It's tragic that you can't recognize a good woman when you see one.

The song “Rubberz” by Fenix Flexin has recently gained a lot of traction on social media. While there has been a collective effort to prevent the details and ideas behind the production of the song to be released to the public, this changes with my instagram account: @whitegirlploy

Yes, but that's exactly my point. You have to consider that if you were born in that exact era, as a man, you would likely genuinely find those women more attractive than what we consider attractive today. I don't mean you'd just think, "Eh... she's kind of ugly but... she's from a noble family, so I should marry her, fuck her, etc." I mean you'd actually feel attraction, desire, excitement, and all the same emotional reactions people feel when they see someone they're attracted to. That's why I push back against the idea that men have some consistent, objective evaluation system that tells them what women are attractive. (at least more or less than women do for men). Plenty of men even today pursue women who aren't really their "type" but just because they're considered socially desirable and conventionally attractive. The idea of the "trophy wife" exists for a reason. Social influence affects male attraction and mate choice very much too. That's why I don't really see how one is more relative than the other. If a woman living in the caveman-era would never bat an eye at some skinny nerdy guy and he'd essentially be pushed out of the "gene" pool, but today that same guy can suddenly become attractive because he owns a company, that shows how relative attraction can be. Likewise, if you were born a man in a period where higher body fat or extravagant pale skin aristocratic makeup were seen as attractive and signs of status, you'd probably find those women attractive too, even if those traits don't align with modern beauty standards. If you as a man were born into a different village, culture, or time period, you'd probably end up finding the women in that environment attractive, while other beauty standards might seem unappealing to you. Likewise, in some societies, it may have been far more important for a woman to come from a noble family, be highly educated, be exceptionally religious, etc. Society heavily influences what people perceive as the baseline level of attractiveness, and it also heavily influences what people perceive as being at the top of the hierarchy, so to speak. That's why I don't really see how one is supposedly objective while the other is relative.

When I talked with a girl a few days ago I noticed the one time she kind of got close physically with me which was when I was in a super careless fun state. Its almost selfish to want to be in that state, at least I feel like its very much about me in that state. I can remember very well though that this specific state is the key, its only a question of how to access it. Well it has to do with daring. Doing something I am scared to do.

@zurew I just found a website that is doing essentially the same thing (except saving to profiles): TypeMyVibe.ai. I checked some of its features and it seems to allow non-consensual profiling by simply linking an URL or online profile name handle and then running an analysis. Considering how this seems to break with GDPR profiling laws, I sent an e-mail to the guy running the website asking him about it (and the fact that OpenAI, which he uses, seems to not allow any form of personality profiling, consensual or not; and also that he uses a trademarked name for one of his tests, MBTI). Something tells me this guy might have screwed something up, he is only 26 years old and from India. As for him being based in India, it doesn't matter if he processes data from EU citizens, then GDPR (and EU AI Act, which doesn't seem relevant here) applies. It also made me think whether if I add a verification function where you can only use online profiles you own for an analysis, that could fix the non-consensual profiling issue, however, you could circumvent this by posting somebody else's post on your online profile and do non-consensual profiling that way. So it seems like maybe the only way I could use AI for my website is if I do self-assessments for the main tests and then AI meta-analyses of those tests (using another AI than OpenAI's models, for example Gemini or Claude, who do not have all all-out ban on personality profiling using their models). There is a loophole though where you can take somebody's existing answers to the test, fill them in yourself, and then do AI analysis of those. However, assuming all such answers would have to come from my website (and they're not "make-shifting" answers from other similar tests that exist), within the ecosystem of my own website, unless there is a data breach, the only reasonable way that would happen is if somebody willfully shared their answers online, or somebody stole it, or they willfully gave it to somebody else. So either consent was involved, or a data breach, or a crime was involved. If I make sure to have secure data systems, then every part of that should be considered "lawful" (or "protected" by law). At the end of the day though, it's about having appropriate safeguards in place that minimize risk (and risk is basically always there, that's the nature of risk and complexity). So perhaps you could argue that verification of online profiles could be an appropriate safeguard. But then I would have to look into the issue of sending tons of textual data to AI companies and the data processing and privacy concerns involved there (the TypeMyVibe guy circumvented this by running GPT-oss-120B on a local server; still could be in breach with OpenAI's guidelines, but it still removes that data processing and privacy issue; of course you still are saving it on your servers, but that's a different issue).

Just had a late night RV session today and it was pretty good. I just felt so peaceful and could actually stand the present moment which made it workable.

@Jordan of the Shire Do you mind sharing with us what's happened since you left that relationship? Were you not able to find other people that you were more aligned with?

A good video about crop circles, which is something I have become quite interested in over the past few years because of my love for sacred geometry, mathematics, extraterrestrials, and non-human intelligence. This documentary breaks down how this very real phenomenon was covered up and how the CIA attempted to convince people that it was a hoax.

Hey brother, It sounds like you have contraction around the whole dilemma and also not having that intellectual connection. I had the same issue in the past. But learned that it was my own inability to feel content in myself and be at peace than it was the qualities of my partner. I left that relationship and later realized i wasn't seeing things clearly. When you see the nature of thought as being something to disregard and to abide in awareness. I mean this as repeated action, done over time, than you'll have joy. I would practice this method of softening your relationship - the awareness of the perceived lack you see within your relationship. Soften how you see, literally, how your awareness knows the ideas and intellectual dissatisfaction you have. See if there is spaciousness there and relax with that. Keep doing that, and do it when you're with her. Keep doing this, and when that thought comes up like "this isn't enough" "i want something else" "I need something different" etc, soften in relationship to these thoughts. Perceive the spaciousness within thought, around the head, within the body, and let go, drop the stories. When you see her, soften your eyes, become aware of the aversion you feel, use it as practice. The greatest spiritual practice is with our current conditions, whether we are completely satisfied with them or not. And when you release like this, and let energy flow, than the right decisions and clarity will arise for you my friend. Hope this helps, let me know how you go.

Right-Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin explains this in detail. Here is a short YouTube summary: Right-wing conservative women are only an extreme example of women who uphold the patriarchy. But the world isn't divided into women who uphold the patriarchy and women who don't uphold the patriarchy. Most women uphold the patriarchy to various extents, whether strategically or unconsciously. Not necessarily in obvious ways, such as fighting to take away women's rights, like some conservative women. It can be as small and subtle as believing sexist and misogynistic stereotypes and seeing other women through those lenses, judging themselves and other women harshly according to patriarchal beauty standards, repressing femininity and judging it in others, not believing women who have gone through sexual assault and male violence, turning a blind eye to violence against women worldwide, often taking the male pov automatically to gain status and to bond with men, justifying and overly empathizing with predatory men only to appear to be the "bigger person", putting other women down to appear "cool" and "not like other girls" in order to gain approval and validation from men, even the most average and morally inferior men, and so on. Women of all kinds, to varying degrees, can do these things because we were raised in a patriarchal, misogynistic, hypermasculine, and violent society. Since many of us are not aware of the bigger picture, we act selfishly in order to survive in the system and gain a temporary advantage, without realizing that it comes at the expense of other women, and at the end, indirectly, to ourselves, because it preserves the system that opresses us. If it's not hurting us when we are pretty, young, naive, submissive, spiritually repressed, pleasing (which what patriarchy often values in women the most), then it will hurt us when we are older, uglier (according to patriarchy), more assertive, spiritually awaken, opinionated, intelligent and wise. No woman is really protected under patriarchy. No women is protected from systemic gender based violence and oppression. We can only be truly free and protected from violence when all women are free and protected from violence. It is easy to look at the most extreme cases of right-wing women and laugh at them for their foolish and low-consciousness behavior, but it is much harder to look at ourselves and notice where we, as women, do the same, even if not in such extreme ways. This is why it is so important for women to completely deconstruct the patriarchy. It is equally important for men as well. In order to deconstruct the patriarchy, we first need to understand it: what it is and how it affects all aspects of our lives. This is a simple analogy of what patriarchy is (the famous boot analogy):

Here are my ideas 1) In general at around the 9 month mark is when the honeymoon phase of a relationship ends and people tend to see each other accurately. You can feel free to try harder when it gets hard but if you're having core incompatibilities it's gonna be hard to move past that. This is why I offered the MBTI idea so OP can literally test himself and see if his personality and his partner are more or less compatibles and decide if he wants to move forward as he fishes. There are other frameworks like the big 5 where trait openness compatibility is also important in partners. 2) Usually people that don't have a lot of options have a scarcity mindset. I've detailed one archetype that OP could fall into i.e. OP being a western dude who wasn't particularly successful in his dating life in the west moving to Indonesia and then hitched himself with the first could he could. That is an assumption that can be wrong but seems like it fits in the profile in my experience. We can't really go further than this in our assumptions before OP gives me more detail. 3) It would make sense that people with not a lot of abundance that are in scarcity would he more heavily skew towards trying to make something work that's not incompatible because they have low standards. That seems harsh but that's how abundance works in any competitive market. If you have not a low of job offers you're gonna accept something that's not as great as someone who has many other offers that can afford to be pickier in his or her decisions. You never made a point that contradicts this you just said that you think being risk adverse would make this decision difficult. I've explained why this mindset is not optimal in my view and consistent with someone with in a position of scarcity as opposed to being wise.

I never said that you shouldnt have to defend your points but you assumed Jirh is an incel and demanded his dating resume and I said just that he doesnt owe anyone his dating history to defend his points. I already pointed out potential downsides of exploring options prematurely in my original post in this thread which is a partial defense of Jirh’s stance. How much do you learn by jumping from person to person without ever trying when it gets hard? Im not saying he should 100% stay with this woman for the rest of his life but i think Jirh’s post is closer to the frame he needs right now than what you’re offering.

'God' is the dark world giving a name to the infinite. God has no name and cannot call itself something. There is something, but to 'name' it something is not true. Labelling God as if its a thing could not be the way to understand what is happening. To understand this you must see that inside of your head is the dark world and in front of you is the light world. When you are thinking or paying attention to thought you are in the dark world when you are focused on the field in front of you you are in the light world. Saying God is not pointing to anything in front of you, its actually pointing to a name in the dark world that means life, or something, or I dont know. The terms life, or something, or I dont know, work way better as the terms point to itself. Aspects of the dark world are - 'Contemplating, thinking, planning, thinking about what to say next, ideas, names labels, measurements, reading silently in your mind.' Aspects of the light world are - 'Being, breathing, feeling, eating, doing things, speaking out loud.' When you are in flowstate you are in the light world. You are not thinking planning doing anything dark world relate you are in the light fully. Using the word God can be taking you out of the light world into the dark world as God is not 'God'. -
