How do you know this? Or is this you guys wishing away the complexities of human sexuality? I would say that plenty of couples that love each other are in various forms of open relationships and studies would back that up.

Some couples choose to bring others into their bedrooms and in many cases, it actually revitalizes marital satisfaction and enriches everyone involved. Humans are not naturally monogamous; that's an institutional mold that society pushes on us for the sake of stability. If you want to have your relationship be strictly monogamous then sure go for it, but I think shaming others for their preferences reveals your immaturity and the core sexual shame that you carry.

I'm sorry that you associate sexuality with degradation. I think you really need an awakening toward the beauty of human sexuality instead of letting the sexual shame that overwhelmed you growing up leave you jaded as a grown adult. You don't have to spend the rest of your life running away and being terrified of your own nature. What happens between 2(or 3 in this context if the male partner is aware and cool with it) consenting adults in a private bedroom is usually an enjoyable experience for all involved.

Duty is an important topic in life. Wear something cute, put on a wig and make sure the boys still have a good time

I think it's a really hot fantasy and I thought about doing it even if the woman knew but the man didn't, after thinking about it more though I think I would only do it if they are in an open relationship or if he's a cuck and is into it. Human sexuality and psychology are full of enticing possibilities that would shock those of us that haven't integrated their sexuality fully. @Optimized Life Did you just hit on them or fully sleep with them and how did you meet up with them without their man present? Got their numbers and invited them over?

Your social groups need to be built on mutually aligned interests and goals. What are your goals for the next 5-10 years of your life? Build a community and social group based on that. The social circles I run are based on creative pursuits or entrepreneurship. I've made friends with both single women and women in relationships through them. Either way we can exchange value and be useful to each other's lives. I see other social circles based on temporary circumstantial proximity like coworkers grabbing drinks or college students hanging out and it tends to be more drama-filled because the people in them are not involved in anything productive together. Bachata is alright but it's a hobby more than a goal. How are you gonna build deep relationships based on something that doesn't really have a point? You can but it's gonna be hard. A lot of human bonding is based on overcoming challenges and accomplishing things together.

Very important! The world would be a sad place without women's nurturing.

Very exciting! The world is changing so fast, in 10 years it'll be unrecognizable in the best of ways.

Unperturbed and standing strong amongst the flames!

It's about to start in 5 mins as I post this, tune in it's gonna be one of the top fashion shows of the year and probably the best produced! Super excited to watch it, I've gained a new appreciation for fashion since hosting my own fashion show last year. Performances from Tate McRae, Katseye, Megan Thee Stallion and way more with obviously the top models of the world walking tonight. Update: It was sick! Well produced and the performances were really well done. Tate McRae looked divine doing it but Megan really had some swagger with her dancers, I think she stole the show. Kylie Jenner also had a surprise appearance for her first runway show ever! Highly recommend you guys watch it, it's a stellar show in terms of the visual arts industry and you get some of the hottest women in the world performing!

There aren’t 1,500 Dior and Louis Vuitton stores in France, the vast majority of those ransacked shops were neighborhood bakeries, tabacs, and small businesses whose owners now won't all get GoFundMes to survive. Just because French intellectuals write essays doesn't mean teenagers looting phones and torching town halls are executing a coherent political masterplan. An angry mob is completely different from a coherent peaceful demonstration with stated goals. Calling this a transition toward "Stage Green" is wishful thinking IMO and looks a lot like some unintegrated stage orange getting angry and turning into Stage Red. You don't get a high consciousness society by trashing basic rule of law, that just ends up triggering a heavy Stage Blue backlash, more state surveillance, and an easy electoral win for the right wing party under Marine Le Pen. Not all books are created equal. Someone can read victim-mindset based literature about how the world is unfair to them or read action-minded books about solving the problems in their life, be it financial or social. It's mostly about using the plentiful self-education tools out there instead of violently protesting in the street. Also, there’s zero contradiction in holding someone fully accountable as an adult while pointing out that their mob behavior is an emotional tantrum. Tearing down your own community doesn’t hurt the elites; it just screws over everybody but especially working-class people and makes real progress even harder to achieve.

100% without a good plan protestors are just overgrown children throwing a temper tantrum and causing millions of Euro worth of damage to their own cities. There are so many more productive ideas. Creating entrepreneurship communities to learn how to adapt to AI and generate cashflow for the wellbeing of oneself and their community would be a good start. We'll see how it turns out but this is how you end up with France as a surveillance state in 2036 and robot police beating down any whiff of protest. They're gonna end up with Marine Le Pen and the National Rally sweeping the elections in April 2027. This is the worst of the left. Angry, stupid, dangerous and making life worse for everyone due to misguided idealism.

I agree with you that the elites don't play fair and the system has massive issues. But I say this precisely as a student of history: whenever legitimate frustration turns into mob rioting, the immediate conditions almost always get drastically worse. Burning schools, cars, and local shops doesn't touch the elites, it just screws over regular working people in those neighborhoods and gives the state the perfect excuse to roll out heavier policing and surveillance. Tearing things down without a solid plan to build something better usually just backfires and makes life harder for normal people. Real question here, since we are on a self-development forum: out of hundreds of thousands of protesters, what percentage do you think are spending an hour a day reading books, learning skills, or taking free online courses to build genuine leverage in their own lives? Very few. Developing yourself is hard and takes years, joining a protest and blaming the government and the elites for your problems(even if it's partly justified) is fun and immediate but is fundamentally lazy, bypassing and also mostly doesn't work. It leads to local businesses closing and more global corporations with insurance policies that cover vandalized and looted stores. How many people in this past month have lost the work of their lives and have had to permanently close their small business because arrogant and wild youth thought they were hot shit and were teaching a lesson to the system? Apparently it's around 1500 businesses were ransacked, vandalized, or looted over this weekend alone. These businesses are not Hermes outlets. They are local bakeries and coffee shops where people have their hours cut due to this if the business doesn't have to shut down as a whole. Protests also cause public transit issues for anyone needing to use it to get to work on time. You think the protestors have pity for that?

Right, it's also a lot of lazy, entitled people who refuse to provide value to the system. Is that really what you stand for? More like it gives them the political will necessary to weaken EU's surveillance laws and will end up with Palantir like tech restoring the rule of law over this nonsense. Protesting is one thing, but riots damaging cities are another. Chaos and anarchy are not a tool of enlightened beings seeking to better society; they are maybe 30% that and 70% anger and bypassing one's responsibility towards society in favor of complaining and fucking shit up for easy dopamine. @Schizophonia What are your thoughts on the current situation as a French citizen?
