of biology OR the social aspect lol. The idea of "women just are, men need to be made" is pretty terrible for both sexes. Men and women are both human beings, we both have to grow and learn and develop ourselves as we get older. We both go through puberty, our bodies change, and yes for some of us this is an unwelcome change, for most it is accepted and even desired to an extent. Point is women and men alike are made.

I'm from the US and the only other country I've been to is Canada. I recognize that we aren't as dangerous as some other countries, but that doesn't mean we have no human trafficking, serial killers, one off murders of opportunity, rapists, thieves, etc. Yes, I'm glad that didn't happen too. It's rare but obviously does happen.

No, I don't. I view society as two sides of a coin. On one side are men's privileges and issues, on the other are women's privileges and issues. They are almost always direct mirrors of each other. Nobody has 100% of their life on easy mode, regardless of which sex they are. People tend to think the grass is greener on the other side, but that's because they aren't seeing the trouble underneath.

Thank you for the examples, I appreciate it. well actually compatibility dynamics are never gonna happen if the guy is not attractive enough for the woman to decide they are in a relationship Okay, this does lead me to think the disconnect in our conversation is because of demisexuality. For me, so long as he is not legitimately ugly, like a 4/10 or less, sexual/romantic attraction forms over time due to said compatibility. Regarding the paying on first dates thing, that seems like a very Americ…

Maybe it's because I'm demi, not sure, but in my experience, compatibility dynamics is a huge part of finding someone attractive in the first place. But it's possible I'm misunderstanding you. Do you have an example besides approaching? For me, I prefer doing the approaching and hate being approached, because 1. I want to be the initiator and have control over the situation at first, and 2. I hate rejecting people. But when I've approached men and they liked it/accepted, it's probably not becaus…

I'll halfway agree with this. Imo it's not so much that polar opposites attract, but rather moderates on two sides attract. If they're too different from each other, the relationship will be tense, have misunderstandings, they'll eventually get tired being around each other. If they're only mildly different, it can work out very well because each partner meshes with the personality areas that are lacking/lesser in the other. Like I'm introverted, stoic, reserved, very minimalist and my FWB is ex…

Not automatically, they should find a partner who's cool with it. Like I enjoy watching porn, both by myself and with my FWB.

My other 2 sisters don't watch porn themselves but don't care if their man does, so long as it doesn't become an issue.

Yes, the fact that women are the ones who get bored in long-term cohabitating relationships and are more desirous of sexual variety after just a few years.

All of this has nothing do to with what l said about sexual variety for men and women Okay so since we agree eggs vs sperm doesn't have anything to do with wanting sexual variety, what other reasoning do you have? Because it seems most women actually do want sexual variety. It's one of the core issues many men have here, that apparently most modern women with access to birth control and lacking in social stigmas, will typically have a decent number of lifetime partners.

I'm not religious, but nature doesn't "design" anything. If a trait isn't harmful or negative towards reproduction, it's not going to be naturally selected against.

Testosterone levels can vary significantly from person to person and even have a daily cycle.

Never mind all these pill colors. The real thing that divides us all is whether someone thinks of sex as something to do as just another fun activity with anyone who wants to bang VS someone who thinks of sex as a very special activity to only share within a LTR.

Depends on how you define single.

Nobody is screaming here, idk what you're on about. There's no need for you to get overly dramatic or emotional. Grooming is not necessarily child abuse. As I pointed out it can happen to people of any age. Yes, obviously no successful man or woman wants a hard-headed partner who hasn't accomplished anything in life. That's common sense. Nobody is against that. There's nothing wrong with becoming a mentor or friend to an ambitious man or woman. Again, nobody is speaking against that. But ambitio…

Dude, you literally wrote about someone finding a "malleable" young woman who they can "conform" to suit their life. That's a huge part of what grooming entails. If my guy ever spoke like that even just barely, or acted like I didn't already have my own life going on as a self-reliant adult in my own right...I would have been gone so fast it'd look like a cartoon.

malleable women who can conform to their lives Speaking as a woman in a longterm age gap relationship where he's 15 years older than me...eww. Seriously, just no. Statements like this are exactly why people are concerned that women like me have been groomed by our non-predatory guys.

Okay, so hear me out...what about older male/younger female age gap relationships where the woman is the initiator? Or at least the first one of the two to admit she finds him sexually attractive? Also, a man my own age is still stronger than me, so idk what that has to do with anything.

Because he has said he'd like to have one for the rare occasions I'm not around, and he has free time. It would be difficult because, while I think he's very sexy and attractive, he isn't conventionally so. He's 53 years old, 5'10 and about 50 lbs overweight, with grey hair. He doesn't make much money either (I actually make slightly more) and has a decent amount of debt, so he couldn't get a sugar baby either.

This is so honest and self aware. Thank you, Grid.

So they won't cheat, because they have no options. That's one of the reasons it's worth it for them to marry. So in your opinion marriage isn't worth it due to an assumed lack of sex vs the other…

This is why I always say that any American / Western woman who follows the advice of these red pill dudes when it comes to best strategies on marriage/their best time to get married and their value is fucking herself immensely.

All I'm saying is that, if you define it like that, it contradicts saying there are fetishes for body parts and age, cause you can see those, too. I agree with body parts and included it in my initial definition. You can't see age though. There's no way to just look at someone you don't know and tell they are a 18 year old guy vs a 21 year old guy, for example. In reality, yes, there are fetishes for body parts, but no, not for age, race, or weight/height. And if you think age and race should be…

In reality, fetish by definition is attraction to certain body parts, objects, and activities. Yeah, that's what I said already. Not properties. So no such thing as age or race fetish.

Is that how you define a fetish, huh? Yeah, it's usually in reference to objects or a very specific body part. But if someone literally only attracted to their partner due to knowing said person is specifically 18...I'd definitely call that a fetish. So men who are only attracted to nonfat women have a weight fetish? Nah, because that's actually related to something you can see. Physical and sexual attraction is based primarily on looks so that's normal.

I don't see most people making up definitions...babies, zygotes, fetuses, and embryos are all terms that have been used for years. They do actually refer to different stages in the fetal development. On the pro-choice side we tend to rely on these medical terms, perhaps more often than needed, in order to combat the forced-birther ideology of calling everything from a just-fertilized egg forward a baby. It would be better, imo, if both sides just called it an unrealized human or potential being.

Sure, if there was no feelings of pleasure and/or intimacy and love that we create in each other via sex, it's highly unlikely anyone would do it.

If you're into lore heavy single player fantasy RPGs...yes, I think it's still a good franchise to get into. The most recent one was DragonAge Inquisition which I believe released in 2015, and the newest one, Dreadwolf, is a direct sequel and will be out either sometime late this year or more likely 2024.

In having so many discussions with men here, it seems the default concept of "average woman" is the type who is extroverted, enjoys partying/clubbing, has a constant busy social calendar, lots of friends, enjoys the limelight and attention of others, and is just generally a social butterfly. I can't relate to this kind of lifestyle, since it's the opposite of my own. How many of us women here are homebody, introverted, quiet, kinda loner or solitude loving types? If there's a bunch of us, could …

It doesn't help that many Nice Guys<sup>TM</sup> automatically assume that if a woman is in a relationship then the man she's with is inherently a "bad boy", despite him being a genuinely good, nice, kind, and empathetic human being. If everyone with a penis except for you is a "bad boy", it makes your difficulties with dating easier to swallow since you can virtue signal to yourself all day.

I don't think all of us are like that, even as high schoolers and college age.

Okay, so this probably shows my lack of knowledge with current dating apps, but I've never been on tinder.

I will say if you can establish with these men that you are not a dating prospect for them first in some manner that will allow you to be much less restricted with your support.

In my opinion, FWB is just a casual sexual relationship rather than a committed sexual relationship. The biggest difference besides lack of cohabitation is lack of family involvement...like if I was his longterm girlfriend, I'd fully expect to be invited to family gatherings and asked my opinion on certain family decisions.

Then he goes off about "body shaming" and "other women like it" and "its the best size". Like I couldn't give fewer fucks if I actively tried, dude. Go send it to women who think large dicks look nice …

Stir fry. Get some firm tofu, water chestnuts, baby corn, broccoli, garlic, carrots, honey...delicious with brown rice.

This is one of the reasons I think never living with my FWB has made our relationship last so long. Although we talk on the phone everyday, we only physically see each other once or twice a week. Granted, part of it is being demi, but I still only want him even 15 years later...I have no lust for anyone else. I'm confident that this is partially due to a lack of cohabitation. A lot of women, and men too, in longterm committed relationships will talk about how they begin to see their spouse in th…

I consider FWB a casual, rather than committed, relationship. The main difference is that it's inherently temporary/never meant to be permanent and you don't go to family gatherings/work parties as a couple. You're still friends at the end of the day, not dating.

It's really fantastic if you; Don't want kids. Don't want to cohabitate. Don't want to share finances. Don't want to spend time with each other's family. Just want a very close friend and companion who you enjoy sex with.

A bunch of people on PPD act like having a sex/relationship partner who is more than 5 years older is almost inherently problematic or manipulative. So... I'm in a healthy, longterm, age gap relationship. Ask me anything. I'll answer honestly as possible.

i repeated because i think it explains it It doesn't. biases (treating as someone lower in hierarchy) and lack of specific physical intimacy, sex in general Okay...this seems like an incomplete sentence, but I believe treating one's partner as lower in a hierarchy is inherently bad, and I don't think a healthy relationship lacks sex (unless both partners agree to it). what do u think difference between adult child and partner is?

Most redpillers aren’t really conservative or traditional—those groups tend to teach men how to treat a lady, not have sex until marriage, earn enough money to support a family. They don’t use dating apps, meeting through community and church is still very popular. Yup, exactly.

so...instead of giving love to children who require shit ton of work you swapped for a someone who understands you better, doesn't require shit ton of work and can give back Correct. A partner. someone like an adult child who understood what parents made for them I don't know what you mean by an "adult child"?

If someone doesn't want children doesn't that mean that she's not that much into giving love, which would make it (a bit) contradictory to OP statement about contributing to relationship? No, it doesn't mean that man or woman is "not that much into giving love". It means that we understand the sheer amount of responsibility, commitment, care, discipline, and yes...love for a child specifically...that goes into the successful raising of one's offspring. It is nearly 2 decades of your life spent m…

Honestly, those of us who like thicc or fat men need to learn early in life that we're going to be mocked or seen as very weird for our weight preference. It sounds like you may be young?

Unfortunately people who reproduce don't inherently have a stake in the future, there's a large amount of shit parents out there who don't even care if their children are doing well as adults, much less loving and caring for them as younglings. On the other hand, people who don't reproduce don't inherently have no stake in the future. We still generally have younger family members like cousins, nieces, nephews + friends who have kids that we care about. For example, I'm not going to ever reprodu…

What's the point? Sounds horrible - someone who you desire but can't fulfill the entire purpose of a LTR. Not everyone in the world shares your pedestalization of reproduction. That's why childfree LTRs can work extremely well if both the man and woman don't want children.

Are you maybe demisexual? There's about 10 of us on this sub who are, as far as I've been able to count. 6 women (self included) and 4 men. It's essentially being asexual/not feeling lust for an individual until after you've created a strong emotional connection. We often begin learning our sexuality is different because friends or classmates will point out "sexy" celebrities or talk about "wanting to fuck that random hot guy/gal"...and we're confused because how the hell can you want to fuck a …

This description fits me, which is surprising, as fitting gender roles isn't something I can be accused of. It's probably because the traits he listed above aren't gender roles, it's just traits of a good partner who's only interested in LTR. The description fits me too, and I'm not traditional in the least lol.

It works if both people are childfree. If one of them wants kids, then it can't survive in the long run.

Except a lot of red pillers also say "enjoy the decline" and actively speak against getting married. Some are mgtow of course, but even red pillers who aren't a part of that specific ideology are typically not in favor of involving the government in their relationships. And some of them are childfree too.

I say this because while some bi people are perfectly happy not experiencing homosexual sex, either is just as good, some seem to need/miss it to a very strong degree and all the roleplaying in the world isn't going to turn you into a guy, strap on or not. This is true, but he's not one of these men. You say you are interested in sexually adventurous but that tends to be counter to low N. How? You can do a huge amount of sexual activities with just yourself and your partner. Yeah, you won't be h…
