I agree. I know that it's not chastising. That's why I specifically said it APPEARS to be as such. Emerald is doing her job splendidly. My only point is that she is still deaf nonetheless.

@Gesundheit Someone's antsy

Gee what a great listener you are...

Wrong. There is your deafness right there. Men more then anything want to feel NOT-dismissed. In saying this, you dismiss the man's perspective (even if that's not your intention), and hence you are not really understanding/listening to their needs. Every time you find a man on this forum screeching about "nice guys vs bad boys," or just sex in general, the translation is: "Am I enough? Please tell me enough. Please." And every time, a barrage of women descend on these men calling them "not integrated enough" or whatever else. Rather than accepting men at their level, you appear to chastise them from your throne. Deaf. And these are just the less developed men, by the way. Do you really know what a fully self-actualized man wants from his partner? It's not so obvious. Now, me pointing this out to you will tragically come off as ME being blind to YOUR point against Leo (even though that's not my intention). Reading through my comment here may even in turn give you an urge to deconstruct all of my blind spots (no doubt there are many). And the cycle continues. Leo is spot on. I agree

we won't. watch leo's most recent blogpost

thanks preety

coca's joking

Oh boy. lol

lol poor boy

Horrible advice from the women in this thread lol. To be fair, they know what they personally like from a man, but they have no idea what the difficulty curve is like for becoming comfortable on first dates as man. They're not realistically honing their advice to your situation @machinegun Listen to Leo.

So many plant milks are fortified that it's disingenuous to say that they're lacking nutrients lol. I can tell you're judging before even having tried shopping for dairy alternatives.

real person or use your imagination

Wow. You really did the work in one go. Keep it up! P.S. So... are girls still attractive to you too?

Yeah this is all wrong lol. Where'd you get these ideas?

lol

But L̶e̶o̶ Phil, I love spicy foods!

You got me there I should've been more clear: With age, you're more likely to be "humbled by life," i.e. experienced. That is, experienced relative to your younger self. Simply being old, as you've rightly pointed out, is no indicator of intelligence or wisdom, but I still do think it's a fair generalization that younger people tend to be less inexperienced, and hence less wise (to their future counterparts). Even the moronic grandpa supporting trump has necessarily been through more and hence has a (marginally) wider realm of judgement relative to his 20 year old self. D'angelo's particular inexperience is certainly tied to his age. I don't see him acting this way in 15 years from now. As for you, I think it's great that you consider yourself sharp for your age. Please don't think I'm saying your age is a mental handicap. It's not. I'm just noticing that in 5, 10, or 20 years you will be whatever you are now x5, x10, x20, or even xinfinity. The same goes for me.

You have one of the most well-put together journals. I love the bullet points, text bolding, and relevant video clips.

haha. you have no idea by what bounds and leaps you will have grown in 5, 10, or even 20 years. don't think for a second that you know yourself at only 17. It's not a matter of critical thinking. It's a matter of experience and being humbled by life.

I love your writing style and use of the word "you" to address yourself. Chin up, girl.

It's over, dude
